THE MANCHURIAN TREATY.
Negotiations Between America and
 Russia Are Progressing.

Washington. Feo. 10.-Negotiations be. tween the United States government and the government of Russia relating to Manchuria are progressing.
 Although the objectionable proviso plac- ing the Russo Chinese bank in practical control of the commercial and material interests of Manchuria was withdrawn from the first treaty 1t has been discov- cred that the Russian government has drawn up secret agreement with China, conferring upon the Russo Chinese bank all the powers contained in the original treaty proviso. Therefore. the United States government has renewed it's ob- jections both to the Russian government and the government of China.
 It was quickly perceived today that the provision. If executed. practically would exclude Americans from competition in Manchuria which is very valuable as a market for our manufactured cottone.

Regarding Graduation Gowns

Graduation frocks are the all-im-
portant ones at the moment, not only
for the girls who will graduate
next month. but for all the students
to wear at the close of the school year.
White is as much worn by the gIadu-
ates as by brides, and, in fact, the
graduation frock ranks in the same
height in absorbing interest.
White muslin, white cotton crepe
and white silk. are the three favorite
materials, but the latter is thought
rather too old and costly a material
Plain or dotted muslin makes up most
attractively and need not be too elabo-
rately trimmed.
A good model has the upper part oi
the skirt in inch wide tuclks, bayadere
effect. the lower part Of the waist be-
ing tackled to correspond. A shaped
founce is of plain muslin, trimmed
with alternate rows of embroidery and
lace entredeux. There is a yoke tC
match and a ruffe of fchu, edged with
lace. Full bishop sleeves of tucked
muslin. embroidered and lace entire
deux complete the frock, which is, OF
course. more or less expensive, on ac-
count of the work necessary, but in
which the expense may be somewhat
regulated if machine tucked muslin b.
used and if care be taken in choosing
the lace and insertion.
Dotted swiss muslin makes a dainty
and girlish frock; a one-inch flounc'

Now for the Velvet NeckIet

A principal feature of smart dresses
in Paris Just now is the absence Of
collars of any kind. This fashion is
very charming to the owner OF the
short, plump neck, but the woman of
the long, swan-like throat is very apt
to look trife lean and scraggy il not
well clothed.
Very few are the women who can
jump from high, close collars to no col
lars at all with impunity, for the tall
linen collars and stiff, tight stocks
have Lett their mark on most throats.
But according to the beauty doctor
women should rejoice at the advent Of
tine collarless bodice. even if their
throats are not all that can be wished
in plumpness and whiteness. for every
hour they are left unconfined by stiff
fence of linen or silk, they improve In
appearance. and will grow steadily full.
er and fairer. By way of Fastening
the much-desired improvement, th'
beauty doctor recommends massaging
the throat with olive oil or lanolin'
cream night and morning during warn
weather as an aid to the pumping pro
cess, while the dark band which Il
made on the neck by high collars may
bes removed by laying thick slices o
cucumber close together on a band o
muslin, then tying the poultice thu
made about the neck at night. o
course the results will not like Jack
beanstalk, grow in a night, but persis
tency means success.
With the coming into fashion agaii
of the low-cut waist, the black velve
neclxlet has been revived This praC
tically does away with the difficulty o
scrawny and discolored marks in
most becoming manner. The jewele
is showing black velvet necklets whic
pass through handsome diamond G
pearl set bars, and fasten with similar
ly jeweled clasps. There are velvet mech
lets embroidered with simple flora
designs or finished with appliqu
flowers, with wristbands to match, tn
latter designed to be worn with elbO
sleeves.

INVESTIGATED BRIDGE ACCIDENT
Levy Court Committee Examined Number
Of Witnesses

Members of the Bridge Committee
met in the Court House this morning
to determine who the blame should rest
on in the accident at Market street
bridge on Monday morning
Captain Fish. who was unloading
1000 barrels of cement, and whose
boat was struck, was before the com
mittee and told all he knew about the
accident Bridgetender Gregg said
that the collision could not be avoid
ed. as the Charles Warner Company
had its boats tied up on both sides OF
the river and had allowed them to
drift into a position to interfere with
the turning of the bridge. The CON-
mittee censured nobody, but will no.
tify the Charles Warner Company that
it must keep its boats out of the way OF
the bridge.
