Six shirt waists should meet the re-

To have sufficient stock of blouses
to be able tC ring the changes in rou-
tine lengthens the life of each one con-
siderably. Therefore two Of Gingham,
two of plain silk for afternoon wear
and one or two of smarter nature for
parties would not be too many, while,
needless to say, the more the better.
And when these are manufactured at
home their cost is really so'very slight
that one is justified in the extraya-

MINISTER WU'S RECALL.
Not Yet Received, But May Arrive
at Any Time-WiH Return to
China When Relieved.

Washington, Nov. 4.-Mr. Wu, the
city, last night, from his trip to Ann
Arbor, Mich, where he went to deliv-
er an address to the students. Re-
plying to questions on the subject,
Mr.. WI said he had not received any
notice of his recall to China, step
which Peking dispatch of Saturdays
date said had been determined upon,
nor had he received any intimation
that he would be asked to return. AS
he has therefore expressed himself,
the minister would not be surprised
in the least if such action were con-
templated by his government, as he
now has served on the mission here
for more than a year longer than the
customary time allowed by the for
eign office at any one place, viz, three
years. He is simply holding over
now, and his recall and the appoint
ment of a successor would be simply
in line with esta ablished practice.
Mr.. Wu's tenure has been very sat-
isfactory to the administration, and
it is understood that it was through
representations of the officials here,
conveyed to the Chinese government,
that it was continued.
When asked whether he would re.
turn to China if he were recalled, Mr.
WI replied with the following:
''Why shouldn't I? All my interests
are there

WAS A BLOODY ENGAGEMENT.
While the British Lost Heavily, the
Beers were RepuIsed with
Much Greater Loss.

Pretoria, Nov. 4.-Further details
have been received regarding the at
tack by the Beers under Command
dant-General Louis Botha last week
upon Col. Benson's column near
Brakenlaagte, eastern Transvaal. 1t
appears that Gen. Botha, who had
been joined by another big comman-
do aggregating a thousand men, at
tackled Col. Benson's rear guard, Oc-
tober 80, on the march, and captured
two guns, but was unable to retain
them. Col. Benson fell mortally
wounded in the fight.
Maj. Wools-Sampson took COM
mand, collected the convoy, and took
up a position for defense about 500
yards from the intrenchment pre-
pared by the Beers. The captured
guns were so situated that neither
side could touch them.
The Beers made desperate efforts
to overwhelm the whole British force
charging repeatedly right up to the
British lines, and being driven back
each time with heavy loss. The de-
fense was stubbornly and successful
ly maintained through the whole of
VIC 1ouoWIHS udy anu tne succeed
ing night, until Col. Barter, who had
marched all night from Bushman's
Kop, brought relief in the morning
of November 1. The Beers then re-
tired. Their losses are estimated as
between three hundred and four hum
dred
Col. Benson did not long survive.
Not only did Gen. Botha direct the
attack, as already cabled, but he per-
sonally shared in the fighting.

PLAIN TALK FOR FILIPINoS.
Public Discussion of the Draft OF
the Act Against Treason
and Seditfon.

Manila, Nov. 4.-There was q pub
lie discussion before the Philippine
commission, yesterday, of the draft
of the act against treason and sedi-
ton. Many prominent Filipinos were
present. Vice-Gov. Wright explained
the object of the bill, saying that the
Spanish code was unsatisfactory.
There are a number of people liv-
ing in the Philippines" remarked
Mr.. Wright, "who, so long as there is
no punishment for treason, will take
advantage of the fact to clog the
wheels of the insular government. 1t
must not be overlooked that turbu-
lent spirits exist in the pacified prov
inces. The masses of the people are
susceptible of inf1ammatory utter
ances, and liable to be Influenced by
scheming demagogues. 1t would be
ineXcusable weakness on the port OF
the commission to allow the people to
be aroused to deeds of violence who
are now gradually drifting to the pur-
suits of peace.
1.-THE recent renewed attempts at
insurrection in the island of Samar
and the province of Batangas Ouzon)
and at few other points, due to
noisy Filipino agitators, have caused
feeling of unrest in the minds of
both Filipinos and Americans; and
the effect of their continuance would
be to make impossible the very
things these agitators claim they
most desire. Such endeavors serve
to recruit the ranks of the insurgents
and to postpone the era of good feel
ing and fellowship which must come.
''No excuse exists for secret po-
litical organizations. Their intent
must be evil. No matter what may
have been the opinions of the Fill
pinos regarding the sovereignty of the
American government, the fact re-
mains that the Americans are here,
and, moreover, here they intend to
stay"
The bill was then read in Spanish.

INTENSELY DRAMATIC SCENE.
The Excommunicated Priest, Father
Crowley, Defies the Author
ity of the Bishop.

