WASHINGTON. D. C.. Feb. l6.- The suggestion that aR American commission review the returns of the Cuban pres idential election, in order to ascertain that no election fraud is perpetrated. is considered at the state department as a possible solution of the revolutionary situa tion in Cuba.

MANUFACTURERS OF NEWS PRINT
 CRYING QUITS

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Feb. 16.-- On account of the fact that they are facing prosecution in the federal courts on the charge of effecting combinations in restraint of trade in holding up the price of their pro, duct, the news print paper manufac- turers have proposed to the federal trade commission that the commis- sion fix reasonable price for the output of the principal manufacturing plants and mills of the United States and of Canada. It is believed that the commission will accept the pro- posal, for, after rate Is once fixed 1t will nave attained it's object in starting legal proceedings against the manufacturers. If the proposal Is accepted by the trade commission the acceptance will mark the ex. pansion of the functions of the gov ernment, according to the officials.
 For their part, the manufacturers seem willing to see the paper war, which has been going on in this country for the past six months. come to an end They assume that if the commission accepts their pro- posal, the grand jury investigations commenced at New York will be dropped and that there will be no further prosecutions.

THE ESSMAkERS'
 DRESS" IS LATEST

, z, . (, ,o |, . Q . q o q . '
 The "dressmakers' dress" which is heralded as the incoming mode. cannot fail to win over admirers when it is presented in models as chic as those G0w shown !n the new suit departments, says an exchange. Nothing less than genius ever sue Cccded in making one piece dress of such originality and beauty, that is equal to doing the duty of suit. There is d double skirt, with the overskirt full and the bodice opens over an embroidered vest. The vest and overskirt provide as much warmth as the coat in a coat suit.
 The underskirt seems narrower than 1t really k. This effect is more d matter Of straighter lines than scant material It is full enough for comfortable walking. The overskirt is laid in four plaits at each side of the front and in box plaits across the back It is bor- dered at the front with six narrow folds of silk. and they give it very slight flare at the bottom
 The bodice is an affair for an eX- pert dressmaker to describe, and the uninitiated fashion reporter can only marvel at it. It is draped away from the vest at the waistline and ornamented with folds of silk that extend themselves to the skirt A tab of embroidery lends line of bright color to the sedate tones of the cloth and silk folds and repeats the design (of which there is a glimpse) that covers the vest. The bodice appears to be in one piece, with the skirt at the back.
 Full straight sleeves are shrred in at the wrists and bordered with fur and soft muffler collar of fur protects the throat. Any of the soft wool fabrics might be used in a dress of this kind, and it is more than likely that we shall see It made in satin. The hat worn with it Is a Russian inspiration of satin embroid- cred with cOlOrcd silks. This is the last word in costumes
 Hats have been matched up with mutf and neckpieces, with bags and frocks, and now it remains for them only to be matched up with blouses.
