SchOfieId's Administration at West
Point n Failure.
CHICAGO, December 22.-The Inter
Oceans. Washington correspondent tele-
praphs that an army officer said to-day
that the Schofeld-G Gardner correspondence
might lead to an inquiry into the whole
matter, which incidentally would bring
out the fact that General Schofield's admin
istration at West Point had not only been
q failure in an educational point of view,
but that he had actually allowed prose-
cutting for the Roman Catholic Church to
go on openly. This army officer said that

Commons, yesterday, Anglin moved for
the correspondence respecting the ex-
pChulbuiO VI RlOO1OOO fOtCu ny Sdtldud
last year for the relief of sufferers in
Ireland. He said he had suggested last
year that the appropriation should be sent
to the Duchess of Marlborough, or the
Mansion House Committee, in order that
the hungry might be fed. The Premier
wished it sent to the Colonial office, and
we lave since learned that the money was
not expended for months, and was then
appropriated for boats and fishing outfits.
The motion was carried.

A DisgracefuI Scene.
WASHINGTON, December 21.-The dis
graceful scene in the House of Representa-.
tives this afternoon is the absorbing topic
of town talk tonight, and conjecture /.
rife as to what will be its consequence to
morrow. 1t is agreed on all hands that the
two principals in this most unseemly affair
must be subjected to the severe discipline
of a public reprimand by the Speaker Of
the House, and compelled to apologize fol
their supplementary language and con,
duet, on penalty Of expulsion in case Of
q refusal. The excitement in the hall dur
ing the progress Of the alteration, and
some minutes after, was intense and almost
beyond description. When Mr.. Sparks
roa-ed out: You are q scoundrel and a vii.
lain," in response to Viewers epithet Of
~"liar," Weaver rapidly walked toward him.

plunge his hand in his hip-pocket, as if to
draw a pistol. The members gathered hast.

House, and amid cries Of Order. Order, Ser

momentarily increased and it actually
looked as Il a free fight were imminent.

the fact that the House was in a Committee
Of the Whole, and that no motion to rise

tumult, and sternly pounding with his
gavel commanded order, and directed the
Sergeant-at-Arms to enforce it. This com.
mand was effectual and the parliamentary
forms of carrying out of the Committee Of
the Whole were then promptly gone through
with, and the House Immediately adjourned
until noon tomorrow. 1t Is proper to add
that the sympathy of the House, and the
enrrent OF popular feelings are mainly with
Weaver and against Spark; for the latter
manifestly provoked the violent issue and

WASHINGTON, December 22.-To-day both
Weaver and Spark apologized to the House
for their conduct yesterday.
