initely agreed upon the elevations OF their
Respective legations to the rank Of am
bassador.
This means that Mr.. l.. Hcngelmuller

The, elevations are made at tho same

power must, by etiquette, increase its
salary, though the United States has never
done SO.
Because of the necessary increase In
salary few OF the great foreign powers
place their diplomatic representatives to
Washington In the first rank. All of the
European capitals outrank Washington,

the United States alongside Germany and

the rank OF embassies has had much to do
in the choice of the men selected to repre-
sent those countries at Washington For
eign usage compels an embassy to main
tain more style than a Legation, and every
country which has increased the rank of
its representative to the United States has
also had to increase the salary OF tho Of
flee.
This Is ono OF the objections Russia had
TO raising her Washington delegation to
the rank OF an embassy. Russians action
in raising her legation was followed imne-
diately by the United States IN giving her
minister the same rank No increase OF pay

Honest IRE of Graf
ton Farmers at
Last Aroused.
WILL MARKET MILK IN WORCESTER
Brigham Syndicate REBEL
ed Against ByLong suf-
fering Producers Here.

Grafton, Sept. 9O-After five years
dissatisfaction. Grafton farmers have
arisen against the G. Brigham MIX
company of Boston, and today sent
their last lot of milk to that concern.
For several weeks the farmers have
been gruInbling. but not until one If
their number received sentence from
court for selling milk below the stand
ard, did the existing feeling appear
above the surface.
Tho last contract between the BrAg-
ham company and the farmers was en-
tered upon six months ago At THAT
time the former. agreed to allow %
cents a can for the milk, and have a
special car run over the Grafton and
Upton railroad for its transportation.
That part of the contract, the farmers
say, is all right, but Surplus" and the
freight Oh the milk. which, by the way,
the farmers had 10 pay, has to be Ia
ken cut OF the 25 cents. A man was
surplused at the average of 21s cents a
can, and the freight 15s, thus making
q cents the sum total for can Of
milk Sometimes it ran below this, ana
righteous indignation is the result.
Charles Lingley who has been the
company clerk here for the past six
months. was interviewed by Spy rep
resentatiye on the subject, but would
have nothing to say, only that 7 have
finished my job as clerk, and IN the fll-
ture my milk win go to Worcester,
where have secured a market
This seems to be the case with. all
the r.ilkmen, most Of whom Will send
their produce to Worcester market,
Only four men will continue to take
milk to the car, and 1t is doubtful If i
will be run after today.
This morning every man was present
with his load, put t on the car, received
check fol the month, and with few ex-
ceptions refused to take more cans. For
FIVE years the milk car has been run
ming over the Grafton and Upton, and
every SIX months the farmers met and
renewed their contract with the Boston
syndicate. who every time shortened
the circuit. until affairs have reached
this crisis.

FIGHT TO A DRAW.
Dave Sullivan and Joe Bernstein Are
Evenly Matched.


New York, Sept. SO.-Dave Sullivan,
the Irish featherweight boxer, and Joe
Bernstein, of this city, met tonight be-
fore the new Broadway A. c. for a 25
round battle at 1913 pounds. Both fought
fast and furiously. Bernstein, who was
a favorite at 100 to 80 in the betting, had
slight call for the first three rounds.
After the fourth round Bernstein lost
some of his steam and Dave put both
hands to head and body with good eff
| feet. Sullivan was weak before dozen
rounds had been fought, but he re-
cuperated quickly. For several rounds
the blood was dripping from Sullivan's
nose and mouth, but he pummeled
Bernstein hard over heart and kidneys.
They kept the fast pace up until the
limit was reached. The referee decided
the bout a draw.
