The bodice was built OF a few inches
Of satin, like the skirt, and what little
else there was OF it was made up OF
pearls and diamonds and a bunch Of
Easter lilies on the shoulder.
There was little more to the bodice
OF Mrs. Langtry's second frock, and it
was vastly more becoming, as we'll as
more pleasant to contemplate. There
really is 80 little to the first bodice that
one is in constant state of wild anx-
iety for fear there may at any moment
be less.
The second dress is exquisite and de.
cidedly the best of the lot.
1t is ciel blue satin-how Jean Worth
adores satin!-brocaded all over ip q
darker shade with stare, and about the
feet in a paler shade with moons, The
whole gown, which is princesse, is
thickly sewn with brilliants. The bod
ice has deep v front and back. which
is filed in with beautiful lace, sewn so
closely with brillisnts that it is blaze
Of light. The lines in this gown are
perfect.
Mrs. Lsngtry wears broad bands of
diamonds over her shoulders with both
gowns. OF course. no sleeves.
Her jewels are wonderful, as usual.
With the gown she wears in the first
act there Is a diamond chain with a
pearl pendant. The pearl must weigh
1T least hundred carats; the diamond
chain reaches down to the bottom of
her gown and the pendant swirgs
against her feet as she moves. l was
sure she would trip over it before the
act was over. Between that fear and
the uncertainty felt about the lady's
bodice was much relieved when the
curtain fell. and delighted when in the
next act she came on more securely
CARRIED and with the chain wound
several times about her throat, we'll out
Of harms way.
Mrs. Langtry in this second act
gown makes beautiful picture in
which the most captious critic could
find no fleck nor flaw.
i did not care very much for Mrs.
Langtry's morning dress, as it makes
her look short.
It's one Of those impossible things to
picture with pen and ink. so won't at
tempt to. 1 did not care for the coat of
orange velvet, with chenille wings,
either. 1t, too, shortens Mrs. Lapgtry
and thickens her as we'll. But why
"hammer?" One should feel the even
ing we'll spent to have had the picture
Of the blue gown. and Mrs. Langtry in
it, stamped upon ones memory.-Town

FASHION LETTER.

through tne medium OF the press We
have all known for ever so long that
Mrs. Langtry iourneyed to Paris es.
pecially to have Jean Worth build her q
fresh set OF frocks with which she
might dazzle the dear American public.
This bit of information has interested
the feminine portion Of the community
tremendously, and should not be sur
prised il. in the long run. it counted for
az much in the filling Of the Garden
Theatre as the play, or Mrs. Langtry
herself.
1t is not every day that one has the
chance to see 30 happily exploited cree
tiors fresh from the hands-perhape l
ought to say brains-of the great maker
of modes.
Mrs. Langtry may have her faults,
but che certainly possesses to a superla-
tive degree the virtue Of wearing clothes
well.
/ confess frankly that the clothes
were responsible for my being at the
opening night Of Mrs. Langtry's season.
First nights, whatever their charms
in former yeare, are no longer amusing.
The players usually give their poorest
performances through nervousness, or
because their clothes have gone wrong,
or because they feel that they have not
gotten all the wrinkles out Of their re-
spective roles. which they must do in
order to have perfect fit.
The audience is made up, for the
most part, of critics of one kind or an
other, whose every expression makes it
clear to the most casual observer that
they are there strictly for business, and
pleasure must not dare to enter in.
Why, you can almost see. and fire.
auently hear. the mental hammers with
which every competent critic must be
thoroughly equipped.
The din OF them often gets into ones
esrs; sometimes with such persistency
that they seem ready to burst forth at
any moment into regular anvil chorus.
Now this is not the fault Of the critics
poor dears-for critics 'are built like
that" as Mrs. Trevelyan says, but it
certa:n My does create depressing at
mosphere, and as Modish likes to take
her pleasure lightly, l make point OF
avoiding first-nights when / can.
The quick change that l knew Mrs.
Langtry's frocks had made from the
atelier Of Jean Worth to the Garden
Theatre piqued my curiosity to zee the
really truly --latest thing from Paris" to
that degree that could not possibly
have waited even for the second night
to crafty it.
Icsnnot cay, though, that the really
truly --latest thing from Paris develop
ed any ideas that were radical depar-
lures from the things we are wearing
over here, except that Mrs. Langtry has
more etuff IN her skirts and less in her
bodices than have ever seen on any
one before. The tails OF her gowns
one muet say taile, it's So English. you
know-sre all but endless and sweep
the floor for yards behind her. l can
not cay that think endless tails add to
the grace OF any woman.
Mrs. Langtry became quite in
volved with hers several times during
the play, and their ungainly length
caused her to stumble perceptibly moro
than once.
Luckily, Louise, of London. who is
responsible for the gowning Of the other
vomen-and what responsibility it is
has locked the tails of their frocks
and brought them down to moderate

