wide cuffs. An effort was made to increase
the size of the sleeves, but this idea Was
abandoned on account OF the extra full
ness being inconvenient under blazer
The tendency toward elaboratencSs IN
tailor made dresses is matter of r,sgret to
many who have relied upon plain costumes
of this sort for ordinary wear. 1t is scarce
ly to be expected TINT fashion will run
quite mad on this line, but there Is far
less simplicity than formerly in most of
the tailor suits that are shown In the resldy
made aSSortmentS.
Plaids arc more worn than ever In Paris
and are of all vnrictics-large and small,
heavy blacks and delicate lines. The colors
are bright, and these plaid weaves are
brought out in all the popular goods, the
newest thing being plaid crcpon. These are
liked for travelling and other hard service
rs ut the mountains or seashore. SergpS
with wide and narrow ribs, soft cheviots
and alpacas arr also among the fashionable
materials for these purposes. Alpaca, that
goods which vas last fashionable in our
mothers young days Is decidedly to the
front and Is made up into tailor costumes
which arc light and cool rs we'll as ex-
tromcly smart looking.
An Illustration Is given of Il travelling

skirt, which is rather short, is ornamentel
with stitched bands. The bodice Is a
blouse Of white mohair, over which Is worn
loose open jacket of serge trimmed with

of square tabs. A sailor hat is worn,

ANNEXATION or HAWAII
A Joint Resolution to That Effect
May BE introduced.
The People OF the Stands Satisfied;
To Come i'm ON the Basis of u
Territory ffirmation OF
Monroe Doctrine.

Washington, Nov. 15.-From hints
thrown out by the leaders of politica
parties strong probabilities seem to ex-
list that two important joint resolu-
tons will be offered Immediately after
the assembling OF the Fifty-fourth con-
gress. The first will be an affirmation
of the principles embodied in the Mon
roe doctrine, expressing in plain and
vigorous language the sympathy Of
American people with the government
Of Venezuela in it's boundary dispute
with Great Britain.
The second joint resolution, which ~
being prepared with much care, pro-
vides for the annexation or the
Hawaiian islands to the United States
under a territorial form OF government.
The case OF Texas is referred To as fur
nishing a precedent for Hawaii. 1T is
not the purpose of the Hawaiian people
~ ask for admission as a sovereign
state. They will be satisfied, 1t is said,
to remain under a territorial form OF
government. What they van Is pro.
lection against aggressions of other
countries and that sense Of security and
personal satisfaction which would re.
suit from becoming a part Of the great
North American republic. Annexation
would also, it is claimed, add greatly tc
their material prosperity, and aid large
ly In the development Of the islands
The white element in Hawaii Is prin@.
l|ally American and the administration
Of affairs is wholly in the hands of men
OF American birth. The remaining
whites who are not Americans favor an
nexation as heartily, with few excep.
lions. as those who are held TO this coun.
try by the ties of birth and parentage.

that both OF the journals In question are

due to the enormous rapidly with

RUSSIA'S FINANCES.
Car Getting Ready to Retire all
Paper Currency.

~
Washington, Nov. 15.-The announce
ment OF the intention OF the Russian
government to coin next yea 100, 900, 00O
roubles in gold and s25, 600. 900 in silver
in addition to the subsidiary coinage
has created considerable interest among
financiers because of the evident pur-
pose exhibited on the part of Russia OF
increasing her specie currency. While
Russia holds in coin and bullion be.
tween $500, 600, 900 and $500, 900, 600 Of gold.
she has recently coined very little OF
this, the total for the past four years
being $7.207,6 GA. For the same period hei
silver coinage amounted to $40, 626, 442
In 1894 the gold coinage amounted tc
SO, 225, 231 and the silver coinage to 2,5l5,
1872. Reducing the figures for 1896 tC
American money ii is now proposed to
coin $77, 900, 900 in gold and $40, $50, 900 In
silver In addition to the small coins.
1t is thought in some quarters that
the general purpose OF this increase is
to begin preparation for the redemption
Of the Russian paper, which is the prin'
cipal currency in circulation In the en-
pire. Last August the imperial bank
held sS29. 900, 900 in paper.
II is also considered probable that ir
increasing her silver coinage as she Il,
doing Russia is preparing to extend hei
trade in the silver using countries of the
east, principally China, Japan ano
Corea. To put this purpose in execution
it will be necessary for Russia to go out
side of her own country to secure silver
Russia annually mines less than $500, 00(
worth OF the white metal. and as her
laws prohibit the importation of foreign
silver coins and the minting of silver
for private parties 1t is probable that
the stock in the country has not in.
reased since 1899, when 1t was only Q
little yer 81 600, 900.

