Special Cable Despatch TO THE SUI

Spee'W Cdoe DeSpdlcH 10 lHE SUN
PEK1N, Nov. 18.-Chinese official reports
state that Russian troops continue to arrive
in Manchuria. The troops are committing
indignities against the Chinese officials
and their families. The officials, including
Tsen Chi, the Tartar General at Mukden,
are applying to the Russian authorities for
passes to enable their families to leave the
country.
Prince Tsai Chen. who is young and igno-
rant, is charged with favoritism and corrup-
tion in the organization of the Board Of
Commerce. He and Chen Pi, notorious
protege Of Lilien Ying, the head eunuch,
completely ignore WI Tng-fang, member
OF the board, who was formerly Minister
to the United States and whose influence
and judgment in the present crisis are not
considered. 1t Is therefore expected that
WI Ting-fang will soon resign.

Special Gable Despatch to THE SUN
LONDON Nov 1e.-Is the age-long iso-
lation Of Lhassa doomed to be intruded
upon and the mysteries Of the capital Of
the Grand Lama OF Thbet to be revealed
to the world? The prospect Of an afflrma-
tive answer to this question seems to be
more likely to-day than ever before.
About four months ago the eminent ex-
plorer Col. Younghusband was despatched
by the Indian Government on a political
and commercial mission to meet representa-
tives Of the Dalai Lama and to confer with
them concerning means for removing
the hndrances to trade between Thibet
and India, and for overcoming what the
British view as the unfriendly attitude Of
the Thibetans.
The mission, which was accompanied by
a military escort, encamped at Khamba
Jong, thirty miles within Thibetan terri
tory, to await the Lama g emissaries. They
did not arrive, and the Lama, through a
subordinate official, informed Col. Young
his escort was withdrawn. This Col.
Younghusband refused to do, and he for
titled his camp.
All the Thibetan suspicious of foreigners
were thereupon strengthened, and, it la
alleged, covertly took hostile form. Col.
Younghusband himself was hurriedly re-
called to confer with the viceroy Of India
at Smla, and peaceful solution now seems
unlikely.
1t was in view Of this situation that the
military expedition under command Of
Col. Macdonald. details of which were
cabled to THE Sun, was prepared, and 1t
is now understood that the expedition has
been ordered to advance to Cyangtse, an
important place in the Chumbi Valley,
ninety miles nearer Lhassa than Khamba
Jong and only $50 miles from the Lama's
famous capital.
The Indian Government has been in
formed that the Lama intends to oppose
the advance Of the expedition, and that
rifles have been distributed to the Thi-
betans and other warlike measures taken,
the priests having OWNED that the occa-
sion is favorable to their arms.
1t is stated that they rely upon Russia's
support In attempting to drive out the
British. and apparently the Indian Gov
eminent believes that Russian influence
has been growing in Thibet to the extent
OF menacing British interests.
Col. Younghusband has now probably
rejoined his mission At Khamba Jong, and
Col. Macdonald's expedition is moving to
cooperate with him. Col. Macdonald's
force is understood to include number Of
British troops. The remainder are Sikhs
and Ghoorkas.
No formal warlike declaration is reported,
but all the indications point to stern resis-
tance by the Thibetans, in which case it
can hardly be doubted thst Lhassa will
become the ultimate objective of the British.

the front, are vandyke points of lace
insertion bound with braid and edged
with silk fronge.
! The neck is cut square, but not very
! low and finished simple with band of
braid above which appears a soft fold
of pure While chiffon.
The sleeves are immense tucked puffs
of the satin gathered into ose-fitting
elbow cuffs of lace banded with braid.
over hese cuffs fall graceful graduated
flounces of the deep lace.
1t is quite out of the question to con-
not contain a princess gown. Large
women are justified in their objection
that this style only aggregates the
curves of their figure, but the princess
is the delight of the slight, tall woman
French model is designed in Ores
den blue cachmir. The skirt falls in
graceful folds finished with three nuns
folds. Appliqued above the folds are
large flowers in darker blue velvet with
gold centers.
Blue velvet ribbon is fastened
around the sleeves, the full parts of
which are in cream lace appliqued with
the blue and gold flowers. Abovet he
lace puffs there is a circular fall the
silk scalloped around the edge and en-
broidered in blue and gold.
Some of the new hairy surfaced IA
brics are so soft and silky that they
resemble fur. When used for automo-
bile coats they are trimmed with bands
of leather. The effect is incongruous
but very smart.
Leather, in fact plays an important
part in the trimming of all outing cos
tunes. The smartest walking hats have
bands of this material with all sorts of
dainty designs burnt in it. Belts of
green and red alligator skin with Chi
nese and Japanese figures embossed
thereon are popular and are accom-
panied by pretty wrist bags to match.
In price they vary firm five to fifty dol

