Washington, May 14 The .Brazilian
miuister received a dispatch- today from
' , Rio announcing that the president of
Brazil had enepended diplomatic rela
tions with Portugal and had ordered the
Brazilian legation at Lisbon to with
draw. It 18 said this is the-result of the

connection with Da Gama's surrender.
CONFISCATION FROM LISBON. .
Lisbon, May 14. The staff of the
Brazilian legation in this city has been
withdrawn and diplomatic relations be- J
tween Portugal and Brazil broken off.' i
It is difficult to see how. the Portugese
government can .conciliate Brazil, al
though this might be accomplished by
the surrender of Admiral da Garni and
apology. Portugal's pride will pr..;-tbly
stand in the way of such concessions. ;-

YEKKi, Cal., May 14, It is expected
the grand jury will today bring indict
ments "accusing. George Decker, a
wealthy rancher, of the murder of his
wife, Margaret Decker, and . Nevada
Decker, a babe, 27 years ago, and Rosie
Stone, a - granddaughter, about eight
years ago. Ten mnrders are-laid to
'Decker's door, as well as other foul and
unnatural crimes committed at various
times throughout Jthe last 30 years.
Several of these murders are susceptible
of proof, others are based on suspicion
more or' less well founded, though ia
some cases .it amounts to a moral cer-
. tainty. Besides the three named the
list comprises- Edward Stone, who was
Decker's second wife's son-in-law ; .Ben
jimin Decker, a son of Caroline Good
rich Decker, his second wile,; a 4-year-old
eon of Edward Stone; a hired man
in Sacramento valley,; name unknown.
and a man in Illinois, name unknown,
Decker killed his first wife and child in
' 1807, butchering them with bis own
hand and burying their bones on top of
a high ride. Their discovery a short
time ago.crystalized the belief prevalent
for some time that he was guilty of
manv astrocities, and led to his arrest
After his first' wife's death he married a
widow named Goodrich and lived with
her over 20 years, and is believed, to
have gotten rid of her family in 1S90 by
poisou. He disposed of one child who
bothered him in 1896. The murder in
Illinois is said to have been committed
before he came west, and the other in
Sacramento - valley after his arrival
His varlons relatives were killed because
they stoid in the wavpf. his gratifying
his desires, or knew of his crimes.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
The Coxey ites Deserting and. Coxey Dis-
. . couraged---Tariff Changes.
From our Regular Correspondent. ; '. i '
Washington, May 11, 1894.
; Jacob Scared Coxey is today the 'pro
per name of the leader of the widely
advertised, ".commonweal army." He
now' fully realizes that the conviction of
hirriBelf, Browne and Jones in the police
court leaves it in the discretion of the
judge of that court whether he shall
serve a sentence in jail, for the applica
tion for a new trial is certain : to be de
nied, and pending attempts to get the
case before a higher court sentence will
be pronounced and enforced. The law
which they ' were convicted of having
Violated provided either fine or impris
onment, or both, as the judge may de
cide.. It is believed that Coxey would-
now gladly promise to take himself and
his army out of . Washington if thereby
he can keep himself out of jail. Indeed.
the populist representative, Hudson, of
Kansas was one ot the volunteer coun
sel at the trial, tried to get him a hole
to crawl but. of by stating that Coxey
and his army intend to leave Waehing
ton as soon as he can get a hearing be
fore either a seriate or housa committee
in favor of his bills, and that he has no
affiliation with other so-called "common
weal armies" now on the way to Wash
ington. Coxey afterwards .denied that
Hudson was, authorized to say so much.
It is nip and tuck between hunger and
the health' officials as to which shall
succeed in scattering the Coxeyites,
The falling off in contributions ha
brought the men still iri camp down to
two rattier scanty meals a tiay, and the
health officials want, the camp broken
np as a sanitary measure, and .have
given Coxey a 48-honr -notice, which. ex
pires tonight, to put the cau.p in a sani
tary condition an. impossibility or re
move the men therefrom. Desertions
by wholesale are going on, and unless
the food supply is increased the "army
cannot lie held, together. another. week.
Coxey got a short hearing before the
honse committee on labor, but only sue
ceeded in making an ass of himself. '
: Penator Aldrich of Rhode Island thns
sums np the result of the democratic
tariff concessions: "There "are 40
amendments to the tariff bil', and en
analysi of them .shows some curious re
sults: Three hundred and twenty-eight
of them 'show an increnee in the rates,
ranging from 10 to 300 per cent. But
six of these amendments reduce duties
and two of these are on rice and two on
oninm, - The remaining changes 'are
chiefly in the phraseology of '.the - bill or
the transfer from the free to the dutia
ble list. Another notable fact is that in
nearly every case where these increases
were made ' the change was 'also made
from ad valorem to specific duties. If
these increases had been made with re
gard to the'requirements ot the different
industries from a protective standpoint,
the kill would have been a compara
tively goot one, but they were evidently

