GENERAL FOREIGN TOPICS

LONDON, February IA dispatch to the
Times from Paris says that some of the
Russian ENJOYS have received Instructions
as to the attitude which Russia, England
and France, and through Russia's interven-
ton, the United States, intend to take ON
the questions raised by the war between
China and Japan. According to the Times
correspondent it has been decided that the
eventual intervention of these powers at
the proper moment shall be absolutely dis
interested.
China will be asked in her own interests,
as well as in those Of the civilized world,
to open her ports, seeing that the present
system has led to China's powerlessness
and ruin. The powers will wait until
China admits herself vanquished and sim
cerely negotiates for peace. 1t will then
be pointed out to Japan that Europe can
not allow her to annex an inch or the
Chinese mainland.
But the same impossibility does not ex-
ist In regard to other anneXations, Whlch
will be open to discussion. There. will be
no Intervention concerning vessels, arms
and other booty nor as to the war indem-
nifty. This question must be settled be-
tween the combatants.
No objection will be raised to japan re-
tanning certain positions as pledges of pay
ment.
But no commercial stipulations to the
disadvantage of the powers will be per-
mitted. The whole world is to profit by
any opening of ports or liberty to pene-
trate into the interior of China.
Finally, the powers will insist that the
Chinese currency in future is to be on the
European system in order to facilitate the
new foreign loan to which China will be
obliged to resort.
Chinese Holding Out.
YOKOHAMA, February Am official
dispatch received here from Wei-Hai-Wei,
dated February 3, says:
1.-THE flying squadron today bombarded
the forts, which, assisted by the Chinese
war ships, resisted obstinately. Admiral
Ting, the Chinese naval commander, is de-
termined to hold the forts on Li-Kuang-
Tao Island and the ships under his COM
mand. Another attack by torpedo boats
will be made tonight

The Black Crepon Skirt.

From the Philadelphia Times.
One of the leading features of the sea-
sons fashions is the black crepon skirt,
which appears on all occasions, at all hours
and has completely usurped the place Of
the black MORE so popular last year. 1t is
an elaborate example of crinkling in pat
tern and a work of art in the way it is cut
and hung, but it is usually devoid of all
trimming, and always the smart thing to
wear for a morning call or a swell recep-
ton, being equally suitable for maid and
matron. She has only to live up TO fash
ions privileges in the way of variations in
the bodice. which has become such a con-
tinual experiment in unique and striking
combinations, and an apparently extensive
wardrobe is accomplished with one skirt.

Original Wedding Notice.

From Tid-Bits.
In Germany it is customary for young
couples, when they become engaged, to
announce the momentous event to the
world by simple advertisement in the
newspapers. Hans Meyer and Crete
Schmidt are "verlobt,'' and that is usually
the whole story. popular Viennese &C
tress, however, has been moved TO infuse
not a little originality into the public an
nouncement of her matrimonial projects.
The notice runs thus:
II hereby desire to inform all my friends
and acquaintances that l am on the eve
of appearing in a new role, which | have
never hitherto ventured to assume. The
play is entitled Marriage The part of
first gentleman has been intrusted to Mr..
-. 1t is upon his Interpretation that the
fate Of the piece will depend. According
as he may wish, it will be either n comedy
. or a tragedy. In any case, however, it will
not degenerate into a farce, for we are
both of us sincere and serious. Moreover,
all my married friends assure me that
there is really nothing in Marriage to
laugh about"

Three United States characteristics.

From the New York Sun.
cit used to be said of American ships,
said traveller, that they could be dis
tinguished among other shipping In foreign
ports as far as they could be seen, by the
lightness and grace of their spars, ample
for any service, but without superfuous,
numbering weight. 1t is said that the bag
gage of a New Yorker in foreign parts can
be distinguished in like manner; he carries
the best looking trunks, and his trunks
combine also lightness and strength; light
ness. strength and sightiness being char
acteristics of good American trunks and
travelling bags, just as of other American
productions"
