The More Conservative + Said to Favor RETREAT TO dARBIN IS ) AGAIN Russian Ministers Argue That Noth ing Could be Lost and Sympathy Would be Gained if Japan Should Prove Unreasonable-M'inister of War Says Fair Terms Would be to Japan's Advantage by Giving Her a Good Neighbor-Linevitch Can Be Given an Army of 400,000 Men Without a New Moblization. St. Petersburg, By Cable.-While Emperor Nicholas, whose word is fin al, still declines to abandon the prose cution of the war, and the government maintains its ability to continue the conflict. it can be authoritatively stated that powerful influences, in cluding several of the Emperor's own ministers, are now strongly urging that the time has come to indicate to Japan Russia's desire for peace up on a reasonable basis. Should Japan then attempt to impose too onerous conditions, these influences argue that in view of the universal wish to see the bloody conflict ended, Russia's position will be strengthened abroad by the alienation of sympathy from Japan, and the situation improved at home when the nation is made to un derstand that the Emperor's pacific proposals have been met with im possible terms. The Minister of War says: "Russia has a hard task, fighting the war against such adversaries. 6,000 miles from home, and I contend that she can make a dignified peace, without glory, but not without honor. As the victor on land and sea, Japan can afford to remember, as Bismarck did at the conclusion of the Austro Prussian war, that two countries which must live through the long fu ture as neighbors may need each other's friendship. Japan may con sider the time propitious, on account of the situation in European Russia, to try and crush us. Suppose. for the sake of argument, she succeeded in finally forcing a humiliating peace, it would not be more than an armed truce. Russia is too big and power ful to retire permanently from the field. The clouds at home eventually will roll away. With the army and navy reorganized, in live, ten or fifteen years, there vill come inevitably our revenge. No permanent peace is pos sible now or later unless Japan is established. To the suggestion of the possib)ility of an alliance between Russia and Japan, the Minister said: "A reasonable peace must first be established. "Broadly speaking, Russia's renun ciation of her- entire Manchurian poli cy should satisfy Japan's claim. She could have her protectorate over Ko rea, such privileges on the Kowontong Peninsula and at Port Arthur as the powers would not oppose, and the Chi nese Eastern Railway be placed under international control, Russia maintain ing her rights to a railway line through northern Manchuria to Vladi vostock."

Tokio, By Cable.-Beyond the general retirement of the Russian along the railway northward, little is known here of the details of the past three days' events in Manchuria. Various reports of the number of additional Russian pris oners captured are in circulation. One estimate is 20,000. It is impossible to confirm the reports. There is much speculation over the extent of the Russian retirement. Har bin is regarded as a logical base, but it is suggested that they may attempt to hold that Kirin line. The country be tween Kiayaun and Sungari is inhospi table. Fcrmerly the conservative element in high councils of Japan favored setting a limit to the Manchurian advance. It opopsed advancing to Harbin. but the results of the victory at Mukden are removing opposite and the bulk of opposition and conservative judg ment now favors pressing advantages and carrying the war to the utmost lim its possible. Tokio Celebrates Victory. Tokio, By Cable.-Thirty thousand persons went to Mibiya Pass to attend exercises commemorative of the Jap anese victory at Mukden.

TI first to be completed will be the E dridge Fowler cottage and kitchei This is a large brick building, its ou side measures being 70 by 96 fee costing a little above $3,000. It wi be used for the dwelling for the youn girls in their monthly turns at cool irg; it will be presided over by th matron, and several children will b permanent residents in it. It contain also the store room, the dairy, th kitchen and the distributing roon As there will be 12 cottages, widel separated from each other there aros immediately the problem as to th best way of provisioning the childrer The former plan was the assemblin of all in one dining room. The inst tution has now outgrown the old hal It was, therefore, thought best t have a seperate kitchen, but to a range for dining rooms in each co tage, distributing the provision a each meal. The plan is working we so far and will be given several year. trial. The Eldrige Fowler cottag will be in use in a few weeks. The second building taken hold c was the Memorial Hall. This buildin was of granite. After careful examit ation, it was found that a large pat of the walls could be used. Much c it had to be taken down, but all ha been rebuilt on the old lines and i the course of six weeks it will b again in use, not as heretofore for th kitchen and dining room, but rather a a place to feed the mind, for the higl er classes of the school will be taugh in it. To Develop Cherokee Shoals.

