The Porte's Attitude of Indifference
Giving Way to One of Marked
Concern For the Future.
WILL The DEMANDS OF RUSSIA
Be STILL FURTHER AUGMENTED?
Ambassadors of the Powers in Con-
stantinople Draw the Attention
of the Porte to the Fears of Mas
sacres ut saIonica, and Demand
Protection.

Constantinople, Aug. 20.-The Rus
sian squadron is anchored in the bay
OF NADIA, off the coast of European
Turkey. between Burgas and the en-
trance of the Bosporus, so miles from
the latter
The attitude of Indifference hitherto
assumed by the Turkish officials to-
wards Russias action is giving way to
one of marked concern The porte fears
that Russia contemplates making still
more important demands than con-
tanned in the recent note of NJ Zinc
yieff, the Russian ambassador. such as
the appointment of a Christian gov
ernor-general of Macedonia. This idea
however, does not find support in dip
lomatie quarters, where the conviction
prevails that Russia is working in full
agreement with Austria.
No Difficulty Expected.
No difficulty is anticipated on the
part of Turkey to the acceptance OF
the Russian demands, with the possible
exception of appointment of European
officers TO command the gendarmerie.
This is likely to arouse opposition,
and 1t is thought that Russian antici-
patton thereof led to the dispatch of
the squadron, the presence of which
was hardly required to enforce a full
hHment of the other terms.
Fears of Massacre.
The ambassadors of the powers have
again drawn the earnest attention of
the porte to the fears of massacres at
Salonica and have demanded the
adoption of immediate and effective
measures for the protection of the for
eign consulates and the subjects of the
various powers.
Letters received here from Uskub say
there is evidence there of a great feel
ing OF unrest. The mosques are guard
ed by the troops and it is feared they
may be attacked
Monastery Burned
The monastery of Holy Virgin. near
kitchero, has been burned by AL
banlans after a determined struggle
between the defenders of the monas-
terry and the insurgents, during which
both sides lost heavily.
Servian refugees are arriving at Us
kub from Dibra, having fed from that
place owing to fear of a massacre. The
Albanians in that district have burned
number OF Bulgarian villages.

BOILER WORKS DESTROYED.
The John O'BriSn Boiler Works. Oc-
cupyfng an Entire Square at
st. Louis, Burned.


st. Louis, Aug. 20.-The explosion of
small oil tank in the vicinity of a
heating furnace in John O'Brien's boil
er works, started fire, Wednesday
morning, which spread rapidly through
out the one-anda-half story wooden
structure that covered nearly the entire
block bounded by Eleventh, Twelfth,
Mullanphy and Howard streets The
plant itself, with the exception of the
brick office building and pattern de-
Dartment. was completely destroyed,
though foods of water prevented the
heat from varying the half-finished
boilers lying in the shop
The loss will be quite heavy, but has
not yet been accurately estimated.

LOADS OF DIAMONDS.
More Than 100000. 900 Worth Come to
the United states I'm "a Period
of Eleven Months

The government department of COM
merce and labor, through its bureau of
statistics statements. shows that the to-
tai importation of diamonds and other
precious stones in the IL months ending
with May amounted to over s28 600 900
in value, and as the figures for the month
OF May alone were about SO 900 600, ii is
evident that the June figures will bring
the grand total OF diamonds and other
precious stones up to full $40 900 900
for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1903
This is the largest importation of
diamonds and other precious stones
ever shown in single year of our COM
merce. Prior TO 1887 the total had sell
dom, II ever, reached $40 900 900 per an
mum; from 1887 to 1893 the total gradu-
ally moved upward until II reached s16,-
600 900, then ii rapidly fell to IS 500 900
in 1894; $7.500.000 in 1895, $3.50 900 in
1896 and s2.500,0o0 in the fiscal year
1897. In 1898 the total increased to
nearly $1,000 600 in 1899 TO over A.
000,0 900, in 1901 to 500. 000, 900. in 1902
to $23.000,000. and in 1903 will be fully
$50, 100000. making a total for the year
JUST tHutu not fHOTe imam IN any pre-
ceding year, but so per cent in ex-
cess of 1901. double the figures of 1899
and more than six times the average
during the period 1S94-1S97.
This rapid growth in the importation
of diamonds, while il suggests general
prosperity. also seems TO indicate the
development Of a comparatively new in
dustry in the United States-the cutting
of diamonds. The total importations Of
diamonds alone.in the II months ending
with May amounted to s24 600 600 and
of other precious stones 81. 500 900. OF
the $24 600, 600 worth of diamonds i'm
ported. $40 900 600 were uncut diamonds:
this total of $4,000. 900 of uncut dia-
monds is large increase compared with
the importations of uncut diamonds in
preceding years. the figures for IL
months of the year 1902 being IS 500 900,
while for the corresponding period of
1901 they were $4,000 600; for the CORE
spending months of 1900, s.. 500 900, and
for the corresponding months Of 1898 but
little over 81 600 600

