WHAT THEY WEAR.

Apple green Is the latest French color
Prophecy says that yellow will he the most
fashionable color this spring
The pretty textiles called Neapoitan silk
crep2hnes are very popuiiuly worn for dane
ing toilets.
The new, elegant aud expensive sash rib
bons are made into fichus that cover the
waist and shoulders almost entirely.
Jaunty costumes imported Tor the first
warm days are OF Suede coored homeSjnn
or of canvas. with full skirt and an outside
coat
Cloth jackets imported for early spring
days are of plain, plaid or striped cloths in
higher colors than usually worn for
wraps
Striped wool jerseys with sailor blouse
front, fitted back, and deep sailor collar are
pretty neslige corsages for wearing out
partly worn skirts.
Long raslans for travelling cloaks are made
of striped and plaid cheviots, homespuns and
serges of very rough surface in gray, tobacco
brown and copper colotS.
Some of the elaborate French gloves are
embroidered on the backs with gold or silver
thread in designs of fleur de lis and some
times with the monogram of the wearer.
Most of the spring jerseys have the sleeves
slightly full ut the wristband, and some are
tucked at top and bottom, while others are
shirred around to match the shirred yoke of
the bodice
Cashmeres in the grayish green reseda
shades, made up with darker green cashmere,
or else draped over the copper red Bengaline,
are prepared for afternoon toilets for the
early spring months
On the new bonnets all the trimmings are
lowered, though they are by no means flat.
But the towering pointed bows of last year
have given place to soft, wide loops, put on
to give broader effect.
Double br tasted corsages are becoming too
long for slender figures as they have the eff
feet of making them appear shorter in the
waist. Irregular arrangements are preferred
for double breasted bodices
A new idea for bridesmaids is the use of
very fine, soft, cream velveteen, trimmed
with otter. The skirt falls in easy, graceful
folds, and the material is soft as doeskin
The bodices are arranged so that the fur
crosses IN front
A novelty is the Tosca mantle made very
short in the back, but very hong in front, and
almost covered with lace and jet; this is
worn with the Tosca hat, with long, project
ing front of brim, short, close back and nod
ding ostrich plumes.
Braiding has by no means had its day of
favor as a trimming on jackets, and is done
with both metal and mohair braids. some Of
which are fiat and others tubular, while the
twisted cords of silk or Of metal are used in
most elaborate designs, hitherto done only in
soutache braid

TARIFF REDUCTION THE ISSUE.

MIR. Scott Says the Democracy Must Go
Before the Country or hat Issue.
WASHINGTON, March 19.-Mr. Scott, of
Pennsylvania, is quoted by The Sunday
Herald as saying that the tariff bill
"enunciates the principles Of our party,
and sets forth Its platform. If we have
not enough strength in the house to pass
this measure in some form, and make q
reduction in the revenue OF the govern,
ment, the only thing we can do is to dc
the very best we eaa, and then go before
the country on our record. If I had con-
suited the interests OF my own locality,
and not looked beyond my district, /
would have antagonized Che free-wool
proposition, but without free-wool there
is no use in having tariff feform. This
wool question has been the bone
of contention for many years, and
1T was thought to make it . Of the
principal features of shs present tariff
bill. The Republicans will do evsrytbing
they can to delay q final vote dn the tar
if until after oyf convention, On June 8.
We, on the other hand, will try to pass
the measure in some form as early in
May rs possible, so as to give the senate
time to tackle it. We will then take &C
tion in the convention on the party's
work on the tariff. Mr.. Randall, with
his Republican protectionists, may be
able to repeat his tactics of last session,
but | don't think he would dare delay
final action on the BILL,

THE ~BADEAU-GRANT SUIT.
WHAT COL. FRED HAS TO SAY or
THE MATTER.

