It doesn't follow that a stuff Is better because no other store has
It but It may be. Now, we have the Royal, fast black, stainless
hosiery lTo other store has. We can't get enough of them for the
trade. There is another point about these hose besides the fact that
they don't stain the feet, they are a little better quality than any
other in the market for the same retail price, from 75 cents to 1 60
per pair.
Our W. C. C, corsets are a wonderful success, both in shape and
price from $1 00 to $3 50.
If you want to get your new dre3s now we have good news for

OUR CASE!
Dry goods are bought and
Bold usually for the profit there
is in the transaction. And the
"ARCADE" does not intend to
convey the idea that we sell our
goods for cost or less than cost,
but there are some instances
where it pays to lose a little
money rather than to keep
goods on hand from one season
to another.
We are invoicing this week
and will from day to day put;
on our counters all the small
lots remaining unsold at less
than the goods are worth.
If you can buy at the
'Arcade." an article for 4S cents
why paj' 50 cents?
If the "Arcade is cuttinor

HER ADDEE3S APPRECIATED.
j Mrs. Lease Speaks on Anti-Monopoly to
Union Laborites.
Kaksas City, Mo., Feb. 23. Seventy-five
representatives of the Union Labor party
convened at Turner hall at 11 o'clock this
morning. They are from Kansas, Missouri,
Illinois find Iowa. After an organization
had been effected Mrs. Lease, of Wichita,
addressed the convention on the subject of
oi anti-monopoly and urged the claims of
the Farmers' alliance. Her speech, which
was well delivered and to the point, aroused
frequent bursts of euthusiasm from her
heniers. Ed. Harper, who nominated
Abraham Lincoln for the presidency, also
delivered an address which was frequently
cheered. P. II. Elder, ex-lieutenant gov
ernor of Kansas, was chosen temporary
chairman. The committee on res
olutions is: C. E. Cunningham, of Kan
svre; Colonel Norton, of the Chicago Sen
tinel, and a gentleman named .Rogers; Ed
Blair, of Kansas; E. Gillette and E. Mc
Donald, of Missouri, form the committee
on order of business.
A majority of the members of the
national executive committee, about
twenty editors of Union Labor newspa
pers, and as many more members of the
party "at larKe," took part. Among the
prominent Union Libor men preseut
were: Chairman Fostorn. of the executive
committee; A. J. Streeter, who ran for
president on the Union Labor ticket in
1SS3; C. E. Cunningham, candidate for
vice president; Editor Norton, of the Chi
cago Sentinel; Jeso Harper, who nom
inated Liucolu for president, and ex-Con-gressniau
Weaver.
After recess the committees reported.
The committee on resolutions reported as
follows:
We congratulate the Union Labor party
upon the brave and gallant light which it
made in the presidential campaign of 16SS
a campaign characterized by the most
extravagant, corrupt and shameless use of
moupy by the managers of the Democratic
and Republican parties ever witnessed in
history of the United States. Though
there has been a change of administration,
there has been no change of policy calcu
lated to rrlieve the agricultural and in
dustrial classes. ,
Resolved, That we reaffirm and declare
our allegiance to the Union Labor party
and its organization, and that we advise
our candidate-, cauvaers and press in
the political contest of this year to concen
trate their effoits upon the" reforms advo
cated in our platform of 18SS. relating to
finance, transposition, land and the sup
pression of trusts. All evils which now
nllhct and oppress .the agricnltuial and in
dustrial classes linvo their origin and rem
edy in one or the other of these questions.
As long as these conditions exist there is
necessity for the existence of the Union
Labor party.
The princiDles of the Union Labor party
being substantially in hai niony wtth the
demands and purposes advocated by the
alliance, the wheel, the Kniuhts of Labor,
the Maimers' Mutual Benefit association,
the Patrons of Husbandly, ve cordially
invite members of such organizations to
co-operate with us politically in the cam
paign of 1S9J.
Resolved, That we, the representatives
of the Union Labor paity iu conference as
sembled, are opposed to the issuing of all
iutercat bearing bonds of every character
and description for the reason that they
are an indirect mortgage upon the indus
tries of the country, the principal and in
terest of which have to be paid by the
laboring and industrial classes.
Resolved. That the union labor confer
ence symptthi7.es with the efforts of the
American Federation of Labor and all
other labor organizations to reduce the
hours of labor of all those working on rail
roads, in factories, workshops and all
others but rarmers.
Discussion of the resolutions occupied
the remainder of the afternoon.

