Woman's Fancy Waist.

The fancy waist, with soft tucked
frolt and bishop sleeves, is shown
among the latest models, and can be
relied upon as correct for the coming
as well as the present season. The
smart May Manton example Illus
trated in the large drawing includes
the newest features and is eminently
well suited to the odd waist, as well as
to the entire costume. AS shown the
material Is white crepe de chene, with
cream guipure over white silk, but all
soft clinging materials are appropriate,
louislne silk, taffeta moussellne, challie,
cashmere, albatross and the like with
lace, velvet or applique as trimming.
The foundation, or lining, is snugly
The back proper is plain and seamless,
but the right front is tucked and ex-
tends we'll over the left, the closing
being effected beneath the left bre-

fully shaped and give a most satisfac-
tory effect, while actually involving
little labor. The sleeves include the
latest novelty in the deep pointed
cuffs. but can be made with the sim

TRADE WITH TROPICS.
More Than a Million Dollars Worth
Of Imports for Each Business
Day Of the Year.

Imports of tropical and sub-tropical
products into the United States CON
tinue to increase, as shown by figures
prepared by the Treasury Bureau of
Statistics. The demand of the tenn
perate zones upon the tropics for ar
ticles of daily use as foodstuffs or for
use in manufacturing seems to in.
crease with each year. and with the
Increase Of facilities Tor interchange
between the tropics and tho temperate
cones. Coffee. sugar india rubber,
fibers. tobacco. fruits and nuts, gums.
cotton, spices, cabinet woods, indigo,
cork. dye woods, sponges, barks for
the manufacture of quinine and num-
erous other articles from the tropics
now form a large proportion of the
exports of the United States, and de-
spite the reduction In prices In many
cases the total values are steadily in.
creasing. Add to this the subtropicai
products, such as unmanufactured
silk, tea, rice and other articles of
this class, and the grand total aggre.
gates more than million dollars for
each business day of imports of a
character which cannot or at least
are not at present produced In the
United States in sufficient quantities
TO meet the requirements of ou pop
ulation.
In sugar and coffee the United
States is the largest consumer of the
world. and In many other of the trop
ical products. such as unmanufactured
silk. india rubber. fruits and nuts
and spices, we are among the largest
importing nations. In coffee, owing
to the reduction In price. the figures
of 1901 are not as large as those OF
some earlier years. notably 1894 and
1895, though the quantity imported ex
ceeds that of earlier years. with pos
sibly one or two exceptions.
How much of this class of our i'm
portatons may be in the future sup
piled by the tropical territory which
has recently come under the control
of the United States is matter foi
future development. but II Is at least
interesting to know that nearly one
half of the importations of the pres
ent time are tropical and sub-tropica
IN character and that nearly all are

cLEW TO CONSPIRACY.

persists in refusing to disclose his

strict surveillance and escape is inn
possible. The letter taken from mis-
person was mailed at Los Angeles

was shot 1t contains two circulars in

word Emma" presumably referring
to Emma Goldman. This much alone

mixture of letters and numerals, but
