TAMMANY OPENS
FIGHT ON PARKER.
Bourke Cochran Heads Movement Against
New York Judge-Plan for Nc
Clellan in 1908.

Washington, y. c.. April 2G.--Tam-
many hall is knitting Parker. The braves
have started fire in the rear, and I'M
der the inspiring leadership of Bourk
Cochran have set out merrily TO nullfy
the action of Mr.. Hills convention. Cock
lan made brillian speech in the House
on Saturday, and the Democratic men,
bers have bowed down and worshiped
him. recognizing that the briiliance of his
oratory might be deciding factor in the
next campaign. 1t is extremely signifi-
cant, therefore, to find that Cochran and
all the Tammany men in and out of Con
gress are maliciously knocking Parker.
Bryan at Chicago said nothing tenth
part as severe about the platform as
Cochran and his Tammany cohorts have
been Intentionally saying Men who are
to go to st. Louis as delegates from New
York have made a great impression
among the other Democrats, because
when asked as to their opinion of Par
ker they reply inevitably: Il am under
Instructions"
The significance Of this is explained
when it is found that Tammany delegates
without exception are openly denouncing
Parker as a colorless candidate upon s.
havorless platform. Tammany men VIII
vote for Parker i'll lie convention under
their instructions, but they will not vote
his way during any of the preliminary
slSirmishing. and this position of the Tam
many braves at ST. Louis may be sufli-
cient to insure Parker's downfall. They
hate Hill. and hate him hard. and every
thing they can do to hurt Hills candidate
it is being done in Washington. The
scheme is to have an outside candidate
named and beaten to help George i. Nc
Clellan in 1908

Cuff Bracelets.

The 'barbaric' reigns supreme in the
jewelry world, says the London Express.
The Cleopatra cuff bracelet is one Of the
novelties. 1t is a deep band of gold,
wider at the top than at the hand, and
shows gorgeous arrangement of translu
cent enamel, separated by chased and
pierced bits Of gold.
The bracelet resembles cuff in shape
and design, and for that reason has been
called The cuff or gauntlet gracelet.
Small pearls, with colored stones, are
also used, with the enamel work to fur
ther enhance the beauty Of the dull sill
yer Or gold foundation.
Some of these novelties resemble deli
cate and rare meshes of lace, finished at
the top with Vandyke points, richly stud
ded with pearls and brilliants.

Suddenly Appears Off Gensan ON East

London, April %, 5:44 p. H..-The

lowing dispatch, received today from To-
kio:
1.-The japanese consul at Won San
(Gen. SAM, Korea, reports under today's
date that two Russian torpedo boats en-
tered that port and sank q small Japa-
csc steamer, the Goyo Maru. Her gross
tonnage was 900 and she was built N
1884. The Russians Immediately left.
This dispatch is taken at the legation
here TO mean that the Vladivostok feet
is active.
Toxic, April 25.-6 p. m.-The Russian
Fladivostok squadron, after long period
of inactivity, suddenly appeared off Cen
san. ON the east coast of Korea, this
morning and sank the Goyo Maru, a
japanese merchant steamer of 600 tons.
A brief telegram received from Gensan
today says three Russian cruisers had
entered the harbor and that they were
still there when the telegram was sent.
Their arrival created CONSERVATION in the
unprotected Japanese colony at Gensan.
1t is thought here in Toxic that this
Russian naval movement was made IN
the hope of intercepting some unprotected
Japanese troop ships. 1t is not believed
that the squadron will remain at GenSan
long.

the shade required in this Clifton, or,
indeed, in any lace, silk or other fabric,
one has but to send goods and sam
pie of the desired color to reputable
| dyer. There was never a time when
so much special dyeing was ordered by
| the dressmakers, and the satisfactory
| results are a tribute to the skill of the
modern dyers.
Handwork of any and of every kind
| is lavished upon these dressy blouses.
Fagoting, embroidery, tucking, shir-
ring, shocking, inset lace designs. all
play their part, and the ubiquitous
bouillonee figures as conspicuously
here as elsewhere in the new modes.
While the details offer great variety,
| the general lines of the blouse are a
| trifle monotonous.
If, as is true in the majority of cases,
a blouse must be fitted for wear under
coat the deep berthe and other
shoulder draperies are out of the ques-
ton. Most attractive blouses owning
such features are offered, and for house
wear are charming enough; but once

