st. Petersburg. April 2s.-The opera
tIons OF the vladivostok squadron have
revived the spirits of the people Of st.
Petersburg. The fact that the navy is

which has been unable TO appreciate
the reason for the inactivity OF the
fine ships OF the yladiyostok squadron.
Il Is generally recognized that Rear
Admiral YeaSen cannot do more than
frighten the Japanese and compel them
TO exercise greater caution in their
movements, as the sinking OF
few transports or even cruisers can
nave no permanent effect on the re-
Iut OF the war.

 Ohe or the reasons then assigned for the 10 per cent increase in wages awarded was To equalize wages with the increased cost of living.
 Defects in Wright's Report.
 l. There are over SO000.oOO persons in the United States employed for gain; Wright's investigations covered l76.s27 wage-earners
 g. Not one worker in ten is a member of any labor union. Nearly all of the workers considered by Wright are mem bers of labor unions; as a rule union wages are higher than non-union
 3. Nrights report does not tell us tho yearly earnings of a single worker. Weekly wages may have risen while yearly wages have declined. In fact, this is exactly what has happened in the win dow glass industry. During the last few years glass plants have been idle about five months year. Ten years ago they were idle only two months a year.
 4. Wrights report does not tell us the actual amount of wages paid by any em- ployer, to any given number of employees in any year.
 5. Wright's report does not show the actual money wages for any one of his 176,S27 picked men for any period of time, whether by the hour, day, week or year.
 6. Wright's report does not show the average yearly, monthly or daily wages for any set of men in the sixty-seven industries selected.
 z. Wright's report fails to show that any one of the 176,S27 earners in sixty-seven industries, 519 occupations, and 3429 es- tablishments, received more wages in 1903 than in 1902, or in any other year, and hence the conclusion that yearly wages have risen cannot properly be drawn.
 S. Colonel Wright could have selected an equal number of establishments whose output, quality of work and number of employees was decreasing. The results of his investigation would then Lave been as pessimistie as his present results are op- timistio.
 Colonel Wright wisely stops his re- search July l, 1908. Since that date wages have sharply declined and the number of employees diminished, while prices con- tinued to rise until March l, 1904 Dun's figures, which are accurate, show an in- creased cost of living from July l. 1897, to March 1, 1904, of 43 per cent. Since then there has been some decline.
 Had Colonel Wright taken an average wage of workmen in all industries he could have not shown an increase one fifth as great as this increase in cost of living. The fact that this report appears at the beginning of a campaign in which wages and the cost of living are to cut an important figure, and for months promi- nent republicans have proclaimed that it would be good campaign material for them, adds to the distrust with which it Is received by the public.

Nothing more exquisite is being

reached this side of the Atlantic
There are clocks, easels, blotter pads,
stamp boxes, mirror frames, calling
card cases, and jewelry, all decorated
as only the Italian workmen know
how to decorate.
One of the handsomest and most
useful examples shown is of a clock
which is set in frame the shape of
a paddle wheel. The frame is studded
with daisies connected with shamrock
leaves, all of which are cunringly set
with bits of glass to give the colored
effects of the mosaic. Some of the
clocks are also set in easel frames,
and have hook on the back to sus-
pend them from the wall. Star, dia-
mond, palette and anchor shapes are
also used in this work for clock
frames.

Unique Collar
and Cuff Sets

A Partisan novelty is the collar and
cuff sets, which are made of scri1n,
worked with either silk or cotton in
the Russian cross-stitch.
The. color combinations of these
sets are endless, and they are extreme
ly useful, as they can be made de-
sirable for pongee and other plain
goods, since they furnish just the
needful touch of color.
The red and blue tambour cottons
make good everyday sets, as they
launder easily and nicely The hand
soonest sets are worked in Turkish
floss; some of them are made in four
shades of one color, shading from
light to dark. Dull blues, old rose
shades and lavenders work up unusu-
ally well.
The newest modes show a detach-
ed star-shaped design instead Of the
continuous pattern. A set worked in
silk in the Persian colors of dull
blue, bright red, golden yellow and
sage green is especially desirable.
