Landon Interested.

London. May 1S-Now that it seems definitely established that Vice-Admi- ral Rojestvensky has started on his n@rthward journey, there Is great re- yival of interest here in the Far East ern campaign. Kwang Chau Bay, where provision junks are said to be waiting for the Russian fleet is the most northward of French possessions on the Chinese Sea and the last port which Rojestvensky can select for his final departure to meet the Japanese It has a fine anchorage and sheltered channel where large fleet may ride in safety.
 Reports still circulate in London to the effect that the Russian Pacific fleets coaling arrangements are ex- tremely inadequate and have been the main cause of it's prolonged stay In Indo- Chinese waters and that the Ad- miral Is finding ever-increasing dtffi- culty on this score.
 The correspondent at Tokio of The Daily Telegraph says it is reported there that the Russian fleet will sail on Saturday or Monday towards Annoy or Foo Chow.
 Fears UnfOunded.
 St. Petersburg, May 1S.-The fears expressed here that owing to the re- ported nervous breakdown of Vice-Ad- miral Rojestvensky, the Russian fleet u commander-in-c chief turns out to be unfounded. Captain Zilotti, the aide de-camp of Minister of Marine Avel- tan, today authorized the statement that Rojestvensky has not applied to be relieved from duty. However the con- iition of the Russian admirafs health continues to be a source of anxiety. It is confirmed that the report that he had applied to be relieved may have arisen out of the virtual decision in view of the condition of Rojestvensky' s health to send Vice Admiral Birilef to Vladivostok, where, in the event Of Rojestvensky's success in the coming battle, Birileff will take over the supreme command of the Russian naval forces in the Far East and occupy a post similar to that of the late Vice Admiral Makaroff at Port Arthur. and of Vice-Admiral Skrydloff at Vladi- vostok S1 4 }e
 Naval Action Expected.
 Tokio, May 1S.-(Noon.) .)-The re- ported departure of Vice-Admiral Ro- jestvensky from Hong Kong Bay northward renews the popular expecta- tion of naval action in the near future. 1t is believed that Admiral Rojestven- sky having filled his coal bunkers, and re-supplied his fleet, is now in con- dition to assume the aggressive. if he so desires. It is the opinion of some that Rojestvensky may make demon- stration in the vicinity of the islands of Formosa and the Pescadores and then enter the Pacific en route for Vladivostok.
 This is. however. purely speculative Everything depends upon Admiral Ro- jestvensky's plan, which, while as yet undiscovered. may include extended stay in southern waters.
 It is reported that the contractors who supplied the coal and provisions to Admiral Rojestvensky in Indo-China waters. approached the French colonial officials prior to the arrival of the Rus sian fleet and arranged a rendezvous al Kamranh and Hon-Kohe bays. Con- frmation cf this report is, however, not obtainable.

Ripply Summer Canes.

AS pretty fashion as courts fresh
country breezes in swell turnouts on
sunny afternoons is the little cape of
cloth or silk worn with a muslin frock
and matching in color the sash, hat
and parasol.
1t is girlish style, just suited to
dainty, youthful get-ups. These little
capes, very svelte about the neck and
over the shoulders. and very ripply,
just like the skirts, as the tops of the
arms, are made of chiffon broadcloth
or Of taffeta, and are lined with the
thinnest silk, white or pale tint
The necks have fiat finishes, usually
ending In V or U at the front.
Sometimes the front are quite open,
just held together with strap or two.
These little capes come in good play
for an early evening walk or cool
afternoon promenade.

MAKING Velvet New,

Velvet cannot be sponged or pressed
or even dipped in gasoline, and unless
you thoroughly understand the proper
method of cleaning it you had better
not make the attempt, but send it to
some cleaner.
There Is one means by which it can
be accomplished successfully at home.
Try water and spirits of ammonia in
equal quantities. and rub the velvet
with brush dipped in the liquid. In
doing this be very particular that it
does not become soaked in any one
spot. When all stains have been re-
moved raise the pile of the velvet by
holding 1t over hot flatiron on which
wet cloth has been folded.
Use brush very lightly for those
places that are too much fattened for
the iron alone to renovate them.

Here's u New Japanese Fad.

A decorative and useful fabric for
which there is growing demand and
for which we are indebted to the Jap
anese is the grass cloth used for COW
ering walls. This comes in all the
standard colors, is yard wide, and
costs 81 for roll of eight yards.
The general effect when on the wall
Is very much that of burlap. except
that 1t is of finer weave and has al
most glossy appearance. 1t is made
of Chinese grass, which is woven In
the same manner as a loose weave
cloth or wooden goods.
A very thin coating of rice paper is
pasted with infinite care on the back
of the cloth to give 1t body, and also
to make it possible to attach 1t to a
wall, the grass cloth itself being OF
such fiber that it will not hold paste.
