The
First Invoice of our Large SPRING STOCK has Arrived,
With a Big Dot more to arrive on next boat.
We bought early this Spring, and, therefore, saved money, as goods are advancing
and merchants who buy now will have to pay these advances. A great many goods we
are selling for less than we did last season.
We have a big bargain to offer in pure all Silk Ribbons, all the latest shades,
very wide at 5c. and 10c. a yard. The" regular price on these ribbons is 10c. and 25c.
A fine lin$ of Ladies’ Percale Wrappers, from 90c. up.
In DRESS GOODS we are showing the Finest Goixls that ever was in the city ;
the newest patterns and styles in Plaid Goods, imported Black Mohair and many others of
the very latest imported goods.
As usual, we have an enormous stock of Fine Calicos, Percales, Duck Goods and
Shirtings, which we bought before the big advance on cotton goods, and consequently
can give you the advantage of our good buy.

Mail advices received by the State De
partment from Edward H. Conger,
United States Miuister at Peking, show
that he has not been acting jointly with
the representatives of other powers to
compel the Chinese Government to sup
press the “Boxers” and other anti-foreign
societies. He has been making vigorous
representations to the Tsung-Li-Yamen
in behalf of American missionaries, but,
so far as the authorities are are in
formed, he has not threatened that the
United States will land troops in China
should the “Boxers” be allowed to con*
tinue their operations. Such a threat, if
made, would certainly be disavowed by
this Government. The authorities un
derstand that the German government
has made representations to the Tsung-
Li-Yamen, and it would not be surpris
ing if it should have declared its purpose
to protect foreign missionaries in Shan
Tung Province, and its troops at Kian
Chou are available for this purpose.