ROBERT DOLLAR is SAFE,
Reports of Loss of Nome Steamer
Were Untrue.

Seattle, Wash, Oct. PA special to
the Times from Port Townsend, Wash,
saws:
The schooner San Pedro, arriving this
morning with 1877 passengers direct from
Cape Nome, brings news which will al
lay all fears as to the safety of the
steamship Robert Dollar, for which some
uneIsiness was beginning to be felt
When the San Pedro left Nome on the
18th inst, the Dollar was in the 1larbor
and no announcement of her sailing date
had then been given out. There is great
competition at Nome for passenger traf-
fic and the San Pedro people think tho
vessel was held over in order to fill up
her accommodations.
While the San Pedro was at anchor
here, there was a stabbing affray aboard,
in which a man whose name could not be
asceltaned was severely cut in the alb
donen. The assalant was put in irons
and will be turned over to the Seattle
police 1t is said that the cutting was
the result of trouble between two of the
crew.

AFRAID OF HIS GRANDMOTHER.
Redoubtable Kaiser s ands in Awe of
Queen Victoria.

New York, Oct. 24.-Lord Salisbury's
explanations of the motives of the
AngIo-German alliance will find a SYM
pathetic hearing at BalmOral, says the
Trihnne's London correspondent. 1t is
current saying that the only person Of
whom the German emperor stands in
awe is his grandmother Queen Victoria
He is influenced by her and she has a
strong affection for him. Her SYM
pathies have always been excited when
England and Germany are working to-
gether in diplomacy. The two govern
ments already had a secret understand. !.
ing respecting African schemes, and
many of the best informed men in the
diplomatic world have been convinced
that it also includes possible con-
ting eencies in the far east. It is not in,
deed new thing for Lord Salisbury to
MAKE a secret arrangement with con-
ttnental powers. What is unusual is the
peculiar manner in which this fresh
compact has been sprung upon Europe

Prince Ching and Ii Hung Chang Propose
to Pay Powers for Losses and
Make New Treaties,
TROOPS TO STAY UNTIL PAID
ADMIT THAT SIEGE OF LEGATIONS WAS NATIONAL CRMEBUT
WANT TO BE RID OF ALL FOREIGN
- SOLD IERS.
New York, Oct. 24-A dispatch to the

New York, Oct. 24-A dispatch to the
Herald from Pekin, says:
A preliminary convention between
CHINA and the combined powers has been
proposed by Prince Ching and Lii Hung
Chang. 1t is as follows:
Article Laying siege to the lega-
tions of foreign ministers is a high
offence against one of the important
principles of international law. No
country can possibly tolerate such a
thing. China Acknowledges her great
fault in this respect and promises that
it will never occur again.
Article 2-China admits her liability
to pay an indemnity for the various
losses sustained on this OCCASION and the
powers will each appoint officials to ex-
anime and present all claims for a final
consultation and settlement.
ARTICLE 3-As to future trade and
general international relations, each
power should designate how these mat
ters are to be dealt with, whether the
old treaties should continue or new
conventions should be made slightly
adding to the old treaties or cancelling
the old treaties and negotiating new
ones. Any of these plans may be
adopted, and when China has approved
them further special regulations can be
made in each case as required.
Article 4-This convention will be
made by China with the combined
powers to cover the general principles
which apply alike to all. This settled.
the foreign ministers will remove the
seals they caused to be placed in various
parts of the tsung Ii yamen, and then
the yamen ministers may go to the va
men and attend to business as usual.
And further each power should arrange
its own special affairs with China so
that separate treaties may be settled in
due order. When the various items of
indemnity are all arranged properly, or
an understanding has been reached
about them, the powers will successiyely
withdraw their troops.
Article 5-The troops sent to China by

