Japan Does Not Know Answer.

LONDON, Feb. baron Hayashi,
the japanese minister to Great Britain,
said that his government did not
know what Russia's answer would be,
and that it was, therefore, impossible
to say whether war was probable or
not. The fact that the Russian reply
had not yet been dispatched showed,
according to Baron Hayashi, that Rus
sia's decision had not yet been taken,
as it was hardly probable, if a decision
had been reached, that the note should
be delayed.
A semi official denial has been issued
at st. Petersburg to the reports that
the car presided at council at which
the Russian reply was decided upon,
and it is explained that no conference,
except at which Grand Duke Alexis
presided, had been held in connection
with the Russo Japanese affairs.
A dispatch received here from Tien
Tsin says Russia is purchasing large
quantities of Kaiping coal for imme-
date delivery at Port Arthur, where
the stocks of coal are believed to be
running low.

COTTON CONTINUES =.

Time in Nearly Thirty Years.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The specuIa-
ton in the cotton market carried May
and July cotton options above IL cents
a pound on the local market today for
the first time in twenty nine years.
Cotton has not passed II cents q

crop, as against 4,347,O0O bales in the
previous season. turned out only e.

when the South was blockaded, was
$1.90 per pound. in 1864.
The rise on today's market was scor-

failure Of Southern spot markets (save
New Orleans) to advance. There was

CURE BY THE SUN
A UNIQUE NEW IDEA OF TWO
FRENCHMEN
They Advocate House of Glass Which
Constantly Turns to Catch the Solar
Rays-The Prospectus Has Been
Translated Into English"

The New York Sun gives an account
OF two Frenchmen who have come to
this country to exploit an idea to make
life all sunshine. This is one Of the
various novelties which have recently
been put forth by which medicines and
remedies of all kinds are to be dis
pensed with and we are to live, and be
cured of ailments, by natural means
alone. Conservative persons, including
the medical profession, scorn these
newt tangled ideas, and small wonder.
for. were they to obtain very largely
the doctors would soon be put out OF
business. The two Frenchmen are adj
vocating the turning villa" which ever
has its front to the sun, and they desire
to introduce it into this country, and
by way of beginning have translated
their prospectus into English. 1t is
really too good to be lost. Here are
parts of it:
''the Sun, this great doctor which
does not cost anything, is never at
the disposal of actual houses, before
which he passes rapidly into some few
hours during the winter" therefore the
inventors have arranged a house on
turning table, enclosed in glass which
will receive the rays of the sun all day.
pectus, ito put into practice on a i'm
proved scientifical fashion, the hello
therapy or the cure by the sun for the
patients and to act as a preservative
way again those who are well in
healty." 1t will be seen at a glance
what an important thing this is and
as the prospectus says: this original
and beneficient invention by the new
elements of which it is composited and
by the obliged improvement of it's ex-
creation is destined to operate revo-
luton into the construction of mans
habitation. The wants of the
lung are above the wants Of the sto-
mach. The late one wants only ALI
mentS two or three times in twenty
four hours; the former on the con-
trary must renovate its provision of air
twenty times in a minute; therefore
give him space, air and SUM-" The
former home of man is thus described:
''TheSe receive only the sun during
some hours, in winter time you are
frozen, in summer time it is the con-
trary you are roasted. In return our
villa of progress, the villa of future
receives the sun in winter during eight
or ten hours and in summer, when he
becomes burning, she turns her back
so as to enjoy the pleasant shadow"
Now in spite Of the involved language
of the two foreigners it is quite plain
that the turning villa has advantages,
particularly for Minnesota during the
present cold snap If one could only
have a revolving villa Just now and
turn it at once to the sun and let him
do his best, she, the villa, would be
most acceptable to the inhabitants Of
this frozen zone. But the gems of this
attractive circular are yet to come.

Echo of RIoomlnoton Strike.

BLOOMINGTON, ILL.,, Feb. 1.-What
is supposed to have been a dynamite
cartridge was exploded tonight under
an East Front street electric car, the
defamation causing a panic among the
passengers. The trap door protecting
the motors was blown up by the force
of the explosion, injuring Miss Barner-
dine Ives. The car had few occupants
or the results might have been worse.
This is the most serious occurrence
in connection with the street railway
strike since the outbreak a month ago,
when the cars were bombarded and
wrecked.

ALASKAHOMESTEADS
New Law VIII Probably Prove
Beneficial.

