Establishing q Precedent.

the following: Joseph b. Fowler was dis
missed last Saturday from his position as
Chief Of the Pension Division Of the
Third Auditors Office of the Treasury
Department. Yesterday he was appointed
az q third-class clerk in the same division,
q position without classification OF the
Civil Service. This appointment raises
another question for the Civil Service
Commission. II is said to be illegal on
the ground that Fowler's dismissal severed
his connection with the Government ss
completely as if, instead Of being chief. be
had held q higher Office. On this ground
1t is claimed he could not be resppointed
without going through Civil Service exam
nations and being legally certified. Should
the Commission decide that the ap-
pointment is o legal one the door will be
opened indeed for filling the offices with
as many Democrats as any official could
desire. The head of the bureau can now
remove his chiefs of divisions, and fill
their positions by an appointment under
the precedent made in the case OF Fowler.
These appointees can be reduced to clerks.
The removal of the latter il creating q

programme followed until any number OF
clerical positions are filled. This would

A Chinaman's Revenge.

Lung, an aged Chinamsn. called at Chas
Loves saloon at 8 O'Clock yesterday after
noon and had a glass Of beer and refused
to pay for it on the ground that Loves
son Allie owed him for laundry work. An
| alteration ensued, and the Chinsman was
pushed out. He turned and broke . vial
| Of a compound in Allie Loves face. The
latter was taken sick in less than two min
utes with commissions. A canvasser of
rubber stamps happened in and saw the
trouble, and at once procured an antidote,
which undoubtedly saved the life of the
young man, though he is still very weak,
and the pupils Of his eyes are distended in
size. Two doctors called and said they
would not have known what antidote to
have given. Lung will be arrested on the
charge of assault with attempt to kill. The
fumes made everyone in the room sick.
The poisonous compound is known only
to the Chinese and Japanese religionists.
Labor Troubles.
PITTsBURG, June 3.-There is but little
change in the aspect Of the iron workers
strike to-day. The strikers appear indif-
ferent and are awaiting results, and the
manufacturers are taking advantage of the
"shut" to either repair the machinery or
take stock. At l o'clock this afternoon
Secretary Weeks reported that no more
manufacturers had signed the scale. No
interest ia manifested in the nailers' scale.
Nailers say they do not at pre- ent expect
any signatures to their scale, as the manu-
facturers agreed on two months to shut
down at their Last meeting. The closing OF
the mills has, therefore, no significance.
At Vulcan, Iron Mountain, a row &C.
cured in Walter Maloney's saloon on Sun
day night, during which Maloney shot two
Italians, one fatally. A mob OF Italians
drove Maloney and his family out of the
building and blew ii up and set fire to it.
Maloney narrowly escaped l~ynching.
