SEATTLE, WASH, May 15.-A resident

Alaska in which the writer says that pas
sengers on other boats bound for that To-
cality saw what appeared to be the
schooner Lincoln, which with twenty -one
passengers and a crew of four was reported
lost, well iammed in the ice near the head
of Cooks Inlet. While these persons feel
certain the Lincoln was the vessel sighted
yet suspicious circumstance is that the
schooner upon leaving here in Decem Der

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 15.-The
nomination of John Fowler of Massa-

at Chefoo, China, apparently has nothing
TO do with the recent Russo English trouble

effect July /, and is simply transfer of
Mr.. Fowler from Ningpo, where he has
been for some time, to Chefoo.

4 QUTEr COMMENCEMENT.

This is very quiet Commencement compared with most of the recent Yale Commencements. There have been fewer fireworks than usual, less public shouting and singing and fewer public evidences of the spirit that has at some Commencements been so conspicuous and powerful as to almost be entitled to be proudly called the Yale spirit. It is to be hoped that this Commence ment marks the beginning of a new era" Quiet and reasonable Commence ments are much more consistent with the true idea of education than noisy, polsterous and unduly spirited Com mencements. It is not fitting that the steps of Battell chapel should be used as a stand for a Commencement beer keg. They have not been so used this year. and many other things have been omitted from the exercises which can well be spared. We congratulate both the University and the people in the center of the city who like to sleen nights on the unusually peaceable char acter ot the present Commencement.

The chief need for a railroad just now is, however, military and political The Congo State and France are both at tempting to advance into the British sphere" in the Upper Nile valley and a railroad will enable the British to an- ticipate them, Some months ago eX- petitions under British officers went from Uganda into Ungoro and cleared out Kabarega, who has been hostile to the British. Several years ago British officers descended the Nile from Uganda to within short distance of the derVish outposts, It is not unlike ly that British posts have been estab- lished by this time on the river to fore stall the Belgians and French. As a means of reaching Uganda and occu- pying the Upper Nile effectively the Mombasa and Uganda railroad will be extremely convenient. And by and by it will pay,

Some of these Democrats are hopefnt fellows. For instance, some of them nave even encouraged themselves to hope that the tariff for deficit would in time enable the government to pay it's expenses for one consecutive month. And now we find some of them hoping that their party will escape the deadly embrace Of the silver flend. William c. Whitney is one of these hopers. This is the way he talks: I have by no means given up the hope that the na- tional convention will adopt sound money platform, and that the Demo- cratic party will win next fall. The outlook was quite as gloomy in 1876, when the Democrats carried the coun- try. At that time there was a green back craze as formidable as the pres ent free-silver craze, and when the New York Democrats went to the national convention to present the name of Mr. Tilden the outlook for a sound-money platform was as dark as it is now. The money question had not been discuss ed; the greenback falIacy was ram pant, and it looked as if the greenback element would control the convention But when the delegates got together the currency question was discussed, 8 good platform was adopted, and Tilden was nominated Before the convention Ohio was strong greenback State, yet Tilden came within 5000 votes of car rying it. Why should not the result of the Chicago convention be the same? When the Democrats get together there and talk over the financial question the situation may change, and a united Democracy on a sound money platform may go nto the campaign next month.
 While there's life there's hope. It's never too late to mend. Every dog has his day. Behind the clouds the sun is shining, Every cloud has a silver | lining. And so forth. These great truths should be hung up all around the Chicago convention hall Their fn- spiration will be needed by those in at- | tendance.

