Defends Porto Rican Tariff.

THE constitution does not extend TO
Porto Rico because it would operate
against it's people. For one thing. the
constitution guarantees a trial by jury
and the Porto Ricans are not advanced
sufficiently to enjoy the privileges of
the jury system. All the money col
lected under the Porto Riean tariff
goes into the Porto Rican treasury.

RECEPTION
Given al HutChlSOnS Bargain Store Its
Twelfth Anniversary.

In order to celebrate the twelfth an
sons Bargain Store, reception was
given at the store last evening to
which all were invited. The reception
comenced at $50 in the evening, and
the finely dressed store rooms were
soon filled with visitors. AS one en-
tered the store the eye was first greet
ed with most artistic dlsolay of
dress goods, trimmings, etc. On a
brightly colored arch near the main
entrance was the inscription, "Our
Twelfth Year"
The store now occupies three floors
and covers a floor space of over $4,000
square feet. AS one turned to the
right on entering, the first display
to be seen was that of dress goods
with trimmings next adjoining. Then
on the same side, came linens, woolens
and domestics, most complete line
in splendid array. To the left of the
main entrance one first saw fine dis
play of notions, then millinery, fol-
lowed with jewelry ribbons, laces,
hosiery, underwear, stationery and
books, a most excellent line.
While on the first floor we must not
forget the grocery department. Here
we find not only a fine line of whole
some foods, but toilet articles, patent
medicines, hardware, tinwaie, wood
ware, graniteware and cutlery.
We next go to the second floor where
we first see a fine line of clothing and
gents furnishings of every description.
In another room on the same floor we
are reminded of winter when we see
ladies' and misses jackets, capes, suits,
mackintoshes, skirts and furs. Then
in the rear room are lamps, china
ware, glassware, clocks, silverware,
stamped materials and art embroider-
les The display of table ware is most
elegant. We then went to the third
floor which is by no means the least
attractive. Here one sees an extensive
stock of wall paper, window shades,
lace curtains, portierGs, drapery goods,
baskets, toys, dolls, wagons, sewing
machines, musical instruments, pic,
ture frames, carpets, rugs, oil cloths
and mattfngs.
These goods were all most tastefully
arranged for the occasion and none but
goods in stock were used.
Singers orchestra was present and
helped to enliyen the occasion with
Its music. wy

"A Newark, N. j., merchant who be-
gan business in small way and now
has a vast establishment, declares that
steady, common sense advertising in
the newspapers will pay, and always
has paid The fact that merchants
concern is not of the big class should
not deter him from putting all the
money he can into newspaper adver-
tising, as he can't tell what his posi-
bilities are until he has done that"
If an advertisement in a newspaper of
large circulation does not more than
pay for itself it is because of some
fault in the ad.

of through contractors, has effected a
saving of twenty per cent, or $4,000,
in transportation expenses in the last
fiscal year Heretofore the railroads
have refrained from bidding for trans

WHITE HOLDS OUT.
His Ammunition Is Low and the Stu.
alton Desperate.

His Ammunition Is Low and the Situ-
alton Desperate.
London, Jan. 10.-General White
still holds out, or did so so hours ago.,
when the Beers, ousted from their foot.
hold inside the works, suspended their
assault at nightfall. England has
taken heart.
The situation, however, is worse.
The beleagured force must have ex-
pended large amounts of ammunition
which cannot be replenished, and must
have lost a number of officers and
men, which is counterbalanced, so far
as the garrison is concerned, by the
greater loss of the Beers.
General White still needs relief, and
the difficulties confronting General
Butler are as great as before. The for
mer's unadorned sentences, as read and
reread, suggest eloquently the peril in
which the town was for IA houls, and
how barely able his 5000 men were to
keep from being overcome.
The chief concern for General White
is in respect OF ammunition. Sixty
eight days ago, at the beginning of the
siege. his small ammunition was
vaguely described as "plenty.s' His
artillery then had 800 rounds per gun.
Some of the batteries have been in ac-
tion frequently since then, and all were
engaged last Saturday. His
stock of shells consequently, must be
low, and this will make 1t difficult for
General White to cooperate in move
ment by General Butler.

THE LOSS OF THE HuPEH.
Chinese Crew Of Forty-Five Perished-
We're ON Rats.

Chinese Crew Of Forty-Five Perished-
We're on Rats.
San Francisco, Jan. 10.-The story
of the loss of the British steamer HUI
peh, on her voyage from this city to
Hong King, via Java, has been received
in this city, and the details show that
the loss of the vessel was accompanied
by far greater loss of life than the
cabled reports told of. The vessel
sprung leak after leaving Java with a
cargo of sugar for Hong Kong. The
Chinese crew refused to work.. The
ships boats, with one exception, were
destroyed during storm, and the crew
built number of RATS, launching
them and setting them afloat, leaving
the captain and one passenger on board
the sinking vessel. The Europeans oc-
cupied one raft and the Chinese were
divided on six or seven others.
The RATS were soon surrounded by
hundreds of ravenous sharks, which, in
their eagerness to get at the ship
wrecked sailors, jumped far out of the

the pursuing sharks.
