Dear Sir:—We had the value of Tur SrTaR as an advertising medium brought very con- spicnously to our attention last evening. Within sixty minutes from the time the boys were calling the papers on the street we were having numerous calls for an article we did not know we had in stock. A reference to our ad- vertisement ehowed that the types had an- nounced a special sale of pantaloons at $2.40. The price was an error. Simply to satisfy our- selves we kept acareful account, and at 60’clock, when we closed, we had had over fifty calls for these pantaloons, in every case the advertised price being mentioned. We are very willing to charge up the loss we sustain in consequence of ‘the error to advertising, and ulso to continue the sale to its completion at the price Tux Stan put it—for it has established most emphatically the value of your columns asa channel through which to reach the people. Very truly yours, Saxs anv Company.

Diaz in Cuba. ——_— A SUBSTITUTE RESOLUTION OFFERED. —_—-_— SENATE, The Senate met at 11 a.m. The Senate bill releasing the right, title and interest of the United States in the parcel of land known as the Cuariel lot, in Monterey, Cal., was reported and placed on the calendar, THE INDIAN APPROPRIATION BILL. The consideration of the Indian appropria- tion bill was resumed. A paragraph appropriating $8,000 to Indians in Minnesota (full and mixed blood) heretofore belonging to the Medawakauton band of Sioux Indians, and who have severed their tribal re- lations, gave rise to a discussion, in the course of which Mr, Dawes gave an interesting history of these Indians. They bad given notice to the whites of the intended Sioux massacre in Min- nesota in 1862, and had aided in protecting the white women and children on that occasion. They had then separated from the hos- tile Sioux, who had peen, to the num- ber of 25,000, located by Gen, Harney and others in a territory comprising 41,000 squzre miles, and, where it was then thought, they would be forever remote from white set= tlement. Not an acre of that immense area was to be parted with by the Indians, except with the consent of three-fourths of all the bands. And yet, within fifteen years thereafter, they had ‘been surrounded” by civilization and crowded and pressed, until it had become _evi- dent that that vast domain had to be cut down to more moderate dimensions. But that had involved the necessity of getting the consent of all of the bands—of some of them four or five hundred miles apart. In that attempt four or five years had been consumed. Commissions und committees of the Senate had gone out there for the purpose of | negotiatin, with the Sioux. A fair and honest plan hui been submitted to the bunds aud voted down because it proposed to pay them only 50 cents an acre for their land, Finally an agreement had been made that they were to receive $1.25 for their lands, This constituted a very jarge fund, which is now held for them in the Treas- ury and is to be used in the best way to elevate and educate them. A proposition was made by Mr. Teller that the Indians who had severed their tribal rela- tions, and for whom the proposed appropria- tion was intended, should be paid out of the fund held for the Sioux, but Mr. Dawes and Mr. Davis argued that that could not be done and Mr. Teller withdrew the proposition, IMPRIGONMENT OF A. 3. DIAZ IN CUBA. The discussiun was temporarily suspended and Mr. Morgan. from the committee on foreign relations, reported a substitute for a resolution heretofore offered by Mr. Pasco, The substitute wasread and agreed to as follows: Resolved, That the President be, and hereby is, respectfully requested (af not incom- patible with the pubiic interest) to communi- cate to the Senate any information in his pos- session touching the alleged arrest and impris- onment of A.J. Diaz by the authorities of Cuba, and what action, if any, Las been taken in respect thereto. After further discussion the paragraph was somewhat modified and was then agreed to. THE PUYALLUP RESERVATION, An amendment ‘having been reported for the appointment by the President of a commis- sion of three persons to visit the Puyallup reservation, in the state of Washington, to make full inquiry and investigation regarding such reservation, whether the power of alie: tion by the Indians should be removed, whether railroads should be granteda right of way through the reservation, and as to the wisdom | or necessity of the disposal of the Indiaus of | their interest, Mr. Dawes made a