/ sleeve, they lose their freshness.
The long shoulder line must be
achieved in some fashion, so the blouse
maker resorts to a deep yoke of lace
or handwork running down low over
| the shoulders and cut round, pointed
| front and back, or shaped irregularly.
! The juncture of yoke and blouse and
sleeves is hidden by trimming, and the
full sleeves have cuffs corresponding to
| the yoke.
AS has been said before, this yoke
blouse varies widely in detail The
yoke may be entirely of narrow bias
bands and fagotings and inset medal
| lions or circles filled with lace stitches,
and the same open work may reappear
upon the body of the blouse.
Or, more easily made, and very fash
ionable at the moment, is the yoke of
all-over lace on which are set scroll
patterns in the narrowest of bouillo-
nees, wider bouillonee or possibly
one in the same width covering the
union between yoke and blouse.

Points on Spring Modes

turn out taffetas that, in considerable
measure, bow to the dictum of Dame
Fashion, the best houses are making a
number of fine models in taffeta.
For the new idea in trimming the
bodice Of any costume Is as though a
lace fichu were tied around the form
just below the shoulders, so that the
sleeve itself really commences several
inches below the shoulder.
Trimmed the skirt must be- In its
simplest form this skirt trimming con-
sists of these wide horizontal tucks
from the knee down, which has been
! known during the last winter season
as the jupe religieuse or nuns skirt
Then there are the double skirts, the
upper one reaching to the knee, and
falling in quite severe lines over the
underskirt, which partakes of the same
character as the upper one both as to
! trimming and cut.
In the soft satin liberty and crepe de
chine are noted some interesting in
novations with regard to skirt trim
ming. These have the narrow, gradu-
ated panel front, edged with a quill
ing or ruching of the same material or
lace The rest of the skirt is laid In
| the nuns folds, or trimmed with lace
medallions surrounded by interlacine
of ruchings.
| Still another method of trimming in
vogue, especially in the light cloth
skirts, is the skirt top, giving a yoke
effect that is very pleasing and attrac-
tive.
The predominating idea as regards
sleeves is ruff1es. The top of the sleeve
continues to be fiat The sleeve may
be composed of series of ruffles, or 1t
may be only the ruffle from just below
the elbow and reaching to the wrist.
And this ruffied style for the sleeve is
not confined alone to the costume made
of soft fabrics, but is well expressed
in a Simple gown.
The poke hat with strings is the
natural and artistic accompaniment OF
the 1880 fashions. 1t is extreme style
and a trifle too eccentric unless SUBJ
jected to decided modification for any
considerable acceptance in this coun-
try. 1t is very bewitching to see a
! woman with a big white hat trimmed
with pink roses and tied with pink rib
bons, but the American woman, as q
rule, prefers to see the other woman
wearing such a conspicuous article.

THE CAR AND THE VETERAN.
An Occasion When Russia's Ruler
Was Enabled to Reward
Faithful Service.

The car of Russia may not be able
to do all that an autocrat would like
to do, but he knows the way to the
hearts of his subjects. His greatest
difficulty is to pierce the hedge of Off
Gals which surrounds him day and
night. Sometimes, however, he is able
to do a good action with his own hand.
Such an occasion came to him while
walking in the park of his palace at
Tsarskoe Selo. Striding backwards
and forwards deep in thought, as is
his habit, he was surprised to hear a
voice over his head calling to him:
Your majesty-little father!" Look
ing up he saw white-haired old SOL
der cleaning lamp. An inquiry as
to his wants brought out the fact that
the old man had been 81 years in the
service without having merited punish
ment, and that he was wondering if
he would have to remain a soldier to
the day of his death. The car told
him to ask the officer about it, but the
old fellow refused, saying it would
only earn him a beating Once the
officer had been mentioned the en-
perOr was scarcely able to induce the
veteran to give him any particulars.
Only after crossing himself on prom
Use not to mention anything to the Off
Ger did he elicit such facts as led hin,
to sign the soldiers discharge after
raising him to the rank of sergeant.
Farther inquiry showed to the car
quite q number of veterans awaiting
pensions who had been overlooked.
Nicholas II. of Russia is one of the
most domestic of European soyereigns.
He is never so happy as when able to
withdraw to his family circle and spend
some quiet hours reading and talking
with the cZarina.
