SHE LOVES FLOWERS.


Chfna's Empress Dewnger Has fsn-
eIou FOR Natures Beauties.
Her majesty's love OF flowers was
one of her characteristics which seem
ed most incompatible with the idea
had formed of her from what I had
heard. and her love OF flowers and all
nature caused me first to change that
idea, writes Katherine Carl Of China's
Empress Dowager. It seemed to me no
one could love flowers and nature as
she did and be the woman she had been
painted.
She had flowers always about her
Her private apartments, her throne
rooms, her loge at the theatre. even
the great audience hall, where she went
only to transact affairs Of state and
hold off1cfai audicnces-alI were deco
rated with PROPULSION OF flowers, cut
and growing. but never, though. OF
more than one kind at q time. She
wears natural flowers In her couture

ever careworn or harassed she might
be she seemed 10 ind solace In howefs.
she would hold a flower 10 her face,

or turn a jardiniere so that the grow
Ing plant might have more favorable
,posltio
The Chinese do not place certain cut
flowers In water, but keep them dry In
bowls or vases to get their full frag-
rance. The Empress Dowager had some
quaint conceits about the Arrangement
of these. She would have the corolias
Of the liIy-bloom or the fragrant Jas
mine placed in shallow bowls in curl
GUS. star-like designs. beautiful to look
at, as well as most fragrant.
Her passion for flowers being Eener-
ally known among the courtiers, prin-
ces and high ofiicials. they send daily
offerings to the palace OF all that is
rare and choice Ia the way OF plants
and flowers, for they know this Is one
present her majesty will always accept
and appreciate
There are some quaint customs In the
palace as to flowers and fruits that
grow within the precincts. Through
the princesses and ladies have the free
dom OF the gardens and may pull as
many flowers and Gull as many fruits
as they wish. II Is not etiquette for
them to gather the smallest fower or
to touch a fruit when Id the presence
of the Empress Dowaser. unless they
are specially told to do So. When her
majesty tells them To pull lower or
fruit, the permission 10 gratefully ac-
cepted and that special flower or fruit
religionsly kept. The flrst fruits of ev-
cry tree and vegetable, the first flow
ers of every plant and growing shrub
In the palace grounds are considered
sacred to their majesties, and no prin-
ness, attendant or eunuch would touch
q flower or fruit until the Empress
Dowager had been presented with the
first of them. All these apparently
trivial marks Of respect to the sacred
persons OF their niajesties were reiigs
iously observed.

VIII Work for Constituent Assembly ~
AZ In mnnnamAAA.

st. Petersburg. Nov. 7.---Count witte
has definitely pledged himself to sup.
port the plan for the convocation of a
constitutional assembly when the Dou-
ma meets IL single representative
raises the question.
He Is exceedingly anxious to win the
support of the zemstvoist Party which
he does not hesitate to declare con-
forms to his political ideas and which
he evidently regards as the strongest,
safest and most influential factor in the
future political life OF the country.
The Count has been IN almost con-
slant consultation with the leaders of
this party but they have steadily re-
fused their allegiance. except on the
condition OF the convocation Of a con-
stituent assembly based on universal
suffrage.
Count Witte has as persistently op-
posed the demand, insisting that the
matter was for the Douma itself to de-
eide. At the same time he announced
his personal BELIEF that In the end such
an assembly must be summoned.
Finally in the course OF a long con-
versation with M. Ivan Petrunkevitch,
member of the Moscow Zemstvo and
President OF the Moscow Agricultural
Society, the Count said:
II give YOU my word OF honor Mat II
when the Douma meets one Represent
ative demands a constituent assembly, 1
Will support him"

TROUBLE IN CAUCASUS.
Fighting Between Armenians, Tarta
and Russians.


and Russians.
st. Petersburg, Nov. THE news
from the Caucasus Is particularly bad
today.
Fighting between Armenians, Tartars
and Russians In the Daghestan. Kutais,
Terek and kuban districts assumed a
ferocious character and every attempt
of the troops to restore order resulted
In the populations turning upon the
soldiers and fighting them with arms
and bombs.
Two companies of Cossacks are re-
ported to have been entirely wiped out.
The entire trouble is OF revolutionary
character, but 1t gives the people an
opportunity to manifest their race
hatred, and the most horrible atrocities
have been committed.
According to q merchant who has
just arrived from Baku the scenes wit
messed there were beyond belief and
not only murder. but torture in all
forms has been perpetrated. An Ar
menian girls fingers were cut on one
by one and afterwards her arms and
legs were amputated by Tartars, and
she was allowed to expire in untold
agony.
