To SuggestOrs of Title for Meyers New

From the thousands or suggestions re-
ceived it is apparent to us that the pub
lie have the idea that we do not intend
TO use the name of Meyers. To such,
we wish 10 say that our trade mark
name of Meyers will be continued and
that the limit of five words need not in
clude the name Meyers and to those who
are under the impression that they must
suggest some name with the prefix the
we beg leave 10 state that such Is not
the case, for instance Retailers or
Everything" "Sell Everything" uni
versal Providers" which would all be
MISSILE, and in fact are more 10 our
preceded by the name Meyers are per-
liking. We make these suggestions TO
the public, as we are anxious to obtain
the most striking and original title. We
further hope you will suggest as often as
any thought comes to mind. as the most
simple suggestion may be adopted.

1here was suppressed laughter at the cir
cumstantial detail of Mr.. Foraker's state
ment he added that some twenty sena-
tors were present and every item of the
agreement was gone over and written
Piatt.
Then Mr.. Plat said he would modify his
statement. There was meeting at which
certain suggestions were presented as to
what was wanted, but these were not as
scented TO
Mr.. Foraker asserted that Mr.. Allison
had SAID that in case specific rates were
placed on third-class wool. the duties on
secured woods would be triple.
Mr.. Peurose took part in the debate to
briefly state that the agreement which the
senator from Ohio said existed could not
nave been as he and Mr. Foraker had been
up until after midnight last night trying to
adjust differences.
MI Foraker replied that the difference
iast night was not on third-class wool,
but another matter.
MI Haze rep, of Maine, now entered
the debate as peacemaker. He suggest
ca that the senators were not so very
Iar apart and in a little time the differ
ences could be adjusted and united action
secured. This appeared to meet with gen
e a approval, ana Mr.. Carter thereupon
asked that paragraphs $40 to 376, inclu-
slye, covering carpet woods, go over
Mr.. Allison assented, and it seemed as
though the storm had passed
Mr. Vest of Missouri and Mr.. Teller Of
colorado, however. objected TO the post
pOnement,
Mr.. Mantle asserted the bill to be fun
OF loopholes and snares for the unwary.
Mr.. Allison then offered an amendment
TPOnfrinO oe A..
TO pay three times the duty of unsecured
wool of that class. After a rather ex-
tended debate, the amendment was
adopted.
When paragraph 81, relating to the rate
on third-class woods, was reached, the bill
was laid aside
A joint resolution was agreed to appro~
priating 100000 for the immediate repair
of dry dock No. at the New York navy
yard.
At 4:4O o'clock the Senate held an execu.
tive session and then adjourned.
