Baron Hayashi, the Japanese minis
ter, after reading Admiral Rojestven-
that it was impossible that any Japa-
nese torpedo boats could have been

own statement of indiscriminate fir
ing after such slight investigation
proved that the Russian fleet was like

War between England and Russia,
Baron Hayashi frankly admitted,
would be greatly to Japan's advant-

would be sorry to see 1t come, though
such a war could hardly consist Of
result of which would be a foregone
conclusion.
Exactly what method can be taken
to investigate Vice Admiral Rojestven-
skys statement does not clearly APP
pear. The Russian embassy here can
throw no light upon the alleged pres
ence Of torpedo boats in the North sea,
the British admiralty has no informa-
ton and fresh inquiry among the traw-
lers elicits no new facts The Rus
sian embassy thinks that a further and
more elaborate inquiry Is proceeding
at Vigo, where the testimony Of the
officers participating IN the affair is be-
ing infinitely recorded.

NO TORPEDO BOATS
WITH ROJESTVENSKY.
This Accepted as Proof That They
Wore Japanese.

Were Japanese.
ST. Petersburg, Oct. 27, 5:39 p. m.-
The statement that Admiral Rojest-
vensky's report declares that no tor
pedo boats We're with the squadron
when the North sea incident occurred
is confirmed.
Owing to the wide divergence be-
tween the two versions Of the affair,
it seems certain that some sort of an
inquiry is necessary to establish the
facts, but no steps in that direction
have vet been taken. The suggestion
is made that in order to satisfy both
parties, the inquiry should be made
by mixed tribunal. 1t is explained
here that an inquiry would not in
volve a delay in the voyage of the
squadron, as the dispositions of the Of
ficers could be taken.
At the admiralty there is a feeling
of great relief over Rojestvensky's ex-
PLANTATION and rejoicing at the fact that
their confidence that there was an
other side to the affair is vindicated.

has just been received here that the
Japanese yesterday assumed the often

1t is rumored that the Japanese have
taken all the Russian positions at Err
dagou between Huansian and Findiapu
on the road from Mukden to Bentsia-
putze, but the report has not been con-
firmed and looks improbable.

DIsGRAcED SENATORS.

There has never been time in the
history of the government when cor
ruption in all of its departments has
been so rampant as 1t is now. The
Postoffice, Land and Indian depart
ments are reeking with fraud. Nor Is
the corruption confined to the execu-
tive departments Of the government |
Its shiny tracks reach to the Senate
chamber and men high in the coun-
ellis OF the Republican party stand be-
fore the country charged with prosti- !
tuting their high Offices for personal
gain.
Senator Dietrich, indicted by the
United States Grand Jury at Omaha
on the charge OF selling postoffices.
stands before the country morally con-
victed of the charge, although he es-
capped trial and conviction. When first
indicted he was loud in his demand
for an early trial on the merits OF his
case that he might meet and put to
shame his defamers. But when the
test case came he interposed a miser-
able technically and was discharged
by the court He is bright and shiE-
ing light in the Republican councils
of Nebraska.
In strong contrast to the case Of
Dietrich stands that of en-Congress-
man briggs, of New York. He was in
;,to 10 nh NJ toll
to influence the postoffice department
to adopt the Croft fasteners. He stool
trial upon the merits of the case, was
convicted and took his punishment like
a man. He could have escaped trial
and conviction upon the same tech
nicality that Deiterich did, but he
chose to meet the charge against him
on its merits and not skulk behind a
construction of the law he had limo
Gently violated. briggs, though convic-
ted and punished, stands better be-
fore the country than Dietrich, the
seller of postoffices, who escaped trial
and conviction through the ruling of a
judge.
But now comes the Federal grant
jury at St. Louis with an indictment
against United States Senator Bur
ton Of Kansas charging him with re
ceiving $4,000 for services rendered
in influencing the postoffice depart
ment from issuing a fraud order ag
ainst the Rialto Grain and Securit!
Company of st. Louis. Burton is {
king bee among the Republicans o
Kansas.
There was a time in the history G
the United States when men Of tn
Dietrich and Burton stamp would no
be permitted to sit in the body Blu
if one can Judge from the current D
events that time has passed. Zeal TO
party seems to have taken the plac
of honesty and integrity.
The Senate should investigate tn
charges against Dietrich and Burto
and if any truth be found in then
they should be expelled from the boi

Foolish Jury Law.

