CHINA MAKING READY

Associated Press Morning Service
PENING, August 1.-THE railways
have been asked if they are able to
transport 10000 troops to Shanghai
kwan.
Shanghaikwan is an important stra-
tegic port on the Gulf of Pechii. The
place is on the railway leading from
Peking, via Tientsin, to Simuntun, west
of Mukden, and to Yinkow, the latter
place being in the possession of tn
japanese. From Picking to Shanghai
kwan is distance of about $50 miles,
while from Shanghaikwan to Mukden
it is about 200 miles. The railway
stretches north to Smuntun near which
a Japanese force is now said to be
operating, and should the Chinese assist
in the war they could be hurried north
from Shanghaikwan very rapidly.

Again in the belt line there was no7
ticed a girde made almost entirely of
wheel rosettes of lace upon a white
satin ribbon, the whole fastened in
the back under a large wheel of lace
and in the front under a buckle of sill
yer. This is lovely for the slender girl.
A most delightfully."- refreshing depar-
ture in the shirt waist line was no.
ticed In the case of a white linen shirt
waist, which was made In London fash
icn, tailored and smart looking. It's
trimmings consisted of stitched straps
of white linen and it was buttoned
down the right side with big white
pearl buttons. This waist, which was
all white, was as dressy as 1t could be,
and exactly the waist for the young
woman who affects severe styles.
spring costume of tan colored
broadcloth of light weight is made ex-
ceedingly smart by the addition of a
belt of coral suede with a big gold
buckle set with rhinestones. The stock
is made of coral colored Danne, with
rhinestone ornaments, and there are
large buttons covered with coral suede.
OF course the young woman for whom
this suit is built will carry coral red
silk umbrella with handle of gold. Her
hat will have a crown OF coral velvet
geraniums.

What the Belle VIII Wear.
The belle of the season will dress in
custard color. Her piazza gown. the
one she wears on fine days, will be a
custard lawn, embroidered in colorS-
Upon one. side there will be embroidered
a garland of roses, and the corsage will
be gay with them. She will combine
black and gold with her custard coIoTed
gown, and her effect will be something
entirely gorgeous.
Custard yellow and gold, carried out
in modest materials, make an exceed
ingly elegant combination and can be
recommended TO the woman who wants
one very nice dress at very moderate
cost.
A woman who is to attend an Easter
wedding, and who must wear hand
some gown, has purchased enough Gus
tard colored peau de cynge for a full
costume. Her stock will be sof black
velvet, edged with gold braid, and her
wide girdle will be of black velvet laid
in folds and stretched out very deep,
front and back Gold slides will orna-
ment it and there will be a big gold
buckle in the front. Her jewelry will
be heavy gold and she will carry large
black fan.
A novelty which can be rated among
the surprises of the season will, be the
deep gauntlet cuffs, which can be found
now as deep as the elbow. Over these
gauntIets the upper sleeve falls very
full The shoulder is tucked and trim
med.
a great many sleeves have the deep,
very tight gauntlet made of silk and
lace. Above the gauntlet comes the
full pun, and then there is the tucked
shoulder. The shoulder. besides being
tucked. is piped with colored silks. This

was in champagne e-colored veiHng.
The front of the skirt was perfectly
plain, displaying very long, wide
front breadth. Upon the hips at the
skirt was laid in little groups of gath
ers which extended all across the back.
This gave the figure a long. graceful
set of lines. Around the bottom of
the skirt there were two f1ounces each
one with a shirred heading. The shir-
ring consisted of several rows with
fat puffs in between and cordings laid
in the puffs.
A Spring OF Novelties.
There has probably never been a
spring in which so many novelties
were introduced. One of the quaintest
vet most effective is the fancy for bead
ing the front breadth of the dress skirt
in fancy designs. A gown of biscuit
colored cloth has a queer shaped figure
beaded upon it Just below the belt
and extending SOUTH as the seam
stress expressed il. The pattern was
q big beaded point.
The gown, which was very nicely
tailored onc-a little too fine for pedes-
trian wear and intended really for call
ing. was banded and piped with tur-
quoise blue.
The waist, which was cut on the
shirt-waist order, bloused and belted
under a girdle, had vest of colored
beads. These were very fine and very
glossy looking, almost like Jewels. The
effec. was opalescent and alluring and
certainly very deceptive from a stand
point of cost, for no nice trimming
could have been, less expensive. Bead
ing a pattern in little colored beads
upon cloth skirt is nice work for the
artistic dressmaker
Garlands of silk flowers and of met
allie ones and garlands of natural
blossoms will be worn for evening and
for cerenonious dinners, and in ar
ranging these the woman who wants
to introduce novelty must trim her
skirt with a garland laid in slanting
fashion across the front breadth. She
must also trim her bodice and she
must twine a garland in her back
hair.
The banding of the hair with gar

The hair, which is twisted in a long
low figure eight, is twined with sprays
of flowers, which are pinned into 1t
with invisible pins One long spray
can be wound in and out through the
hair or little wreath can be laid on
top of the coiffure. Never were gar
lands more fashionable for hair dress
ing that at just the present time.

