Jefferson City, Mo , Feb. S (Special.)
This evening Joseph T.itum, representative
from St. Louis, In looking through papers
In hN desk, In the housp, discovered the
lost bill tnlng heer. Then he pmembercd
that he had borrowed It from t e commit
tee room and In the rush of 'eglslatlvc
work, he had failed to return No one
will presume to question Mr. Tatum'H hon
esty and truthfulness. He was simply 11
Jlttle bit careless and was even ptrdouablo
in that. Thus ends the storj of the "Sen
ration at Jefferson City," "Of the scandal
nt the state capltol," of the "beer Inflec
tion, beer ta-vlng, inspector creating" bill
which was stolen.
Following the programme of the last few
da s, this evening closed with an lmmene
amount of work done In the house. Thir
teen bills were passed, ami several were
defeated on third reading. No member
presumed to ccn undertake to make a
long speech. From the hour of meeting this
morning to 6 o'clock this evening, it was
honest, faithful hard work. The change Is
refreshing. As an evidence of the senti
ments of the house It may be mentioned
that when the secretary of the senate was
announced this afternoon, and read the
title of Love's antl-clgarette hill, and pro
claimed that It had passed the senate, the
house broke forth In applause. Love's pro
hibiting cigarette ta bill has fair sailing
ahead of It. It Is generally conceded that
the passage of the stnate bill will not In
terfile with the passage of the house bill,
which piohlblts the sale of cigarettes to
bos. Between the two, manufacturers of
these little implements of destruction are
in hard lines. Dr. Tubbs' hill withdrawing
fourth class cities fiom the provisions of
the Australian billot law, tailed to pass.
While the law- Is not satlsfactorj.the house
thinks it is Infinitely better than tho old
law.
Major Dlttlngoi's bill, establishing a
board of police commissioners, consisting of
three persons, and appljlng only to St. Jo
seph, pissed after a short debate.
Mr. Avery's mei chants' license bill
passed. It affects all merchants, and Its
provisions are. In brief, as follows: ye
tween the first .Monday In Match anr, the
first Monday 1" June, the person or co
partneishlp do. '; u mcichant business,
must prepare a vvvorn statement of the
largest amount of goods on hand any time
in the period, and furnish it to the asses
sor, who registers the statement, and the
amount. Thereafter, the county board of
equalization reviews merchants' state
ments anilrquallzes them. The avowed
purpose In the bill is to avoid the'vast dll
Jerenees between merchants' taxes, to
equalize them In proportion to the goods
carried, and to place the same tav on
merchandise as on real estnte.
Mr. Treeman's bill providing that goods
sold for sterling silver must be AT, line,
and that all goods sold for coin silver must
be .900 fine, and making a violation a. mis
demeanor passed without opposition.
Jones, of Jackson, came to the rescue
to-day, In gloat shape, Upon his motion,
the engrossment of the stenogi.iphers bill
was ipconsldeied Thin the bill was
changed upon his motion to strike out all
after the enacting clause and new Motions
were adopted. As It now stands. It will
put the stenographei of the Jackson rountj
cilmlual lourt upon it salaiy of SIW pel

'this evening the wii)s and means com
mittee held a meeting. The Intention had
been to favoiably report the bill, lint Sen
ator Mott, of ht. Louis, appeared befoie
tho committee, and asked that dellnlte ac
tion bo postponed until net Wednesday
night, nt which time men who nio Inter
ested In opposition to the meisuie deslio
To be henrif In elpfe rencp to the leanest

The house this morning wf.s replete with
sensational statpments, startling personal
privileges and home liugable resolutions,
De Reign, of Scott count, Introduced a
bill prohibiting the weiring of hats In
theaters chinches, or other public places.
Its wording is as follows:
"Hvpi) petson who shall wear any hat,
or head covering In any public assembl,
church, theater, or other public gatheilng,
during any speech, sermon or peiformance,
shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor
and upon conviction lined in a sum not
exceeding ?5."
It appears that the representative from
Scott county lately went to St, Louis and
while there attended the theater. He hap
pened to get Into a seat in tho rear of a
bevy of oung ladles, whit were wearing
sk rocket hats, riecoiated with wide
stretching feathers nnd ribbons piled like
young hills upon miniature mountains. De

