Mr.. Reed and Mr.. Bacon Have Passage
at Arms-To Investigate the Sweating
System In Large Cities.
WASHINGTON, d. c., February 13.-
The sweating" system still in vogue
in the large cities aud about which so
much has been written by the leading
Journals OF, the land, is to be thoroughly
Investigated by committee OF the
House OF Representatives. Hon. Sher-
man Hoar, the young Democratic rep
resentative from Massachusetts, has
been the chief agitator In the matter
and it is understood he will head the
subcommittee which will be required
to visit several Of the leading cities Of
the country.
There is a great difference OF opinion
in the minds OF memo oers as to whether
after all the abuses have been unveiled,
Congress will have power to soate the
sweating" sy stem, as many hold that
its regulation is exclusively within the
power OF the Legislatures OF the respec-
tive States and entirely without the
jurisdiction Of Federal legislation.
Be that as 1t may there is no doubt
the Committee on Manufactures will
exercise to its fullest extent the au-
thority Of investigation to-day con-
ferred upon it by the House to the end
that whatever relief may be found
necessary will come from the legislative
powers having jurisdiction over the
subject.
In the morning hour the House re-
sumed consideration Of the bill for the
better control OF and to promote the
safety of national banks.
Mr.. Lockwood, of New York, OBJ

and TO the general interests OF the coun-

ifyinv the laws relating to national

day had become we'll settled. de be-

an interest.

New YORK, February ll.-Memoers
OF the Democratic State Committee
were asked yesterday what they thought
of the Cooper Union protest against
mid-winter convention and whether
they felt like changing the date.
Some of the committeeman frankly
said that they would not vote to post
pone the meeting OF the convention.
Others seemed inclined 10 think about
the subject.
Richard Croker said:-"No, Go not
favor changing the date Of the conven-
tion. | think the time set is as good as
any other time. In fact little better,
because the farmers have nothing to do
now and they can attend. Later In the
season, when the ground thawS out they
will prefer TO stay at home and plough
rather than attend any convention.
Chairman Edward Murphy, Jr., OF
the Democratic State Committee, said:
THE convention will meet at the
time and place designated and called
and will undoubtedly transact the busi-
ness for which IL is called. The gem
tlemen who participate In the proceed
ings OF that convention will certainly
support the nominee OF the convention
that meets In Chicago on June, 2lst."

Large crowds of people are now on

had secreted him In police headquarters,
and have gone there TO search. 1t is
rumored that another crowd is trying
TO secure a special train to go down the

ing the officers with the prisoner. The
negro is just out OF the penitentiary,
