FEMININE FASHIONS.
Fresh Additions to the summer,Coa-
tunes.

Fresh Additions 10 the Summer Co.'S
tunes.
Trimmed skirts increase in favor as
the season advances.
Mousseline brilliante is n new gauzy
textile much used by Raudnitz, Beers
and Paquin for draping evening toilets.
it has a very silky surface, and is re-
markaAy dainty and beautiful
Most of the new tucked evening
gowns of gauzy material have rows OF
handsome Venetian lace insertion on
bodice and skirt. Other toilets are made
with Gainsborough fichus Of 'tulle or
mousseline de oie'crossed over the cor
sage, passed under the arms, and tied at
the back.
Accordion-plaited skirts of black silk
grenadine, canvas tulle, black Swiss
muslin dotted in silk, fancy French and
Russian nets, and similar diaphanous
teXtiles,are made up over gored founda-
tions of brilliant Turkish red or golden
yellow satin. Portions of the bodice
and sleeves are likewise plated and
finished with elegant decorations in cut
jet.
Gros de Tours is one of the popular
silks this summer and has soft fin
ished corded surface, slightly heavier
in quality than taffeta. but less glossy.
1t is used in the pale tintsfor evening
toilets, and in browns, grays and
greens for church, visiting, etc. Some
of the grounds are striped with satin
in bronze or black, then figured with
small leaves or flowers or quaint old
fashioned figures. These patterns make
charming fancy waists.
For cool and pretty gowns-qualities
that in the eyes of the majority nova
days lose nothing by the additional
fact that they are inexpensive-noth-
ing is better than the sheer delicate all
wool delaines trimmed with ribbon in
any of the thousand and one ways APP
proved by fashion. No more dainty
gowns could be desired at the seashore
or in the mountains, for while com
Portable and dressy at the same time,
they resist dampness and wear as no
sort of white or light cotton gown can.
| Elderly women can suitably wear
delaines in dark colors for morning
dress. The material is not suitable for
afternoon dress. In lighter combina-
tions of color, however, delaine hand
somely trimmed with lace or ribbon
leaves little to be desired on the score OF
/ smartness.-N. Y. Post.

TO BAR ANARCHISTS.
Commissioner Powderly Warns
Officials Against Them.
INSPECTION OF ALL ARRIVALS.
It Is Stated, However, That There Is No
Law Under Which They Can BE Ex-
cluded. Anarchy Is Not De-
ciared to BE Crime.

Washington. Aug. 14-Commissioner
PowderIy of the immigration bureau
has sent the following letter Of instruc-
tions to immigration officials at New
York, Boston. Philadelphia, Baltimore

archists:
Information has reached this bureau
10 the effect that one Planas. leader
OF the Spanish anarchists, has been ex-
PEELED from France. being conducted to
Havre. from which port II is expected
he will sail to the United States. I am
also advised that Tarfda Marmol. an
other Spanish anarchist. has gone to
England and probably is en- route TO
this country. A careful inspection
should be made of arriving passengers.
in order that should any Of this class
be detected a careful examination can
be had as to their right of admission
into the United States under existing
laws"
1t is stated at the bureau Of immigra-
tion that there Is no law under which
persons can be excluded on the ground
that they are anarchists, nor Is an
archy anywhere declared TO be a crime,
so that If Planas and Marmol are re-
fused admission to the country the re-
fusal must be based solely upon the
fact that they come within the general
immigration law as to paupers, contract
laborers, criminals, etc This law ex-
pressly provides, however, that moth
ing in this act shall be construed to ap-
ply to or to exclude persons convicted
Of a political offense. notwithstanding
said political offense may be designated
as a felony, crime. infamous crime, or
misdemeanor. involving moral turpi-
tude, by the laws Of the land whence he
came or by the courts convicting.

BEET SUGAR
Two More Plants Projected in Alame-
da County

OAKLAND, Aug. 22.-The manufac-
ture of beet sugar will be an important
dustry in Alameda and Contra Costa
counties during the coming year. Two
large plants will be put in operation
very shortly, one at Crockett, as an
nounced a few days ago, and the other
at Rodeo. The incorporators Of the
company that will operate these plants
with a capital of 81, 500, 900, are: A. w.
Starr, A. D. Starr, N. D. Rideout, Alfred
Bannister, Justice Greedy and Albert
Miller. Senator Perkins and George w.
McNear are interested in the corpora
ton.
The Rodeo plant OF the Union Stock
Yards company was never used for the
purpose originally intended The mag
nificent equipment, costing $1,000, 900, 1Ss
been standing idle for about five years.
The second plant Is Starr & Cos. -four
ing mill at Crockett. The flour ma
chinery will be taken out and replaced
by sugar refining apparatus. The ma
chinery for this mill has already been
ordered.
The company has already had agents
in the field interviewing farmers and
ranchers In Alameda, Contra Costa. So

FUEL FOR CRUISERS
Experiments Will Be Made With
Crude Petroleum

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-The secre-
tary of the navy has ordered Lieut.. Ma
than Sargent to proceed at once to the
Gil fields of Pennsylvania, where be will
make a careful investigation Of the va
rious grades of petroleum produced in
the region with a view to it's use for
fuel for marine engines. Upon the con-
clusion of this work he will report to
the authorities in charge of the Newport
torpedo station and plans will be drawn
up for an oil engine which will be placed
in one OF the new torpedo boats now be-
ing built by the Herreshoffs. This will
be the first attempt to use oil as fuel
for the torpedo fleet, but from the success
which has been attained by this motive
force in swift steam launches owned by
private parties both here and abroad, the
navy department looks very favorably
upon the experiment. Some Of the ad-
vantages expected from the new fuel are
economy OF machine space and conse-
quently greater fuel carrying capacity,
economy in the cost of fuel and the abil-
ity to develop extremely high steam
pressure under forced draught. The plans
for the new engine are not yet laid and
will depend largely on the report on the
various grades of petroleum at COM
mand. 1t is possible that with this in
novation in fuel will come the use of
steam turbine engines, whose success in
the English torpedo boat Turbina has
marked a decided epoch in the develop
ment Of those fleet destroyers abroad.

THE LONDON MARKET
Lively Politics Tends to Dizziness of
Business

LONDON. Aug. 22.-Money is abund-
ant, although rates rose sharply at the
beginning of last week on the expecta-
ton of the withdrawal of gold from the
United States. The quick response of the
continental exchanges indicate that If
the United States wants gold the conti-
nent is ready to supply it, and as conse-
quence rates eased off again. Silver
is fairly steady at 24d per ounce, owing
to the Indian demand. Only small
business has been done during the last
few days, the disturbed condition of pol
itics in India and in Turkey and the un-
settled condition of Wall street tending
There was slight Improvement at the
end of the week under strength of bet
ter news from India. Consols, Indian
loans and home rails improved slightly,
but there was no advance in the Amer
lean section, where the business still
continues very small, though 1t is hoped
the rise in wheat will furnish FLIP later
on. The following show a fall for the
week: st. Paul, 1B; Norfolk preferred

from Il to u. Grand Trunks are some

ever, follow Wall street prices. All lines
of stocks are severely affected by the fall
in silver. Mining securities are dull and
depressed.
