Russia would have no objection to
the adoption by congress of a resolu
ton contemplating the abrogation of
the treaty of 1882, provided the words
employed are not offensive in charac-
ter.
The SulZer resolution is declared to
be undiplomatic, uncouth, and rough
in spirit and wording, and not in
keeping with the friendly relations
which have for so long existed be-
tween Russia and the United States.
Russia Protects Own Honor.
Russia desires to avoid a rupture
with this country. She wants to main
tain friendly relations with us. But
she holds that her national honor IS
impugned in the Sulzer resolution and
she will not permit anything Of the
kind without manifesting resentment.
This does not mean there is or
would be danger of war with the great
SiGv empire Neither Russia nor the
United States wants anything of the
kind. But it would have meant the
handing of passports to the American
Russia and that similar action would
have been necessary on the part of
the United States with respect to the
Russian ambassador and Russian con.
suls in this country.
Protest Carried to Taft.
The Russian protest was commune
Gated formally to the president by the
Pussian ambassador. An ambassador
has the privilege of going direct to
the chief of the state to whom he is
accredited. NJ Bakhmateff requested
the president and the secretary of
state to give him an interview. They
met at the White House and the am.
bassadOr then presented the com.
munication from his government OBJ
jecting to the spirit and language OF
the SulZer communication.
A long discussion of the situation
occurred, which brought out fully the
views of Russia as well as those OF
the United States.

on the skirt.
Before leaving the subject Of
scarves made of supple furs, 1 must
mention an exquisite set which was
recently made for the Duchess of
Teck, sister-in-law to the queen of
England. The duchess is a pretty
woman who understands the art of
dress and though she follows the
queens lead as regards patronizing
English dressmakers as much as pos
sible, she often makes large pur-
chases in Paris. So does the queen,
for the matter of that
The set in question consisted of an
immense scarf and muff, made of
black breitschwanz and lined with
black mirror velvet. One side of the
scarf, and also of the muff, was bor-
dered with white fox, and between the
black and white furs there was a
plated frill of chiffon in a rich shade
of purple The "set" was intended to
be worn with q costume of purple
cloth and with large picture hat of
black silk beaver, loaded with superb
black ostrich feathers. Another charm
ing scarf and muff, seen in the same
studio, was composed of black liberty
satin, with lining of pure white err
mine and a border of sable on one
side. The scarf was three yards long
and three-Quarters of a yard wide;
the granny muff was large in pro-
portion

Of the present season is LIE VeAleur
de Mutt" at the Theater Michel. The
acting in this piece is quite excellent
and some OF the costumes worn are
sensationally lovely. For example, a
lovely tea gown, worn by Madame
Sabrier, composed of soft satin in a
curious shade Of rose in which there
is more than a touch of dull purple.
The skirt was tight and clinging. with
a rather wide band of white fox or
the extreme hem. The corsage was
arranged in fichu fashion, with point
ed end falling at the back and a dra-
perry Of fine old lace depending from
the left shoulder.

GETS PROTEST FROM CAR

Washington, Dec. 1S.-The Rus
sian government has advised Pres
ident Taft that the passage of the
Sulzer resolution would be regarded
as an insult, and cause a severance
of all friendly relations with the
United States.
To obviate this possibility Presi-
dent Taft has decided to give formal
notice TO the Russian government of
the desire Of the United States to ter
inmate the treaty of 1882 The presi-
dent will send message to congress
on announcing his decision.
The senate Immediately will pass
and the house is expected to pass a
resolution approving and authorizing
the course pursued by the chief execu-
tive.
Sulzer Resolution Dead.
This means the Sulzer resolution is
dead. But had it passed and been ap-
proved by the president the language
OF the communication made to Mr..
Taft by Ambassador Bakhmateff left
no doubt in the mind of administration
officials as to how 1t would have been
construed by the st. Petersburg au-
thorities.