Major lllttlnger Introduced it bill appro
printing money to redeem certain Union
military bonds, held by T, J. Chew, of St
Joseph. The amount Is only K0. These
bonds are relics of the war. They are In
the form of bank bills, resembling the or
dinary greenback or National bank notes,
on the face of the bond It Is declared that
"this bond, for $.". Is Issued to bearer, for
actual services rendered In the enrolled
tnllllla of the state In defense thereof, and
Is paablc at the olllce of the treasurer In
JelTcrson Clt twelve months after date,
out of the t'nlon military fund, with (! per

occasionally n few tm m up and a special

Stlcknev, of Jnper. Introducid n bill to
prohibit the building of n street r.illwav on
streets, without consent of a majority of
the tntpavers on such street,
Mr, (lucrney, of Caldwell counlv, nrop
to a question of personal privilege. It
srems thnt some persons have taken ad
vantage of the loss or a bill from the room
of (he committee on wavs nnd means, and
have studiously endenvnred to Rive out the
impression that nme one Rtole the bill;
that It was a measure for which the brew
ers of the slate could well afford to pay
llberallv. If It should be effectually mis
laid. Mr. Guerney Introduced the bill by
request. It was referred to Mnjor Hlttln
gpr's committee, of which Colonel rinrch
Is derk. Subsequently It could not be
found. There the Incident ends, except for
evil pcd suspicion which Is ever ready to
damn men by faint pralso nnd pirtlal
proof.
The bill came from the prollllc hands of
the greit and only (lenern! Hilly nidci. It
provided foi the Inspection of the beer sold
in the state, and Ceneral Hilly wanted to
be Inspector. Put Into effect the bill would
have plded about Jino.oin revenue to the
stnle. These latter statements mark It us
a model boodle measure. Hut bills nre not
to be defeated In the middle of n seslon by
being stolen Trom committee room. There
fore this bill was not stolen, for no one
could have had a motive. As n matter of
fact. In the ordinary couise the bill would
not have been reported until psterdnv. As
soon ns Colonel Hun'h s ivv thnt It was
missing he prepared another bill along the
same lines, vvnien was introduced ester
dav, read the second time to-day, was re
ferred to the committee on wns nnd
means, and Mafor Hlttlnger savs It will be
reported to-night. To support the theory of
theft It must be supposed thnt some one
felt an Intense Interest in having the bill
staved off Just one dny. The proposition Is
too ridiculous to Justify a word In denial
or disproof.
Senate.
The sleepy Democrats of the sptuitp came
very nearly getting themselves In another
ho e this morning. Senator O'Hnnnon's
hill redisricting the state congresslonnlly
was lead tho second time and the question
came up on reference Senator O Hannon
moved to refer It to the commlttep of the
whole Some Democrat In a tender voice
amended by moving Its reference to the
committee on elections. Upon the latter
motion the vote was taken. At the close
of the vote It was discovered that four
Democrats weie absent. It stood 13 to 11
Then President O'Menr.i, exercising his
constitutional prerogative voted to send It
to the committee on elections. He stated
as he did so that It appealed to be puie
Iv a political measure. The reference of
the hill to the elections committee kills It,
In effect, since It will never again see the
light of day A leference to the committee
of the whole would not, of course, have
eairled it, but It would have given oppoitu
nltv for a full discussion In n fiee-foi-all
debate, upon the merits of the bill, nnd In
ecorl.itlon of the present ridiculous and
outrageous Demoirntlc congressional dis
tricting of the state, bv which Missouri,
for political purposes Is cut Into shapes like
snakes, pot hooks, axes, etc. It Is evident
that the senate will defeat any redisrict
ing bill which looks to a fair, honest nnd
non-partisan division of the state. ,