MIGHT NOT CONFIRM HIM.
Senate's Attitude Toward Secretary
CarlisIe's Promotion TO the Bench.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE trend Of
opinion here still points to Secretary
Carlisle as the successor Of the late JUS
tice Jackson on the supreme court
bench. The belief prevails in admins
treasury department and limited at by
those who have very close relations with
members Of the cabinet. Mr.. Carlisle
still maintains outwardly an Indifferent
attitude, and will neither confirm nor
deny any of the floating rumors.
The probability Of his appointment be-
Ing accepted here, the question has
arisen whether or not he could be con
irmed by the senate. There is some
doubt expressed regarding his confirma-
ton. Mr.. Carlisle has made many bit.
ter enemies among the democrats Of the
senate since he has beer secretary of the
treasury. German, Gibson and Black.
burn are three democrats who are
named as being likely to oppose his con.
firmation. Then, the further question
Is asked. will the republican senators
consent to the confirmation Of any man
nominated by Mr.. Cleveland until after
the result of the presidential election Of
next year is ascertained. 1t Is known
that the republican senators have al
ways been sorry that they confirmed
Chief Justice Fuller. He was confirmed
In 1888, during the campaign for the pres
idency. The republican senators say
that IL they a postponed considera
ton Of Fuller's confirmation until after
the elections Of 1883, a democratic CHIEF
justice would not now be on the bench
But, while undoubtedly Secretary Car.
Isle has made some enemies among the
democrats, it is equally certain that sew.
eral of the republicans hold him In the
highest esteem and respect. and II Is prob.
able. taking all in all, that IL the presi
dent should nominate him, his confirma
ton by the senate would follow.

MINISTER TERRELL DEFENDED
Letter From DIR. Dwight, Chief OF
Missionaries I'm Turkey.

Washington, Nov. 15.-The ~slanderers
of Hon. A. w. Terrell. United States
minister to Turkey, received a hard slap
from one In authority to administer II.
The secretary of state has received a let
ter from Rev. H.. o. Dwight, the CHER
of the American missionaries In the
Turkish domains. Mr.. Dwight Is spe-
cially charged with watching over the
interests OF American missions. and MS
letter was prepared without the knowi-
edge OF Mr.. Terrell. Ii was prepared for
publication as an act OF justice to the
United States minister In order to ex-
plain certain mlsapprehensions and mis-
statement in regard to his course. IL
Is dated at Constantinople, October 70.
and in II Mr.. Dwight says that from In
innate knowledge of Mr.. Terrelfs action
n behalf OF missionaries and Of his SEN
.lments and desires respecting the pro-
lection OF the persons and rights OF
American citizens in Turkey, he a say
that the general allegatio of careless
ness in the matter OF protection rests on
no foundation whatever; that Mr.. Ter
rell consults himself (Mr. Dwight and
Mr.. Peet freely in every important crisis,
and that he has shown great Willingness
w ~ w hbtAi -. -
the specific allegation OF a decision or an
intention to surrender the principle OF
the i~nviolability OF domicile Mr.. Dwight
says:
Il have no hesitation In saying from
personal knowledge that Mr.. Terrell has
carried on his heart a burden that per-
nitted no escape and allowed no rest
tnxiety for the safety OF American citi-
tens in Turkey during all the dangerous
'i~clssitudes OF the present year. He has
used for this end all the means which
have suggested themselves TO his mind.
and has labored to make effective the
measures which have been adopted. In
my own mind there IS not the shadow
Of a doubt. for instance, that the main
tenance Of the Bitlis station during the
fiery trials OF the past year. the ex-
emption OF some of Its members person.
ally from molestation and perhaps the
preservation Of their lives, have been
due. under the providence OF God, 10 the
repeated sustained and vigorous action
OF Mr. Terrell at the sublime porte. II
Is known TO all that the United States
government strenuously forbids its rep
resentative from interfering in any way
in behalf Of the Ottoman subjects, no
matter how strongly Humanitarian con-
s~iderations might seem TO require such
interference. But, In every case where
an Armenian naturalized citizen has
been molested. Mr.. Terrell has interfered
sharply TO prevent punishment on sus-
picion OF connecting with revolutionary
schemes men who cannot be proved 10
have violated any law"

