The Revival OF Steel.

Steel, as is predicted, will be fash.
ionable again, and as gray is always
much worn in the spring, the combina-
ton of the two will insure some
charming effects. Steel is to be much
used on the half-mourning gowns OF
the fashionable English women, which
may mean an advent OF steel-trimmed
black gowns on this side OF the sea.
At some OF the recent fashionable
English weddings steel was seen on
toques. Sallow people, to whom black
is unbecoming, will find that cutsteel
trimmings about the neck remove all
it's disadvantages in this way. There
Is something in the sparkle OF the sill
very gray that brings out any latent
pink In the cheeks and increases the
brightness of the eyes. Steel orna-
ments look uncommonly well in gray
or white hair.

ATTACKS ON Mr.. LOOMS
WILL BE DISCUSSED WHEN EE RE-
TURNS TO WASHINGTON.
Regarded as Being the Work of Irre-
spoDsibIe NewSpapers-StHte-
mcnt of the Charge.

The future of Minister Loonlis depends
upon the conference which will be held at
The State Department between Secretary
Hay and himself when the minister reaches
Washington. Until the Secretary has had
an opportunity to talk freely with the min
lister as to the conditions III Venezuela, 1t
cannot be known positively whether or not
he will return to his post. Mr.. Loomis has
been the object of bitter attack by some
of the Venezuelan newspapers, Aot solely
because of the asphalt controversy, but also
because he was charged with making false
reports to his government touching the in
surrectionary movement in Venezuela. The
minister did inform the State Department
of the conditions as he saw them. and of
the prospects of the revolutionary move
ment. The Venezuelan government Could
not have direct knowledge of the minister s
report. but because these We're followed by
the appearance of three United States war
ships in Venezuelan waters they came to
the swift conclusion that the minister lad
reported very menacinS and serious
revolutionary movement which the gov
ernmeut organs were trying their best 20
minimize.
tac&inS Mr.. LOomiS in print and have sue
CeeGed in making his lot unpleasant 1t
is only fair to state that the Venezuelan
charge here asserts positively that these
attacks were made by irresponsible news
papers and that the government was not
behind them and deprecated them. If Mr..
LComis confirms this view and he cares to
return to Caracas he will be instructed to
do So
It is expected that Minister Loomis will
reach New York Wednesday week, for the
gunboat Scorpion was dispatched to La
GUayra especially to make sure that he
should connect at Kingston, Jamaica, with
the regular passenger steamer coming to
New York. There is present intention
of sending the North Atlantic squadron to
Venezuela, as rumored, for, above
stated the government cannot decide how
this matter shall be treated until Mr..
Loomis has been personally consulted The
squadron which is at Culebra Island en-
gagged in maneuvers is about to head north
in a few days One or two of the vessels
Will be sent first to Kingston, Jamaica, but
the delay will be temporary and the whole
squadron will soon be under way for Tomp-
