AT Washington.

The Adjutant General has received a
dispatch from Gen. Macarthur at Manila
stating that Col. Grassa, Aug. II, in vi
cinity of rayug, surrendered command
to Col Freeman, oath u. ). infantry,
consisting of one major, six captains, six
| lieutenants, one hundred, sixty. nine
men, one rifle and fifty bolos."
| There is reason to believe that Japan
has made an answer to China's peace
overtures substantially identical to the
answer of the United states. This note
not only places Japan in unison with
| this government, but also shows the
purpose of that government in carrying
out the assurance of the Emperor of
Japan to the Emperor of China, made
about the time President Mckinley
answered the imperial edict.
At the opening of bids Saturday at
the navy department for armOT plate
the Bethlehem and Carnegie companies
submitted Identical bids, each for about
18, 200 tons of the $4,000 tons advertised
for at $490 for the thick armor and
$4l1.20 for the thin. The only other
bid was from the Midvale Steel Co.
which proposed to furnish the whole
amount of armor, without charging any
royalties on a sliding scale from S438
up. This company is unwilling to con-
tract for less than 10000 tons,
Other London morning papers basing
their remarks upon Washington dis
patches, which, with the exception of
the foregoing from Shanghai, form the
latest news regarding the advance, are
divided in opinion, some believing that
the allies must already reached Pekin,
and others preferring to believe that the
relief will not be accomplished until the
end of the week.
Word came early Wednesday to the
navy department that Gen. Chaffee had
reached Matow, about 20 miles from
Pekin. This occurred Friday or Sat
urday, though the dispatch from Gen.
haffee, sent through Admiral Remey,
was not sufficiently definite to locate the
exact time of reaching Matow. But in
any event three or four days have
elapsed since then and there is time for
a still further advance toward the I'm
perial city.

AN IDEA IN FUR.
The very latest wrinkle in furs is for
the glove with the tiny band of fur down
the back. Three of these narrow rows
are stitched to the back of the glove and
the hand, somehow, looks smaller for
them.
The eccentric is more the style in furs
than the conventional You see fur
coats with lapels of green velvet. The
fur sleeves are cut off at the elbow and,
below the elbow, there are puffs of vel
vet reaching to the wrist. Other fur
coats have entire vests of velvet and vel
vet cuffs trim the sleeves.
A coat of Persian lamb, made for an
American woman. but not yet worn ow-
ing to the lateness of the summer sea-
son, has pointed vest of cardinal vel
vet, broad at the throat and coming
down to a point at the waist. Lapels of
velvet of the same color turn back from
the vest. There are cuffs of the red vel

The fashionable fur coat Of the season

front with big brass buttons. The
shoulders are as smooth as those of
mans coat and the back is fiat and regu-

even the front has no suggestion of bag

straight and only medium tall. 1t is un-
trimmed and does not have the slight
est tendency to roll back. 1t is just
little straight band.
The sleeves are cuffless but sometimes
they have a band of gold braid. that is
all. The braid may be put on diagonally
in military fashion. The front of the
coat may also be trimmed with diagonal
bands of gold braid put on from should
er to front in rows running from the
shoulder seam to the middle of the bust
giving a pointed yet decidedly military
line.

OF course, and was fastened up by
means of the hooks of the gown, for it
was really a part of the dress. u
The edges We're worn; so, all around
the border of the cape, the modiste set
little ruff1es of chiffon which came from
underneath the fur in the prettiest man
ner possible. The ruffles We're three deep,
each a little longer than the one next to
it. sr4
Now, with the bits of fur that had been
removed from the shoulders of the gar
ment to make it set smoothly upon the
bodice the clever fingers of the modiste
renewed the skirt of the gown. She made
the tiniest pointed panel of fur for the
side of the skirt and she took the mar
rowest strips Of it and edged the girdle.
1t was really a very elegant garment
beautifully trimmed with fur, that was
finally turned out.
Mrs. George Law, the beautiful Amer
lean widow about whom so many para
graphs are penned, celebrated her re-
turn to health not long ago by a grand
reception in her lovely home. The gowns
on that occasion were typically repre-
sentative of the dressiest element in
Paris society. Many Americans were
present and the American taste, which
is superior in many respects to French
chic, was freely commented upon by the
dowagers who came eaerly and stayed
late-as though the reception were ball
and they the wall flowers.
Mrs. Law, who has the slim figure of
the American woman under thirty,
wears, in her carriage, the most exqus-
lite gown of cloth satin faced and tight
fitting in brilliant shade Of green. too

THE MILITARY HAT.

