WU-OTIs INCIDENT CLOSED.

The Chinese Minister Says He Intend
ed No Criticism of the Government.
The incident growing out Of Minister
Wus criticisms of General Otis in his let
ter to the Society Of the Genesee is prob
ably closed satisfactorily. Minister WI
has disavowed to the State Department
any intention OF criticising the govern
ment Of the United States.
It is understood that Mr.. WI believed
the exclusion of the Chinese from the
Philippines to have originated with Gen
eral Otis and not with the War Depart
ment or any other branch of the govern
ment, and in speaking Of his General Otis)
having been ill-advised, it is understood
there was in Mr.. Wu's mind the idea that
some local representations in the Philip
pines had operated upon his mind to in
duce him to exclude the Chinese.
The Chinese minister was seen this
morning in regard to the publication of his
letter declining to be present at the Gem
nesee banquet in New York Thursday night.
The minister disavowed the slightest in
tention of criticising the official acts of
this government. and emphasized the
strictly confidential nature Of his letter of
declination. He stated that the publica-
ton Of his letter had defeated the very
purpose for which 1t was written namely,
to avoid saying things unpleasant to Gen
era, Otis, for whom he has the highest re
spect, and whom, he knew, was to be the
guest of honor at the society's banquet.
Had he wished to express his views Of the
generals course toward the Chinese in the
Philippines publicly, he would have at
tended. and given utterance to his mind on
the subject. It was to avoid the latter
course that he wrote his letter declining
the invitation.
He expressed his deep regret that his let
ter has gained publicity, and thus given
offense to General Qus-the very happening
he had desired most earnestly to AVOID. He
felt that he couN not dismiss the society $
courteous invitation with merely an abrupt
decfination to be present, and therefore
stated his reasons for his non-attendancs.

GONE UP IN SMOKE.
Lot of Old Hawaiian Stamps Cremat-
ed at the Post Office.

Fifty-seven- thousand eight hundred dol
lars worth of old Hawaiian stamps went
up in smoke today They were the rem
nants of the republic of Hawaii and de-
stroyed by order of the Postmaster Cen
eral. 1t is usual to destroy all old stamps
as soon as they go out of use, and when the
United States annexed Hawaii all the
stamp of the island were called in and new
ones substituted. The substitutes were the
regulation kind used throughout the states.
The cremation took place in the engine
room of the post office building and Chief
Scott of the stamp division saw to 1t per-
sonally that they were all destroyed. Next
week $4,000 one and two-cent postal cards
will feed the flames.

NEW YORK, February 9.-The snow
storm which set in about o'clock this
morning is interfering with the movement
of outgoing ocean steamers. The Cunard
liner Lucania, which left her dock shortly
before 10 o'clock. anchored off quarantine,
the air being so thick with snow that Cap
tain Dutton did not care to run the risk of
losing his way while going down the chan
mel.
Al Sandy Hook the wind was blowing
from the north and the snow was SO thick
that it was impossible for the marine OBJ
server TO make out the ship channel. The
Lucania is the only steamer that mas ven
tured out from dock thus far today.

DENOMINATIONS EXPECTED.

vanced as Before Recommended.


vanced M Before Recommended.
It is expected that the President will Mon
day next renominate all the officers con-
nected with the brilliant naval victory off
Santiago July 8, 1895. whose nominations
for advanced rank failed of action in the
Senate many months ago. The new nomi-
nations will be identical in character with
those formerly sent to the Senate. with this
difference: The operation Of the personnel
law has already advanced many Of the off,
GERS whose names were on the list, and
consequently the department is obliged to
make some recommendations to carry out
the spirit Of the board of instructions. This
Encouragement has, however, not affected
the standing Of any Of the admirals. Rear
Admiral Sampson is advanced eight num-
bers, to rank after Rear Admiral Howell
the senior officer in his grade, and next be-
low Admiral Dewey. Rear Admiral Schley
Is advanced six numbers, to rank next be-
low Rear Admiral Sampson. The order Of
advancement in the case of the other off,
GERS is practically the same as in the orig
inal nominations.

THE ACCESSIBILITY OF
MATERNAL MATCHMAKING.

