The part of a. Serge Suit
that ought to be good is the
color. Who wants a Serge
Suit from which the color
rubs! It's worse than none.
Some dyes are like the paint
on a house wears off. There
has never been . found a
paint which would sink into
the wood, coloring it
through and through. Same
way with dyeing- cloth. The
ordinary "dyes don't dye
through and through.
We've found a manufac
turer who uses a dye that
sinks into and becomes a
part of the cloth. It-won't
rub off he guarantees that.
Our Suits arc made from
the finest of pure wool, dyed
by this dye. When they're
made up they are worth $15,
but we sell them for $10,
because we want to get a
'trade" on them, you can
.have them Single or Double
Breasted skeleton or half
lined, and we guarantee
them through and through
will return your money if
you are not satisfied.
$10 each cash or credit.
You can just as well have
credit if j-ou want it pay
for the Suit in weekly or
monthly-installments.

END OF THE WABNOTIH SIGHT
Spuniblt Government TtiHlst8 Tlmt the
InsnrgeutH JMust Lay Down Their
Arms hh the First Step Toward nn
Adjustment Gen. Fitz. Lee'H Plan
Are Yet Undecided.
In the oral discussions of Cuban affairs
which liave taken placi lis j ween the Span
ish minister ami Secretary Olney during
the last few weeks, uu informal memor
andum of some fifty or sixty reform meas
ures which under certain contingencies,
the Spanish Government is willing to accord
to Cuba, is understood to have played
an important part.
These concessions arc entirely distinct
from the decree of the 15th of March, 1895.
which was promulgated by the Spanish
queen -regent fccreutcen days after the
outbreak of the insurrection, and winch
was countersigned by Buenaventura de
Abarzuza, minister of the culoules, himself
a native or Havana.
That decree provided a system of govern
ment rortlielsluul or Cuba andfor the re
adjustment of its civil administration, but
left, as now. absolute revisiouary power
la theliaudsof the governor general.
DEFEAT THEMSELVES.
The new proposals of reform, which
Jiave been informally .brought under discus
sion between the Spanish minister and
Secretary Olney, are broader tind more
liberal than the decrees, and approach more
nearly to political autonomy"; but are
uccompaniedbyconditlons which apparently
render their adoption or eeu their consid
eration by the Insurgents a matter of
impossibility.
As in. the case in the ten years' "war,
Spain insists as a preliminary to ucgotia'
.tions that tlie insurgents shall first iaj
down their arms, as it Is against the dignity
or the Spanish crown to treat with armed
rebels.
The Cuban leaders assert that when they
complied with similar conditions in 1878
In order' to secure the reforms pledged to
them by Martinez Campos, the pledges
then made were chiefly lert unfilled, and
they emphatically decline to be again
deceived in a like manner.
Consequently the prorrered measure of
reform is likely to fall to the ground as far
as Cuba is concerned, though some similar
provisions may probably be tendered to
Puerto Rico where no rebellion, exists.
Nothing in the suggested plan as it now
.stands holds out any prospect of a speedy
termination of the desolating war,
GE.V. LEE'S INTENTIONS.
PrivatesidvicesreceivedherefromHavann
indicate that the hopes which -were at
first expressed that the appointment of
Gen. Titzhugh Lee as consul general to
Havana might open up some way of ad
justment, have died away. It is doubted
whether Gen. Lee will he able to take up
his new duties for months to come.
This is the Leginning or the most sickly
season in Cuba. The cares and worries
and the responsibilities of the office of
consul general at Hava.na.toau unacclimated
man of Gen. Lee's portly physique, il is
said, would he likely to bring on an at
tack of yellow fever, recovery from Tvhich
might be doubtful.
He could not take refuge in the mountains
because the hundreds of alleged natural
ized American citizens who are clamoring
for protection and reparation frcrn Spain
would render such an escape impossible.
Friends of Gen. Lee who have been long
residents in Cuba are said to have written
to him strongly dissuading him from at
tempting to take up bis duties until the
rainy season is over.
DEATH CAUSED "BY DBOTVNING.
Coroner' Verdict In the Case of the
Italian, Mazzocchl. "
Yesterday evening the coroner's jury
brought in a verdict in the case of Bung
figeia Mazzocchl, the young Italian, whose
body was found floating in the river last
Thursday.
The jury found that the dead man came
to his death by drowning, and that there
was no evidence to show -whether it was
the result or accident, suicide, or homi
cide. They held further that they could
not hold anyone responsible for the man's
deatli. The body had been in the water
for three months and Dr. Glnzebrook, the
deputy coroner, said ic was impossible
from tiieadvaucedstate of decomposition to
determine, whether the mau had received
any bodil j'njury.
Several Italians who had known Mazzoc
chl, testified to his disappearance, but
could not explain it.

