of his latest dispatch as has been given
out. There are reasons, however, for
the belief that he strongly advises against
any immediate withdrawal of American
troop from China, and gives good
reasons for the advice. Although there
are numerous rumors of contem-
plated action by the powers, either as
an alliance or in sections, no real move
is expected by this government until
after Ii Hung Chang arrives in Pekin.
Then it is probable that the powers will
indicate what.they intend doing. In fact,
it will be absolutely necessary that
they shall, as the demands Of the pow
ers will be the only basis upon which
negotiations with the Chinese can be
started. The hope that the powers
would all unite in those demands is less
strong than it was, although it has not
been entirely abandoned

been some discussion of the plan in the
event that the Sultan still continued OBJ
Stinate. Ii is believed that international
complications could be averted by notify
ing the continental powers that ii was the
intention of the United States to remain
in possession of the port only long enough
to collect the 100000. The administration
is now averse to going beyond severance
OF diplomatic relations. No serious thought
has been given to a naval demonstration,
as the administration has all the war it
cares to deal with now. Should Ali Ferrouh
Bey be given his passports it would amount
to saying that Turkey is dishonest gov
eminent. State Department officials be-
lieve that the Sultan will not be willing to
have his country thus advertised to the
world
Discussing the same subject the Wash
ington correspondent of the New York
Tribune says: "All the contingencies
that might result from an outright
breach with Turkey have been canvassed
at the State Department with a thorough
ness which, of itself, is sufficient proof of
the deliberate earnestness of the United
States in forcing the Sultan to settle, with
out regard to the extreme punishment that
may have to be inflicted upon the Ottoman
empire should he prove pugnacious. For
one thing. the missionary organizations in
this country, whose interests may be
further jeOpardiZed, have given assurances
that they are willing to run the risk of
strOyed by the Turks, and that workers
there. dependent upon American support,
do not shrink from the possibility of re-
currence of the massacres which led TO the
present trouble. The naval programme. in
the event of resort to force, has also had
careful consideration. and IL appears that
Smyrna will be almost difficult to reach
Santiago. The city has compare
lively small proportion of Turkish popula-
ton. it's great storehouses and valuable
property belonging exclusively to foreign
ers. chiefly English and German. On this
account a general bombardment would be
out of the question and as siege, without
cooperation from the land, would be in
effectual. serious problem is involved in
the proposition to secure the port and adj
minister its customs. This city's large trade
being much in foreign hands, a protracted
blockade of the harbor would antagonize
European interests. TO dangerous extent
and the United States, without the approx
al of the continental powers, might be seri-
ously embarrassed in the undertaking
English consent and probably England's
cooperation could be reas olably relied on,
but in any case the American naval forces
assembled i'm the Mediterranean would
have to be powerful enough to force the
Dardanelles in the end This course, it is
thought. would promptly involve all the
European powers. not as antagonists of the
United States. but as eager participants in
the partition of the Turkish empire"

MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 21.-Traffic to
New Orleans has been resumed and through
trains are being run over the Yazoo & Mis-
sissippi Valley road. On account of the
floods on the Illinois Central road below
Jackson trains are stin tied up on this
road. but the officials have made arrange
ments to handle their business by the
Yazoo & Mississippi line. vicksburg reports
traffic resumed, but fears are entertained
there that the heavy rains of to-day and
tonight will cause further trouble.
The water is receding along the line of
the Mobile & Ohio Railroad, having fallen
from one to one and half feet during the
past twenty-four hours. This still leaves
portions of the track from two to three
feet under water. The officials hope to re-
sumo traffic by Monday night.
On the Mobile, Jackson q Kansas City
road the situation is unchanged, except at
Merrill the terminus, where the water has
risen a foot further and promises 10 rise
still more. All the inhabitants have left

DULUTH, Mimi, April 21.-Fierce forest
fires are reported raging in the northern
and western portion of st. Louis and the
eastern portion of Itasca counties, and
hundreds of thousands of dollars
worth of property in the western
portion of the Mesaba range is
threatened with destruction. The fire is
most extensive between Hibbng and Swan
river, about seventy-five miles northwest
of the city. and the whole country in that
section is lit up. Powers & Simpsons saw
mill, near Hibbing, has been destroyed and
the fire is travelling in the direction of Cass
lake, near the Duluth, Mississippi & North
ern and Eastern Minnesota Railways, and
constantly increasing in area. The north
eastern part of the State is drier this
spring than it has been in years, owing to
very light SHOWS last winter and the alb
sence of rain. and unless the fire is checked
shortly the damage will be enormous.

the end of the year which include better
machine guns than are at present used by

The New Sailor Hat.
Harper's Bazaar.

-
The sailor hat-that is. the trimmed sailor
is to be fashionable again, but until sum-
mer will be so much trimmed that there
will be very little OF the straw visible
Trimmings Of straw will also again be
worn. and the same fancy weaves will be
used. The first straw hats worn in this
part of the country will be the shapes over
the face, like the sailor, the English walk
ing hat and the turban. with velvet. silk or
satin bows. A noticeable feature of the
walking hats is that they are low and
broad. with fat trimming. and are not be-
coming to every style of beauty. Indeed,
all the hats intended for so-called hack
wear lack very much the smart look that
hats have had for the last few seasons,
owing to there not being any high or stifr
trimming. This rule. however, is not car
ried out in the other shapes, and there is
certainly quiet elegance about the low
hats that will commend them to conserva-
tive taste. The sailors show soft folds of
velvet. silk ribbon. or coarse fish-net with
effective feathers OF modified quill FORM
One pretty sailor has a bow Of sheer white
batiste with trimmings Of yellow corn and
the contrasting soft. cool green OF the
corn-husks.
