WASHINGTON, Feb. I2.-In speaking
to the pension Office paragraph of tine ap.
preparation bill, Cooper Of Indiana made
an attack upon the superintendent of the
pension building, asserting that he had
stored several hundred bushels of potatoes
in the pension Office and sold them to en-
ployes, thus turning a government de.
partment into a huckstering establish
ment.
Enloe Of Tennessee attacked the ad-
ministration OF the pension office and Of
fered an amendment reducing to IS, 800
the salary OF the commissioner.
Perkins of Kansas defended Commits
sioner Raum and, after some debate, En-.
loe withdrew the amendment.
The reading of the bill concluded, the
committee required to the consideration of
the clause making an appropriation for
the civil service commission.
-Gtosyenor raised the point of order
against 1t Except so far as it refers to
commissioners, chief examiner aud secre-
taTy) on the ground that it violates the
existing law. The statute designed that
clerks should be divided into four classes.
and that none be appointed until they
were found qualified by a board of three
examiners. Under the law establishing
the commission it was provided that
clerks should be assigned from one of the
departments. Now it was proposed to
appropriate for them under the head OF
the civil service COMMISSION, and therein
the bill was in violation of the law.

raised S4OO) and as to all the clerks and
employees, except n messenger and one
labOrer.
McComas of Maryland appealed from
the decision and considerable debate fol-
lowed.
Tracey OF New York said this was an
effort to carry out the policy followed by
the present administration to represent TO
the people that it was trying to reform
the civil service, while at the same time il
was making every effort to cripple the
commission in an underhand way.
Cannon denied there was an intent to
cripple the commission.
The decision OF the chair was sus-
tained-ll9 to 30-and the clause as to
the clerical force of the commission was
stricken out.
speaking to a verbal amendment.
Hooker of Mississippi referred to the
printing of Cleveland's letter in the
Record He wished to say that there
was no nan in this country, whether he
had held a distinguished position. or
whether he had an ambition to hold the
highest position within the gift of the
people tbe he OF one party or
another who could lay down law to the
great masses of this country who thought
for themselves. Whatever might be the
opinion of any one man. he had no right
to speak for the great laboring interests of
the country which stood back aud behind
the constitution and the law. He be
ieved his constituents want the free corn-
lEe OF both metals.
Cannon-I would like to ask the gentle
man whether he is in favor vi DIr. CIeve-

Hooker-I will say. 1 do not think that

NEWARK, N. j., Feb. l2.-There was
rioting and bloodshed at Clark's thread
mills this evening when the non-union
spinners auit work. They were carried
over the river and when they landed on
the Kearney side they were met by a
throng of 1000 men, women and
children. A boy threw a rock and the
special police attempted to rush in the
crowd. Chief Turnbull of the Kearney
police ordered the specials back and they
retired. Immediately after a woman
threw another stone, and the specials
then rushed upon the crowd, Furnishing
revolvers and shooting in the air. The
crowd surged back, but flung a shower Of
stones, which crashed through the
mill windows. Yelling and window
breaking were kept up until the tumult
attracted hundreds of people from
Newark. For half a mile along the river
front there stretched a mass oil humanity.
Men inside the mill paid a line of hose
out and vet a crowd. THIS made the
rioters more angry and the window smash
ing went on. Several girls were crushed
and one badly dubbed. Willie Rich.
mond, aged 9, was shot through the loot
by a special officer. With the darkness,
tie crowd dispersed. There is scarcely
one whole window in the mill. 1t 10

morrow and the probabilities arc that
the militia will be called out.
