But to begin somewhere, let me call atiention to a dream of a gown that wvill probably find its way to Newport efore the summer seasonisover. The skirt, of delicately painted mousseline, adornéd with three rows of cerise rib“bon run through gauged slots, is sursnounted by a little coat of cerise taffeta. elaborately worked with ribbon and chiffon embroidery in five shades of pink. Just a few faint touches of gnauve occur about the front of the corgage, a contrast accentuated in the ehapeau, the chief point of significance, J%ef me explain, being found in a skirt ephemerality and coat of silk. And another example boasts a simjJlar coat in pale green taffeta, embroidered with a wheel arrangement of white lace, allied to asimply exquisite#y hanging skirt of white ririg-spotted nef, the flounces hemmed bebe black welvet, and embroidered with green f#affeta, a big black picture hat afford4ng a perfect crowning summit.- .

SOME FOLKS HARD TO PLEASE, A Disagreeable Passenger Who Raised an Objection to StraightLine Railway Maps,. “Look at that,” said an ill-natured passenger, pointing to a large map on the wall of the railway station, reports the Chicago Inter Ocean. “Isn’t that an abominable fraud ?” “What's the matter with it?” asked his mild companion. “Look how it is distorted,” said the other. “There is a map of a railway system from Chicago to New York. It is made to appear as following a straight line between these two cities, and yet on the map it appears to pass through every large town within 500 miles of that line. ‘- - “Just notice that towns like Cincinnati and Cleveland are so misplaced as to appear only a few miles apart, and Nashville, Tenn., is pulled 500 mibes from its real location.

APOLOGIZES TO DEWEY. Prince Henry Said to Have Written to Admiral Expressing figgret at Action of Germans at Manila, Washington, Feb, 14.—1 t is said Prince Henry has written a letter to Admiral Dewey expressing to him his highest personal regard, and wording his whole letter so that it amounts to an apology from Germany for the way the Germans acted at Maniia during the Spanish-American war. This letter will be received with great gratification by the admiral, for he has a high regard for the prince, and unpleasant relations of state made the situation somewhat embarrassing at a time when the American people expected him to represent them, and when he wanted to express his personal feelings in a public way.

. ['Two German men of war arrived at Manila within two weeks after the annihilation of the Spanish squadron, and these were soon reenforced by two others from Kiou Chou, Vice Admiral von Diedrichs arriving on June 17. Subsequently another German man of war reached Manila. The Germans then had a squadron of five cruisers in the harbor. Though the admiral had proclaimed the blockade at Manila Vice Admiral von Diedrichs was continually authorizing his vessels to move in such manner as to interrupt the operations of the blockading fleet. Apprehension was felt on the American ships that the Spanish torpedo boats which had sought refuge up the Pasig river would sneak out at night and torpedo one of the blockading fleet. It was customary/for one of the German ships to lower their launches after dark, and for these little craft to steam about the harbor. This was injurious to the morale of the American vessels, and was resented by Admiral Dewey. The belief also existed on board the American ships that German launches were communicating with the Spanish authorities. Besides annoying Admiral Dewey in this manner the German vice admiral was contiffually ordering his ships to visit points where the insurgents were operating.] RUSSIA’S NEXT MOVE. Uncertainty as to Whether She Will Withdraw from Manchuria in .~ View of New Treaty, Washington, Feb. 14.—N0 immediate change in the status quo is expected here as a result of the British-Japan-ese treaty relative to Munchuria and Corea. In making her pledge to the United States government to withdraw from Manchuria Russia used this language: = “As soon as lasting order shall have been established in Manchuria, and when the necessary measures shall have been taken to safeguard the railway, the construction of which has been guaranteed by a formal agreement with China in connection with the concession granted to the Eastern Railway Chinese company, Russia will not fail to withdraw her troops from within the boundaries of the adjacent empire, provided, however, that the action of other powers shall not stand in the way.” The question av Issué is whether this proviso may be regarded by Russia as having been violated by the making of the new treaty, thus justifying her in remaining in Manchuria. The answer to that question is expected soon and in the shape of a response to Mr. Tower at St. Petersburg, in connection with his protest against the Russo-Chinese bank agreement.

