From these depend deep pleatings Of
chiffon. The bow at the neck Is also
of chiffon.
The circular skirt is fitted closely
around the waist and over the hips
with small darts. The fulness at the
centre back is arranged In an UNDER
lying pleat at each side Of the closing.
Rosettes of panne, connected by fes.
toons Of the same material, are used to
decorate the waist and skirt. This
mode OF trimming Is especially pretty
for a plain skirt, and may be repeated
in the back, the rosettes being placed
on each side Of the centre pleat.
In some cases three or five narrow
ruchings of chiffon are used for foot
trimming or arranged In scallops and
points ut the lower edge Of the skirt.
To make the waist in the medium
size will require two and a quarter
yards of twenty-two-inch material.
To make the skirt in the medium size
will require three and quarters
yards of ffty-inch material.

CARDINALS GAVE POPE
CHRISTMAS GREETINGS.
Holy Father Expressed Regret for
Certain Events.

Rome, Dec. 23.-There was a pic
turesque scene in the Pope's private IL
brary at noon to-day, when all the
cardinals living in Rome gathered
there to present the pontiff with their
Christmas greetings. All the visitors
wore their gorgeous red robes. A re-
markable fact was that, with the ex-
ception of Cardinal Santo Stefano and
Cardinal Parocchi, all the assembled
prelates appeared exceptionally well,
animated and full of plans for the fu-
ture.
Cardinal Santo Stefano. as doyen of
the Sacred College, read the congrat-
ulatory address. The Pope spoke at
some length in reply and expressed
keen sorrow at the fact that his jubi-
lee year was embittered by painful
events, referring, evidently, to the d.
vorce bill. The pontiff, in this con-
nection, remarked:
What they want is the fall of
Christian order and the reconstruction
of the states on the basis of Pagan
naturalism."
The Pope pleaded for a spread of
Christian Democracy ION the lines
preached by the church to oppose the
seditious, socialistic democracy which
acknowledges no God"
After receiving the apostolic bene-
diction, the cardinals withdrew.

THE KING OF SAx0NY
KNOWS WHERE SHE is.
Seems Content to Let the Estrange-
ment stand.

Dresden, Saxony, Dec. 23.-King
George and the Crown Prince Freder-
lex know where the Crown Princess
Louise has sought refuge, but they
have decided to accept the estrange-
ment of the Princess and her husband
as irreparable. They have made the
cabinet privy to the circumstances Of
the Princess flight, as they see them,
and a decree of divorce is talked of as
a necessary sequence to the Princess
resolution to leave the court forever.
This determination the Princess an
nounced to her husband early in No
vember, after one of their frequent vi
olent scenes. She also cOnfided her in
tention to separate herself utterly from
the court and call it's wretchedness"
to two or three of her intimate friends,
and discussed with them the impossi-
bility of her longer enduring the arti-
fetal etiquette of the court and the
forced companionship of a man who
was loathsone to her"
Princess wrote to her mother at the
end of November that 1t was her pur-
pose to leave the Crown Prince and
give up the prospect of the Queenship,
which instead Of being attractive. the
Princess frequently said, was detest-
able to her. She formally told MEM
bers of her encourage that she was
going to visit her parents at Salzburg.
The letter of the Princess to her
mother brought the Archduchess i'm
mediately to Dresden. She implored
her daughter to reconsider her deter
nination and make the best OF an
unpleasant situation for the sake OF
her children and see as little OF the
Crown Prince as permissible. The
Princess replied, according to one OF
her confidsnts. that she would see
nothing OF that beast" that the
tutelage OF her children was largely
taken out OF her hands and that she
could not bear to see them spoiled by
the hypocrlsies Of the court"

often tried to impose his Will upon her,
but he always hoped that she would
in the end humble herself. His atti-
tude recently, until she had actually
gone, appears to have been that of dis
dainful indifference and disbelief that
she really intended to carry. out her
threats.
The Crown Princess days at Salz-
burg were spent in controversy with
her father and mother, who did not
excuse her for a moment in her mad
desire to leave her position and fam
lily. Her brother, Archduke Leopold
Ferdinand, took his sisters part.
The circumstances of the Princess
flight are still obscure here and no
further reliable news is available The
only fact that seems clear is that the
she is and are in communication with
her, but it is learned that she is alb
solutely intractable.
Dresden is absorbed by the sensation.
The theory that the Crown Princess is
suffering from mental alteration is
now only feebly propagated by the
Saxon court, and the Crown Princes
adherents intimate that an Illicit love
affair is the cause of the Princess de-
sertion
The Dresdener Nacrichten, one of the
principal newspapers and having con-
servative leanings, after saying it could
almost be sorry for the Princess. with
a disposition incompatible with that of
the Prince and disliking the etiquette
of this court suggests that ito find
the reason for her departure one must
fiRd the man." the man in this case,
who is associated by gossip with the
Princess, is a handsome Frenchman,
who was tutor to the Princess chill
dren. He was peremptorily discharged
by order of the Crown Prince on
Dec. 2.
The Crown Princess had a lively vi
ennese manner. She was independent
and high-spirited. and was inclined to
ridicule the observances of the little
Saxon court, which takes itself more
seriously.
The Crown Prince, who has recovered
from the injury that he recently sus-
tanned while hunting, drove out to-day
with two of his sons.

