TIIE AXn-OTTIOX BILL LT HARD LUCK.
Washington-, May 27. Yesterday's
Senate calendar gave, under the head of
"unfinished business" Mr. Dolph's hill to
provide for the punishment of violations of
treaty rinhts of aliens. In to-day's calen
dar that bill appeared in its regular num
ber, near the end of the order of business,
liaviiig lost its place by the action of the
Senate yesterday iii talcing up Mr. Stew
art's bill for the free coinage of gold and
silver. This bill now occupies the "point
of vantage" as the unfinished business, and
that position it may occupy for an indefin
ite period. Mr. Morgan's resolution on the
tnbjcct of the currency stood at the head of
the subjects taken up uudcr rule 8, so that
the question of silver had precedence to
day over every other subject.
"When the routine morning business was
disponed of the calendar was taken up,
under rule S; but Mr. Morgan voluntarily
abandoned his right and consented to have
Ids resolution laid aside without action.
Tiiat having been done, the business on the
calendar was proceeded with in regular
order, under rule 8. Among the bills
paed was the following:
To re-classify and prescribe the salaries
of railway postal clerks. (The rates fixed
are: First class, not exceeding $S00; second
class, not exceeding $1,000; third class, not
exceedinc 51,200; fourth class, not exceed
ing 51,300; filth class, not exceeding ?1,500;
sixth class, not exceeding M.liOO, and
teventh class, not exceeding $1,800.)
His Silver Hillon Deck Asaln.
At 2 o'clock the presiding officer (Mr.
Paddock) announced that the morning hour
had expired, and that the Senate would
now take up the unfinished business, being
the bill to provide lor the tree coinage of
gold and silver. As no Senator took the
floor, the presiding officer stated that the
bill was still open for amendment. Xo
amendment being oficrcd, he announced
that the committee of the whole was dis
charged from its further consideration, and
" that the bill was now belore the Senate.
That Matemeut first attracted the atten
tion of Mr. Sherman, who rose and said lie
knew of several Senators who desired to ad
dress the Senate before the matter was
passed upon, but who ucre not prepared to
do so to-day. He himself desired to speak
on the bill, but be had sent to the Treasury
Department for certain information with
out uhich he would not like to proceed.
lie therefore suggested that the hill should
j:o over till Tuesday next, unless some
Senator desired to speak to-day.
Sherman and StPW.nrt for It.
Mr. Stewart suggested that there should
1)0 unanimous consent given to take the
bill up from day to day until it was con
cluded; but an objection to that proposal
was made by Jlr. Sherman, on the ground
that there was a very sparse attendance of
Senators. ,
-Then," said Mr. Stewart, "we had bet
ter so on and vote to-day."
"I do not care," said Mr. Sherman. "I
certainly will not speak to-day. Alter the
vav the bill was taken up it would be just
in keeping if the vote were taken now."
"That gratuitous thrust by the Senator
from Ohio," said Mr. Teller,"with some as
peritv, "is entirely uncalled for."
"The proposition itself is entirely un
calledfor,"nasMr. Sherman's no less angry
retort.
"That is another question," said Mr.
Teller. "The pettifogging of the Senator
i-oiu Ohio hardly befits the occasion: So
boclv has pretended that we want to cut off
upbafe. it the senator lrom Ohio wants to
debate the bill nobody on our side proposes
to cut ofl'dcbatc. We are willing to do
what is always done in the Senate that is,
ii hen any Senator says that he wishes to de
bate a subject, to give him time and oppor
tunity. The suggestion that we take the
vote now was made upon the theory that
nobody wanted to debate the bill."
A Postponement for Several Days.
Mr. Sherman I have said that several
Senator desire to speak upon it, and that I
desire to do so. Bat I do not wish to speak
to-day, because I am in search of informa
tion which I expect to get by Tuesday.
There is uo ground for the remark that
nobody desired to speak. I have said that
several Senators do. The Senator from
Kansas desires to speak, and he is not pre
pared now.
The Presiding Officer Do I understand
the Senator ironi Ohio to move to postpone
the bill?
Mr. Sherman Yes; till Tuesday, at 2
o'clock.
Mr. Stewart ofiered two amendments to
the bill, and they were agreed to. They
were to make the denominations of the
certificates as provided in the third section
ironi Si up to 51,000, and to strike out the
clause carrying an appropriation.
The pres.ding officer said that the hill
would be considered as still in committee
of the whole, and asked whether there was
unanimous consent that it be laid aside.
flic Matter Clinched by Mr. Stewart.
Mr. Sherman said that that was not neces
Fary, as the bill would come up under "un
finished business."
"Yes," said Mr. Allison, "if no other
bill be taken up in the meantime and take
Us place as the unhnished business."
In icw of the possibility that such a
thing might happen, Mr. Stewart asked and
obtained unanimous consent that the bill
be taken up as the unfinished business on
Tuesday next at 2 o'clock. That being
definitely arranged, there was a brief ex
ecutive session, and then the Senate ad
journed till Tuesday next.
ANTI-OPTIONS' BLACK EYE.
