WASHINGTON, May G.-1he Representatives of the
t0baccOE-TOducing States have been waiting for sew
eral weeks for an opportunity to secure action by
the House OH their bill reducing the rate of tax OH
tobacco.
Ever since this reduction was proposed and espe-
cally since the Committee on Ways and Means re-
ported favorably bill this subject the manufac-
turers of tobacco have been complaining that their
business has been injured by the uncertainty which
has existed. Nobody has been willing to manufac-
ture tobacco to purchase il in large quantities as
long the possibility existed that the tax would be
reduced SO per cent. Manufacturers of tobacco
have not been united during the whole of the SEES
sion in the demand for the proposed reduction.
Some Of the larger houses, especially in North Caro-
Ina, have preferred that the present rate of tax
should be retained. 1t now requires large capital
to manufacture tobacco on an extensive scale, much
Il this capital being required for the purchase of
stamps. which can only be obtained for cash. This
excludes persons with small means from the busl-
ness, and gives TO the large houses a sort of mo-
nOpoly.
Notwithstanding this difference of opinion
amongst manufacturers, the bill prepared by the
Committee on Ways and Means, when introduced
to-day by Mr. Shelley, of Alabama, under a suspen-

WASHINGTON, MAY G.-The President has in
tended for sometime to nominate Ex-Governor
Packard to be Consul at Liverpool. He offered the
Mace to him once before the Colectorship at New
Orleans was filled but Mr.. Packard declined it,
hoping to get the position now held by MIR. Smith.
1t possible that he may accept 1t as 1t Is one
of the most desirable cOnsulates in the gift of the
President. The blue book sets the compensation
down at So 600 year. but the Office is supposed TO
be worth certainly $4,000. In the days before
official fees were required TO be returned to the
Treasury, the consulate at Liverpool is said to
have been worth $50, 900 q year. but of late years
if has always been rated as Office the fecsO
which amounted to between $4,000 and $4,000.
Most of these are now required TO be turned into
the Treasury.
The appointment of Ex-Governor Fairchild TO be
Consul General TO Paris is in harmony with the
theory of Civil Service reform announced at the
State Department. Ii had been determined that
Mr.. Torbert the present Consul-General, should be
removed. He has not given satisfaction and Is not

Herman Schuster, respectable Ger man of St. Louis, woke the other day to find himself dead.

Every feature was lifelike and natural, the nose, the hair, mustache, facial scars, clothing, ali the exact coun- terpart of his own.
