viii not Change His Opinion.
Chicago, March 3.-Considerable
aldermanic pressure has been brought
to bear on the mayor to secure recon-
slderation of his action in reducing the
fire and police departments. So far
from changing his policy he has deci-
ded to extend the reductions to all
other departments of the city govern
ment. There is some talk among the
insurance agents here to the effect that
their principals will withdraw or large
ly increase their rates. But no serious
result is anticipated from such action.
A special meeting of the council has
been called for tomorrow to consider
the whole question. .--

A Virginian M. c. Raising Cain on the
Floor of the House of Representatives.
Washington, D. c., March 13.-A
very disgraceful scene occurred in the
House while discussion was going on
in committee of the whole on the diplo-
matte appropriation bill, with Conger
on the floor, who was speaking in rela-
tion to the claims of a Southern post
master, when Representative Beverly
Douglass, of Virginia, came into the
House intoxicated and interrupted the
discussion. The chair attempted to rap
him down but Douglass continued to
talk incoherently and shake his fist at
Conger. Some Of the members made
an attempt to quiet him but he would
not stop. All proceedings were sus-
pended and the chairman directed the
sergeant-at-arms to make Douglass take
his seat, but the execution of the order
was resisted, and it was not until near
ly all the Virginia delegation gathered
around Douglass. that he would con-
sent to leave the floor. 1t has become
an almost daily occurrence for Douglass
to appear upon the floor in an intoxi-
Gated condition.
