READY=TO=WEAR!

Some people have an erroneous idea that only
by going to very FiIGH-PRICED SWELL TAILOR
can they get real fine garments. Such may have
been the case until advent into the clothing
world 1t has been the height of ambition to
high in the clothing world, and we claim this
without fear of contradiction that we are placing
before the public the grandest line of "Readyto-
design and execute.
To those who have never inspected our lines
we would deem it a great favor if such they would.
1t is almost impossible in the small space such
as using in this paper to illustrate the
beauty of our goods.
We claim no kin with the Ready-T1ade Cloth
ing such as is being handled by other houses. We
claim for ours exclusive dstnCtVeness and
show only such garments that can be had and
turned out by the HIGFEST-PRICED EXCLUSIVE
AND SWELL TAILORING ESTABLISHMENTS,
minus, of course, the high price; otherwise, we
would make no bid for your trade offer you an
nduCement to abandon your tailor. But this we
promise yOu that it is impossible to find finer
tailored garments than ours, better lined or bet
ter fitting garments than ours. There's not flaw
in any of the garments showing. We're
not egOtistiCa but we feel proud of goods, and
we promise you a saving of nearly One-haIf, and in
many instances more, under the prices which ex=
elusive tailOrs charge, and even promise you better
made garments than they turn out. We must do
that or else we could not bid for your trade.

ANOTHER RESERVOIR.
The Spring Valley Water Company's New
Acquisition.


Acquisition.
The latest plan Of the Spring Valley
Water Company in the storage of vast sup
plies of water which in future will be neees-
sary for the requirements of this city and
vicinity is to construct an enormous reser-
voir on Calaveras Creek, aboutten miles from
the bay At that point there is large de-
preston in the hills, which by the construc-
ton of a dam about as large as the one at San
Mateo will enable the company to impound
a quantity of water equal TO the amount
which can be impouDded In the san Mateo
reservoir when the dam at that point Is
completed, o. 29, coo, 00O, 900 gallons. This Is
sufficient to supply this city for 900 days,
calculated on the present consumption.
The company has already acquired thou
sands of acres on Calaveras Creek, or
enough to give them an unc0ntaminated
watershed. The water from the Calaveras
Lake will be brought 10 this city around
the lower end of the bay by pipe line.
When the dam at the new lake will be
commenced is not yet announced, but prob
ably 1t will not be until after the racing sea-
son is concluded. With the San Mateo aud
Calaveras lakes and from its other sources
the Spring Valley Company estimates that
it will have a supply of water large enough
for city the size of New York and be be-
yond all danger of a water famine.

the minister says that he objected to the bill
mainly for the reason that it renews the Scott
law OF 1855; second, that it depriyes the Chinese
OF the right OF bail in habeas corpus cases. third,
that 1t requires registration OF Chinese laborers.
which is practically impossible for them to COM
ply with. They must all prove by white wit
nesses that they have lawfully entered or been
In the United States, and as the first exclusion
law was passed in 1882. every Chinaman must
produce before the collector OF internal revenue
white witness who knew him ten years ago
ana who can swear that he was in the United
states at that time. This law leaves the issu-
ance OF certificates of registration to the discre-
ton OF revenue officers and provides no way OF
compelling him to do justice to Cinnamon. He
must register and produce his evidence in the
district where he resides, while his white wit
ness may be 5000 miles away.
The senators who carefully examined the bill
announced in the Senate that the practical effect
will be to compel all Chinese laborers to leave
the United States within the year fixed for regis
tration. Sherman, chairman of the foreign
affairs committee, said this registration was
similar to the slave regulations in force before
the civil war and to the ticket-of-leaye OF the
Australian convict system. The minister said
these features of the bill are in direct violation
of the treaty Of 1850. which guarantees Chinese
laborers in the United States the same treatment
as subjects of the most favored nation. He
further says that the treaty of 1880 was agreed to
by China at the express request OF the United
States, who sent three of its most distinguished
citizens to Pekin 10 ask forit. He declined to
state what action his government would take on
account OF the passage of the bill.

