The craze that many British people
have had during the last IL months for
christening their children and pet ami
mails after some general, battle or town
figuring in the South African war has
frequently been commented upon, and
it is not surprising to learn OF the great
extent to which the custom has spread
into the greenhouses of the nursery
men. Many an officer who is at pres
emit or has been engaged in the great
Boer chase will return to England to
find further undying fame awaiting him
in the knowledge that some enterpris-
ing horticulturist who has discovered
novelty in the way Of flower or pant
has honored him by christening the,
floral baby after him.

prime favorite for that practice and is

MISS EDNA PORTER PHILAN-
THROPIST.

The prosperous financial standing of
the Porter family placed it well up in
the social scale. There were just three
of them. The head of the family, who
worshiped at the shrine OF the golden
calf; his wife, whose god was blue
blooded aristocracy, and Edna, the
only daughter of the house.
Miss Porter was not beautiful. No
society reporter could stretch his con-
science sufficiently to allow him to call
her even pretty" Tall and angular,
with heavy features and voice always
pitched to high c she did not fit in very
well with her surroundings. She was
clever enough not to aspire to shine
as a social star-which would inevita-
bly, have resulted In faflure-but in
order to receive the share of homage
due to one in her station in life" she
preferred instead to pose as large
souled, self-sacrificing woman.
Dear Edna cares nothing for frivol-
ity.' Mrs. Porter would say, with a
fond outward smile. but inward groan
for her daughters Representatives,
''She is so constantly interested in her
charitable schemes that she finds very
little time for society,"
Dear Edna was born to command
and would not behappy anywhere ex-
cept as the leading spirit She could
not rule the smart set, and she knew it
but she could manage a whole crowd
of charitably inclined persons, and, be-
sides gratifying her own personal love
of power, reap for herself the glory
of the name dear philonthropic Miss
Porter"

The annual adjustments of postoff1ce
salaries and allowances thus far made.
to take effect July / next, provide for
4,730 promotions of postoft1ce clerks, ana
for the appointment of 1890 add1tional
clerks at postoffices throughout the coun-
try With the adjustments yet to be
made at other Offices, these figures prob
ably will be swelled to about $500 promo

This adjustment will raise the. average
pay of the postoffice clerks by about 500,
as rs per cent of the promotions will go
to clerks in the lower grades.
Newspapers already are sending their
replies to the circular letter sent out by
the postoffice department asking whether
a departmental rule that will absolutely
stop all premium inducements for sub
scriptions would be regarded as injurious
to legitimate newspapers and periodicals.
All except one of the responses already
in warmly favor such a rule, the excep-
ton. being a request for further infor-

Been Settled.

PHILADELPHIA, April 16-The ia
nous hat trimmings case, which has
been the subject of a bitter legal battle
Tor several years between the govern
ment and number of importers was
settled in the United States distr ct
mere this morning. The settlement is
compromise on the part of both the gov
eminent and the importers. The i'm
porterS, Meyer & Dickinson, Coin. Adler
q Co, Tilge & Co., and Meyer, Ebeling
& Co., brought suit against the govern
ment TO recover, as. they claimed an
overcharge of duty on their imported hat
trimmings. The government claimed that
instead of being used for hat TRIMMINGS
the goods were being used for other pur-
poses, and that so per cent duty was a
proper rate to be charged
In the settle ment effected today the
government admitted that some of the
goods were hat trimmings and verdict
subject to a future revision by the col
lector of the port was rendered in favor
of Meyer & Dickinson for $5S, 200; Kohn
Adler & Co., $22,1o0, and Tilge & Co, $500

All the suits outside of this city have

CALIFORNIA MERCHANTS HARD
HIT BY TREATY BETWEEN
CHILE AND NICARAGUA
CHANCE FOR U. $. SENATE
TO Ratify a Reciprocity Treaty Al
ready Negotiated Between State
Department and the Managun
Foreign Office.

WASHINGTON, April 16.-One of the
results Of the failure of the reciprocity
treaties before the last session of con-
gresS, has been to draw forth number
OF protests from California against the
trade advantages which Chile now en-
joys i'll it's trade with Nicaragua, as a
direct outcome of just such a treaty
The state department has been informed
that a treay has been drawn between
Nicaragua and Chile which covers prac-
tieally the same ground as the treaty
drawn last year by Mr.. Casson, our spe-
cial penipotentiary, between the United
States and Nicaragua This latter
treaty, unlike most of the other reel
procity treaties submitted to the senate
for Its action, was never published and
still remains under the seal of conf
dence. So its details cannot now be OBJ
tanned but, as already has been stated,
it covers generally the ground covered
by the new treaty between Chile and
Nicaragua. 1t SO happens that the
United States has no trade treaty with
Nicaragua Of recent date and under the
old treaty, there Is no warrant for the
preference of a claim by our government
for equal rights with Chile, inasmuch
as we have not seen fit to enter into
similar special arrangements with Mic
aragua Now numerous protests are
coming in to the department from Cali
fOrnla, the business men JnGr6 alleging
that they are suffering severely in their
trade with Nicaragua, owing to the
favorable rates given to Chilean mer-
chants under the new treaty. The state
department, however, does not sec any
means Of satisfying the compliments,
save by again extending to the senate
the opportunity to ratify the treaty
already referred to as between the
United States and Nicaragua which win
cure the discrimination complained of.

FRENCH EMBASSY BUYS LAND.
Papers were signed yesterday by which
the French government acquires large
tract of land in the heart of the resi-
Dental section of Washington for the
purpose of building French embassy.
The site is on high knoll, short
distance west of Connecticut avenue
with frontages on and Twllty-second
streets and Decatur place, embracing
about 10000 square feet. This will give
by far the largest amount of ground oc-
cupied by any foreign establishment In
Washington, the British embassy
grounds occupying about 10000 square
feet The plans for the building will be
in charge of M Olivier Carr, staff arehi-
tect of the French foreign office.
