Extravagant business asser- tions often lead to disas- trous results. Both are in- dulged in for the purpose of assuming to be what one is not. That ‘‘Time always exalts the Truth’’ is being daily verified in our ‘‘mat- ter of fact’? way of doing business and truthful way of saying things. We never indulge in extravagant asx sertions or in extravagant expenses and never in ex- travagant prices. We ren- der it quite unnecessary that wearers of good cloth- ing pay extravagant prices in order to dress faultlessly. Our neat Jai/or made suits in the nicest and newest patterns. at the prices of common clothing are cer- tainly a step towards finan- cial relief for those who have heretofore been too extravagant. We have suits, coats and vests in all lines of goods, all styles of cut and down at prices which anybody can afford to pay. Have you seen our Elegant Blue Serge Suits at $10?

Dispute—Conference of Tory ST. PETERSBURG, June 10.—Within the last fortnight an appalling number of suicides have occurred in St. Petersburg and other Russian cities, the victims of self-destruction baving been mainly of the better class. To- day another studentin the Russian School of Mines sbot himself dead, and the motive for the deed is regarded as very wys- terious by his associates. The St. Peters- burg police, however, connect all these sul- cides with the recent arrest in Paris of the Nihilists, and ascribe them to the revelations contained lu the correspondence captured in the lodging- house of the conepirators. The Russian police authorities are now more than ever convinced that the Paris Nihilists were nected with a conspiracy in &t. Petersburg of wide ramifications and influential mem ver- ship against the life of the Ozar, and the at- tempt ofthe Minister of the Interlor to ob- tain through the French Ambassador the names ot those in correspondence with the Paris plotters will, if successful, unquestiona- bly keep up the average of suicides for weeks to come, unless it is reduced by the flight of the incriminated persons. Missionary Work in South Australia. Lonpow, June 10,—Advices by mall from South Australia contain indignant protests against the high-handed conduct of German missionaries in the Northern parte of Aus- tralia in their alleged efforts to inculcate Christianity, These complaints deciare that the natives are subjected to outrageous treat- ment, some of them being chained to posts and whipped into a state of insensibility, while others are maltreated in other ways, necessitating resortto medical treatment to heal their hurts. These acts of brutality, it is asserted, are committed by the orders of the missionaries with the object of impressing the natives with the power of the Christians. The Czechs and Germans. VIEWNA, June 10.—S8trong efforts are being made to reconcile the differences between the old Czechs and Germans in the Bohemian Diet. Emperor Francis Joseph to-day gave an audience to the leaders of the two parties and in his conversation with them His Majesty declared that the arrangements looking to a settlement of the difficuities adopted by the recent German Czech conference in Vienna would certainly be effected. This utterance was a departure from the Emperor’s custom- ary reserve and is expected to have a decisive influence in settling the long standing troubles between the two political parties. American Cattle in Mexico, MAGDALENA, Sonora, Mexico, June 10.—The proposed duty of $10 per head on Mexican cattic is leading to serlous complications. The Mexican authorities refuse to allow American stockmen to recover cattle which stray into Mexico, and have ordered all American cattle hereafter found across the line to be taken up and sold. There are many thousands of American strays, from the Gulf of California te the Rio Grande, which will be confiscated unless the order is canceled. American cattlemen bere are much alarmed. Death ef Ex-President Chammorro. GALVESTON, Tex., June 10.—Advices re- ceived from San Juan-del-Sur up to the 10th inst. state that Gen. Pedro Joaquin Cham- morro, the leader of the Conservative party, and ex-President of Nicaragua, died on June 7, at Granada. The following day bis funeral took place. He was buried with military honors. Among those who attended the last sad rites were the President of the Republic and his cabinet. The Governor of Greytown, Col. Yreneo Del Gadilio, has been summoned to Magus to accept the office of Min ister of the Treasury. Vige- Growing in Catalonia. MADRID, June 10.—The farmers of Cataloni& have had poor success in an attempt to intro- duce American vines. They had converted some years ago much of their corn-growing land into vineyards to meet the demand for Spanish wine. Their native vines were ruined by the phylioxera. Then they planted the new varieties, mostly of American origin. These promised well, but were spolled by mildew and black rot, except in a few places where the crop was saved by repeated gpray- ing with a solution of sulphate of copper and lime. Austro- Hungarian Military Credits. Pesta, June 10.—The Imperial Minister of War addressed the Austro-Hungarian delega- tions to-day on the subject of the credits asked by the Government for military pur- poses. He said he regretted to be compelled to declare that the military credits submitted to the delegations couldn’t be reduced. The budget before the delegations only repre- sented the foundation upon which building must be continued during the next few years. Important augmentationsof the military for the Empire were reported favorable. Coference of Tery Leaders. Loxpox, June 10.—Well-founded rumor make lt seem probable that the leaders of the Government party will hold an important con- ference with reference to the pending Pariia- mentary business at the Carlton Club on Thursday.

