held both hands aloft, then, allowing his

again and again with other objects, tie

0Ene sf the attractive fancies a the past
Il or two seasons has been the furnish
ing Of little illustrated cards 10 guests at
dinner parties, which are intended toaerVe
as pleasing mementoes Of the occasion.
Sometimes, in the case Of very important
social occasions, those souvenirs are very
elaborate, and It was. regarded as very
swell when they consisted Of hand painted
palettes, menus and the like.
The manufacture Of cards for this pur
pose has now become q regular trade, ana
they are frequently so elaborate and taste
fui in design and so neat inexecutiOn that
they win answer for occasions for which
in former seasons IL was necessary to pre-
pare q full set cf cards to order. Another
thing, they can be obtained at a very rea-
sonable price, and thus a considerable OBJ
stacie ia the form Of expense IS overcome.
They are not made by machine OF print
ing process, but the illustration which the
heavy cardboard bears is drawn by a skill
full artist either IN pen and ink, represent
ing some humorous or comical portrait or
scene, or in delicate water coiors, repre-
senting q little landscape. No two Of
these are made alike now by the best
manufacturers, for Il Is not difficult for a
skilful artist to vary th7Tn indefinitely,
but when they come into general use II Is
not improbable that very cheap assort-
naents viii be placed 0 % the market, and
IN order to make these, ~lithographipg and
printing wiz have 10 be called into requi-
sition.-New York Evening World.

WASHINGTON, April BIN the senate
the resolutions heretofore offered by Mr..
Riddleberger, to suspend SO much of the
rules IS provide for executive sessions
during the fisheries treaty, was taken up.
He called for the yeas and nays on agree
ing 70 the resolution.
Mr.. Edmunds said that as the question
on agreeing to the resolution, he de-
sired to submit some observations to the
senate, which he did not care to submit
to her majesty's ministers just at present.
He therefore moved that the gallery be
cleared and the doors closed.
The motion was agreed to and the order
at / o'clock was executed.
The senate at 5:30,after two hours spent
in secret Legislative session, opened its
doors.
Senators Edmunis and Hoar made a
strong fight against Riddleberger's reso-
luton which was ordered to be referred
to the committee on foreign relations,
only eight senators voting in the mega
tive.
The senate then resumed consideration
of the bond bill. A vote was taken on
Mr.. Palmer's motion to r"oommit the
bond purchase bill, and the motion was
rejected-nays 90, yeas 81.
Mr.. Spooner offered as a sub
stitute for the whole bill the
following: That the section of the act
making appropriations for the sundry
civil expenses of the government for the
year ending June 80, 1882, in these words,
HThat the secretary Of the treasury may
at any time apply the surplus money in
the treasury not otherwise appropriated or
so much thereof as he may consider prop
er, for the purchase Of redemption of
United States bonds, provided that the
bonds so purchased shall constitute no
part of the sinking fund but shall be cam
ceIled,n was intended 70 be a permanent
provision of the law and the same is here
by declared to have been since its enact
ment and 70 be now in full force and
effect.
The substitute was agreed to without a
division.
Mr.. Beck then offered an amendment
as an additional section, providing
that whenever tine circulation or
any portion thereof of any bank
notes in liquidation shall be surrendered
and shall not be taken by other national
banks, she secretary of the treasury shall
purchase az the market price an equiva-
lent amount Of silver bullion In excess Of
the minimum monthly silver coinage, which
shall he coined and used as provided for
In the silver coinage bill of the 2Sth Of
February, 1878.
Mr.. Stewart proposed an addition TO the
amendmantSand Mr.. Beck accepted 1t,
providing that nothing in the act shall al
ter or repeal the silver coinage act of
1873.
Mr.. Sherman approved fully of the
substitute as agreed on and thought it an
Improvement on the house bill.
At this stage of the discussion and with
out action on the amendment offered by
Mr.. Beck and with the substitute for the
bin still to be reported from the commit
tee Of the whole. the senate adjourned.

