It Is jomcwhat sad , perhaps , but neverthe
less only too evident thnt the society world
Is rapidly being decimated. It looks nfmost
ns If the records for the summer months
are to dwindle down Into almost micro
scopic slzo and become chiefly a chronicle
of the excunts of the various members of
Omaha's 400. Still here and there n big
event looms In the distance. Though few
and far between are the social affairs of Im
portance which win appear from tlmo to
tlmo on the soclnl calendar , they will pre
vent these who arc not fortunate enough to
bo "out of town" from being overcome by
feelings of apathy , ennui , or , In other words ,
general boredom ,
A great event Is on the tapis In the mat
rimonial world , namely the Roblnson-
ningwalt wedding , which Is to occur on
Wednesday next. The mnld of honor on
thnt occasion will bo Miss Grctchcn Crounse.
The bridesmaids will bo Miss Charlotte
O'Brien of Columbus , 0. , nnd Miss Louise
Doherty. Mr. Llewellyn J. AV. Jones will act
no best man nnd Messrs. Milton Darling ,
Karl Gannett , Edward George and Stockton
Hcth will bo ushers.

their only purchasing opportunlly on Satur
day night.
G. iM. Sweetland , manager of the Nebraska
Clothing company , has" very decided views
on the question. "Under no conditions will
wo close our store , " ho said , "as wo do the
bulk of our Saturday business nfter 0 o'clock.
Look at these men carrying dinner pnlls on
ttielr nrms. They Jinvo hurried down here
from their work. It Is the only chance they
have during Iho cnllro week lo secure what
they need. Do you mean to tell mo that
these men would bo benefited by sucti a
move ? When Ihlngs uro so nvrnngcd that
this trade will tlnd time nt another hour In
the day to come hero we will be prepared to
close our doora. "
Mr. E. Braudclu , ono of the proprietors of
the Boston Store , Is nwnltlng the return of
his brolher to Iho clly befoio giving a final
answer.
Members of the Central I abor union car
ried out their plan last night of distributing
several thousand cards bearing requests to
shoppers not to patronize stores which per
sisted In keeping open nftor C o'clock. The
curds were given out on the principal strccls ,
especially Ihoso leading to the largo stores.
Members of the union say thai during Ihe
evening the manager of ono of Ilio largest
stores keeping open promised to close at 6
o'clock this week.

WASHINGTON , July 1. A icclprocltj
treaty with Jamnlca was concluded nt the
State department today nt a conference be
tween Commissioner Knsson , In bchnff of the
United States , and Mr. Tower , the Ihltlsh
cbargo d'nlTnlres. The Jamaican treaty Is
now to bo forwarded to Kingston for the ap-
provnl of the colonlnl authorities , nnd when
this Is given the formal signing of tbo In
strumcnt will occur. The Jnmnlcnn tariff
commission left this afternoon , going first
to Ottawa , to confer with the Canadian au
thorities. All parties concerned In the nego
tiations hero have been placed under the
strictest reserve , us It Is said that the dis
cussion of the details of the convention Just
concluded might prove prejudicial in both
countries. It Is known , however. Hint the
convention concluded todny Is under SLCtlon
1 of the Dlngloy tariff law , providing for
reclpioclty treaties , nnd Is not n mere "ar
rangement , " as provided for by section 3 of
the act. The concessions given to Jamnlca
differ materially from those allowed the
other British West Indian colonies , mainly
because of the recent tariff law enacted by
Jamaica , which had special application to
the United States.
The maximum concession permitted by
the law Is 20 per cent on the tegular duties ,
but it Is not stated whether the reduc
tions given to Jamaica amount to the full
20 per cent. In some of the other British
West Indian treaties 12 per cent is under
stood to have been the basis of reduction.
The latest returns show thnt Jamaica
shipped to the United States last year goods
valued at $3,490,011 , and received from the
United Stntes $1,389,583. This was before
the enactment of the Jamaican tariff law ,
which is understood to have been specially
directed toward the American trade. The
t ratio with the United States , both Im
ports nnd exports , has been about equal
to the combined trade with all other coun
tries , Including Great Britain and the other
British colonies.

WASHINGTON , July 1. The statement of
the public debt at the close of the fiscal year
1S99 , shows that the debt , less cash In the
treasury , amounted to $1,135,320,235 , which
Is a decrease , as compared with Juno 30 ,
189S , of $13,571,172. This decrease is ac
counted for by a corresponding increase in
the cash on hand.

est-bearing debt , $1,016,048,750 ; debt on
which Interest has ceased slnco maturity ,
$1,218,300 ; debt bearing no interest , $389-
433,653. Total , $1,136,700,703. This amount
however , does not Include $553,226,603 In
certificates and treasury notes outstanding ,
which nre offset by au equal amount of cash
in the treasuiy.
The cash in the treasury is classified as
follows : Gold , $273,393,480 ; sliver , $508,228.-
226 ; paper , $46,892,142. Bonds , deposits In

WASHINGTON , July 1. The reports from
Samoa on the progress being made by the
Joint High commission toward u settle
ment of the disturbed conditions theio arc
received with satisfaction hero. As to Mr
Chambers' futuio nothing has been assured
If he Is to retire as port of the scheme of
compromise projected by the commission It
is probable the administration will provide
him with another post. It Is suunlsed ,
however , that the chief Justice's retirement
will be entirely voluntary , In which case
the president would bo relieved of the neces
sity of finding another place for him.
Though the commission has abolished the
Samoan kingship out of hand thai action
Is not necessarily final and ia subject to the
approval of the three powers , tint there is
liltlo doubt that unanimity will bo had on
that point.
