If your tailor is to be believed you're pitiably

when we say SIS, $40, $25, or $50, We don't wonder
it's strange sound to your after the $50 to $50
askings you've been in the habit of hearing. But
the only difference is the price. You can't get such
clothes ready -made everywhere, though-nowhere
else in Richmond. You can pay more-but there
isn't our variety--nor the same high-cass work to

lacking in the fine points that you used to- But
the price is there's or $40 more than ours Well

HE DID NOT MEAN 1T.
Crisp Was a Gar Only in a
Pickwickian Sense.
He Repented Over Night, or Else He
Read Up on Parliamentary
Law.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-The error Of
the journal clerk of the House. which was
incorporated in Speaker Crisp's rulings of
yesterday in refusing to entertain certain
motions for the reason that they were
"dilatory," gave a good deal of satisfac-
ton to Tom Reed. After the Speaker had
examined tie journal, however, and made
statement that it did not reflect his ruI-
-ings Reed made no objections TO correc-
ton.
Against the protest of the Republicans,
the Democrats House Committee on Rules
this morning decided to report an order
for two weeks debate on the Federal cleo
tion laws repeal bill and then vote. The
Republicans wanted TO postpone the time
of the beginning and ending of the debate.
On assembling the House order was
reported and the previous question de-
manded. Reed demanded the ayes and
noes to determine whether the Democrats
had a quorum. BY a good deal of effort
tn ey barely succeeded in mastering a
quorum and the previous question was
ordered. 175 to ~.
Thirty minutes were allowed for the
debate, and instead of devOting the time
to the discussion of the order or measure
it pertained to ex-Speaker Reed opened
the debate on the correctness of Speaker
Crisp's ruling of yesterday.
81 know" said he. that the Demo-
cratic party has no desire to establish one
man power. but the proposition laid down
by the Speakers ruling of yesterday giving
the Committee on Rules power to origin
ate legislation and making it un-
amendable by the House has no parallel
except under the first con sulate in France"
General Catchings i'll a strong reply
pointed out that Reed misun derstood the
meaning and intent of the rules adopted
by the House. A vote was taken on the
adoption of the report and it was adopted
ayes 179, noes3.
The House then passed to the report of
the Committee on Accounts of Assigned
Clerks to Committees This was the sig
nal for the regular biennial effort in the
interest of economy and retrenchment.
The chairman's report gave per diem or
annual clerks to all committees. The
minority had prepared a report against
providing all committees with clerks, but
the report was not presented. A long de-
bate ensued. in which Paynter offered
substitute for the majority report. abolish
ing clerks to the committees on expendi-
lures in the different departments and the
Committees on the Alcoholic Liquor
Traffic. Education, immigration. Levees
and improvements on the Mississippi
River, Mileage. Militia and Ventilation
and Acoustics. The substitute was carried,
10 to IS.
Grain of Texas moved to reconsider the
vote, but pending the motion the Spea ker
laid the before the House the corrections
he had noted in the journal. and after they
had been made the House adjourned.

MITCHELL WILL SIGN.
At Least He Says He Will, Whatever
That Nav Mean.

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-Charles Mitchell
and Judge Newton, representing the
Couey Island Athletic Club, met tonight
to settle as to whether Mitchell would or
would not fight Corbett at Coney Island.
After considerable general talk the Judge
aud Mitchell retired. When they returned
where the rest were waiting, one of the
party boldly asked Newton what had been
decided upon.
'Oh, everything is lovely" said the
Judge. Il stated the facts to Mitchell as
they are, and he says they are perfectly
satisfactory to him."
"Yes," spoke up Mitchell. Everything
is all right. The Judge has given me a
COPY OF the articles Corbett signed, and
which l will examine carefully. perhaps
making few scratches. Tomorrow |
will telegraph Newton where l Will meet
him on Saturday IN order that ! may sign
them"
Mitchell says he will start training on
Tuesday next, but he is not certain as yet
where he will train.

THURSTON AND sPReCKELs.
The Hawaiian Commissioner Makes
Some Stiff Charges.

