We Have a
Way of Doing Things
Peculiarly our own. If we do anything

We have too many pairs of pants in
stock. We wish to reduce our stock. To
do this quickly and thoroughly we apply
the lever of "cut prices," and such a cut,

FIT?
Try on any pair your size from our complete
pants stock, and that question will always be
satisfactorily answered. So will the price. Here
you will find worsteds, cheviots and cassimeres
in pretty stripes and checks, bars, widewales,
plaids and sedate mixtures- made to wear, made
to fit and fit to wear anywhere.
And Still
They Come.
Seventy-four pair la the figure our sale of Men 'a Pants, at half
price, reached yesterday. At times our three clothing sales
people couldn't wrap them up fast enough. The steady drain on
the stock in our clothing department compelled us to take out
our window display of nearly one hundred pairs and add them to
the rest. Quite a strain on popular sizes and patterns was yes
terday's selling, and today's business will not tend to make
choosing any easier for tomorrow's customers. We are open in
the forenoon tomorrow ; after that it's turkey-eating with us.
Take the hint?

SPAIN WILL YIELD
UNDER PROTEST
Reply Will Be Made at the
Joint Session.
SPANIARDS STILL.
THINKING IT OVER
Administration Thinks at Least One or
More Joint Sessions of the Peace
Commission Will Be Held After
Tomorrow.
Paris, Nov. 22. The Spanish peace
commissioners last night telegraphed to
Madrid the substance of the United
States' memorandum presented yester
day, and late yesterday evening they
were discussing it among themselves.
As late as 1 o'clock this morning a Span
ish commissioner affirmed that his col
leagues did not know what to do regard
ing the American offer. There is a dif
ference of opinion among official people
near the commission, but the prediction
is that Spain will decline the American
offer of money. She will refuse to cede
the Philippines and will say to the Unit
ed States :
"You may take the Archipelago be
cause you have the power to do eo. As
you advance we will retire protesting
against the greedy ags?res9ion. j We will
faithfully fulfill our part of tbe pledge,
and leave Cuba and Porto Rico in your
hands. You came to engage in a dis
cussion under the terms of tle protocol,
but vou evidently meant, wien drawing
up that document, to provide a ' confer
ference in which, though w'e differ man
to man, you proposed to; announce at
the proper time?""what you would do
whether we agreeoltrirlj' object. . Such
an attitude robs the conference of a ne
gotiatiye character, and set up the
United States as a dominant power
whose first purpose istolAsten.but whose
ultimate determination is to do its own
will." ' (

Discussion By fne Cabinet
Washington, Nov. 2. At the cabinet
meeting today a brif)f cablegram was
read which had been sent from Paris by
Day. It was substantially in accord
with the newspaper reports of the pro
ceedings. ' j
The cablegram said the reply from the
Spanish commissionejrti to the latest
memorandum submitted by our com
missioners is expected at tomorrow's
meeting. No doabtf is entertained by
the members of tbe cabinet . that the
treaty will be signed' during the next
few days. j
The cabinet also discussed the Cuban
situation, and it was developed that the
Spaniards hope to bjs able to complete
the evacuation of Hdvana by December
20th.

New York, Njbv. 22. A dispatch
Paris says :

the World fro
"No one ca:
will do." Th
Ojeda, princi
18b . commis
forsee what the cortes
s was the answer of Senor
al secretary of the Span-
ion, when asked it the
American ultimatum would be accept
ed. Senor Montero Rios, president of the
Spanish commission, frowned as he
listened to America's final note as to
the joint session. When the reading
was ended he said curtly.
"Spain does not need until November
28th to answer. She will present her
reply Wednesday."
In the communication the United
States refuses arbitration but offers $20,
000,000 in gold for the Philippines, and
such a sum ad may be agreed upon for
an island in the Caroline group, or
enough land on a strong island for a
naval base and cable station.
The American commissioners proposed
to give Spain until November 28th to
accept or reject these demands, which
were translated in full at the session by
Interpreter Ferguson, but after Montero
Bios' remark about not needing so
much time, the joint session was ad
journed until Wednesday.
It was reported in: mediately after the
session that Spain had determined to
break off negotiations, but the World
correspondent's information rather
points to her giving notice on Wednes
day that she accepted the American
proposals under protest.
The speech of Father Abraham in the
last number of Poor Richard's Almanac,
published by Benjamin Franklin in
1757, "Contains the Wisdom of many
ages and nations assembled and formed
into one connected discourse." When
first published it attracted world wide
attention and was copied in all the news
papers in America and England and
translated into many foreign languages.

REVOLT IN
SALVADOR SERIOUS
States Likely to Become Involved Reb
els in Possession of all Departments
Except Two.
New York, Nov. 22. A dispatch to
the Herald from Panama says : Late ad
vices from Salvador via Nicaragua indi
cate that the revolt is more serious than
at first thought. It may involve all the
five states in a general conflagration.
According to advices, the real object
of the movement is the overthrow of the
federal republic, which was organized
November 1st at Amapala. To accom
plish this Begalados called in the aid of
Gautemala and Costa Rica, who always
viewed the union cf Salvador, Nicaragua
and Honduras as a constant menace to
its sovereignty.
The rebels are in possession of all the
departments, with the exception of La
Union and San Miguel, the .latter a
stronghold of Horacio Villavicencio, who
is a candidate in opposition to Begala
dos. The federal government is hurriedly
mooilizing its forceB to march against
Hegalados. Honduras sends 4000 ; Nica
ragua, 300, and the federal district of
Salvador, 2000. The movement is backed
by capitalists, who are well-known mili
tary men. -
A cable censorship has been established
at La Libertad.
. Rushing Spanish Troops From Cuba.
Washington, Nov. 22. The Cuban
evacuation commission has made quite
extended reports to the war department
concerning the situation in the island,
relating largely to camps, conditions and
proposed sites for United States garri
sons, as well as suggestions as to sup
plies for the army and other matters of
detail which must be considered before
the army is sent to Cuba.
One of the most important features of
later reports is that the evacuation of
the island by the Spaniards may take
place sooner than at first anticipated.
The commission has been informed that
thirty Spanish transports are now on
the way to v Cuba, and that they will be
able to take away to Cuba, and that
able to take away a large numbre of
troops.
The war department is now making
arrangements to send troops to Cuba as
soon as the Spaniards evacuate, and will
be ready to occupy the different points
as fast as the Spaniards move away.
Navy to Be Made Ready.
New York, Nov. 22. A Washington
special says:
Though confident that hostilities will
not be resumed, Secretary Long has
made it a point since the . protocol was
signed to put the men-of-war of the serv
ice in the best possible condition. Dar
ing the latter part of last week instruc
tions were aent to the commanders of
the navy yards at which ships were un
dergoing repairs, directing them to ex
pedite the completion of the vessels in
order that they might be in condition
for immediate use should developments
in the international situation require
their employment.