1t is always an open question as to
whether mothers should select hus-
bands for their daughters. OF course
there is a lot to say on both sides. So
far as the mother is concerned, it is I'M
deniable that really she is in the better
position to judge the qualities of
young man than the daughter,
The mother looks at the lover with
unbiased views. Hers is no great ro-
mantle love dream. Her time for thar
has long gone by, and today she stands
as a guardian to her daughter watch
ing her interests and always wary OF
undesirable suitors.
She herself has benefited by the expe-
rience of her romantic period and 1t is
to the betterment of her daughter that
she has made up her mind to step be-
tween her and any sutton who appears
to her unsatisfactory.
OF course the daughter has her own
views on the subject, but undoubtedly
if for one moment she were to sit down
to analyze her feelings it would not
take her long to come to the conclusion
that she had forgotten everything for
love.
What does she care whether he has
money or what faults he may have.
She likes his appearance, his conduct
seems perfect-in fact, she is desper-
ately in love- And with girl in this
condition all arguments are futile
Then 1t is the duty of the mother to
step in with tactful diplomacy.
1t is not necessary for the mother to
rush in and say. Il forbid you marry
ing this man."
OF course any girl with spirit would

tons Now you see the idea. You but
ton your ruffle to your slip and by this
means you may change the former as
often as you please. You may even APP
peaR as though you wore a new petit
coat every day. Better still, your ruff1e
may be of the most gorgeous silk and

Only be sure to make your ruffle deep

DO you need an evening hat, and have
you an old tulle one left over from last
summer? l mean one of those Span
ishy things that sit over your left ear.
Well, let me tell you how you may
make an entirely chic winter hat out of
it. Sew around and around on its upper
surface rows of shirred quarter inch
black velvet ribbon. You know how
mean. You begin at the center and
you work your way in widening circles
to the outer brim. OF course, you sew
this shirred ribbon by, one edge only.
On the other edge join scant frilling
of half inch yellow lace.
You have no idea what a fluffy, fresh
appearance this will give your fattened
tulle crown. Next buy large sable Cor

left brim of the hat. starting in the

tail passed through rhinestone buckle
in such manner that it droops slightly

pretty roses, with their foliage, to the
band which tits your hat, and you will
have duplicate of stunning French
chapeau which l saw yesterday in a
Fifth avenue shop. You won't pay the
Fifth avenue price for the hat either.
The latest waist-I nearly said shirt

the lower parts of the sleeves, which
bulge into puffs confined into a tuck

with a tie of the waist goods, which
fastens in front with a little medallion
of the goods, on which is embroidered
in contrasting colors the wearer's mon

stitched material, fastening with the
same monogram, which also appears
on the left sleeve a little below the
shoulder.

HYGIENE AS THE
BEST OF COSMETICS.

The only way to really free the face
from all superficial impurities, includ-
ing the frequently abnormal flow of oil
from the glands as well as the dead
particles of the scurf skin, which is al
ways renewing itself, is by friction and
soap and water.
A cancels hair face scrubbing brush
enables the clogged pores to throw off
the hardness and congested secretions,
and the friction from 1t is the best
stimulant for the skin.
To use the brush dip it in water as
warm as can be pleasantly borne, soap
it and scrub. Be careful to rinse all
the soap out of the pores, for to clog
the pores of the skin with particles of
soap would be quite as injurious as to
distend them with any other foreign
substance. Use the scrubbing brush at
least once in twenty-four hours.
Freckles are a stain from the pig
mentary deposit which is below the
cuticle. 1t is perfectly obvious that the
best freckle lotion can be but tempo
rarily effective, since it only is possible
to treat the effect and not the cause of
the blemish.
Face Steamlng has done more harm
than good to the complexion of woman
kind Face steaming exhausts the nat
ural oils upon which the skin depends
for it's elasticity and softness and fire.
quently leaves the cuticle dry and
parChed.
To soften the congested matter where
blackheads are very obstinate the Aus
trian method is better than face steam
ing.
This method consists of the applica-
ton of cloths dipped in hot water. Aft
err half an hour or more the congested
pores readily yield their contents upon
pressure.
Needless to say fresh air and a
healthy life are the finest complex
ion producers known, yet by them
selves they seem of little true value.
The country bred girl, Notwithstanding
her rosy cheeks, is often far less fair
than her town bred cousin. The former
uses poor soaps and pays little or no
attention to the care of her skin, while
the latter does just the opposite, thus
overcoming the disadvantage of life in
an unhealthy atmosphere.
