The fete opened a little after O'Clock
with a drill by Troop II, Thirteenth
Cavalry, from Fort Myer. A drill park
had been roped off and as the big black
horses lined up the hill single file to the
music OF the post band IL was an inspir-
ing and beautiful sight. AS soon as
they had gone within the inclosure
Lieutenant Bieprick and Lieutenant
Merchant look lnelE pieces at the neaQ
of the troop and put tbe men through a
saddle drill. Rounds Of applause fol-
lowed every movement, but when later
the men removed their caps and coats
and took the saddles from the horses for
bareback exhibition the enthusiasm of
the watchers was unbounded. The troop
went through all the daring maneuvers
which have made the drills at Fort
Myer famous and each horse seemed TO
know as well as his rider exactly what

Peace, Decision of Men
Unanimous.
MEET OPERATORS AGAIN
SubScale Committee VIII
Ask That There Be No
Discrimination.

SCRANTON. Pa, May 5.-There win
be no coal strike.
The miners convention this morning
unanimously adopted the resolution ac-
cepting the award OF the strike COM
mission for another term OF three years.
President Mitchell made a strong anti
strike speech, in which he said that he
would never consent 10 the proposition
or the arbitrators for limited arbitration.
He declared that what the miners had
secured by strikes they proposed 70
keep.
The convention then adjourned until
Tuesday. The sub-scale committee will
meet with the coal operators Monday in
New York to secure assurance that there
will be no discrimination.
The Scale Committees Report.
Mr. Mitchell made public the follow
ing report Of the subscale committee
adopted by the convention:
For several months we have been en-
deavOring TO negotiate q wage scale
and an adjustment OF conditions of en-
ployment with the representatives of the
anthracite coal mining companies. Dur
ing these negotiations we made a num-
Der Of propositions, each of which ma
terially modified our original demands
We did this not because we were con-
vinced that our original propositions
were unfair or wrong. but purely for the
purpose Of finding a common ground
upon which We could reach an agree
ment that would secure and maintain
peace in the anthracite coal industry.
we still believe that our proposition
was reasonable and fair. notwithstand-
ing the notifications we have since
made in the interest of peace; and now
we are face to face with the alterna-
tive Of continuing at work under oar
former conditions or declaring strike.
In this crisis your committee recon-
mends the following policy:
First That we agree TO work on the
basis Of the award Of the anthracite
strike commission for such period OF
time as may be agreed upon mutually
between the representatives OF the
anthracite coal mining companies and
our scale committee; provided that all
men who were suspended on April l. or
since that time or who have been dis
missed because they stated that they
would refuse 70 work n a strike were
declared, are reinstated in their former
positions and working places
Another Meeting With Operators.
Second. That the scale committee
proceed at once to meet the representa-
tives Of the coal companies with view
TO securing an agreement upon this
basis.
Third. That the convention remain in
session until Tuesday and the scale COM
mittee shall report TO the convention
al that time.
Fourth. That the suspension Of work
shall continue until an agreement has
been made, and its terms approved by
the committee"

conference on Monday, was sent. II A

committee will proceed 10 New York 10

the early Victorian ladies never wore
them 20 many inches of their heads as
thsy do today The pose OF the 1aunty
Partisan hat of the moment is almost
ridiculous, and among exclusive dress
ers It has had its vogue.
yslenciennes Is used ON the new
froeks by the miles instead Of by the
yards. Upon the sheer frocks Of chif-
fon, tulle and gauze affected by the
debutante there is simply no limit to
the use Of this dainty but no less serv-
jceable weave.
The princess effect is one Of the most
modish at the moment, and where the
gown is not after this design absolute
ly the aim is TO produce the effect In
trimming applications.
For a short dancing frock there Is
nothing prettier than an accordion
plated skirt. Few of the waists are.
however, plated this year, as in this
style there is no room for elaborate
hand work.
The gown in the illustration is Of pale
blue mousseline de sole. The full skirt
is elaborately trimmed about the bot
tom with ribbon embroidery and val
lace. Crossed bretelles of ribbon adOrn
the baby bodice. which has bertha Of
deep lace. The sleeves are dainty
tufts of lace and mousseline.

all the pieces of the same pattern OF
embroidery or lace are more exquisite
than ever. Real lace adorns this ex-
pensive lingerie. American women
have grown SO particular that nothing
but real lace is thought good enough to
90 with hand embroidery.
A lovely gown Of Indian red voile for
q girl Of twelve has its skirt made with
q full nounce, In which are two deep
tucks set on the upper part Of the
skirt under another tuck. Broad tucks
set the waist of In sort Of square,
and just inside II wanders graceful
little vine embroidered In silk which
matches the red voile exactly. Drawn
work done directly on the volle makes
o yoke, and the same drawn work
Just narrow lines Of the thread caught
together In simple pattern-runs all
around the full nounce Of the skirt.
The sleeves have draped uppers and
deep cuffs. The gown is made over
white silk. 70 that every bit Of the
drawn work shows to advantage.
New pins Of the safety order rep
resenting enameled orchids and other
flowers are three and four inches In
length. They are meant to pin together
boleros, stoies and collars and are quite
effective.
The girls dress pictured Is OF blue
and white spotted challie. The skirt
has three straight gathered founces.
A princess effect is gained by the skirt
and waist being shirred together. A
smart collar and tabs Of lace make a
dressy finish for the bodice.

