PLANTING Corn.

Des Moines, la, May 1.-THE report
of the bureau of crops and weather for

ing the Mississippi slope The rain
fail was light, except in Il few localities

anticipated that the larger part of the
corn area will be planted by the 18TH,

The growth OF grass and small grain
has been fairly good, though in con-
siderable portions of the state these
crops would be improved by warm
rains. The promise of the staple
fruits is yet very good in all sections.

FIongkong. May 1.-THE German
steamer Neumuhlen arrived here to-
day and is reported to have sighted
forty-five vessels, of which twenty are
warships, i'm the vicinity of Kamranh
bay. May .. The coasting steamer
Haimun observed Japanese cruisers off
Annoy, Straits of Formosa.
ST. Petersburg. May n.-Japanese
threats against France are not taken
Very seriously here. Russian authori-
ties continue to maintain Rojestvensky
has not overstepped limits of neu
trality. In view of the excited state of
the japanese over possibility of the
fruits of their previous land and sea
Victories being swept away. Japan's
protests are considered quite natural:
but her attitude toward chivalrous
country like France is regarded as a
blunder.
Britain Will Be Calm.
While Great Britain is expected to
support her ally and secure fair play
should Japan press France too far,
Great Britain, it is said. can be
counted upon to use all her influence
to calm the statesmen at Toxic. The
interests of Japan could not be served,
according to opinion here. by the ex-
tension of hostilties unless Togo is
beaten. in which case it is not doubted
that Japan will use the pretext of
French violation OF neutrality to de-
mand the fulillment of Great 43ritain's
obligations as her ally
The opinion is held i'm some quarters
tat it is exactly this contingency
which Japan has i'm view.
Paris Sends Orders.
Paris, May 9.-Many orders have Been
sent to civil authorities in French 1ndo-
China not to permit junction within
French waters of Russian naval forces
under Rojestvensky and Nebogatoff.
Instructions have been sent to Admiral
de Jonquieres the French naval COM
manaer. to see that ltojestvenslly fully
observes the promise he has already
given to leave French waters.
These orders resulted from the re-
cept of a detailed dispatch. giving
account of De Jonuuieres' meeting with
Roiestvenssy. The dispatch says the
cruise on the high sea outside the
threemile limit and then returned last
Saturday, anchoring at kong-Hai bay,
coast of AMMAN, to take on provisions
and fresh water. When De Jonquieres
was Informed OF the Russians return
he proceeded to Kong Hal and re-
gu 'sted Rojestvensky Immediately to
withdraw outside territorial waters.
Promised, but Forgot.
The Russian admiral gave De jon
quieres his word that he intended to
leave his anchorage and take to the
open sea. He also informed De jon
quieres that in his communications
With the land he had not violated any
of the neutrality regulations, and that
the stops of the Russian squadron
along the Indo- China coast were for
the purpose of resting the crews. The
Russian admiral said he would depart
the following day.
The French admiral returned to
Kong-Hai yesterday to see whether
Roiestvensky's promise had been car
ried out and found the Russian war
ships still at anchorage. but preparing
to depart. Rojestvensky assured him
the entire squadron would leave during
the night.

these need more trimming than mousse

The skirt was gathered at the top
and was trimmed at about the knees

GOSSIP FROM GOTHAM

Generous credit was given to the in
auguration committee for Washing
tons direct share as a community in
the ceremonies attending and following
the induction of Theodore Roosevelt
into Office. but there was a flaw in
the arrangements that surely was out
OF place in the nations jubilee WIS.,
itoIs who noticed IL criticised the COM
mitttee, and that it came to the at
tention of at least one member of the
presidents party was evident from the
smile with which Mrs. Fairbanks
glanced at the palms thanking the chief
executives box at the Inauguration
ball. 1t is true the pension Office was
decorated gorgeousiy for the ball and
that the tropical foliage was beauti-
ful-from the front. Somebody acting
for the citizens of Washington, how
ever, permitted dozens of withered
palms to be slipped among the greener
ones, and the decorations from the
side whence President Roosevelt saw
them were not of the freshest. Per-
haps Mrs. Fairbanks was inclined to
be hypercriticaL Anyway. she looked
pointedly at the yellow palm leaves as
she passed them. Miss Roosevelt saw
them, too. and plainly was not at all
pleased. The president, of course, had
no eyes for such trifies. He was too
busy acknowledging the almost con-
tinuous plaudits of the enormous
crowd that blocked the ballroom floor
to stand and gaze at him by the hour.
The negligence was not committed by
anyone connected with the administra-

charge of all decorations for the ball