Paul, has unanimously endorsed the work of the conference, It was found that the change was necessary in order to keep the young people in the church. As one of the leaders in the movement said, English really introduces itself, and in city and country, in school, so- cial life business, there is no escaping 1t. "The church that builds on noth- ing but a foreign language in America is dying church, because the foreign languages are dying among the young, among those who constitute the ma terial of the church in the future"

That honest industry will get there" if it has half a chance is shown by what has been and is going on in Rus sia. In 1883 Russia established the Peasant bank, it's object being to assist the peasant in buying his own farm land, advancing him three -fourths of the purchase price and retaining lien upon the property till the payments upon it were completed. In ten years 2,5O0000 acres of land have been thus acquired by over 100000 peasant fam flies, and the beneficent work of the institution widens from year to year. while it's stability and resources are constantly increasing. A bank found- ed about the same time for the benefit of the nobility has worked the other way. They have made no new acquisi- tions of land, but, on the other hand, have mortgaged from sixty to seventy per cent. of that which they formerly possessed. The great landed estates there are in many cases undergoing a process of disintegration, the lands passing out of the possession of the nobles and into that of the peasants and the middle class.
 Is it better to be a decaying Russian noble than thriving Russian peasant?

for @ long time to come. If this were not so, skilled and enterprising design CTS would not be putting out bodices like the one pictured herewith, This was a light tan summer suiting and opened over a pleated vest of white chiffon that was confined by a wide corselet of taffeta. Applique embroi- dery ornamented the draped revers, chiffon rosettes Set off the shoulders and handsome cut steel buttons trimmed the loose fronts. The tiny basque was as jauntily rippled as it well could be, so the departure of the ripple basque seems far away.
 As we ordinarily follow the over sea modes in greater or less degree, other reports of fancies that prevail there are of interest. Velvet coats, the returning tourists say are worn with white mus lin skirts, and petticoats of colored lawn are taking the place of the silken skirt. No one thinks of wearing any thing but white silk for night dresses, and the women that make up their faces discard coloring, make them- selves white and then quite frankly paint the lips bright scarlet, A little stick of scarlet paint is carried and af- ter luncheon or dinner the red of the lips is removed. Hats are worn tipped down so far and neck chiffon and silk ruches so high that nothing much is seen of the wearer's face except the eyes. These are darkened about the upper lids, and the effect with the scar let lips is very poster-like Skirts I 1, i~I, se,, F. nice for summer muslins; indeed, few of the foreign fancies present sufficient attractions to warrant prophecy that they will survive an ocean voyage.

FASHION NOTES.
Homemade Styles Preferred.

 With the women whose wealth is so great that an articles cost is not con sderation, it has become the fashion in the past few years to take a spring trip to Europe. Of course there are very few of these favored ones, but few as they are they count for much in the matter of dress fashions since they are the ones that set the styles for later following by others Now some of these luxurious trippers are returning, and their reports of existing styles on the other side show that they differ markedly from domestic acceptances. For instance, they report that the rip pie back to coats and coat bodices is rapidly becoming a thing of the past in the foreign capitals yet here it is all the rage and is bound to be fashionable

ality, but not on the general condition
 of human nature. George Eliot has re-
 marked that there is no such solvent of sympathy, and even friendship, as diff ferent views about the nature of a joke. The late Cardinal McCabe, We
 are told in a recent biography, would
 shake with laughter at a man pursu- ing his hat blown off in high wind but would yawn over the trial scene in "Pickwick" or the duel in "The Ri vals." Some of my readers will have already pronounced me destitute of the
 most rudimentary conception of a joke I can only remind them that I have been inquiring, not what humor now stirs the readiest laughter, but what has in it elements which may seem tc promise that it will endure.-R. Y. Tyr | rell in Saturday Review.

The Abigail Adams chapter of the Daughters of the Revolution, of Quin- cy, Massachusetts, has erected a cairn on the top of Payne's hill in memory of Abigail Adams, the mother of Pres ident John Quincy Adams. It marks the spot where she, with her son, John Quincy Adams, then boy of seven, watched the smoke of burning Charles town and listened to the guns at the battle of Bunker Hill. The corner stone of the cairn was laid by Miss Ab- igail Adams, a daughter of John Quin- cy Adams and a great-great-gr daughter of Abigail Adams, to whose memory the cairn was erected. The cornerstone used for the cairn has Hn interesting history, being a section of one of the granite sleepers used in the first railroad in America, from Wsst Quincy to tide-water at Neponset, bsiit to transport the granite used for Btn- ker Hill monument.
