The Advanced shirt Waist.

The shirt waist is an institution that
has come to stay. 1t has it's subscrib-
ers in the homes Of the poor and the
mansions of the rich. Its praises are
sung by the women who have cents
and by the women who have dollars.
The popularity of the convenient arti-
Gle Of dress places it on pinnacle
from which it will take lots of time to
drag it, il it ever comes down at all.
The shirt waist belongs to no class,
TO no cline, 80 far AS America is con-
cerned. 1t has covered the upper OF
the Southern as well as that of the
Northern woman, and that OF the
Western as we'll as that of the Eastern
woman.

There are bound to be at least two
thirds of the lot that are white. That
goes without saying this year. There
is pink and white gingham fine as
gossamer, pale blue, a medium blue,
deep blue with round yoke of en-
broidery. There are at least two ecrus
with embroideries to tighten them and
lavender ones, and white ones these

NO CENSORSHIP HERE.
Gen. Corbin Says that All of Otis Dis
patches Are Given to the Press.

Regarding statements that cable dis
patches received In Washington and other
news regarding the war had been censored
contrary to the usual custom, AdJt- Gen
Corbin yesterday said:
"Yes, these complaints have been
brought TO my notice A word OF eXplana-
ton is perhaps due to the country, no
less than the department. The enor-
nous amount of work the office has been
called upon TO perform has taxed TO the
limit the endurance of the clerks, VINO.
by the way, are as competent as any that
can be found anywhere. Complaints are
made by several OF the assistants and
clerks that our clerks were being an
moved and their time taken from legiti-
mate work by direct applications for in
formation from people in no way con-
nected with the office or the public service.
As matter of protection Of the public
interests and good administration, the
order OF June - was issued.
1.-THE censure of the so-called censored
press is without just cause. and evidently
made under misapprehensiOn of facts.
There has been no information received
from Gen. Otis that has not been given to
the press promptly on the bulletin board in
the hall of this office. Every fairminded
representative of the press will bear wit
ness 10 this statement. What would the
manager of any ore of the complaining
papers say, if information concerning the
business Of the paper was inquired for
of the printers, rather than at the busi-
ness Office of the paper? This is case
exactly in point.
The standing instructions OF the Presi-
| dent and Secretary of War are that the
public shall be given all the information
we receive This has been done, and will
continue to be done. OF course, plans o!
| campaigns that would be Of help to Agui-
naldo and other rebels have not and will
not be promulgated, but all the facts OF
events transpired have been given III

minister's Of the city on account of his
attitude on the question of the enforce
ment of the Sunday laws, especially In
connection with a place of amusement in
which he was interested as part owner.

lures of his office, and that he has openly

money, without any benefit whatever TO
those who pay"

tend a meeting of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee in Chicago this week,
and will probably, by some sign or other,
indicate that Pennsylvania's choice for
the Presidential nomination is William
Jennings Bryan. Such. at any rate is
the opinion of Philadelphia Democrats,
and they are at present in close touch
with the National Committeeman.
Pennsylvania siAty-four votes WILL of
course be a substantial factor in shaping
the result The State will not, however,
be permitted to turn to Bryan without
an effort TO prevent il. 1t was stated to-
day by a well-knOwn local Democrat who
was distinctly d gold man three years ago
that Arthur p. German, of Maryland, was
endeavoring to create an anti-Bryan SEN
timent in Pennsylvania, and that there
were influential men in the State who
would prefer 10 see German the nominee
However this may be. 1t is pretty GER
tain that when the time comes Col. Cuff
fey will set the pace that will be followed,
and il is the judgment OF active men in
the party that as conditions exist to-day
the pace would be for Bryan.

stated at the War Department that the
matter of clothing for the troops was at
their own disposal. Each man Is allowed
$50 annually for clothing. and If he does
not use the whole amount he draws the
residue. The Oregon men can draw upon
this clothing credit If they want to. and
get overcOats or other things. but it will
be charged to their clothing account and
