to be expended under the direction and
with the approval Of the Secretary Of
War for the continuation and compile
ton Of the works designated in the last
river-and-harbor law.
Mr.. Willis briefly explained that 1t
had been thought best not to allow the
present works Of the Government to 60
to waste and ruin on account Of lack
Of appropriations. For this reason ne
had, after consultation with o number
Of gentlemen. brought in bill appro-
priating 5000, 900, or ono seventh Of
the amount which the corps oil en-
gineers had stated could be protitably
expended during the ensuing year. Inc
bill was submitted as q compromise be-
cause he knew that the discussion oil
the regular bill would consume valuable
time, and might endanger the passage
of other appropriation bills and cause
An extra session. After some debate
the motion was agreed TO and the bill
passed-yeas. 100; nays, 80.
Dir. Turner, of Georgia, called up the
contcsted-election case from North faro
lima in which the prima .fdc'o rlght oil
T. G. Skinner TO seat is involved, but
the House refused to consider 1t.
The Committee OH Appropriations
reported the post-oflice appropriation
bin with Senate amendments, with re-
port recommending concurrence in same
and non-currence in others OF those
amendments.
In order to prevent Mr.. Turner, oil
Georgia, calling up any contested cleo
ton case the Republicans demanded a
separate vote on each amendment, and
though the recommendations Of the APP
preparation Committee were in each case
agreed to 1.-THE clause relative to ocean
transportation was not reached), they
consumed the time till 5 o'clock, when
a recess was taken until p. NJ, the
evening session to be for the considera-
ton of pension bills.
The House, at its evening session,
passed thirty-six pension bills, and at
1920 p. NJ. adjourned.

WASHINGTON, February 27.-The
Senate. in executive session to-day, con-
firmed the following nominations
George IL. Craig, United States dis
trict attorney for the Northern and
Middle districts of Alabama, and Will
liam L. Scruggs, Of Georgia, to be Min
lister Plenipotentiary to the United
States Of Colombia.
The President has directed that the
number of internal-revenue districts in
the State of North Carolina be increased
from two to three. to be numbered
Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth districts. Isaac
j. Young has been designated as coll
lector of the Fourth district, and
Thomas n. Cooper as collector of the
Sixth district. 1t is not expected that
the vacancy in the Fifth district will
be filled during the present Admins
tration.
Owing to the heavy payments from
the public Treasury during the present
month for pensions and other obliga-
tons il is estimated that there will be
but small reduction Of the public debt
for February.

Moving Against the Anarchists ia
Switzerland.
lBy cable to the Dispatch

fBy cable to the Dispatch,
BERNE. February 27.-Later de-
yelopmentS seem to indicate that the
general police raid upon the Anarchists
throughout Switzerland early this morn
ing was not due simply to the antl-SO-
cialist legislation undertaken within the
past few days, but was rather precipi-
tated by the fact that the Federal Coun-
Gil has received positive information OF
a desperate dynamite conspiracy. For
some time past extraordinary precau-
tons have been taken to protect the
Federal Palace. These were induced by
apprehensiOns on the part of Govern
ment officials that dynamite outrage
would be attempted for its destruction.
1t was believed that the action Of the
Swiss Government in expeiling certain
Anarchists of the country had so an
gered the confreyeS of these red-handed
gentry, who had escaped expulsion, that
they would attempt to take swift
vengeance by some frightlul outrage.
These apprehensions, as the event
proves, were fully justified. The Fed
eral Council has at last succeeded IN
securing incOntrovertible evidence Of
the existence of such plot as had
been feared. This plot, as was anticl-
pated, was directed against the Federal
Palace, and provided for the explosion
of that structure by dynamite.
Arrests Of Anarchists continued to he
made in Berne throughout the day. Up
to early this evening thirteen had been
seized in addition to the ten who were
taken in the morning raid.

The ph,raAsIphsa Riot. Cou,,uued.

The philadelphia Riots Continued.
by telegraph 10 the Dispatcb.l
PHILADELPHIA, February 27.-Thc
riotous scenes in the kensington carpet
mill district were repeated tonight.
The crowd Of spectators, which before
has never exceeded five thousand peo-
pie, was increased to ten thousand.
Tonight the mayor had determined to
break up the riots, and nearly five
hundred officers were sent to the
scene Of disturbance. Mayor Smith
and ChiefofPolice Stewart were
both present. When the first de-
tail Of officers arrved at Lee
dom's mill it found the street
literally packed with people. After
ether attachments arrived double
line was formed, and, working each
way. they forced the crowd back for
square on each side Of the mill. As a
detail was being posted at each end Of
the street thus cleared crowd Of men
broke through the lines and attempted
to reach the mill door from which
Cameron, the loom-tixer. was expected
to come. The police, with drawn
clubs, charged on the crowds and sue
ceeded in forcing them back beyond the
lines. During this encounter many
persons were dubbed and five arrests
were made. Shortly after o'clock
five special officers, who were in citi-
zens' dress, drew up to the mill, and
Cameron, running quickly down the
steps, mingled with them. They
sauntered down Howard street,
with Cameron short distance ahead,
their object being to deceive the crowds.
They were successful only as far as the
police were concerned, for when the
line Of policemen at Dauphin street was
reached several officers rushed upon the
specials and their charge and were
about clubbing them back when they
succeeded in making themselves known.
When Cameron and his escort reached
Otis street the crowd was so dense that
police patrol-wagon had to be driven
down the street to open pasSage-way.
Several snowbslls were thrown during
the march to Cameren's hose, but the
loom-fxer was escorted to his home
without further molestatiNn.
