Extra Silk Waists.

China silk waists to wear with various
skirts are part of a lady's outfit for sum
mer. These, says Harper's Bazar, are
made with a coat skirt (Which is twelve
inches deep for women of average height)
sewed to the edge of round bodice under
belt ribbon of moire or velvet A pretty
waist to be worn with skirts of silk or of
cashmere is made of turquoise blue China
silk over a fitted lining, with the silk
gathered on the shoulders and Tapped to
the waist line in front and back alike. The
V spaces at the top are covered fatty with
piece lace-the white Irish lace that re-
sembies embroidery. A scantily gathered
frill, hemmed, and twelve inches deep, is
sewed to the edge OF the bodice, the joining
concealed by belt of black velvet ribbon
two inches wide, that is tied in loops and
ends in front. A high collar band is cover
ed with black velvet. The sleeves are
wrinkled their whole length, and have q
velvet band at the tapered wrists.
A lavender silk waist made in this way
is trimmed with yellow velvet ribbon, and
white waists have reseda, violet or yellow
ribbons. A red China silk waist is shirred
in front on thick cords, called cables; the
fronts are Tapped, and very short frilI of
the doubled silk is below a belt of black
moire ribbon. Black China silk or satin
surah waists are made in either of these
fashions. Striped washing silks and plaid
surahs in Scotch colors are made into very
simple waists, with shirt yoke, drawing
strings and shirt sleeves, or else with three
box plaits in front and back.

THE KANSAS QUARANTINE.

TOPEKA, Kan, April 10-The live stock
/ sanitary commissioners have completed
| their work, and the quarantine against
! Texas or Spanish fever is now in force.
! The quarantine line extends along the
southern border of Kansas to Kiowa coun-
| ty, and thence south to the 34th degree,
thence west to New Mexico There are
six inspectors stationed at Chetopa, Coffey-
vile, Wellington and Caldwell, three of
whom are under government employ but
under orders from the state commission
ers.
The regulations now in force are better
than ever before, although last year no
diseased cattle were brought into the state
except few that were smuggled in, and
they were quickly corraled. The railroad
companies are careful to observe the rules
and will not handle any cattle until after
a certificate has been issued by the in
spectOrs.
This was illustrated by the Memphis
line which company telegraphed one of
the commissioners that shipment of 200
head of Arkansas cattle had been offered
and desired to know what to do. The reply
was that Arkansas cattle could not be al
lowed in the state The shipment was re-
fused and the Missouri Pacific brought
some cattle from that state for Washing
ton county, but they were detained in
Kansas City, where there are six inspect
ors. The cattle were refused admission
into the state and the consignee received
their market value or what would have
been their market value, had they been
proper cattle for shipment, in money
While there is but little fever south the
commissioners believe they will make this
year the purchase of cattle as safe as if no
fever ever existed

THE COKE STRIKE,

SCoTTDALE, Pa. April 10-It is abso-
lutely certain that the coke strike will be
fought to the bitter end. This is the unan-
imous decision OF the strikers convention.
Seldom before has such general interest
been taken in convention, and crowds OF
strikers and cokers surrounded the
knights of Labor hall all the afternoon
TO learn the outcome. Secretary Parker
delivered his report reviewing the situa-
tion at length and criticlZiDg the operators
severely. The national officers were re-
ceived in a cordial manner by the dele
gates. The reports from the various
points were heard which were a unit of
sentiments to remain out until the oper-
ators seek a settlement with them.
National President Rae touched on the
eight hour day. He said that the miners
would join the coke region strikers on the
1st of May in this movement, and then it
would become national fight instead of
local one He also assured them all pos
sible financial.support. Resolutions were
unanimously passed that the Connells-

NEW YORK, April 10.-R. G.. Dun &, Co. s
Weekly Review of Trade says:
SIT cannot be said that the business Of
the country is expanding when there is a
decrease of nearly one-siXth within asingle
month in the output of pig iron. In near
ly all quarters the admitted slackening of
trade is attributed to many temporary
causes, but the state Of the iron trade can
not be thus explained, and while it may at
any time change for the better, it is at
present an unfavorable symptom. The
trade is very dull. Some southern fur
naces are weakening as to prices, and the
market for manufactured forms of iron
and steel shows no improvement. 1t is
said that the orders for rails placed this
year do not reach 100000 tons. Another
element which may prove of great, though
temporary, importance Is the decision of a
great body of miners to strike May l for
eight hours day. The other industries
show no material change.
Reports from the various centers of
trade are about the same as last week, but
recognize temporary slackening even more
generally, which Is attributed mainly TO
bad weather and the state of country
roads.
Speculation in bread stuffs halts,
though wheat is fraction higher. Corn
is three quarters lower, but oats half a
cent higher Pork is % cents higher, but
lard and hogs are shade lower. Coffee is
% of a cent lower, and cotton has de-
clined 1-1G. Raw sugar has advanced
1-16 under the very heavy demand
since the duty was removed, but refined
grades are unchanged as yet In general
the speculative markets are rather inert.
and the general average Of prices is now 2
per cent lower than it was two weeks ago
Exports are fairly maintained III the ag
gregate, but the movement of wheat,
-four and corn falls far below last years.
The money market here is quiet and
undisturbed, though at all eastern mar
kets there is more than the usual disposi-
tion to loan on call rather than on time.
At Boston there is considerable stringency
Philadelphia and Pittsburg are easy, bat
at Cleveland there is some pressure Gin
cinnati is a little close, and at Chicago
there is good demand at per cent At
other western points generally the money
markets are comparatively easy, and at
the south not materially changed. Col
lections are not, as a rule, quite satisfac
tory. owing to bad weather and bad coun-
try roads. But the treasury has again put
out about S3.000000 in week more than
it has taken in. and no signs appear of
heavy gold exports yet.
The business failures occurring
throughout the country during the last
seven days number 243, as compared with
total of 243 last week. For the CORE
spending week of last year the figures
were 209''
