Washington, Aug. 2S.-Ihe latest
phase of the diplomatic tangle involv-
ing the powers now interested in China
is the practical abandonment of objec-
tion to the form Of Ii Hung Changs
credentials. At least it may be said
that these objections have been sus-
pended for the time being. The point
of attack on the part of the powers
| which are opposing the recognition OF
Ii Hung Chang as a plenipotentiary is
now the authority of the ttular Chinese
government to issue any Credential
worthy of recognition. In other words
admitting that Ii Hung Changes Gre
dentials We're properly issued by En-
perOr kwang Su the contention is that
that monarch, being a fugitive and
powerless cannot, by himself or through
his agent, Ii Hung Chang, enter into
/ any engagement or give any guarantee
which the Chinese people as Il whole
VIII accept as binding. This subject is
now receiving the careful attention of
the department of state.
| Meanwhile the department and Min
lister WI are in ignorance as to the
whereabouts Of Ii Hung Chang and
from the fact that nothing has been
heard from him for four days at least.

| future course is due mainly to Court
Waldcrsee's speeches since the taking of
Pekin. These have indicated that he was
going on an extended campaign and that
the fan Of the Chinese capital was only
the initial step in a comprehensive pro-
gram requiring the presence Of large
army. Just what this means i not clear,
but il has at least created much surprise
in Washington ana some other capitals.
the differences over Ii Hung ChanS's
credentials are three fold one view, in
Guiding that Of the United states, Is that
the credentials are acceptable; another Is
that they have never been shown to carry
complete authority, while the third view
is that the original credentials were valid
at the time given but have since become
invalid through the flight ~ the Emperor

collapse of the Chinese government. The
question of credentials does not seem SO

The sensational disclosures Of Tues
day night at the meeting of the second
branch of council. when the allegation
was made that Councilman Ross T.
Chew had been offered brIbe of $500
to stay away from a meeting OF council
in the interest OF the application for
license of G. A. LandmeSser & Co., own
ers OF the White Cloud" hotel and sa-
loon in the Second ward, and the fur
Their allegation that City Solicitor Boyce
was offered $500 to give "the right kind
OF an opinion" on the special bond prop
osltIon made to council by two Of the
rejected applicants for license, Fish ana
Whkle, created sensation throughout
the city. Although 1t was known with
in 4 limited circle that these reprehensl-
Bile and unlawful tactics were being at
tempted In the interest OF some Of the
rejected ones. yet to the public at large
the publication Of the revelations at
tending councils meeting were in the
nature of complete surprise.
1t is now generally agreed that the
disclosures will have one effect at least,
without any doubt-faIlure on the part
Of all Of the rejected applicants in any
future attempts to secure license now,
for public opinion has been aroused ard
councilmen are aware OF 1t, and It Is
doubtful whether more than handful
Of the city legislators could now be in
duced to vote in favor of license for AIRY
Of the applicants. Though thai: votes
In favor Of license might be honest and
with an entire absence Of bribery. yet
the people would not believe 1t. Ioun-
cffmen know this and It Is believed viii
not toi.e any chances by supporting
these applicants to whom license mar
already Seen refused by council.
As the Inteiligencar stated yesterday
morning, there is a well defined scnlI-
ment for bringing this bribery matter to
the attention of the criminal court
grand jury. which meets the latter part
Of this month or early In June.
It is said that the attempt to brihs
Councilman r. T. Chew was made in
the presence of two other councilman,
Messrs. Frank Healey and Edward Rat
cline. Both Messrs. Ratcliffe and Hea-
ley stated at Tuesday nights meeting
of council that such attempts had been
made upo them.
Mr.. Boyce, the city solicitor, declines
to discuss the attempt made to inilu-
ence his special bond opinion by prof
fer of 5000, but there is no doubt Of the
attempt to bride having been made. Mr..
Boyce was congratulated on all sides
yesterday upon the exhibition Of ofFcInl
rroblty he has given. Very modestly,
be regrets the publicity that has result
ed, and declines to discuss the matter
for publication.

PARIS. April 2.-Spring styles, espe-
cially such as appertain TO that important
spring vesture, the tailor made" are
now in full vogue, and prove as attractive
to the eye by their variety of form and
conception as they are remarkable for
their careful finish. Cloths of all kinds
and styles are again to the fore, and with
way of trimming, TO which these fine
cloths lend themselves so readily. AS to
colors, the dull pastels have by no means
suppianted the becoming tans. beiges,
and greys. which this season are lighter
than ever in shade, bordering upon white
for ordinary wear
One Of the nattiest frocks from Rob-
erts famous establishment is a charming
specimen of Fashions latest developments.
1t is made of fine satin cloth of a SUEDE"
shade so light as TO appear almost creamy
in tint The skirt is faultless in fit and
hang, the upper part consisting of a cir
cular yoke forming deep points at the
sides and front and losing itself at the
back under a single boX-pait, which hides
the placquet. The skirt PORTION flares
gracefully and is attached to The yoke
under a single row of strappng of the
same CLOTH. stitched with silk, and the
decoration is repeated at the hem OF the
skirt. The lining consists of deep cream
colored satin, according with the latest
preferences of dressmalers, who claim
that satin lining outweaIs three of taffeta,
and that it conforms better with the fash
ionable designs. The jacket of suede
