scarfs, sashes. diaphanous dresses and
stocks for theatre wear, along with
innHmerable evening gowns beauti-
fed by roses, forgetmenots, snowdrops
and narcissus blooms.
Dorothy's dress is dream. Under
the mousseline, which is ivory white,
there is violet tulle which gives faint
purplish flush well according with the
flowers. On the bodice both green and
violet tulle appear, with great rope
of dainty blossoms fastened to the
left side. hanging free from the waist
line to the edge Of her skirt. Triple
bands of violets simulate sleeves. and
she wears bracelet of them on her
right wrist, from which is suspended a
tiny empire fan composed entirely Of
violets. This is in lieu of the conven-
tional bouquet. The ensemble is very
fetching and in it may be observed
several suggestions which might be
utilized by some of us who do not in
dulge in great extravagances. For in
stance, the floral bracelet might occom-
pany a floral stock and simple gown
made more pretentious by the addition
of mousseline sash fringed with fiow-
ers, while the fan garniture is easily
accomplished and may be used with
impunity on many occasions. One of
white satin covered in pink roses Would
be dainty, and one with border of
large white, yellow or black chrysan-
themums sewed quite on the edge of a
fan with substantial sticks simply gor-
geous.
The flower craze has extended to
stock. and lengths of velvet ribbon
submitted to this treatment are pre-
yailing fancy. / can see the simple
white muslin frock of the June days
wonderfully transformed by wearing
a silken sash with ends covered in
flowers.

Air, proper ventilation and protec-

Some mothers, realizing the benefits
to be derived by net wearing, are put

Dorothy tells me in this connection
that nightaps, too, are having

net. AS a compromise she has knit

her face in a frill of wash lace. You

NEW CANADIAN ELEVATORS.
Immense Preparations Made to Handle
Next Seasons Export Wheat.

NEW YORK, May 17.-Produce Ex-
change members are much interested
in dispatches from Montreal stating
that the harbor board there had ac-
cepted the plans of the Connors' syn
dicate TO build 1000, 900 bushel eleva-
tor at that port, with storehouses at
tached. having storage capacity Of
100000 bushels. 1t is understood that
the buildings are to be ready in time
TO handle this seasons crop.
Mr.. Connors said:
THE company for which got the
land concessions has a Dominion char
ter and it will be known as the Can
adian Inland Transportation Company.
Money for it's operation will be ready
any day when needed. So far, we have
done only surveying and preliminary
engineering work at Montreal. We
shall have the elevators finished by Au-
gust. We are figuring on elevators al
Montreal and Port Colborne, and on
tweuty-one boats by 1901, seven steam
ers. seventeen feet draught, $500 tons
each, and fourteen barges Of canal
draught Of 2,4OO tons each.
I'VE expect to put 100000 into the
business. The steamers will carry
100, 900 bushels and the barges 10000
bushels each"

United States Coast and Geodetic Sur
vey. preparations are being made to
dispatch the United States steamers
Pathfinder and Patterson to Behring
Sea early next month. where they will

Michael and Cape Prince of Wales.
Plans for the work OF the coast AM
geodetic survey department in Alaskan
waters have been almost completed for
the season. The principal work will be
done by the Pathfinder and the Patter-
son. the latter boat being commended
by Captain Pratt. who is a recognized
authority on Alaskan waters. 1t is the
policy Of the department to do every
thing possible 10 make navigation in
Behring Sea easy and profitable to
merchantmen.
The coast is terra incognita at this
time. and on account Of the immense
growth Of traffic between Puget Sound

NEW YORK. May IA special e
the Tribune from Washington. says;
Army officers are becoming more con-
cerned than ever over the danger be-
lieved to be involved in the policy
adopted by the war department author
ities in not appealing 10 congress to
provide for permanent increase in the
enlisted strength at the present session.
The necessity Of a continuance Of all
the present available force in the Phil
ippines fer at least another year is
now regarded as iniisputable, yet under
existing law it is imperative that a be-
ginning must be made not later than
November in the repatriation OF troops
serving there.
In the Philippines there are $1,000
regulars and $4,000 volunteers. BY July
of next year, all these volunteers must
have been discharged from the service
and the entire regular army on duty
in the United States and the Islands
must be reduced 10 1900. Allowing six
thonsad regulars for duty in the United
States, Puerto Rico. Alaska and Ha-
waii. at least 1900 men must be
brought home from the Philippines be-
fore the end OF the next fiscal year.
With the present ocean transport IA
cilities. neglecting chartered tramp
steamers which are hardly fit to carry
mules and forage. 1t will take at least
six months to return and discharge the
number of men essential TO reduce the
army to its authorized strength.
1t is declared to be out Of the question
to attempt any reduction Of the force
in the PHILIPPINES just now. when as a
matter Of fact many operations have
been ineffective for lack Of force. and
1t is feared that when reductions be-
gin in November the departure Of the
troops will have q disastrous effect by
giving encouragement to Tagal leaders.
But this is nothing compared to the
danger of protraeted debate over the
proposed permanent increase in the
next session Of congress. Little can be
expected in the way Of such legislation
in December or January and prominent
officers frankly declare that the matter
should be settled this summer.

NATIONAL BANK LOANS.
New Regulations Under Which Present
Restrictions WIN BE Modified.

Gage. before the house committee on
banking and currency, on the bill re-
stricting national bank officers and di-
rectors in making loans OF the banks
with which they are connected, APP
proved the general provisions as to oiii-
GERS. but suggested notifications as to
directors, which the committee will
make.
The secretary also pointed out that
the provision limiting loans to 10 per
cent of the capital was practically OBJ
solete, and suggested that the limlta-
ton be fixed at two per cent OF the
essets with proviso for collateral Sc
curity when this limitation ran above
10 per cent Of the capital stock,
The suggestion met with favor and
probably viii be recommended by the
committee.

SPECIMENS FROM PHILIPPINES.
Special Agent Of Smithsonian Arrives
in San Francisco With a Valu-
able Collection.

SAN FRANCISCO. May 17.-Colonel
F. F. Hilder is back from his third
visit to the Philippines in the inter-
ests of the Smithsonian Institution and
is here on his way to Washington with
the first lot of a collection of speci-
mems that aggregate about 5000
pieces. having a value Of about S12,-
900. and constitute an exhaustive ex-
hibit Of the manufactures, trades, arts,
tools, domestic utensils, costumes, wea-
pons. wood and industries of the Phil
ippine islands.
The balance Of the exhibits will ar
rive in the course Of the next two
months. The interesting display will
be first arranged at the Pan-Ameri-
can exhibition that will open at Buff
falO next May. Afterwards the collec-
tion will be returned to Washington
and arranged as Filipino department
in the National Museum.
Colonel Hilder says that the great
est ana MOST pTOnlaDle INDUSTRY OF
the future in the Philippines will be
that connected with the marketing OF
magnificent timber that covers the ISL
ands There are extensive groves OF
hard woods and other woods unknown
to tile commercial world. He has also
made a collection Of all the fibres Of
the country, among them the celebrat.
ed fibre from which Manila rope is
made. This fibre, he says. is moi
hemp at all, but comes from a species
of banana peculiar TO the Philip
pines.
Next to the hard woods these fibres
will be of a great commercial value.