IL
New YORK, May An evening paper
prints an interview with Tom Lee, Chi
nese merchant, in which the latter says:
To say that the Chinese are greatly displeased
by the passage of the exclusion bill would be
summing up the situation in a mild
manner. Thousands OF my fellow-coun-
trymen have signifed their intention of return
ing to their native land and opening hostilities
against America and Americans. The situation
is serious as it now stands, / assure you. For
several weeks pas tconierences of leading Chi
nese have been held in most OF the large cities
of the country, looking toward the adoption OF
a plan for general exodus While / have rot
yet received official notification Of the result OF
a conference at Philadelphia this week, / know

GER for the Chinese are more determined than
ever since the passage OF the exclusion bill.
The conference adjourned yesterday. All the
proceedings were religiously kept secret, but it
is ascertained that the principal thing discussed
was what purports 10 be an imperial proclama-
ton from China calling all the Chinese in this
country back TO their native land and declaring
that alI who do not go by a certain time will be
beheaded should they return at future date.
WASHINGTON CRY. May 7.-On inquiry
at the Chinese legation today it was ascer-
tanned that the published statements were
incorrect, and that no protest had been
made TO the state department by the
Chinese minister against the exclusion bill
passed by congress on the 4th instant.
The minister says:
He called in psrson ST the department on the
morning Of the 5th, aud in the absence OF Blaine,

him that be would send 10 the department

today the bill donating the military reser-
vation at Oklahoma City for school pur-
poses was passed. The House then went
into committee of the whole on the river
and harbor bill. the pending amendment
being that offered by Whiting of Michi-
gan, striking out the appropriation for a
twenty-one-foot snip canal between Chi
cago, Duluth and Buffalo, and inserting in
lieu thereof provision authorizing the
secretary of war to appoint board of en-
gineers to whom shall be referred the re-
port of Colonel o. NJ. Poe upon the sub
ject. The board shall also report as to the
practicability of raising the water level Of
the Great Lakes and connecting haSbors by
damming the Niagara river. Writings
amendment was rejected, 35 to f20. On
motion of Smith of Arizona an amend
ment was adopted appropriating $4,000
Tor improving the Colorado river
by the construction of levee on
the ella river near its junction with the
Colorado at Yuma, Ariz. On motion of
Henderson of Illinois, the appropriation
for improvement of the Missouri river be-
tween Great Falls, Mont, and Sioux City,
Ia, was increased from $4,000 to $1O0, 600.
Blanchard of Louisiana offered an addi-
tional section providing that when bids
under the river and harbor bill are not
deemed advantageous to the government,
materials may be bought and repairs and
work done otherwise than by contract.
O'Neill of Missouri vigorously assailed the
proposed section, coEtending that the effect
would be to start vast political machine
having control of the expenditure of
millions of money. He was interrupted
with cries Of ''vote," but Indignantly re-
fused to be shouted down. The amend
ment was finally agreed to-, 123 to As.
The committee then rose and reported
the bill to the House. A motion to table
the bill was rejected and the yeas and nays
ordered. The amendments were agreed to
in yross, with the exception of the last Sec
ton, upon which O'Neill demanded q sep
arate vote. The section was agreed to,
yeas 121, nays 81. Stone of Kentucky
moved to reconsider the vote. Blanchard
moved to table the motion, pending which
O'Neill moved adjournment; rejected. By
mum moved recess till 8 o'clock, supple
menting it with a motion that when the
House adjourned it would be to meet on
Tuesday next. After motion for adjourn
ment till Wednesday, which was lost, the
House adjourned on Bynums motion.

Silver Mine Owners Still at Work.


WASHINGTON CITY, May THE silver
question threatens to come up again as
subject of legislative interest. The silver
men are not disposed to accept their de-
feat. and are again circulating petitions
urging the rules committee to bring in an
order to fix the time for a vote on the free
coinage bill. Fifteen or more signatures
were obtained to one petition within the
last two days. Representative Pierce of
Tennessee, who has been the principal in
the matter, says that with the signatures
obtained several weeks ago ninety-nine
names altogether have been secured, ex-
elusive of the members Of the rules COM
mittee. AS 113 members consti-
tute a majority of the Demo
Gratis in the House, only fourteen
names remain to be obtained. Pierce says
he does not know what will be the result
of this effort; that he may fail to secure
the requisite number of signatures, but
that he intends to keep at work until he
becomes convinced that he cannot sue
ceed. The anti-silver men are not giving
themselves much concern over the mat
ter, and they do not believe that the requi-
site number of names can be secured that
the House looks upon the silver question
as settled for this session, and is not in a
temper for a renewal of the fight over the
Bland bill.