A . FEAR IS DISPELLED. President Roosevelt Believes His Boy Will Recover. So Strong Is His Confidence That He L»'*ite’tur!m to Washington—Mrs, Roosevelt Will Remain with the Patient, : Groton, Mass., Feb. 14.—The most eventful day at the Groton school since Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., became ill, closed with the departure of President Roosevelt for Washington late Thursday afternoon. Before that the president, in the homely phrase, “Ted has improved with such rapid jumps that I am sure he is out of the woods,” had told to the world of the load lifted from his mind. The day was full of happiness for the president and Mrs. Roosevelt and indeed for all who were at the infirmary or near. the school grounds. The first report from the bedside of young Roosevelt showed that he had passed a good night. After the morning examination by Drs. Lambert and Warren it was announced that the boy’s condition was progressing favorably. The report said that the lungs were clearing well, although the patient was’still in the second stage of pleuro*pneumonia known to medical men as the stage of-exuda-tion. Later in the day Dr. Warren stated that the patient’s temperature, respiration and pulse were normal, & decided contrast to his condition the past few days. The boy rested well all day, although his pulse was somewhat accelerated for a short period in the afternoon because of the departure of his father, President's Last Day at Groton.

The president passed a very quiet day. In the morning, after visiting his son, he spent most of the time at the Gardner mansion transacting otficial business. Before lunch he called on the other patients, the Gammel and Potter boys, and cheered them up with his kindly greetings. Then he proceeded to the Powell cottage and held a brief interview with the newspaper men, who had made that place their headquarters. The president feelingly thanked them for a gift of flowers to Mrs. Roosevelt and for their courtesy to him and his family during the trying days that have so happily ended. The remainder of his stay was with Mrs. Roosevelt and his son. At 4:15 p. m. the president, accompanied by Mr. Cortelyou, Mr. Barnes, the executive clerk, Principal! Peabody, of the school, and two secret service officers, left in a carriage for Groton village station. A special train was in readiness there to take the party to Worcester. At 4:30 the train left. Leaves for Washington.

The president was driven to the station in the private carriage of Dr. Peabody, the head of Groton school, who accompanied him. A crowd had gathered about the cars and the waitingroom to greet the chief magistrate, and as he passed to his car he was cheered. His résponse wasa smile and repeated bows. A few moments after the president entered the Columbia the train pulled out, promptly on time. Meanwhile Secretary Cortelyou, Executive Stenographer Barnes and Dr. Lambert had joined the president. As the train started the people at the station cheered the president again, and the president bowed his thanks from the platform.

Mrs. Roosevelt kept indoors nearly all day, her only taste of the cool, bracing air being during her walk from the Gardner house to the infirmary. She has borne up well under the strain. She will be relieved somewhat during the next few days by Miss Alice Roosevelt, who, the president had said, would leave Washington to-day for Groton. He also said that Mrs. Roosevelt hoped to remove Theodore, Jr., to the white house within ten days, adding that the boy would return te Groton to complete his course as soon as his health would permit. No visitors called at the school during the day. Thursday evening Prof. Jackson, of the faculty, called at the Powell cottage and assured the newspaper men that the patient was holding his own, confirming earlier reports by saying that his pulse, respiration and temperature were normal. Says the Boy Is All Right. Worcester, Mass., Feb. 14.—President Roosevelt’s special train = left here over the Consolidated at 6:10 p. m., after nearly an hour’s delay waiting for clear lines. In the Union station there was :carcely standing room about the president’s car as it waited to be attached to the regular train. While waiting the president came out upon the rear platform and said: “I am very pleased to see you all here; [ thank you for coming out. The boy is all right.” As the train started for Providence the president reappeared and lifted his hat. .He was in Worcester 40 minutes. o Takes the Oath, New York, Feb. 14.—Commander Booth-Tucker, of the Salvation Army, took the oath of allegiance as a citizen of the United States in this city Thursday.

THE KENTUCKY TRAGEDY.

Latest News from Battle at Lee’s “Quarter House,” Fixes Number of Dead at Five,

Middlesboro, Ky., Feb. 14.—Although the scene of the fight Wednesday, between the sheriff’s posse and Lee Turner’s men is only four miles from this city, it is still impossible to ascertain the exact casualties on the Turner side. On learning that the officers were coming to his “blind tiger” Turner called in his mountaineer followers, who kept up a hot fire till their building was burned. It is not yet known definitely how many were in the log barracks when the officers made the attack, how many were killed or wounded or perished in the flames. As those who escaped into the Cumberland mountains are still defiant and as the victims on Turner’s side were cremated, it is doubtful whether their losses ever will be fully known. There are reports of wounded Turner men being cared for in the mountains. As many murders for years have been reported in and about the noted log house, surrounded by a barricade 30 feet high, there are many expressions of satisfaction over its destruction, although all regret the loss of life. Knoxville, Tenn., Feb. 14.—A special to the Journal and Tribune from Middlesboro, Ky., says: The precise number of dead as the result of the battle at Lee Turner’s “Quarter House” saloon Wednesday at sunset is now believed to be five, although there are still reports that ten men were killed. The known dead are Charley Cecil, the Middlesboro deputy sheriff. who was killed at the opening of the fight; Mike Welch, who was Turner’s lieutenant; Frank Johnson, Turner’s barkeeper; Perry Watson and Jeff P. Prader. The last four men were buried Thursday afternoon in the same grave at the old Turner burying ground. Lee Turner, the proprietor of the fortress and saloon, which were bur_ned‘, bought each a handsome casket. The men were his stanchest allies. John Doyle, the town man who was thought to have been mortally wounded, will likely recover. Tom Hopper, an old man who was with Turner’s band, was shot three times, but succeeded in reaching his home alive. Lee Turner is now at the mines. He intends to rebuild his saloon and fort and says he will remain-if he has to keep a standing army of 500 mountaineers within his palisades. All‘is quiet and it is believed that for the present the trouble is over. Bones were found in the ruins of the burned saloon, but it is believed they are not human. A mannamed Russell is said to be missing. . '