RESCUERS BLOWN UP Frightful Loss of Life in a West Vir. z1-, ginia Coal Mine DEATH LIST NOW TWENTY-FOUR d Second Explosion Causes the Death of the Entire Party Which Was En ' deavoring to Recover the Blacken h ed Remains of the Victim5 of the d First-Naked Flame in Contact A- With Gas the Cause of the Origi nal Tragedy-Heavens Lighted For 'e Miles by the Flames From the Drift Mouths. t- Charleston, W. Va., Special.-As the r, result of horrible explosions in the 11 Rush Run and Red Ash mines, near rhurmond, Saturday night, 24 men now lie stark in death in the two mines. Ten e )f these were killed in the explosion e Saturday night; the other 14 were a s rescuing party who went into the mine e Sunday morning to recover the black ened remains of their fellow-workmen, a and were killed by a second explosion. e The first explosion seemed to shake the e foundations of the mountains, and the angry twin flash from the two neigh boring drift mouths lighted up the heavens for miles around. Soon, from the mining villages for several miles up and down the river, hundreds of peo ple rushed to the scene of the dreadful disaster. The first explosion was caused by a "naked" flame coming in contact with the gas. The flames leaped from the drift mouth and set fire to everything in reach that was not blown from harm's way by the force of the ex plosion. The great drum by which the loaded cars are run from the drift mouth down the incline to the tipple and the empties drawn up, was blown from its moorings and down the moun s tain side 600 feet, while the drum caught fire and was totally consumed. e The cars that stood at the mouth of e the mine were blown far down towards s the tipple, and much of the track of the incline was destroyed. The rails were twisted and the cross-ties whip ped from their beds in the ballest and sent scorched and charred many yards e away. The big fan that furnished air In the mine was so damaged that it was several hours before it could bf started again. t After considerable time, the great fan was repaired and the power turned e on, and it began drawing 100,000 cubic ,t feet of air through the charnel house o each minute. A rescue party was form ed and about 20 men entered the mine - in search of the bodies of those who had perished at the first explosion, the i men explored the mines for three hours, putting up brattices so that pure air should follow them where - ever they went. Finally some of them came out and reported that the others were too careless in going forward faster than the good air was being supplied and carrying at the same time . a "naked" light. At 3:45 another aw a ful explosion occurred, caused by the e gas coming in contact with the "naked" fame of a miner's lamp, and fourteen more souls were launched Into eter nity. Mine Inspector Edward Pinckney ar rived on the ground Sunday and took 1 charge of the resenie work. s The names of the band who lost i t.heir lives in the attempt to get pos i session of the bodies of those who per ished in the first explosion are: e Crockett Hutchinson.

