Summer Yelling.

Two or three different styles of veil

fancy mesh without dots or when dots
are Worn for large ones. There is a
double yelling that is becoming, a
white tulle with an overmesh of cob
web pattern in black with large che
mile dot. which is pretty. The fancy
mesh wells without the dots are not
nearly so expensive and are unusually
fine in texture. In buying these care
should be taken, says Harper's Bazaar
not to have the mesh too fine, other
wise when drawn across the face folds

which no woman. however young, is

NOTES MADE PUBLIC
UNITED STATES REPLIES TIC
OTHER POWERS.
Uncle Sans First Purpose and DE.
sire Is 20 BE Fair with China
Should Re Given u Chance to Ex-
ercise Punitive Measures.

Washington: The state department has
made public theteNt OF the notes addressed
by 1t TO the governments of Germany,
Russia and China in answer to inquiries
from them as to the attitude of the United
States toward the various phases of the
Chinese problem, as follows:
The government of the United States
las from the outset proclaimed its purpose
To hold TO the uttcrmoSt accountability the
responsible authors of any wrongs done in
China to citizens of the United States and
their interests, as was stated in the gov
ernment's circular communication to tho
powers of July last. These wrongs have
been committed not alone IN peSin, but III
many parts of the empire, and their un-
ishinent is believed to he an essential elc-
mcnt of any effective settlement which
Shall prevent a recurrence of such outrages
and bring about permanent safety and
peace in China III is thought, however,
that no punitive measures can be so effect
i've by way of repatriation for wrongs SUI
iercd and as deterrent examples for the
future as the degradation and punishment
OF the responsible authors by the supreme
imperial authority itself: and it seems only
gust to China that she should be afforded in
the first instance an opportunity 10 do this,
and thus rehabilitate herself before the
world. believing thus. and without abat-
ing in any wise its deliberate purpose to
exact the fullest accounting from the re-
~sponsible authors of the wrong we have
suffered in China, the government of the
United States is not disposed us prclimin-
airy condition to entering into diplomatic
negotiations With the Chinese government
to Join in a demand that said government
surrender TO the powers such persons as
according TO the determination of the pow
ers themselves. may he held to be the first
and real perpetrators of those wrongs. On
the other hand. this government is dis
posed To hold that the punishment of the
high responsible authors OF :hesc wrongs,
moi only in Pckin. but throughout China,
is essentially a condition to be embraced
n provided for IN the negotiations for Il
final settlement. 1t is the purpose of this
government, at the earliest practicable mo-
ment, to name lis plenipotcntiaries for me-
gotiating IL settlement With China, and in
the meantime to authorize its minister in
Pekin to enter forthwith in the conference
with the duly authorized representatives of
the Chinese government with il view to
bringing about a preliminary agreement
whereby the full exercises of the imperial
power for the preservation of order and
the protection of foreign life and property
throughout China, pending final negotia-
lions with the powers. Shall be assured.
This government will accept Lii Hung
Chang and Prince Ching as the proper
persons with whom to negotiate for the es-
tablishment of peace.
