2 THE DAILY RECORD, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1908. .NS 612. :: BBRLIIV :: widely in public galleries, in state and municipal buildings, and in private houses. One of the finest specimens of German sculpture, Professor Klinger's Der Beethoven, now in Leipzig, will be one of the most interesting exhibits. It is to be hoped that Professor Schott’s mission will prove entirely satisfactory, as such exhibi tions contribute greatly towards international amity and mutual respect. Bronislaw Hubermann will give a popular concert at the Mozart Saal on March 11, with the Mozart orchestra. Tickets at marks 2.50, 1.50, and 1.0 obtainable from Bote and Bock, or Wertheim, and at the Mozart Saal. The concert postponed by Fraulein Helene Staegemann on account of illness will take place at the Mozart Saal on March 4. — *—— - ■ ■ ART IN BERLIN. III. GENERAL YEWS. (Continued.) ALLEGED NAVAL ESPIONAGE. There remains something to be said about the painters, other than Sir Joshua Reynolds and Gainsborough, who are represented in the Exhibi tion of Old British Masters at the Konigliche Kunstakademie. It is impossible, however, to al lude singly to all the beautiful and charming things that the works of those painters show.us. Two very beautiful family groups by John Hoppner (1758—1810) shall be mentioned first. One of these represents the family Raymond Symonds: on the left are two small boys, the elder in a dark-brown, the younger in a light-brown coat; the latter is mounted on a large white Newfoundland dog with a black head which is turned towards a small brown and white “Spitz”; on the right, under a fine old tree, sit two young girls in light-coloured frocks, one of whom is attending to her smaller brother on the dog. In colour and in movement the picture is very life-like, if the flesh tones, particularly in the hands, seem rather too red. Hoppner’s other picture is called “The Setting Sun”, and represents the Godsal children—two girls, one of whom, with her hand over her eyes, is gazing into the distance. On the right, on the garden path, stands a little fair-haired boy looking frankly at the beholder. The effect of the picture is much heightened by the coloured sunlight. Of the paintings by George Romney (1734—1802) the splendidly drawn and delightfully softly-coloured portrait of Mrs. John Johnson must not be passed over. The lady is wearing a large light-blue hat, under which her luxuriant and slightly powdered hair sets off a fine oval head. Romney’s portrait of John Walter Tempest is very well known. This young man is standing by his cream-coloured horse and holding the bridle while the animal drinks from a stream; in his left hand is his riding whip. The ground colour of this distinguished and, in its lines, nobly dignified portrait is brown. The coat and waistcoat that John Tempest wears are brown, his stockings greyish brown, his shoes black and fastened with buckles. The portrait of Mrs. Lee Harvey and her child, painted by Sir Henry Raeburn (1756—1823) is con ceived with great depth of feeling. The mother is sitting on a red ottoman; her little daughter stands on her left, resting her head lovingly on her mother’s cheek. The child’s left hand with a true childish gesture is laid on her mother’s breast, her right hand, reaching over the mother’s shoulder, has caught hold of her hand. Both mother and child are clothed in chaste white, and this picture, full of feeling as it is, diffuses a chasteness, a love, and pure innocence that make an enduring impression on the beholder. Sir Henry’s wife’s portrait painted by him is among those ex hibited; in colour and attitude a noble, matronly woman whose wonderfully < life-like hands are par ticularly striking. The portrait of Sir William Maxwell is also a fine one; a three-quarter length, in which the slim figure of the old soldier stands out from a dark background in a red uniform coat and with yellow trowsers. The left hand holds the sword-knot, the right the red sash. The intelligent and thoughtful face is highly finished. But Sir Henry’s best picture is the portrait of a man in a closely buttoned-up dark-green coat with a white tie; a man who must undoubtedly have belonged to a good middle-class family, and made his way through life carefully, ably, and honourably. The lips and chin are clean-shaven, but the cheeks are adorned by a good pair of whiskers. The man is sitting on a bench, the left hand carelessly resting on the rail, as a symbol of substantial comfort and circumspection. One of the most charming pictures in the whole collection is the portrait of Julia, Countess of Derby, by Sir Thomas Lawrence (1769—1830), known as “Childhood’s Innocence.” On a red rug, spread put on a lawn, sits the most entrancing child that can be imagined. Black, coquettishly parted and curled hair covers a graceful little head, out of which a pair of black eyes full of, intelligence and roguishness sparkle, while the sweet little coral lips are parted by a merry smile. The low-cut pink " r ‘ (Continued dh page 4.) Admiral Sir John Fisher, the First Sea Lord of the Admiralty, on behalf of the First Lord of the Admiralty Lord Tweedmouth, addressed a letter to the Observer, asking for the name of the writer of the articles on the fleet which appeared in that newspaper on the 2nd instant, and further en quiring what documents had been at the writer’s disposal. Admiral Fisher expressed the hope that the Observer would give the required information as he, the Admiral, assumed that the writer of the articles disclosed secret and strictly confidential facts which were improperly obtained, and very precisely published private consultations and de cisions. The Editor of the Observer replied that he had himself written the articles and that they were not based on official communications but on data that were accessible to any one interested in Naval questions. ATLANTIC PASSENGER RATES FIXED. According to an official statement the result of the recent Transatlantic steamship companies’ con ference in London is as follows: For a term of three years the companies agree to charge the same cabin rates all the year round; only the Canadian lines are exempt from this condition, and these, in order to compensate for geographical dis advantages, retain the privilege of reducing their rates by 30 shillings during the season. First, second and steerage fares are, speaking generally, brought up to the standard at which they stood prior to the last rate war. Fares for the two giant Cunarders “Mauretania” and “Lusitania” are higher than for those of other steamers. The companies have com municated the fact of this arrangement to all their representatives. It further transpires that first class fares on the “Mauretania” and “Lusitania” are fixed at £25.15 s., second class at £12.—. For the “Kronprinzessin Cecilie” and “Kaiser Wil helm II.,” first class £24.10 s., second clatss £12.—. For the “Kronprinz Wilhelm,” “Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse” and “Deutschland,” first class £ 24, second class £12.—. For the “Adriatic” and “America,” first class £ 22.15 s., second class £ 12. The fares by the remaining vessels vary between £21.10 s. and £20.10 s. for the first class, and £11 and £9 for the second class.

