His Position at Washington Will Be Filled by Francis B. Loomis. - WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.—Dr. David Jayne Hill, First Assistant Secretary of State, will relinquish that post this month to become United State Minister to Switzerland. He will be succeeded as first assistant by Francis B. Loomis, at present United States Minister to Por- tugal. Loomis will be succeeded at Lis- bon by Charles Page Bryan, who has been confirmed as Minister to Switzer- land, but who has Yever assumed that post. Dr. Hill has held the office -of Assistant Secretary of State for a longer time than any of his twenty-four predecessors In that office excepting Seward, and during a perfod of unugu('\l diplomatic activity which re- quired his close attention to the busi- ness of the department. The assignment to Switzerland is understood to be pleas- ing to him, not only for personal and family reasons, his children being at present at school in Lausanne, but be- cause the post affords excellent oppor- | tunities for the presecution of certain special work in which he is deeply in- terested. Dr. Hill does not expect to leave his post here for several weeks, and when he does he will do so with the regret of Secretary Hay and his col- leagues, for he has, us the Secretary frely admits, been of almost inestimable service to the department during the momentous happenings of the last four years, owing to his profound knowledge of diplomacy as a profession. The change was made possible in con- sequence of the extensive diplomatic revolution that took place last Septem- ber. Bryan, then Minister to Brazil, was named as Minister to Switzerland, and Arthur 8. Hardy, then Minister to witzerlind, was made Minister to in, to succeed Belamy Storer, trans- ferred to be Embassador at St. Peters- burg, in place of Mr. Tower, who went signed. few day. Hardy sailed from New York a ago for Switzerland to present and when that is done he will goyto Madrid, according to the original programme. Bryan, al- though appointed and confirmed to be United States Minister to Switzerland, has never yet been able to occupy that post and will not, of course, do S0 now. He is in this country and wil go thence directly to Lisbon to fill Loomis’ place.

W., WASHING?ON, Jan. 5.—That part of | % for | been the naval appropriation bill providi an increase of ships has already framed and will be adopted at the meet- ing of the House Committee on Naval Affairs to-morrow, or at least before the week js ended. The House committee, listening to the wishes of the administration, has provid- ed a substitute and satisfactory addition. The bill will carry an authorization for | two battleships of the larger type, two armored crulsers, two training ships and a small btig for training the young- of the navy—altogether gseven ships, four of which are to take their places in the fighting line. The limit | of cost on the two training ships has been placed at $370,000 each. The brig will cost but $50,000. Although the section has not yet been completed, another provision of the bill practically agreed upon is for an increase in personnel corresponding with the growth of the navy. This will provide for doubling the number of cadets at the Naval Academy. Shouvld the House in- crease be adopted by the Senate, as was done at the last session, the fifty-seventh Congress will make a record In the mat- ter of building up the navy. SPECIAL POLICEMAN IS DISMISSED FROM SERVICE John T. Johnson Accused of Theft and Commissioners Deprive . Him of His Star. John T. Johnson, a special policeman, whose beat lies in the Potrero district, was dismissed from the force by the Po- lice Commissioners last night. Johnson was arrested vesterday afternoon by De- tective Ryan and charged with petty lar- ceny. He is accused of having stolen a bottle of whisky from a Third-street liquor store, and the Commissioners thought this sufficient reason for depriv- ing Johnson of his star. Johnson entered Levi's liquor store on Third street yesterday afternoon in com- pany with Thomas McCall. The pair or- dered drinks and Johnson, it is said, put two bottles of whisky under his coat and left the place. When Johnson reached the sidewalk one of the bottles, it is claimed, fell and thus attracted the attention of the bartender. Johnson, it is said, offered to pay for the whisky, but Ryan, in the meantime. arrived on the scene and placed both Johnson and McCall under arrest. Me- Call was also talen into custody, but has not yet been charged. ————— An apparatus for condensing sea foz into_drinking water has been invented by Prof. Bell.

We tell them the facts just as enumerated herewith: A considerable cost in clothes is the material. When we reduce this cost we necessarily can afford to give the.cus- tomer the benefit. We buy all our cloth in large quantties direct from the milli—buy for our whole.ale manufac- turing department, which makes ready-to- wear goods for the trade as well as for our stores in New York and San Francisco; we also buy at the same time for our tailoring stores. Buying large amounts gives us low prices and big dis- count. You can see this ex- emplified in our suits at $18.50 — any style trom several cloths at this price, Also overcoats to measure from various goods at $13.50.