WASTING A FINE OPPORTUNITY

Senator Aldrich gave Senator Till
man a chance to distinguish himself,
to make a record which would be of
lasting benefit to himself and of ire
mendous advantage to his party In
the coming campaign. When the rate
bill was turned over to him, he had
the opportunity of his life, but it is
doubtful if Tillman is big enough to
meet the emergency
In the debate on the resolution to
investigate the ownership of coal and
oil properties by public carriers, Sem
and made an exhibition of his inca
pacity for leadership. Because the
president called attention to the fact
that the resolution would probably be
barren of results unless the inter-
state commerce commission were
given power to compel the giving of
testimony and were provided with
funds with which to investigate, the
resolution would be of no effect-a
fact which is patent to everybody
Senator Tillman must needs assume
the attitude of being grossly offended
and of being the defender of the hon.
or of the senate and break out into
violent abuse Of the president. I'm
doubtedly Senator Tillman has some
good qualities, but his deficiencies are
so many and his lack of the elements
of leadership is so conspicuous that
not much is to be expected of him in
connection with the rate bill. The
rate bill will pass, but it does not ap-
pear that Senator Tillman is likely
to get much glory out of it or to pro-
duce much Of advantage for his party.
Tillman has brains but he lacks bal

SHOULD WELCOME REGULATION.

Timely warning to the old-line in
surance interests is given by Insur-
.ance Commissioner T. D. O'Brien of
Indiana He suggests that instead of
fighting reforms in the insurance
field, they should be leaders in the
effort to regulate life insurance more
effectively. Whatever else may be
said of the big companies, they are
organized on a basis of rates solid as
Gibraltar
The unfolding of gigantic Irregular
tiles in their management has driven
away policyholders, and above all
things the public has become con-
WINGED that insurance is costing too
much The result is a rush for
cheaper insurance, which is supplied
legitimately through fraternal organi-
cations, but is also given by pseudo
fraternal and mutual companies that
evade reserve requirements and exist
on an unsound basis
One of the needs of the time is
regulation that will force these COM
panies to raise their rates and pro-
vide proper reserve guarantees to the
policyholders. There is too much in
surance of the kind that is cheap
when a man is young and able to pay,
and grows too expensive as he gets
old and nears the day of fulfillment.
The old-line companies should be in
terested in reforms that would force
all insurance on a safe level of rates.
At the same time, they should well
come any restrictive legislation which
will tend to restore public confidence
in themselves.

THE PAPER TRUST CASE.

The decision of the United States
supreme court in the paper and tobac-
co trust cases is of tremendous i'm
portance. 1t means that the creatures
of the government are not greater
than the government ITSELF that when
the government wishes to know how
they have been using the chartered
powers and privileges granted, it has
a perfect right to call for books and
papers and to compel the officers of
these creature corporations to answer
any questions which may be pro-
pounded with regard to the conduct
of the business.
That is common sense. It is such a
reasonable. natural conclusion that it
does not seem as if the attorneys for
the corporations could ever have
hoped to establish any other princi-
pie. 1t is unthinkable that the gov
eminent should create an institution
like a corporation turn over to it
powers which may lead to the COM
plete control of important lines Of in
dustry, affecting materially the well
fare of the people, and concede that
1t had no power at any time to inquire
into the use made of these powers and
privileges
CT &c i,,cf ~
try has been waiting for. The trusts
will have to talk. 1t will no longer be
worth while for a trust officer to
hide behind the advice of counsel. It
will do no good for counsel to inter-
fere. The theory that the trust Off
Ger can escape on the ground that to
testify is to incriminate himself. the
supreme court says. does not apply to
the corporation. While the individual
may not be prosecuted or punished on
evidence furnished by himself the
corporation is not so protected.
This decision is the most effective
weapon ever placed in the hands of
the officers of the law in their efforts
to break up the trusts We shall see
results now, which have not been pos
Sible before and if the trusts are not
destroyed, they will at least be COM
PEELED to be decent, and when it ap-
pears that they are abusing their cor
pOrate privileges, it will be possible
to find out exactly what they are do
ing and to punish them under the
Sherman law for its violation.
This decision is great victory for