long state- ment in regard to it. Mr. Mitchell moved to amend the amend- ment by requiring the same commission to visit the Warm Springs revervation in Cregon and to fix the northern boundary thereof. Mr. Dawes said he would consent to an inde- endent item for a separate commission to the Warm Springs reservation, and Mr. Mitchell accordingly withdrew his proposition and said he would offer it as a distinct «mcndment, ‘The Puyallup commission aimendment was agreed to. IMPORTANT NOMINATIONS, Ministers Raised to Envoys Extraordi- nary and Ministers Plenipotentiary. The President today sent the following nomi- nations to the Senate: To be envoys extraordinary and ministers plenipotentiary of the United States, pursuant to act of Congress approved July 14, 1890: Thos. H. Anderson of Ohio, (new minister resident and consul general at La az) to Bo- livia, Clark E. Carr of Illinois (now minister resi- dent and consul general at Copenhagen), to Denmark. John D. Washburn of Massachusetts (now minister resident and consul general at Berne), to Switzerland. John L, Stevens of Maine (now minister resi- dent at Honolulu), to the Hawaiian Islands, Geo, Mancy of Tennessee (now minister resi- dent at Montevideo), to Paraguay and Uruguay. Revenue service.—Second Lieut. John Mor- iasey to be first lieutenant; Third Lieut, Jas, H. Brown to be second lieutenant, First Lieuts; Jos. F. Huston, second infantry, Willis Wittich, twenty-first infanwy, and Or- lando L. Wieting, twenty-third infantry, to be captains; Second Lieuts. Rowland G. Hiil, twentieth infantry, and Wm. H. Allaire, twenty-third infantry, to be first lieutenante, HOUSE, Mr. Lacey (Iowa) submitted the report of the committee on elections in the West Vir- ginia contested election case of McGinnis versus Alderson. The report, which finds in favor of the contestant, was ordered and printed and laid over. Mr. Conger (Iowa), from the committee on coinage, weights and measures, reported back the resolution calling on the Secretary of the Treasury for information as to why trade dol- lars held in the Treasury as assets have not been coined as required by law. THE BANKRUPTCY BILL. Discussion of the bankruptcy bill was then resumed, Mr. Abbott (Texas) criticised the measure in many of its provisions. He would approve of @ bankruptcy bill which would do "Fistice to the honest debtor and which would protect the honest creditor it the dishonest debtor, This the pending bill did not do. It wasa measure in the interest of the dtedivor class, which placed He was oj d to system the debtor absolutely at the mercy of Mr. Frank (Mo.) dwelt upon the im; of tho pending lcxilation othe, business ig- terests of the country. The bankrupts should be manded and prayed for the adoption of the measure, OPROSED 7O THE BILL. Mr. McCord (Wis.) asserted that the bill was not demanded by any considerable number of people, nor was it in the interest of any con- siderable number of people. It was bill in the interest of two classes—the one being the wholesale dealers and the other the United States marshals, attorneys and court officers, professional receivers and lawyers, who would enriched by the .operation of the law. It was un-American, unrepublican, unnecessary and uncalled for, and it would work an abso- lute injury everywhere, A HARMONIOUS SYSTEM NEEDED, Mr. Perkins (Kan.) thought the main feat- tures of the bill were right and equitable— right in theory and equitable in legisla- tion. Necessarily in a country like this— composed of forty-four states—state leg- islation on the subject must be varied and diversified. In one state was one system, in another an entirely different system, So that merchants doing business in the large commercial cities found that in one state they had to call into requisition certain legislative provisions, while in another state an entirely different remedy was provided. Commerce was in fact but legitimate speculation, At times misfortune prostrated many engaged in it, and it was necessary that there should be national legislation on the mabjont of bankruptcy. The bill had been formuMted with care. It had been framed to give to the unfortunate debtor the protection and assistance that should be given him by a bankruptcy law, and at the same time it gave to the creditor a just and Vr cies remedy and one attended with as little expense as possible. It was for- minimum of cost; and that was the theory upon which a baukruptcy bill should be drawn. — coe SENTENCES COMMUTED. One of the Favored Prisoners a