Some of the reasons why this supremacy is so pronounced are enumerated below: I. Lipman-Wolfe's has the only expert trained corsetier in Portland. A corset is not merely tried on in our fitting rooms, but altered by an expert. II. More makes and styles are shown here than anywhere else in Portland. III. Our specialties C. B. a la SPIRITE corsets, NEMO corsets and W. B. corsets are conceded to be unexcelled by any corsets sold at the same prices in America IV. Corset fitting here means the careful study of the individual figure advising just the make and style best adapted to each person providing the corset that best suits each person V. Alterations which are occasionally necessary to insure utmost satisfaction are made here in our own workroom by the only expert corsetier in Portland. VI. Whatever make of corset may be desired, if it has merit and is reliable, will be found in our display. VII. Our superb La Vida corsets, made of Greenland whalebone in this country from Paris models saving 60 per cent duty.

The first and second squadrons th-n slowed down, the third and fourth squadrons veering1 to port, taking- up a position abreast of squad rons OTie and two, 16"0 yards apart. Ilear-Admiral Sperry was in command of the second squadron, with Captain Harhor of the Maine acting- as Admiral at th head of the fourth squadron, the Maine changing- places with the Minnesota, Another dispatch received later re ported the fleet proceeding in same formation at a speed of nine knots, the weather being that of tropical Cali fornia, but more invigorating than that of Magdalcna Ray. The coal consump tion is repotted as less per knot than It was when the fleet left the Atlantic side. California will not extend a more fervent welcome to the fleet than the fleet will extend to California. The shirs 'in men are in good shape for inspection, and the parade at Pan Di eco will bring into line a body of 16.000 as perfectly trained and efficient men -as ever landed from an American fleet in any part of the world- The crew has been engaeed on the way in scrubbing hammocks, while the pay mas ters and their assistants have been preparing' for payday, which will take place tomorrow, when the crews will re ceive the money due them in gold coin.

Interview Kminently Satisfactory to Both Side No Further .Friction in Manchurian City Frobable. WASHINGTON. April 1 3. Secretary Root had a long; conference at the State Department today with the Rus sian Ambassador. Baron Rosen, the feature of which was the Manchurian situation, and in consequence, when the Ambassador left this afternoon for New York on his way to Russia, he bore with him the last words of the American State Department on that Important subject. The interview was eminently satisfactory on both sides. From the Russian standpoint it was made plain to Secretary Root that the 350 local Russian officials In Harbin were deserving of support In their efforts to rehabilitate that important trade center and resume the execution of the ambitious plans that had been formed by the Russian government for the development of the city before the war with Japan. Therefore, the objection of Arqerican Consul Fisher to full recognition of the Russian authority at Harbin was found to be based rather upon the form In which the local Russian offi cials proposed to attain their objects and not to the objects themselves. It may be stated that there will be no further friction between the Ameri can Consul and the Russian govern ment at Harbin over this incident. Cultivates Chinese Friendship. SHANGHAI. April 13.

It is understood that the British Minister's conferences with Viceroys had to do with the Tatsu Mara incident, and was intended to Indi cate In a mild way the friendship be tween China and Great Britain.
