The New Gowns
That ynu seo on the street, mostly come from
our store--the reason being that everything wo
have is NEW. All our suits are made with the
now box plaited skirt, the plain habit back is
altogether a thing of the past, still you will
find some stores who call them the latest, that
is because they try to get as much and more
for old styles than we ask for the very newest.

Tillman dcclnrid that the government cs
tabllshed now In I'orto Ulco was worso than
that forced upon them by tho government of
fipaln, especially as to tho Islaud.'a fiscal
affairs, as under Spanish rulo tho I'orto
Itlcans had at least a free markot In Spain
for their goods.
This assertion Oalllngcr disputed. calling
Tillman's attention to tho fact that Spain
levied a duty on I'orto Hlco' products,
especially colTce. which constituted four
fifths of tho export product of tho Island. .
Tillman read extracts from General Dnvls'
report and aald ho thought tho way to help
tho pcoplo of I'orto Hlco to get on their
feet was to glvo thorn a market through
the meant) of free- trado with tho United
States. If a public soup houso was started
men who might corn their living with a
hoo or nn nxo would sit down and wait
for tho soup to be hnnded around.
Tillman referred to what he nald would
ho tho monumental salaries of tho officials
In the Insular possessions, particularly not
ing tho members of the I'hlllppluc com
mission. Foraker Informed Tillman that he had
been told that tho highest salary of any
member of tho commlfslon would bo $10,000
a year. "That may be disappointing to tho
senator," suggested Foraker.
Wtlllnu; to Trust McKlnley.
"No;" replied Tillman. "I'm gratified.
I'm always willing to trust William Me
Kluley, but It Is his had and wicked part
nam that I'm afraid of. Ho Is a patriotic
man, although Just now ho may bo carried
off his feet by tho dream of appearing In
his1 class alongside of Jefferson and othcts
who added largely to our territory." In
conclusion he besought congress to take
Its 'hands from tho throat of the I'orto
alcana and glvo them a chance to govern
themselve, even If wo had to guldo them
little at first. At Tillman's suggestion

WASHINGTON, March 16. It Is learned
that tho purpose of the government to ac
quire tho Island of St. Thomas for a roason
ablo consideration from Denmark has not
been abandoned, notwithstanding tho stnic
: mcnts attributed to tho Danish ministers
1 Indicating a decision not to part with tho
Island.
1 Whllu it Is not conlemplatod that any
pressure Bhould be brought to bear upon
Denmark In this matter, It is still believed
that tho last announcement In the case Is
perhaps only an evidence of n purposo un
tho part of tho Danish authortles to Kccurn
a higher prlco tor the Island than tho United
Slates had regarded as proper.
It Is probablo that no active effort will bo
. mado by our government to hasten the nego-
; ttatloms on this suhjoct, but having learned !
' that tho finances of tho Island showed a de
ficit last year of $75,000, In splto of the most
rlsld enonnmv In thn administration n mim
charged up against tho homo government, j
it Is believed that our terms will ultimately
bo accepted If reduced to a concrete proposl-1
tlon to pay $3,000,000 for St. Thomas and
St. Cruz.

WASHINGTON, March 16. Arrangements
aro being mado for tho extension of tho
time allowed for tho ratification of tho
Jamaican reciprocity treaty and the other
reciprocity conventions applying to tho Brit
ish West 'Indian islands.
These conventions contain about the same
conditions as the French reciprocity treaty
rolatlvo to ratification, nnd tho tlmo limit
allowed for ratification expires at about the
samo time. So far as can be learned by
tho Stnto department there Is little or no
opposition to any of these British West In
dian treaties, with tho exception of tho
Jamaican treaty, and It Is said tho oppo
sition In that case Is rapidly disappearing
as tho actual scopo of tho treaty becomes
known. Tho fact that tho French treaty
has precedence on tho sennto calendar over
these other arrangements makes It neces
sary to extend tho tlmo If thoy are to bo
saved for furthor consideration.

