What Materials Are Fashionable and

Panama cloth, first launched as a
plain material, now shows small self

plain Panama so far has the preference.
The sudden and decided vogue of this
material is rather inexplicable to the I'M

beautiful; but concerning it's popularity
there is no question, and it is fast ell

Principal Events That Have oc-
Cured in the Old Countries
Within q Week SO.

PA Or. Sven sHedin, the great Swedish
explorer Of Central Asia, in his great
letter to- the London Times on the
union question, contends that in the
event Of a dissolution of the union
Sweden could not afford to be inditfer-
emf 'lEN 10 Norway's fate. Russia would
probably seize the strip of Norwegian
territory stretching from Lyngen Fjord
on the west to Jakobj's river on the
cast. for the sake OF the warm water
ports Norway has on this deeply in
denied coast. The powers, Mr.. Hcdin
says, would then want concessions at
other points on the Norwegian coast.
MIR. Hedin argues that the extinction
OF Russia's hopes in the Pacific ocean
makes such q danger very real 1t is
plainly for the interests of Sweden and
Norway, he says, and in the interests
OF I'll powers desiring to preserve
the balance of sea power, that the con
sular dispute should be settled on alb

"Tongs' Not Strong Here
"There are about seventy-fve China
men in Minneapolis and about forty in
st. Paul, - said w. ID. Morse. Their
callings are merchants, laundrymen and
restaurant keepers. A good many be-
long to longs or societies, but they do
not recognize head man either here

or three native born Cinnamon and two
women. They do not. congregate in

New York, March 4.-Here to ask,

United States shall refrain from inter,

a. revolution shall have deposed Fresl-

tative of the Revolution Libercadora,
which, under the leadership Of General
Matos, waged unsuccessful war war
against Castro in 1908, says that the
new revolution was to come soon, and
predicted it's ultimate success.
Senior Andara says that he brings full
credentials for the leaders Of the. oppo-

in dispute in Venezuela. He arrived

Conditions like these beget such ignor-

Popular interest in the grand opera

three performances to be given and this
is not strange when it is remembered
that for each performance there is an
equally strong attraction. At the first
performance there is "Parsifal,' but
