REPRESENTATIVE HAY, of Virginia,
has introduced a resolution calling upon
the Civil Service Commission for infor-
nation as to how many times, in what
manner, and for what purpose the civil
service regulations have been suspended
since 1885. Mr.. Hay wants list of
the persons who secured government en-
ployment by such suspension. Should
he secure the information he seeks it will
be shown that civil service is a humbug
from beginning to end aud is made a
cloak for those in authority to put what
persons they please in office and keep
others out.

by Mrs. Pauline Heilmann against her
husband, Adolph Heilmann. A sister
of the plaintiff, Miss Emma Xix, is
cited the cause of most of the domestic
turmoil. The complaint alleges that
Heilmann was constantly lavishing his
affections on Miss Xix. Mr.. Heimann

to give up the interstate agreement, and
this is the cause of so many additional

New York stock Market.

New York, March 4, II a. m.-There
was a slight increase in activity in the
stock market this morning, and it was
accompanied by a tone of considerable
strength. The speculative motive, how.
ever, appeared to rest upon the general
conviction that the market had been sold
to a stand. At the openingof the second
hour of business there was slight de-
crease in animation, but the undertone
of the market remained strong.

In HIS speech before the Virginia
Democratic Association in Washington
last night Senator Daniel said "The
party stands for tariff reform, and | tell
you now that if the democrats do not de-
clare for reform in tariff administration
in 1904 the republicans will in 1905.
Let us make the demand part Of our
creed" This is excellent advice and
should be needed, and what the Senator
says about the republicans declaring for
tariff reform in 1905 is all true, as the
demand for lower taxes is growing and is
only being resisted by the trusts and
combines.

DISPATCHES received during the past
forty-eight hours from the scene of the
war in the East are to the effect that the
Russians are seriously considering the
ACCESSIBILITY of evacuating Port Arthur.
This is admitted by certain Russian Of
ficers who know whereof they speak.
Such a procedure would entail the cap
ture or destructian of the Russian fleet
now at Port Arthur and be virtual ac-
acknowledgement of defeat by the Gar.
The latter, however, hopes to concentrate
the struggle on the land, in which event
he hopes Russian soldiers will prove
themselves the superiors of the japanese.

ID. Lawrence Groner, and Congressman
Slemp. The latter declined because
Judge L. L. Lewis was not also elected,
but the convention ignored the decli-
nation.
George E. Bowden, of Norfolk, was

With comparatively slight opposition,
Mr.. Park Agnew was reelected State
chairman for term of four years, and
J. B. Stovall, of Halifax A. @. Peachy,

Norfolk, March 1.-The defeat in the
republican State convention early this
morning Of the entire anti-organization
faction, which sought to effect re-
organization of the republican party IN
Virginia, and which resulted in the
re. election of George Bowden national
and Park Agnew State
chairman thus retaining absolute control
of all the party machinery, is declared
by the "antis" to be an empty victory.
The latter declare that President Roose-
velts familiarity with party affairs in
Virginia and his word given that he will
take hand in matters in this state
after the November election, is sufficient
assurance to them as to who will be the
real victors in the end.
The only recognition which the organ
ization forces consented to give the
frank and file'' faction was 10 put the
name of Congressman Slemp at the tall
end of the delegates-at-large to Chicago.
Regarding this as an empty honor,
Slemp declined and was stating his rea-
sons when he was swept from his feet by
the sudden adjournment by those oP-
posed TO them.
The result of the convention will be
two republican candidates for Congress
in each of the ten Virginia districts next
fall.

well as more gorgeous passementerie
and gimp.
A lot of coarse lace is being used
with the ine-taced cloth dresses, chiefly
Maltese or yak, dyed to match the
frock in color. For instance, a bright
shade of navy-faced cloth is made with
bolerS showing insertions of medal
lions of heavy Maltese lace, dyed to
the same shade, and decorated with
velvet buttons in different sizes; the
bolero is edged with little chenille balls
and is fitted tightly into the back with
a deeply swathed corsage of velvet,
falling loose in the front over a waist
coat Of shaded blue and green velvet
embroidery anu soupcon OF lace. The
skirt is prettilly pleated in at the hips
and is decorated with buttons round
the feet where it is very full; it is
worn over soft brocade petticoat.
Then l have seen brown corduroy
cloth. made in plain but very smart
tailor style; the sleeves are very grace
full and not quite tight. The cuffs and
revers are of copper-colored embroid-
cry. The basque is full and is longer in
the front than at the back, finished
with brown braid, three rows of which
appear on the plain but long, full skirt.
With this is worn a delightful tricorne
hat in brown chenille, decorated with
shaded autumnal roses to tone with the
gilet Of the same faded brown and cop
per tones.
/ must tell you Of an afternoon tot
lette de visite in olive green cloth; the
skirt is trimmed with graduated bands
of brown and green taffeta; this is
worn with a bolero of cloth, decorated
with the bands of taffeta, loose in the
front and fitting at the sides and back
into tight, beautifully shaped band of
green suede; beneath this bolero is a
dainty blouse of cambria and the hat
is of shaded velvet and plumes.
Beautiful brocades will be seen in
the toilette de visite and taffeta is by
no means passe. We shall see fur
trimmings later on, especially on the
new paletots.
Paquin is making a special feature
of beautiful stoles of silver fox. and
this is so becoming fur. Lovely boz
leros are made of chinchilla and Direc-

sable and ermine.
There are very few capots worn; but
small eighteenth century hats seem to
daily becoming more popular, with big
plumes at the side, while large Direc-
| toire hats will accompany the gowns
of that period.
Beautiful models of Louis XVI. bro
cades are favorite evening dresses and
| Worth is showing some wonderful ex-
amples in bright and faded shades of
vieuX rose.
The Princess robe will, l think, gain
favor both in cloth and velvet.
AS rule the Partisan, for the street
at any rate, likes quiet colorings and
neat dressing. The neat tailor-mad
coats with short basques show quite
plain sleeves with velvet collars and
cuffs. There are many pleated skirts
worn, and these are a little longer than
those of last winter. Tweed and plaid
skirts are to be seen in the Bots in the
morning, with coats of plain cloth to
harmonic in tone. Carriage wraps are
gorgeous, and here chinchilla will be
tremendously used in conjunction with
painted chiffon, beautiful velvet and
priceless laces. ANNETTE GIRVY.

all by the weight of their folds; but
such tremendous amount Of stuff is
