MY Lady's Stationery

Stationery manages to keep pace with
the progressive spirit of the times; and the
various styles of writing paper for the new
born century are very attractive indeed.
The size that is most universal in the ex-
elusive circles is wider than that used last
year, and little shorter, say about an
inch. 1t goes without saying that there
are envelopes to match, and these are
made with a new shape of flap, round in
the center and slanting upwa rds, on each
side. Very elegant papers have borders,
such as DIS used mourning stationery,
and if you are fortunate enough to be in
correspondence with society you will no.
tice that wedgewood blue with border of
ecru is just now the vogue. Pastel laven-
der with a white border is also pretty.
Crests are prepared fin two colors and are
as elaborate as possible Many envelopes
are now sold with a small seal annexed
as if they had been made with sealing wax,
but only require sticking. For the accom-
mediation of those who find it expensive to
keep supplied with engraved stationery,
very pretty writing paper comes already
initiated in neat design for nominal sum.

RUSSIA'S INTENTIONS.
Digest of Opinions in Chinese and Japa-
nese Papers Reveal Her Position.

Vancouver, B. c., january 1.-THE digest
of opinions of the principal Chinese-Japa-
nese papers, as received today by the
steamer Empress of Japan, thirteen days
from Yokohama, indicate that Russiais I'M
mistakably revealing her intentions in the
far east.
The China Gazette says that taking adj
vantage of England's pressing engagement
in South Africa, the Russian government,
through its consul at Hankow has revived
its claim to the Jardinez-Matheson land,
making demand for the property in the
most peremptory fashion. The Russian
consul claims that the question of the dis
puteed ownership of the land has been alb
solutely decided in favor of his government
and he has announced his intention to take
forcible possession of the property without
further negotiations. His actions are said
to have been extremely hgh-handed. Re-
lations between the British and Russian
residents are strained to the breaking
point.

Black at wedding Receptioas

So often inquiry Is made of our fashion
editor as to whether or not 1t is appropri-
ate to wear black gown at wedding
reception, that it Is hoped that this para
graph will afford satisfactory information
regarding the subject. Black satin is al
ways in good taste, but the actual success
of the dress depends on the making. Bro
cade for day wear is apt to look passe, or
even dowdy. Glace with small designs
sprinkled through it is quite the newest
thing out. 1t is very smart trimmed with
chenille embroidery and fringe, and can be
easily made for about the same sum that
an elegant cloth dress would cost The
best style of making would be plain, full
skirt, opening down the center of the front
of the skirt TO show narrow under
breadth; the bodice with long basques,
trimmings, and a distinct vest, either en-
broidery or chiffon, and with white lace at
the throat; THE sleeves quite small and
plain.

MCCOY WILL FIGHT
CHOYNSKI TONIGHT
New York Full of Sporting
Men Who Will Witness
the Mill.

New York, January 11.-Many of the out
of-town sporting men who came here to
see the battle for the featherweight cham
ponsInip between Terry McGovern and
George Dixon have remained over to wit
ness the 25-round mill between kid Nc
Coy and Joe Choynski, which is to be de-
cided in the ring of the Broadway Athletic
club tomorrow night. This will be the
third meeting of these men. Mccoy gained
a decision over Choynsld in a 20-round
bout decided in San Francisco, while a
six-round contest between them in Chicago
recently was decided a draw.
McCoys recent defeat of Peter Maher
in a mastery fashion puts him much the
favorite over Choynski, who, however, has
always proven himself to be tough propo-
sition.
Choynski claims to have improved great
ly and ITO be stronger than ever, while Nc
Coy is ten pounds heavier than he was
when he last met the Californian in the
ever was.
Mccoy feels as confident as ever of put
ting Choynsi out and the Californian said
tonight: 81 will be there to win. Mccoy S
victory over Ma1ler does not scare me in

ANTT-IMPERIALISTS
IN WASHINGTON
Ex-Gov. Boutwell, of MaSSaChu-
sets Attacks Administration
in Vigorous Terms.

Washington, January 11.-About 500 per-
sons attended an anti-imperialist meeting
held in Masonic hall here tonight. The
weather was wet and disagreeable. The
speakers were ex-senator ]. B. Henderson,
of Missouri; Ex-Governor Boutwell,, of Mas
saehusetts, and Representative Lentz, of
Ohio.
Mr.. Henderson asserted that the Filipinos
are proved by the testimony of Admiral
Dewey and others to be capable of self
was antagonistic to subjugation of liberties
of people. He appealed to American
manhood to acknowledge our error and
right the wrong done the Fiipinos.
Ex-Governor Boutwell,, of Massachusetts,
passed by the moral consideration incident
to any comprehensive treatment of the
Philippine war and addressed himself to
the questions of business and labor in which
this country, he said, was much concerned.
The speech was a severe arraignment OF
the administration with respect to its new
colonial dependencies, and made an appeal
that they be permitted to set up independ-
ent governments free from any dictatlon oy
| the United States. "Shall the laboring and
producing classes of America he asked,
''be subjected to a direct and never ending
competition with the under-paid and hair
clad laborers of Asia, or shall the republic
of America be transformed into colonial
empire with like consequences to the labor
ing classes? The only question of impor-
lance before the country today is that OF
republic or empire.
I'm November 1s0O," he continued, the
future of the nation will be decided, when
the laborers will have an opportunity to put
an end to the scheme Of establishing
colonial empire to be followed by the degra-
dalton of the laboring population through
competition with the laborers of the east
and the products of the cheap labor of the
east" =
