MONEY At A DISCOUNT.
Novel Sale Made by u Chicago Department
Store.


CHICAGO, May 0.-It has long been
considered foregone conclusion that
two things, at least-lnoney and post.
age stamps-cannot be purchased in
retail quantities under their face value
The Fair however proved how fal-
lacious was this theory as regards
money when the management sold
silver dollars at 90 cents apiece and 81
gold pieces at "a. 75 each, 1t was the
twentieth anniversary of the big store
and, to commemorate the event, the
money was put on sale at a discount,
as stated. The cashier of the store
made on an average of five sales a
minute from 0 o'clock in the
morning until 0 o'clock in the even
ing, during which time over $4,000
was discounted. The hungry crowd
OF bargain hunters was not slow to
take advantage Of the offer. The rules
OF the game prohibited the selling of
more than one gold piece or silver dol
lar to one person, but there were many
RINGERS who after receiving their
bright new piece Of money, spok the
foot of the long line again and slowly
moved forward TO the desk. Superin-
tendcnt Winward said that the man
agement had not anticipated such II
rush for the money The line extend
ed to Adams and Dearborn streets from
the center Of the store, and 1t was
maintained nearly all day long. Just
before closing time, at 8 o'clock, the
big piles Of money were all gone, and
the late comers were disappointed.
The money sale only lasted one day.

WASHINGTON, May 10.-An of1cial
dispatch from Toxic received at the
Japanese legation yesterday afternoon
states the rati6cations Of the treaty o.
peace between Japan and China were
exchanged at Che Foo Wednesday.
No change was made in the text Of the
treaty as originally concluded.
Taking into account, however,
the recommendations made by
Russia, Germany and France,
the Japanese government has agreed
to renounce the permanent possession
OF the Liao Tung peninsula on condi.
ton that the arrangement regarding
the terms and form OF renunciation
shall be reserved for adjustment be.
tween itself and the government Of
China This latter stipulation is con.
strued to mean that Japan will not
surrender the peninsula until q
suitable indemnity shall have been
paid, and that it may have
been agreed between Japan and China
that the possession Of Port Arthur it.
self will be retained by the Japanese
for q term Of years, leading beyond

LILIUoKALANI TIRED OF PRISON.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 1O-According
to mail advices from Honolulu ex-
queen Liliuokalani has become tired Of
prison confinement and will soon make
ap effort to regain her freedom. Her
friends have been busy in her behalf,
and q writ Of habeas corpus was to
have been sworn out when the steamer
left 1t has been a complete surprise
to the government that no attempt has
been made to test the validity Of the
military court that recently dealt with
the rebels 1t was generally under
stood that test case would be made
as soon as it adjourned, but for some
reason no action was taken.
Rumors Of rupture in the Hawaiian
cabinet were current when the steam
er sailed. The disagreement was said
to be over the disposition of the rebel |
prisoners, Ministers Damon and King |
being in favor Of liberating all prison
ers but the ringleaders, and being op-
posed by Minister Hatch and Attorney
General Smith. 1t was said that Pres
ident Dole favored the release of the
men.
CUBAN UPRISING NOT SERIOUS.
WASHINGTON, May 10. Official con-
firmation reaching here indicates Span
ish authorities no longer regard the
Cuban uprising as a serious affair. 1t
is not considered that the trouble is
actually closed and the rebellion form
ally ended, but the authorities are sat-
isfed the revolt has ceased to have the
menacing aspect of few weeks ago.
The rebel armies have been reduced to

LOUISVILLE, KY, May l0.-The city

when the case of Fulton Gordon,
charged with the murder of his wife
and Archie Brown was recalled. After
arguments were completed and the case
closed Judge Thompson announced that
he could not hold the prisoner and that
he would discharge him, as an object
lesson to other adulterers. In explana-

evidence OF guilt on Gordon's part, but
that the adulterer and adulteress stood
on the verge of an abyss of ruin and
death and that their fate was only
what could be expected. Thus ends

POOR L0 HAS TOO MANY WIVES
WASHINGTON, May II. Special Agent
Dickson, at Pine Ridge, $. D., has re-
ported to the Indian office that Amer
lean Horse, the well-known Sioux
chief, has been arrested on charge
Of bigamy and released on bail pend
ing trial. The agent recommends that
steps be taken to stop the proceed
ings, which he regards as the first in
series of like arrests. All the older
Indian chiefs have had several wives
for forty years and more, and no one
has ever dreamed of interfering be-
fore. The impression prevails in the
Indian Office that the arrest Of Ameri-
can Horse is part Of q general plan,
OF which the recent Turtle mountain
disturbances were part, to trump up
cases against Indians and secure fees
for the United States deputy marshals
who make the arrests.
