Footing.

EOOtluE.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE annual
report Of Commander G. L. Dyer. COM
mandant and naval governor of the
island Of Guam, which was approved
by Secretary Morton to-day, says that
there remains a vast amount of work
to put the administration of the colony
on satisfactory modern footing. The
people are poor. ignorant, very dirty
in their habits. but gentle and very
religious"
Commander Dyer does not think
Americans will be willing to live there
permanently.
Commander Dyer is of the opinion
that the revenues Of the island will be
sufficient TO carry on necessary public
services, such as schools and roads
The public schools we're opened last
June, with moderate attendance. The
construction of a lighthouse on Grote
Point is recommended. The prices of
the necessities of life are very high,
and change in the tariff is considered
necessary.

Smoking Jackets

II you are going TO give HIM a smoking
jacket for Christmas, this is the place to buy
il. The assortment is so extensive that you
are sure 10 find the color you want at the
price YOU wish to pay.
Furthermore, the garments were made by
Us in our own workshops from material pur-
chased direct from the weavers. We select
ed only pretty patterns when we chose the
goods; and through making them ourselves
we can save you the middleman's profit,
which is from s2.oo to $500 on a garment
II YOU could have seen the crowd OF
women in our store buying smoking jackets
last week, you wouldn't for a minute doubt
the values we give.
The value is apparent to anybody. The
jackets we sell for $500 will cost at least
$50 in any other store. The proof is in
the merchandise.
We have them in golf cloth, covert. vi
cuna, tweed and cashmere, all double faced
materials, the plaid inside of the cloth being
a different color, thus when folded over
forming the trimming for pockets, cuffs and
collar We also have them in matelasse.
The colors are black, brown, garnet navy,
green, tan and olive, in plain shades and
mixtures. The prices are S400, $500,
$3.50, $3.50, $3.50 and $1,000.
The chest measure is all that is necessary
in selecting the size.
This picture was sketched from life from
a group of models who had put on the gar
ments taken from our stock for the purpose.
While the sketch is accurate, it fails to give
a correct idea of the garments. You must
see the harmony OF color in the gar
ments themselves to properly appreciate their
beauty.

consuIs Oppose Raisuli's Advance.
Mr.. Perdlcdris frankly says that Mr.
Gummere, the American consul general.
and the British minister at Tangier are
strongly opposed to giving Raisuli any
authority He pays high tribute to the
American and British officials. but
says he thinks their opposition to
Raisuli is the natural result OF the
trouble he gave them during the cap
tiyity incident With the exception Of
these two Mr. Perdlcaris says, the for
eign representatives approve Of the
plan Of supporting RaisulTs course.
During the interview Mr. Perdlcaris
gave the following description of
Raisuli:
"He is a man Of large stature and Of
commanding appearance His dark,
heavily bearded face usually has an
expression of sternness, but 1t lights
up when he speaks. He wears a white
turban and flowing white and blue
robes, which constitute the garb Of q
Moorish gentleman. as distinguished
from the rough costume of the noun
taineers. | believe him to be serious
" sincere. His taking me prisoner
was part OF a political movement. and
the demand for ransom was due to
revenge for a series Of prosecutions
against himself and family"
The representations Of Mr. PerdicaFis
promise to receive serious attention
from the officials and parliamentary
leaders owing to his intimate knowl-
edge OF Moorish affairs. He also speaks
as president of the foreign organiza-
tlon at Tangier and brings letters to