Rome, Aug. 29.-No other power is
IN better position than Italy quickly to
send a fleet to Turkey. In fact, Italy
may be almost considered as already
having warshlp on the spot, as the
torpedo boat destroyer Minerva is off
the island OF Lemnos in the Aegean

flowers. Roses in pink and white are te
the fore, and many blossoms with wild,
petals Of single" arrangement are EN-
ployed. One beautiful hat had its en-
tire crown of azaleas. Lilacs, violets
and forget-me-nots are stylish, too. but
rarely are used in profusion, or without
supplementary trimming. Shadings in
lilacs and violets are admirably natural.
All white hats are numerous, and feath-
ers and birds are stylish trimming. White
doves are distinctly of this season. and
two to a hat is not OVERRIDING. All lace
hats in white are approved, the most
favored lace being point Venise. These
lace hats have simply a narrow edging
Of white straw round the rim for firm
ness. All red hats make their impress
sion, too These are especially attractive
when made entirely of peoples, sn occa-
sional poppy bud or seed pod giving the
touch of green needed with the red. Long
ostrich feathers in black and white are
used freely, often those with long quill
stems that are run right through the
straw of the hat
The foregoing stands for diversity in
trimmings, diversity that is nightly ac-
eentuated by the approved tricks of tip
ping and bending brims. This last fea-
ture is well suggested in the hats the
artist groups here. Taking the top row
in this picture, there are a fat white
straw trimmed with pink roses and leaves
and tipped over the face; fancy coarse
gold straw, bent up at one side and set
off handsomely with two rich white
plumes. and fine green straw turban,
with red roses and foliage. Below these
are a white tulle hat showing pink roses
and white feather aigrette. and black
chip with white roses and black aigrette.

Chameleon silks in pale shades of sea
green, rose color and cie blue, shading
into a shimmering tint of silver gray, are
extensively used by French dressmakers
for foundation slips beneath sheer nous
selines and batiaes, inset with lace ap-
pliques of elaborate designs.
One of the designs among evening
gowns of transparent materials is a lin
ing of delicate color end contrasting tint
to give the effect OF shot or opalescent
fabric. For instance, the foundation slip
may be of pale pink silk, lightly yelled
with chiffon, and the gown above be
made of primrose mousseline de sole. A
pleasing effect is produced on some Of the
French gowns nude in this way, by the
use Of soft, flexible MORE for the princess

give stringy appearance TO the gowns
In a short time. Thus the gown unwise-
~ purchased, instead of looking soft and
clingy, will have a bedraggled and a
slouchy appearance. So it is we'll to
have one or two gowns that will stand
damp day, for think of the humiliation
of realizing when off for the summer that
you have not a gown that will do to
wear off for a tramp if the weather
is not promising. The really prov
ident woman will have two or three,
or even more, gowns ready for rough
wear in the country, for it is not at all
unusual at summer places for same one
to propose a tramp in tie rain or storm,
and it may then be very unpleasant to re-
alize that you have come prepared only
for dry weather 1t is tne girl that can
stand a tramp in any kind of weather
and who has gowns of the right length
and cut for that sort of jaunt who will
often make the best impression. These
are strenuous days, you know.
Figured materials are multiplying as
warm weather draws nearer. They're
a glorious lot. Mousselines de soies, or
CANDIES and chiffons are extremely dain-
ty, and will be embellished beautifully,
either with lavish expenditures of trim
mings, or with scant supply. Light
backgrounds rule, and practically all the
stylish colors appear in the figure, which
may be either Towering or designs. Fig
ured French grenadines, too, are fine
array. They're black, both goods and
figure, and look very rich when made
over color, as they always should be-
Checked stuffs promise to be greatly fav-
ored, also. The numbers of them to be
worn naturally will be larger because
of the variety possible in them. Usually
with these goods, fashions keep near to
the danger line of monotony. But now
there is wide range in the size of the,
checks. Many different materials are to
