As EAST PARK ST., BUTTE,
Any Suit Or OVercoat For
$500

We make this week a most ex-
traordinary offer and would ad-
wise everybody to take advantage
of it. Our loss is your gain.
While our business has been sat
isfactory we have still on hand
more heavy weight suits and
overcoats than we should have
at this season of the year. We
therefore announce that we will
sell any suit or overcoat we have
in the house for $1,000, no mat
ter how much we asked for them
before, they all go now at the
same price. We do not mean by
that to say we will sell suits or
overcoats formerly sold at SIo
and Sic for SIS. Those articles
you will find are cut deeper than
ever, but everything sold at a
higher price has now been cut to
the uniform price of SIS. We
do not offer any fake discount
and show you the original price
that has been raised 2s per cent
or so per cent, but you can see
for yourself very plainly what
our goods are.

Republican Senators Frantic Over the

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-In the house to-

cnce, bill TO convert United States legal
ise-to.pay into legal tender government
promises 10 receive, and TO restore to
circulation the gold held in the treasury
for the redemption of United States

Repres entative Clunie Of California to-
day introduced bill to place cassiterite
bar, block aud pig iron, coal bituminous
and coal slack. or culm, on the free list.
The action OF the senate IN displacing the
elections bill with the financial bill. was
a complete surprise 10 the friends of the
former measure, and the several republi-
can silver senators who voted for the mo-
ton say II was without prior knowl-
edge on their part. SO far as
can be learned, the arrange
ment 10 displace the elections bill
war not definitely effected until some
time after the senate met though there
had been some consultation prior 10 to-
day on the subject.
IL is understood Stewart and Teller were
the principal movers In the scheme. The
democrats are rejoicing over the dis
placement OF the elections bill and think
il has received its death blow. The tinan-
cial bill must now be displaced by direct
vote, and has a great advantage, hereto
fore occupied by the election bill, il has
the right Of way.
One Of the silver senators said to-day
II had been decided last week 10
bring on the fight this week but Il
was kept quiet and the decision as to
when 20 make the motion and in what
form was no, arrived at until the senate
convened this morning.

Gents Furnishings
CUT TO THO core

AS uniform prices seem to be
the 60 we have taken lines of
underwear sold formerly at S2.5o,
$500 and $500 and cut them to
the uniform price of $500. Just
think of it, all wool regular made
underwear for 81 90 per suit.
These goods we're formerly sold
at $500 and as we sell fully 20
per cent. cheaper than any house
in town you are getting for S2.oo
goods that will cost you $500 in
any other store this city. At
these prices if you are supplied
for this year you can well afford
to lay in a supply for next year
as you will never get another
such opportunity. Do not think
because we only speak of our 81
line that we do not carry finer
grades, for we have the finest lines
of cashmere and merino in natural
wool and colors at prices to suit

The storm which burst upon Richmond
so furiously about 5 O'Clock yesterday at
ternoou was not purely local in its effect.
The weather in the earlier part OF the day
had not been so oppressive as to give rise
to expectation that there would be such
turning loose OF electricity.
An ominously dark cloud which rose on
the western horizon about half-past 9 gave
warning that the elements were about TO
war. Gradually this became higher, and
in an hour it was nearly as dark a. twilight:
When the rain came it did 10 IN torrents aud

OF the storm. which in few minutes was practi-
cally over. though the rain fell for some little
time afterwards.

THE COMING DEBT CONFERENCE.
Only the Question of the states Ability
to BE Discussed.

Great interest attaches TO the debt con-
ference to be held here next week. The
Virginia Commission meets on Monday 70 organ
ize and decide upon It's plan OF action, and re-
representatives. from the New York committees
will be here either that day or Tuesday The
conference win probably last several days, per-
haps throughout the entire week.
The outlook for settlement IL regarded es
hopeful The New York flnanciers who are
managing the negotiations seem heartily IN
earnest and it Is thought that they Will DO IN
clined TO deal more fayorably with the state
than former commissions, as they understand
the conditions that exist here, financially, poltl-
cally and otherwise better than men VINO nave
come from abroad.
Only four members Of the committee are nkeiy
20 come to Richmond. These are Messrs bun,
Dumont, Dickey, and Mason The chairman,
Mr.. Olcott, is sick and Mr.. Bulge Is In Europe. IL
is presumed that no question Will be discussed
except the ability Of the State TO pay.
II Is reported that London parties owning no
bonds, but who have been making money AT the
expense OF the bondholders, have misled the real
creditors and induced them 70 require the COM
mittee to ask more than the State Is able 70 pay
The chances are, though, that the Olcott people,
after looking well into the condition oil virginia
finances, will favor a basis OF settlement Wltnn
