that they were unable to induce the Italians
who were at work to strike for an advance

This morning N crowd bof oidlers
gathered in the park to the numbera of 700
or more, and maintained such threatening
attitude toward the Italians that the IN :
tractors thought il best not TO attempt to
resume operations. Some union carpenters
engaged in building the Offices and stables

WORK OF TIE HOUSE.
The Legislative appropriation Bill
Passed.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 13-In the House
this morning. on motion Of Mr.. McMillin OF
Tennessee, the Senate amendments to the
House bill to establish customs. district of
Tennessee was non-concurred in.
The House then went into committee of
the whole on the legislative appropriation
Dill The civil service commission para
graph was under consideration. and the de-
bate wes limited to three hours.
Mr.. Cannon moved an ameud nent pro-
yidlnR for q secretary and stenographer at
$1,000 each This, he said, would comply
with the terms Of the organic law.
Then followed lively debate, in which
Messrs. Cannon aud Grosvenor led the at
tacx upon the civil service commission. and
Messrs. Butterworth and Lodge were its
principal champions.
Mr.. Dingley moved to amend Mr.. Can
mons amendment by inserting a provision
approprlating $30 400 to enable the COM
mission to execute the provisions of the
civil service act,
Mr.. Cannon called attention to the fact
that this would merely be a contingent t
fund and would not enable the commission
to employ clerks. The amendment was
agreed to, and Mr.. Cannon's amendment, as
amended, was adopted.
The committee then rose and reported the
bill to the House. The first question was
on the amendment providing for clerks to
members not chairmen OF committees. The
amendment was defeated. yeas u, nays
146, and the speaker, in announcing the re-
suit, declared dryly that tine COMMITTEES
amendment was disagreed to by the House.
The bin was then passed.
The Presidents message announcing the
death OF Admiral Porter was read and re-
ferred 20 the committee on naval affairs.
and then the House adjourned.

A VICTORY FOR REFo AM.

The House Afraid to Hamper the Civil
Servlce Commission.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-The friends of
in the House to-day In reversing the action
of yesterday, by which the civil service
commission was left without clerks in such
position that 1t would have been compelled
TO suspend its operations, and thus if no
change in the law was made would have
have seriously interfered with the depart
ment service. The victory was won by
argument, which always succeeds over the
prejudices of the politicians when this sub
ject is up. A majority of the House is
against civil service reform, but it fears the
popular condemnation. and 50 does not dare
TO seriously embarrass it.

LONDON. Feb. 13.-The labor situation In
England is most unsettled. No sooner Is
the Scotch strike ended than the smolder-
ing discomfort Of the dockers has broken out
afresh in Cardiff and London. The fer
ment OF the great dock strike has never
wholly ceased. Troubles have been OF
weekly occurrence. the situation on Thurs
day assumed unexpected and Important
proportions, which forced a recognition Of
the strikers arrangements. Both here and
at Cardiff an organized attempt Is being
made on the part of the new unions to OBJ
tain control of the shipping interests. Over
1000 men arc out in Cardiff alone. Should
the strike extend to the dockers' union aud
the minor unions controlled by IL 100000
men will be thrown out.
A factor Strengthening the men Is the i'll
concealed impatie1 ace with which many
firms maintain connection with tine ship
ping federation. The ship owners are
obliged to pay 30 shilliugs weekly to board
and lodge non-union men, aud many are
tired of paying shillings pence per ton
for coaling when they could have the work
done by the union men for shilling o pence
per ton.
