Washington, Jan. 22.--William Henry
Eustis of Minneapolis, who went to Hawaii
as special representative Of the treasury
department to Investigate and report on
the needs Of various cities as to public
buildings, was selected. for that mission
because something more was wanted Of
him than the mere designation of sites
for government offices. He was specially
commissioned by Secretary Shaw to in
vestigate the coinage and currency condi-
tions in. the islands and to make q spe-
cial report covering them. He did so, but
in the meanwhile congress and the depart
ment got busy and provided for recoinage

Strengthening out the financial difficulties
there. His report, however. will be filed
lat the department for reference and will
be available if the question ever arises

A motion on the part Of the conserva-
tives to table it brought on a long dis
cussion and many leaders of the two fac
-tions were heard. -"
The socialistic faction based their argu-
ments on the anthracite strike and tho
combination of coal companies and rail-
roads and that a tendency not to treat
with miners according to the laws Of
man or God,'' made it necessary for the
government to take some such action.
Delegate Walker of Illinois said that the
coal companies and railroads were now
in combination injurious to the interests
of the people and were holding back coal
to boost prices. -: ....
Delegate Lusk of West Virginia also
charged heartless attitude Of coal oper-
ators and railroads to not only the miners
but to the people,. .-.-
The controversy was ended for the time
on a motion of Chris Evans of Ohio to re-
fer the matter to committee.

sets legislature has been introduced in the house
by Daniel Leonard of Agawam. who asks that
the county of Hanpden reimburse him for the
loss of $4,000 which he claimed he lost throukl,

that after Smith obtained the, money from him
on April Ia, 1900. lie reported the facts to the
authorities, and Smith was finally arrested, III
dicted and bailed for $1,000. Smith then jumped
his bail and the money was paid into the Hamp-
den county treasury. A part of the sum. Leonard
believes, should be paid back to him for his eff.
forts in obtaining the arrest Of Smith. -.

scionable disregard of their cost and
grapes of gold outlined with dark green
silk cords complete the decoration.
Mention has been made before of the
close fitting crocheted sweaters which
take the place of the dawdy looking af-
fairs of former years, but an additional
touch of elegance has been given the
designs as shown in the Norfolk sweat
err. This has broad false plaits over
the seams and there Is a knitted belt
which can be loosely drawn around the
waist and fastened in the fashion OF a
Norfolk jacket. These blouses are very
comfortable fer walking or golf and
though costly when purchased hand
made. there are pretty substitutes
stitched by the machine and ranging
in price from $1.9S up Green, white
and bright red are the fashionable COL
ors.
A novelty is shown in sun plated
skirts. From twelve to fourteen inches
about the feet a sunplaited fan effect
is now set in the skirts and this breaks
the rather straight outline of the IA
miliar patterns. The result is a very
graceful skirt, much dressier than in
it's original form and adapted to all the
elegant uses of the wardrobe.
Gradually hats are appearing turned
into the queerest but usually becoming
shapes. A pretty compromise between
tricorne and colonial turban is shows
in dark brown scratched felt. The in
dentures are filed in with shirred satin
except In one instance when a large ro
over the side is a brown and white
pheasant's feather.
While the craze for hat trimmings
runs to flowers and fruits, buckles for
the high girdles now so fashionable are
shown in the form of tiny animals and
birds. Peacocks and pheasants are
favorite patterns and their outspread
tails encrusted with cimili diamonds
are very decorative and brilliant Bow
knots set with diamonds are likewise
pretty
A pretty little dainty for afternoon
gowns is the handmade bead portemon-
naies which are worked at all the sea-
sons colorings. They are finished with
silver or gilt buckles and are only
large enough for small change.
For Christmas gifts these little nov
elites are very acceptable as they will
be in vogue throughout the season.