GUATEMALA DOING WELL.
Completion of Railroad Gives Them
Boom in Business.

Washington, Oct. 24.-The recent sue
cessful negotiations for the completion
of the Northern Railway of Guatemala
have had a stimulating effect on the
people of that republic, according to re-
port from Consul General McNally to
the state department. The completion
of'the railway, he says, will effect direct
communication between the Atlantic and
Pacific, and will no doubt attract ship
pers in the direction of New Orleans
and the gulf. Heretofore, while there
has been considerable import trade on
the Pacific side, that on the Atlantic
side has suffered transportation being an
impossbility, owing to the lack of rail-
way facilities from Ell Rancho to the
City Of Guatemala, distance of sixty
miles

NO MORE DANGER OF ICE.

Washington, Oct. 24.-Based on Gem
eral Chaffee's advices, the war depart
ment officials are convinced that all the
officers and troops included in the order
of evacuation have not only left Pekin,
but are now at Tien Tsin or near by.
The quartermaster's department has
made all arrangements for taking them
aboard ship so there is no longer much
danger of the troops being prevented
Thy ice from leaving North China.
1t is now said that in all probability
General Jas. III. Wilson, the second in
command in China will soon be detached
and will not remain in Pekn, according
to the original programme. Instead Of
having the negotiations for a final set
Element conducted through fully organ
lied commission in behalf of the United
States government as at first proposed,
it begins to appear that they will be con-
Quoted If there are to be any formal ne
gotiations, through the simple mechan-
ism off the American legation at Pekin,

dispatched to Minister Conger.

and half years the excess has reached
the enormous total of fourteen hundred
millions of dollars. A bridge built Of
Pittsburg steel, by American workmen,
now spans the Nile. Steel from the
mills at Bethlehem carry the traffic in
the elevated railway of London. En-
gnes from the Baldwin locomotive works
have been sent to Vladivostock to haul
the trains over the Trans-Siberian rail-
road and flour from American mills is
scattered the whole wide world over.
New enterprises have sprung up, rail-
roads have been built, sidetracks have
been heightened, because they were not
long enough to permit the heavy trains
to pass, and railroads have not cars
enough with which to haul the merchan-
disc clamoring for transportation"
He demonstrated that Imperialism,
militarism and trusts are but three hob
goblins originated to frighten political
children. Lincoln and Grant were charg-
ed with imperialism and militarism by
| the croakers of their day, but the re-
public still lives.
Briefly tracing McKinley's life from
childhood to the signing of the Paris
treaty. he said the American flag had
been raised to the highest dignity ever
experienced in the United States, and
that any man with brains enough to take
a headache recognizes it.
1.-THE Filipinos will be given their lib
erty,'' he said, but it will be a liberty
regulated by law, and that under the
Stars and Stripes. Wherever the flag
has been raised in honor and has right
to be, there it will remain so long as
William Mckinley is president"
Senator Carter has been criticized for
his action concerning the establishment
Of Fort Harrison at Helena, to the detri-
ment of Fort Missoula. He showed his
fearlessness in discussing all these ques-
tions land raised much laughter over one
local incident when discussing militar-
ism.
Figuring Missoula's quota in the al
legged army of imperialism at seven SOL
diers," he said: "tNhy, you had a regi-
nent here once, and clamored for more
then, and you clamor for more now"
The audience saw the point and cheered
heartily.
After ridiculing militarism as another
spook, he turned his attention to trusts,
and showed the insincerity of the demo-
cratic argument by citing their vote on
the resolution offered in congress to
