used expressly for dyeing, if not edible, but
which are advanced in value or condition
by refining, grinding or other process of

The Jones amendment increasing the duty
on sulphuric ether from 50 to 40 cents,
nitrous ether from % to - cents and fruit
ethers, oils or essences from 81 to 81 were
agreed to.
Mr.. Aldrich moved to increase the duty on
crude glycerine from / cent to 3-4 cents
This amendment precipitated considerable
debate The present rate was cents. Mr..
Jones said that soap manufacturers (glycer-
Inc being a by-product of soap, like Proc
tor and Gamble OF Cincinnati. testified. in
1883, that l cent afforded sufficient protec-
ton. According to the price at that time 1
cent was 10 per cent; on account of the re-
duction of price now IL was 20 per cent.
Mr. Aldrich contended that > cents was a
revenue duty. To reduce 1t to l cent would
saCrifie 100000 of revenue. The Aldrich
amendment was lost, 1877. Mr. Lodge
moved to increase the duty on refined gly-
cerine from to cents. A duty of I
cent on crude, would, he said, break up the
production of crude glycerine in this coun-
try. If duty on refined were to stand at 3
cents its manufacture would be impossible
except by a reduction of wages. Glycerine
N manufacturers testified that the difference
on duty between crude and refined should
be at least 3 cents. The amendment was
lost, 2i-32.
Mr.. Aldrich moved to transfer indigo and
its extracts from the free list to the duti-
able list at three-fourths Of a cent per

NO PROSPECT OF WAR,
Nothing Serious Looked for From the
Braxil-POrtuguese Break.

1t is the general impression among diplo-
mats and military men that there is no
prospect of war resulting from the sever
ance Of diplomatic relations between Brazil
and Portugal. 1t is no unusual thing for
NATIONS and particularly South American
nations. to withdraw their diplomatic repre-
sentatives in case of disagreement with
some other power. About six years ago :he
diplomatic relations between Great Britain
and Venezuela were suddenly and rather
harshly terminated by the summary with
drawal of the respective ministers. That
was owing to a dispute over the boundary
line between Venezuela and British Guiana
which dispute, by the way, is still unsettled.
Only few years ago President Cleveland
very suddenly furnished Sir Sackville West
his passports. yet no war resulted. 1t Is, of
course. conceivable that ii matters are
and ill-temper is allowed full sway hostil-
tiles may result. But there are certain
facts that render this unlikely. In the
first place, there is the warm feeling of
consanguinity between Portugal and Brazil,
which was not strained by the peaceful sep
aration of Brazil from her parent country
Then the two nations are far apart and
lastly, neither is in such financial condition
to warrant the assumption that she
could easily procure the vast sums of mon
ey necessary to conduct war, for the
venture loans in a cause which might end
by disturbing the balance of power in
Europe itself. Should IL come to a question
of naval strength for this would necessarily
be a naval war, the BraZilans would have
much the best of 1t.

A Bill to That Effect Favorably Re-
ported I'm the House.


Chairman McGann of the labor committee
of the House today reported favorably the
bill to make the first Monday in September
a legal holiday, to be known as Labor day.
1.-The use of national holidays" says the
report, lis to emphasize some great event
or principle in the minds of the people by
giving them a day of recreation in COM
memoration of ii. By making one day in
each year a public holiday for the benefit
of workingmen the equality and dignity Of
labor is emphasized. Nothing is more i'm
portant to the public veal than that the
nobility of labor be maintained. So long as
the laboring man can feel that he holds an
honorable as well as useful place in the
body polite so long will he be loyal and
faithful citizen. If the farmers. manufac-
turers and professional men are Indifferent
to the measure. or even oppose Ii, that
would constitute no objection, for their work
can be continued IL they desire it,"
The legislatures of twenty-three states,
the report says. have made this day le-
gal holiday, and the committee recommends
that its observance be legalized in the same
manner as February %. Fourth of July and
other days that are set apart by United
States statutes.

MINISTER BAKERS DEMANDS.
He Says Nicaragua Has Agreed to
Them.

Provided the Nicaraguan government car
ries out its agreement with United States
Minister Baker the incident growing cut
of the murder of William Wilson, an Amer
lean citizen, at Rama, Nicaragua will be
peaceably and satisfactorily settled. Wilson
was murdered, without provocation, by
Arguelas. then governor of Rama. AppAr-
emily the Nicaraguan government felt that
it had done all that was necessary in de-
posing Arguelas and replacing him by
Gov. Torres. Upon the urgent representa-
tions of Capt. Watson of the San Francisco
the Nicaraguans finally arrested and con-
fined the murderer. but there the case rest
ed. and Nicaraguan justice seemed to have
exhausted itself. Acting under Secretary
Gresham's Instructions, however, Minister
Baker insisted that Arguelas be promptly
tried for the murder and be punished sufi-
GENTLY If found guilty. In addition, the
minister held that ArgUelas had been shell
tered by Torres, his successor as governor
of Rama. and that the latter, having failed
In his duty. should likewise be punished
Minister Baker reported to the Department
of State today that the Nicaraguan govern
ment has met his demands in a friendly
spirit and has promised to bring the two
men to prompt trial.