Dis- trict Man. The President has commuted to four m onths actual imprisonment the sentence imposed in the case of James E. Lankford, convicted in Indiana of violating the postal laws. He also commuted to eighteen months’ actual imprisonment the three years’ sentence im- posed in the case of George W. Taylor alias Carter, convicted in the District of Columbia of bigamy. He denied the application for pardon in the case of W. W. Wyman, convicted in California of sending obscene matter through the mails, THE FREE SUGAR PROPOSITION. What Members of the Ways and Means Committee Say of Mr. Blaine’s Plan. Some of the republicans of the House who | are displeased at Mr. Blaine because of his suggestions as to reciprocity with Spanish- American states complair that he did not treat the ways and means committee fairly. They say that he never said anything to that committee about any prospect, even idea of spoke only of the lic. The Argentine Republic, they say, produces but about one-cleventh part of the sugar we consume, and free sugar from there only would be like free sugar from the Sandwich Islands—it would benefit only a few persons who bought up the crop and give no cheaper sugar to the consumers. ‘The committee, they say, did not take kindly to this proposition, though they might have thought differently of a reciprocity plan that would admit ail the sugar we need free of duty. But not, they claim, until after the billhad passed the House and been reported by the finance committee to the Sen- ate did he say anything about a trade on sugar affecting Cuba, FREE WOOL AS WELL AS FREE SUGAR. “The logic of reciprocity with the Spanish American states as to sugar is reciprocity as to wool,” said a prominent republican Represent- ative to a Star reporter, “What Mr. Blaine wants is to get a free mar- ket inthe southern republics for the cotton manufacturers of New England in exchange for the free admission ot their wool into this country. New England would get the benefit }of both sides of this trade. The free admission of wool would give a free raw mate- rial to New England manufacturers, as well as open the Spauisb-American markets to the cot- ton manufacturers. It is this mgre than sugar that interests Mr. Biaine. THE BLAINE PROGRAM, What ts Suld of the President’s Position in Regard to It. hope or reciprocity with Cuba, but Argentine Repub- | | The paragraph published this morning ina New York newspaper to the effect that the President is preparing to send to Congress an unequivocal indorsement of the Biasine re- ciprocity proposition is received with some grains of allowance in congressional circles, The more likely statement of the case is thought to be that he is thinking of strengthening in some open way the Pierce | amendment to the tariff bill, to which refer- ence has already been made in Tue Stan. He is known to be in sympathy with the object of that amendment, and to desire its adoption by Congress. An objection made to the Biaine program in Zits entirety w that it designs admitting Australian wool free into this country. That, the wool men in Ohio and elsewhere declare. would completely destroy the wooi industry in this country, and wool, unlike sugar, has many friends in states necessary to Tepublican success. ‘Lhe President, therefore, halts at wool. He feels, it is said, that the loss of Obio in the coming campaign would be a blow from which his party would have difficulty in recoverin, in time for the national campaign in 1892 an that any policy even squinting at free wool would so resuit to the party there he has assur- ances from many sources, yan fat the explanation now given of Mr. cKinley’s opposition to the Blaine program is | that he saw that it embodied free woolen pro- | ram upon which he, as an Ohio Representa- tive, could not afford to stand for a single moment of time. ——_.+_____ CAPITOL COMMITTEE ,WORK. The Chalmers-Morgan Contest—Other Matters of Interest. The Chalmers-Morgan contested election case is on the slate to come up in the House to- morrow after the vote is taken on the bank- ruptcy bill. The report of the committee is unanimously against Gen.Chalmers, the repub- lican contestant, and he will make a speech in his own defense. PUBLIC BUILDINGS. Favorable reports have been ordered by the House committee on pubiic buildings on bilis authorizing the erection of public buildings at Leesburg, Va., and Greensburg, Pa, at a cost of $5,000 in each case, Paw ee mulated to secure a maximum of benefit with a ASHES ON THE BRINE.
