have said they think Durrant should

Washington, April 23.—The session of
the senate yesterday

a resolution providing that the chief
executive express the sympathy of the
American people to the government of
Greece. The senator declared that the

The debate

aroused Mr. Morgan to a speech of
usual severity. He spoke of "dictator

house of representatives as "the most

Another stirring chapter to the same
subject was added by Mr. Allen, who
proposed a complete cessation of sen
ate business except to consider appro
priation bills until committees
filled. The resolution led to another
heated debate, in which Messrs. Chan
dler, Gear and Allen participated. The
resolution finally went over.
Later In the day the bankruptcy bill
passed by the decisive vote of 49
to 8. The bill passed is the substitute
framed by Mr. Nelson, of Minnesota.
The success of this substitute in dis
placing the committee bill was a great
surprise and disappointment to the ju
diciary committee, which had reported
a comprehensive bill known as the Tor
rey bill. It was regarded as a personal
triumph of Mr. Nelson.
The bill is comparatively brief and
simple compared with the Torrey bill.
The Nelson bill provides that any debt
or other than a corporation owing $200
who is unable to pay his debts
may file his petition in the United
Slates district court, asking for a dis
charge from his debts, and offering to
surrender all his property for the pay

execution and liability for debts. The
petitioner shall attach to his petition a
schedule and list of all his property
exempt and unexempt, and schedule
and list of all his creditors, and the
amount and nature of the debts due
each, and shall offer to surrender all
his unexempt property for the pay
ment of his debts, and shall concludo
with a prayer for a full discharge from
Ills debts liabilities.
The petition shall be heard by the
court not less than 30 or more than 90
days from the time it is filed. If the
court upholds the petition the estate
of the bankrupt is transferred to
assignee for settlement. Creditors
resist the proceedings before tho
court on certain enumerated grounds
of fraud, preference to creditors, etc.

J.J. SMITH'S,
A WORD
To the Representative citizens of Wilmington.
It has always occurred to us that the daily papers furnish the most
available means of reaching the majority of any community.
We feel satisfied that although we have a large trade among those
who wear the better class of Ready-Made-Clothes, there are a great
many persons, who use that sort, and are not aware of the far su
perior quality our clothes possess above ANY OTHERS.
it is true that the space we use herein is not difficult to obtain,and a
statement of this kind will probably strike some as being egotistic,
but Whatever we write in any advestisement, we assure you to be
based upon nothing but facts and the truth.
OUR FIRM
In Baltimore, has enjoyed the reputation of doing the Largest Cloth
ing business in that city for the last thirty to forty years, making
every' garment they sell, and furthermore doing a tremendous
wholesale business in the largest cities of tlie country'.
The clothes we seli are the same, made by the same-{.hands, and un
der the same supervision. Is not the profit we avoid paying there
by a material consideration?
WHATEVER
You wish to pay, we guarantee that anything you buy from us will
be as good or better values for the money, th*m you can buy else
where.
WE ARE
Most careful in the selection of patterns &c., and guarantee ijtiali
ties to be exactly as represented, confirmed by our motto of refund
ing money for any unsatisfactory purchase.
OUR CHILDREN'S DEPARTMENT
Is also superb. VVe have everything that could be asked for in this
department, and at figures that are as !ow or lower than any other
house In the business asks.