WASHINGTON Sept. 21.-L. A. Thur
ston, representing the Provisional Gov
eminent of Hawaii. publishes an open
letter to Claus Spreckels, in which he
reiterates the charges that Spreckels has
tried TO embarrass the Provisional Gov
ernment by suddenly demanding the pay
ment of loan of S95, 900 to the Royalist
Government. He says soldiers were placed
in charge of the Government buildings II
prevent Spreckels and other roy alist sup
porters from carrying out the repeated
threat of restoring the ex-Queeu by force,
and cites the continued peace and a surplus
in the treasury to show the success of the
new Government. He declares the plant
ers, almost without exception, prefer to
take their chances without contract cOolie
labor rather than bear the misgovernment
of the past He adds that Spreckels knows,
the planters know, and the people of the
United States know, that there is as much
probability of Hawaiian planters receiving
, cents pound bounty on their sugar as
there is of the traditional rich man enter
ing the kingdom of heaven, so this is not
their reason for seeking annexation.

VERY BAD SUBSTITUTE.
Tramps Take Possession of Los
Angeles.

Los ANGELES, Sept. 2l.-One of the
possibly unfortunate consequences of the
enforcement of the Geary law has become
most decidedly noticeable during the past
few days, and people of this city are be-
ginning to wonder if a greater evil than
the presence Of the Chinese is not about TO
affiict them.
1t appears that news that the Chinese
were being deported from Southern Cali
fornia in wholesale numbers has been
spread abroad throughout the East, and
unemployed white men of every character
and description seem to be fiocking toward
the West. On the Santa Fe overland train
Wednesday there arrived in this city near
ly 100 men, who came without money, Civ
ing it as their intention to take the places
made vacant by the deported heathens
The fellows came from various points in
the East and were altogether handbook
ing lot.
To-day they scattered out. visiting vari-
Gus portions of the city and suburbs. but
manifested no particular desire to 90 to
work right away. The police have been
instructed to keep a sharp outlook over
the actions OF the unwelcome visitors, but
in spite Of their vigilance it is probable
that there will be a large increase in the
number of burGlaries and petty crimes
due 10 the appearance of these UNEMPLOYED
men.
1t is reported that some of the city au-
thorties Of the East made special arrange
meDts with the railroad companies TO
transport men free 20 the West in order to
be rid Of the undesired element.

SILVER IN SINGAPORE.
The Problem England Has Set Her
Colonies to Solve.

LONDON, Sept. 2L-A dispatch to the
Times from Singapore says: The Straits
Settlements Currency Commission ended
its sittings to-day.
Four serarate reports were presented.
Six members OF the commission advise
that token coinage be adopted and six
others demand that free silver be con-
tinued.
The first report of the token men ad-
vises the adoption of the Indian rupee +
the Indian experiment proves successful
and if token dollar be impossible. The
free-sllver men are much frmer.
They advocate the continued use of the
Mexican dollar. and for safety the addition
of a proposed British dollar. which shall
follow the price of silver.
The report of the Chinese members is to
the same effect. but contends that cheap
silver would be advantageous TO producers,
while token coinage would ALLEVIATE trade.
The token coinage men say the follow
ing of silver means new taxation, and the
Chinese reply that it is better to have new
taxation than token coinage. The opinion
Of the European members is divided.

HE CARED NOTHING FOR RIO,
But Wanted Non Combatants
Out of the Way.
NEGOTIATED WITH THE REBELS.
A Shrewd Dodge of the Brazilian
President Said to Have Come
to Nothing.

