We are not Sateen crazy,
either-all the same, it's the
biggest demoralization on
French Sateens you ever saw.
"How can we do it ?" Sell
the finest French Sateens,
that the largest cities are yet
stiff on at size, for the
unheard.of price of Io cents?
No matter, you are not inter
ested in trade explanations,
that concerns us-you want
the facts and they are right
here. French Sateens reduced
from 371l cents to 10 cents,
and we believe you are max

ADJOURNMENT AFAR OFF.
The Democratic Members of the Hove
 Caucus In Vain.

Caucus In Vain.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-At the Democratic caucus last night MT. Oates, of Alabama, offered resolution authorizing the speaks$ of the house and the presiding officer of the senate to declare both houses adjourned at noon on Oct. l. MT. Oates said that he thought it would be good policy to adopt the resolution, as the responsibility for the faf@ ure to reduce surplus taxation would be thrown upon the senate.
 MT. Townshend, of Illinois, moved to amend so as to adjourn Sept, 27. The senate might then amend by naming Oct. 1.
 Mir. Springer offered an amendment pro viding that after Saturday next all leaves of absence asked for be granted, and meantime that no business be transacted save the read ing of the journal If the senate passed g tariff bill leaves of absence should be re- called. He was opposed to the Oates resolu- tion. If he was Republican member of ttS house he would go down on his knees for the passage of the resolution.
 Mir. Sowden, of Pennsylvania said that ap the propositions should be voted down, as they would prove injurious to the party.
 Mir. Mckinney, of New Hampshire. thought it would be suicidal for the Demo crats to propose an adjournment
 Many other members spoke for and againss the resolution. Finally MT, Whitehorne, of Tennessee, moved that the caucus adjourn for one week
 Mir Holman moved that the caucus ad- journ without day, and this was carried

STARVING IN LABRADOR.
Terrible Stories of Destltution Among the
 Fishermen.


 OTTAWA, Ont, Sept. 19.-Adviees received here from Labrador draw a sorrowful picture of the suffering prevailing there among the starving fishermen. The fisheries of the past season have at many points proved almost a total failure. Many of the fishermen and their helpless families are begging to be re- moved before winter sets in, as they must starve to death before spring, if relief is not sent to them.
 Deprived of the necessaries of life, sickness has set in among the children, and, i'll the absence of medicine and proper nourishment, many have succumbed.
 A gentleman who has just returned from the Labrador coast says he never again wishes to witness such a state of gradual starvation as he saw among the poor fishing families there. The emaciated mothers had gone days without food, vainly trying to nourish their infants. He knew of family who for days had subsisted on nothing but dog flesh and a little flour. He says that unless relief is soon sent there must be many deaths from starva- tion.
 An effort is making to induce the Domin- ion government to send steamer at once with medicines and supplies, and to bring away such families as are disposed to leave.
