TO ENFORCE THE EIGHT-HOUR LAW. The House committee on labor has agreed to report with some modification the Wade bill to enforce the eight-hour law on government premises. As modified the bill provides that eight hours shall constitute a day's work for all laborers, workmen and mechanics employed by the government, except in cases of extraor- dinary emergency arising in time of war or where it may be necessary to work exceeding eight hours per calendar day to construct pub- lic works, preserve property or prevent the de- struction of human life. In all such cases the employes shall be paid on the basis of eight hours constituting a day's work. Whenever any contract is made by the government for | the performance of any work the contracting party shall agree that eight hours shall consti- tute a day's work for all laborers, workmen and mechanics while employed on premises owned quired by such contract, provided that no la- borer, workman or mechanic be employed more than forty-eight hours in any six consec- utive days, except in c: of emergency, &c, WCALLA’S PROSECUTION ENDED. A Civil Suit to be Brought Against Him by Fireman Walker. Commander McCalla’s tribulations are evi- dently just beginning. When his trouble with Uncle Sam is settled he will be faced with a civil suit for damages brought by Fireman | Walker for $15,000. Sergeant of Marines Mon- roe was the first witness called yesterday. He recited the Walker incident in detail, Judge ad some extracts from the log of the Enterprise and announced that the case for the prosecution was closed. Mr. Menzies then asked that the government be re- quested to call the oilicer of the watch during the Walker episode. Assistant Judge Advocate Stayton objected, saying the testimony of the e officer, who was present at the time. on the subject. Mr. Choate said the question court. “They produced the officer of the watch before the court of inquiry. and why | should they not produce him now? Such a | course is entirely unprecedented.” A consil- tation was then held, and Rear Admiral Har- mony announced they would call no more wit- nesses, DIAZ WHIPS A LIAR. He Thrashes the Author of a Bogus In- terview With Patti. Attention was some time ago drawn in this country to some silly personal attacks made | against Madame Patti in a Mexican paper. | Apropos to these libels Mr. Ruben, the well- | known American artists’ agent, who accompa- | Ried Madame Patti to Mexico, has told the true—and a good—story. The libels consisted in the fact that Madame Patti was accused of calling Mrs. Diaz, the wife of the Mexican president, a ‘‘washer-woman.” The statement was grotesquely untrue, for Mrs, Diaz is a per- sonal friend of Madame Patti, and the false- hood was presumably only uttered in order to damage the great master in Mexico. President | Diaz, it seems, settled the matter in his own fashion. He sent a mei asking the editor of the paper to callupon him. The flattered Mexican Journalist came, and was then invited | to take a stroll in the garden, Duly arrived there the president, removing his coat, gave | the libeler a sound thrashing of the good old- | fashioned sort.

Sexton declared that the tenants did not want the measure and Maeart- ney alleged that it will destroy the landlords. Has the bill any triends at all outside the Irish oftice?

In point of fact, it may be truthfally said that it is without ap equal in this respect any where in the world, These averments are borne out by the figures given below, which are compiled from the sworn weekly statements printed in the paper on euch Monday in the year, and condensed from the sworn tabular statements showing the average daily circulation of the paper during the year 1889, published in Tar Sram on the 18th of January, 1890, Briefly stated, the points upon which the above claim is based are these: That— 1. The Star has three times the circu- lation of any other paper in Washing- ton! 2 The Star's circulation in Washing- ton is double that of all the other daily Papers publisbed in the city added to gether!! 3. The Star bas a larger and fuller circulation in the city where printed, im proportion to reading and purchas- ing population, than any ether news- paper im the world!!! 4. The Star has the largest regular and permanent home circulation of any lwoe-cent afternoon pauper in the United sgates 111 In support of these claims and to show the constantly increasing circulation of the paper, attention is invited to the figures following: PALLY CIRCULATION ry 1885-86-87-88-#9, ISS.

Of this number, 21,142 were delivered daily by regular carriers at the homes of permanent sub- scribers. The remaining 6,740 copies represent the sales over the office counter, at the news stands, end by newsboys. But of this latter number a very large proportion is supplied reguiarly to per- manent residents of the city living in lodgings, &c. (not householders), so that its whole circula tion may be literally said to be in the family circle. While its aggregate circulation there- fore gives Tue Sran a distinctive ant enviable Position in modern journalism, the fullness of its home circulation, the extent to which it is relied upon by members of the houschold, and particularly by the pure chasing portion of the community, are the marked characteristics of the paper, to which no other daly journal now published can furnish a parallel. This is no idle boast on the part of the paper. It isa well established fact, demonstrated to the full satisfaction of the sagacious and enter prising business men of Washington, who seek and know where to find THE LARGEST RETURNS FROM THE MONEY PAID OUT FOR ADVERTISING. This is proven by the growth of Tur Stan's advertising patronage. Nothing can more surely illuftrate the esteem in which any article is held by the public than a constantly increasing demand for it—day by day, week by week, month by month, and year by year,—in the face of ad- verse claims and pretentiouscompetition. The figures following tell the story on this point: NUMBER OF NEW ADVERTISEMLNTS ©RINTED Et 1885-S6-87-S8-3H, 1886. 1SS7.

And this, it mast be remembered, consisted exclusively of the ordinary everyday business advertising, nothing in the way of tax sales, poll lists, election returns, etc,, such as occasionally swell the business of political organs, being included im its patrom- age. . In conclusion, it is only mecessary to say that, im proportion to the extent and high character Of ite circulation, Tar Stan's advertising rates take rank with the very lowest in the country, and to add, finally, that every statement hereir made can be abundantly verified THE CIR CULATION OF THE PAPER IS SWORN TO, ITS PRESS AND CIRCULATION ROOMS ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, AND ITS BOOKS MAY BE INSPECTED BY ANY ONE HAVING 4N INTEREST IN THEIR EXAMINATION.
