d The Seasons Styles q
y MEMS CLOTHING =

There is not town in the state or in
the west of its size whose men are bet
ter dressers than North Yakima's. They
can afford, as a rule, to follow the fash
ions so far as they choose, and they are
given opportunity to keep up with the
styles and buy at home the latest and
best clothing to be had, for the dealers
in clothing and gents furnishing goods
in this city certainly carry as fine stocks
as those of any of the larger cities of
the northwest. They are up to date with
this seasons offerings, and from the
new styles have culled the latest and
most attractive offerings. The new
goods are now nearly all in, and are being
very much admired.
"Hats vary some in style from last
seasons" said c. A. Marsh of the firm
of Marsh & Arnold. Everything this
year, whether stiff Or a soft hat, has
noticeably wide brim. There is a wide
scope in colors, but in all except straw
hats, tobacco brown and black will be
the ruling favorites. Straws for dressy
wear will incline towards a smaller
size with slightly narrower brim and
lower crown. Mems sailors will be
much worn, and will be almost altogeth-
er of soft straw. Straw Fedoras, with
a dip front, will be very popular. The
dressy stiff hat comes with a full wide
brim, and is about l-2 or inches
high, with a rather straight crown. A
new and pretty soft hat is the "Acorn,'
in black and brown, with a dip front
and full, four dent crown. There is al
SO the same thing in gray color. The
"Don," coming in either roll or plain
brim, is another pretty hat, and promises
to be much in demand"
ut would take good deal of time to
enumerate the new and pretty things
offered this year in clothing and furnish
ings," said z. Y. Coleman, manager OF
the E. B. Moore & Co. store. "By the
way, look at that new display window Of
ours; isn't it beauty! A travelling
man tells us he hasn't seen window in
all his territory that shows of the
goods SO well. But about the styles

Special Gable Despatch 10 The Sun.
LONDON, June l6.-The Paris despatch
sent to THE Sun Wednesday dealing with
the international situation is reproduced
prominently in the papers here this morn
ing. The Post says editorially that it over
shadows in interest all the news published
in many months. 1t proceeds to examine
the contents Of the despatch in detail, and
remarking that its own knowledge con-
firms part Of the statements therein. adds
that the remainder is consistent with what
Is known Of the present relations OF the
Powers, showing that the situation is one
of extreme gravity.
The Post contends that the m re fact
that the situation as described by The
sun correspondent Is possible makes it
the duty of every Englishman to think out
the problem. which, If the situation proves
actual, this country has to face. 1t points
out that the settlement to close the Russo
Japanese war will surely take the shape Of
an international crisis. probably making
the heaviest demands on the statesman
ship Of Great Britain, and perhaps also on
her powers of action.
Every good citizen ought to strengthen,
il he can. the Governments hands, to meet
a situation such as is alleged to exist The
crisis may require the thorough organiza-
ton OF the nation for war
The Daily Mail indorses the general cor
rectness OF the despatch. 1t emphasizes
the statement that the Kaiser is now the
great source OF danger on the Continent,
but demurs to the suggestion that England
is pressing Japan to reduce her terms to
Russia

PARIS, June l5.-Nationalist newspapers
assert that defensive and offensive treaty
was recently concluded between France
and Great Britain, which, Ike the Franco
Russian treaty. is secret.
The newspapers protest against parlia-
ment not being conslted in the matter.
1t is declared that the Kaisers threatening
attitude was due to his discovery Of the
existence Of the treaty.
1t Is learned from an excellent source that
after their conference yesterday Premier
Rouvier left Prince Won Radolin, the German
Ambassador, under the impression that tho
strain over the Moroccan situation had
been somewhat eascd.
Premier Bowler says that he will con-
tinue to hold the portfolios OF Foreign
Affairs and Finance until the external
questions that have arisen lately have
been settled.
BERLIN, June 15-The Kaiser is willing
to carry on negotiations directly with
France with regard to Morocco, without
abandoning the proposition OF an inter-
national conference, which however In
case the negotiations should be successfully
concluded, would become a matter of form
only.
LONDON, June 16-The Paris corre-
spondent Of the Telegraph, treating Of the
relations between France and Germany,
says:
What is keeping up anxiety is the fact
that Germany is not displaying a more
conciliatory attitude, and that she is evil
IDENTIFY resolved upon bringing all her in
fuence to bear on France. Germany never
liked the Anglo-French entente, and when
Russia's forces were shattered at Mukden
she began to chow her hand which has
become more manifest since the annhila-
ton of the Baltic fleet
"Her object is to deal blow at the Anglo
French entente. and, if possible, to detach
France from her friendship with England.
The time has come for plain speaking
Pressure is being put on France to this
end, and Morocco Is merely a prete1t
II the French Government were to make
every possible concession In regard to
Morocco to Germany the latter would
not he satisfied.
1T is even reported that Germany wants
a guarantee Of the pacific nature of the
Anglo French entente, but this is an obvious
exaggeration What Is true Is that she
is making herself intensely disagreeabe

of nervousness not to say alarm
