Replies.
r
Washington* June 7.—On the open*
Ing of the Senate to-day the consider
ation of the tariff bill was resumed.
The first paragraph of the wood sched
ule, relating to hewn timber, eta, was
agreed to at 1M cents per cubic foot
When the paragraph relating to
sawed boards, planks, deals, eta, was
reached, Mr. Jones of Arkansas
spoke of an additional tax on lum
ber, referring to the heavy burden it
imposed on the people of the West
He said the rates of the bill were the
result of a systematic effort by the
lumbermen, and in this connec
tion read a letter from the National
Lumber convention, urging that peti
tions to Senators and members be pre
pared, bearing the names of working
men. This, Mr. Jones declared, was
the means by which the high rates
were being urged.
Mr. Vest said there was not a single
item in the bill so utterly indefensible
as that increasing the rate on white
pine, taking it from the free list and
placing it at «2 per 1,000 feet, and mak
ing the duty absolutely prohibitory on
this wood.
Mr. Bacon, Democrat, of Georgia,
made a vigorous response to the at
tack by Mr. Vest on the lumber sched
ule, especially the white pine rates.
Mr. Bacon said the average rate of the
sehednle was only 20 per cent, , and
that he would support it

Amerl«a*s Monetary Commissioners, Not
Speaking French, Are Handicapped.
Paris, June 7.—-In spite of the cor
diality which the United States
monetary commission has been re
ceiving on all sides in France, it is
not believed that anything practical
is to be accomplished here. Much
had been made of the utterance of M
Melin, the French premier, at last
week’s banquet, but he carefully
pointed out that he spoke in his name
and not in behalf of the government of
France. It is also known that he has
declared France would not take the
initiative until certain that Great Brit
ain would take part in the movement.
Unfortunatoly for their usefulness
"i France, at least two out of the
American commissioners do not speak
x word of French. The awkwardness
of this was shown at the banquet,
when the American visitors could not
respond to the toasts.

BULLET PROOF CLOTH.
The Invention of a Chicago Print toe*
eoMfnllg Raalita 44-Callbar Ballets.
Chicago, June 7.—With the dead
body of a woman for a target, the bul
let proof cloth invented by Cast mi r
Zeglen, a cloistered brother of the or
der of Resurrectionists, was tested
last evening at the Chicago college of
dental surgery in the presence of a
number of professors, army officers
and citizens interested in the science
of bodily armor. The test was con
ducted under the supervision of Lieu
tenant Stanislaus de Korwin Sarnecki
of the Austrian, army.
A 44-caliber Colt’s revolver was first
put into practice, after the upper por
tion of the body had been incased in
the alleged Impenetrable cloth. Thirty
shots failed to pierce the cloth, fired
at a distance of from three to fifteen
paces
A 38-caliber revolver was then
brought into use, and the representa
tive of the inventor demonstrated that
it was Impossible to penetrate the
texture with such a missile.
While the cloth or outer portion of
the armor had been disfigured only
slightly an examination later by Dr.
Leon C. Borland revealed the fact that
two of the ribs on the right side of the
body had been shattered by the force
of the bullet coming in contact with
the cloth. Aside from the bruises in
those parts of the body in which the
bullet came in direct contact, there
was no indication that tb6 bullet had
been directed against it

Major Smith Says the Insurgent Army
la In Good Condition.
Washington, June 7.—Captain W.
r>. Smith of the Cuban army spent con
siderable time again yesterday with
the Senate committee on foreign rela
tions. In a brief interview he said:
‘‘The Cuban army is now in better
condition to resist the Spaniards and
to maintain the fight for independence
than it has been since the beginning
of the war. General Gomez has
a well disciplined army of about
60,000 men who are determined to
hold ont until their efforts shall be
crowned with victory. Our soldiers
are rapidly procuring arms, and every
day serves to nut them on a better
footing in this respect. Our troops
enjoy a vast advantage over the Span
iards, in that they are not injuriously
affected by the climate. I may say.
that I have not seen a case of yel
low fever or smallpox among the
Cuban soldiers since I have been
on the island, and that I have
not been sick a day myself. Further
more, we have no difficulty in feeding
our troops. In the portion of the
country in which the Cuban troops are
in control, the provisions are protect
ed, and we draw our supplies from
this source. Our commissary is, there
fore, regularly renewed -and our sup
plies are received in quantities quite
sufficient to meet a\J our wan tv” .
In reply to a question, Captain Smith
said: “All talk about autonomy and of
Spanish reforms for Cuba is so much
breath wasted. There is not a man in
the Cuban army who will agree to ac
cept anything short of absolute hide,
peadence."