Globe Special Washington Service,
14f7 G Street.
: WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 1.-Judg-
ing from recent information the in
terror department has no doubt of the
wisdom of the homestead law for Alas
ka enacted by congress last winter.
Judge Witten, the special representa-
tive Of the department, who visited
Alaska last summer, reported on his
return that few if any families had
taken advantage OF the new law by
taking up lands for homestead pur-
poses. 1t has since appeared, how
ever, that Judge Witten did not visit
the proper localities in the territory
to see the effects of the new home
stead provision.
Reputable persons who have visited
Washington during the last month
some OF them being officials of the
government-have told the interior de-
partment that the law is bound to be
success, and that the indications %
this have already appeared. 1t is esti-
mated that from twelve to fifteen per-
sons took up homesteads in the Copper
River valley and on the Yukon last
summer, and that they are living on
their claims in good faith. 1t is repre-
sented that demonstrating in Alaska is
bound to be a slow process until the
people learn by actual demonstration
what can be done with the soil.
1t has already been demonstrated in
one conspicuous instance what can be
done in the way of stock-raising in
Alaska. A Seattle company in 1902
transported about 5000 sheep to Kadiak
island, and the flock has been kept
there ever since. No shelter whatever
was provided for the animals, but they
wintered well. A good many lambs
were born last spring. The same COM
pany, encouraged by this experiment,
shipped about $50 cattle to Kadiak
island last spring. 1t is not yet known
how the cattle are enduring the winter,
but 1T is believed that they will do well.
The herd was in splendid condition late
in the fall.
There is an abundance of grass on
Kadiak, and the promoters of the en-
terprise say there is no reason what
ever why the stock should not do as
we'll there as on the ranges of Mon
tana or the state of Washington.
Cattle have been successfully kept
at Cooks inlet, Bristol bay, in the
Yukon valley and even at St. Michael
and Nome. Walter E. Clark.

The use of kid and soft feathers as
gown trimmings is one of the happiest Of
present Styles and now that their many
good qualities are known. it. is only sur
prising that they have not been employed
in this capacity before.
Owing to the great advance in the art
of manufacturing dyes, suede may be
obtained in an endless variety of beauti-
full soft, dull tones. which, when combin
ed with cloths of the same color, but Of a
different shade, produces an indescribably
lovely effect
Among the many charming ways in
which both kid and suede are used Is to
applique disks, diamonds and ovals of the
leather around the bottom of the skirt
and to surround these by passamentery
and to surround these by paSsamentery.
Suede is also used effectively in bands,
appliqued in rings and other designs. A

lately, was trimmed with bands Of me-

obliged to do without the turning villa.

A Novel Dinner.

A novel dinner was given by a.
wealthy old Partisan family occupying
their own house which is situated in
the very heart of Paris and near sew
eral of the largest restaurants. The
gGests were invited for s o'clock. the
fashionable dinner hour. Instead of a
menu, each person found in his or her
serviette a prettily engraved card with
the words:
Your choice is mineI
Please order what you like.
Nothing appeared on the table except
some beautiful flowers used in decora-
ton, and at first the guests did not
know what TO do. Finally the hostess
explained that the words on the cards
must be taken literally. and she or
dered creme d'ecrevisse'' soup for her.
self. At once the quick witted Paris
ians Caught on" and the numerous
walters were kept busy serving all
kinds of soups. As each course was
finished each guest was requested to
order what he or she preferred for the
next course, and so ons Needless to
say the dinner was a varied one An
American present thought he would
stump" the host by ordering pom
penou;" but 10 and behold that deli
cfOus dish soon appeared. Then he or
dered Goldfish balls and Boston brown
bread" much to the amusement of his
French friends, but with the same re-
suit. No matter what the order given
1T was executed, and the host was ask
ed to explain how he managed it. It
seems he had notified several big res
taurantS in the neighborhood of his in
tention of giving this novel dinner and
had given orders to have almost any
dish that could be thought Of in readi-
ness should his guests request it, con-
sequently all his butler had to do was
to telephone for the dish as soon as a
guest ordered it. That the dinner was
an expensive one may be imagined, but
1t was voted the most novel one of the
season, and certainly everyone was
satisfied, as each person had his or her
favorite dish. In order that the nu-
merous viands which had been pre-
pared, in case they should be ordered,
might not be wasted the host hired a
hall for the same evening and the
dishes that We're ready, but which did
not happen to be ordered by his guests,
We're served to the poor assembled ex-
preSsly in that hall for the occasion.
Thus he gave a. novel entertainment to
his friends and Charity dinner at
the same time. 1t is said a rival mil
eliona1re here intends to give a similar
dinner on Christmas eve, but instead of
each, guest being served with his or
her favorite dish the poor people in the
adjoining hall will receive that while
the guests will get what is left. 1t re-
mains to be seen if the poor will be as
we'll pleased on this occasion as they
were at the initial dinner of this kind.

design upon the lower part of the skirt
and a similar design was carried out in
the large collar and cuffs that finished
the coat. White kid is used with good re-
suits on black, gray and colored cloths,
but when it is employed it must be in
much smaller quantities than colored
suede.
On the suit illustrated. which is of a
bright blue French cloth, white kid is
used for the collar and cuffs on the coat.
These are not, however, turnedback
cuffs and collars, but the kid is set in the
coat in the shapes indicated and is edged
with bands of blue velvet. of a darker
tone than the cloth, worked with large
white silk French knots.
The short coat is tight fitting and the
skirt is made with ox-plaits that termin-
ate in points below the hip line and are
stitched fiat to about the knees.
