 Nrw YORK, Oct. l4.-The arrest of Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Field, tho wives of the abseonding American bankers of London-who did business under the name of Field & Compromises to be- come one of international importance, in which Congress and probably the President may be called upon to act.
 The women have been under arrest for two days and during the morn ing were taken before Judge Barrett on writs of habeAs corpus, and were discharged. The two ladies with their counsel then left the court room, but as soon as they reached the corridor Mrs. Miller was gently touched on the shoulder by United States Marshal Bernhardt and informed that she was again under arrest, this time at the instance of the British Consul, and that she must so before CommiasioneE Shields.
 When she appeared before the Com missioner she wAs informed that shs was accused of having stolen money to the amount of e, 900 In her possession. and was told not to say anything but to let her counsel talk.
 Mir. Howe, her counsel, then made . strong appeal in her behalf. He wanted to know what could be more arbitrary and outrageous than the arrest of an American citizen on cablegram stating that on 'informAtion and belief" the prisoner was guilty. He asked for the discharge of his client.
 Mir. Fox, of MArbury & Fox, who rep resented the British counsel, asked that the prisoner be held for two weeks, ol until the proper extradition papers and warrants arrived. The Commissionsi supported Mir. Fox, and regretted the fact that he could not let the prisoner out on bail, neither would Mir. Fox allow her to depart in the custody of Mir, Howe.

THE Hartford Times states as a fact that the republican managers have de- cided to colonize Connecticut with negroes, for the purpose of carrying the state for their party in 1899. The plan is to run in 2,500 of them and scatter them around amongst the party workers to be taken care of and made voters.
 Politics of this nature are reprehensible, aud if such a scheme is attempted it should be rebuked at the polls, and we hope it will be, by all respectable voters.

THE need of bill clerk. and an accu- rate one too, has been illustrated in Maryland, where the last legislature passed bill which provides that no man can vote if he has been absent from the state day during the six months imme- diately prior to the election. It is evi- dent that the framers of the statute had no such result as this in mind when they prepared it for adoption, but the unfor- tunate predicament into which many residents of the state are now plunged is not helped by any legislative innocence of intention. If a man has even made e brief trip out of the state, seither for business or for pleasure, during the past few months, he will be unable to vote this fall, unless some scheme is devised to remedy the situation. It is proposed to have. the law declared unconstitution- al, but as nothing definite in this di- rection has as yet been effected, it looks as though many voters might be justly deprived of their suffrage in November, and simply because of careless expres- sion in wording law.

ALREADY there is talk about the prob able increase in smuggling under the Mckinley bill. Such result would not be at all surprising. The high duties are an unusual incentive to evasion, for in escaping their payment there is profit that will abundantly pay for the risk. Thus the bill. itself fraud upon the people, will be the direct cause of fraud in others. The rigorous provisions of the law are no excuse for its violation. inasmuch as it is the law, but there is still sort of retributive justice in some of the people cheating unrightous legis- lation that is cheating the whole people.

Cushions seem to be the perennial de-
light of the average woman. This is an
age of cushions. and her soul rejoices in
them. The saddle bag cushions still ex-
list and are likely to, as they have hap
PLY solved the tidy" problem. Those
wretched things. abhorred by mankind,
are gone, it is hoped, never I o return.
But having hung the saddle bags over
the backs of our chairs, there must still
be cushions galore for window seats,
couches, corners, to fit in uncomfortable
angles-cushions unlimited and of every
variety. The melon cushion looks rather
pretty il it is well made. but the acorn
cushion is newer and is being shown at
the art shops. This, which is of curse
many times the size of its forest proto-
type. has the acorn of pale green silk
anu tno cup or darker green, which IS
put on rather full and sewed down in
spots to give the raised. uneven look Of
nature.
Another pretty combination of the
acorn is reddish brown plush and pale
yellow silk. A loop Is sewed for the stem
to take hold by. These well defined
shapes, however, cannot be recommend
ed as satisfactory for general wear.
Plain, square, oblong, oval or round
cushions last longer in every way, and
n be so different in material and deco
ration as to supply the needed variety.
White silk cushions wrought in gold
embroidery are used in very dainty
apartments, but their dehcacy hardly
fits them for cushion service. 80 Elk

their poodles decked with Grape it