The utter foolishness of the law
which excludes from the jury in crim7
inal cases every person who has form
ed an opinion as to the guilt or i'll
fluence of the accused is being Illus
trated by the fact that after a week
of labor attended with large expense
to the county only one juror was Sec
ured for the trial of the Chicago ca.
barn desperadoes. At that rate the
Court will be occupied three months
securing the needed twelve men, and
if any Of the twelve finally secured
shall be above the grade of idiots it
will be an accession for surprise. Mat
tiers have come to such a pass that
the more perfect the evidence of guilt
against the parties accused the great
er are the obstacles for bringing him
to trial on account Of the difficulty
of finding men who serve as jurors
who don't read the newspapers, don't
mingle in intelligent society, ana
| whose minds are therefore a blank as
+ far as the circumstances of the case

PATTERNS FOR SILK QUILTS.
Fig. ..

blocks are. united can be made uniform
ing. Basic each piece of silk over a
block of stiff paper, and overstitch to-
gether on the wrong side. The papers
can be removed when the quilt is fin
ished. The width of the border is
usually determined by the number and
size of the pieces on hand.
Whether the border is plain, of silk,
satin or velvet, OF whether it is EN-
~broidered solidly, in outline or applique,
is a matter of taste and convenience.
The basket design shown in Fig. 2 is
excellent for using the small scraps
of silk. The dark handle should be
carefully basted upon the light silk,
then turned under and felled on both
edges. Put together with strips OF
light silk-although the colors may
be reversed with satisfactory results.
The old-fashioned ~log-cabin pattern
is especially good for utilizing rib
bons, samples or ruffles from skirts.
A very handsome log-cabin quilt was
made from two worn silk dresses, one
ivory, the other a faded blue. The
latter was dyed a golden brown and
having been made quite long and full
with a deep %fiounce, furnished sufi-
cient material, after the blocks were
finished, for a border of medium
width. The joining was covered with a
very fancy stitch done in ivory en-
bfoidered silk. The owner thought il
pretty enough to deserve a silk lining
which she purchased at A cents per
yard. 1t was bound with brown taffeta
ribbon.-Ohio Farmer.

ABOUT RIBBON WORK.
It Produces the Most Effective and
Most Rapid Results in En-
broidery Known.

Ribbon work is supposed to be diff
cult and tedious. The reason for this
is that it was introduced by the shops
that supply deliberately designed
pieces of embroidery to their patrons,
in patterns combined with embroidery
and with tiny gros grain ribbon in
pale tints manufactured for the pur-
pose. The patterns were of the Louis
XIV. and Louis XVI. type, and the Ell
feet of the heavy garlands and elah-
crate stitching was cerainly extremely
beautiful and well worth the long and
tedious work which it necessitated.
but the patience and close application

acted as a deterrent to the majority

NEW FURs ARE ELABORATE.
Lace, Braiding and Fancy Buttons
Used Literally in Ornamental
ton of the Garments.

Although 1t makes a woman gasp to
think of furs at this time OF year, YET
fashionable women are ordering their
winter wraps already, because anything
in fur can be gotten so much more
cheaply now than later.
The ST. Louis Republic says that al
though the seasons stock may not yet
be all made up in the fashionable ouses,
many sample garments, and plush and
cloth models are at hand from which to
see the styles and to order.
Furs this season are to be much orna-
mented. Lace, passementerie, braidins
and fancy gilt or cut steel buttons VIII
be used on these garments in great pro-
fusion. Vests of suede or cloth and ap-
pliques of these materials set on with
fancy braiding ornament many.
The vests appear in nearly all OF the
short jackets and boleros. Handsome
metal belts will also be worn as a finish
to many fur coats.
Sleeves are very much larger than last
season and show many variations. In
the most fashionable cuts the fullness
lies from the elbow up, rather than be-
low. An exact opposite to this effect ap-
pears in a sleeve that hangs full, but in
almost a straight line at the outer fold,
from shoulder to elbow. The sleeve is
so cut that from this point in to the
forearm is another straight horizontal
line. These two lines of the fullness meet
at the elbow at right angles, SO that
the effect of this sleeve is a square fall
of fullness at the elbow.
The old -fashioned eg-of-mutton sleeve
has a place this season along with the
bell sleeve, whose fullness is left loose
and that which is caught up, as well as
other forms of large sleeves.
Of all the fur garments seen this win
ter few will be mor popular than the
boleros and little jackets that just cover
the hips.
