DISTINCTION OF ORIENTAL RUGS
Fringe Is One of the Marks aad the
Back of the Rast is An
other. To tell an oriental rug from a machine
rug look at the back and at the fringe,
says a writer in Country Life In America.
The pattern of oriental rugs shows dls
tlnctly through on the back, for the same
knots whose cut ends stand up to form the
pile on the face of the rug show on the
back as tlnk loops around the warp threads,
almost concealing both warp and weft.
Of course oriental rugs can be and have
been woven with double pile,' on back as
well as on faoe, like the -domestio Smyrnas,
but these are as rare as May flowers In
November. The back of most oriental rugs
is flat and hard, and the pattern that on
the face Is softened by the myriad ways
in which the pile reflects the light is stiff
as that of a domestic Brussels rug on the
back.
By way of comparison, turn over a Win
ton or a Brussels rug. The back is barren
The wool Is too precious to be wasted there.
The construction Is such that the wooTen
pile loops gingerly Into the upper part of
the web only, leaving cheaper yarns to
meet the floor. Exceptions to this rule
among domestics are rag carpets snd
Smyrnas, whose warp la thing and tenuous
and does not count in the design.
Just as there are domeatlo rugs without
pile so there are orientals. Tha two types
are Kellms snd Cashmeres (also called
Soumaks). Kellms are tapestries in weave,
like the more intricate gobelin and Aubus-
son tapestries or the etll coarser Navajo
blanketa and Mexican serapes. Face and
back are exactly alike, both flat and with
out pile except for the loose threads
(sometimes clipped smooth) that on the
back show where the weft has wandered
from block to block of the same color.
Where colors meet parallel - with the
warp, Mellms, like most other tapestries,
show open silts left by the tapestry weave
and often sewed up afterward. Kellms are
much thlnnner than other rugs and are
often used as portieres. Where they are
to be used on the floor they should be
lined. They are comparatively Inexpensive.
A heavier rug without pile Is the cash
mere. The weave la curious. It consists
in the wrapping or twisting in such a way
as to bind them Indlsaolubly together. The
loose threads that mark the passage of
the weft from block to block of color can
be dearly seen on the back of the rug.
Cashmeres are exceedingly durable, but not
as Interesting In texture as pile rugs. The
oolors are apt to be sharp, there being no
pile to dull them.
Oriental rugs as a rule wear their own
hair or fringe In other words, are self
fringed with a fringe made of the extended
warp. In all oriental rugs that have a
woolen warp the fringe Is an Important
and exceedingly Interesting feature. The
fringe of the cashmere Is never heavy.
Especially Interesting Is the fringe of
Beloches and Bokharas. It Is usually au
companled by a wide band of flat web
(commonly called selvage). . This band is
often ornamented with bright-colored, tiny
figures In broche or tapestry weave or
embroidery. Such a band haa decided use
fulness. It guards the pile at the llnot
of greatest tendrrnesa. for tha web that
close naturally at the sides Is open at the
ends when special means are not taken
to close It.
In rugs with a woolen warp the ends are
more beautiful and the whole structure is
mere flexible and more sympathetic to the
touch. But the Kreater elasticity of
woollen warps produces rug that are
seldom straight, even when first woven.
This Is pardonable, almost a desirable
fault In small rugs, but It ruins large ones.
This Is undoubtedly the reason whv ih.
warpe of large tubs are almost without
exception of the atlffer material.
Moat domestic ruga have either no fringes
or aewed-on ones. Hair unui ..ir.
fringed, but the fringes are decidedly Un-
iiernstuig. eo me fringes are one of the
most important helps In quickly diatin

Prime Minister Say. He May Bemain
Away from. Coronation.
SEBIOUS FIGHT IS EXPECTED
Opposltloa Has It la Its Power to
Block Meaaare Almost Iadf
laltelr Preaeaeo la Canada
Needed.
OTTAWA, Ont., April 29. The determina
tion of the Canadian government to ratify
reciprocity was emphasised In parliament
today by the prim minister, Sir Wilfrid
Laurler, who declared that he would not
BO to England and represent Canada at
the Imperial conference or to the coronoa
tlon of Kins George In June, but would
remain here to press the agreement. If
the opposition persisted In obstructing Its J
ratification.
Tha matter was brought before parlia
ment by Opposition leader Borden, who
asked Sir Wilfrid what his Intentions were
In regard to the approaching event in
London.
'I deem It my duty to attend," replied
Sir Wilfrid, "and engaged my passage sis
weeks ago, but I have come to the con
clusion that should my presence be re
quired In Canada, and there Is every in
dication that It may be. It may be my
duty to forego the privilege of attending
the conference. My first duty Is to Can
ada.
"It would be unfortunate that any of
the prime ministers of the self-governing
British dominions should be absent from
so important an event as ttie Imperial con
ference. If it Is not possible for me to
go, the fault will not be mine. The one
thing which prevents Is the position of the
trade agreement with tha United States.
"Mr. Borden haa said he and his fol
lowers offer uncompromising opposition to
the ratification of the agreement. I may
tell lil in that on this side we offer uncom
promising support for the agreement He
thinks it would be a bad to Canada and
a possible danger to ' the empire. We
think It would be a boon to Canada and
to the empire.
Opposition Caa .Block Sleasare.
'It la well known that under the rules
of the Canadian house It Is possible for
the opposition to block a measure almost
Indefinitely. It has coma to us that the
opposition has such intention. The lobbies
have been full of such rumors. I have in
my hand a report of a speech delivered at
the Associated Press banquet in New York
by William Northrop, M. P., one of the
moat Important members of the Canadian
opposition, in which he stated practically
that opposition at Ottawa will not allow
this agreement to be carried Into effect.
I do not know what authority he has to
speak, but I am Informed he voiced the
decision of the conservative caucus held
only a few days ago. If such Is the temper
of the opposition I think it will be neces
sary for me to revise my determination to
go to England."
"I think,'' said Mr. Borden, "that the
prime minister might have regard not only
to trade relations with the I'nltsd States,
but the trade relations with the great em
pire to which we belong. The question
must present Itself to the prime minister,
whether our trade and ether relations with
the United States ara more important than
our trade and other relations with tha em
pire of which we form a part. Under the
circumstances I trust the prim minister
will reconsider the Intimation he haa given
and that at the conference and the corona
tion Canada will be represented as It
should be. by the prime minister."
Mr. Burden suggested that parllamnt
could rise for two months to allow the
prime minister to go to London.

