CURlON'SSPEECH AT DELHI
Deplores Decadence of Indian
Native Arts.
LACK OF HOME SUPPORT
Delhi, Despatch -This was the sec-
ond day 0: tiro ceremonies of the
coronation durbar, at which King
Edward in to be proclahnol Emperor
of India. Lord Curzon, the Viceroy
of India, carried out the programme
for to -day by opening the Indian
Arte Exhihttion In the presence of
the Duke and Duchess of Connaught
and a brilliant gathering of native
princes.
Lord Curzon rondo a noteworthy
'speech on the decadence of Indian na-
tive arts Ile deplored that native
taste was declining, and that many
�
olorn models were deb,xeed. It was
the hone of arresting the prog-
ress of decay that the exhibition had
been organized. He appealed to na-
tive artists and their patrons to
study and imitate the beautiful spe-
cimens of the last collected at the
exhibition. They were witnessing
In India ono aspect of a process that
was going on throughout tho world,
wahas long ago had extlugulshet the
manual Industries or Great &Itwlu,
and was rapidly extingnlxlting those
of China and Japan. Nothing could
stole It, because It was Inevitable In
an age which wanted things cheap,
irol did not mind their being ugly;
which eared touch for comfort and
little for beauty, which, ever assert-
ing its own models, was seeking mane -
thing, new or strange. It wall cer-
tain that if many old Indian arts and
int ;liberalist were to be revived and
placed In at flourlxbing condition it
could only be done by the patt'on-
agd of the Indian chlefn, the aristo-
cracy- and cultured persons. But so
long as these preferred to fill their
piercer with flaming Bruxselx car-
pet, cheap Britleh furniture, Italian
Monica, French oleugrapbs, ,1tte-
trhut luetrex, and German brocades,
(hero wax not much hole. Lord
Curzon said that Ito did not ,,near
to eoeclally reproach the East In-
dies (or their pursuit of foreign
gentle Matters were Pet ns bad
ht Great Britain, but 'ho wished to
Impress upon his hearers that Sup-
port of native art trust como from
hullo. Outside patronage alone
could not support it. He was con-
vinced that In an artlxtle xrneo In-
dia was not dead. She could stilt
inmgino and create.
The art collection is the result of
at prolonged and careful research. It
includes priceless brocades, enamels,
gold and silver Plato, carpets woven
to order for moguls turd 'emperors,
Jewelry from the treasure houses of
Hindoo rajahs, and exquisite carv-
ings' in wood, marble and Ivory. One
oi' tho carpets In the tent of Gook -
war of Baroda is embroidered with
pearls, rubles, emeralds and dln-
nlonds. It cost sixty (skis of ru-
pees.

Weyard Banquet.
ALL. ENGLAND IS ALARMED
London, Jan. 5. -No patter how
Loudon may determine to throw off
the excitement of its C'Wintmas-
tide, cometldng extraordinary al-
ways trope up to keep people awake.
P111 year the excitement is over
oysters. The falai mayotal banquet
at 11am:heater has muted no end
of sensation. Toe post-mortems
which declared the death of many
peomitot victims to be due to ty-
pho.d from avvallowing dra;atsei rats
tors, fohowed by the death of the
Doan or 111ncueeter, also from hav-
ing tateu oysters, have had a most
uhaxtroan efte:t ou the Fmiish oya-
ter trade
Mr. Uat,n, one of the largest
wholesale oyster merchants In Eng -
hula, In an interview, stud toe stile

typhoid scare not occurred. 1 e'stt-
nstte r'•ut during the present oys-
ter set.,om this outbreak will cost
the trade about $500,000 worth of
business."
A corset feature, however, than
trio loss to the large morchauts will
be tee (ming oft In the employment
of those who gel their daily bread
In the oyster producing districts,
For leetatce, along the Kent and
Essex shores there trust be 500 or
600 men enteloyod on the oyster
Wein. The Wore means a shortage
to 500 or 600 families -several thou-
sand persons. The extent of the Ems -
worth's less is best set forth in the
foiowlu;g statement by Mr. Foster,
o.re o; tie largest merahanls in Lon-
don:
"in the week before ehrietmaswe
reckon to sell 100,1)00 oysters, but
what hats happened its that in the
week before the 'stare we sold from
:11,0011 to 40,000. On Monday, the day
previous to the first publication of
the typhoid outbreak, we told 5,-
000; on Tuesday the number was 3,-
000. Sine then we have ,tot disposed
of 1,001) a day. On Saturday wo did
not get rid of; a tingle oyster. On
Monday 60,000 art'Ived by smack.
They are melees. This week 50,000
more are due; they will bo useless.
I have at pr'esen't in the beds about
500,000 oyster's, valued at between
$5,000 and $10,000, but they cannot
be cold.
"Again, 1 bare oysters laid in
other farts 10 which no suspicion
attaches, but the present snare will
render their dI•posal exceedingly