made in response to p'resstrre from cer
tain senators, and no such purpose gov
erned those who prepared the measure,
The height of the rate was evidently
fixed by the extent- of the pressure
brought to bear by rebellious eenators,
and .the result is that the inequalities
and anomalies of the bill as originally
reported are magnified and made promi
nent in the new bill formulated by the
mysterious conference, whose member
ship ia uncertain.
The democrats of the senate have con
ciliated the so-called "conservative'
senators, except Hill, of New York, by
the amendments to the tariff bill, but
they haye stirred up . a regu'ar hornet's
nest of opposition among the extreme
free trade senators from the south, and
the fihal result is as much in doubt as
ever. Senator Mills, who probably
comes as near voicing the sentiment of
the free trade element as any one sen'
ator, was goaded into making a few re
marks that created a sensation' on the
democratic side oi the senate, by a refer;
ence to . his recent speech by Senator
Aldrich. He started out by saying that
he was now a little nearer the devil on
the subject 'of the tariff bill than he was
when he made his speech the other day
in which he. said that he was between
the -devil and .the deep. sea. He said
that the bill was no longer the Wilson
bill, but should be called the Gorman
bill or the Brice bill, and declared, way
ing his arms in intense excitement, that
the senators who framed the compromise
amendments should not shirk their res
poneibility. for "every amendment, all of
wl.ich he intended to vote against. It
is understood that Mr. Cleveland has
undertaken the job of quieting the free
trade opposition to the amendments.
' Senator ATlen has , apparently been
trying to see how many kinds of a fool
he can make himself appear to be in
connection with Coxeyism. While
loudly declaring his lack of sympathy
with the movement he went into the
police court as Coxey's counsel and
showed how little of a lawyer he was.
Then he tried to get a resolution passed
in the senate to investigate the arrests.

APRIL FOOL DAY.
Uncertainty Besardins tbe Origin of the
. Custom of Playinq; Tricks. ,
The custom of sending one on a boot-1
less errand or otherwise "April fool
ing"' him on the first day of that month
is very ancient; yet it cannot truthfully
be said that anyone is equal ' to the
task of tracing it to its origin. Some
antiquarians profess to believe it a
survival of the travesty of sending the
Saviour hither and thither, first from
Annas to Caiaphas and then, to Pilate
and Herod. The opinion-is strengthened
by the fact that during tbe middle
ages that very scene in Christ's life
was made the subject of one of the
Easter "'Miracle Plays" enacted on the
chief streets of London and other Eng
lish cities of the first class..' Even
though the above opinion has received
the' sanction of Brande, -Moore and
Hone, it is not at all unlikely that it is
really a relic of some old heathen fes
tival, such as the Huli festival of the
Hindoos or the. Roman "Feast of
Pools." The custom, whatever its ori
frin, of playing tricks and pranks of all
kinds on tho first day of April is
universal throughout Europe, and is
also practiced in many other countries
and under various names. It is a curi
ous fact that the Hindoo Hull festival,
where April fool tricks of all sorts are
played, is held on the night of the 31st
'of March, and the orgies are not dis
continued until sunrise on . the morn
ing of-April 1. ' .

OPIUM SMOKING.
The Operation Described by One Who
Has Witnessed It. .
''Of course, everybody "has heard of
opium being smoked, but I doubt if
the majority of people know just how
it is done," said a Chicagoan recently.
"The smoker lies curled on a couch
with an opium lamp close : by, the
flame of which is protected by a glass
shade, -low enough for the point of
the flame to protect a little - over the
top. The smoker takes a little wire
and dips it into . a box of prepared
opium, called 'dope.' A small qpantity
adheres to . the 'tip of the . wire,,
which ' is then heW over . the.
flame of the lamp, - until by
the heat' it is swollen to several
times' its original size. This is . then
rolled over and over on the flat side of
the clay bowl, the opium all the while i
adhering to the - wire. .When it has
been rolled into a sott, soiia mass ic is
again applied to the flame, and this al;
ternate roasting and rolling is kept up
for seven or eight i iinutes, by which
time the 'pill is ready for use. The
bowl in tbe pipe is so small that it can
only receive the smallest quantity of
the drug, and the most careful manip-
ulation is required to transfer the tiny
ball of opium from the end of the wire j
. to the bowl of the pipe. ' After being j
lit a sputtering noise ensues as the '
smoker draws at the pipe. After each I
whiff he ejects the smoke from his
nose and mouth. By the end of the
fifth or sixth draw the pipe is empty,
and the operation is repeated until the
smolter sinks away into dreamland."