Jur. Hatch's Pet Bill Gets a Blow A Tie
Vote Defeats Its Consideration for
A while Ho Will ISeturn to the Attack,
1 hough.
"Washington-, May 27. The Hatch
nnti-option bill received its first defeat in
r the House, to-day, on a motion of its author
to go into the committee ot the whole for
the consideration of revenue bills. The
r- anti-option bill was the first revenue hill on
, . the calendar in the order of consideration,
ljut the House, by a tie vote of 108 to 10S,
lefu.sed to take up the measure of the
gentleman from Missouri. To-day's ac
, tion, however, is by no means vital in its
ciTcct on the bill, as the measure merely re
tains its place ou the calendar subject to an
other motion of like porteut by Mr. Hatch
at some subsequent date. Whenever the
House proceeds to the consideration of rev
enue bills, the anti-option bill will be the
first one taken up, and as it is the intention
of the Ways and Means Committee to call
tip other tariff" measures during the present
session there is little doubt the bill will
finally have its day.
On motion of Jlr. Cockran, or New York,
a joint resolution was passed to correct a
clerical error in the Mclvinley tariff act,
p whereby a duty of from 15 to 50 cents a
pound is imposed on sweetened chocolate,
and fixed the duty at 2 rents a pound.
Curtailing Public Document Printing.
The House then went into committee of
the whole, Mr. Lester, of Georgia, in the
- chair, for the further consideration of the
Miudry civil appropriation bill. The pend
ing amendment was that ofiVrcd hv Mr.
.Richardson, of Tennessee, limiting the num
J" ' bcr of copies of public documents which
may be printed by heads of bureaus without
f express authorization bv CongressL
t?. Mr. Bichardion and "Mr. Hatch, of Mis-
souri, were appointed tellers, and the vote
was a very close one. It seemed at first
that the amendment would be carried, the
affirmative having a majority of four votes.
Mr. Andrew, of Massachusetts, demanded
an announcement of the vote. Mr. Hatch,
from his place as teller, said that the gen
tleman had no right to interfere. The
tellers had not yet made their final report.
Mr. Andrew You attend to your own
business, and I will run mine.
A few stragglers then passed between the
tellers, and" the final announcement was
made that the amendment was rejected
91 to 93.
Mr. Richardson then offered the same
amendment with a modification which ex
pressly excepts the Department of Agricul
ture from the limitation. Agreed to with
out opposition.
The Philadelphia Mint Solid So Far.
Mr. P.ichardson offered an amendment
providing that no document distributed by
an executive department shall contain any
notice that the same is sent with the "com
pliments of an officer of the Government."
Agreed to. The committee then rose and
reported the bill to the House.
The first amendment voted on was that
striking out the appropriation of $620,000
for a new mint building at Philadelphia.
The amendment was rejected yeas, 87;
nays, 116. Mr. Holman moved a reconsid
eration, and Mr. Bingham moved to table
that motion. Mr. Bingham's motion vas
carried yeas, 107; nays, 74 and the appro
priation lor the mint remains in the bill.
The remaiuing amendments were adopted
in bulk, and the bill (which has consumed
almost three weeks of the time of the
House) was finallv passed.
Mr. Hatch, of Missouri, was instantly on
his feet with a motion to go into committee
of the whole on reenue measures the first
of such measures on the calendar being the
anti-option bill. This motion was antag
onized by gentlemen desirous of proceeding
with the appropriation bill, and Mr. Hatch's
motion was defeated by a tie vote of yeas
10S, nays 108. The vote was so close that a
good deal of excitement ensued.
Sir. Hatch Yields for I ho FreBent.
Mr. Hatch said he would yield gracefully
to the result, but he gave notice that when
the postofficc appropriation bill was dis
posed of lie would ask the House to con
sider the anti-option bilL
The House theu went into committee ot
the whole, Mr. Buchanan, of Virginia, in
the chair, on the postoffice appropriation
bill. Mr. Henderson, ot North Carolina,
in charge" of the bill, briefly explained its
provision.
Mr. Blount, of Georgia, criticised the
Postmaster General in establishing the free
delivery system where it should not have
been established, and of neglecting locali
ties which were entitled to it. There had
been a perversion of the free delivery fund,
and yet this larmer at the head ot the de
partment came forward with declarations
of his interest in rural delivery.
The committee then rose," and it was
agreed that the general debate on the bill
be limited to to-morrow's session. The
House then took a recess, the evening ses
sion for the consideration of private pen
sion bills.

Henricks Music Company, tlm.
Some time ago we ordered a large stock of
pianos in expectation of our warerooms be
ing completed. The instruments are arriving
daily, and, although our sales have been
brisk for the last few days, we are still
crowded. Owing to some remodeling we
are doing to the old part of our building
only one-half of our immense wareroom can
be used therefore it is impossible for us to
find place for the hundred pianos now ar
riving. However, we propose to clean out
all our old stock at prices which will startle
even the closest buyers. This Is a forced
sale and consequently prices will be slaugh
tered. Snch world-renowned pianos as the
Weber, Wheelock-Llndemanand Stuyvosant
will be included in this sale. We have also
a large stock of organs, all new, which will
bo sold from $50 up. These are bargains
which buyers will do well to investigate, as
they are bona flde. and first comers will get
the choice. Remember the place,

Hundred Acres, Including- a Stone
Quarry, for $10,000.
