THE SHIRT WAIST.

Behold me,
am the Shirt Waist,
The universal slip
That woman wears
And revels in
With wild, abandoned joy,
As unrestrained
As I am.
Had Eve but had
A shirt waist on,
When she passed out
The garden gate,
Her hardship would have seemed
A holiday;
Had Cleopatra had me on
When she swept down the Nile
Meath silken sails,
She would have cast
Her sunshades far
Out on the rolling tide;
And Venus, she of Medici,
If decked in me,
Would surely
A new woman be.
Without me,
| Woman's wear is but a name
For fetters and for bonds.
l have all seasons for my own,
But in the summer time
burst into ten thousand hues
That make the rainbow pale
And beg the sun to shine
No more upon the rain.
l weave
The purple shadows of the eve
Into my web;
The rose-tint and the cherry-ripe,
The apple bloom,
The violet and the golden-rod,
The chrome chrysanthemum,
The dazzling dahlia and the tulip show,
The painted pansy
In thousand dyes,
The vari-verdancy ofgrasses in theiields
The crimson, gold and scarlet of
The frost-kissed forest leaves,
The multi-colored breadth of earth
And sea and sky add air,
And lambert moon and silver sun,
And topaz stars
Are not arrayed like most of me,
When Summer comes to let
Ny gorgeous glories loose
And spread them over the world.
I fit all sizes,
And l gather in
The female form devine,
From Greenland's icy mountains
To India's corrol strand,
And no one says me nay.
The tickle Goddess Fashion
Fits
To parts unknown
When appear,
For I have come to stay,
I, the Shirt Waist;
I, the one fixed fashion
OF the fair.

THE CABINET DECISION.
There Will Be No Extra Session of
Congress During the Pres
ent Summer.
THE CONDITIONS DO NOT WARRANT II.
the Cabinet After Listening to Lc-
gal Opinions Presented by Secre-
tary OF War Root and Attorney
General NnOx.

Washington, June 5.-The cabinet
unanimously decided that existing
conditions do not warrant the calling
of an extra session of congress this
summer. Secretary Root and Atty.
Gen. Knox both rendered legal opin
ions to the effect that the authority
to govern the Philippines vested in
the president by the Spooner amend
ment was ample. These opinions were
concurred in by all the members Of
the cabinet.
The decision of the cabinet was an.
nounced after the cabinet meeting IN
the following statement issued by
Secretary Cortelyou:
The president has determined that
existing conditions do not require OIL
warrant calling congress toge thei
during the present summer or making
any change in the policy hitherto
pursued and announced in regard tc
the Philippine islands,"
1t can be authoritatively statec
that the Dingley rates upon goods
from the Philippines entering the
United States will remain in force a:
heretofore. The president will pur
into effect such changes in the tariff
duties on good going into the Phil
ippines as the Taft commission may
recommend. The establishment o.
civil government, so-called, in tn,
archipelago, can proceed without in
terruption as soon as the militar.
authorities consider the zine ripe 70

THE CHINESE INDEMNITIES.
The Plan of Modus vivendi Re.
ceiving Earnest Attention of
Those Interested.

Washington, june 5.-The plan of z
modus viyendi on the subject of the
Chinese indemnitics is now receiving
the earnest attention of those inter
ested in the Chinese negotiations, tn.
purpose being to prevent the indem
nifty question from causing an inter
ruption i'll the concert of the powers
ana at the same time to remove the
indemnity issue itself so that prog
ress can be made on the remaining
subjects of negotiation.
As result of the exchanges of the
last few days the question has re-
solved itself to about the following
basis:
There is no further issue as to the
total of indemnity, that being agreed
upon by all the powers at S337. 100000
But there remains the question OF
how this amount shall be paid. The
Russian suggestion, which appears tc
have the approval of a majority of the
powers, is that China issue bonds for
the full amount. and that all the pow.
ers then unite in giving a Joint in.
dorsemeat, or guaranty, of the pay.
ment of them. The desire has been
not only to secure the assent of a ma.
Jority of the powers to this scheme
but the unanimous approval of all OF
them. This, however, has not been
accomplished up to the present time.
and it is for this reason that the
modus vivendi is now being consid
cred as a possible means of bringing
about united action.
The British government is not IA
vorable to the Russian proposition,
and the British view has taken form
in plan to have China issue her own
bonds to the several governments,
each government thereafter adopting
its own course as to an individual
guarantee. The policy of the United
States concerning the Russian propo-
sition was made known in part dur
ing the presidents western trip, al
though the final course of this govern
ment is still considered open and il
the cause for the extended confer
ences between the ambassadors and
Secretary Hay which have been in
progress since Mr.. Hays return.
The chief difficulty which the Unit
ed States finds as to a joint guaran-
tee is that the constitution does not
authorize the executive to guarantee
bonds in the absence of the approval
of congress. As to the attitude of
congress, it has been stated during
The negotiations that it is doubtful
whether the legislative branch would
approve II joint guarantee of such q
vast total OF bonds.
Moreover, the American view has
been that four per cent. bonds as con-
templated by Russia. would not be y
prudent investment for the United
states, since the United States read:-
ly sells bonds at 2h per cent, wherc-
as Russla's four per cent. securities
sell at 9S cents on the dollar.