The resolution Tor au Investigation 'into

two or three? occasions, but Senator JIIU
was not inclined) yield an inch of the
right of the Senat? to a full debate on the
resolution or ttfibufca'te any time when a
vote might bej-cacjied; and on the other
hand the champan and members or the
Committee d3 'Apprdpriations insisted ou
the importancttrij getting along with the
great appropri.jyotrja bills.
Finally, Mr, Jeff er, author of the boud
resolution, coiwented uluctantly to have
that resolution laid aside temporarily until
the appropriation bills uow berore the
Senate are disposed of.
The Indian appropriation bill was under
coiifclderallon the whole day, but did not
advance asiuglestep .
Notice was given by Mr. Vilas, Dem..
Wisconsin, that ojuWednesday, April 29,
he would present to the Senate a com
munication fronf the governor or Wis
consin offering tp, Congre3 the btatuc of
"James" Marquette,
MR. PEFFER IS ANXIOUS.
Mr. Peffer suggested that possibly Mr.
Hill would indicate a time when a vote
could be taken on the bond resolution.
"It is utterly impossible," Mr, Hill re
plied, "to say wliert the debate on that
resolution will conclude, as several Sen
ators have Indicatid a purpose to speak.
There can be no agreement as to a time
for a vote." Mr. Hill added that he had
been cut off "frequently 'in his remarks,
on ll.e question. He -did not appro ,-c of
the crowding or appropriation bills in order
to take up the bond resolution.
Mr. Pettigrew asked Mr. Hill to state
how many hours would be desired ror
debate, but Mr. Hill declined to btate any
time.
Mr. Allison, Rep.. Iowa, appealed to
Mr. Perfer to defer the bond resolution
until appropriation bills were out of the
way.
As .Mr. Peffer appeared inclined to ascent
to Mr. Allison's suggestion, a vigorous
protest ngamst his-doing so vas made by
Air. Stewart, Pop., Nevada. It was clear,
he said, that a persistent plan of delay was
being carried on,t. "The bond resolution
was In hi Ulearar more important than
appropriation bills.
Mr. Wokott, Rep.. Colorado, remonstrated
with Mr. Stewart, Jiitimuting that the
friends of the bond resolution would cer
tainly gain by accepting the suggestion of
Mr. Allison.
FIGHT TO A FINISH.
The resolution, he said, "would thus te
curu the added support of those who vreie
now urging appropriation bills as against
the bond resolution.
Mr. Stewart yielded to Ui is appeal, saying
tollr. Allison: 'It might as well be known
that when the time comes, there will be
a fight to the finish on tills subject. We
will stand to it day after day to the end.
It will be no child's play. The adminis
tration is fighting It. When. the fight
comes, will "the Isenalor be here?
"I am very likely to be in. the neighbor;
hood," Mr. Allison replied, pleasantly.
ir was then agreed by 'unanimous consent
that the bond resolution be postponed until
appropriation bills, now reported, were
disposed of. J""' .
The consideration of, thelndinn appro
priation bill was.r.esfumttdinflu the argumenif
as to attorneys' fobs for the western
Cherokees was proceejedwith.
Mr. Chandler commented sarcastically
upon the allowance reported for legal
services. He singled put the .item of
$7,003.80 Tor Reese ,11. Voorhees and
John Paul Jones, and asked what that item
was Tor, when these gentlemen had already
been paid their claim or $32,000.
MR. CHANDLER SARCASTIC.
Mr. Teller informed, him that the SV.000
Item was Tor additional service in resiling
the demands of other lawyers.
"That is n very singular state of things."
said Mr. Chandler, "These Indians have
paid out 35 per cent of their claim, and
then are called upon to pay the -same
lawyers for protecting them against the
unreasonable elainn af other attorneys."
"Then there Is .the case of Mrs. Belva
A ., Lorkwood. Sjhq. is to get $1,000 while
her claim -was for $80,000. Why not treat
the vroman as woll-as you do the man?" "
"If the Senator asks for information,"
Mr. Teller tartly replied, "T -will give it
to him, but if he is only talking in order
to hear himself talk. I will not interrupt
him." -
Mr. Chandler's comment upon this re
mark -was that the Senator from Colorado
had "bad temper enough, but lit tie informa
tion." (Laughter.)
After remarks by Mr. Platr, Rep.. Conn.,
in defense of the amendment, and Mr. Pal
mer, Dem.. III., In criticism of it, the
matter "went over without action, and the
Senate at 4:15. on molion of ilr. Gorman.
Dem., Md., adjourned until today.
'OXE OF THEIB HUSEVESS..
Democratic Senators Agreo to Let
Certain Legislation Alone.
A courerenccof Democratic Senators was
held in Senator Gorman's room yesterday
afternoon after adjournment, called at
the instance of Mr. George, who wanted a
policy outlined with respect to his bank
ruptcy Jjill. The conference "at once de
cided that inasmuch as the propoj-ed busi
ness was not political and the Republicans
were charged -wilb'the conduct or the busi
ness or the 8enate,it could take no action.
This result was tbc more easily reached
because of.the difference of cpinion as to
the merits or demerits of-the proposed bill.
It was tacitly agreed-that if the Repub
licans had a plan Of business mapped out
and it were presented to the Democrats
it would then be time enough for the con
ference to act.
SMALLEST IN FOUR "TEARS.
Sundry Civil Rill usPassed Carried
About S3 5,000,000.
The sundry civil bill," as it passed the
House js the smallest since 1892, and it
is claimed for the Senate committee that
the large increase made was due to the
fact that the Senate revised to appropriate
sufficient to supply Qie various depart
meuts during the whole-of the fiscal year
which the bill Ib supposed to cover.
The estimates called for $40,473,653,
and the House only appropriated $29,
836,992. The Seuate increased this bj'
S5,121,850. The same, bill for the cur
rent year carries an appropriation of forty
six and one-half millions.
The Seuate bill is less than tbe present
law, by more than eleven and one-half
millions, and less than the estimates' by
five and one-half millions.

