MUNICH, June 22.-In the Bavaiian
Obelhaus yesterday, all the Princes
and Ministers being present, Herr
Neumyer read the select committee g
report on the career OF King Louis.
The report is a repetition Of the details
already published. 1t was proved in
tne report Iba. King LOUIS wanted to
sell Bavar a and buy kingdom where
of he could be absolute monarch. The
committee did not read the diary of
the late King, because, as they report
ed, there ives tuffic ent evidence Of the
fac already pres ented without the
necessity of further calculation on
that particular subject.
Ia the upper House Of the Diet to-
day, Count Gutenberg, Liberal, cIiti-
cised the government for it's delay in
dealing with the CUES len Of allowing
an insane monarch 10 sign state docu-

THE sPOILs SYSTEM .

The Democrats who would make the
civil service bill imperative and VOID,
justify their recreancy on the ground
that no party can succeed unless it di-
vides the spoils among the vietors
Experience has sh own that the distri-
button Of the Offices is the greatest
sourcs OF weakness to the party in
power. This i5 accounted for by JEFF
fersoD, who said that the President in
appointing a man to office made
eleven enemies and one migrate. The
history OF the country shows that
party prescription does not strengthen
the party that makes q clean sweep.
In 1910 Van Buren, was backed by the
army OF ofliceholders, as there was
not single Wing in office.
Still be was defeated Tor the
Presidency by an overwhelm-
ing msjoiity-clrried only four
States. In one months time Harrison
made c'ean sweep, but in 1874 Polk
was elected, notwith standing the fact
that all the offices we're held by the
WhigL Polk made the proverbial
clean sweep, and it is sa'e to say that
there was not a single Wing in office
at the Presidential election in lS4S.
But the Democrats were swept out Of
power by the tidal wave on which
Taylor was carried into the Preai.
denoy. The Democrats were not
bscked by the ofliceholders in 1862,
but Pierce was elected President by
an almost unanimous vote. The Rs.
publcsns secured control OF the
National Government in 1860 without
even Il spublican postmaster in Office.
Cleveland was elected President
when all the Offices were filed by
Republicans, In five OF the Congress
sional elections since the close OF the
war the Democrats have 81 cured the
control OF the House without parti.
Gle OF Federal patronage. And there
is today more danger of loss OF dis
tries owing TO dissatisfaction at the
distribution OF the offices than there
is from disappointment that more
have not been distributed. No party
can afford to make the confession that
IL is "here" mainly for the enjoyment
OF the Offices. The people expect
something else Of them. The Demo
cratic patty is not he'd together by

Cleveland is appointing Democrat tC
office as rapidly as the civil service
bill aud his pledges to the people will,
permit. At the end of his term there
will be no Republicans in Office. He
will have removed them, slowly 1t is
true, but according to law and the
pledges of himself and party-and
those Democrats who predict defea
in tho next Presidential election be
use there has not been a clear
sweep will discover that nearly every
Office has been filed by Democrat
aud that the Democratic party will b,
backed by colo array Of Democratic

Deadly Conflict on a Vessel.

A desperate conflict recently occurred be-
tween the crew OF a recruiting steamer and
the natives of the Island OF Malaysia. The
steamer, according 10 the reports, is in the
habit of making periodical visits to the Sol
ONION Islands for the purpose OF securing
natives TO serve three years apprenticeship
in Queensland and, if accounts are correct,
many Of the unfortunate men were given no
opportunity to say whether they desired 10
go, but were bodily carried aboard the ves-
sell However this may be it is certain that
the natives did not welcome the steamers
appearance on this occasion, and while the
captain, with two boat loads of men were
ashore recruiting, large party Of natives
boarded the vessel and attaked those on
board A terrible conflict ensued. The na
tives used spears and hatchets, and in q few
minutes live white men were lying on the
deck hacked TO death, while Mr.. Popham, the
agent, was killed in his cabin, his head be-
ing split in two and then hacked from the
body. Finally, some of the crew managed
to escaped to the rigging, where with fire
arms they killed about a dozen CT the at
tsckins party aud drove off the remainder.
When the captaa returned 10 his vessel an
The deck was foot deep in gore, and heads
and legs and trunks were scattered around
in all directions. For while the shock al.
most bereft him of reason. BY his dlrec-
tion the bodies Of the dead natives were
thrown overheard. and the steamer sailed
away to obtain the aid of the government
man Of war OPAL the remains Of the crew
being decently inferred in deep water. On
being appriscd OF the facts. tho Opal ut
once was headed for the island. The viii
lage from whence the attack was commenced
was shelled. All the people who came
in sight were killed and the houses burned.
The Opal then proceeded to Sendara Island
and demanded of the villagers the murder
ers the Capt. Howe and his mate, who were
killed in January of last year. The vii
lase was destroyed three months after the
murders. and as the inhabitants still refus.
ed to give up the criminals, the place WAS
again shclled, and 4 company Of seamen
which was landed destroyed verything Of
value they could find.

A YOUNG WIFE's CoNFEssIoN.-The
police are in fair way to solve the myste
ry surrounding the murder of Frederick
Pfsterin Brooklyn. Yesterday afternoon
Florence NJ. Soult, young married woman,
who was last seen in his company, made q
statement to the police, which they believe
is true, and which clears up the mystery of
the tragedy. She says Pfster was murder
ed in the wagon in which his body was
found. On the night of the tragedy she says
she went into the grain wagon with Pfister.
Her husband discovered them, and came
iuto the wagon, and as he did so young
Phster. got up and they began TO fight. Her
husband struck him in the face, and he fell
back in the wagon exclaiming, oh y He
did not get up again, and after she had left
the wagon her husband came after her and
told her not 10 mention what had taken
place. He said: II struck him, but | did
not mean to kill him. Now. he is either
dead or unconscious" Her husband is un-
der arrest.
