elbow, while Grape epaulets fall over the
puff that forms the upper part of the sleeve.
Grape Is still the orthodox material for
mourning, although it is so unserviceable
stuff. Woolen Grape aud crepons henriet-
tn, serge, camel's hair and all dull finished
black cloths are employed, while some
beautiful black silk crepons are shown
among the new spring goods, having a mar
row plain silk stripe, or a silk stripe with
sort Of rutfled effect, or tho goods, instead
OF being striped, are sprinkled with plain
silk fecks. For warm weather grenadine,
nuns yelling and plain black silk net may
also be used. Ample wells Of the latter are
far better for summer wear than the suffo-
eating Grape cnes and are quite as complete
mourning
The custom of wearing black lisse or
tulle ruchings next the neck and wrists is
one to be followed with caution, as the dye
is usually not fast In those materials and is
apt to come of upon the skin under the in
fluence of warmth or dampness. A fold of
dull china silk or plating Of silk net Is u
safer finish to adopt

cealed by cloth collar continued down the

arc novel as well as good. A capacious
wall pocket, showing a design Of wild
roses, offers a suggestion for truly artistic
objects that are seryiceRble at the same

tached a sort of lambrequ'n composed of
leather gimp, held in place by ornamental
hails, but it would be quite as good aud
quite as useful without the addition. The
cost Of the completed object is big one,
bVt the leather can be obtSined from the
wholesale dealers for very moderate sum,
and the work of making Is usually not
great at all. Indeed, II one does not care
to undertake Even so much, It still Is econ

DA CANA PUTS TO SEA.
The Rebel Leader Succeeds In
Getting Out of Rio Bay.
HIS DESTINATION IS UNKNOWN.

It Is Conjectursd, However, That He
Insurgents Who Ara stri In Armed
Opposition to the Government.
RIO JANEIRo, March 19-Judging from
the course of events here IL is thought by
impartial observers that the Portuguese
government does not intend to honor the
request made upon 1t for the surrender of
Admiral da Cana, who WINS lately in COM
mand of the insurgent fleet before this
city. Admiral da Cana took refuge on
the Portuguese corvette Mindello when
the insurrection here collapsed. President
PeiXoto demanded that the admiral and
the officers who were with him be deliv-
cred into his hands The Portuguese min
lister declined to order the commander of
the Mindello to surrender the fugitives,
and President Peixoto appealed, it is snid,
to the Portuguese government to instruct
its minister TO order the surrender of tho
insurBent officers. Whether u reply has
been received TO this request or not cannot
be definitely stated, but yesterday after
noon tho Mindello and the Albuquerque,
another Portuguese warship having on
board Admiral da CANA and seventy of
his officers, put TO sea.
1t had been thought in some quarters
that If the vessels attempted to leave the
bay with the fugitives Oh board trouble
would ensuc There was not, however
the slightest opposition made to their de
pnrture, and, as matter of fact, trouble
arising from this source was never prob
able.
The destination of the warships Is not
known. 1t is conjcctured that they will
go south to Montevideo, and land the in
strgent officers there. If they are landed
at Montevideo they can easily, If they are
so disposed, join the Insurgents in the
states of Sac Paulo and Rio Grande do
Sui, who are still in armed opposition TO
the government.
The fact that Admiral da CANA and his
officers have succeeded in getting ont of
the bay is a matter of great rejoicing
among their friends in this city There is
no doubt in the minds of anybody that
had the admiral been surrendered to the
government his trial by drum head court
martial would have quickly followed
There could have been only one result of
trial of this kinda sentence of death.

THE COLONEL'S Side.
Breckenridge Intends to Hold the
Stand for Three Days.
RUMoRED DIVORCE PROCEEDINGS.

II the Report That Mrs. BreckinrIdge In
tends to Institute Such Proceedings
Against Her Husband be True the Fact
Is Unknown to Her Relatives.
WASHINGTON, March 19.-The legal com
plications and moral side issues of the
Breckenridge case gradually coming to
light as the trial progresses increase the
public interest here in Washington, where
the Kentucky orator Is best known, and
make it the most sensational scandal ever
reviewed in the criminal courts here.
Curiosity is rampant among lawyers as
TO the line of defense which the array of
i've able lawyers retained by the congress-
man have marked out for him. For a
time after the revelation of the secret mar
riage of Colonel Breckenridge to Mrs
Wing, on April 20, was made public, it
was the general opinion that this circum-
stance would form the basis of the de-
fcnse, but the attorneys for Mr.. BYeekin-
ridge have intimatcd to the contrary.
Even had they not said so, it is fact
that all the promises of marriage alleged
by Miss Pollard to have been made to her.
except the statements in the presence Of
Major Moore, were before the date of the
olandestine marriage. Moreover, II seems
" pc eStHDilSuru ny pfcpOnuerunce OF
the authorities that the promise to marry
made by married man furnishes ground
for breach of promise action in case It is
accepted in good faith by the other party
who is ignorant of his legal disability to
fulfill the contract.
The mystery of the defense will bs
solved in a few days however, for it is the
present intention to place Colonel Breek-
inrilge on the witness stand as the first
witness in his own behalf The cr0ss-ex-
animation of Miss Pollard will copsume
two days more, when Colonel Bfeckin-
ridge will 20 on the stand for three days.
LOUISVILLE, March 19.--lf Mrs Breckin-
ridge intends institutiug divorce proceed

ridges brother, is at present in Florida for
his health, but Mrs. Campbell Scott and
other members of the family are in the

'THBWEEK IN CONGRESS-
Outline Of the Business to be Dis
posed Of This Week.
THE CONTESTED ELECTION GASES.

Thoy VIII Follow After tho sundry Civil
Appropriation BIii Is Disposed Of
Which wiz Probably be Done Tonight,
and Arc Likely to Occupy the Week.
WASHINGTON, March 19.-As soon as the
sundry civil appropriation bill Is disposed
of, which will probably be done tonight.
the house will take up the four contested
election cases which are psnding-the
O'Neill-Joy ease, from the Eleventh Mis-
souri, district; the Williams-Settle case,
from the Fifth North Carolinn; the En-
gltsh-Hilborn case, from the Third Cali
fornia, and Whatley- Cobb case, from the
Fifth AlabBma.
The O'Neill-Joy and English IIilborn
cases, which were both decided against
the sitting members (Rep) by strict party
yotes in the committee on elections, are
the most important and will require the
major portion of the time In both these
sases the result Of tho election in Novem-
Der, 1899, was exceedingly close, There
were two counts in the ONeill-Joy cleo
hon, the recount giving Joy (Rep.) sixty
seven plurality. O'Ncill being beaten on
the face of the returns, he instituted the
contest on the ground that the Missouri
election law had not been complied with,
II having been shown that some Of the
Joy ballots had not been numbered and in
Nialed as required by that law.
English's contest rested on the cluim
shat in one precinct the returns had been
manipulated beyond doubt and his attor-
neys charged that while Hilborn was not
responsible for he had been the beneficiary
OF that manipulation At the close of he
case Hilborn's attorneys still claimed his
election by one vote but the Democrats Of
the committee decided in favor Of English.
In the Willams-Settle case the contest
ant alleged that the sitting member had
been elected by the bulldozing and inti-
initiation of negro voters by the Rcpubli-
cans, but most of the Democrats of the
committee refused to sustain his election.
Mr.. Woodward IN. C.), however, dis
sented from the decision of his colleagues.
In the Whatley-Cobb case the commit
Tee unanimously decided against the con-
testant, who was a Populist, and his case