make an ideal dinner gown, was COM
posed of leaf green liberty satin,
yelled in black mousseline de sole,
with a panel of black mirror velvet
running down the front of the cling
ing skirt and some very lovely en-
5roideries on the back of the skirt
and also, in fichu fashion, on the
shoulders; these embroideries, which
were worked on black silk net, were
carried out in steel and jet beads in
termingied with black and emerald
green silks, with a subtle touch Of
dead white here and there. The train
Of this gown was pointed and the
transparent sleeves were composed
entirely Of black mousseline de sole,
edged with "grelots" of steel and jet.
Still another evening gown was COM
posed of oyster white satin, with a
tunic Of white net thickly embroidered
all over with pearl and crystal beads.
This embroidery was SO close and
thick that it formed a sort Of coat OF
mail, and on this glittering surface
spray of lovely silver lies was thrown!
This spray crossed the figure at the
left side, and on the corsage, which
was also completely covered with en-
broidery, there was single large lily
just over the bust at the left side.
A curious detail of this costume was
the long pointed hood, of embroidered
net, which hung loose at the back.
This hood was very long, and it was
finished off with an immense taSSoI
of crystal beads. These picturesque
hoods falling loose at the back of
evening bodices are leading features
of the present season. One finds them
on handsome gowns of all kinds, and
in one or two cases I noticed that the
dainty hood was lined with ermine.
On coats and nantes, too, these hoods
are very much the fashion, and, as
rule, they are fashioned after the
manner Of the hoods worn by Fran
ciscan monks.

present season is pure white
ermine of the most supple de-
scription. Everything is done
to render the little skins soft
and pliable and in some cases ermine
coats and nantes are arranged in
such way that they hang in cling
ing folds as though composed of crepe
de chine or Oriental satin, writes
Idalia de Villiers in the Boston Globe
Never, think, was the art of the fur
rier so much in evidence as this win
ter. It is not considered enough to
have furs beautiful in themselves, but
they must also be arranged and trim
med in the most elaborate manner
The correct thing is to have them
supple as soft satin. This extreme
pliability has been made necessary by
the designs which are in favor this
winter; for example, the ultra wide
stoles and scarves and the immense
fat muffs. The fur stoles and scarves
OF the present day are very wide and
very long and it is considered effective
to wear them draped round the figure
In q curious and particularly pic
turesque fashion.
The wide stoles, now in universal
favor, are generally worn thrown fat
across the chest and bust and draped

BURIAL OF
BELMONT VICTIMS

At Tonorah Monday with every
business house closed and the in
insignia of mourning appearing
everywhere, including the turned
rules of the daily paper, the day
was devoted to paying a tribute to
the dead who lost their lives in the
Belmont mine fire.
Fourteen bodies were escorted to
the grave by the comrades of the
victims, while more than 1000
miners from every camp in the
vicinity came to Tonopah to at
tend the funeral, which was the
largest ever held in the state.
Mourning for the dead was not
confined to Tonopah, for on every
public building throughout the
state, by request of Governor
Oddie, flags hung at half mast.
Services in the churches had
drawn large crowds on Sunday,
but the closing ceremonies were
conducted in the Nevada theater,
filled to over-howing, while ia
short service was held.
OF the seventeen men identified
fourteen were buried. Their names
follow:

and children, the posse made a
rush and captured the girl and
three smaller children. The latter
stood their ground to the last,
wounding one OF the posse with an
arrow and fighting with sticks and
stones until overpowered.
According to the telephone re-
ports received from Captain Don
nelly, the squaws fought bravely
bg the side of the bucks and under
the circumstances, the killing OF
them and the children was un-
avoidable.
A message was sent to Kelly's
ranch ten miles distant, where a
wagon was obtained aud the cap
tives and the body of Hogle taken
to that pa,e. The Irdi .ns were
buried where they fell after the ar

Skinney Pascal dropped from his
horse unhurt and fired twice. In
dian Nike fell and was seen to
crawl away in the bushes where he
later was found dead.
When they saw their leader
fall, the remainder of the band
started down canyon driving
stock before them. A running
fight ensued. The bucks with
their rifles, acted at first as a rear
guard, while the squaws and chill.
dren ran ahead. One OF the
young bucks fell under the posses

Two miles down the canyon, the
Indians crossed a ridge and went
into another smaller canyon. Here
they made a stand. When the