NEW YORK, March 16. Nine Inches of
snow nud sleet cover tho streets of New
York today nnd 1,000 men nro battling with
It In Manhattan. Threo thousand more aro
nt work In Brooklyn. Traffic has been
partially paralyzed In some sections of tho
city slnco early morning. During the early
hours the Brooklyn brldgo truffle was prac
tically blocked. The sleet on tho third
rail supplying electric power to the bridge
cars cut off the current and a general
blockade was tho result. The trolley lines
over tho brldgo were not much better and
thousands of persons wero forced to walk
ucrofH tho structure In the fnco of a cutting
wind and sleet. Surfaco traffic was of course
everywhere delayed nnd tho Fifth avenuo
elevated road, which uses the third rati
electric system In Brooklyn, was almost
completely tied up after midnight. In thn
crowded streets down town fallen horses
nnd stalled drays nnd trucks greatly Im
peded business, causing many blockndes.
In the outlying districts of the boroughs of
Manhattan and the Bronx similar co-talons
prevailed. The fall of biiow In Jersey was
heavier than In the city. Mall trains were
delayed by the storm nnd tho mulls woro
several hours behind lu their delivery. On
many of the suburban lines In Jersey the
trolley wires broke under tho weight of
their coating of sleet and Ice, tying up sev
eral lines completely. A number of horses
were killed by contact with live wires.
No fatalities from tho cold are reported
In tho city. The stcJon houses and charita
ble Institutions were crowded with home
less. SHAMOKIN. Pa., March 16. Snow began
falling here yesterday morning and when the
storm ceased ut I o'clock this morning tho
ground was covcied to a depth of soventecn
InchcH nnd this place Ih now completely
snowbound. Over 6,000 men and bayo re
siding between hero nnd Mount Cnrmel and
employed at the vnrlous collieries nro Idle
owing to tho blockade. In a number of
mountain parses traversed by trnlns snow
drifted from five to fifteen feet. Tho storm
was especially severe In the coal regions,
theunowfall being the heaviest of the season.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., March 16. The
worst to bo feared by fruit growers of east
ern Tennessee and north Georgia was re
alized In tho cold wave of last night. Re
ports this morning show that tho mercury
dropped to 24 and everything l frozen over
this entire section. Fruit growers will lose
heavily. Johnson City reports nine Inches of
snow, which, by Its weight, has damaged
largo tracts of timber.
ATLANTA, Ga., March 16. Freezing tern
pornturo was reported today as far south ns
a lino running east nnd west through the
center of tho cotton bolt. Killing frcst l
reported nt Fort Smith, Ark., near Mobile
nnd at Macon. Tho rain and snow of yester
day In many parts of tho south was fol-
lowed by clearing and much colder weather.
Fruit men say tho trees cannot ctnnd a
continuation of the cold. Tho recent warm
weather had advanced the tree rapidly.

ST. LOUIS, March 16. Bx-Governor Wil
liam J. Stone, democratic national commit
teeman from Missouri, said today ho be
lieved there was some truth In the stnte
ment that thero Is n movement among east
ern democrats to elect Tom L. Johnson of
Ohio chairman of tho nntlonal commltteo
and eliminate silver from tho platform.
To a l'ost-Dlspatch representative Gov
ernor Stono said: "Somo sort of n scheme
Is on foot, although I am not nble yet to
say exactly what It Is. From Information
that came to mo at Washington and since, t
gather that the end which thp Palmer and
Buckner democrats are trying to attain Is tho
enpturo of tho organization of the party.
Tholr schemo seems to bo to get Into tho
convention as delegates, aud with as little
noiso as possible, but by means of adroit
manipulation, control ns many delegations
as possible, with the ultimate object of con
trolling tho convention and capturing tho
national committee. They will ho for Ilryan,
but they want tho organization.
"Speaklhg for myself, while I am very
glad to seo tho Palmer and Buckner demo
crats, who deserted tho party In 1898, como
back to It, I do not believe In offering a
premium for their return. It they como
back they should como with no hope of
roward, but as plain democrats. They de
serted the party In 1896 nnd fought It as
hard as thoy could, and thoy should expect
no roward for seeing tho error of tholr ways
nnd repenting. I do not bellovo In giving
them tho management of the national cam
paign, "That thero Is some ecbeme, such as has
been alleged, on foot, I havo no doubt. It
Is shown by many hits of ovidonco that have
cropped out recently."