Hand In the strike.
CHICAGO, April Burlington officials
announced this afternoon that another
general advance would be made by them
tomorrow-the delivery Of cars to a large
number Of roads would be attempted and a
final struggle in the great strike would IN
all likelihood take place. At police
headquarters special officers were beinE
sworn ii all day from reserve lists Of the
department. Five or six switches are the
key TO the situation. As these are spliced
or spiked the @ cannot deliver cars to
those roads and all the kings horses and
all the kings men would be powerless to
get a train through. There is. imminent
danger and that the @ people evidently
fear. The switches of the Rock Island
yards, connecting with the Burlington
tracks, are locked and securely spiked so
that no @ cars can be run into the Rock
Island yards. The officials of the st.
Paul road discovered today that the
switches connecting with the Northwest
ern tracks at Western avenue, whereby all
freight is transferred from one road to
another, had been spiked during the
night.

A RIg Meeting.

CHICAGO, April 3.-Five thousand dele
gates, representing the engineers, fremen
and switehmen Of all the roads leading
to Chicago, held a meeting this afternoon
to discuss the strike situation. General
Manager Jeffrey Of. the Illinois Central

it was resolved that the men Of each road
be allowed to use their own judgment on
all questions growing out of the strike.
This was considered a virtual endorse
ment Of the Michigan Central mems ac-
ton in returning TO work today. Tele-
grams passed today between the Fort
Wayne strikers and Supt. McCrea, which
promised a speedy termination of the
troubles on that road.

PARIs, April S.-Ia the chamber of dep
uties this morning ii. Floquet read a
statement setting forth the policy that
would be pursued by his cabinet. He APP
pealed to the Iunited republican sections
for their support and asked them to leave
to the government the question Of the re-
vision of the constitution. The question
of the revision demands calm reflection.
Those members of the cabinet who are
The warmest advocates of revision would
not wish that q work of this Importance, a
work that Is destined 70 a place in our POI
litical organization In complete harmony
with republican principles, SHOULD be be-
gun under conditions that would endan-
ger the attainment OF the end in view.
The new organization Of the National
forces will enable US TO secure the respect
that is due TO France and TO guarantee
the peace which we are sincerely DESTROYS
of preserving. We shall thus prepare at
home and abroad under favorable eondi-
lions for the solemn celebration in 1889 Of
the centennial of the revolution. At the
close of M. Floquet's speech the chamber
adjourned but consequently reconvened
to elect a president of the chamber. The

A CRANK from New YORK.

WASHINGTON, April 3-Mr. David
Evans, of Waverly Place, New York,
wants the senate to order the secretary Of
war TO send two cavalry regiments to Chi
eago. In his petition he asks: Is it not
time the government of this country
wakes up 70 the fact that q set of radicals
in Illinois and Iowa are trying to destroy
the great railway interests, representing
over $25, 0Q0,0O0,000 Of property, or about
one-third of the wealth of the country,
and using their threats and missiles TO
block the wheels of commerce.

Every part OF the despised dress coat

The apparently foolish nick or slit Rt the
junction of the collar and facings on each

toned closely over to meet the severity o.

which adorn the small Of one's back
are mere vain ornament. In 0bost the
year 1900 it began TO be the custom to
gather in at the waist the sack liEe cost
of the period. This was done BY tw0
buttons sown on over the hips, which
were attached to loops set on at the edge
Of the coat. Then, es waists became d
permanent fashion the loops were disused
and the buttons, instead Of being dis
carded, sgere simply moved d little farther
back; here they attached ia d new usefui

that sword beltsnre no longer wcsn, these
two buttons seem merely q meaningless
excrescence. The very shape 81 the dress

often ridiculed, Is not an arbitrary fashion,
but a natural development.

in the west. il IS practically identical
with that introduced BY Mr.. Anderson, Of
Kentucky, which was referred to the
common rules and is still before that com.
mittee, the only change of consequence
being the omission of the Atchison, To-
peka & Santa Fe railway, where the
strike has ended. The speaker was au-