several confeiences weie held between the
champions of the uipisiius, but theie hip
some points upon which agiecmeut has
not jet been leached.
Senator Lsmnn Is a stickler fot the

di niniid pi ices fni themselves or foi their
friends Upsides, he thinks It is n serious
question whethti the governor would sign
any election bill which deprived him of tho
appointive powei
Senator Love also appeals to favoi the
LaughUn bill foi tho s imo te.tsous Hoth
of them, however, In convei-utiou to-night
said that the weie anxious to see soma
good I in pill if lug elections placed upon
tho stul'ite books and the Intlniited tint
nny sllg'it deviation In the hill from what
they thought best would not prevent them
from supporting It. Lmin and Lnughlln
were In consultation to-night over the mat.
tei At that time the suggested that
dltfeiences of opinion ovei the appoint
ment of c omnilri loners might be easily
avoided b pissing two bills, one nppljlnir
only to St Louis It cannot be denied that
such a schenio Is somewhat bulk and
nwkw.ird and Ins little to Justify It. except
the pride ot men who are anxious to ic
celvo credit for having made slight varia
tions upon the Chicago liw.
This evening nn understanding has been
agteed upon that Senator Love shall Intro
duce the Laughlln bill In tho senate "by
request" Monday Tuesday the St Louis
bill Is to be called up for engrossment In
the lioue and Dr. Tubbs, clulrmin of the

agreed upon Then each bill Is tn bo al

some oblectlonable features, which may
pievent Its bplug ndopted nt the last mo

INDIAN RESERVATIONS,

Semite Jllll.
Washington, Teb, S. (Special ) The In
dian bill, as repotted to the senate, pro.
vldes for two sears' extension for tho
settlers on the Cheyenne and Arapahoe and
Pottawatomie reservations, According to
this the settlers on those reservations will
not be compelled to make Hist pavinent on
claims until two ears from time of open
ing tho lesetvatlons to settlement.
It Is also provided that the Wichita res
ervatlon shall not be opened to settlement
for one seai after the passage of the act.
This Is according to the suggestion of Sen
ator Cockrel', but It is not satisfactory to
those desiring the reservation opened to
settlement. They say that, as It does not
restrict the time when It shall be opened
to settlement, the secretary of the Interior
would continue to lease the reservation
until the end ot the administration, and
lease It ahead one sear after he lias gona
into obscurity.
An effort will be made on the floor of the
senate to have this changed, compelling
the secretary to open the reservation to set
tlement within six months after the pas
sage of the act.

Che Too, 1'eb. S The Japanese landed n
force of troops near here last evening with
the Intention of capturing the city. The
landing was made about ten miles east
ward of Clio Too, and un Immediate ad
vance upon the city was ordered. As this
dl'patch Is sent the Japanese are attack
ing the forts defending the east part of
Che Too. Intense excitement prevails here
nnd It Is expected that a severe engage
ment will occur tu-da.
The Jnpnnese ships which nppeared tills
morning near Nlngkal.a town between Wei
Hal Wei nnd this city, and began a. bom
bnidment of the fort on the western side
of the town left soon nftervv arils without
doing nny damage. This confirms the 1m
ptesKlnii that the attack on Nlngkal was
only a feint ot the Japanese to cover a
binding of their forces nt some other place
and the people here believe that the cap
ture of some other place Is contemplated,
livery precaution Is being taken to defend
the city. Anothei .version of the appear
ance of the Jnpanesp ships off Nlngkal Is
thnt they were chasing two torpedo boats
supposed to contain Admiral Tlng.the com
mander of the Chinese nnv.al foices ot Wei
Hal wet, and captain Mcciure, the mer
chant marine ollleer who was appointed to
be assistant to Admiral Ting. These two
ofllcers were said to be escaping from Wei
Hal Wei on board the two torpedo boats
nnd the Japanese nre lepoited to hove
sunk both vessels nt n point northward of
Che Too. According to tho ndvlcos which
have re iched here from Wei Hal Wei, only
the Chen Yuen of the Chinese naval squad
ron nt Wei Hal Wei was sunk by the Jap
anese. Tho sister ship of that vessel, the
Ting Yuen, Is si,d to be ashore.
The Chinese Inhabitants of this city nre

