New York. May 27.—Advices from

BREACH OF CONTRACT.
Signor Biondi Sues New York Metro-
politan Museum.
New York May 27.—Signor Ernesto
Biondi it is reported has instructed
his attorney to bring an action for
breach of contract against the trus-
tees of the Metropolitan Museum of
Art in reference to his group entitled
"Saturnalia ”
According to Signor Biondi the
Metropolitan Museum of Art con-
tracted to place his "Saturnalia" on
exhibition for a year. It was in
stalled in the new cast wing of the
museum but the National Scul|.ture
Society of New York or certain of its
member* decided that it was not
good art but an offense to public mo-
rality. and protested against its ac
ceptance by the museum Signor
Biondi declares that bo received an
offer of (1000 as compensation for the
lion-exhibition of the bronze which he
indignantly refused.
He asserts that the only redress he
seeks is the exhibition of the Satin-
iiblß. which was awarded the Grand
Prix at the Paris exposition of 1900.
and of which a replica has been pur
chased by the Italian government and
placed in the national gallery in

WALL STREET DEPRESSED.
Over 2000 Clerks and Office Employe*
Dismissed.
New York. May 27.—Wa1l street is
having such a period of business de-
pression as it has not experienced in
several >ears. and one result of it is
that hundreds of clerks have been
dismissed.
One of the largest operators on the
stock exchasge says he believes that
no less than 2000 clerks and other
employes have been dismissed by the
brokerage and banking houses in the
last two weeks.
The firm of J P. Morgan A Co.
was among the first to reduce its
working force. Others followed suit in
rapid succession. One firm has sent
notices to all of its force of clerks and
stenographers informing them that
they must either accept a 20 per cent
cut In salaries or take vacation with'-
put pay.
