THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, JANUARY 14, 1898-16 PAGES. Se TP CUTS 6 ane A Flood of Big Bargains. The continued and ever-increasing success of the old reliable KING’S PALACE has made it incumbent upon us now after thirty years of gratifying catering to the public needs, to enlarge our business sphere and increase our trade importance. We are about to add many | important stocks of goods, and will convert this vast establishment into the largest department ' store on 7th street. ~ Many changes will be made in the store. The entire front is to be torn down and rebuilt on new plans, which will give us a magnificent 7th street entrance, and the entire interior of | the store is to be remodeled. But we must first reduce our stock so as to have it occupy as lit-” tle space as possible while alterations are being made. To accomplish this purpose we shall | quote prices such as have never been known before. These unheard-of values will bear testimony to the wonderful bargains at your disposal: $4, $5 and $6 Jackets, $1.98. | A magnificent lot of Kersey, Beaver and Dy -98 among them.

The Provision Retained in the Agri- cultural Appropriation Bi In the House of Representatives yester- day afternoon the agricultural appropri tion bill reached completion in committee of the whole. The day was marked by the annual fight over the question of free seed distribution to the farmers, but the effort to strike out the appropriation (130,000) failed, as usual, the majority against it being One of the important amend- ments adopted provided for the inspection of horse meat for export purposes in the same way that the meat of cattle and other animals is now inspected. There was a lively row over a motion to to cost $105,000, Chairman Wadsworth and members of the appropriations committe: resisted it, but it was carried over their a narrow margin in committee of whole. In the House, however, they succeeded in carrying a motion to adjourn, which leaves the fate of the amendment still in doubt. = ees CONSULAR DIPLOMATIC BILL. It Follows in General the Previous Measure. ‘The foreign affairs committee has report- ed the consular and diplomatic bill to the House. It appropriates $1,729,008. It fol- lows in general the last appropriation bill, increasing, however, the item for contin- gent expenses of foreign missions by $ 000, and increasing by $20,000 tne item for emergencies in service and to extend the interests of the country. At Dawson City, British North America, the heart of the present gold boom, a consulate is proposed on account of the large influx of Ameri- cans into the region and $3,000 is appro- priated for its establishment. The consulate at Vancouver, British Co- lumbia, now $1,500, is proposed to be raised to $2,000 because of its large and growing business. Pretoria, South Africa Republic, which gets an item of $2,000, is a proposed new consulate. The city is the capital of the Transvaal, and near Johannesburz, where many Americans are now engaged in mining and other enterprises. The Ameri- can interests and residences are growing rapidly there. Another proposed new consulate is Tam- sui, on the Island of Formosa, recent transferred to Japan, since which tran: fer, Chairman Hitt reports, the trade of the island has shown rapid development, and there is every indication that it will increase still more. The Secretary of State recommends that Congress provide an offi- cer to protect our growing interests, and $1,500 is appropriated by the bill. IN THE COMMITTEES. Consideration of Various Mensures of Interest. The Heuse committee on Indian affairs has refused to strike out of the Indian appropriation bill the item providing for the maintenance of the board of Indian commissioners. A motion that the interstate commerce commission should fix the rates to be charg- ed by the railreads for the interstate transportation of goods purchased by the goverrment for the use of the Indians was Cefeeted. Senator McMillan, from the committee on naval affairs, yesterday favorably re- ported a bill, for the construction on the great lakes of a gunboat, to cost not ex- ceeding $260,000, exclusive of armament, the vessel to take the place of the steam- ship Michigan, now on duty on the lakes: ‘The committee recommends the passage of the bill, with the distinct understanding that the substitution of the new vessel for the Michigan raises no new question of | international bearirg. The House committee on rivers and har- bors has decided to visit a number of points in Florida to investigate the needs of navigation. ‘The Senate committee on commerce yes- terday granted a hearing to a delegation which is here seeking to have Congress authorize a survey of the Southwest pass of the Mississippi, with a view to ultimate- ly vsing it instead of the South pass, as at present. The same delegation was heard by the House committee on rivers and harbors. The Senate committee on commerce has authorized a favorable report upon the bill compelling the importers of abandoned guods to deposit them in designated. places and also upon the bill requiring mates of inland steamers to be licensed. ——— Charles Linehart, right guard of the La- fayette, Pa., foot ball team, has been in a divorce suit.
