Wool DresSes.


Wool dresses are more durable, more
manageable and every way more salts
factory than those of silk, and while
the latter material has attractions for
people of limited means, the wool dress
with handsome trimming will still oc-
cupy large share Of the attention of
well dressed and fastidious women.
Indeed, it may be said that in this par
ticular, the position of silk and wool are
to be somewhat reversed. In old times
a silk dress was the ambition and hope
of the woman or girl with slender
bank account. Now, when elegant
woolen materials are much more ex-
pensive than really good silks, the tastes
of persons of limited income can be
gratified by silken fabrics, while the
wool costume with the expensive trim
ming which often accompanies it will
be the special fancy of the wealthy.
There is in addition much to indicate
the popularity of fine black wooden
materials. Ladies have grown weary
of faded stripes and streaks in their
light tinted apparel, and are for out of
door wear at least, turning to very dark
colors and black.
Black Henrietta cloth, fine camel's
hair and a fair sprinkling of black silk
will, it is said, be the leading materials
for street wear for the coming season.
There are some shades of tan which do
not fade badly, and these will be used
for tailor costumes and semidressy
wear. Navy blue, the various shades Of
green, gray, heliotrope, dull pink, cardi-
nal and yellow will be popular colors.-

HOW TO TREAT CHINA.
A Venerable American Missionary Civ,
His Views on tho Subject.

A Venerable American Missionary Gives
His Views on the Subject.
WARRINGTON, May IA. - Secretary
Blaine has received letter from DR.. D.
J. Mackgowan, for many years an Amer
lean missionary in China, under date
Of Shanghai, March 3lst, upon the sub
ject OF Chinese immigration. He pleads,
in extenuation of his taking it upon
himself to interfere in the matter, the
fact that he is the senior American resi-
dent in China. He says China does not
desire to see the United States flooded
by her proletariat, as China herself pos
sesses vast regions inviting immigra-
ton. Moreover, Cinnamon returning
are lees easily controlled by the man
darinate.
He says China has right to demand
to be treated as an equal, and self-re-
spect, duty to the people and the posi-
tion she desires to maintain among the
civilized nations, impose upon her the
necessity OF contending for reciprocal
concessions.
As solution OF the difficulty, Mack
gowan suggests that the relations which
now exist might be connected by an i'm
migration reciprocity treaty, fixing the
number of citizens of each state to be
admitted to reside in the other.
He says Americans in China do not
apprehend such reprisals as they have
heard about, yet they are solicitous that
the land in which they reside should
feel that ite honor is not impugned by
their country, and that citizens and Off
cial, secular and missionary, with un-
precedented unanimity concur in the
view expressed.

CALIFORNIA CROPS.
A Gratifying Improvement in Fruit,
Grapes and Grain.

A Gratifying Improvement in Fruit,
Grapes and Grain.
SACRAMENTO, May 14.-The monthly
crop report Of the State Agricultural
society shows a gratifying improvement
in fruits, grapes and grain. The late
rains did thousands of dollars worth Of
good in the San Joaquin valley and in
Monterey and San Luis Obispo counties.
Frost somewhat shortened the berry
crop and prunes. Most all other crops
will make an average yield. Late rains
and high winds have injured beans in
Santa Barbara and Ventura counties,
and much ground will require replant-
ing.
The past weeks weather conditions,
rainfall, temperature and sunshine,
have advanced the crop condition most
favorably. and the cool weather pre-
vented rust from taking an injurious
hold upon the great wheat belt Of Cali
fornia.

A SIGHT FOR THE PORTLANDERs.

The Arrival OF the B Baltimore and
CharlestOn-yiewed by Thousands.
PORTLAND, Ore, May 14.-At 8 O'Clock
this morning the First regiment of the
Oregon national guard and Battery A
marched down to the river, followed by
thousands of people, who covered the
wharf and steel bridge. At 10:45 the
Baltimore was sighted rounding the
bend in the river. This was the signal
Tor cheering, which was redoubled when
the Charleston was seen seen to follow
few minutes behind. The cruisers
steamed along slowly and passed
through the draw of the Pacific steel
bridge, amidst the blowing of whistles,
booming of cannon and cheers of the
multitude. At the foot of G street the
Baltimore dropped anchor. The Charles
ton anchored block below. The cruis-
ers will probably remain here for sev-
eral weeks.

SAN Francisco, May 14.-A Washing
ton special Gays: Senator FELTON, has
succeeded in inducing the senate COM
mittee on commerce to increase the ap-
preparation for the inner harbor at San
Pedro to the full amount of $51, 900.
The committee also provides for board
of five engineers to make new examin-
tion OF the harbors of San Pedro and
Santa Monica. California Jared we'll in
the senate committee report. Not a
single California item was changed, ex-
cept San Pedro, which was altered for
its good. The bill as reported is only a
million and quarter larger than it
came from the house. This compare
lively small increase will probably be
agreed to by the house, as it was ex-
pected that ten or twelve millions
would be added. OF the amount added
Oregon and Washington get 100000.

To Calm the Waters.

An ingenious invention, with the OBJ
ject of lessening the force of waves, and
to supersede the old fashion of floating
oil, has been exhibited at the Paris head
quarters of the Central Society for the
Saving of Life in Shipwrecks. It is pro-
posed to cover the surface of the ses
around an endangered vessel with a thin
cotton OF sill1en net, rendered unsub-
mersible and ever floating by being
dipped in special chemical prepara-
ton. The idea is due to the fact that
when crossing the track of the Gulf
stream it has been noticed that the vast
spreading fields of floating seaweed
within the confines Of the stream, though
upheaved by the swell, remain CLASSY
and smooth. The net acts in the same
manner as the seaweed. Some expert
ments have already been carried out at