Short evening coats in their newest
guise have very negiigee effect, but
are nevertheless very charming In
most instances they are of lace made
over a heavy silk foundation from
which they are, entirely separate from
the yoke This latter is either of
tucked moussiline and lace or of chif-
fon cunningly mixed with tiny bands
of ermine or chinchilla.
Low shoulder effects continue fash
ionable for bodices. They are broken,
however, by strappings of the material
which meet over the shoulder and are
edged with embroidery or braid to ac-
centuate the effect.

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-One of the
details of dress which has managed to
survive the fieeting changes of fashions
is the basque effect This has been
found to be more desired than the pos
tillion back because of it's charity as
well as beauty. Many figure other
wise perfect is spoiled by hollowness
below the waistline at the back which
even the hustle does not always sue
cessfully conceal and nothing has
helped to cover up he defect as has
the basque extensions beyond the girdIe
or belt.
This feature promises to remain pop
ular throughout the winter, with more
or less notifications. The probabilities
are that it will become both longer and
wider, with an occasional graduated
effect for the sake of variety.

NEW YORK FASHION LETTER
BY MAUD GRIFFIN

white and mauve-b blue louisine ribbon
and in magnetic complete the costume.
There are few toilettes, except the
strictly tailor made designs that do not
| show some variety or lace decoration.
For this reason the ingenuity of the
lace makers has been taxed to the ut
most to supply the demand for new
| ideas. The vogue for colored lace does
nos diminish and among the most re-
cent arrivals may be noted Chantilly
| displaying motifs of palest pink, blue,
rose and lilac to adorn evening gowns
and elegant afternoon toilettes. 1t is
expensive, this Chantilly, but no one
who loves its cobwebby beauty would
grudge its price, not considering the
fact that it is the latest dictate of fash
| ion.
Delightful two-toned effects are
shown in wood-fibre lace for trimming
zibelines and rouch surfaced materials
and if there is hat of pressed beaver
of scratched felt accompanying the
gown the lace my be repeated in it's
trimming as well.
A very fetching grey zipelh1e walking
costume has a hip-yoke of this lace on
the skirt, blu silk braid is cleverly
manipulated about the lace so that it is
rendered appropriate for the exigences
of street wear. Below the yoke the
skirt falls in narrow box plaits all
around the figure. At the bottom is a
trimming of three rold-tucks piped
with a narrower design of the braid
establishment.
The bodice has basque effect at the
back. The upper part of the front is
cut in low collarless effect to reveal a
vest of the wood fibre lace. The braid
finishes the low-cut effect and termi-
mates at the bust line where it is
turned back in the tiniest revers and
lined with silk to match the lace. From
the bustline to the belt the waist
blouses in an effect Stimulating two
plaits that may have been secured at
either and then pulled out to bulge
over a girdle of braid and lace. The
sleeves have caps and cuffs of lace
and between these points are plated
in like manner as the skirt.
The very deep laces are to be used
great deal this winter as founce
trimmings for bodices. This idea IS
exemplfied in a design of corn color
satin adorned with a combination of
light weight fancy silk braid and lace.
The lace finishes a square yoke of
tucked satin which is tucked in squares
NAKED off by bands of the silk braid.
Falling over the lace border, which by

constitute the skirt.
The broad fiat edges of the newest
round hats are adorned with folds of
soft satin and drape de sole from
which wings or entire birds emerge at
the most unexpected places.
Black taffeta coats worn with pele-
rines of ermine and rnusquash will be
fashionable. They are finished below

founces. MAUD GRIFFIN.

Work Suspended for Season
(GrangevilIe Free Press.)

(GrangeVille Free PreSS.)
1t is reported that work on the road
to Thunder Mountain has been sus-
pended for this year and that the prog
ress made during the season has been
so unsatisfactory that it is doubtful if
it can be completed next year. The re-
lations between the superintendent and
contractor have been anything but
harmonious and there are those who
not only question the feasibility of the
route selected but believe the whole
thing was a scheme to "bunco' the
state out of an appropriation. The
Warren route is generally admitted to
be the most practical and If Thunder
mountain ever gets a wagon road will
probably be that way.
