selection-whitc-sat brocade with a
gold thread running through it. Satin
IN the paler shades of blue also makes
up effectively, but as it is a softer ma
terial than brocade the skirt should
be much fuller.
Collars are high, Medici in shape,
and often lined with the fur used to
trim the garment.
A pale gray brocade, lined with sill
yer, makes most exquisite garment.
1t has a fitted back and is trimmed
with deep 1ounces of lace over the
shoulders, these fiounces finishing in
tabots at each side OF the back that
fall to the feet. Light-gray silver fox
crosses the shoulders and finishes the
high collar. The collar is further
adorned with four stiff loops at the
back-two above and two beneath.
Yet the greatest charm about new
opera cloaks lies in their lining, which
is made of a full fall of chiffon. 1t
may match the cloak or not, according
to fancy. It forms an inner garment
OF great daintiness, that is wonderfully
bewitching in its effect-The Latest.

There is an old rose challie that is
figured in little roselike designs in a
deeper shade Of pink This makes a
very charming pattern for a house
gown, because it is cheerful and bright
when the weather is dark and stormy.
A French modiste who excels in these
morning dresses sent over one that
was made in a most peculiar arrange
ment OF skirt and waist The vest
and sleeves were Of moss green tafeta.
The skirt hooked around the waist,
and the front breadth was then
brought up in a great double box plat
to the bust line, where it fastened with
a big cut-steel buckle. The vest OF the
waist was in the form of a blouse,
very full and laid in cross folds. The
shoulder puffs were OF the challie, also
draped across the shoulders. The col
lar was a coarse lace one wired and
bent to form a Medici.
This dress, although rather compli-
Gated in description, is very easy to
make. as it requires only the draped
front to get the effect The yoke and
sleeves can be made of cashmere,
which will be quite as effective as tat
feta. Instead of the challie any figured
goods can be used, which might be
warmer than the thin material.

Paris, Jan. PA free fight occurred
In the chamber of deputies that broke
up the sitting. 1t arose over the re-
fusal OF the government to publish the
proceedings in the Dreyfus case.
NJ. Jaures characterized as lilies" the
incomplete charges filed in the prosecu-
ton of lola, amidst applause from the
left side.
NJ Debornis, Conservative, accused
M. Jaures of being the spokesman of
the "Dreyfus syndicate, to which M.
Jaures replied ''You are a scoundrel
and coward"
NJ Debornis thereupon made rush
towards the tribune, but he was seized
by Socialists and a series of fights en-
sued, during which NJ. Debornis fought
his way to the tribune and struck NJ
Jaures.
The Conservatives and Socialists
charged the platform, and the melee
became general, with fighting and
shouting On all sides. The president
of the chamber, M. Brisson, being pow
erless to restore order, left the chamber
saying: II am going to consult the
procurstor general"
A few minutes later the order was
given to clear the tribune. amidst the
greatest excitement among the con-
tending deputies and journalists, who
were threatening and iostlinr each
other and almost coming to blows.
Several persons in the press gallery
exchanged blows during the uproar.
and the people in the public galleries
climbed up on the seats, shouting en-
enlargement or abuses at the deputies.

Martial Law at Fort Yukon.

Seattle, Wash, Jan. 24.-The latest
news from Alaska is that Captain Ray,
U. S. A., has taken charge of the stores
of the Alaskan Commercial company
and the North American Trading and
Transportation company, proclaimed
martial law at Fort Yukon, and placed
it's 500 inhabitants on rations, compell-
ing those who have money to pay for
them, and those who have not to work
for them. This step was rendered
necessary by the small stock Of supplies
on hand, which it was feared would be
exhausted before the Yukon river
opened next spring. After taking this
action, Captain Ray sent a special mes
senger to Dawson with letter to the
commercial companies, notifying them
that he had taken possession of their
stores. Il is stated that the letter also
asked the commercial companies to use
their influence in securing legislation
by congress giving to the soldiers OF
Alaska the same civic functions en-
ioyed by the Canadian mounted police

One Hundred Pounds OF Dirt Yielded
S6S5 In GtI1.


New York, Jan. ga personal rep
resentative of James r. Keene has been
in the Klondike since early last fall
Mr.. Keene has received two letters
from him, detailing the scarcity of pro
visions and the general discomforts.
The houses are poor and the cold is in
tense, but the health of the community
is good
Mining continues as effectual as IL
possible under the weather conditions.
Averaging up the district winter re-
turns the yield seems to be about $50 a
cubic yard.
Claims are in great demand on the
Ell Dorado and surrounding groups,
some having been sold at an average
price ofSlOO, 900 each.
Mr.. Keene's representative saw one
bucket of earth weighing not over 100
pounds, which yielded $685. in gold.
The community will require an en-
ormous amount of supplies, and there
is need of all kinds of machinery used
tor mining.