is a style that is becoming to every
hand AID arm.
While mentioning the new features
Of the season. the round neck and the
fun sleeve must not be forgotten. A
great many neclss are cut without the
collar and the neck is finished with
ruching. This is all very nice for the
woman with a pretty throat. but a
little trying for the woman with thin
neck.
The full wide sleeve. falling away
from the arm. is also a little hard
upon the woman without an attract
i've hand and wrist. But the new
sleeves have so many inner ruchings
and ere so splendidly full and so at
tractively finished that they divert the
eye. They cover the arm pretty well
and form sort of dressing Of their
own. so the thin armed woman can
take comfort.
Lace and Ruchings.
One of the greatest departures of
-
en- into the realm of ruchings. These
are employed at the neck and wrist
and are much used in places of little
turnover bands, which have so long
held first place.
Not that the little turnovers have
gone out of style, but they are not
quite new to the eye of the fashion
able woman as the little chiffon ruch-
ing. This, whether made of chiffon.
or maline, or lace, or of net, is sewed
around the stock SO as to make a tiny
white rim and is also sewed in at the
wrists.
This tiny little white box plated
ruching looks quite quaint at first. for
it has been so many years since il was
worn, but, on second glance, one sees
how very becoming 1t is to the com
plexion, and its way into favor is as
sured.
Ruchings of all kinds are. in again
and the cleverest things are Zone with
them. Ruchings of black chiffon are
used upon shirt waists to make or to
outline yoke trimming and they are
used upon skirts to head the f1ounces.

sleeves cut off at the elbow. Below
the elbow there was a deep lace ruff

and around the edge of the ruffie
there was run a velvet ribbon, which
was tied loosely at the wrist. OF
course another ruffle of lace fell over
the first one, for ruffles of lace do not
travel alone.
For evening wear the lace ruff1e is
almost an essential of dress. A very
deep lace fiounce, with a chiffon head

corsage and the sleeves consist entire

particularly lovely.

WAR NEWS.

In Toxic, Japan, with the pros
poets of great war in view, there ID
no cheering, but crowds of weeping
women are seen in the streets. The
movements of ships in active prepare.
ton for troops make an impressive
scene.
In the event of war between Russis
and Japan the curious spectacle will
be presented of American warships
being pitted against each other, and
the naval men of this country and
the shipbuilders will be interested
spectators. The crack ship of the
Russian navy was built at the Cramp
ship-yard, and Japan's ablest war
ship was also constructed at that
yard. The two may engage in deadly
conflict in the course of the next few
weeks, and the result is not easy to
foresee. 1t is the opinion of naval
officers in this country that the vic
tory will rest with the best manned
vessel. 1t is admitted that there are
no drawer sailors than the Japanese.
but they are woefully lacking in
physical strength. They are as active
as monkeys, brave unto foolhardiness,
and as dashing as the French, but
they are soon exhausted and cannot
stand long tours.

THE RIVER TRADE.

The Fredericksburg papers are
anxious for better communication
with this section. So are we, and we
viii join with them in taking the
proper steps. Here is sensible view
and suggestion on the subject from
one of the papers Of that city:
Approach Henry Williams, ESQ.,, Presi-
dent of the Weems line, present the scheme
TO him in business way and for business
purposes; get him interested in the scheme.
Ask him to give us the facilities to meet
thewants of the river peoplet to come here
quickly and comfortably. Make it to the
interest OF the Weems Steamboat Co. to
give us this riverline ofone or more boats
OF light dfaught, comfortably and con-
veniently constructed for this trade.
There is nothing that we know OF more
important to the business men of Freder-
icksburg than this. We are advised and
speak from n knowledge of the subject,
that this trade is ours if we will only
reach out and get it. The people on both
sides of the river must come here and we
want them to come. Then we think, as
the spring approaches, it rs allimportant
that our business men should make some
systematic, organized effort for the pur-
pose OF retaining all OF the trade which
we now have, and increasing it. Our
business men should go to the Weems line
and have the materially discussed, have
1T presented asst should be. .Weknow Mr..
Henry Williams, the head Of that line; he
is a gentleman who has had, for a long
time, business connections and dealings
with our people and he will be found &C
cessibie, and we believe ready and willing
to give us the facilities we need, which
will pay them well, and are so important
to u.s."
Just add to it that the down river
terminus shall be Irvington, and
then the plan is complete.

TO DREDGE CARrER.s CREEK.

The Government has contracted
With Philadelphia firm of dredgers
to dredge the entrance to Carriers
Greek, and work will commence
sometime between now and spring.
The channel will be dug to the
depth of fifteen feet; something like
$4,000 cubic feet of mud will be
taken up and dumped into the mid
die of the river q mile and half
away. The Government engineer has
asked Congress for an appropriation
of $4,000 for jetties to protect the
dredging contracted for, or else the
dredged channels will soon shoal mp

thus increasing the estimated cost of
the work. These jetties are good for

edge of the channels from 100 to 800
feet long? Dark nights vessels will
have to look out for them. It is
something to those that have the
commerce of the port to look after, as
we want our harbor to be SO inviting
at all times as it ia possible to make
it. Besides, this will increase the
current so that with a head wind a
vessel will have q much harder time
to work her way in than she has
now.
In the annual report Of the Chief
of Engineers to the Secretary Of War
for the year 1908, the Commercial
statistics for this port are 30f, 300
tons for everything that comes in
this creek and goes out, and the
number of vessels during the year
was $3.50. Quite good showing,