Of these extremely strik:ing hts. one is a large draped turban of calf skin. mottled brown and white. It is lined with white satin on the under brim, and is trimmed with a cluster of thiee w,,ite ostrich feathers. Wraps a Ia Mode. The reddish-blue shades of taffeta are to be made up in wraps and coatees. As the fashion has run to plainer and quieter effects in dress. so it has taken a contrary course im wraps. They cannot be too dainty or elaborate to be a la mode. Why Bronze Slippers are Popular. Bronze slippers are gaining in popu larity in the best shops. and many bronze tones are seen. Well posted dealers say that women like them be cause even a large size bronze slipper looks comparatively small on a won an's foot-and this always appeals to them.-Shoe lIetailer. Sprlnz Models in Hats. Hats in a very pretty con>inatiol} of tatTetas and straw are having a ucess for the already advanced spring models destined for Nice and Monte Carlo. Violets and pansies are per haps the favorite flowers. but roses ap pear partout. and some of the new trails of bloom are extraordinarily iifc like. Lace Head Scarfs. A lace gown accessory confined to evening wear is a Tambour scarf long and wide enough to cover the head after the fashion of a mantilla and to fall almost to the foot of the gown. Double lace frills edge the entire bor dlr and serve as an exquisite frame for a pretty face. * The woman who goes with frequency to the opera and theatre. and who desires to avoid the risk of catching cold from being hat less. will find this scarf a gracefully picturesque addition to her evening Costume. Strange Weaves. Strange weaves of velvet and ve! veteen looking like fur are made up into entire costumes that are effective, if a trifle odd. One with the appear ance of a moleskin has a flaring skirt itting close around the hips and trimmed with rows of pleated taffeta ribbon. The short. tight-fitting coat has such wide sleeves that they look like shoulder capes; they also are trimmed with the pleatings of the taf feta, and tihe only relief to the sombre color Is in the very striking w-iist -oat of orange cloth embroidered in black and silver. F0r the Wee Folk. The latest fashion ini millinery for wee girls is .the large white felt or beaver hat trimmed with big clusters of velvet and silk roses to matc-h the color of tile little cloth or silk pelisse or coat. Tils particular fashion pos sesses a (definite advantage, the roses being infinitely easier to mlatch than the headgear itself, while a single hat can be made to (do duty for two or three dlifYerent toilets. Brown is. he sides. munch worn by time nursery folk. and in the case of little boys the brw hats are frequently trimimed with wide tartan ribbon. For the Poster Girl. Tile girl with the "poster craze" will appreciate the gift of one or fwo l'os ters for her denl on her b)irthlda, andl a neat little hanger attached to each oe will be greatly appreciated. Cut a small circle about onie inchl itn dianm eter from a whlite card-one end of an ol-style visiting card will do. In the centre of this ct a circular hIole three eighths of an inch in diameter. and through this pass a piece of baby rib bon two inches long. Paste tIle two ends of the ribbon together on the back of the p'oster. near the top, but -do not let the ring show above. Tihe circular hole will easily slip over a nail and the poster will hang flat against the wall. Tinting Dress Goods. A secret worth knowing is how to tInt laces. chiffons. silk or crocheted buttons, feathers, slippers, gloves. etc., to a gown shade. The process is vouched for by the National Dress makers' Association, from whose jour nal It is taken. Tile materials required are oil paints in ttubes and gasoline. The gasoline is placed In a p)orcelain bowl and the paint is dissolved in it. The work has to be done quickly. and of course, in a fireless room. Mix the paint to tire required shade ill a saucer. coparing it with tile goods till the right color. When thle exact tone is reached, mix with tile gasolinle alld dip the lace or whatever is to be dyed quickly before the paint falls to the bottom. Do not let the goods touchl the~ bottom, as there mlight be a spot of paint there. A hairpin comles in handily to hold the edge of the goods. S~ake out quickly andl pin up to dry. It is well to make a few experiments before risking costly material. bult tile process is really not at all formidable. Separate ETening Waists Elaborate. The separate waist is claiming muche attention, and it is nlot, by the way. attention which goes at all amiss. Linl gee is the term by which many of these handsome models are known, and never before have such stuinrg mod els been brought froml abroad for women to wear. They are almost too frail to don., and one might think by the sheerness and fineness of the ma terials used thlat they were made to )e looked at simply. The contenlts of grandmothers trunk or wardrobe are scanled for just this sort of thing, and the modern maid has indeed been for tunate in having a dear grandmother whose clothes she can wear, but many of the oldtime fabrics have not been reproduced. and some of the new ones are not quite so pretty. The evening waist of fine lawn is go Ing to be quite a popular mlodel for the spring season wheni one wishes to dis card the evening gown and many yards of fine lace of all kinds are used as the necation. Shirrs are used exteDsively as a trimming. qnd one model had the entire yoke formed of these shirrs very far apart.-Newark Advertise. t Important Little Things. When my boy Frank had been mar ried for a few weeks I dropped into his apartment one evening as he and his wife were at dinner. I discovered him sitting opposite her with a newspaper held up before his face, absorbed in. reading. If he had given me a blow between the eyes he could not have S hurt me more. I said nothing to him 9 at the time. The next day I bad a i talk with my boy. He seemed to think b that I was making a good deal out of d a small matter. and he staggered me 0 by saying that he often read the paper a while he sat at the table with Jean- t nette. "Do you read aloud to her?" I d asked. u. he shook his head. 'She v doesn't care much about the news," he d replied. It took me a long 'ime to y make him see that his reading the v newspaper at the table was a purely * selfish act, not serious In itself per laps. but certainly unfair to his table companion. The word unfair opened his eyes. for I have rubbed it into b him all his life that unfairness of any r kind is not only one of the most eon- t1 temptible of all qualities, but one of d the greatest causes of unhappiness be- h tween people.

The essential thing is not so mth that you should be born beautiful as tht you should know how to achieve beauty. Every woman whtse features are not disfigured, whose skin is clear and whose blood is not congenitally thin,. en achieve for herself a fair amount of good looks. Good grooming is the t: method, and good grooming just means making the most of one's personal ap- g, pearance. It means keeping the hair t: glossy and fluffy, the skin free fr-om a blemish or roughness, the hands welt ti manicured and the teeth in perfect a condition. It is as important to culti 'rate one's self as it is to cultivate one's garden or one's business. And really nothing contributes to or takes from a woman's charm of ap pearance as the condition and dressing? t of her hair. Untidy hair, neglected hair. inbecomingly arranged hair will destroy the beauty of features or color. Always on taking down hpir at night it should be brushed out straight, the I scalp brushed for three or four min utes and the hair loosely braided to keep it from snarling. This brushing not only stimulates the circulation. bute gathers dust out of the hair and so kees the se alp clean, also by renmor ing all dust it leaves the hair free to P reveal its natural lustre.. It is impos- f sie to have healthy, and so beautifut fl hair if the scalp is clogged by dust 0 o: dandruff. Brushing and washing e will remove both.n To thoroughly clean the hair it must f be washed in soft water. rain water. if 0 possile: if not. then city water with p a pinch of pure borax to soften it. An P excellent shampoo for hair that re- c quires thorough cleaning is compound- o e of: One ounce of powdered Castile soap: one ounce of borax; two table- o s)oofuls of alcohol; beaten yolk of an y eg: one pint of warm water.

If washing in soft water and thorough drying will not destroy , the greasy look of hair, then try thet following lotion: One drachm of bisulphite of quinine., one-half ounce of salt; three-fourths of an ounce of borax: one pint of water.
