WHITE BOOK MUSLIN.
Ian Old-Fnshioned Fabric That IL
I Now Much In Favor with
Young Ladies'.

White book muslin has been resusci-
dated as a material for frocks for de-
butuntrs. 1t is only suitable for the
very young, and to look well needs a
silk foundation, but its charms are so
many that when made up daintily 1T
can hold its own with any satin or tulle
gown ever yet planned. White book
muslin and coral beals! No wonder the
young girl of this season reminds old
gentlemen of the dear grandmamma at
her age. A delicious frock of book
muslin for a pretty little maid who
made her first formal bow to society
CAST week has foundation of white
silk, not u rustling silk, be it noted.
The muslin overslip bears three little
4ounces, each one edged with fine lace.
The bodice is IL picture bodice, !. e.,
aight-fitting and adorned with fichu,
lace edged and voluminous; the sleeves
reach just TO the elbow and have n eer-
tain quaintness of their own, impaired
by the deep muslin frills, lace edged
again in their turn, which adorn them.
The fichu fastens in front with knot
of pale pink roses, held in place by
wired bow of the palest blue velvet rib
hon. Of course, when the pretty little
maid wears this frock she looks ready
to dance in Vatican ballet.
! A "Sir Joshua Reynolds" frock of
hook muslin would be pretty with
short empire waist, deep flounce, and
above it several tucks, at the hem of the
skirt; tuck of real lace run with white
'satin baby ribbon at the decolletage
and fichu reaching to the belt line
and then hanging straight down at
either side, secured by two pearl pins.
Puffed sleeves and blue sash would
peomplete charming and youthful cos

CABINET MEETING,
Cuban Shipping Tied up-Has no Flag
to Sail Undcr-Gcncral Otis Report
on the Philippines.

Cuban Shipping Tied up-Ens no Flag
to Sail Undcr-Gcncral Otis Report
on the Philippines.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May o3.-The
main feature OF the cabinet meeting to-
day was the reading and discussion of
the detailed report from General Otis
regarding the military operations in the
Philippines The report carried the
operations up to April. and is consid-
cred satisfactory.
Secretary Gage brought up the ques-
ton of :; tlag for the Cuban shipping.
About six millions dollars worth of
Cuban shipping is tied up and prevent
ed from engaging In international trade
because 1t has no flag to sail under.
The owners have repeatedly appealed
for relief, and after explaining tho
situation to the cabinet to-day the
whole matter was referred tc Secre-
tary Gag for solution If one could be
found. Relief was offered so far MS
coastwisc trade Is concerned by the
recognition OF the Cuban flag for this
purpose. But foreign countries cannot
recognize the flag OF country that
does not exist. and American registry
cannot be granted to ships owned by
citizens of foreign country. The
question presents many complications.
and 1t is recognized that great inJus.
ticc Is being done TO the Cuban own
crs of ships under the existing state
OF affairs. Secretary Gage will confer
with the bureau Of navigation regard
ing the matter. in the hope that some
solution may be found.
General Otis report. received by mail
and read by the President ut the cabi-
net meeting to-day. Is pronounced by
those who heard 1t n most interesting
summary OF the situation in the Phil
ipplnes. In the main 1t presents the
subject from the military standpoint.
But probably the most important con-
tribution Is that covering the cOrrc-
spOndence between General Otis and
NguInaldo, just preceding the outbreak,
showing conclusivcly that the Ameri-
can commander used every effort to
avoid the conflict. The communica-
tionS from Aguinnldo bear his sigma
ture, and give little evidence of n con-
cilatory spirit or disposition to ac-
cept American rule. The members OF
the cabinet believe that they furnish
n conclusive showing Of the rectltude OF
our course In dealing with the upr!s-
Ing. II was felt to be such n strong
presentation of the conditions leading
up to the Insurrecllon now existing that
1t was determined to make 1t public at
once. Time was required. however to
make n summary and prepare copies,
and these will be given out to-mOr-
row. The report covers about fifteen
typewrItten pages. and brings the SUBJ
jcct up TO about six weeks ago.
The Forthcoming civil service order
which the President had under ulns!d-
Grafton at Hot Springs. was read. and
II was announced that 1t would be
signed and made public to-morroW.

DIFFERENCE OF OPINION
Among American Commissioners as
toBcst Method Of Dealing With the

Among American Commissioners MS
to Best Method Of Dealing With the
Insurgents.
WASHINGTON. May 23.-The indica-
ton clearly set out in the news dis
patches from Manila of Il division OF
opinion among the United States COM
missioncrs as to the best method Of
dealing with the insurgents at this crit
lcul stage has aroused deep Interest
here. Nothing was received at the
state department to-day from President
Schurman, OF the commission, and In
General Otis dispatches to Secretary
Alger. or at least all of them made pub
lie. there Is no reference to any dissat-
isfaction oE his part with the attitude
OF the civilian members OF the commits
sion. 1t Is regarded as perhaps u mis-
fortune that this phase OF the situation
was not reached before Admiral Dewey,
by leaving Manila for home, lost 10 the
commission the benefit OF his expert
ence and sound judgment. 1t Is realized
here that much that Is required at this
juncture In order, while avoiding ex-
treme measures with the Filipinos. not
to fall into the much graver error of
losing the eXpersivcly bought fruits of
the victories Of the American army and
navy.
The war department Is inclined to
support General Otis. not only because
of his connection with the war. but also
on the ground that his longer expert
ence with the insurgents better fits him
to understand the native character
However. the President Is giving the
matter his close personal attention, as
sisted not only by Secretary Hay, who
Is directly responsible for the iustruc-
tions given to the commission. but by
all the members of the cabinet, and Il
proper outcome Of the little difference
may be expected.

WINTER WHEAT

Western States


CHICAGO. May 2S-The Farmers
Review, tomorrow will publish n review
OF winter wheat prospects. compiled
from over five hundred correspondents
In Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri. Iowa.
Illinois, Wisconsin,, Indiana. Michigan,
Ohio and Kentucky. The reports in the
main show the winter wheat to be In
rather poor condition. Especially Is this
true OF the western edge OF the winter
wheat belt. In Iowa, Nebraska, Kan
sas, Illinois and Wisconsin,, where the
snow covering during last winter was
very deficient, much of the rather Inn
tied area of winter wheat sown was
killed. The fields that survived the win
ter, however, are showing up well.
In the more southern states, including
Missouri, Kentucky and Ohio, the
prospects are more encouraging. In
Missouri the condition is described rs

RoughinS and Catching and Other
Matters.
DETROIT. Mich.. May 23.-The
Amalgamnted Association convention
reached definite understandings on sew
crai Of the subordinate wage scales to-
day. The scales for roughing and
catching, rolling pipe and sheet Iron
johbing mills were settled. and an NV

munlcatlon was received from the tin
plate and bar Iron manufacturers. stat
inS that their representatives would be
here on Thursday for the purpose OF
meeting the association and coming TO
an agreement In the matter of wages
and rates.
The convention has decided. 1t Is said,
that the same price shall be paid for
all light scrap worked along In q boil
ing furnace, as for working wrought
Iron turnings and that the puddlers
and boilers shall be paid for all blooms
and sliders equivalent to 1870 pounds
where the charge Is 500 pounds per heat
when 1t Is no fault of the boiler.
Where pot metal or stove plate is
worked alone or mixed. 50 cents per
ton extra shall be paid, but II the
stove plate or pot metal to the extent
OF 100 pounds or less Is worked into
pig metal, no extras shall be paid.
When mixed material IS worked not
provided for by the scale, the mean
price between the prices of the mate

not to 70 below one-thlrd. Five heats
shall constitute days work on double
