upon it that will bring joy and profit to
intending buyers.
Everybody knows the kind and grades
of clothing carried by ia. Godfrey & Co,
it was of superior quality, and of the
choicest styles and patterns and in fit I'M
surpassed.
We state it as FACT and defy contra
diction, that no such stock of clothing,

cred, has ever been offered to the people
of this vicinity, for the prices it will be
sold for.
We are about to engage in the Clothing

top1NA ~ TIE NkC5asi
WASHINGTON, December O-ROger o. Mills
Is Very sore man. Mills takes his defeat for
the speakeFship very much to heart ana he Is
sulklDg in his tent. olar he has not been In
vited by the new speaker to accept the chair
manship OF the ways and means cImmittee and
he has not been near Judge Crisp since Clerk
Mcpherson, as a refinement Of cruelty, appoint
ed Mr.. Mills a member OF the committee 10 es-
cort the new speaker TO the chair. UnofieIally,
Mr.. Mills has told some OF his friends, who have
repeated It with considerable pleasure, that he
may not accept the chairmanship Il it Is offered
to him. and. before ne does. he viii want to
know who his associates will be and whether
the committee will be packed against him so
that no tariff bill can be reported from the com
mittee TO the House.
The fact OF the matter Il. The Democrats are
as usual divided on the course to be followed IN
this Congress In regard TO the tariff. Mr.. Mills
thinks the only proper thing To do Is TO frame
another tariff bill and sent Ii over to the Senate
allowing 1t to meet It's fate there ON tho other
hand, Mr.. Springer and soms OF the other
leaders" oppose this course and favor the
passage Of separate bills attacking the Mckinley
bill in detail. Mr. Crisp and his lleutenants win
discuss this matter and on their decision will
depend the Democratic policy and to some ex-
tent the composition OF the committee. II the
Mills plan Is not approved by Speaker Crlsp,it Is
generally believed that the Texan viii refuse TO
serve on the committee and will take but very
languid interest In the proceedings Of Congress
while Crisp remains its speaker.
1t Is again rumoTed here that SIR. Blaine Will
before long write letter declining to be can
didate before the Minneapolis convention. ku-
NOR mas Il that Mr.. Blaine Il trying TO have tho
President appoint stephen b. klkias secretary
Of war and that the President has intimatsd
that he will do so In case Mr.. Blaine takes HIM
self out OF The race. Mr.. Eikins Is now here and
the President and Mr.. Blaine had a long confer
ence al the White House M0nday night This
Is ali that Is known but the gossip about Mr..
Blaine and bis intentions continues increasingly
The day 10 Cougress was devoted to the read

Dom PedrO's Imposing
Funeral.

VALPARAISO, December 9.-The substance
of President HarrIson's statements of Gillian
affairs was received today, aud is the subject
of universal comment. 1t is regarded by
Chilians as decidedly menaciug rupture be-
tween the two countries, as it is not believed
the Gillian government will consent either to
an apology or any material indemnity. 1t is no
secret that the government is proceeding
actively with war-like preparations in anticipa.
tion Of hostilities possibly with other powers
and probably with the United States The
situation is complicated by Spain's demand for
large indemnity. The Chillans always dis
liked the Spaniards and this hatred is quickened
by this demand, which the Chilians say is pre-
sented now TO take advantage of their existing
dihicultles. The general sentiment indicates
that they would challenge Spain If they had no
United States to des< with. An American Off.
gal expires ed an opinion TO-DAY that the
Chilians might conclude to settle with America
In order to defy the Spaniards.