LOSES HIS BALLOON.

S#ntos-Dumont Meets with Disaster in Ascent at Monaco—Falls ' Into the Sea.

Monaco, Feb. 15.—Santos-Dumont, the aeronaut, met with a disaster here Friday and had a narrow escape from death. His airship is a tattered wreck while his motor lies at the bottom of the Bay of Monaco. - The morning broke gloriously, but as there was considerable wind, Santos-Dumont decided mnot to attempt flight. Towards two o’clock in the afternoon, however, the wind dropped and the weather appeared to be perfect. With the exception of ‘an ominous. little cloud hanging over the hill called Tete de Chien, which overlooks the bay, the sky was clear and blue. At this hour Santos-Dumont announced that he would make a trip in his airship. A big crowd assembled at the entrance of theAerodrome, and as the large doors of the building rolled back, the airship emerged at 20 minutes of three. A

number of steam yachts and launches including the prince of Monaco’s yacht. Princess Alice. e d

. It was soon noticed, however, that instead of maintaining its usual equilibrium, the balloon rose and pitched inaway that created considerable anx~ iety among the spectators. The aeronaut, however, kept on his flight, and pointing hisiship to the left, continued to ascend until the long gwide rope was quite 20 feet out of the water. Inturning the balloon, the guide rope caught in the screw, and this, with the erratic working of the airship, created a situation of great danger. At the same time a squall burst from Tete de Chien, and Santos-Dumont tilted the head of his balloon upwards in order to disengage the guide rope. But.in sodoing the ballast shifted and the oil used to run the motor began to spread. Fearing an explosion, the inventor pulled the emergen'cy cord. This ripped the envelope: of the balloon, which at once began rapidly to descend. Santos-Dumont did not lose his head. He could easily be seen from the shore watching the various parts of the airship. At this time the balloon had slightly righted itself and the lower part, having become empty, the airship dropped- slantingly towards the pigeon shooting ground which borders the bay. In front. of these grounds there lies a reef of sharp rocks, and the excitement on shore became intense, as apprehensions arose that Santos-Dumont would drift. on these rocks and be dashed to pieces.

In the meanwhile the steam launches in the bay were making toward the spot where it was supposed the balloon would fall. The first to approach was the Princess Alice, belonging to the Prince of Monaco, and- those on board seized the balloon’s guide rope, which somehow had become disentangled. At the moment this was done, a sharp crackling sound, made by the motor. could be heard and the screw was seen again to revolve. The balloon, which was then almost in the sea, rose slowly for a few moments.

But the motor stopped again and the airship descended a second fime until Santos-Dumont was immersed up to his armpits in the water. This scene was witnessed with intense excitement by the onlookers ashore and afloat. The aeronaut, with the pluck which has characteried him throughout his dangerous experiments, could be seen standing up in his.car gesticulating and shouting directions to those on the launch which was towing him towards the Princess Alice. At 2:55 the end of the balloon burst and the prince of Monaco, who was on board the launch, then gave orders to rescue Santos-Dumont from his perilous position. The launchthen came alongside the half deflated balloon of the airship, which threatened at any moment to smother SantosDumont. The latter was half pulled and half clambered over the gunwales into the boat. : " The prince of Monaco took him by the hand and urged him to allow himself to be taken on board-the yacht to dry himself aind change his clothes. But the aeronaut energetically refused to do this until the remnants of the airship had been saved. With the sea water dripping from his clothes and looking like a water rat,. the inventor stood in the bows of the launch shouting directions for the salvage of his airship. It was impossible to save more than the silk envelope. The motor had to be left to its fate and it sank. The launch on which was the inventor then made for the shore, escorted by a flotilla of other launches and boats. DESERTER KILLED. Panay Scouts Under C'oinmand of Capt.