Another Unproductive Debate in the
House on the Oklahoma Bill Messrs.
Call and Chandler Occupy the
Senate's Time With Person
alities Items From
the Capital.
"Washington, Feb. 25. The Chicago
people are not resting upon their victory
in the house yesterday, but are making
every effort to expedite tho legislative
action upon the world's fair bill. The fair
bills, as previously stated, have been re
committed to the select committee in order
to insure the speedy insertion iu the
proper bill of the name of the site and for
the perfection of details which were neces
sarily left open until the successful city
was known. There is uo expressed fear of
further opposition in the house or senate
to tho perfection of the Chicago bill.
Mr. Springer says that the New York rep
resentatives have assured him that they
accent the situation in good faith and will
use their influence in the senate to help
along the Chicago bill, and do all in their
power to make the fair a success.
THE SILVER BILL
Introduced in the Senate The Oall and
Chandler War.
"Washington, Feb. 25. A number of
bills were reported aud placed on the
calendar, among them being one to author
ize the purchase of gold and silver bullion
and the issue of treasury notes in payment
thereof. The bill directs the purchase of
silver bullion to the amount of H.500,000 a
month and of as much gold bulliou as may
be offered and the issue therefor of
treasurv notes, and it repeals the law di
rectiug'the coiuage of $i,000,000 silver dol
lars per month. -
Mr. Beck said the report from the
finance committee .vas not unanimous
and that he opposed it. Senator Sher
man and McPherson are also said to be
opposed to the bill.
In the debate on the resolution offered
3resterday by Mr. Chandler, censuring Mr.
Call for Interpolating in the) official report
of the proceedings of the senate a para
graph that had not been spoken and that
was unparliamentary and personally offen
sive, Mr. Call gave notice to the senator
from New Hampshire who had arraigned
him by the resolution that he (Mr. Call)
would arraign him (Mr. Chandler) bsforo
tho senate and would demand an inves
tigation by the committee for mak
ing an accusation that was untrue.
The remarks of the senator proved
that he knew that the accusation
was not true. He (Mr. Call) would convict
the senator on evidence of his own (that
would convict before a jury of respectable
New Hampshire Republicans) that he did
hear and knew that he (Mr. Call) had ut
tered on the floor of the senate substan
tially the whole of the charge contained in
the paragraph and (with a very few excep
tions) every word contained iu it.
Mr. Sherman declared that the rules of
the senate had just been violated by the
the senator from Florida in as gross a
manner as ho had ever witnessed. Ho
hoped the senator from Florida would
read over tho report of what he
had said and not have published
iu the Record language which in general
assembly m the world would be regarded
as disorderly and improper.
Mr. Call If I have violated any rule of
the senate by any observation which I
have made today, or formerly, I withdraw
them, and I apologize to the senate. I did
not understand that I was violating any
rule. If I am not at liberty when a reso
lution reflecting on mo is offered here to
state that it is not true, and that I can
prove that it is not true, and
that the senator (when he mude tho
charge) knew that it was not truo,
then 1 do not understand the rules of the
senate. But if in the judgment of any
senator it is improper to use that language
I will withdraw it and apologize for it.
Mr. Chandler I will not reply to this
gentleman from Florida this morning in
unparliamentary language. I have stated
in the resolution which is now before the
senate aud which I am willing to have re
ferred lo the committee on privileges and
elections what the conduct of the senator
from Florida has been. I hive recited the
words he used and the alterations which
he made in the official report. The facts
are stated in the preamble. The facts are
true. The complaint which I made was
that the senator had iusTted in his re
marks words which he had not uttered. I
did not complain in the resolution of the
language which he did utter as being un
parliamentary. Wheu that question goes
to the committee with the resolution I
hope the committee will take occasion to
iniorm the senate and thecountry whether
or not the language used by the senator
was parliamentary, and what language
may be used by senators in relation to
each other, whether in attack or in defense.
At 2 o'clock the Blair educational bill
was taken up as unfinished business," and
Mr. Coke addressed the senate in opposi
tion to it.
Mr. Stanford addressed the senate in
advocacy of the bill.
Mr. Reagan obtained the floor to speak
against the bill.
A DINNER GIVEN BY CARNEGIE.
Washington. Feb. 25. The dinner given
tonight by Mr. Andrew Carnegie to the
president and cabinet and the delegates
and officers of the international American
congress was undoubtedly the most ele
gant affair of tho kind ever given iu "Wash

were planned by him bnt as he had been
compelled to be absent from the city, be

of the new large dining room of the Ar
lington hotel were literally banked with
flowers. The tables were circular in fo m,
thirty-six feet in diameter ana covers were
laid for forty-eight gentlemen. In tea
center of the tible was a mammoth four
lcuved clover of maiden hair fern, over
which was suspended a montrous si.ver
lamp, the brilliancy of wbica was softened
by festoons of sea weed that dropped into
the mfiidpn hair. The menu was piiravwi
in fine script npoa heavy bevelled "blocks j
ot papier mache ana every article of. food
was described la plain English. During
the dinner a vocal nd instrumental solo
by noted artists was given, instead of the
ordinary orchestral music. There were no
formal speeches: j

