contributes a considerable sum of money every year for the expenses of the exploration which Professor Petrie Is now making In the lard of the Pharaoh There is cow however a row between the American and the English members of the society and the former flatly say they win rot contribute any longer to the expenses of exploration unles certain concession are made to demands which they have sent to London The society Includes many of the best knowr scientists in this country and England William Copley Winslow and Charles Hutchinron are vice presidents for this country and the honorary vice president is Charles Warner The president is Sir John MacFarland of London For some time antiquities which have been secured from explorations and excavation Americans say have not been distributed by English officials of the society with any regard to the proportion of money which has been subscribed ir this country Americans have contributed J80G0O within the last thirteen years while English subscriber have only turned in about JSS000 Mi English musemus are securing a vastly greater portion of antiquities Mr Wirslow became indignant over this Injustice and wrote a series of letter from Boston to subscriber of the society advising them no longer to recognise the English committee which governs the American subscriptions but to Insist that the American subscribers elect a committee of their own whose voice shall be equal in influence to the English committee in order that American museums shall receive thir proportion of antiquities Supporting him in this contention are such prominent archaeologists as Thornton Lothrop of Boston Charles Buncher of Detroit Professor Didania dean of Syracuse University the Rev Dr A Putnam of Concord Mass Professor Howard Osgood of Rochester
