DECORATED POKER CHIPS.
Several Attractive styles and Costly
Discs of Pearl.

CFrom the New York Evening SUM-
ParIor outfits for poker are put up in very
attractive styles at present In prices they
range anywhere from s. up TO $50, and
they are mostly sold 10 women. The outfit
consists Of a polished hardwood box into
which are fitted two packs of cards and
solid piles of chips. The women who didn't
like poker when, because OF conscience
pangs. beans took the place of chips, see
an additional charm in the aJtractiyeness
Of the poker chip in its present advanced
stage of evolution. The cheapest are made
of composition. but even these are nicely
decorated to add to their appearance.
A fayorite style shows the tieur-ce-hs
pattern Another style is that of the Nal
tese cross. There isn't anything very ar
tistic about the horseshoe style of GscOIa-
tion. and any belief in its possible coed
luck would be Killed by the reflection that
all the players couldn't be expected 10
have equal good luck. and so it would f5i.

WASHINGTON ANXIOUS
Though Nothing Alarming Came from
Manila Today.

Washington, Jan. 10.-Although moth
ing of an alarming nature has been re-
ceiYed from Iloilo, there is no doubt
that members of the administration
view the situation as somewhat serious
and are anxiously awaiting further
news. No apprehension, however, is
felt as to the result of any collision
which might take place between United
States forces now on the island and the
natives, but the president is very anx-
iouS to avoid any encounters whatever.
He feels certain that if the natives can
be made to understand that this gov
eminent comes to them in a most
friendly and helpful spirit there will be
no further trouble, and so he has given
instructions to General Miller that the
utmost patience must be exercised and
every reasonable request granted in Or
der to avoid an open rupture.
Members of the administration ex-
press the opinion that the delay in the
ratification of the treaty of peace has
contributed not a little to the belliger-
ent spirit shown by the natives, and as
soon as that has been disposed of it is
believed that the recalcitrant element
will accept it as a notice that the SOW
ereignty of the islands has passed to
the United States and that no opposi-
ton to its formal possession will be toll
Grated. At the cabinet meeting today
the situation in the Philippines was
gone over and some time was given to
questions of administration in Cuba.

Important. if Trna.

New York, Jan. 10-A dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says:
Mataafa has been elected king of Sa-
moa to succeed Malietoa. Official in
formation to this effect has been re-
ceived here. The election was held
without trouble, though Tamasese, who
was vice king in 1881, backed by a small
following, endeavored to obtain the
office. The situation, according to the
latest advices, is quiet. Mataafa's cleo
ton is highly satisfactory, not only to
the Washington government, but to the
German and British governments, be-
cause of the certainty that he will be
guided in his actions by the wishes of
the consuls in Apia of the signatory
powers to the Berlin treaty.
