In the bohemian Diet-Almost Like Our
Own Congress.
PRAGUE, May 1.-THE Bohemian diet
was the scene to-day OF q display Of
violence and disorder unparallel-
cd in the protracted and bitter
struggle for supremacy between
the Czech and German elements. The
young Czechs filibustered and Prince
Lobkowitz, president Of the Diet, who
is an appointoo of tho Austrian en-
peror, rebuked the flibusters for their
obstructive course.
Herr Funke, q German, then at.
tempted to speak, whom Czeh named
Brzorad took offense and forcibly
elected him from the tribune.
Not subdued, he continued to gasp
defiance at his enemies from the outside
and another deputy threw an ink pot at
him, which broke and spattered the
contents over several members. Prince
Lobkowitz then declared the sitting
closed.
The prince has since been occupied
in tho preliminary arrangements for
duels with several OF his antagonista
The scone in the diet caused great
excitement throughout the city.
The students OF the university
broke out in riotous demon-
stration and wrecked the windows
Of club houses and OF mansions Of poo
pie obnoxious no them. Tho police are
guarding the streets in tho vicinity Of
tho building whore tho sessions OF tho,
diet are held. The dict will probably

The Associated Pres Daily Worlds Fair Special
CHICAGO, May l7.-This has been
busy day at the Worlds Fair and better
still it was a bright clear day, though
little too cold for comfort. To begin
with the Norwegian building was dedi'
Gated, and at least ten thousand citizens
of that nationality attended. Tho
two hundred Minnesota editors i'm
formally dedicated the Minnesota state
building,
1t is estimated by the bureau OF adj
missions that from forty thousand to
fifty thousand paying visitors were ad-
mitted to the grounds to-day.
The national commission held an In
teresting session to-day, The report of
the music committee calling for the
resignation OF Theodore Thomas as di-
rector Of music was adopted by vote
Of 80 TO 10.
Tie report Of the committee was taken
up for consideration about i o'clock
and heated debate on ita adoption,
lasting over two hours followed. Tho
vote was then taken and the report
adopted.
Whether the national commission
has the power to enforce the require.
ments OF tho committee report is
question yet to be decided.
The knowledge that the Sunday
opening question was to be discussed
by the national commission caused o
large number OF spectators to be pres
ent when tho body was called to order.
A bunch Of kilograms on President
Palmer's desk protesting against tho
action OF the directory were evidence
that the Sunday closing people outside
the city were on the alert.

New YoRK, May lion its editorial

this morning prints the following dis
patch from Its Washington corresponds
ent;
"That new rulings are contemplated
preliminary to a complete reorGauiza'
tion OF the working force OF the depart
ments, the treasury especially, seems
more than probable, This 1t ID
believed is one reason why so few de-
partmental changes had been made
Those that have been made are on Q
line consistent with the new rules that
are said to be preparing.
"Mr. Cleveland, 1t Is reported, con,
TEMPLATES new extension of the civil
service idea, little less than tho com
plete wiping out Of the present system
and the substitution ofsome main feat
ures OF the=EnClish system.
"For this purpose legislation will be
needed and yet considerable progress
is possible under the present laws, Mr.,
CIeveland's experience, more especially
during the last two months, has set him
thinking,
II is reported that in his own mind
he has advanced considerably toward
the plan Of employing in the govern.
ment service only those who are best
qualified, regardless Of political consid'
erations, The qualifications are to be
ascertained by board, not less
removed from partisan influences and
considerations than the supreme court,
The service ia TO bo arranged In grades
and under tho best rules known in the
business world, whereby fitness, moral
intellectual and physical will be taken
into the account; politics never,
with making appointments, save
those Of foreign ministers and certain
high officials, nearest to the executive,
the President will have nothing to do
and the tenure will virtually be for life
and good behavior. Provision will be
made for constant supervision OF the
service with a view to keeping it up to
the highest standard in all respects
"Mr. Cleveland has seen and
thought enough, he believes, tc
qualify him TO make Congress
when ii meets again extensive
recommendations looking to changes
that will separate the servants OF the
government from politics and relieve
the executive branch from what in his
judgment has become positive scanda
and an injury In every light.
"Mr. Cleveland is convinced the time
has come for reforming altogether the
practice OF appointing men to Office OIL
party grounds, and is giving his best
study to the subject OF reforming the
evil.
"Etjs understood the President has
persuaded himself that what he in
tends to recommend will command
the requisite strength to put through
Congress law that will permanently
reform out Of existence a number O
evils which in his judgment throatenet
the welfare OF the republic; and he be-
lioves tho reform will shed renown OF
his administration"
