The English veldt.

The London papers tell many stories
about Dom Paul Kruger, most Of them
familiar, but there is a characteristic
one, which is new. about his visit to
England. Americans travelling in Eng
land are exasperated by the warning,
'"Trespassers will be prosecuted"
which c%onfronts one everywhere in the
rural districts Of England. On n oc-
casion during his visit MI. Kruger
said: 1.-THE houses in England are very
fine. but ! find no happiness on your
veldt. l go right away from London
and sit down under a tree on the veldt
to smoke. but before l get two whiffs up
cores on one who says the land is
his and he does not want me there. No
there is no freedom on your veldt."

final adjournment of the state conven-

midnight. When it became apparent
that no candidate could be selected a
compromise vas made. A judiciary
committee of one member from each
of the three counties-Deer Lodge,
Powell and Granite-was named with
power to nominate a candidate. In
the event the committee also fails of
making a nomination the matter is to
be referred to the full delegation
again. The committee consists of J.
M. Sigh of Deer Lodge, o. B. O'Ban.

CONCERNING Boleros.

Some are square.
Others boast dips.
Sheer ones are lace trimmed.
They show the underblouse.
Some are in tucked mousseline.
Most of them dip toward the front,
coming almost to the waist line.
Some have plated sleeves, half short
and left flowing.
Or a sleeve may be gathered into a
smart cuff with frills of lace.
Usually the bolero Is trimmed to sim
ulate a collar or a yoke.
Some sort of dingle bangles yet serve
to fasten it at the front.
Good designers find no difficulty in
treating a bolero in harmony with the
skirt.
Sheerest blouses of net, lace, null
and batiste are worn under the bolero.

Trimming For Linen Gowns.

Morning gowns of white or colored
linen may be simply made with white
collar and cuffs Of embroidery or lace
and perhaps two or more bands of the
lace laid down the front Of the waist.
Fine tucks may be run between each
band. Small square lace yokes are also
attractive, and the rest of the waist
may be quite severe or laid in narrow
box plaits. The skirt may then have
the box plaits running down almost to
the knees, with the wide flare from
there. Embroidered linen gowns are
exceedingly smart.

This grove was called into being by
the Empress Anna. One day from her

here"
Next morning on going to her win

kURoPATKiN's ADVANCE.
Marshal oyama Reported to Be Con.
centrating on Lao Yang.

st. Petersburg, Oct. IL. - A battle
upon which the fate of this years
campaign in Manchuria depends
seems only few days ahead. Advices
from the front are meager. All that
Is positively known officially is that
General Kuropatiin has cast the die
at last, about faced his army and is
marching resolutely against the enc
my as if resolved to do or die.
According to unofficial reports, Field
Marshal Oyama at the first sign of
General Kuropatkin taking the often
'ive began drawing in his line and
concentrating upon fortified positions
north of Lao Yang. According to the
latest reports the Japanese outposts
are being driven in all along the line.
The strategy of the forward move
ment will be concealed, as were the
preparations for the advance, so that
all surmises as to where General Kur-
opatkin intends to strike are mere
guess work. 1t it not clear whether
General Kuropatkin contemplates a
blow on the left, center or right of
the Japanese army, but the fact that
stress is laid upon the capture of
Bentiaputse, which opens the road and
fords to Benshu, 20 miles east of Lao
Yang, where General Kuroki crossed,
and that Cossacks are already report
ed in the neighborhood of the stream,
,ioyb nt rCal
of the battle Of Lao Yang, this time
the Russian commander fianking and
turning Lao Yang with his left as
Field Marshal Oyama did with his
right
Little light has been thrown upon
the considerations which led General
Kuropatkin suddenly to assume the
offensive; but no word is heard at the
war office intimating that the course
savors of rashness. Officers of the
general staff, while not underestimate
ing the heavy task and severe sacri-
fees that are involved in assuming the
offensive, nevertheless express abso-
lutte confidence that General Kuropat-
kin has found weak point in the jap
anese armor.
Different explanations abound as to
the reason for making the forward
movement at this time. The advance
IS attributed to a realization by Gen
eral Kuropatkin of the difficulty the
Japanese have encountered in making
good their losses at Lao Yang and re-
plenishing their supplies and ammuni-
tion. or possibly to the drawing off Of
. portion of the Japanese troops to re-
inforce General Nogi in a desperate
effort to end the siege of Port Arthur.
Whatever the explanation, 1t is ap-
parent from the hasty manner in
which the Japanese withdrew before
the first show of Russian strength
that their recent ostentatious prepara-
tons for an advance were largely
bluff The best opinion here is that
the impending battle Is likely to de-
yelop with startling rapidity.
1t Is reported that the Japanese have
abandoned Sianchan, Saimatsze and
Maichoulin, positions east Of Liao
Yang.
In political circles considerable
stress is laid upon the moral aid of
the Chinese that may be expected
from General Kuropatkin's advancing
without being compelled to abandon
the sacred city of Mukden, it being
remembered that the Japanese failed
to reach the city of imperial tombs
during the Chino-Japanese war.
