Paris, Saturday.
While evening gowns may be as
striking as you please, those for out
door wear are more elegantly simple
than ever. their rich and beautifully
shaded fabrics being artistically en-
bellished with exquisite trimmings
of a rather unusual order. There are
bands of silk embroideries, strips of
heavy dark-colored laces and the usual
tailor stitchings to enhance the beauty
of these street gowns and provide
them with as distinctive an air as is
possible Just now, when the season is
approaching its end and interest will
soon be turned toward garments Of a
different sort
Much has been written about the
velvet gown, and still there is more be-
ing said about dresses Of plain and
fancy velvet and velveteen. For smart
occasions there is nothing quite SO
handsome as the favOrite velvet gown,
and while colors are occasionally seen
usually black predOminates, for moth
ing is quite so excellent a background
for setting off sparkling spangles as
its rich. dark surface.
A particularly charming gown Oh tnls
kind was recently designed by greai
Paris dressmaker. There were incrus-
tations of lace in a pointed pattern
with a ground of white satin, on which
was a delicate embroidery of chenille
and Jet. The battlemented corsage was
worn over a blouse of lace applique
held at the waist under a ceinture Of
let and chenille incrusted lace. Th'
upper part of the sleeve was of velvet
and from this escaped a very full one
Of lace finished off at the wrist with
deep cuff Of chenille and jet.

military society drama, by Captain
Leo Trevor. The play tells a story Of
uncommon interest and strength. Its
manner of telling is terse, connected
and forcible. The role of Lieutenant
John Kinds. V. c.. is one to which the
actor of the school in which Mr.. Gould
has been trained can give his best ef-
forts, being assured of admirable re-
suits. There is plenty of heart interest
in the story and il is a success. The
tale it tells is one which first became
popular with Damon and Pythias but
will never grow old.
A man of action assuredly is John
Philip Sousa. During the last year he
gave forty-eight weeks of concerts with
his famous band, visiting $50 different
cities in America and Great Britain,
travelling 10000 miles, while now after
a brief rest he is already embarked
upon another of his remarkable tours
in this country. Sousa is the first
American composer and conductor to
secure recognition in foreign lands
and it is no eXaggeration to state that
his popularity at home and abroad is
second to no other musician His
triumphal tour through Great Britain

---------------- IN PEKIN DURING SIEGE.
Treaty Completed With Foreign Pow
 CTS And All is Quiet.


 Victoria, B. C., April 2--Dr w. A. F. Martin, who q month ago resigned the principalship of the imperial Chinese college at Pekin aid has since been offered similar position with the Chinese university at Wu Chang, ar rived here yesterday by the steamer Empress of Japan.
 MT Martin was in Pelzir during the siege and says there have been many changes since then.
 China has completed a treaty with the foreign powers and all is quiet now, he said, but how long it will remain a placid country no one can say. The recent treaty of Great Britain and Ja- pan guarantees peace for q tire only, for there is a feeling tending to the dis integration of the country, among some of the powers, among wEo"l sIreat Britain, Japan and the United States are for the maintenance of tine integrity of China, but Russia, France and others are for slicing up tine kingdom
 Regarding the Manchurian question Russia did not get the special conces- sions favored by the treaty made by Lii Hung Chang. Even to the hour before his death, when the Chinese statesman was all but unconscious, NJ. Lessar was working with him to have him place his signature to the treaty by which Russia would have secured sli she wanted. Dr Martin does not think the Russian troops will be withdrawn from Manchuria.
 Russia will make the excuse that the troops are necessary for the protec- ton of her railways" he added. "and in my opinion, Russia will ultimately E have sole possession of Mancnuria and Mongola. The latter province has not yet been brought into the question, but Russia is going to build railway line across Mongolia from the nearest point of the boundary of Peizin. The Russians are scheming in many ways for the retention of the districts. There were rumors before I left Pekin that rebel forces were i'll motion -1n Kansu and were supposed to be acting in concert with troops of Prince Yuan, the ex-boxer leader. do not think it is likely that they will march on Pekin, but they will hold an area in shansi and Mongolia.

 Why He Committed Deed.

The Man Is Held to Await the Coro-

 Who Brought Lane Back to Phila-
 delphia.
 Philadelphia, April 2-After pure ly informal hearing to-day William Lane, tine colored servant who yester- day murdered Mrs Ella J. Furbush aud he.. daughter Madeline, and fatal ly shot Eloisa t'urbush, another daughter, was held to await the ac- ton of the coroner's jury. Lane was cool and expressed no regret for his crime. When asked what caused him to kill the woman and child he said: ..tThey deserved to die.
 On learning that Eloise was still living, though sinking fast, he said: T am sorry that she suffers so much. I did not intend that she should suf- fer''
 Coroner Dugan has not yet com pleted his investigation of the case. He visited the scene of the murder to-day and, it is understood, ques- toned Charles A. Furbush, the reputed husband of the murdered woman. MT Furbush spent last night in the house where the crime was committed, but the police officers who are guarding the premises say he was not i'll a con- dition as yet to make q statement. Mrs Furbush's correct name is Ella Jarden.
 An autopsy was performed today by the coroner's physician and the in quest will be held tomorrow. An effort will be made to prepare the case for the grand jury which will meet on Monday.
 Inquiry at the hospital to-day brought out the information that there is little hope for the recovery of Eloise. Her condition is said to be extremely critical The bullet has not been extracted.
 Concerning the kidnapping. of the murderer from Camden by the detec- tiyes, Prosecutor Lloyd of Camden county said today:
 No steps will be taken against the detective kidnappers. The exigencies of the occasion hardly justify such a strict Interpretation of the law. While it is true there was a violation of ter ritorial rights, it is also true that the condition of the child, Eloise, was such as to justify the officers in get ting Lane back before her as quickly as possible, even if this had to be done in an irregular manner"

He Furnished Coffee and Sandwiches
 the Night of the Fire.
 Kelly, the baker, upon the order of Commissioner Lahey of the board of safety, during the great fire of Febru- ary 7, furnished the furnishing and shivering firemen a great deal of con- fort in the way of coffee and sand Wiches, milk and things in his line of business. There were others who dld things for the firemen on their own hook. All the bills, it was thought, were sent in to the board last week, but on looking them over none was found from Kelly, the baker. Mr Kelly was seen about the matter by a member of the Eoard and he said that he would see to it. But he apparently forgot all about it. He was seen sey- eral times during the past two " aeks and each time he said the same-he would see to it. Finally he was seen yesterday. told that the board would sit last night, and again no bill cana from MT Kelly. It is now the impression that what he gave to the firemen on the night of the fire he gave as a gift, as something to encourage them in their great fight of that memorable night
