ORDERS DECREASING.
Due to Uncertainty of Crops nnd

The Railroad Gazelte'
In our columns during the month OF May
We noted orders for 1872 cars. OF these
20S5 were coal, ore and gondola cars; so9o
we're box, stock and refrigerator cars ooo
were fiat cars; 14O were steel cars, aud ll
we're passenger and street railroad cars
Orders were also noted for 122 loconio-
lives. 81 of which were for foreign ROADS
and of the total OF 122. % were for passen-
ger SO for freight and is for switching
service. This shows a further heavy fall
ing off in orders from the April record
and compared with the month OF March,
when orders were noted for 1867 cars and
5l locomotives the reduction is remark
/ able AS the weeks go by and the build
ers have chance to catch up with their
| orders 1t would seem that early deliveries
must be easier to obtain but the crops
are by no means safe yet. and there Is
much uncertainty about them. Several
roads are holding back orders on account
of the high prices now asked for rolling
stock by the builders.

Loss of Seed Cane.

Mill Company imported seed cane
from Lahaina last year, it was found
that many of the bags had been cut
opened and the cane distracted after
they were deposited in the warehouse
at Walakea. The same kind of depre-
dation has been committed recently in
the case of bags destined for Puma
plantation. In the aggregate about ten
bags of seed cane have been taken
away and suspicion points to a man
who has been seen about the ware

STRANGE RUMORS ABROAD.

In spite of the arrival of these two
boats crews from the vessel and the
stories told by them there was a grow
ing belief on the water front last
night that the City of Columbia was
still on her way to HongkOng. One
high local official who had made a
thorough investigation of the matter
was emphatic in his statements.
1T is very noticeable he said, that
pretty nearly every one of the men
who returned were taken on board by
force prior to the steamers sailing.
The City of Columbia can easily be
handled by the number of men now
said to be missing, and it is probable
that the steamer is on her way to
HOngkOng now and that these men
were ordered to take their boats and
GO
This rumor gained currency during
the evening, and further developments
are anXiously awaited.

to say nothing.

which are hung the deeply curved lower
draperies. In other models the desired
smooth effect over the hips Is produced Sy
cores or by laeings at the back or sides.
Below the hips the skirt is undercut to the
limbs. About the feet there may or may
not be a relieving flare.
Speaking artistically the aim Is classic
and reyelatory of what may be the most
beautiful thing in the world, the natural
human figure. Speaking practically, the
resulting picture is often that of two eggs
set end on end.
The skin-tight skirt is cut in cloths for
tailor dresses, in silks and satins for the
wear. of NATIONS, and in 1irny transparent
stuffs for the summer girl. 1t is applied
without much discrimination to street,
house and evening costumes. Some of the
walking dresses which have adopted 1t
seem to be so entitled because sitting down
in them would be impossible.
It's effect is most whimsical and dellisive
in the case of musline, which appear at
first glance as unfcttering as the robes OF

limbs; but a purposed straining to display
the figure is as un-Helleric as would be an
effort to conceal it. Modern seif-corscious-
moss applied. to dressmaking produces a
vastly different effect from Greek joy in
what Is simply and unavoidaby given.
Moreover Venus, Diana and all the god