Sioux Falls, S. D., Nov. 16.-Threc
hen, Graves, Clemmens n Druitt, are

cry of the p~ostoffice at Hills. Mimi,
nd at Sherman, :. .. The detectives
we're certain they had the right men but
re much nOnplussed by a letter re-
eived by the late mai last night by the
Argus-Leader. The letter was mailed
n the 14th in Missouri but at what town
an not be d~eciphered, the postmark be-
ng incomplete. The officers are In
lined to think the letter Is what 1t pro-
esses to be, as all the details appear to
IL correct. 1t is as follows:
Editor Argus-Leader: | want to ask
on TO help an innocent man, seeing In
our paper thai there are three men ar
ested for hurglariz.ng the Hills, Mimi,
,ostofice, also the Sherman postoffice
nd the Illinois Central depot. They
ave got the wrong men in custody for
sc done the work, and to prove to you
nd the public | will tell you how we
lone it. In the Sherman postoflice we
ntered the front door of the store.
here was two dogs there-a little one
nd a big one. We let the little n out
ma shut the big one up in the back
Dom and put a sic hole in the front
'oor of the safe and blowed it off. Mis-
Judging the strength of the powder we
roke the glass out Of the windows. We
got but SIS; went TO the hardware store
rom there and got scarce away. In the
Ills p~ostoflice we entered the side win
low in the tin shop and put a 5-l6th
!ole in the side: ii did not work; put one
n the front which did not get through.
Put another in the front, blowed the
loor off and got about $35-one $40 gold
liece. The next night we entered the
ide window Of the Illinois Central de-
rot, moved the safe away from the wall,
Dut a 5-16th hole in the front door of the
afe and blowed it off. We got nothing.
Piled several sacks of sugar in front
4 Il and broke some Of them open. This
hould convince the public that we are
he party hat done that work. If you
viii have the kindness to give this letter
o those mems attorneys, if they have
my, and also to let the public know
Ibout it you will be doing a favor TO
men that is innocent OF this crime. You
nay wonder what prompted me to do

O suffer for my work.
The letter, OF course, is rot signed. 1t
S thought here that the writer is a

Types OF Theology" to Rev. y. A. Nor
dell OF Boston. A paper was also read
on the same subject 10y Prof. Milton o..

opened with a discussion on The Rela-
ton OF the State to the Semi-Public
Corporations and Their Employees,
among the speakers being Hon. Thomas
f. Barkworth Of Jackson, Mich. ana
Prof. Albion w. Small OF the University
of Chicago. There was also an infor-
NAL discussion OF the proposition sub
mitted by the Chinese government TO
the protestant bodies of the world, look
ing to the establishment OF a protector
ate over the various missionary stations
In that country. II was pointed out.
however. that. in connection with this
proposition. there is a series OF condi-

more Independent OF the clergy. whc
fear the celestial bureaucracy. IL IL
probable that the present gathering Will
appoint a committee TO investigate the
subject and prepare a report. Printed
copies Of the secretary's report, which
were distributed today. show that the
Baptists of the north now have upwards
OF 5000, the south over 1900, and col.
ored about $4,000 churches. The word
church" however, includes organiza
tens, and therefore II is no meant thaf
a separate church building exists In
every case. The value OF the church
property OF the Baptists OF the north
pov amounts to more than $50, 600, 600.
The south with far more Baptists has
but $40. 900. 900 OF church property. n
the colo. ed church a trifie more thar

United States is 3.795 800.
