THE WAR REVENUE REPEAL.
All Rates Brought Back TO Basis
Previous to Spanish War.

Washington, Jan. S1.-The bill re-
ducing war revenue taxes $77.000, ,00J
has been completed by Chairman
Payne of the Ways and Means Com
mittee. The committee will meet on
Monday and report the bill to the
House, and 1t is the purpose of Mr..
Payne to begin the consideration of
the measure in the House Immediately
following the consideration of the anti
oleomargarine bill.
The reduction bill is rather
lengthy, as several schedules have
to be re-adjusted. All rates, however,
are brought back to those existing be-
fore the spanish war. The repeal Sec
1lon rs brief and restores the old rates.
In some cases. as In that of cigars, to-
bacco. beer, ETC.. changes have been
made since the original war taxes were
imposed, so that a simple repeal OF ex-
isting law would not restore the old
rates. Special sections cover these
cases. But the full effect of the meas
ure is to restore all the old rates ex-
cept that on mixed flour.
Mr.. Payne introduced the bill In the
House during the day and II was re-
ferred to the Committee on Ways and
Means.

in progress with the Continental lines

BRITISH REPLY TO DUTCH.
A Sort of Indirect Negative to HO1.

London, Jan. S1.-The British reply
to the Dutch note in regard to bring
dispatched yesterday to The Hague.
The contents of the note are kept
strictly secret as the first publication
of the text is intended to be made In
Parliament, Monday, Feb. 3. Great
Britains reply is not in the nature of
a direct negative, though il is not un-
likely that it will have that effect.
While Lord Lansdowne probably will
leave a loop-hole for further sugges-
tions, he doubts the ability of the Boer
delegates to control their fellow coun-
trymen.

A POLITE REFUSAL.
Great britain willing to Agree to
any Authorized Proposal.

London, Feb. 1.-Wiring from The
Hague, the correspondent of the Daily
Mail, says the reply of Great Britain
to the Dutch note concerning peace in
South Africa is a polite refusal to the
request that permission be granted for
a commission to proceed to South
Africa.
"The lack of any authorization by
the Beers has proved fatal" saws the
correspondent. but the door Of nego-
tiations is not wholly closed, since
Great Britain's reply affirms the will
ingness of that country TO agree TO
any authorized proposal tending the
conclusion of peace"

Authentic Dress Goods Information

Clipped from the DRY Goods Economist the
back bone of the dry goods business. It fits TO nicely
our immense stock II didn't you would't
our name.
It must always be understood when talking of
seasons business that the vast majority Of materials
offered are necessarily of the palmer varieties. The
plain cloths zibenez solid colors piece dyed, usually
form nine-tenhs of the market production. However,
even these palmer weaves whether perfectly smooth
nap finished follow, to a certain extent the forms OF
the fancy materials of such a and are simply
palmer copies of the more novel forms introduced by
the higher forms of manufacture.
This season, however, the preponderance is in the
fancy end of the business. The great French manu-
facturers have suddenly turned their attention to
variety of weaves and constructions which it is quite
possible for all of the world-Germany England and
America to initiate, copy and modify in every pos
sible quality and construction.
VAST RANGE FOR CUSTOMER
The ideas are the conservative forms, rarely enter
inc into too striking or too remarkable effects. The
great American taste of black and white has confined
the majority of the merchandise of this character to
black grounds with white weavings, followed by mix
lures of navy blue, brown and in cases even with
garnets which the French have taken up so strongly