PLENTY OP FRUIT AND POTATOES
Chairman Perry, of the Committee on
Charities, has received another offer of a
Poor Farm for the city, and from the price
and description given it seems to be just in
line with what the Mayor and many others
claim is the proper size and cost of a farm
suitable to the .city's needs. The offer is
made by Mrs. A. B. Porter, of Shouse
town, and the farm is situated at Anderson
station, on the Pittsburg and Lake Erie
Bailroad. Mrs. Porter's proposition is not
properly made, however, and unless she
conforms to the city's advertisement for a
farm by presenting a sealed proposal,
couched in the proper legal terms, giving
the city a 60-days' option, the offer will not
have an opportunity ofbeingconsidered. The
proposal is made in evident sincerity, how
ever, and as the time for receiving bids will
not close until 2 o'clock next Tuesdav after
noon, she may intend to present a formal
iitt
The description of the farm and the offer
made is best given in Mrs. Porter's letter
given below:
Thomas E. Terry, Chairman Committee on Chari
ties: Dear Sir I offer to the city of Pittsburg
for Poor Farm purposes, a farm of 100 acres.
well improved, beautifully located and
sloped, in a fine state of cultivation and the
most productive farm in Crescent township
(the apples and potatoes in tho cellar at
present will prove tho assertion). Tho farm
is well piovided with runs and springs and
there is a good stone quarry on the prem
ises. The property Is accessible bv a well
graded public toad and is located 16 miles
below Pittsburg on the Pittsburg and Lake
Erie Railway, one-half mile from Anderson
station.
The farm is known as the "V. S. Ilarper
farm, which I will sell for $100 per acre. Ic
has never been previously offered for a Poor
Farm site. If more acreage is desirable I
ftvill sell 20 acres adjoining the Harper farm
at the rate of $75 per acre. I will also sell, if
necessary, a beautiful river front of eight or
ten acres, the finest between Pittsburg and
Beaver, for the sum of $1,800. With this
river frontage the farm would be admirably
suited for the purposes required.
If the committee desires to see tho place
we will provide conveyancesat any time
they will appoint, and will also ask the com
mittee to accept or reject the offer within a
reasonable time, thereby giving us an op
portunity of disposing ot it to other parties.
Yours respectfully. Alits. A. B. Porter,
Shousetown, Pa.
FLOWERS FOR THE DEAD.
Schoolhouses Filled With Blossoms and
Flants Contributed by the Pnplls for
Decoration Day Aronsing Patriotism
in the Breasts of Tonne America.
The graves of the soldiers should be hid
den in flowers on Monday, judging from the
wealth of blossoms brought by the school
children of the two cities yesterday. The
little ones are always pleased to do their
part toward honoring the nation's dead, but
they have excelled themselves this
year. Nearly all the contributions
were potted plants, comprising the many
annuals that shed fragrance and brighten
with their varied colors the old Smoky City.
There were a few bouquets among the offer
ings, but very few. Some of the older chil
dren, who did not care to bring plants, gave
money, with which the principals of the
schools purchased flowers. There were no
particular exercises in connection with the
reception of the flowers. They were taken
from the children and placed on the great
stone steps in front of the buildings and ar
ranged along the halls. Ihey made a inass
of luxurious bloom and trailing vines and
brightened up the schoolhouses in a way
that is seldom seen. The children were de
lighted and many were the groups of little
ones that watched the flowers and expressed
their pleasure in the contemplation.
On the Southjide all the flowers were
taken from the various schools and placed
in the Humboldt school yard, whence they
were taken in the evening by Post 151 to
be used in the cemeteries Monday. From
the hill districts on the Southside Post 236
took the flowers, assisted by the ladies of
the G. A. K., while from Mt. Washington
Post 155 performed the same office.
In the old city the flowers were removed
from the schools by Post 41, of Lawrence-
ville, and Post 117, of the East End. In
Allegheny Posts 88 and 128 did the pleasing
work
It was the custom, some years ago, for
the members' of the posts and the ladies of
the Grand Army t6 visit each room in the
schools, take the flowers from the children
and thank them. This was a laborious
task, however, and occupied the whole day,
so the easier plan was adopted of placing
the flowers on the steps, where they could
he taken by the posts at once. It pleases
the children to see the soldiers come, and
the spirit of patriotism that is a natural
outcome of the ceremony, is stirred up in
just as healthy a manner as under the old
order of things.

It will be money out of your pocket if you do. Every word costs money, and every word means business. We. can't afford to
spend money advertising unless the advertisement brings us increased sales. Advertisements soon lose the power to attract
customers unless the public finds that the. advertisers do what they promise to do, and avoid misstatements and
11 . gross exaggerations. We at all times Challenge All Skeptics to Bring OurAdvertisement and see for
themselves if we do not offer the exact articles at the EXACT PRICES ADVERTISED.
