Carpen. ter, Ben Hilland Sharon are dead. Surveying the chamber, and missing Blaine, Conkling, Hamlin, Wallace and numerous others whom he was wont daily to see, the ex-Senator ex- claimed, “is this the place where I spent twelve Years of'my iifer” But among the successors to 1s old senatorial associates Mr, Thurman re- cognized many old acquaintances and some warm friends. Col. Jo. Blackburn was one of the first to cordially greet the venerated demo- eratie leader, and io none did the latter give a more cordial rasp. Blackburn has been a favorite with Mr. Thurman sinee the hot politi- gal contest of 1876, For an hour or so Mr. ‘Thurman held a regular levee on the demo- cratic side of the chamber, republicans as well ‘as democrats pressing forward todo btm senor, The Naval Academy.

PARNELLITES UNITED AND FIRM. The Tories Determined to Fight Home Role ENGLAND FIRM TOWARD GREECE STRIKE ON THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC Another New York Street Railroad Strike, ——— THE PARNELLITES FIRMLY UNITED. Parnell Determined that Nothing Shall Preeede the Home Rule Question. Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR Lonvox, Feb, 18.—Great uncertainty exists throughout all parties concerning the immedi- ate action of the government on domestic matters, Allsigns confirm the anticlpation of the introduction of a home rule resolution rather than a detailed bill, which would give opportanity for endless disputes. Parnell’s motion about the distress in Ireland will doubtless suggest an appropria'ion of a part of the remaining church fund for relief purposes. I can state positively that it is Parnell's inflexi- ble determination that nothing shall precede the home rule decision in one form or other; also, that all rumors of the resignation of Bis: gar or Healy, or danger ofa split in, the Irish party may be disregarded. Externally, at least, e greatest unity prevails. > GREECE UNDERSTANDS ENGLAND.

A DISCOVERY WHICH MAKES PROF. TAYLOR'S BUTTER TEST ALMOST USELESS, CoueMEvs, O., Feb. 18.—It is announced that Prof, Weber, of the chair of agricuitural chem- istry, state ‘university, has just made an im- portant discovery in chemistry in connection With the microscopie tests to distinguish oleo- margarine from butter. Recently Dr. Thomas Taylor, of the department of agriculture, an- nounced at a meeting of mucroscopists that butter placed under a microscope showed round crystals marked by plain cross, which could be ioand nowhere else. When the polar- ers are used with the microscope these butter crystals, Which are in reality only globules of tat, show four parts each, two green and two yellow. Tue chemical to distinguish be- iween “buiter und oleomargarine ts very dell- cate, the only difference between the material muatiers appreciabie to chemists being that butter contains a small amount of butyric acid which is lacking in the oleomargarine. This Lest is not aiWays successful, and ‘as the differ- ence was likely to be wasned out by enterpris- ing oleomargarine manucaeturers, Dr. Taylor's discovery was heralded far and wide, and the test_was adopted where Known, Prof. Weber discovered that the mixing of a litue water and salt with the ole process it always undergoes, causes the bogus butter to develop under the microscope exactly such “crystals” as are found in the lezitimate article, and the same result can be obtained with pure tullow treated in like manner. This discovery destroys in a great measure the usefulness of Dr. Taylor's discovery and strengthens the po- sition Of the oleomargarine mauulacturers, a A Lively Breach of Promise Suit.
