MINISTERS ON
WAY TO TIEN TSIN
But the Powers Fear it May He Part
of a Plan to Conceal Date of
Pekin Massacre.
Washington, July 27. Minister Wu
was quito elated this morning when ho
was informed by a representative of the
Associated Preen, that it was reported
tlio surviving members of the diplomatic
corps were being conducted to Tien
Tem by troops of Jung Lu, commander-
in-chief of the Chinese forces. He said
he would not be surprised to hear nt any
time of their arrival at Tien Tein. Minis
ter Wu said lie tiau received no news
from China in the past twenty-four
hours. He did not expect to visit the
state department today unless he heard
from his country.
The alleged departure of the ministers
from Pekin has led to a reasaertion of
the belief that the story is part of a deep
laid plan by China to conceal the date
of the massacre at Pekin, the suggestion
being that Chinese officials will claim
that the ministers left Pekin under
strong escort, but were ambushed and
massacred bv Boxers en route to Tien
Tsin. However, nlthough it is still be
lieved that a massacre has occurred of
the colony at Pekin, the disposition now
is to think the ministers were somehow
rescued from a tragic fate.
Washington, July 27. The United
States government has absolutely re
fused the Chinese proposition to suspend
military operations against Pekin in re
turn tor the delivery at Tien Tsin of the
foreign ministers.
Hlki.in, July 27. A dispatch received
here today, dated Tien Tsin, July 24,
sayE: A messenger who left Pekin Sun
day July 15, brought today to the
customs oflice here news that Prince
Ching's soldiers had been fighting Prince
Tung's troops and had been defeated
Tlio foreigners were defending them
selves in the Northern Cathedral near
the Forbidden city.
Thu Ore ton Docked.
Washington, July 27. The navy de
naitment todav received tho following
cablegram from Captain Wilde, com
mender of the Oregon :
"Kure, July 20. Secretary Navy,
Washington Shin docked1 Structural
strength intact. Wain:."
While thedlspatcli omits tho technical
details of the the injury received by the
Oregou in running on a rock in the Gulf
of Pe Chi Li. Captain Wilde is known
to tiave supplied some of these details.
They iudicatethat,although thestructur
al strength of the great-ship is still intact
her injuries were of an ugly character.
None of the longitudinal frames were
injured, but the vessel's battom was
badly torn, and some of her pumping
connections broken. The main injury
sustained was to compartment A, as it is
technically known. Crptain Wilde, in
his cable message of several days ago,
estimated that it would require u few
weeks to make temporary repairs, and at
least four months to make complete re
pairs. The navy department authorized
Captain Wilde to patch her up with
temporary repairs in order that she
might return to thu Chinese coast for
service. Theseordeis will stand, unless.
after full consideration of the character
of tho Oregon's injuries by the bureau
chiefs at Washington, it Is desirous to
proceed immediately with the necessary
permanent repairs.

it would be interesting to remember
to follow it in its career to see how
far it will get away from the original
idea and still keep to the nnine, says
the New York Times.
Brilliant crimson kid gloves in the
shops show the popular taste for that
color. Iteally, people who are sup
posed to have good taste in gloves do
buy that shade to match suits.
It is true that hardly u bird or
a feather is to be seen in the spring
millinery. There is tho thin material
that hi been seen all winter in feath
or etieets in hats, straw ornaments
simul.it ing them and whole birds arc
made of diiTerent shades of paillettes.

less in evidence in some form or orna

sides of hats, and hns a .self-confident
air. iik if he were coming into his
proper estate. In sonic instances he
is combined with feathers, and in one
where ins unpleasant head is sur
rounded with dove feathers there is
too much Miggestiveness to make the
ornament an agreeable one.
Flower gardens are still to be found
on handkerchiefs, and often they are
beautiful, with charming though bril
liant color effects. One handkerchief
hns one corner, almost an entire
fourth of the handkerchief, filled with
n cluster of brilliantly colored. flow
ers artistically arranged, a real little
scene, while in each of the other cor
ners is a butterfly. That handker
chief costs Some pretty little
handkerchiefs have baskets of differ
ent colored flowers in the corners,
Tlrbragas or Bulgarian strips, the
hand embroidery of the Armenians on
hand-woven linen, can be bought at a
comparatively low figure. Much of
the work comes in stripes which i.
beautiful for insertion in wash gowns,
i'here are only two small pieces made
alike, and one is always sure of get
ting something that cannot be dupli
cated, and as a trimming the stripes
are stylish and serviceable. They weai
forever. The iwo pieces of work niakt
handsome bags, small pillows, or are
pretty for handkerchief cases and dif
ferent things of 'that kind. One piece
ol the cam as will have stripes enough
to use for insertion in one waist, and
a good piece can be found for $1,50,
and sometimes for less.
Little girls of live, six and seven are
wearing little short puffed sleeves to
their wash gowns.. Some mothers
make little gimps with sleeves to wear
with little low-necked gowns, and in
the hottest weather remove them,
leaving the neck and arms bare. Some
of the sleeves are in odd little shapes,
fitting in at the aniihole and then
.slanting out like a straight little (low
ing sleeve to the elbow, stopping just
above it. One little gown with n
puffed sleeve has what has the appear
ance of a cuff longer at the back than
I he front set into it.
The woman who wears her seal or
intaglio rings on tie same hand with
her rings in which are precious
