The fact that the rents of the "Cri-

that the testator intended them TO be

What Jewellers Know
About Sterling Silver

The fact that twelve of the
largest dry goods stores in New
York have been indicted for sell
ling bogus sterling silver goods
indicates how the public is de-
ceived in buying at such es'ab-
lishments. Jewellers knows from
whom to purchase reliable pro-
auctions; they know the latest
styles and they stand ready
to guarantee every article they
sell. Beware OF so-called bar-
gains-they generally mean spu-
rious goods-eVeKy genuine
piece oueht to bear a we'll
known trade mark. The
fact that the dry goods stores
admit that they have been de-
ceived shows how little they
know concerning silver. Bear
this in mind. 1t is easy to see

The japanese Attack Proceeds

LONDON, Feb. s.-A cab1egram from
Wei HaiWei says that the Chinese feet
has practically ceased to exist. The
1ronclad Chen Yuen and her sister
ship, the Ting Yuen, have been sunk,
and the other vessels of the Chinese
fleet are within the grasp of the jap
snese. At daybreak on Sunday the
Japanese feet opened fire on the Lui
kung forts, which replied vigorously.
The bombardment became terrific.
The first japanese division, including
the flagship, directed it's force against
the eastern island batteries, while
the second division shelled Fort Zhih.
The Chinese fleet soon came to the
assis lance of the forts. The Ting
succeeded in diverting some of the
Japanese fire from the forts to her
self. The Lai Yuen, a smaller ship,
also fought well. There were many
casualties Two Chinese gunboats
also assisted, but were not badly
damaged. These four vessels fought
desperately until dark, when the
firing ceased on both sides.
The Chinese forts. especially Fort
Zhih, suffered immense damage. The
slackening Chinese fire toward even

or that ammunition was becoming
scarce. The sea was rough Sunday,
but fearing that the Chinese would
endeavor to escape, the Japanese feet
did not seek shelter, rema ming to
block the exits from the harbor.
During the night the Japanese
learned from a prisoner who had been
captured ashore that Admiral Ting,
IL
ordered the captains of the various
ships to remain inside the harbor,
even if the islands should be cap
tured, and endeavor to destroy the
Japanese feet. Every officer was
ordered to remain at his post until
the last under pain of dishonor or
death.
The bombardment was resumed

repeated. The fire from Port Sci

The Chen Yuen and Ting Yuen were
built at the Vulcan works, Stettin,

in December, 1882, and the latter in
December, 1881. Chief Engineer King
of the United States navy recently
described the vessels as follows:
'They are armored ships of the Bar

The Administration Currency
Bill is Defeated.
NJ MAJORITY AGAINST
In Each Political Party Reore-
scented in the House.

WASHINGTON, Feb. s.-The last hope
of financial legislation for the relief
of the treasury at the present session
of the congress went by the board
when the house yesterday afternoon
by vote of 1s4 to 161 rejected the
administrat ton bill to authorize an
issue of $500, 600, 600 bonds. From IL
until $40 o'clock when the bill with
the pending substitutes was reported
to the house from the committee OF
the whole, amendments were offered
in rapid succession, most OF which
were voted down as fast a. they were
offered. Many of them were intended
to load down the bill and the votes
thereon were in no sense
test votes. The Bell amend
ment, for instance. to make the
bonds payable in gold and silver, was
defeated by the decisive vote OF 76 to
Io6. while the bill was defeated by
1874 to 161. Both the Reed and Cox
substitutes with the amendme nts
thereto were rejected after the bill
was reported to the house. The Reed
substitute authorizing the issue OF
coin bonds for the eplenishment OF
the gold reserve and certificates OF
indebtedness to defray deficiencies in
the revenues was lost-109 to 1877. 1t
was a party vote, save for the fact
that seven Democrats and Cannon OF
Califor ala, voted for it When the
question came up for third read
ing and engrossment of tho
bill, the whole opposition con-
centrated. While the vote was being
taken, which resulted in the
refusal of the house to order the

quietly in his seat during the first
call, and did not answer his lame,
but on the second call he voted for
the bill AS soon as the result was
announced, Mr.. Reed attempted to
make an explanation OF the attitude
of himself and those of his colleagues
who had voted for the bill, but obiec-
tions were made. He afterwards ex-
planned, however, that he had sub
mitted a proposition this own substi-

meet the situat ton The Democrats
had rejected this and then he and
many of his colleagues, al
though opposed to features of
the bill, had voted for it in tn, hope
that it would pass and be amended in
the nate. Mr.. Springer then moved
to reconsider the vote by which the
third reading was refused. but the
motion was laid on the table-135 to
123-and the bill was killed, parlia-
mentarily speaking. An analysis Of
the vote shows A Republicans and go

INDIAN BILL REPORTED.
Several Important Changes Made By
the Senate Committee.

Several Important Changes Made By
the Senate COMMITTEES.
WASHINGTON, Feb. s. - Senator
Cockrell, from the committee on ap-
preparations. has reported the Indian
appropria ton bill. The total appro-
priation made ty it is s., s29, 700, an
increase OF sos. $40. The appropria-
ton made by the house for the sup
port of Indian pupils at the
Lincoln institute. Philadelphia. and
the Hampton college in Vir-
ginia, is stricken out and the
total sum for the education of Indians
placed in the control of the secretary
of the interior is increased to 81. 49,
44o; $500, 900 is appropriated for the
survey of lands in Indian Territory.
The secretary of the interior is au-
thorized to negotiate with the Otoe
and Missouri tribes for the purchase
of sufficient quantity of their sur
plus lands to allot to members of the
tribes.
An important amendment is that
appropriating $50 o6o for the survey
and allotment of lands and providing
that an allotee who, who on account
of physical disability, can not occupy
his allotment, may lease the same,
and also providing the surplus lands
OF and tribe whose lands are allotted
may lease the surplus for farming
purposes.
One of the general amendments
provides that no person should be
employed as farmer or stockman
who has not been at least five years
previously employed in the practical
occupation of farmer. Twenty five
thousand dollars of the appropriation
for Arizona and New Mexico is made
immed ately available, supposedly
for the relief of destitute Navajoes.
The provision allowing the secre tary
of the interior to pay the Stockbridge
Indians per capita half of the fund
now to their credit in the United
States treasury upon completion of
the allotment of their lands is stricken

Kr. Springer Talks.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. - Chairman
Springer, of the banking and cur
rency committee. was not prepared to
say whether any further action would
be taken or what would now be done.
He was very much disappointed at
the result and blamed the Republi-
cans, saying that if they had stood by
the bill it would have been passed.
If any thing was to De done a new bill
would have to be brought in, as the
bill voted upon is beyond recall All
other Democrats who were for the
bill said this was the end of anything
in the way of financial legislation.
There was some talk of a Democratic
caucus, but that did not seem proba-
BILE The impression prevailed there
would now be another bond issue
without delay. =
