Royal Extensively Adopted.
The streets OH fine days, like yesterday, are
crowded with people bearing bundles Of more
or less auspicious shape. They are taking the
advice of the Palais Royal, and purchasing
before the rush. Most of them are also taking
advantage Of the very favorable terms offered
TO those buying before the holiday season
really sets in by this house, and get
ting their goods at 10 per cent, discount
from market prices, The principal demand
seems to be for plush goods-.oilet cases, work
boxes, &c, for ladies, and for gentlemen, cases,
with shaving requisites, of plush and alligator
skin. Then those cigar boxes that play time
every time they are opened are lin constant
demand, with numerous purchasers. Mirrors,
too. Of all sizes, with plush frames, are going
off like hot cakes at the astoundingly low
prices marked.
Mr.. Lsner who has been In first.rlte health
since hts recreation trip to Europ', Is In active
md immediate control of his great business,
supervising every detail of each department
in person.
This great establishment contains the largest
stock In variety and quantity ever shown here,
and at prices far below the market rates for
goods Of equal value. Remember for this week
only reduction of 10 per cent. IL made In
order to relieve the pressure of Christmas
week. II is Ia notable fact that persons hitherto
in the habit OF purchasing In other markets
find the extremely low prices prevalent in

TO RELIEVE THE cHEyENNEs.


The President yesterday transmitted to the
House Of Representatives report from the
Secretary Of the Interior upon the condition Of
the Northern Cheyenne Indians upon the Rose.
bud and Tongue rivers IN Montana, the made.
quacy Of the appropriation made for their sup
port, and requesting legislative authority for
the use Of certain funds indicated for their re.
lief.
In transmitting the report the President says
that the proposed legislation docs not involve
any additional appropriation, and the necessity
for the authority requested Is urgent Ho
therefore recommends early and favorable cOu-
sideration OF the subject by Congress-
The report states that from Information re-
cCiNCd from the governor OF Montana and from
an inspector of the department II appears that
the Indians are in dcplOrablo condition,
many Of them almost naked, With the rlgOr Of
winter upon them, and oil Of them suffering for
want of food. There are about 100 OF the In.
dians on the Tongue and Rosebud rivers with.
ont tools. The report states that the sum OF
$50 goo appropriated In the act OF March last
for the relief Of distress among Indians CauuOt
he applied TO the relief Of these indians be-
cause thoy have treaty funds, though totally
inadequate for their proper support.
The Secretary therefore recommends that
Congress authorize the use of sl2OOJ from the
appropriation to meet the pressing emergen.
CICs of this case.
