the Swiss excel. They show many fine

made in this and other countries. Their
work IL mort of the trinket order, and
lacks the dignity of that of Denmark, for
instance, OF Of Russia or even Norway.
The Swiss excel of course in the making Of
fine music boxes, and in their pavilion

that the incessant tinkle becomes rather
tiresome. The boxes are sold at all prices,
from q few dollars up to two thousand

their work is chiefly confined to game

Italians or Danes. They show many IL.

no fewer than $50 men at work all the

sizes. Children's faces and figures are
favorite topics with these artists. Here ia
a little girl with a dead bird, a sad face,
tears starting in the big brown eyes.

their overfowing hearts. A group OF
three children leaning against the balcony

Juvenile happiness. A girl Is out fishing,

out over the waters edge for q throw.
Another woman is dressing her hair
with a mirror held at arms length and the
head turned a trife to one side to note the
effect, just as woman does the world over.
An infant is crying because the nurse has
forced him to take a bath In a vessel half
filed with soap suds, and there are the
bubbly suds as natural as life, done in
marble. There are women wearing wells,
which one is tempted to thrust aside that
he may the better study the features un-
derneath. A gamin is smoking a cigarette
and reading a newspaper, and if you know
Italian you may read the title Of the jour
nal on the marble page. A newsboy has q
bundle of papers under his arm. These
are only q few samples of the wonderful
facility with which these Italian artists or
artisans or whatever :hey are use marble
expressively. No wonder the crowds
gather here so thick that at times not q
foot of spare space can be found in the
whole exhibit.
For the most part these products Of the
Italian workshops are rather cheap in
price, and very many Americans have al
ready purchased those pieces which caught
their fancy. Some Of the smaller statu.
cites have twenty or thirty "sold cards"
attached to them, each card bearing the
name and address of the buyer, who viii

ernments have guaranteed their exhibitors
full transportation back to Europe of all
the wares which they may have on sale at
the close of the exposition.
1t the rich Chicagoans conclude to buy
few fine articles they will do well tc
visit the Austrian exhibit. Here Is q mag.
ntficent porcelain punch bowl for $3.50, and
the purchaser may have the satisfaction
of knowing that the Empress of Austria
uses one exactly like it. Here is a b.
hemian liquer set, dainty as baby fingers,
for s73.50. The Emperor of Austria has a
duplicate on his imperial buffet. A great
bronze clock, with a pair of candelabra, all
In gold gilt, are held at $1,000, and Prince
Schwarzenberg has ordered aduplicate for
his drawing room. A beautiful vase at
$1,000 has been ordered by Prince Paul
Esterhazy. If these things do not catch
the Chicago fancy and purse l don't know
what will.
There are a few things here that money
will not buy. One is q rare old Hungarian
cabinet, dark and rich, redolent of the red
wines OF Hungary, carved profusely and
strangely, an antique Of enormous value
and not for sale. Then there are the

tria. just what the purpose of a gift Of
honor' is the polite young woman attend
ant could not tell me, but she thought it
was a present which aman made in return
for the distinction of being decorated with
one of the royal orders. At any rate, the
emperor has amassed quite q collection Of
these trinkets, and has graciously loaned
them for exhibition here. They are noble
specimens of the jewelers. art. There are
three necklaces of indescribable beauty.
though what use an emperor has for q
necklace is not explained. Ode is of gold,
enamel and mother of pearl, another Of
gold, lapis lazul and pearls, the third is
composed of twelve beautifully engraved
medallions, pearl on II side, with a dark
tint on the other. There is a mirror in
mother of pearl more fit for the boudoir Of
a queen or an American operate star.
Truly exquisite is a little jewel box, not
quite large enough to hold a pack of play
ing cards, painted in enamel by the aid Of
a magnifying glass. The lines are as fine
az a hair and the pictures as perfect as if
they were painted over a square foot in
stead Of square inch of surface. The
price of this dainty gem, marve.: Of pa
thence and touch, is $3.50.
One OF the prettiest things in the exhibit
is a Psyche by the sea, painted on porce-
lain, with extraordinary play of lights
n perspective effects. 1t is in the Wah-
HISS collection, and at $500 is one of the
cheapest things in the show.

The Hawaiian Treaty VIII Be Held Out
by Needed Legislation.

WASHINGTON, D. c., February 25.-
After four hours spent in discussing
various amendments Of little import
ance to the Legislative Appropriation
bill the Senate passed the bill to-day,
insisted on its amendments, and re-
ouested a conference with the House on
the disagreeing votes.
A motion was made by Mr.. Sherman
to go into executive committee, which
was defeated by the compact Demo
cratic vote, aided by four votes on the
Republican side CT the chamber. One
of the leading Democratic Senators
stated TO a reporter that the particular
significance of the vote was that the re-
naming time of the session should be
given TO legislative business and not
frittered away in petty nominations or
in considering the Hawaiian treaty.
No'action on the treaty, he said, would
be had this session.
Mr.. Sherman's motion was defeated

Senators voted in the negative and

Populist voted with them-Messrs.

to her right temple and shot her dead.
Then going to the kitchen, where her
other sister was, she shot her 10 the

heard the shots.
Miss Force calmly locked the door

prize fighting as conducted here, and
calling on the Legislature TO pass the

speaking about the affair Of last night,
said:
"Prize lighting has been falling into
disrepute OF late, and tbs killing Of
Miller by Hawkins will 60 a long way
toward helping 10 stop this kind OF sport
altogether. The truth Of the matter Is,
what have been termed boxing tOurna-

derstand from what has been told me,
that he was quite grOggy then, and IN
6t TO fight Hawkins any longer. But
instead Of doing this they allowed the
contest TO continue, knowing well the
condition Of the beaten man."
There have been a snumoer OF fatal
ring events in this city within the past
few years, and the killing OF Miller
will revive interest i'm the slaughtering
OF Tom Avery by Ed. CufTee, at the
Cremorne, the killing Of Tug Wilson,
and the murder OF Harry Mcbride, by
Frank LaRue, at the Golden Gate Club.
Billy Miller, the dead pugiiist, was
sturdy little Swede about 81 years OF
age. He fought because he loved 10

DO Not Know Rizzo.

WASHINGTON, February 25.-Tn ref
erence to the cable dispatch from Tan
gers that a Mr.. Rizzo, the new Portu-
gese Consul at Fee, who also claims to
represent the United States, has been
refused right of residence by the
Moorish government, it was stated at
the State Department that their records
do not bear Rizzo's name. There has
always been more or less friction be-
tween the United States Consulate at
Tangiers and the Moorish authorities,
largely on the question of granting
American protection papers to protect
foreigners from Moorish law. Mr.. RiZzo
may possibly have been commissioned
as a subordinate consular agent by Con-
sui Gederal Matthews, representative Of
the United States at Tangier, but even
this is doubted. Even il it were true,
such a commission would give him no
consular rights OF residence such as are
claimed in the dispatch.