London, 1'eh. S A dispatch received here
from Che Too sas that the Japanese hnvo
carried nil the Chinese possessions at Wei
Hal Wei, nnd that they have captured or
sunk the whole of the Chinese Northern
fleet. The Japanese, during the night of
Monday list, February i. cleared Wei Hal
Wei harbor of all torpedoes nnd sub-marine
mines by the skillful use of their
small torpedo boats and the steam
launches from tho warships, which small
cinft grappled for and cut the wires con
necting thp sub-marine mines nt the
shores When these dangerous obstruc
tions were removed the fleet of Japanese
torpedo boats mode a splendid dash for the
harbor and attacked the Chinese Meet
with such skill that. tlio..batUeshlp Ting
"Yuen was sunk.
These tactics were repeated during the
night of lVhrii iry il, and the Chen Yuen,
Lai Yuen and othei Chinese warships
were blown up and the lemalnder of the
Chinese licet was captured
Following up this splendid success, tho
Jnpinese completed the cipturo of WpI

force and seizing the Island of Liu Kung
Tio, which has made a gallant defense
against heav v Hies.
Some of the Japanese warships passed
Che Foo earl this morning nnd tired a
few shots .it the forts without doing nny
damage, and, In view of the reportH cur

upon Nlnghnl estetda, the belief glows
that the Japanese nre going to attack Che

Washington, Feb, S The president to-dny
sent the following message to congress:
To the congress of the United States.
Since my recent communication to con
gress, calling attention to our financial
condition, and suggesting legislation which
I deemed essential to our national welfare
and credit, the anxiety and apprehension
then existing In business circles have con
tinued. As a precaution, therefore, against the
failure of timely legislation, nnd through
congressional action, cautious preparations
havo been pending to etnplo It to the
best possible advnntnge, in default of bet
ter means, such executive authority ns
mny, without additional legislation, be ex
ercised for th purpose of reinforcing nnd
maintaining In our treasury an adequate
and safe gold reserve.
In tne Judgment of those especlall
chatged with this responsibility, tho liusl
nes situation Is so critical and the legis
lative situation so unpromising, with the
omission, thus far. on the part of congtess
to beneficially enl.uge the powers of the
secretary of the treasiir In the premles,
as to enjoin Imuiedl ite executive action
with the facilities now at hand.
Therefore. In pursu mce of section 3,7lO
of the ltpvlst'd Statutes, the details of an
arrangement have this day been concluded
with pit ties abundant! able to fulfill their
undertaking whereby bonds of the Fnlted

for the purchase of gold coin amounting
to a sum sllghtlv in excess of $Ki,lXKlii0
to be delivered to the treasury of the Fnlted
States, vi lilt h sum, added to the gold now
held In our reserve will so rest In such te
serve ns to make It amount to something
more than UIOO.OO) WO Such premium Is to
be allowed to the government upon the
bonds as to fix the rate of interest upon the
amount of gold realized at the rale of
1"i per cent pet annum. At least one-half
of the gold to l, obtained Is tn be supplied
from abinicl, which Is a veiy Impoitant
and fivm-ible fiatuie of the transaction

wc could take each one of you
through the immense stock and
give you an idea of the many

these fabrics one by one be

some of the rich new weaves in
designs far too complex and
intricate to be described and

the dainty Silks for tea gowns,
woven in India and delayed in
France just long enough to
catch the exquisite tints and
printings which make them so
much sought after; the printed
China Silks, showing all sort3
of odd notions of the Celestial;
the Faille Francaisc, rich ap
pearing and made for wear
for skirts to be worn with the
new fancy waists; the new
strikingly fancy weaves for
the new ' "sts to be worn
with the 1 ick skirts; a hun