J COLUMBUS, June 10.—Eyerything is quiet in the street car strike to-day and both sides are apparently waiting for the other to make a movement. No attempt is being made to run cars and the strikers af@ quietly iounging about the different barus ot de company. The directors of the Conm f announced last night that a full L the board would be held to-day, but t bed not got together at 11:30, and no prediction as to what the next movement will be can be made at this time. There is no excitement on the street, nor is there any evidence of a compromise. Moalton Kesignue, HAVERHILL, Mass., June 10.—Wm. O. Moul- ton, general organizer of the International Boot and Shoe Workers’ Union, bas resigned that position, declining the re-election con- ferred at the National Convention at Roches- ter. In his letter he adds that he sees no good reason why he should not return tothe — and put his shoulder to the wheel with theran and file. He is ot tbe opinion, he says, that to serve too long in the above official position has the effect of making one too conservative. The U. F. "Gives In, OMAHA, Neb., June 10.—Vice-President Hol- comb of the Union Pacific has acceded to the demands of the freight conductors, brakemen and baggage masters of the road.

CHICAGO, III., June 10.—An afternoon paper prints the following: ‘‘Last Saturday the funeralof John Buske, who died suddenly, was boli at his residence, and after services the body was carried to the cemetery. While the body was lying in thé casket the friends had remarked at the lifelike appear- ance of the face, but the doctor had pro- nounced the man dead and the sorrowing relatives did not feel like going contrary to his opinions. When the cortege reached the cemetery some one suggested the coffin should opened. The lid was screwed down, but notwithstanding that a tapping from the side of the coffin indicated that there was life there. As the body was being lowered into the grave the tapping was more pronounced, but the people had assembled for a funeral and it had to take place. The coffin dropped into the grave, the earth fell on the casket and inasbort time the little mound covered the secret fora time only, for yesterday the coffin was remeved and examined and the body showed that the victim had been murdered through the care- lessness of the attendants. Buske’s body was twisted; his features distorted, his tongue bigten nearly in two and his finger nails imbedded in the flesh. There was every indication that @ horrible struggle had taken place.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL, SENATOR EDMUNDS’ BILL DISPOSING OF MORMON CHURCH PROPERTY. © The Silver Question Discussed in the Senate —Mr. “Plumb’s Amendment—Working on the Tariff Bill—Ulerks for the Land Office—Chief of Secret Service—Con- gressional Proceedings, WASHINGTON, D. C., June 10.—Senator Ed- munds introduced a bill to-day providing that all funds or other property lately belonging to ox in the possession or claimed by the corporation of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, to. which it shall appear there is no lawful private right, shall be devoted to the benefit of the Public Committee on Schools in Utah, the money to be disposed of by the Secretary of the Interior In such manner as shall seem. tohim tobe most expedient. The Su me Courtof Utah is invested with authority to make all necessary and proper orders and decrees for this purpose. After the United Supreme Court rendered its annulling cherter and 2 to the United States the property of the Mormon Chureh, it withheld the decree lo the case through a de- sire to find the best method of disposing of the confiscated property or of finding private ownerstowhom it might be reverted. The object of Senator Edmunds’ bill is to declare by Congressional enactment to what use the money and property may be devoted and to relieve the court of ite embarrassment. Clerks fer the Land Office. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 10.—The Secretary of the Treasury sent to the Senate to-day an estimate of the Secretary of the Interior of an additional appropriation of $80,620 needed by the department for the employment of a force of clerks forthe Land Office and the rental of additional quarters for them. The number of additional clerks needed is fifty. In a letter to Representative Payson, a copy of which is inclosed with the Secretary’s communication, the Commissioner of the Genera! Land Office calls attention to the fact that within the last six months over sixty thousand more final entries have been approved than bave been received. There are still 240,000 final entries in bis office awaiting action. ‘fo dis- pose of these would require the most diligent work on the part of the whole office force for many months, providing no further entries were received. But itis belleved the number of entries received will be increased by the estabiisiiment of several new offices, and the arrearages will presen? remain for an in- definite period unless relief is afforded, thus jeopardizing and imperiling the Interests of settiers and causing them much hardship, ex- pense and inconvenience. Chief of the Secret Service. By Telerraph te the PostT-DISPATCRH. WasHINGTON, D. O., June 10.