Gen. Badcau Contracted to Do the Drudg-
cry on Grants Memoirs, but His Vault
ing Ambition O'erIeapt Itself In the
Jump to Authorship.
NEw.ceK, March 19.-The suit brought
by Gen. Adam Badeau against Mrs.
Grant for service claimed to have been
rendered in the preparation of Gen.
Grants memoirs, has awakened consid-
cradle interest. Col. Fred Grant said:
Gen Badeau was employed by my
father to come to the house and act as an
amanuensis. His work was to copy, or
correct, matter written by my father, and
| prepare it for the printer. He was also
to correct the proofs, and do work of that
kind. An agreement was made to give
Gen. Badeau o certain amount, not to ex-
coed $4,000, if he would do the work
and attend to all the drudgery until the
work was completed. My father also
thought that he might die before the
completion of the memoirs, and that Gen.
Badeau, in conjunction with myself,
would finish them. Gen. Badeau had
previously, as everybody knows, pub
hshed a part of his military history of
Gen. Grant. All the material for that
history had been furnished him by my
father, and, of course, to a GER
tain extent, my fathers work might
limit the sale of Gen. Radeau's work, one
part of which wa published in 1868, and
two volumes in 1881. My father, In aid-
ing Gen. Badeau, had revised all accounts
of various battles, and had corrected the
maps. Some time after Gen. Badeau
came to our house he wrote a letter COM
planning bitterly of the fact that his
work was the merest kind of drudgery,
and asking that he be allowed compense-
tion at the rate of 81, 600 a month. His
letter was impairment, and his claim ex-
travagant in the extreme. Upon its re-
ceipt my father dismissed Gen. Badeau
from his employ, and from that time on
had no relation with him whatever.
His claims are simply preposterous and
we know them to be untrue. For the
work that he did as amanuensis we are
willing; and always have been, to give
him reasonable Compensation. He claims,
however, that he assisted in the compost
ton of the memoirs Of my father, and
suggested much of the matter contained
in them. This / know to be absolutely
untrue, and l have ia my poseesseesion
letters from Gen. Badeau in which he
cetfesses that he had nothing to do with
the writing of the memoirs.n
While Gen. Grant vas preparing his
memoirs, and while he was in his sick
room In his house in ~sixty-sixth street,
the subject of joint authorship with Gen.
Grant was suggested by Badeau. Grant
was very III that day. He listened to
what Badeau sdtd eagerly, and then
turned to him and r%epfoached him saw
agely for tngratitnde. Col. Fred Grant
sided with his father and the discussion
became animated. What actually trans
PRED only Col. Grant, Badeau, and one
other person know. Col. GRAFT refused
to say one word on the subject, but it
was said at the time that he asked Ba-
deau to leave his fathers room and the
| house.

dent of the Union Pacific has issued the
following order, making Mr.. Thos. l..
Kimball acting general manager of that
road:
I Heads of Departments and All
Concerned: Until otherwise ordered, Mr..
Thomas l.. Kimball will assume the du-
ties of general manager of this ompan
with the title of acting general manager,
with headquarters at Omaha, Neb. Re-
ports heretofore made to the general

was a foot deep. The foreign princes
who were here to attend the faneral of
the late emperor went to Charlottenburg
to bid farewell to the emperor and ems
press. The empress received all of them,
but the emperor gave audience 10 only q
few. Prince Bismarck had an Interview
with the Prince of Wales just previous
to the latter's departure. Preparations
are makingto receive Prince Bismarck at
FREDERICKSBURG, where he will go next
week. Emperor Frederick has decided
to send ENJOYS to all European ourts an
| nouncing his accession to the throne.
BERLIN, March 19.-Emperor Fred
erick's dependency has been very much
increased by his change of residence from
San Reno to Berlin, aud his condition ia
this as well as other respects, causes great
anxiety. He speaks occasionally, but his
voice is so thick and his pronunciation Of
the yowels so imperfect, that only his
constant attendants are enabled to under
stand him.
1t is stated that the marriage of the
emperor's son Prince Henry, of Prussia,
to Princess Irene, of Hessc-Darmstadt,
which was to take place during the
month of May, Has been postponed for
six months on account Of the death of
| Emperor William.
The Il-feeling aroused by the installa-
tion of Or. Mackehzie, III the palace, has
in no degree abated. The doctor ventures
no further from the palace than the sur
rounding gardens, and in taking his
walks within these limits he is followed,
at the desire of the empress, by two de-
tectiyes.
