AGREE ON RATE BILL
FACTIONS IN SENATE GET TO.
cETHER ON COURT REVIEW
FEATURE OF MEASURE.

Washington, May 4.-What amounts
practically to an agreement on the OK
listing differences concerning court
features of the railroad rate bill has
been reached by senate conferences
extending over the last week and Sen
ator Allison will offer an amendment
comforting jurisdiction upon tho cir
cult courts to hear and determine suits
brought against the interstate COM
MERGE commission. The amendment
will not suggest to the courts whether
their judicial review shall be confined
to constitutional questions or whether
it shall be an inquiry into the Justice
or reasonab]eness of the rates fixed
by the commission. Senator Long,
who made the principal legal argu.
ment for the house bill, and Senators
Aldrich and Crane, the leaders in the
movement seeking an amendment pro-
viding for a broad court review, have
expressed themselves as favoring the
amendment and both factions are
agreed that the compromise is salts
factory to President Roosevelt. I'm
doubtedy this means that obstacles to
the speedy passage of the measure
have been removed.

England Gives Sultan Ten Days to Get
Out Of Egypt.
London, May 4.-The British am
bassador at ConstantinOple has pre-
sented note to Turkey demanding
the complete withdrawal of Turkish
troops from Egyptian territory. The
note is practically an ultimatum and
constitutes Great Britain's last word
on the encroachment of Turkey on the
Siniatic peninsula. The French and
Russian ambassadors at Constantine
pie are supporting the British conten-
lions. Should the ultimatum fail to
have the desired effect the British
Mediterranean fleet will take the
measure so often employed by the
powers In recent years as the result of
disputes with the sultan and a naval
demonstration, it is anticipated, will
quickly bring about the evacuation of
tho Tabah territory, which Great
Britain contends 10 unQuestionably
Egyptian territory.
The sultan was given ten days In
which to comply with the demand.

New York, May 8.-Aftor carving
On negotiations for nearly three
months the subcommittee represent
ing the anthracite mine workers and
the operators Of Eastern Pennsylvania
during the day agreed to continue tho
award Of the strike commission for
another three years and tho men will
return to work as soon % practicable,

All miners who have not committed

Disseminated against because Of any

subject to the ratification Of the tri-
district convention Of mine workers at
Scranton this week, but there is not
the slightest doubt that the delegates
will approve the action Of their repre-
sentatives.
This outcome Of a dispute, which
threatened to develop into long, bit
ter struggle and paralyze a great in
dustry, was looked upon with consid-
cradle satisfaction by the coal road
presidents, as the agreement entered
into is their first proposition made
early in March in reply to the mine
workers original demands.
The miners had little to say regard
ing the agreement, except that it was
the best they could get. They pointed
out, however, that the agreement en-
tered into Is the first general agree
ment that has ever been signed be-
tween the operators and miners, and
they look upon it as step forward in
their efforts to have regular agree
ments with their employers.

grand pianos, which are graceful in

are used, and the effect is most at

better now than to pile the piano

Gowns for Little Girls

For morning wear during the
spring and summer little girls will
wear linen, duck and pique costumes.
The p1que is much less comfortable
than the other two, as it is stiffly
starched and is sometimes unpleas-
antly warm. Straight pleated suits,
with belts below the waist line, after
the Russian blouse style; sailor suits
and frocks made with white guimpes
and under sleeves, are the favorite
styles. Blue linen duck, made with
Gretchen waist, cut low in the neck
and short in the sleeves with a fiat
berthe of the material around the
low neck, are favorite morning
frocks for little girls. Brown linen
frocks without any trimming are
made with blouses, to be worn with
scarlet silk ties. For afternoons
there are tiny white dresses, with
deep yoke on shortwaisted bodice
and the skirt falling unconfined from
this after the empire fashion. Small
figured dimities are still favorites
for afternoon frocks for girls. These
and the thin white frocks are trim
a
little valenciennes lace. Much lace
or embroidery spoils the dainty eff
feet.
Plain colored lawns are not so
suitable as the spotted dimities and
organdie is not the best material for
children. Figured and plain batiste
are, however, admirable. They may
be made in one piece even for large
girls. They are made in the empire
fashion with shirred deep yoke or
one made of tucks, a skirt coming
very high under the arms and made
very long, bordered with insertion
or ruffle of the material. These
dresses have short, rather small
pulled sleeves, ending in a band of
stirring above the elbow, which IS
edged with lace. These are cut round
or square in the neck and finished low
with shirred edge or frill of lace,
A sash ribbon may go around the
waist and tie in bow at the back.
This bow should have short loops and
long ends.

Hats for young children have &C.
CURED a quaintness of style that is
particularly fetching this season,
framing as they do pretty young
faces. Severity Of outline has been
banished, except in the case of the
Neapolitan and leghorn, and the soft
dropping effect of the brim does away
with the hard lines of the average
straight edge.
Tuscan straws are most In demand
for young children, for the reason
that they are universally becoming
and lending themselves so admirably
to trimming of any sort, particularly
to the wealth of flowers Of every de-
scription which are used this year.
Next in point of popularity for lit
tie girls runabout hats are the Nea-
politan, and after that the leghorn
or Milan braids. AS in the case of
the hats of older girls tend toward
the Dutch models and some of them,
when tied down under the chin with
either big rosettes of ribbon or
lunches of flowers just over the ears,
are most charming.
Another, similar in style, instead
of being tied down with ribbons, is
weighted down either side of the
head with big pink peoples, one of
the flowers tucked under the brim and
resting on the hair most attractively,
Another distinctive style shows a
wide crown and broad brim fancy
straw with a trimming of soft rib
bon loops close to the edge of the
br1m outside, with half wreath of
the tin1est pink rosebuds IMAGINABLE
beneath the edges of the double
br1m. So far as flowers and spring
blossoms are concerned it is quite i'm
possible to make a mistake in their
selection, for every flower made and
those that never before were seen in
nature are among those used on tho
new spring hats for children.
