Another Senate Day wasted.

WASHINGTON. March 24.-In the senate
petition was received from citizens of
the Pacific coast protesting against the cruet
treatment of unoffending Chinese. The
Logan bill to increase the efficiency of the
army came up. Mr.. Logan explained that
$4,000 men, owing to casualties, etc., would
mean $4,000. Mr.. Teller opposed the
measure. Mr.. Platt favored the bill. He
said we should be in position to eRs
force the Monroe doctrine and keep in
check the bearers of the red flag of the com-
mune. AT 2 o'clock the army bill went
over, and Mr.. Morgan addressed the senate
in opposition to the Edmunds resolution.
The senate, he said, had no power to pre-
vent the president from performing his con.
stItutional duty. Mr.. Mitchell OF OregoR
favored the report in the main. but would
not be disposed to insist that the presence
of such papers was absolutely necessary to
the discharge by the senate of its constitu-
tional duties. Considerable cross-fire oc-

CHICAGO, March 24.-The Journal says
Deputy Master Workman John Foley of
the Chicago Assembly of the Knights of
Labor, when talked with this morning,
said:
tell you candidly, and on information from
the head. that there is no probability of the
labor troubles in railroad circles reaching
Chicago right away. In fact, we do not
think that the workmen OF the Southwest did
the best thing in starting the trouble. They
would have been wiser If they had con-
tributed TO the al a of the one man first dis
charged. We must use judgment III these
matters.

WASHINGTON, March 24.-Inquiry at

elicits the information from his private sec
retary that Mr.. Manning is doing well, and
that his physician says everything is favor

of Secretary Manning as not much changed

DIR. Hamilton made a statement to AS

in regard to the condition of Secretary
Manning, from which it appears that he
has symptoms of apoplexy and is not re-
garded as out of danger. DIR. Hamilton
says he will be confined to his bed for some
time. According TO Mr.. Fairchilds in
formation Secretary Manning was first
taken i'll in his Office, and in falling to the
floor from exhaustion wrenched his ankle.
Subsequently he grew worse, and there
were symptoms OF apopleXy, which alarmed

Although his physicians speak thus hope
fully, their troubled looks and the great anx-
iety exhibited by his family and friends
indicate that his condition is at least criti-

An office-HoIdtng Community.

WASHINGTON, March 24.-The minority
report of Representative Clements of
Georgia upon Mr.. Leney's bill to repeal the
civil service law takes the ground that the
grave abuses that grew up under Repub-
ican rule" do not demand or justify that
new and radical departure in principle be
embodied in the civil service law. Any at
tempt to limit the presidents power of ap-
pointment or removal is not valid law and
can only operate through executive
acquiescence. The act places the power of
appointment in the hands of commissioners
supposed to be non-partisan, who employ
hair-splitting tests unnecessary to the prac-
teal entertainments of the. fitness of ap-
plicants. The most serious objection to it
is that it tends towards permanent ofice-
holding community utterly at variance
with the American spirit In conclusion
the report attacks the present system of
distribution of appointments to states and
declares that If we are TO have n permanent
official community it should be organized on
a better basis, but the most direct aid for re-
form would be through repeal of the law.

Forcing the Blair hill.
Special to the GLOBE.


WASHINGTON, March 24.-There was
quite curious incident in the house to-day.
1t was a genuine indignation meeting by
congressman regarding the course of the
educational committee. Of which Mr.. Strait,
by the way, is a member. The committee,
it will be remembered, at the last meeting
determined TO postpone action on the edu-
cational bill until the third Friday in April.
This the majority of the committee openly
admit to be for the purpose of killing the
bill, for they frankly say that if it gets into
the house it will probably pass. Mr.. Strait
is one of those who voted to postpone
action on the bill, The meeting of friends
of the bill was held to-day, with the purpose
of trying TO devise some means 10 get it out
of the committee. Congressman Cobell
presided. 1t was determined to authorize
Willis to introduce the Blair bill, or one
similar to it, next Monday. and ask its
reference to some other committee. Mean
while sub committees are TO be appointed to
work up sentiment against the action of the
educational committee, with the belief that
when the vote was demanded on the prop
ositiOn they can muster enough to send it to
some committee that will act on IT,
WASHINGTON, March 24.-At a confer
ence of some forty representatives to-day.
the following resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That Mr.. Willis of Kentucky Is
hereby requested to introduce into the house

Blair bill, with such amendments thereto as
he may deem best, If any, and move that said
bill be referred 10 a committee of the house

ence appoint a committee consisting OF two
members of each delegation, who shall confer
with their respective colleagues and secure
their support of said reference, the committee

Spreading All over EeIgium.

BRUSSELS, March 24.-The strike begun
by the miners at Liege fortnight ago is
extending rapidly all over Belgium. 1t has
now practically assumed a universal de-
mand by the miners of the country for an
increase of wages. accompanied by a de-
crease in the hours of labor. The labor
movement at Liege is under the control of
anarchists, and the city is really at their
mercy. In many instances anarchists have
stopped people in the streets and demanded
money. threatening violence if it was not
given them. They have also broken the
windows in great number of houses and
shops. The garrison is confined within
the barracks in readiness for service. A
pamphlet called The Catechism of the Peo-
pie is being industriously circulated. 1t
teaches the doctrine of general redistribu-
tion of wealth. and urges the use of torce
to accomplish its practice. A large num-

The FIfth Attempt Fails.

OMAHA, Neb., March 25.-The fifth
futile attempt of the Missouri Pacific TO

PENSION IRREGULARITIES.
Commissioners Black Continues His
Testinonv.


