shown us how beautiful woman can
be in the short tunic worn by the
youths. But no doubt even then old
folks mentioned a prehistoric time
when girls were not so bold.
Probably the most notable case in
point is that of the justly celebrated
Maid of Orleans, who, like a sensible
woman, when she found herself in a
situation where mems clothes were
not only convenient. but necessary,
calmly wore them before all the world
and was undoubtedly the secret envy
and admiration of the quantity coiffed

The most interesting illustration of
all. and one over which it is a pleas

company, the delight of poets, play

who through the evil chances of ven

were driven to adopt the disguise of
masculine garments in order to wan

NEWJERSEY REPUBLICANS NOMINATE HIM IN CAUCUS ON
The NINETEENTH BALLOT
HOW SOUTH JERSEY LOST
ITS FAILURE TO GET TOGETHER RE-
SUITED IN THE ELECTION OF
DRYDEN

Trenton. Jan. % (SpeciaD.-At midnight last
night the supporters of John F. Dryden for
United States Senator were so we'll assured that
their candidate would be the successful one that
they declared it in plair terms and said the con-
test was all over but counting the vote of the
third or fourth ballot. Subsequent events proved
that, although their candidate ultimately
successful, they had made large miscount in
estimating the number of ballots.
The supporters of ex-Attorney General Griggs.
however, were not in the least disposed to accept
the declaration of Mr.. Dryden's friends as final,
and early this morning they began one of the
most active and aggressive campaigns for the
candidate for United States Senator that has
ever been known in New-Jersey. Several of the
ablest Republicans in the State, including First
Assistant Postmaster General Johnson and E. C.
Breckenridge, entered into the contest in behalf
of Mr.. Griggs, and for time seemed to be max
ing gains from the ranks of the other candi-
dates They worked hopefully and tirelessly
from early morning until the hour for holding
the caucus in the afternoon arrived, but the lead
which Mr.. Dryden had gained proved to be too
great for them to overcome.
Meanwhile Congressman Gardner was still
earnestly endeavoring to harmonze the South
Jersey members So eager he to do this that
he was willing to sacrifice himself if thereby the
selection or South Jerseyman to succeed the
late Senator Sewell could be achieved. Conference

caucus, when, by the united support of the
twenty-eight South Jersey members and of
from North Jersey, Mr. Stokes within
three votes of defeating Mr.. Dryden.
While the last conference of the morning was
being held in room Of the Trenton House the
supporters OF Mr.. Dryden became somewhat
anxious for the result, and this anxiety in
creased when it was announced that the sup

Jersey men Their suspense was relieved
when, just before noon. II was learned that the
conference had failed to agree upon any one OF
the four South Jersey candidates. and Mr.. Dry

There were many grievances expressed by
South Jersey Republicans that their opportunity
to elect the Senator had been thrown away

hWANG So RECEIVES MINISTER'S.
GOAL LONG SOUGHT ATTAINED AT LAST
THE CEREMONY


THE CEREMONY
Peking, Jan. 23.-The ministers of the foreign
powers here have attained the goal which has
been their aim since intercourse between China
and the powers began. They have been received
as representatives of sovereigns equal in rank to
the Chinese Emperor
The audiences yesterday between the Fmneror
and the ministers were held in the innermost
large hall OF the Forbidden City The Emperor
sat upon dais behind a table. There were four
princes at the back Of his chair and a dozen
officials at each side. The Empress Dowager
was concealed by a screen, according TO the
stories of the attendants and remained invisible
The audience chamber was furnished ornateiy
in contrast 10 the dingy rooms which served for
these audiences under the old regime The sec
retaries translated the addresses of the minis
ters. copies of which were handed to the EN-
peror. The replies TO these addresses We're de-
llvered by Prince Ching. The Emperor was
silent throughout the audiences. and remained
stolid and impassive. Formerly the Emperor
replied to the ministers in Manchu, and the
Prince interpreted what he said. To-day the
Emperor appeared an automaton, and the
secretaries Of the foreign ministers who were
present report that he looked weaker, less In
tellectual and more childish than prior to the
siege of the legations.
Sir Ernest Satow, the British representative
made the following address:
My august sovereign has charged to
press to your majesty his sincere desire to
the independence and the integrity of the Chi
Empire maintained intact, and that the
prosperity and happiness of the Chinese people
may be hastened by the removal OF obstacles to
the free exchange Of commodities. by the
tension of manufactures and by the utilization
of the resources of the soil. The wonderful i'm
provements in the means of communication be-
tween different parts of the world, through the
development of steam navigation, railways and
telegraphs, has brought all countries into much
closer relations than possible in former
times. Thus the nations Of the world are
enabled to profit by the lessons TO be learned
from each other in the art OF government. in
methods of education in the administration or
justice and the application of the public wealth
to the advantage of the whole people. IT, un-
der the enlightened rule of your majesty the
barriers which in the past hindered the free and
mutually advantageous intercourse of China
with the rest of the world be completely re-
moved, and her domestic institutions wisely
regulated it is certain that China, advancing
along the path OF progress, will attain to a
height of prosperity unknown in the past.
The ministers entered the Forbidden City at
the main gate, leaving their military escorts
outside. At the second gate they entered yell
low chairs like those furnished for the princes
and secretaries. They walked through the inner
courts of the Forbidden City, and retired from
the city by the east gate.
