NEW FRENCH EMBROIDERIES.

Some of the most beautiful French
embroideries seen this year, as deli
cate as though worked by hand. have
horderings resembling in design many
of the exquisite patterns of honiton,
Venetian work or Irish point. These
devices are wrought upon sheer India
muslin. and are designed for flOunce,
skirt frills and edgings, with insertions
to match. and narrower patterns for
bodices and sleeves. Another useful
and beautiful material is solid en-
broidered French organdie about
ward wide. These are Swiss goods and
show patterns in lattice work, Flemish
point and dotted surfaces. sprinkled
with floral designs all in white. These
also have corresponding edgings and
insertions. The fabric is used for
waists. boleros. yokes, vest fronts, large
sailor collars to wear with linen dresses
and for trimming children's summer
waists and skirts.

Five Hundred Fishermen Drowned

Victoria, B. c., June 9.-Meagre par
ticulars were brought by the Empress
of Japan of a disaster which befell the
fishermen of the husan archipelago,
off the coast Of China. On May 6th,
when all, or at least most of the fish
ing boats were out on the fishing banks,
a terrible gale sprang up. OF the sew
eral hundred boats out at the time,
very few returned and it is estimated
hat some five hundred men lost their
lives. The storm was one Of those sud-
den ones for which the coast Of China
is noted and the fishermen had no
chance to seek shelter. Their life boats
were smashed to atoms and they were
left to fight a hopeless battle with the
mercileSS waves.
The storm swept over the entire
ArhipelagO, which extends across the
mouth Of HanchOW bay, on the east
ern coast of China. Several large junks
were lost, in which scores persisted.

Four Condemned Murderers Respited by
the President.

Washington, March 23.-President
Mckinley this morning granted re-
spite to four men who were to have
been hanged at noon today at Santa
Fe, N NJ A telegram directing stay
of execution for ten days, to enable the
president to examine the case, was
sent to the United States marshal
there. This was the first opportunity
of exercising clemency presented to
the president since he entered the
White house. The condemned men are
Francisco Gonzales, Antonio Gonzales,
Lauriane Elonid and Patricio Valencis.
They were convicted Of the murder Of
Franco Cravez. President Cleveland
gave them a respite Of two months,
which expired today. flood Of tele-
grams for and against a further respite
has descended on the White house
within the past few days. 1t is claimed
that the case has a political bearing.
Santa Fe, N. H, March 23.-A ten
days reprieve for the four Borrego as
sassins was received by wire from At
torney General McKenna this morning,
one hour before the time OF execution
1t created considerable excitement. The
attorney general stated that the re-
prieve was made necessary by the
pressure of business, which has pre-
vented that consideration which the
president deems necessary in view of
its gravity, and. in order to save any
question Of jurisdiction, Governor
Thornton was also requested to grant
a like reprieve. This was done forth
with. The news of the reprieve was
telephoned to the penitent tiary where
the prisoners are confined just as the
sheriff and cavalry were about to start
for the gallows with the prisoners.
