BRAZILIAN TARIFF RATES.
Measures to Effect nm Increase of
Import Duties.

Import Duties.
The State Department gave out yester-
day the following report from Consul Cen
eral Seeger at Rio de Janeiro, on the pro-
posed tariff increase in Brazil:
There is strong movement among the
members of the Brazilian congress now In
session to materially increase the import
duties No change in any specific duty is
proposed; the measure contemplated is
what would be called in the United States
horizontal raise of the tariff. 1t is to
be effected through a statute ordafninS
that a part of the duties must be paid in
gold.
1T is said that, the finance commission
of congress, which has the matter under
advisement, will at an early day. recon-
mend that 10 per cent of the duties should
be paid in gold at par Based on the
present rate of exchange Tor. which is the
same. on the present market value of the
paper currency, there being no Brazilian
gold in the country, this would be equiv
alent to an increase of the tariff of %
per cent"

,.f.,e,,e-4rhe Old Home.,ead.-

Most people would be afraid to say how
many times THE Old Homestead has
been seen here and few would venture
to prophesy how many more times IL Will
be seen in the future. The play seems
destined to something like immortality.
The cast this year is practically what IL
has always been. Denman Thompson does
the part which he originally created his
presence not only adds much to the pro-
duction in itself, but seems to have in
fused new snap and spice into the rest
of the company There was an atmos-
phere about the presentation last night
which has not been observed In some OF
the performances in which he has not
been seen. 1t was genuine New England
atmosphere and the piece ceased to be
a caricature and became real life, despite
the preposterous introduction OF The Old
Oaken Bucket song by lot of supposed
hungry lawmakers. Next to Mr.. Thomp-
son in Importance, of course. was VIII M.
Cressy, in the role of Cy Prime. This
actors work is invariably good. and this
time it is, if possible a shade better than
usual. 1t cannot be said that John Bar
ker. as Eb Ganzy. fully sustains the repu-
tation of that individual, nor is Annie
Thompson quito the equal of Blanche
Dayne in the part of Rickety Ann, but
Mrs. Louisa Morse does her generally de-
lightful work as Aunt Matilda. while Gus
Kammerlee, as Frank Hopkins. and Fred
Clare, as Jack Hazard, are entirely ac-
ceptable There Is some new scenery in
the production, and more or less new
business.
