THE Minnesota outbreak confirms
the Western belief that the only reli-
ably good Indian is a dead one. The
Pillager band of 5rhippewas seem, in

be feared. They have taken to civiliza-

THE President is very weary of the
constant promises of the Spaniards to
hasten the evacuation of Porto Rico
and Cuba, while taking very slow steps
in that direction. 1t is apparent to
every one that the occupation of the
islands and their offices is entirely too
profitable to the Spanish officers, from
Blanco down, to have them relinquish it
until they are actually crowded out.
The President is determined to begin
the crowding at once. The Commits
sioners have been instructed to demand
full possession of Porto Rico on the 9Th
of this month-next Tuesday-and the
demand will be enforced. American
troops will begin moving into Cuba OF,
Oct. q, and by Dec. l every part OF
the island will be under American con-
troll, with the American Flag flying
from every custom-house and munich
pal building, and American officials
collecting the taxes and administering
the Government. If the Spanish off
cials and army are not ready to leave

ADMIRAL DEWEY has sent the Peace
Commission the fullest information on

and they will be ,..ore impressed by what
he says than by anything else. 1t is
believed that he has modes,ly refrained
from making any recommendations as TO
how much Of the Philippines should be
retained, but has said that it is essential
for the possession of Manila that Subig
Bay be kept, which is the key to the
whole naval situation in the archipelago.

FRENCH papers are even more unrell-
able as to news than French clocks are
as to time, but they are all insisting now
that the American Commissioners are,
with the exception Of Senator Gray,
solid for holding the whole of the
Philippines that this solidarity has been
brought about by the communication
made by Gen. Merritt Of his and
Admiral Dewey's views, and that, after
much vain protestation, and many dis
patches to Madrid, the Spanish Commits
soners have conceded the fact that they
are the vanquished party, and must pay
the price of defeat. This price relates
mostly to the Philippines Cuba and
Porto Rico were hopelessly gone before
the Commission met. The French
papers say that the Spaniards are now
willing to concedenIhe City of Manila
and the whole Of Lnzon Island, on con-
dition that thes Americans assume the

$40, 100000, bit thht the Americans in

a Daughter Of the Revolution.

Mrs. Fannie Glenn Stewart, widow of
the late Judge James Erskine Stewart, of
Luray, is one of the few surviving genu-
inc daughters of the Revolution. Her
father, Captain James W. Glenn, of
'Glenn Burnie," near Shepherdstowu,
w. Va, was one of the most conspicuous
figures in the colonial history of the VAL
ley of Virginia. Capt Glenn was at six
teen the bearer of important dispatches
for the commanders n-ch,ef during tie
Revolution, and held three military com
missions prior to 1900. Mrs. Stewart has
just received handsome photographs of
two of these commissions,-one signed by
General Washington in 1892 and the 9th.
er signed by John Knox, Secretary of
War, bearing date - 1898. The
parchment originals of these interesting
papers are kept in the family of Capt,
Jas w. Glenn, Jr., of Charles Town

FASHION AND FABRIC.

White toilets of the daintiest description
will be the rage next season.
All shades of blue are fashionable, from
the deepest flower de-luce dyes to the
faintest forgetInenot tints.
The old fashioned princess shaped un-
derslip is very much in fashion this year,
cut with a rounded or square shaped half
low neck and short sleeves.
Not only docs the graceful princess dress
appear among gowns from Paris formed
of satin, brocade and crisp corded silks,
but in supple taffetas, silk veilings, mus
Inns, nets and cropes de chine.
The blouse effect remains on the imme.
diate front of many bodices, but blouses
entire have given place to closely fitted
waists with almost seamless backs, deeply
curved under arm seams and an effect OF
a waist very closely fitted
Open mesh or semitransparent fabrics
are the materials used in making some of
the handsomest and most fashionable
gowns for the coming season. Frequently
these dresses are mounted over founda-
tions of figured instead of patterned silk
or satin.
Half worn silk or satin waists can be
very easily and effectively freshened by the
addition of shirred blouse front formed
OF plain or sequined net and arranged over
an underblouse of colored silk or satin.
Five-eighths of a yard each of the satin
and net will make tho blouse front.
Soft gray tulle, orange velvet in two
distinct shades, spray of mignonette,
cluster of Mermet roses, two large stand.
ing ostrich plumes of orange color shading
to white on tho tips, and buckle of very
brilliant Irish diamonds compose mod
ell for a dress hat made by French artist.
Lace in some form or other will be used
upon nearly all dressy summer toilets. IT
the silk gown, for instance, is trimmed
with rows of narrow velvet ribbon, there
will be a guimpe or yoke of fancy lace,
and if the bodice is merely plain open
jacket, beneath will be worn blouse of
net or of plain silk, trimmed with lace
