?5 THE MQENINGr TIMES,. TUESDAY; -AFKIL 21, 1896. Hecht and Company, 515 Seventh St. 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.

CHHSDjOJIETOIITE Regard Raforms Held Out in the Light of Experience, 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. "WILL, OF ADMIBAL PORTER. IT- S. Supreme Court .Reverses the Court of Appeals' Decision.

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. To Appoint Trustees.

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. INFORMATION ON "BONDS. Carlisle ReplK to u Resolution of the Senate.

The Famous- 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. "WITH THE AMATEURS. The B. and O. Stars, have organized for 1896. They would like to hear Irom teams In Washington under seventeen years of age. Address H. Lowd.
