WHAT RELkNAP TOLD.
The Secretary Of War Rises 70 ExrlalB. ID
RefsFepee to ths Sale Of Arms TO
the FFesoh GoYeFnmeHt.

WAsHINToN, February 20. - An
nexed Is an extract from the testi-
mOny Of General Belknap, secretary
Of war, given before the committee Of
investigation on the subject of sales Of
arms to the French:
General Bslknsp repeated over and
over again to General Dyer that no
sales should be made to any agent Of
the French or Prussian governments,
and no arms were sold TO any agent
of the French government. He
had already stated that the amount
realized from the slles Of arms ETC.,
was So, 74s, ,942, OF this sum So, 409,- :
236 88 had been deposited in the treas
ury as per certificates on file, $120, 600
was reported in the hands of deposit
tors on the 30th of June 1871, and the
balance was expended for preparing
stores for their sale and fitting them
up. In reply to a question by the
chairman to the discrepancies be,
tween the war and treasury depart.
ment, Secretary BeIknap said he was
not aware Of any.
The close of the fiscal year of the
war department was the same as that
of the treasury department, namely
the Both of June. As to the treasury
books showing the amounts received
for arms, Mr.. Belknap explained that
made by cash checks. Margins, va
rying from five to twenty per cent,
are required on large transactions to
secure for the United States, and
checks are cashed as quickly as posi-
bic, and paid into the hands OF the
government agents.
The interrogatoEy was put:
Do you know Of your own knOWl-
edge that any government officers are
interested in the sale Of arms directly
or otherwise?
Answer Il do not.
A very strong statement or intima-
tion in connection with this matter
was made to me by the Marquis de
Chambrun on the 10th of January
last. l asked him to name the per-
sons, and then we went together into
q private room when / again asked
him to name such persons or make q
statement over his signature, or any
statement by which | could convict of
fraud any one of these officers or
other persons connected with the
government. He did not, so kept a
memorandum of the statement that
he did make to me, but it contains
nothing from which 1 can obtain in
formation relative to any officer OF
this government. | begged him to
give me specific information, but be
had none. Our conversation went
further, but got nothing bearing on
this point. The Chairman said ne
had invited Senator Sumner = ap
pear and give any facts he mighs re
to offer, but he had not come forwa1
In order further to arrange for the ex
and to obtain official state
ments, which the Secretary indicated
his readiness to furnish, being desir-
Gus that the investigation shall be
the committee adjourned
until next Tuesday week.

SPRING STYLES.
There is q rumor Of three over
skirts, but we have no information
which cOrrOborates it. In costume
Just finished for spring wear, the over
skirt does not differ materially from
the skirts which have been worn dur
ing the past season. II has the apron
'front.' and Is looped very high at the
sides under wide bands Of the mate
rial; the back, which is full and very
long, is boutfant by an elastic; 1t
closes upon the left side with hooks
and eyes, which are placed under the
bands. 1t is cut on the bottom in cas-
tellated scolIops, a velvet button the
color of the silk ornanaentiDg every
scollop. Avery wide fiounce cut and
ornamented in the same manner
trims the lower skirt, which just
clears the ground.
LATEST STYLES IN JEwELRY.
A fashionable caprice is to wear
three or four bracelets on each arm.
This barbaric fancy is seen, of course,
only in evening toilette, and it is
probable that the cost will prevent its
being followed to any extent. Two
bracelets connected by a chain are
worn, one just above the elbow, the
other upon t \ wrist; it is also a
Whim which, is to be hoped, will have
but q short existence. We have been
asked whether it Is true that eardrops
connected by chain or necklace are
also to be adopted. 1t Is possible that
there may be an effort made by some
person or Dc ,sons TO introduce this
beathenish fashion, and, If successful,
the fact that it viii either tear the
ears or drag them down out OF all
shape will have but little effect.
SHELL JEwELRY.
Handsome sets of tortoise-shell are
selected for general wear. Almost
every ornament which is worn In
gold Is made in shell. We have ear
drops and brooches, necklaces, chate'
LANES and pendants, bracelets and
| sleeve. buttons. L0cketsI and brooches
are cut in cameo, and exhibit as care.
/ ful workmanship IS is seen upon tht
popular stones. The eardrops show
/ various. designs, and the necklaces gen
orally Initiate the favorAte gold neck
laces.
