Murmur of Modish Millinery.

The black lace hat is again with us.
Steel and gold buckles and slides ap.
pear on the smart millinery.
Flower petals are pretty for brim
facings; they are also used for entire
hats.
Large, broad, fiat and light are the
adjectives which best describe the new
hats.
Black velvet, both in wide and mar
row widths, is distinctive feature of
millinery.
The hat with many brims is one of
the fads of the season; 1t may be sup
piled with two or five, as you like.
The little June roses In pink, arrang-
ed either in punches or wreathes, with
smart bow of black velvet, look
charming on black and white crino-
line hat
Crowns of roses, brims faced with
them or encircled with a wreath, are
fayorite ways Of arranging this most
popular of the artificial flowers. A
wreath Of tiny roses on the very edge
Of the brim is fancy of the moment.
While ostrich plumes are more e1-
tensively used in winter millinery they
appear on quite number of hats des-
tined for spring wear. They are not re-
stricted as to color. Black and white
are much used, but plumes harmonic
ing with the delicate color schemes of
hats are also favored. A pretty effect
is obtained by yelling large white
plume in white silk tulle.

The Chicago Tribune has been max

In q recent editorial The Tribune sums
up the results as follows;
AGAINST THE SHIP SUBSIDY BILL.
OF the Republican editors in Illinois,
Iowa, Wisconsin and Indiana who have
been asked by The Tribune for their
views concerning the ship subsidy bill
q majority are opposed to that meas

Others do not believe 1t will benefit In
the least the producers of the middle
west though they viii have TO pay a
pnrt Of the proposed subsidies. There
ARE others who believe natural causes
will build up the American merchant
marine in the course of time and thai
q resort TO subsidies Is unnecessary.
1t Is the good fortune Of the editors

be tolerably well acquainted with their
subscribers and their opinions. When
one Of these editors says the people

eddy so far as his constituency is con
cerned. lie is not making a random
guess. Therefore when a number Of
country editors express themselves in
reference to the ship subsidy bin as do
those whose opinions have been printed

BRIGHTER IN THE EAST.

Regarding Manchuria.
THAT "cRlsIs" is AGAIN AVERTED.
The Cars Government Gives Strong Assur-
ances of Its Disinterested Purposes ant
Declares That Manchuria viii Remair
an Integral Part of China-Troops Only
Kept There to Maintain Peace.

Washington, April 6.-The United
States government has received COM
munication from the government OF
Russia of unusual Importance. 1t
bears on the conditions in China and
particularly those relating to Man.
churia. The document has created a
profoundly favorable impression and
at the state department it is looked
upon as the most salutary develop
ment that has occurred for many
though the terms of the Russian COM
munication are withheld, it is known
that Russia takes occasion to give
strong assurances of the disinterested
purposes throughout her dealings
with China. AS to Manchuria it is
stated that Russia's course never has
varied in the determination to leave
that province an an integral part of
China and to retire the Russian troops
as rapidly as safety will permit. But,
as a more signal evidence of Russia's
purposes and as an evidence of the
emperor's devotion to the people of
peace, assurances of a definite and
satifactory character are now given
as to the execution of these purposes.
The belief is held in official quarters
that the assurances of Russia are so
sweeping as completely to avert the
threatened crisis in Manchuria.

Revolving STORIES TOLD.
Chinese Women Kill Themselves
When Mistreated by Soldiers of
the Foreign Armies.
OUTRAeES HAVE BEEN EXTENSIVE.
In Many Villages 1t Is Difficult to Find a
Female Between the Ages of 10 and so,
as the Crimes of the Soldiers Have Been
So Frequent That Women Have Prac-
tically Disappeared.

Washington, April GA recent re-
port at the state department tells a
dreadful story of wholesale suicide
of women in China. When n Chinese
matron is abused by white man she
notifies her own family and that of
her husband and announces that on
certain date she will depart this life.
No remonstrance is made, and inva-
riably the woman carries out her plan.
If she did not commit suicide she
would be ostracizied by her people
and compelled to change her mode of
life entirely.
The fate of the unmarried women
who are mistreated by the soldiers is
only little different. In some cases
they are killed by their relatives in
stead of committing suicide, but this
is only a form of self-destruction, as
they are entirely passive in the hands
of their friends. So extensive have
been the crimes of the white soldiers
that in many villages and small towns
women have practically disappeared.
1t is reported in this state department
report that in many villages it is diff
cult to find female person over the
age of 10 years and under the age of
so.