LONDON, Sept. 21.-Private advices from
Rio Janeiro state that furious lombard
ment is expected hourly. The only reason
the bombardment was lot commenced yes
terday was because of the negotiations be-
tween the rebels and the Government
undertaken at the instance of the foreign
powers, who wish to save the city from
destruction. 1t is not believed these nego-
tiatons will amount to anything. In fact,
it is said the Government is merely pro-
longing them to allow nOn-cOm batants to
get away and merchants to save their
goods.
The statements of yesterday have been
confirmed from several sources. and the
attempt Of the Brazilian Minister to
belittle the rebellion is not accepted with
any credence in London. The people of
Rio admit that the rebellion has progressed
to such an extent that it would be better
to let the city fall into the hands of the
insurgents than be shelled.
The rebels at Rio are in communication
with the insurgents in the south and all
are acting in unison. After their success
at Santos they proposed to attack Porto
Allegro and Rio Grande do Sui. In fact,
the insurgent vessels are said to be already
started upon that errand.
There is a strange story told in connec-
tion with the long and bitterly contested
revolution in Rio Grande DO Sui. Among
the persons who have had great influence
in the revolution is woman-Mme.
Gabrela de Matos. 81 years old, with large
blue eyes and blonde hair. At the begin
ming Of the revolt she sold her cattle and
attached herself 20 the troops of Yuca
Tigre. one of the rebel chiefs, whose
adjutant she became. She accom-
panied the half-wild leader on all
his expeditions, clad in uni
form which was a strange combination OF
women's and mems attire. Across he1
shoulders she carried a band on which
were the words: Long live Liberty
Long live Rio Grande do Sulr' Many
deeds of courage as well as kindness are
told OF this unusual woman. who believes
that she is a second Joan of Arc. called to
lead her country to independence.
There IS 4 0 doubt the rebels are meeting
with success. Ia tact a report that they
had occupied Rio was in circulation here
this morning.

FEAR THE WORST.
Yachtsmen Believe the Valkyrie Has
Gone Down.

NEW YORK, September 21.-In yachting
circles in and out of New York the fear is
freely expressed that the Valkyrie is at
the bottom of the ocean. having come out
second best in al encounter with the big
cyclone that worried seamen on the At
lantic during the past month. The only
person who appears to be sanguine that
the Valkyrie still rides the sea and will
make her appearance soon is Designer Wat
son, who said to-day he would not give her
up until some definite news of misfortune
having befaIleu her was received.
Even if the yacht Is safe the delay is bad
on account of the possibility of the further
postponement of the races. The weather
conditions are generally less favorable for
match races in the middle of October than
earlier. Still. the calm days of autumn
usually begin about the second week in
that month, and during such weather good
sailing breezes are not common. The al
verse winds which the English cutter ex-
perienced after the Spain left her might
keep her back until Saturday or even
later, and in that case the further post
ponement of the races from October 5 will
probably be asked.

MILWAUKEE, Sept 2L-judge Jenkins

Pacific receivers to have an order for the

BEATEN IN THE SOUTH.
The Relief Fleet RepuIsed From the
Forts of Santos.


MoNTEvDEO, Sept. 21. The news
which has been received here to-day is not
SO favorable to the cause of the revolu-
tionists as heretofore. The rebel squadron,
of which the Republica is the flagship,
which sailed for the south, intending to
bomba Santos, Porto Allegro and Rio
Grande do Sui. has been defeated. When
they arrived off Santos the guns of the
Republica and Pallas were trained on the
CITY
The land forces were awaiting the at
tack and the shore artillery replied with
vigor. The fight was kept up for two
hours, when the rebel feet hoisted anchor
and sailed southwark. Desertions from
the ranks OF the reyoutionists are daily
reported, and the Government is strength
ening its forces hoping to soon dominate
the situation.
The Federal troops in Rio Grande do Sui
have abandoned the siege of the city oil
San Eugenio, which they found was too
strongly defended to attack with any hope
Of success. There was considerable
skirmishiDg but no decisive results Two
thousand Federals, under the command of
General Pena, were encamped near Bap-
iista, intending TO attack San Eugenio,
which was defended by 600 Castilbistas,
commanded by General Tigre.
Advices received from Rio are more
favorable to the rebels than those from the
south.
It is reported that the citizens of the
Brazilian capital expect that the city will
in few days be surrendered to Admiral
de Mello.
There is a feeling of intense bitterness
against PeiXoto among the citizens, and il
IS not thought they will long submit to be
cut oil from all supplies by the revolu-
tiOnists.
Admiral de Mello's squadron still pre-
vents any ships communicating with the
shore, and the stock Of provisions in The
city IS running very low. 1t IS predicted
that DE Mello viii be in possession of Rio
before the end Of the week.
1t Is reported here that foreign vessels
may enter all Brazilian ports freely under
the responsibility Of their own flags but
the truth Of this is doubted.
