with a fare that was tremendous at the
bottom. The tight-ftting bodice of
white satin was colored with plain
white .mousseline de sole. a fichu OF
embroidered mousseline de sole dotted
with pearls was draped around the low
round neck in soft folds, with knot
and long ends at the centre. Just over
the arms the fichu was gathered in a
full ruffle that gave the effect of short,

I, is said Mrs. Logan has a spacious

and she has under her chaperonage
some charming American girls.
MRS. LOGAN'S HEIRESSES.
Being all heiresses, or young ladies of

and copied as if they were princesses
born; for what MS. Logan's girls do"
has long been equal TO a manual of ETH
Quette Their dresses. those OF them
who have visited Paris, for | am told
the party does occasionally separate,
were very beautiful. There was an air
of more than good breeding about a
shopping drSss l saw upon one. The
dress was in two parts. waist and skirt.
The waist. a shepherds plaid. crossed
in front to makea full. long waist. The
fringe Of the plaid fell low ever the
skirt. The skirt was m dull green. and
its lining was Of plaid silk. Very
tasteful. l thought this, as sugge sting
great richness without showing il.
A dress that was being made at
ROuff's for one Of these heiresses rep
resented a small fortune, but then the
chance of being presented at court dur
ing the coronation isn't an everyday
occurrence, and ones gowns have TO be
extraordinarily rich and original TO
claim any sort of eminence among so
much elegance. The skirt of this gown
was of heavy white satin with swirls

for embossed discs. The centres of the
discs were studded with amethysts.
There were seven cores in the skirt that
were very narrow at the top and fared
very much towards the bottom of the
skirt. The fitness stood out in heavy
regular folds that had TO be cut around
the bottom in decided Scallops to pre-
serve an evenness N the hang Of the
skirt.
The bodice was of the embossed satin
with great reVerS of white satin stud
ded with stars and amethysts. \ broad
belt of amethyst velvet that tapered
very much at the waist showed between
the revers. And the short pulled sleeves
we're also of the amethyst velvet.
Around the waist was a narrow belt Of
amethyst velvet with long loops AID a
diamond buckle at the side.
Il is marvellous to see the rare gems
that have been turned over to the coUt-
uriereS TO be worked into the court
gowns. One necklace of six strands of
pearls were being sewed on 10 de-
sign on white satin that was TO serve
as a vest for the gown Of a dOwager
duchess.

The court mantle that / saw was

of the palest green silk.
The Duchess of Connaught's gown is
of white duchesse satin trimmed with

In a letter that I saw from Russia the
other day there was description of a
diplomatic dinner, and among the nine
ladies present, seven OF them were
Americans.
They were gOrg5JuSlv dressed N Oro-
cades and jewel Sudden gowns and
they bore themselves with royal grace.
American women 10 not overdress
any more. OF that l can assure you.
You should hear Her Grace This ana
Her Grace That asking for
gown precisely like Thiss or
of our own country women to wear at
court dinner, was covered down the
front with conch pearls in purest pink.
A seeded effect was given it. The
conches were sewed upon pink satin
precisely the same color, or woven into
it in one of the mysterious court
weaves. and positively the only relief TO
this lovely gown was the inky black
hair Of the wearer whose complexion is
like milk. How | should love to see
her when she makes her bow TO the
Czarina and that lady lifts her matter
Of-fact German-English eyes TO the
melting blue ones of this beauty, whose
blood with a touch of the Emerald Isle
in it, gave her blue eyes under black
lashes and black hair.
The Czarina is looking forward very
eagerly to meeting Americans whose
language is her own, and whose tastes
are one with hers.
l note very little "fummery' upon
dresses. That is, upon new ones. Old
ones need fiummery to cover up seams
and soils. But the new can lie forth in
lovely plainness.

NEW TELEGRAPH LINES.
The Postal Has Already Established
 Its Office at Ash Fork

Yesterday the Postal Telegraph company "cut in" at Ash Fork and es- tablished that point as an office upon its line with regular operator in the office of the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoe- nix. A large amount of new material was also dumped at that point yester- day and the work of running a copper wire southward is at once to be com menced, though the present wiring will be made to serve for the time.
 The Western Union is also on the alert. It has material at Ash Fork also and will at once commence con- struction southward from Ash Fork.
 As an earnest of prompt work on the part of the Western Union, there yesterday appeared in Phoenix D. R. Davies, superintendent of construc- tion for the Pacific coast, of the com pany. He spent the day in consulta- tion with the railroad officials in re- gard to transportation of material to the needful points along the line from Maricopa to this point and in the even ing left for Maricopa, where active work will be begun today. For more detailed information MT Davies re- ferred The Republican reporter to Frank James, superintendent of the Pacific coast division of the Western Union who will be in the city within a few days, but stated that several carloads of construction material had already been shipped from San Fran cisco to Maricopa and Ash Fork and that no grass would grow under the feet of the builders.
 Wednesday morning the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix Telegraph com pany and the Arizona Telegraph com pany retire, the Postal Telegraph com pany succeeding to the franchises of the former, and the Western Union to all the property and privileges of the latter. Little change other than the s,tringing an additional wire upon the poles need be made on the northern line. From Maricopa at present loop lne will be run in, using for l'ie pres ent the old poles of the ra,,road line, strengthening where needed zny weak places.

WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA Murders of the Wild
 Matabeles. Natives Defeated in Sharp
 Engagement. The English Residents Are Concen- trating Into the Larger
 Border Towns.

CAP TOWN, March 2S.-A dispatch from Bulawayo today announced that Frederick CeEous, the explorer, who left that town yesterday at the head of volunteers and police, has engaged the enemy, killing a large number. Five troopers were killed
 The prompt action of the authorities had a good effect upon the rebel.fous Matabeles, who did not expect to be attacked so soon.
 The Matabeles set fire to a large store about forty miles from BulaWayo and executed the medicine dance about the flames.
 Transport riders are abandoning their wagons in all directions and hur- rying into the towns. Many fiendish murders have been reported. The set tiers are terror stricken, have aban- doned their homes and are encamped in lagers, waiting to be rescued by mounted police and volunteers. 9th CTS have placed their houses in a state for defense, determined to fight until assistance reaches them.

THE ADAMS HOTEL.
Arrangements for Its Construction
 Are About Perfected.

Yesterday were consummased ar engagements whereby the construction of the projected Adams hotel has be- come assured. Three lots, opposite the Gooding building, on the north east corner of Center and Adams street, have been secured, constituting without doubt the most attractive and central site to be found in the city On the property are now bu. a small brick office building and an adobe residence both of which can easily be cleared away.
 The plans for the structure have not as yet been perfected, but enough is known to state that the three lots, 150x1371A, will be covered with brick, stone and iron ed ifice of four or five stories high, erected at a cost that will approach $50, ,000 The ground floor will be given over to the hotel offices and to business stores, while the balance of the building will be utilized as hotel of the very finest class, with every improvement and convenience.
 The prospects are that the local me chanics will be kept busy on improve ments of importance this summer in the vicinity of Center and Adams. Brick is now being hauled for the Syndicate" building on the site of the old Chinatown, First and Adams, and on the other side at First avenue and Adams, ground is being broken on two corners for two handsome business blocks, both of which, it is understood 11ava hann .a1rnadv rentad Tho arohi tectural designs are uniform for the highest class of structures, and soon the city will not be excelled in this re- gard by any other city of its size on the coast.

THE ELKS BANQUET.
An Affair That Gave Highest Enjoy
 ment to Those Assembled.

The installation and banquet of the Elks Friday night was dual event long to be remembered by those for tunate enough ito be in attendance. The work of the lodge room continued till after midnight and the yells that fioated down from the top of the Moni- hon building indicated that the pro- cess of budding horns was a painful one, though not necessarily so ito the lord high e1ecutioners. At the last moment, owing to the enforced ab- sence of several of the elected officers, a change had ito be made in the list of those installed, the roster of officials now standing: Exalted ruler, Dr. J. M. Ford; leading knight, c. F. Mor- rell; loytl knight, J. E. Teeters; lec- turing knight, Vic Hanny; treasurer, L. J. Wood; tyler, Selim Nicholson; secretary, Mark Heissman.
 The Prescott visitors were of the jol- Hest, and around the banquet table,

of Boston, who arrived on the morn ing train with his wife to note the at fractions of Phoenix and of its valley. They were shown the environs of Phoenix yesterday under the guidance of old Denver friends of Mrs. Ray mond, General and Miss Sampson, and expressed themselves delighted at their new insight as to rural and pro ductive Arizona. Mrs. Raymond, who as Miss Hattie Lewis of Denver, was known as one of the most promising of western sopranos, has been pre- vailed upon to sing a solo at the morn fng services of the Methodist church at Gardiner's hall.
 The name of MT. Raymond is one of National fame, and his visit to Phoenix is most welcome one, for none more than himself lis more thoroughly identified with the movement of pop ulation from the crowded east to the west. The firm of Raymond & Whit comb it was that sent the first flyer" express train across the continent and their excursions pass almost every day along the trunk lines of the west MT. Raymond personally may be con- sidered the greatest of American hotel
 men, having immense hostelrieS at a half dozen points. The Raymond hotel that burned last year at Pasa- | dena, California, was his property. His life appears to be devoted to the l care of the tourist and of the Invalid
 and it is to be hoped that his remem-
 brance of Phoenix may remain of the pleasantest.

Goldwalter of Prescott made a brief address eloquent and appropriate in the highest degree. Obedient to the dictation of Toast master Ford almost every attendant spake as the spirit moved him and dull care was buried to an almost fatal depth.
 Already the members of the Phoenix lodge are talking of a fraternal visit to Prescott and from the Prescott brethren have come all assurances of the heartiest reception.