Chicago, Nov. 3.-There was an in
tenseiy dramatic scene in Holy Name
Cathedral to-day, when, in the pres
ence of fully one thousand parishion-
ers, eJremiah j. Crowley, the eXcom-
was publicly humiliated by order of
the authorities of the church.
Father Crowley had entered the
church unobserved, passing up the
center aisle, and had taken a seat al
most under the pulpit. Solemn high
mass was being celebrated at the time.
When the presence of Father Crowley
became known, Rev. Francis j. Bar
ry, chancellor of the archdiocese of
Chicago, was hurriedly sent for. Upon
entering the cathedral he went
straight to the seat where the excom-
municated clergyman was kneeling
and ordered him to leave the church.
Father Crowley refused to go, say
ing:
''Put me out if you dare"
The strain was intense, and one
woman tainted. There was no resort
to force, however. Chancellor Barry
signalled to a man in the choir loft,
and the sound of the organ ceased
and the singing of the choir was
hushed.
The priests in the altar stopped
the solemn service at the end of the
"Gloria" and walked to the benches
and laid aside their golden vest
ments. The altar boys marched out
of the sanctuary through side door,
o1o
followed. The next moment the hun
dreds of incandescent lights in the
vaulted arches were eXtinguished and
the candle lights on the altar were
put out.
The strain was broken when Chan
cellor Barry appeared in the pulpit
and said:
''Owing to the presence in this sa-
cred edifce of an excommunicated
priest the solemn high mass has been
suspended. We will proceed with a
low mass"
No sermon was delivered, however,
and the mass was at an end before
the congregation was calm again. The
parishioners fingered around the ca
thedral and watched the deposed
priest as he hurried away. None
spoke to him.
In statement issued last night Fa.
ther Crowley insisted that it had
been his desire to avoid involving any
of his brother priests in contesting
the order depriving him of the priv
ilege of worshipping in Catholic
churches, and that, accordingly, he
had attended the church of Arch
bishop Feehan's own parish, which is
the cathedral. He announced that he
should continue to attend the serv-
ices of the Roman Catholic church.

THE PLAGUE AT LIVERPOOL.
The Government is Not Particularly
Alarmed, But VIII Exercise
All Due Caution.

Washington, Nov. 3.-With the in
formation so far in the possession OF
the marine hospital service authori-
ties as to the outbreak of plague in
Liverpool and Glasgow, this govern
ment does not regard these cities as
infected ports. The utmost care,
however, is being exercised by OFF,
cials here, to prevent the plague from
entering Atlantic ports of the United
States through incoming vessels from
Liverpool and Glasgow. All such ar
rivals will be subjected to the most
rigid examination. The members Oh
crews of the vessels who are
more likely to have been nearer the
scene of the outbreak than the ordi-
nary passengers, will be examined
with greatest care.

SUPPLIES FOR INSURGENTS
Mostly Carried by Small Boats on
Dark NiGhts-Capture of Lus-
bans COmmissary.

Manila, Nov. 4.-Advices from Cat
balogan, Samar, say it is we'll known
that in spite of the fact that all ports
of Samar are closed, supplies still
reach the insurgents. Most of this
work is done during dark nights by
small boats from the island of Leyte.
Every available gunboat is now en-
deavoring to prevent this.
The capture of Lusban's commits
sary has proved a great blow to the
insurrection, as it renders future sup
plies very precarious.
Conditions in the island of Leyte
are very annoying to Gen. Smith. A
large number of junks are used with
the express object of aiding the insur-
gents in Samar, covering the move
ments of fugitives and landing pro-
visions and clothing.

Roosevelt has appointed Thursday,
November %, as a day of national
by proclamation as fol-
lows:
A Proclamation,
The season is nigh when, ac-
cording to the time-hallowed Gus
tom of our people, the president
appoints day as the especial oc-
casion for praise and thanksgiving
to God.
This thanksgiving finds the
people still bowed with sorrow for
the death of a great and good
president. We mourn President
Mckinley, we so loved and hon
ored him; and the manner of his
death should awaken in the
breasts of our people a keen
anxiety for the country, and at
the same time a resolute purpose
not to be driven by any calamity
from the path of strong, orderly,
popular liberty which, as nation,
we have thus far safely trod.
Yet, in spite of this great dis
aster, it is nevertheless true that
no people on earth have such
abundant cause for thanksgiving
as we have. The past year in
particular has been one of peace
and plenty. We have prospered in
things material, and have been
able to work for our own uplift-
ing in things intellectual and
spiritual. Let us remember that,
hoc hnor, rrir
will be expected from us; and
that true homage comes from the
heart as well as from the lips and
shows itself in deeds. We can
best prove our thankfulness to
the Almighty by the way in
which, on this earth and at this
time, each of us does his duty to
his fellow men.
Now, therefore, /, Theodore
Roosevelt, president of the United
States, do hereby designate as a
day of general Thanksgiving.
Thursday, the 2Sth of this present
November, and do recommend
that throughout the land the peo-
pie cease from their wonted occu-
pations, and that at their several
homes and places of worship rev.
ercntly thank the Giver- of all
good for the countless blessings
of our national life.
In witness whereof ] have
hereunto set my hand and caused
the seal of the United States to be
affixed.
Done at the City of Washington
this second day of November in
the year of our Lord One thou
sand nine hundred and one, and Of
the independence of the Unit.d
States the one hundred and TWEEN
ty-sixth.
Signed]

opinion, in which the said that the
contract of a married woman in
Tennessee, to be governed by the laws
of Alabama, was void, and that the
courts of Tennessee would not enforce
such an instrument under the plea of
coverture. Under the law of Alabama
a married woman can contract with
the same freedom as an unmarries,,
woman, while in Tennessee the rule
is different. The decision Of the chan
cellor that the law of Tennessee gov
erned raises an interesting question OF
conflict of laws, which the supreme
court will be called upon to decide.
