Christmas Suggestions.

1T is quite essential to bring to your
notice this early in the holiday season
some attractions you yourselves would
not overlook, to be found i'm c. H. Ma
sens model store. The window dis
pays are always in full dress and up
to dare,' therefore the holidays can
not make the contrast as pronounced.
What the writer desires to call your
attention to at this time particularly
IS not show or display, but facts re-
garding some specialties that have
been provided for the occasion. If you
desire to make a present of anything
in the neckwear line you want it to
be nice, stylish and if possible, rather
out, of the regular line. Mr.. Mason
appears to have anticipated this want,
and so also in the line of house jackets
and bath robes you can here find
special styles, all having been made to
order, hence, you see, THE necessity OF
an early selection, as they cannot be
duplicated later. One of the most ele-
CANT articles for present would be a
silk umbrella for lady or gent There
are some high toned ones in this stock,
beautiful and expensive enough for any
purse, particularly the ladies' umbrel-
las. Mems gloves are also to be
counted among the desirable presents,
specially SO when you have SO choice a
stock 10 select from: Of course you
have no doubts regarding anything
you purchase in this store being fault
less in style. You, of course, are IA
miliar with the character of the regu-
lar stock of underwear, etc 1t would
be capital to remember some friend
with set of the "Jaros.''

attack from the navy of Spain, which

army also required enlargement of men

Twentieth Infantry Ready to Move
On Short Notice.

Leavenworth, Kan. Dec. 5.-The
Twentieth United States infantry at
Fort Leavenworth has orders indicat-
ing that it will be sent to Manila to
relieve one of the volunteer regiments,
or to increase the force already in the
island of Luzon. The first intimation
that the regiment was to be sent to
the far east came several days ago in
the form of an order from the war de-
partment, notifying the officers to make
acquisitions for such food and supplies
as will be needed in a tropical climate.
Orders have been forwarded for the
regiment to be in readiness to move on
short notice. 1t is believed that it will
soon be on its way to San Francisco.
The regiment still lacks about T5 men
of it's war footing. but is rapidly be-
ing recruited to its full strength.

(Snecial to The HeraldN

Washington, D. c., Dec. 5.-Senator
Rawlins said tonight that the message
is chiefly reiteration of the familiar
events of the war. Other parts OF the
message are without feature and de-
void of any suggestions, except such as
originate with subordinates. The pres
ident has apparently no settled policy
concerning the new possessions, nor
the currency; or, if he has any, has
carefully refrained from declaring it.
Those who expected a thoughtful and
a statesmanlike expression from him
at this time have reason to feel. disap-
pointed.
REPUBLICAN PRAISE.
Washington. Dec. 5.-Many senators
excused themselves from expression of
opinions at length upon the message,
on the ground that they had not been
able to give careful attention to all the
details. Republican senators We're,
however, willing to express themselves
in few general words of commenda-
ton.
Senator Cullom regarded it as "a
painstaking, entertaining and accur-
ate historical review"
Senator Platt of New York commend
ed the expression of a determination to
increase the standing army and to
maintain order in Cuba until the Gu
bans can take care of themselves
Senator Wolcott said it was an ad-
mirable document.
Senator Lodge said it was table and
excellent"
Senator Foraker-A good presenta-
ton of facts generally, but a little in
definite on the question of Cuban inde-
pendence.
Senator Proctor-A good American
paper.
Senator Perkins-An able resume of
the situation and facts leading up to
the war.
The Democrats were even more
averse than the Republicans to discuss
the paper Senator Jones of Arkansas
was an exception. He found in the
message number of points which did
not accord with his views. One of these
was the proposition to continue the
volunteer army in existence until the
standing army can be increased.
Some of US do not favor the in
crease OF the standing army" he said
"and the president has no right to as
sumo that a majority stand with him
on that proposition.
The Arkansas senator also questioned
the presidents right to hold the volun-

Impending Conflict.
All those things carried conviction to
the most thoughtful, even before the
finding of the naval court, that a crisis
in our relations with Spain toward
cuba were at hand. SO strong was this
belief that it needed but brief exc
cutive suggestion to congress to receive
immediate answer to the duty of max
ing instant provision for the possible
and perhaps speedily probable emer-
gency of war, and the remarkable, al
most unique spectacle was presented of
a unanimous vote of both houses, on
the 9Th of March, appropriating fifty
million dollars for the national defense
and for each and every purpose con-
nected Herewith, to be expended at the
discretion Of the president.
That this act of provision came none
too soon was disclosed when the appli-
cation of the fund was undertaken. Our
forts We're practically undefended. Our
navy needed large provision for in
creased ammunition and supplies and,