With this coat is worn the little mill
tary hat, three cOrnered and turned up
in front. One way to make these hats is
out of a piece of fur, round and slightly
stiffened in the center. The top of the
hat is now bent into crown shape and
the outside rim is turned up in front and
fastened at each side with a brass but
ton. 1t is also turned up at each side
and fastened again with button. A liz
tie gold aigrette may complete the mill
tary effect. This is an extremely pretty
mode.
The best fur for the military coat and
hat is astrakhan. 1t is short fur and
does not have a tendency to make the
figure look larger as SO many furs do.
It is not so very expensive and for that
reason is popular.
In the expensive grades Persian lamb
leads the styles. Then comes seal: or
perhaps it would be we'll to mention sa-
BILE here, except that it's price is so great
that it is seldom made into coats. Seal
and Persian lamb lead, followed by as
trachan which is inexpensive and pretty
in the latest designs that are shown.
Fur will be largely used in small de-
signs. 1t will be the trimming of the
winter and numerous are the devices
that are employed for it's use. OF little
fur capes there are thousands: you can
scarcely enumerate all the modes of the
small shoulder garment. It comes with
| the collar very tall and the cape very
| narrow; and it comes with the collar
! low and the cape rather broad.
One of the affects of the Paris eXposi-
| ton was to stimulate the modistes to
| the production of novelties. To own "a
| gown that was on exhibition is ttV
highest boast of a woman of fashion;
and to be madame la mode 1t is abb
solutely necessary to display ward
robe provided with at least three of these
gowns, one for morning. one for evening
and gown with a coat for the street. In
the treatment of fur the world of fashion
will receive man, a useful hint this sea-
son and the effects will be felt for many
| a year.

A CAPE TREATMENT.

One of the novelties is in the treatment
of an old cape which is too worn around
the edges and in spots to be presentable.
The clever modiste, to whom was handed
one of these capes with directions to cut
it, up for bodice trimming, took it in
hand; and, after removing all extra full
ness. she aplioued tiff the term may
be allowed-to the gown, front and back
to form deep yoke. It opened in front,

Sisters, Fair.

Last night marked the opening of the
Sisters of Loretto fair at Armory hall
says the Chieftain of May TO- Much
has been said in announcing the event,
which had keyed the expectations OF
the public to a high pitch and the
opening given last night justified all
that had beer said. Although post
poned for some time on account of
bad weather, there was nothing that
was spoiled by the delay, but on the
contrary the extra time was utilized to
add further to the attractiveness of
| the booths. These are four in number,
two on. each side of the large hall. First
after entering the door on the south
| side of the hall is the one in charge
of ladies of the south side. Opposite
| this booth on the north side of the hall
| is similar one conducted by ladies Of
! the north side
One glance at the contents of these
booths shows that long hours of deft
! needlework have been put in by con-
trtbutOrs. Articles of fanCywork en-
bracing everything that has been de-
vised by the fair sex since time began
| is displayed for sale at prices low
enough to tempt even the wary pur-
chaser. Ladies of the Catholic Benev
olent association located their booth at
the west end of the hall On the south
side. Purchasers looking for dainty
LOLI6 NEGOTIATIONS, SUCH dS SOLD pillOWS,
tides, bits of needlewerk, etc, can
hardly rasist the seductive display in
this booth and the young man who
would make a winning with his best
girl will do we'll to investigate the
various pretty things shown.
Young people were present in large
numbers. availing themselves of the
provisions made for amusement. Dance
music is furnished by Francis
Schwinger and tired dancers can find
refreshment at gaily decorated lem
onade booth or at the west end of the
Armory, where ice cream, cake, coffee
and sandwiches are served. Those in
charge of the booths are as follows:
Ladies of the south side, Mrs. j. Carr
and Mrs. Jeff Fitzpatrick; ladies of
the north side, Mesdames M. McCOr-
mick and Young; Ladies Catholic Be

door. The fair will be continued every |
evening until Saturday, May 19, in

indications are that this fair will break
all previous records for attendance.
