WASHINGTON, Feb 14-'rhe house went
into committee OF the whole on the legisla-
tive appropriation bill The clause in the
bin in relation to the civil service commits
sion occupied the attention of the house
nearly an day. An amendment appropri-
ating $50, 400 to enable the civil service
commission 10 execute the provisions OF
the civil service act was agreed to. The
bill was then reported TO the house, and
the amendment providing for clerks to
members not chairmen of committees was
defeated. The bill was then passed. The
presidents message, announcing the death
OF Admiral Porter, was read, and the
house adjourned. During the debate on
the civil service commission, Mr.. Cannon
moved an amendment providing for sec

Of the organic law.
Mr. Butterworth said Mr. Cannon knew

CHICAGO Feb 4.-The fact that the bot
tie found in the sacheI taken from Secre
tary Gibson, Of the whisky trust, at the
time Of his arrest contained u substance
which would have brought about the de-
struction Of Schufeldtis distillery in very
short order has been definitely established
by an experiment by the officers who
worked up the case against the whisky
trust man and in the presence of Lawyer
BURY, who has charge of Gibson s defense
Inspector Stuart withdrew the covered
cork from the bottle and allowed one drop
of the stuff to fall upon a small piece OF
paper. Almost instantly the paper burst
into fame.
The experiment was repeated several
times, and il was found that whenever the
smallest quantity was placed on any sub.
stance that would burn flame shot ~
instantly. IL placed upon a substance noi

The following description Of Gibson's

by one of the officers in the case: IN the

feet from the floor, 80 that the revenue

The disedifying and repulsive sight Of
a drunken child ives seen at Second and
Jefferson streets yesterday afternoon.
The little fellow was about years old
and was crossing Second street with a
parcel in his hand when he was seen TO
fall In the gutter He arose. but had not
gone more than few feet when he fell
again, Some persons who were coming
along the street thinking that he had
grown III went TO his assistance, but
before they reached him he had risen and
fallen about half dozen times. When
reached strong odor Of liquor could be
smelt of his breath, his eyes were lustre-
less, and there was every indication that
he was in state of helpless intexi-
cation. .s4s :. sss. 80
Il was a ssd and disgusting sight.
When questioned he could not answer in
telligently but another boy came along
who knew him and took him to his home.
No person could tell how be got the
hquor. but it is thought that he must
have found il in his home and while
alone drank too much. His parents live
on Front street. but charity requires
that their name be kept secret.