—The plac- ing of ex-Chief of the Secret Service John J. Brooks at the head of the same bureau in the Treasury again is not permanent. Col. Brooks is nicely situated in the customs ser- vice in New Tork, and much as Secretary Windom. would prefer him in the Secret Service he long ago stated that he would not submit to the appointment. he President's son, Mr. Russell Harrison, is the close friend of Thomas Furiong, while Secretary Windom has not yet come across a man who suits bim for the place. By the lst of July it Is quite likely that a chief will be determined upon. Canady’s Successer, WASHINGTON, D. C., June 10.—The Republi- can Senators will caucus to-night for the selection of & successor of Col. W. P. Canady, Sergeant-at- Arms, who retires on the 30th inst. by resignation. The candidates for the position so far as announced are Messrs. Reade of Maine, 8 ton of Connecticut, Dunn of Delaware, Bailey of Pennsynvania, Swords of Iowa, Valentine of Nebraska, Reed of Minnesota, who have been heretofore named, and Gen. Lester 8. Wilson of Boze- man, Mont. It is possible that the caucus may go fartherin the reorganization of the Senate than the Sergeant-at-Arms, but of this there is no official notice. Abent the Paris Exposition. WASHINGTON, June 10.—The Secretary of State sent to Congress to-day a copy of a let- ter ofthe Commissioner General of the Paris Exposition for the United States, dated Hart- ford, Conn., June 2, forwarding his official report and data to complete volume 1. Gen. Franklin also incloses a me morandum show- ing the contents of four other volumes which willsoon be ready for transmission to Con- gress. The detalied statement of expenditures of the American Commissioners, called for by the law under which they were appointed, the Secretary says, will be forwarded at the earliest practicable date. Federal Buildings Bill. WASHINGTON, June 10.—The delay in taking up and disposing of the thirty building meas- ures that have gone through the Committee of the Whole House is occasioned by Speaker Reed, who fears that if these bilis are taken up and passed now the three dozen members of Congress who are interested in them will get up and go Into their respective districts. The Kansas City bill is among them and prevents Congressman Tarsney from taking a well earned yacation. Working on the Tariff Bill. WASHINGTON, D. Os, June 10.—The Repub- lican members of the Senate Committee on Finance at their meeting this morning went through the wooland silk schedules of the tariff billand took up the sundries schedule. None of the schedules have been turned over to the Democratic members yet. It is said this is due to the fact that none ot the sched- ules have received final action from the Re- publicans. The Republicans have not de- termined whether they will maze an elab- orate report on the bill or not. Opposed to the Commission, WASHINGTON. D. O. June 10.— E. B. Stahl- man, representing the Louisville & Nashville Railroad Co., made an argument before the House Committee on Commerce to-day in opposition to the Dill giving the Interstate Commerce Commission the power to fx rates upon railroads.

Senate bill gran available for the payment ot the public deot (including such as are Nee for the redemption of United States notes) shali be refained in the treasury in excess of $110,(00,000 was amended on motion of Mr. Harris by adding to it the words Provided that the gold and ajiver coin and gold bullion in the treasuryoh which gold and silver certificates have been issued shall not be considered avaliable for any pur- pose exceptthe redemption of such certifi- cates.’ In opposition to Mr. Plumb’s amendment Mr. Sherman said the effect of it would be to leave only a working balance of $10,000,000 in the treasury. He regarded the amendment very faulty, first, because it disturbed funds 1 by public faith; and, second, because t would require the Secretary of the Treasury to carry on the operations of the Government with a working balance of $10,000,000.
