SEATTLE, March 20. 1891.
This the idea.
We advertise a great deal.
Have lots to say about new
goods. Invite your attention
to particular lines and always
are saying we can save you
dollars and cents.
One of the customers yester-
day was saying she thought
that we couldn't keep this up
for ever.
Perhaps we can't but there's
nothing like trying.
She didn't stop to think, how
ever, what a vast subject we
have in this store of ours to
talk about.
1t would be different were
our stock a limited one, but
| just think that we use over an
acre and one-third Of floor
space, that there are miles of
shelving and counters. that
there are over a hundred busy
clerks and people in the house,
that there are hundreds Of diff
ferent sorts of goods that ag-
gregate in value over 100000.
There is plenty to talk about.
Then there are the new
spring goods to talk about.
Take any department and
there is a volume to say about
it.
Carpet department for in
stance with its new stock Of
floor coverings. Here's an
INTEREST," for you and every home
loving person in the city.
Half the home feeling. the
kind that keeps the boys home
nights, is secured by the way
| the house is fitted.
Nice things cost money, It's
true, but what more than COM
fort can money bring you'
Here is where the interest in
the carpet department lies. In
the new stock YOU have the
results of the artistic brains Of
men whose life work is to Gre
ate suitable and pleasing de-
signs that you may make your
homes pleasant.
Here arc gathered choicest
productions of loom and fac
tory. Here are the great re-
fining influences of the world
met in court.
That's perhaps a peculiar
idea to associate with carpets,
but it's not far from right.
Then, again, when you are
selecting carpet you want all
the chances for contrasting its
designs and coloring. Do
you know of an airier, lighter
and pleasanter carpet show
room than oursa The good,
honest sunlight shines in upon
it on three sides.
Ride up on the elevator and
visit the department.

Information was received that the in

danger to which the convoy was ex-
posed. An additional force of troops
was then sent out, and January 10Th it
wa announced that the CONVOY had
been extricated from its perilous posi-
ton. Today, however, word was re
ceived here that the attempt to provis-
ion Sebdon failed. The district is hope

PROHIBITION TO BE TAKEN OFF
AMERICAN PORK.
Interesting Gossip Concerning the Pan

zandt's Great Success in Russia.

PARIS, Jan. 17.-American pork has
been the subject Of much discussion in
the tariff committee. 1t seems gener-
ally understood that the committee will
recommend the abrogation of the de-
cree prphibiting the importation of
American pork. Ii this is adopted,
American pork will be placed on the

AAH TgIE PANAMA CANAL.
(, Monel1egurt, the sliquidatof a1of the
Panama Canal company, in an inter.
view in regard to the proposal that the
United States government guar
antee the interest on the Mic
aragua canal company bonds, said
that the Panama canal would be
finished before the Nicaragua canal was
completed. He added: II once hoped
the United States government would
assist in the work of completing the
Panama canal, but am sorry to say,
without effect. There is no doubt that
the government of the United States
and the government of France ought
promptly to assume charge OF the Pan
anna canal and make the necessary ar
rangements to complete the work. /
am certain that if the French govern
ment felt it would not suffer a
humiliating rebuff from the govern
ment of the United States, the
former government would be only
too willing to make propositions to
the United States, which might lead to
mutual and satisfactory understand
ing by which the Panama canal would
be completed"

FRANCES FINANCIAL STRENGTH.
In the deputies today M. Laur, in an
Interpolation, complained Of the drain
of gold to England. He asserted that it
has simply been transferred to Germany.
The Rothschilds should not be allowed
to rule, and the Bank of France should
retain sufficient amount OF gold for the
requirements of war and commerce.
Rouvier, in reply, said even after the
loan to the Barings, the gold held by the
Bank Of France amounted to 1924, ,6O0,-
900, as against $27S. .4O0, 900 in 1886. Had
not the bank lent $157 .0OO, 900, the Bank
OF England would have been compelled
to raise the rate of exchange, and French
commerce would have suffered a counter
blow from the Barring crisis. The opera
ton, Rouvier declared, was perfectly
legal and profitable, and afforded proof
OF the financial strength OF France. He
added that he accepted the entire re-
sponsibility for the loan.
Laur moved that Rouvier's explana-
tion be considered inadequate, but the
motion was rejected, 428 to %.

The Army Remains Loyal, But Most of

preparations for the defense of Val
paraiso. Orders have been given to

The government Of Chile has issued a
decree, offering reward of two years
pay and amnesty to those who have
been unwillingly led into the revolt, who
will submit to the government. It is
announced that Pisaqua and Galeta
Ruena,. and probably Arica, will be
