Miss Wilson and Mr.. Clark have
appeared in recitals together on other
occasions and really they balance a
program very nicely.
The Presidents daughter, while not
blessed with q great voice. is a culti-

grace which is very winning. She
has often sung for the blind at the

Quite Frank.
Lieut.. zinovi Peehk0ff. the interest
ing soldier chap who was 30 much in
demand at dinner parties and the like
during his visit in Washington this
winter, has been quite frank In the
expression of his views on the sub
tsct OF Russian Affairs past, present,
and future; and the New York Tribune
published an interesting interview In
which he predicted, among other
things, that Russia would not come
out OF this crisis q republic. but q
limited monarchy, with the Grand
Duke Michael At Its head; that her
efficiency In the war would be i'm
measurably increased and that the
Orthodox Church would become the

by q great noble who was himself so

charm to an unusually interesting per-

Imbued with an ambition to be a
painter, she started in to study when
she first came to this country, but
some one discovering her marked tai
ent for dancing, persuaded her to take
up this form OF art instead. She
studied under famous masters and

 IN COLLISION YESTERDAY

Gy hca13i5tcd Press.
 SEATTLE, Aug .28.-Additlonal details of the near disaster involving the steamers Jefferson and Victoria yesterday indicate that the collision occurred while the two steamers were proceeding through Millbank sound. The reports received here last night stated that the Jefferson was badly damaged but providentially none of the twenty odd passengers were injur- ed. A large part of the upper works of the Jefferson was stove in by the impact with the Victoria but the ves- scls was apparently not badly injured below the water line. The amount of damage sustained by the Victoria is not given out but is presumed to have been light.
 The Jefferson is reported at anchor in Swanson bay with her passengers still aboard. The steamer will probably he temporarily repaired and will pro- cced on the interrupted voyage.