WIFE'S TA"LE OF ABUSE.
Mrs. Trlpel'H Divorce IU11 Full of
Hccltnls of Cruelty.
Emma M. V. Triepel brought suit for
divorce yesterday against Friedrich W. T.
Triepel, formerly a draughtsman, charging
liirn with cruelty and intoxication. The
marriage of the two took place in this city
September 7, 1889.
The wife alleges that her husband was
discharged from a position as draughtsman
witff the Richmond and Danville railroad
because of his Ipve for drink. After that
he went to Round Hill, Va.. where thewlfe
was then living and abused her fearfully.
At thi3 "juncture-, Mrs. Triepel declares,
that life became so wretched that she
attempted to commit suicide by taking
laudanum and -was saved trom death only
by the timely appearance or. a physician.
While she was still in a dangerous condition
Trom the use of the drug, she said, her
husband entered the room and showed
gratification at what she had done.
The petitioner also declares that while
they were at Round Hill the "White Caps"
threatened her husband because of his
disgraceful conduct.
FOR PARTY ADVANTAGE.
"Why thi Democrats Are Anxious to
"Prolong theSesHlou.
Soiiieoftlie Republican Senators, nsktated
in yesterday's Times, are apprehensive
that there is a deep scheme en the .part
or the Democrats to postpone adjournment
until n week or so after the St. Louis con
vention. Indeed, there are many Denio
craticSeuators who are outspoken infaror
of ,this idea, and while they are not quite
willing to bay openly that they look for
party advantage that appears, however,
to Le the real reason Tor their action.
It Is argued by the politicians that the
outcome of the St. Louis convention is
bound to be a straddle on the financial
question and if Congress is in eshni after
that event the Democratic statesmen at
both ends of the Capitol can make tons
of campaisn material for their party. It
is this fact which is. giving the Republican
leaders of hoth houses no end of trouble.

Their Talents for the Evening.
The Morton Cadets benefit entertainment
given last evening at Metzerott Hall was
attended by a "fairly large but thoroughly
appreciative audience.
The program consisted of vocal and in

nunihera were rendered by some of tbetoest
and most popular of the local talent and
were enthusiastically applauded. Mr.

number of comic songs and Mrs. Thomas C.
Hoyes. in response to an encore, sang very
uweetly 'Good-by" by Tischoff. The
vocal solo'Leonora'byMissElclihom, the
recitation by Mr. Ed WaUhandthepianosulo
by Mr. "William "Waldeckcr also received
a flattering share of applause.
The greatest interest, however, at least
among the soldier element of the audience,
was centered in the officers competitive
drill. The candidates Tor the handsome
niedal, twenty in number.came on the stage
with a very soldierly appearance and each
looicing like a sure winner, but it was not
long before nineteen changed this opinion.
They were dropped out by the judges in
ones, two and threes until only Lieut

Ferree of the Business and Capt. Hoover of
the Central High Schools were lert .
Then quickly Lieut. McGowan and Capt.

Jiighly interesting contest.
The Judges were Capt. Charles Domer
and Lieut, Luther Reichelderfer.

ilTJST PAY Z,A2fD TAXES-
Supreme Conrt Decides That TacUio
Roud I Not Exempt.
The Central Pacific Railroad Company,
said the supreme court of the United Stateu
yesterday, in an opinion delivered by Justice
Brown, most pay taxes on the lands of
grant within the State of Nevada, which
have been surveyed but not patented, the
costs for the survey not being paid. The
taxation of such lands, the opinion said,
was specifically authorized by act of
Congress or July 10, 18a6. In dikeussing
the question, the opinion said.
"The company has had possession of
theselands for thirty yearst-bas offered them
for sale, and sold them as its own; and,
whenever it has been for its advantaga
to do so, aas claimed poses8ion of them
and dealt with them as its private property.
"To assert all the rights of ownership
and at the same time to repudiate all its
obligations consists neither with the terms
of the grant nor with the dictates of natural
Justice.
"The act of Congress, In providing that
such lands should not be exempted from
taxation. Impliedly assents to their same,
but also guards the rights of thegovernmenc
to them by providing that they shall be
taken by the purchaser subject to the lien
for costs for surveying, and all other liens
or rights of the United States; and also
providing that at such sale the government
may become a preferred purchaser, and
in such case the lands shall be restored to
the public domain. It the company is
liable for taxes upon lands which have
bten surveyed, but the cost of which
surveys has not been paid, a portion of i
is liable if the cost has been paid."
Mr. Justice Field dissented.