Prescott, Ariz., Feb. 24. The worst
fears in tegard to the Walnut Grove disas
ter are more thau realized, nlthoug partic
ulars come iu slowly aud are still meagre.
Two prospectors arrived late last nicht
from the upper dam. They say that they
camped above the dam on Friday night.
At about 1 o'clock on Saturday morning
the dam broke the water rushing down
the uarrow steep canyon in a solid body
eighty feet high. One man was rescued
from the top of a tree. They state
that not even a remnant of tho
dam exists. The immense body of water,
one and a half miles square and
sixty feet deep, was emptied in an hour.
They had talked with many from the
smaller dam fifteen miles below who said
that up to Saturday evening twenty-five
bodies had been recovered, but could give
no additional names. Tho survivors were
in the greatest destitution, having neither
provisions nor clothing. Coirso grain
sneks were used in lieu of clothing. Tho
camp of workmen engaged in building a
flume has not been heard from at all nnd
It is feared that all are lost. No news hns
yet been received here from Wickenberg
or from the settlements below the dam.
More detailed particulars are looked for
uow every moment.
The failure of the messcneer to arrive
yesterday with further particulars of the
great disaster on the Hassayampa river
hnd a tendency to engender the feeling of
hope in the hearts of many that the news
was exaggerated nnd that the horrible
catastrophe was uot as bad ns was at first
briefly reported. Such hopes, however,
were dispelled last night about 7 o'clock
when J. J. Williams, miniug superintend
ent, accompanied by his brother, U. F
Williams, of Bisbee, and Prof. James
JJouulass. mlniuir expert and capitalist,
arrived from Copper bisin and related tho
!.... .1.t I ....
onei story iom mem uy vu I" ""l1";
lironi-. from Walnut Grove dam. Tho
was all hope dispelled, but their story
" --
went to show that bait nas not Dcen torn.
A short time after the arrival of Professor
Douglass and the Williams brothers, E. II
Becus, stage agent, who took Sheriff
O'Neill and Dr. Miller to tho scene, return
ed and reported that a messenger with full
particulars had been sent by Sheriff O'Neill.
It was midnight, however, before this man
arrived with a list of the lost so far as
known and a list of the survivors. Sheriff
O'Neill writes as follows:
Roi'KACK'S RANCH, Monday, Fob. 24.
The scene of desolation along the Has
sayaninpa river below the siteof the dam
is complete. A tornado could not have
made such a complete wreck. For miles
the water turned by tho breaking of the
dams have filled the bed of the creek with
bodies and huge boulders, trees and every
thing in the way of debris.
The followiug thirty-eight names are a
paitial list of the drowned:
Hannah McCarthy, maid to Miss Hanlon
uul Miss Van Buren; Joe Reynold, miner,
George Ebbetts. laborer: N. K. Nickell.
laborer; Alexander McMill'in, coachman
for Mr. V-in Buren; E.G. Wheeler, labor
er; one Mexican name unknown. G. L.

laborer; Casner Freester, laborer; John
Brown, engineer; Alexander Brown, en
gineer; S. Burlome, laborer: L D H.iynes,
laborer, mid child; George Ruudell, labor
er, and eiht Chinamen.
Besides these here mentioned some
twelve or fifticn miners who were in the
placer mines between the upper and lower
dams with a number of much people along
the stream are missing nnd when all cas
ualties are learned the entire loss will
nrobublv be between fifty and sixty live.
Bodie-. thus far discovered are aootit j
twelve, many oi wnicu weie lounu tweniy
oi thirty mile from where the fiood over
took them. The remains are more or les
mutilated, while iu. several casts only frag
ments have been recovered as the
force of the flood wa terrific.
Many bodies have doubtless bn buried
in the sands and ether tutu to pieces aud
carried south. The impetus of the stream
of water when turned looa can hardly be
appreciated without going over ground
covered by it. I'tioe who saw it sny tdat
it apparently crushed down instead of
sweeping away everything before it. Im
mense boulders weighing tons w?re thrown
around im a child might toss a Imll.
Enormous tret s were broken in two or
torn into snreds. Iron bars were
broken or twisted out of shapv, and an
ordinary llatiron was pickd Uj aud car
ried five miles and then itnbtfdd"d in the
walls of the canyon escbty feet above tho
present levtl of the stream. A large safe
belonging to Robert Brown, containing In
the neighborhood of $7,000, was swept
away and no trace has yet been found of
it. What ever tne water struck went
down. 1 he fiood struck the lower dam at
1.50 and five minut-s later the headquar
ter, five miles below, were &wept way.
.Several persons wrrt at both point water
ing but notwithstanding this th
number of men drowuJ at tie firt point
was over thirty, those who did tct did
so witt. only what th'y had on their backs