Vienna, Dec. 23.-The flight OF the
Crown Princess of Saxony is the alb
sorbing topic of the day here. All
kinds of sensational reports are in CIR
culation.
When she left Salzburg, accompanied
by her brother, Archduke Leopold Fer
dinand. the Princess went to Munich,
where a French tutor awaited her. Her
brother was also Joined there by a
beautiful Viennese woman, and the two
couples proceeded to Brussels, and
thence to Geneva.
1t appears that when the Crown
Prince returned recently to Dresden
after his hunting in Tyrol, he discov-
cred secret correspondence exchanged
between the Princess and the French
tutor whose former relations with
her had created a scandal, resulting in
the tutors expulsion from Saxony. Be.
sides disclosing the couples relations,
the letters revealed another scandal.
Immediately afterwards the Princess
left her home and went to Salzburg
The fact that she took a trunk filled
with jewelry and other valuables in
dicates that she was prepared for an
emergency.
1t is reported that Archduke Leopold
Ferdinand has written to Emperor
Francis Joseph, renouncing his rank
and dignities as a member of the i'm
perial house. and saying he will be-
come a civil subject. The whole of
the Archduke's career is redolent with
scandal, dating from the time when he
started to accompany the heir to the
throne on tour of the world. He on
ly got so far as Colombo. where he
was obliged to leave the ship on ac-
count of his scandalous conduct there.
| The Archduke has since been mixed
UP. in a number of affairs. and was
confined for some months in an asy-

PRESIDENT MAY NAME
BOARD OF ARBITRAT0RS.
That Course May Follow If He Ac-
cepts the Commission

Washington, Dec. 23.-The cabinet
to-day in the discussion of the Vene-
zuelan situation. Views for and
against the Presidents acceptance of
the invitation to arbitrate were dis
cussed. Pending the receipt of the in
vitations, it is stated that the Presi-
dent declines to commit himself as to
his course.
Secretary Hay brought to the meet
ing practically nothing new relative to
the situation. No response had been
received to the Presidents original sug-
gestion to the Powers that they con-
sent to the reference of the Venezue-
Ian controversy to the al bitration of
The Hague tribunal and no formal re-
quest had been received that the Pres
ident act as arbitrator of the difficulty.
That such a request will be received
formally and officially is now practi-
cally assured.
1t is known that the President and
all the members of his cabinet at first
preferred that the whole question be
referred to The Hague tribunal. 1t is
understood that the Presidents plan,
IL lie " oil Jill cANSB SOAANSAAA-
plates the appointment of a board OF
arbitrator.
1t is stated that the crucial point
to come before the arbitration is the
famous "Calvo doctrine" This doc
trine, which was laid down by the
greatest Latin-American International
lawyers, and for many years has been
regarded as beyond question by all
of the American republics, denies
the right of any nation to intervene
automatically in behalf of one of its
subjects where the courts of the coun-
try are open to his application for jus
tice Thus, Venezuela has asserted
that all of these claimants, British,
German, Italian, French, might have
gone before the Venezuelan courts,
and if their causes had been just and
so decided by the courts, the govern
ment would have paid the judgments.
The objection to this view is that no
account is taken of miscarriages of
justice and of racial antipathies.
1t is known that now some members
of the cabinet are opposed to refer
ring the matter to the Hague Tribu-
nal for these reasons:
In the first place, they have no de-
sire to submit the Monroe doctrine to
the arbitrament of any non-American
tribunal, not even excepting the au-
gust and eminently fair tribunal of
The Hague. They very much prefer
that if this doctrine is to be the sub
ject of arbitration, if it is to be even
brought in incidentally, that American
influences shall pass on it.
Another reason that animates these
cabinet officers in this inclination to-
ward acceptance is their conviction
that an inordinate length of time will
be consumed if the issue is taken be-
fore The Hague tribunal This would
lengthen the period of the blockade,
with danger of actual hostilities.

EARTHQUAKE CLAIMED 1000
VICTIMS IN TURKESTAN.
Horrors Were Greater Than Was at
First Supposed.

Ashkabad Russian Turketan, Dec.
23.-Even the worst of the earlier re-
ports of the recent earthquake disaster
at Andijan quite underestimate the
appalling loss of life.
A telegram to-day from the scene of
the catastrope puts the number of
victims in the native quarter Of the
town at 1000. Already 800 corpses have
been disinterred from the ruins. The
work of excavation progresses slow
ly.
The state treasury containing 5.O00.-
600 roubles. is I'm the ruins and ex-
cavations TO get the money are carried
on under the supervision of strong
Gordon of police. The water in the
wells has disappeared, and a general
subsistence of the site of the town is
feared.
The shocks continue with increasing
violence. The area of seismic disturb
ances comprises 200 square versts. The
Russian population is camping at the
railroad station, where 500 cars are
placed at the disposal Of the populace.
The local government officials are
quartered In cars.
Sheds for the destitute are being
built as rapidly as possible. Free soup
kitchens have been started and officials
are aiding the departure of the inhabi-
tants by distributing food, money and
free railroad tickets.
At st. Petersburg ii is estimated
that nearly 5000 have been killed by
the earthquake at Andijan.