jerally accepted her be will not go to

WASHINGTON, April 29-Represntatlve
Collup of Indiana, a democrat, in a speech
today In the house vigorously assailed
Postmaster General Hitchcock and the

activity" In politics.
"The Postofflce department la the great
est political machine constructed In this

"and It is openly administered as a politi
cal organization."
Too much time devoted by the head of
the Postofflce department to political af
fairs and too little to business affairs were
declared for Mr. Cullop to be responsible
for the annual deficit In the operation of the
department. He aatd the people should
know whether any of the 72.000 post
masters or employee, had been discharged
or reduced In rank for failure to perform
political dutlea or contribute funds.

PEACE BRINGS NO SAFETY
Banditti Continue Outrages in Many
, Quarters of Mexico.
MADER0 OUTLINES HIS TERMS
Baala on 'Which Insarreto leader U
Willing to Settle with Dlas and
Call Off His Army Mado
Clear.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
EL PASO. Tex., April 29. (Special Cor
respondence.) Despite the efforts for
peace which Francisco I. Madero and the
government at Mexico City are making,
the rebels In the interior continue to fight
and loot.
A dispatch from Torreon, Mexico, la as
follows: "Rebel leaders served notice on
Pedrlcena that they would enter that camp
today. As a preliminary about 800 took
the town for awhile last night, demolish
ing the railroad station and robbing all
the stores In town. No killing waa done."
Yesterday the rebels retained poxsesslon
of two freight trains at Pasaje and sent
word that they were going to capture the
passenger trains also. Wtrea are down be
yond Yesbanls.
Last Bunday five armed men, presumably
revoltoBos, entered the one store at
Asarco, owned by an Arab, and relieved
the owner of $300 In cash and merchandise
and made their escape.
Many small bands of bandits, believed
not to be identified with the Insurrectos,
have been operating In this vicinity. Last
Monday a party visited the property ot
the Jlmulco Mining company at Otto, held
up the manager for M cash and ransacked
the place.
Further details ot the murder of Manuel
Vllladota, the chief of tha rurales at
Asarco, show that he was a victim of his
own men.
What Madera Wants.
Francisco Madero, according to an In
terview today, declares he has not sought
nor will he accept the vice presidency ot
Mexico as one of the conditions ot peace.
Peace negotiations are continuing the same
as before and both sides express entire
satisfaction.
Dlas will be ioft In offlca, the insurrectos
will not surrender their arms and cabinet
and state offices must be divided to Insure
the younger men of the country a fair
share in the government, but protection
from reprisal for having taken up arms.
In his pi o visional palace of mud, that
after the heavy rain looked like a lump of
brown sugar, the Insurrecto made this out
line of the peace program very clear:
"We will accept such terms aa will guar
antee to ua the triumph of the principles
demanded by the revolution In the same
or shorter time than It would require to
establish them If we continued the war."
One of the things upon which many pre
dict the peace plan will fall Is the demand
of Madero that the insurrectos keep their
arms. It la believed that Dial Is too crafty
to allow thla.
Armistice Strictly Observed.
Bo strictly are the federals In Juarez
observing the terms of the armistice that
a handcar will not be permitted to be sent
out on either of the railroads. One of the
terms of the agreement was that no repair
work be dons on the tallroada In the
northern zone, and, therefore, General
Navarro refused to permit a handcar to
leave the city.
It is estimated that since the talk of
peace, after the arrival of the Insurrecto
horde outside the city, that at least 400
of the army of 2.3U0 have deserted. Yes
terday a heavy rain fell. With no protec
tion all of the blankets and sarapea were
soaked and the men last night had to
aleep on the hills without covering bt any
kind.
Since the zec negotiation the in

groceries are allowed to cross the bordor.
General Madero has even purchased a
