ness of Importance transacted by the engi-
neers to-day was the auditing of the charity
claims, which amount to about $4,000. A
committee of ten appointed on Monday to
confer with a like committee from the
Knights of Labor and the Brotherhood of
Firemen on the federation question, re-
ported that they we're unable to reach any
conclusion, and asked for further orders.
vROoMAN ADDED.

George w. Vrooman, and sent them back

GERMANY's HEAVY ARMoR.

Herr Vernois Denies that Russia is the
Fatherland's Hereditary Foe.
BERLIN, Oct. 30.-During the debate on
the budget in the Reichstag to-day Herr
Vernois refuted the statement made by
Herr Bebel, the socialist leader, that Russia
is Germany's hereditary foe. The Germ&a
and Russian sovereigns, he said, are united
in desiring peace, and hoped their efforts to
maintain it would be successful. Herr Won
Bennigsen said that Germany's position in
Europe compelled her to wear heavy armor,
and she would stake everything to enable
her to wage possible war victoriously. He
favored the appointment of an imperial
minister of finance with undivided re-
sponsibility.
Herr Windthorst indicated the willing
ness of the Center party to grant money for
defences if necessary. 1t is rumored that
the centristg will introduce motion pro-
viding for exemption from military service
of candidates for the ministry or all denomi-
nations up TO the age of 26 years, and for
total exemption of ordained ministers.

DAVITTS LONG DEFENSE.
TaEGOvERNMENT ADOPTING PRO.
POSALS OF THE LEAGUE.

The Proposition to Buy Land on the
Twenty Year Valuation Besis First
Made by the LeaRue-Special Laws
Not Justified by the State of Crime
in Ireland.
LONDON, Oct. S0.-Michael Davitt con-
tinued his speech before the Parnell COM
mission to-day. He argued that the
government is now adopting some Of the
leading proposals originally made by the
land league. For instance, the league pro-
posed to buy out the landlords in Ireland
on twenty years valuation of their prop
erty. The conservatives denounced the
idea when it was first mooted, but the gov
ernment is now preparing similar scheme.
SPECIAL LAWS NOT JUsTIFIED.
Mr.. Davitt denied that the state of crime
in Ireland justified the enactment of special
laws for application in that country. He
produced statistics to show that the num-
her of crimes and deeds Of vio-
lence committed in England ex-
ceeded those committed in Ireland.
He denounced the charge that Mr.. Egan
paid money to assist in the Phoenix park
murders, or that Mr.. Biggar OF Others ad-
vanced money belonging TO the league to
pay Tor the committal of the outrage.
THE CHARGES NOT SUPPORTED.
The Times, Mr.. Davitt declared, had not
produced anything to support these charges
except the evidence Of Convict Delaney,
who swore that the forged letters of Carey
to Mr.. Egan were genuine, and the testi.
mony of the self-confessed periurer,
Pigott, as to his interview with Engene
Davis. Boycotting. Mr. Davitt declared,
was not advocated as means of personal
injury or intimidation, but as embodying
the popular sense Of refusing to associate
with those acting against the public inter
est. The commission here adjourned.

MONEY FOE voTR BUYING.
The Civil Service Commissions Atti-
tude in the Matter.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3O--The Star to-
sion has decided to ask the district at
torney to proceed to prosecute all persons
concerned in the preparation and dis
tribution of the political assess
ment circular recently sent by
the Old Dominion Republican League
TO the Virginians in thegovernment service.
Those persons not employees Of the govern
ment will be prosecuted under section IL
of the civil service act, which provides that
no person shall in any government building
political purpose
CLAIM OF THE COMMISSIONERS.
The commission holds that person not
connected with the government in any way
may ask for and receive money from govern
ment employees for political purposes any
where except in government building, but
that where the occurrence takes place on
government property, or where letters
are sent to government buildings, those
concerned are liable to prosecution. 1t is
also proposed to prosecute Messrs. Elan,
Goodwin and Verser, who are government
employees. under section II, of the act which
prohibits all persons drawing compensation
from the United States from being in any
NSAASSbS0 WAth iJAASASoA 0SSSSo-
ments.
SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE.
The civil service commission has evil
dence enough already it is stated, to indict
the officers of the Old Dominion Republican
Association, but it will probably defer
presenting it to the district attorney until
after next Tuesday, 30 that no one can
truthfully charge the commission with
trying to influence the election. AS
matter of fact, of course. the
three civil service commissioners,
though differing in politics, agree
perfectly in thinking that this law ought to
be enforced. and in proposing to see that it
is enforced. If it is unconstitutional, as is
alleged, it ought TO be declared so by the
courts. The commissioners will have the
action of the Old Dominion association
collectors who have been appointed to go TO
the departments Friday TO take the assess
ments from the clerks, as they are paid off,
fully reported.

A TRAIN IN a DITCH.
Breaking of the Side Bar of the Engine
the Cause.

TOLEDO, Oct. 30.--A west bound fast
train on the Lake Shore railroad, known as
Limited No. l." was thrown into a ditch
about 6 o'clock this morning, near station
called Wawaka, Ind, on the Air Line
While the train was running at its usual
high speed, side bar on the engine broke
and the separated parts in flying around so
damaged the track as to derai the trucks
Of the forward car This in turn pulled
the other cars OFF the track until three cars,
with the engine went into the ditch.
THE ENGINE DAMAGED.
The engine was damaged somewhat, and
the trucks of the derailed cars were
smashed, the cars themselves escaping with
lighter damage. The track was badly
blocked, and it required the greater portion
of the day to clear up the wreckage. A
passenger whose name is unknown, was
the only person injured. He was only
bruised little. The train was composed
WHOLLY Of sleeping cars and a combination
car, which fact may serve to account for
the escape of the passengers.
