Perhaps there has never been a season when the relations between employers and the employed, especially in the building trades, were more harmonious than the presen The work day of eight hours is practi- cally observed in all the building trades, and this condition has been brought about with- out any friction between the two parties in in- terest. On the Ist of April the plasterers be- gan to work eight hours and on the first Mon- day in May the carpenters followed suit, the bosses as represented in the puild- ders’ exchange deciding in favor of the eight- hour day for those trades where it was not already in operation. In a number of cases the painters employed are given the eight hours. The plumbers and tinners do not have as yet the shorter day, but in instances where the eight-hour workmen are engaged on 4 building the same hours sre made to apply to all the trades. The stonecutters work eight hours, but recently they have asked the bosses to make the payments of wages at regular intervals, and at a meeting of tue men on Saturday night it was reported that this request had been granted. The stonemasons employed on the new city post office lust week called the atten- tion of the Treasury Department to the employ- ment of allenx on that work, and the position was taken that as these men were paid a jess rate than the union men that the contractor was enabled to evade the eight-hour law. A reply wus received from the supervising architect of the treasury stating that the request had been forwarded to the contractor with certain recommendations, the Exhibits, Secretary Herbert has given orders for the detail of ten marines from the U. 8. §. Chiengo | for duty at the world’s fair, as a special guard of the important historical papers in the State Department exhibit. This was done at the re- quest of the State Department officials, who thought extra precautions were needed for the Protection of these precious documents. Secrc- tary Herbert has also ordered the majority of the oficers and crew of the U. 8. 8. Michigan, now at Chicago, to duty on the brick batile ship Illinois at ‘the exposition, so that it may be properly equipped and manned for service, the same as if at sea. The sailors will also be employed in guarding the regular naval ex- hibit at the fair. Ss Death of a Treasury Watchman. James Wallace of Newport, Ky., who was a watchman at the Treasury Department, died of erysipelas at Freedman’s Hospital yesterday morning. His remains were forwarded to his home this afternoon at 2 o'clock, over the Chesapeake and Obio railroad. SOCIAL MATTERS, ‘The President’s Summer Home—The Com- ing of the Spanish Infanta. President and Mrs. Cleveland will go ont to their country house in all probability within the next week. The mansion repairs are now about finished, but there is considerable yet to be accomplished in getting the stables ready. Mrs. Cleveland is personally looking after the work about the place, and drives out there nearly every fine day. When it is all finished the house will be in many respects. much more attractive than Oak View was in its day. ‘The arrangements for the reception and en- tertuinment of Princess Eulalie and the Span- ish royal party are fast reaching completion. It is understood that the party almost imme- diately after landing in New York will be brought to Washington ona special train. When ‘here the party will have rooms at the Arlington during their entire stay.

Both are enthusiastic over the World's fair, and outside of the numerous social engagements of their davs and evenings they gave every possible moment to the exposition. Mrs. Lamont is in town for a few days and is at the Arlington. Mir. and Mrs. J. B. Henderson will give a din- ‘ner on Saturday next. The Russian minister, Prince Cantacuzene, has cards out for a reception tomorrow night at 10 o'clock to meet the Russian grand duke, who is in this country with the Russian fleet. The British ambaseador and Lady Paunce- fote entertaimed « company at dinner last night. Owing to the unpleasant weather last Wednes- day evenirg Mrs. Imogene BR. Morrell’s infor- mal reception was postponed till this evening at 8 o'clock at 804 E street northwest. Lovers of music and art cordially received. Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Horn gave their last re- ception of the season at their residence, 1813 Corcoran street, on Thursday evening.” The guests were first entertained with the presenta- tion of the amusing farce, “My Fellow-Clerk,” by the Young People’s Dramatic Club, the characters being taken by Mr. H, J. Horn, Mr. Goldwin Patten, Mr. Clinton Walcott, Master Willie Walcott, Col. Walcott, Mr. Percival Payne, Miss Patten. Miss Maude Walcott, Mirs Katharine Patten, Miss Blanche Walcott.

FE. J. Hannan and M. I. Weller, who bad m: the protest before the Commissioners, claiming that in this action they had been prompted by Mgr. Satolli. In the afternoon Rev. Scott F. Hershey of the Sixta Presbyterian Church occupied the plat- form and madea brief apecch indorsing the work of Mr. McNamara. During the course of the lectures there was only one slight interruption, and that came im the shape of @ slight hiss from one corner of the hall when the speaker announced that be was here to fight the Cath- olic Church. The hiss, however, was enough for the speaker, and he called on the “hisser” to show himself, denounced him asa snake, and announced that he would prosecute to the full- est extent of law any disturber of his meetings, Mr. McNamara also announced that he would appear in the Police Court this morning to vee what ould be done for some boys who had | been arrested for distributing his bills.

Lawyer Royce, for the boys. claimed that they were not engaged in anything unlawtul, but his honor told bim that it was an unlawful and that he had fined a number of per- doing just such things. ‘The ,boy« stated that they did not throw the bills away on the streets. but simply left them at the doors of the houses. Lawyer Royce took the stand and testified that he happened to see the boys, but only saw them hand the bills to persons when the bors were asked to do so. Judge Kimball said that the object of the law was to prevent the indiscrimmate littering of the streets, It waxa good law und should be upheld, The boys were technically guilty, but their personal bonds would be taken, although he would warn them against repeating the offense.