WASHINGTON, March 24.-The examina-
ton of Pension Commissioner Black was
continued by the senate committee on ex-
penditures of public moneys this morning.
Senator Harrison took up the case of Capt.
John a. Whist, one of the twenty cases
furnished by Commissioner Black to sustain
his charge that the pension Office had been
managed as political machine by his pre-
decesSOr. Commissioner Black said he did
not wish to be examined ON that case this
morning, and that he would withdraw it
from the investigation, Senator Harrison
asked whether the withdrawal was IN con-
sequence of the politics of the claimant.
Gen. Black declined to answer the question.
Mr.. Harrison asked whether the withdrawal
was not made because of the discovery that
the claimant was Democrat. Witness said
he did not know yet. He had not
completed the case. Senator Harrison
again asked the reasons which impelled the
witness to withdraw the case. In reply
Commissioner Black said that he was told
yesterday by man that the committee had
an excellent joke they were going to spring
on him; that there was the case of one man
who was Democrat and the chairman of q
Democratic county committee. He (Mr.
Black ran over the list hurriedly and be-
came satisfied that the man (Whitsit) was
Democrat. Senator Harrison asked if wit
ness knew that claimant was chairman of
the
DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE
of indianapolis. to which the commissioner
replied in the negative. Commissioner
Black said he had not dropped Whist.
He did not know whether he should do it.
Emphatically he thought the testimony was
insufficient to keep him on the rolls. The
case of Reuben Neil was then taken up and
Senator Plumb conducted the investigation.
Commissioner Black in reply to inquiries
said that the claim was allowed but was
suspended before the certificate reached the
witness in consequence of statement by
Congressman PettibOne that he was in
formed claimant was fraud and suggest
ing further investigation. 1t was still in
condition of suspension. Gen. Black, in
conclusion, asked to submit the indOrse-
ment upon the jacket, noting the suspen-
sion of the case. This Endorsement, he
said in reply to an inquiry, was made be-
fore he (Black) became commissioner.
Mr.. Plumb then called attention to another
Endorsement upon the jacket, which he
asked witness to read. Commissioner
Black read as follows:
Pension office, Jan. 10, 1886. Claimant
through Hon. A. II. Pettibone, was informed
his name was dropped, as additional evidence
does not change status.
Commissioner Black appeared never to
have seen or heard of this Endorsement be-
fore. In reply to Senator Plumb, he said:
That would indicate that the thing has been
Jockeyed within my Office. a man who has
only one or two clerks of his own persuasion
in great division like that has to take some
chances.
The committee adjourned to meet one
week from to-day.

Paris, March @4.-The inquest on the
Russian who died of hydrophobia while
under NJ. Pasteur's care revealed the pres
ence in one of the mans cheek bones of a
portion of decayed tooth that undoubtedly
belonged to the wolf by which the man was
bitten. This, NJ. Pasteur supposes has
tened the incubation of the disease. The
lungs and other internal organs were filled
with clotted blood, showing that there had
been paralysis of the breathing apparatus.
The tonsils and tongue were abnormally
swollen. The brain was slightly congested,
but was otherwise healthy. Two other

GARLAND NEVER PROMISED
Anybody That He Would Bring a
Suit Against Bell.

WASHINGTON, March "a. The telephone
committee resumed the examination of
Casey Young to-day.
He said emphaticaly that the attorney gen.
eral never told him or any one else that he
knew of that he would bring suit against the
Bell company. He had never spoken to
Solicitor General Goode about the attorney
generals departure until he had seen it in the
papers. He had never heard that the attor-
ney general was to leave town in order that
Goode might bring suit. After Van Ben
thuysens interview with the attorney gem
eral witness had, at Van Benthuysen's request,
written letter to the president appealing
from the action of the attorney general in
refusing TO have anything to do with a tele-
phone suit. Witness had that letter in his
pocket when he came to Washington with
Huntington, but it was never delivered for
upon their arrival they found the attorney
general absent and Solicitor General GOode
brought suit. Witness had not mentioned the
subject to Goode prior to that. He called
upon Goode and asked if the papers had ar
rived, and was informed that they had not,
and left within five minutes. Senator Harris
had gone with witness to see Goode. Next
morning witness called again and was told by
Goode that the papers had reached him (the
papers from the district attorney at Men,
phiS)- He did not remember whether the pa
pers were shown TO him (witness) He had
gone to the department OF justice to endeavor
TO have the suit brought, as he thought it
should be brought, lat our relation" His
idea was then he could better control the
suit in that form, and he did not want it
brought in the name of the government
That was some time in August or September.
GOOde was writing the order to bring the suit
when witness called the second time He
did not know that Goode intended to write
the letter, as he had said nothing beyond re-
marking that the papers had reached him.
Witness had intended to ask Goode to bring
the suit in the form desired, but upon con-
sideration he concluded that it would not De
the right thing to do.
The witness was examined at great
length, but nothing of general interest was

Gen. Hazen Again maligned.

WASHINGTON, March 24.-Gen. Hazen,
chief signal officer, appeared before the
house committee on expenditures in the war
department to-day in answer to charges
made against the signal service by Second
Comptroller Maynard. He said that while
the service had trebled the cost was $780,
900 less per annum now than when he took
charge of the Office. He told of Capt.
Howgate's embezZlements, his arrest and
escape, and said that the signal service had
tried in every way in its power to secure
his arrest. Gen. HaZen submitted a long
document denying in detail the charges
made by Mr.. Maynard, and said that in
every case mentioned the spirit of the law
had been carried out. He declared the va
riOuS allegations of irregularity and unau-
thOriZed expenses of public money by the
signal service to be untrue, and maintained
that the expenditures were proper and nee
eSsary and were authorized by higher au-
thority than the chief signal officer. Gen.
