intended, however when attention was again
called 10 the presence OF strangers, that a di-
vision be taken TO decide whether the

charged with wasting time over the question OF
privilege; but the opposition to the Irish Peace
preservation bin was the real obstruction. The
irish members we're justified in opposing 1t. and
the government was equally justified In seeking to
have IL passed.
At this point Mr.. Disraeli was called to order for

The reason for the sudden removal OF prominent

Commissioner Douglass, who has for over six
years been esteemed as an efficient ofncer, IL is
said is not in the opinion OF the Secretary OF the
Treasury as capable a man he wished to pre-
side over the Internal Revenue Bureau, while
ex-senator Pratt, his successor, has the rep
utation OF being man OF great executive
ability and thorough In the details OF whatever
trust Is confded TO him. 1t is remarked that the
recent appointments are not likely to add to the
so-called brilliancy OF washington society, ana,
without comparing the new and old o1ice-hoders,
none OF the nve who have recently stepped up and
In will be swayed by the fashionable
world about the capital. Their qualiflca-
lions are enumerated as those OF plain,
practical business men, devoted TO duty; homey
in their socill life, and men VINO VIII not give way
to the custom developed here after the war, and
still perpetrated, OF giving extravagant enter

will greatly improve the social relations OF officials
and set the example OF having but few carriages