According to a telegram the New York American states that Mrs. Vanderbilt, the mother of Gladys, who recently married Count Szechenyi, will herself shortly marry Count Hadik, a Hungarian noble man. Mrs. Vanderbilt, the American adds, will thus be able to live near her daughter, an ar rangement which it is well known she has always ardently desired. Count Hadik was one of the guests at the recent wedding. We give this telegram for what it is worth, but considering the source from which the report emanates its authenticity is—to say the least— highly questionable. VOYAGE OF THE ATLANTIC FLEET. Latest reports to hand relative to the progress of the battleship squadron show that the ships left Punta Arenas on Friday for Callao, which port is expected to be reached on the 18th instant. At the urgent request of the Chilian Government Admiral Evans has changed the itinarary of the voyage and will touch at Valparaiso, after which he will inspect the cable communications of the Chilian coast. The visit to Valparaiso will be made the occasion of a great demonstration of welcome on the part of the inhabitants; 200,000 people will assemble on the waterfront and cheer the squadron as it arrives, while the ships in harbour will be gaily decked with bunting. Although the American warships are only expected to re main in Valparaiso harbour for an hour, it is stated that arrangements are being made to enter tain the officers and men with lavish hospitality.

However this may be, the be lief is unanimous in Washington diplomatic circles that Admiral Evans’ squadron will ! not be seen again in Atlantic waters for some considerable time. The enthusiasm displayed at all the South American ports visited by the fleet has lead to the supposition that in the event of war these states would place their sea forces at the disposal of the United States. Such assistance would be by no means inconsiderable, since Brazil alone has three “Dreadnoughts” building in England, which could easily be completed ready for sea by the end of ihe present year. THE PORTUGUESE TRAGEDY. Lisbon, February 9. Some 10,000 people filed past the bodies of the late King and Crown Prince as they lay in the church of St. Vincent. There were no unusual incidents in connection with the ceremony. RAILWAY OUTRAGE IN BELGIUM. A Brussels telegram states that through a de liberate act of malice the 7 o’clock passenger train from Spaa was derailed on the Landen line near the village of Wamant, and was hurled over the embankment. The engineer was killed and three other train men were fatally injured; two passengers received severe injuries. The wreckage caught fire but the flames were quickly extinguished. The investigation into the catastrophe shows that the rails had been previously-torn up for a stretch of 100 yards. The implements which had been used by the wreckers were subsequently found near the scene. The Royal Court Pharmacy. English and American Dispensary.

General d’Amade telegraphs that in consequence of the battle fought on the 6th inst. the Moroccan troops have returned in the direction of Mechracha. Mounted and foot soldiers from the mountains have also gone back to their several localities. All the wounded whose condition allowed it have been brought to Ber Reschid. ANOTHER BALLOON ESCAPES. The balloon “Tschudi,” belonging to the German Aeronautical Union, which was being prepared on Sunday for an ascent from the estate of the Tegel Gas Company, broke loose and escaped from the ground. The Sport Committee of the German Airship Society has decided that the balloon race for the Gordon-Bennett Cup shall take place on October 11th next. It was further decided to arrange two other races for the preceding evening of this date, which will be open to balloons of the society. American Bar Lila HOHe. Scheflel Strasse 32.

Advices from Washington with regard to the foreign political situation are more optimistic in tone, and it is confidently stated that all questions likely to develop hostile feeling with Japan have i been satisfactorily settled,—for the moment. Japan clearly perceives that m face of the American fleet’s voyage the present time is not propitious for rais The following very interesting article appears in the Globe over the signature of Max Pemberton, the famous English author. The story of Kron stadt has been dramatised and was produced at the Garrick Theatre, London, last Saturday night: “There are few novels written, I suppose, of which the first idea is more than a line in a note book. Turning old and tattered pages, I find a note in a shabby book which must have come from a stationer’s shop more than fifteen years ago. To others the reference would be vague enough, for the line speaks merely of a fortress and of a possible story concerning it. To me, it was the foundation stone of the story which will be told again at the Garrick Theatre this evening. “Vladivostock—a woman—the .plans” So the words run. Reading one |day of the considerable sums earned by an Englishman who was clever enough to obtain a plan of Vladivostock,. I asked why other plans of other forts ‘should not be ob tained as cleverly—but chiefly why a woman should not be tpe instrument. Here I believed I had found the corner stone of a novel. The story of Vladi vostock showed clearly that memory was almost the only capital that other spy possessed. By memory he made/a chart of the deep; sea channels. Memory measured the ramparts and the guns. A (Continued on page 3.) At 612.