PRINTING OFFICE CHANGES.
Mr.. Benedict BusiIy Engaged with
the Long List.


There seemed 10 be something Of a let-up
when a Star reporter called at the govern
ment printing Office this morning. For once
there was a breathing spell of a few mo-
ments during which there were no other
callers than the newspaper man. Mr.. Bene-
let was engaged IN poring over q large BOOK
arranged on a bookstand by his desk ana
in which are written the names OF all the
employees of the office. Mr.. Benedict ran
his eye up and down the pages and occa-
sionally Jotted down a name. but whether IL
was OF clerk who is TO go, or to be re-
tained. no man can tell.
Mr.. Benedict is constant in his expression
of regret over the fact that he is compelled
TO discharge 50 many people from the gov
ernment printing office. He claims how
ever, that there rs nothing else for him 10
do, and that the action of his predecessor in
appointing half again as many people as
were needed for the work I'm hand compels
him, Of necessity. to cut down the force 10
proper dimensions. He has expressed the
intention Of retaining the services OF peo-
pie who have served long terms of seryice
regardless OF changes Of administra tton on
account OF the marked ability which they
have shown in their special lines of work
There may be some renewals Of old-tims
employees, but these will be for cause only
No appointments are to be made to I'll the
vacancies caused by discharges that are
made TO reduce the size OF the force.
Mr.. Benedict has appointed II. b. HASTE
chief of the Interior branch, and he Will as
sumo the duties Of his office tomorrow Mr.
HASTE was assistant chief of the State
branch during Mr.. Benedicts former admin
lsratlon, and Is an old printer OF the sort
that Mr.. Benedict says he likes TO have
about him. A. +. Sardo has been appointed
foreman of the press room. in place Of Fore
man Auer who resigned when Mr.. Bene-
dict was appointed. Mr.. Sardo was removed
from this position by Mr.. Palmer Eve years
ago. He was foreman of the press room
when Mr.. Benedict was appointed in the
first Cleveland administration. and was re-
tained in office during his term. The resig-
nation Of Mr.. Avon Pearson. foreman of the
Congressional Record. has been asked for.

Chairman Wilson Welcomed.

The entrance of Chairman Wilson of the
ways and means committee into the House
this afternoon was the signal for a spon-
taneous oUtburst Of applause. which grew
and swelled as the members throughout the
chamber caught sight of the well-known
form and features of the tariff leader of
the House. In an instant the business of
the House was suspended, and members
f1ocked around the West Virginian to well
come him back to Congress and congratu-
late him on his recovery Ii took some
time for the chairman to restore order and
direct the business of the House into its
proper channel

George F. Elliott. A young man named j..
b. Cropsy, from the law office of Charles

No race in recent years has attracted the
1884 has attracted. and the reasons for this
are plain. The very best horses in the
east will go to the post today and with
them will go three of the most valiant
champions of the world. There should be
at least $4,000 people at the track. There
win probably not be more than sixteen
starters and these have been culled from
field of forty-six, who engaged in January
last to contest for the $1,000 prize and the
hcnors OF the day. The fact that less than
a score remain gives unquestionable prom
ise that the race will be hot one. The
other thirty have gone back to their sta

quality of the present contestants.
In addition TO the grand field OF thorough

A remarkable illustration of the growth of the Furniture Business in Western Massachusetts is found in this great de- partment of our establishment
 Starting in moderate way, with few rooms devoted solely to Parlor Work, it has grown and expanded, until now six floors, containing sixty thousand square feet, are given up to this branch, which is famed throughout New England, and is the largest department of the kind out side New York or Boston, Our business Is not confined alone to Springfield trade, of which we enjoy large share, but ex- tends over radius of many miles in every direction.
 Visitors are always welcome, and an elegant passenger elevator renders each floor easy of access. ........
 The extensive lines carried in Parlor, Library Chamber, Dining Room, Kitch- en, Club and Office Furniture will at once convince our patrons of the immens- ity of this part of our business, and buy ing as we do in large quantities, we are able to quote prices much lower than those met with elsewhere. ..-a-...