Turkish Oonmasnt by the State
Department—What the Sal*
tan Feared.
Objeetloas Are Withdrawn.
Washington, June 3.—The sultan of
Turkey is said to have withdrawn his
objection to the appointment of James
B. Angell as minister of the United
States at Constantinople. Official
word to this effect was received by
cable by Secretary Sherman from Min
ister Terrell.
Since the receipt of the first news
that the sultan did not look favorably
upon Dr. Angcll’s selection by the
state department, he has been in com
munication with Mustapha Bey, the
Turkish minister at Washington, and
with Minister Terrell. As President
McKinley appointed Dr. Angell only
after much deliberation and on ac
count of his signal fitness for the post
at Constantinople, he was particularly
desirous that the cancellation of the
nomination should not be made neces*
sary.
nue every country Has the un
questioned right to refuse to receive a
minister accredited by another coun-,
try, and while it is unusual for the
country appointing the minister to
protest against any objection which is
raised. Dr. Angeil’s case is an excep
tional one. It is one in which objec
tion was offered not upon facts, but
upon erroneous information, and Sec
retary Sherman felt warranted, under
the circumstances, in opening a cor
respondence with the Turkish govern
ment
As stated, he communicated with
Mustapha Bey and Minister Terrell.
The correspondence between Secre
tary Sherman and Mustapha Bey and
Minister Terrill has developed the
fact that the sultan objected to Dr.
Angell’s coming to Constantinople,'
chiefly on the ground that he was u
member of the Congregational church.
Minister Terrell has informed Secre-.
tary Sherman that the sultan had
been advised that this denomination
was Jesuitical in character and that
Dr. Angell would be over-zealous in
spreading the doctrine of his church
among Mahommedans.
Secretary Sherman did not delay in
having the truth presented to the
Turkish government The fact that
Dr. Angell was a member of the Con
gregational church was not important.
It was important, however, that the
sultan should learn tfiat the church
was not a secret order; one whose ob
jects differed essentially from those oi
other Christian denominations in this
country.
Minister Terrell was instructed by
Secretary Sherman to put the fact*'
before the sultan and to assure him in
a polite way that the United States
would not accredit Turkey with a dip
lomatic representative who would be
objectionable for any such reasons.
Mr. Terrell carefully carried out his
instructions and conveyed the intelli
gence that the Congregational church
was merely one of many worthy relig
ious denominations of this country,
and that while Dr. Angell had been
prominent in educational matters fot
a number of years, there was no good
reason why he should not be accepted
as minister to Turkey.
From this and other information im
parted by Mr. Terrell it became ap
parent to the sultan that he had been
misinformed. He accordingly with
drew his objections and cabled the fact
to Secretary Sherman. Dr. Angell had
arranged to start for Constantinople
last Saturday, but the correspondence
with the Turkish government made a
change in his plans necessary. There
is no further reason for delay and the
doctor will probably sail next Satur
day.

This immense quantity of high grade, ar
tistic clothing, made from the best of
American and imported woolens, will be*
literally sacrificed at one-half of its real,
value.
. his sale is the opportunity of a lifetime,.,
and we urgently advise you to take advan
tage of what is really and truly the great
est loss ever incurred by any number of’
firms ever engaged in the clothing business.
Nothing but the immediate and pressing;
need of spot cash to avoid a total ruin*
would have induced these manufacturers
to take this step.
To give you a better idea of the way this
clothing.will be sacrificed, we will assure
you that you can take your choice of it,
most of it for one-half of what it sold for in.
New York, and in a great many cases it.
will cost you only one-third of the New
York price.
We do not know how to sufficiently im
press you with the importance of this pale
of clothing. All we can say is that it will
pay you over and over again to come to
Omaha to Boston Store and invest all yon.
can in clothing. Clothing is something
that you must need at some time or other,
and when you can buy it at from one-half
to one-third of the regular price, and new,,
stylish goods at that, it is your duty to*
yourselves to do so.
In addition to this clothing sale, we are
now having two great sales which it is also
to your interest to attend, one is a very
large stock of Dry Goods and the other is a.
well known shoe stock, i>oth of which we
are selling at very much reduced prices.
Remember the half rate excursion to>
Omaha June 8,0,10 and 11, so that you.
can save money in railroad fare as well as -
in buying goods. Remember that this sale
takes place only at Boston store, northwest
corner of Sixteenth and Douglas streets,.
Omaha.
If it is so that you cannot come your
self, write to us for our catalogue and sam
ples.
Once more let us remind you the sale is
at Boston Store, and nowhere else.

GOOD NEWS FOR FARMERS.
Arctic overshoes will be cheaper next,
winter. Our readers have all hearft
somethin; about the Rubber Trust,
and have known that since the forma
tion of the United States Rubber Co.,
rubber boots and shoes have been,
much higher than they used to be.
Several new companies, however, have- ■
commenced the manufacture of rubber
goods within the past year or two, and'
the nsnal result of competition baa
followed. Prices are down, and the
public will get the benefit. The. 1
first new concern to enter the field,
was the Providence Rubber Company,,
of Providence, R. I. The head of the
concern was the Hon. A. O. Bourn,
who had been in Europe as Consul
General to Rome. The first western,
house to put these goods on the mar
ket was Bentley & Olmsted, of Des»
Moines, who last year had the exclus
ive agency for the northwest, for
the above Rubber Company. These
goods were sold at considerably lower
prices than the Trust goods, and
Bentley & Olmsted were warned by
the Trust that if they continued to
ll an die outside brands they would dis
criminate against them. 1 They, how
ever, were not to be intimidated, and.
have this year secured the exclusive
agency for Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska^
the Dakotas, and all west of these
states, of another new concern, Geo.
Watlcinson & Co. There has been,
great reason for complaint because
rnbber goods have not worn well. Mr.
Watkinson, who is one of the oldest,
manufacturers of rubber goods, when
starting his new factory at Philadel
phia, realized that a big business
could be built up on a better grade of'
goods. He is therfore making his
goods of pure Para rubber instead of ‘
using part African, which is much,
cheaper, and has also added several
new improvements, such as heavier
soles and heels, and tips on' heavy -
goods, with the intention of making
the best wearing goods ever produced.
Another new line of robber goods,
m ide outside of the Trust, is made by
the Ilood Rubber Company, of Boston,,
who make a second quality lino underr
the brand of the Old Colony. It re
mains to be seen whether the . trust,
will be able to crush out these new
con corns _
