OWL sERvIcE REFoRM.
Had Fun Sway in the House Yester-
day.

a
day.
Washington, May 22.-The question
of civil service reform was given full
sway in the House today, the occasion
being the amendment to strike out the
paragraph in the legislative appropria-
ton bill providing for the civil service
commission. 1t gave opportunity for
some stirring and few amusing
speeches. The amendment was
adopted by a vote of 100 to II, amid
great Democratic applause and Repub-
lican cries of "Spoils.'
No other amendments of any i'm
portance were made to the bill, the
only ones adopted being to correct the
texts of a few amendments, to which
amendments were made yesterday.
Several Democrats opposed the
amendment virtually abolishing the
commission but it was adopted by
nearly strict party vote
Among the Democrats who voted
with the Republicans in favor Of tina
civil service reform were: Wilson,
Tracey, Hendrix, Dockery, Warner,
Springer, Sayers, Grain, Martin Kill
gore, Livingstone, De Forrest, Everett.
The vote on division was So to 81.
Cries of mo quorum" and demands
for telIers were made, the vote by
tellers being 100 to Il.
Mr.. Dingley gave notice he would
demand yeas and nays in the House.
It being then after 5 O'Clock the COM
mittee, arose and at the House at 5:04
adjourned.
In the earlier proceedings the resolu-
ton providing for an investigation of
the alleged armor plate frauds were
adopted.

FitzgeraIds in washington.

Washington, May 22.-Michael Fitz-
gerald and his band of forty-three in
dustrial delegates arrived in this city
shortly after 5 o'clock today and took
up quarters in the small chapel annex
TO Mount Zion Methodist church. Fftz-
gerald says his men do not expect to
stay here more than three or four
days. They have a petition to present
TO Congress, but have not as yet made
any plans concerning the manner of
presenting II. The petition is strongly
socialistic in its nature and goes much
further than the Coxey plan. Fitz-
gerald says his men are in sympathy
with CoXey, but they are not in any
way connected with him or his army.

Washington, May 22.-The Senate
disposed of seven paragraphs of the
metal shedule today, after eight hours
of debate. The debate was marked
by quite a number of interesting
clashes between Republicans and DEM
ocrats. The sensational feature of the
day was caused by the unexpected
presentation, by Mr. Jones, of an
amendment substituting the Mckinley
bill classification and specific rates on
round iron in coils, blooms and char
coal iron, somewhat higher than those
already proposed.
This amendment was a surprise to
some senators on both sides, although
evidently anticipated by Mr.. Quay and
few other of his colleagues.
Mr. Hale tried to use it as a text
for haunting the Democrats, and Mr..
Teller read him a very plain lecture
on the duty of the Republicans to ac-
ceDt such increase as the Democrats
were willing to grant without con-
tinually Gliding their adversaries with
inconsistency.
When the vote was taken, seven
Democrats and two Populists refused
to support the Jones substitute, viz:
Allen, Berry, Blackburn, Jarvis, Kyle,
Mills, Pascoe and PETER.
The rates fixed today were as fol-
lows:
Iron ore, 40 cents per ton.
Pig iron, scrap iron, ETC., 81 per ton.
Round iron in coils, eight-tenths of
a cent per pound.
Slabs, blooms, less finished than bars,
fve-eighths of a cent per pound.
Charcoal blooms, $12 pep ton.
Beams, Orders and other structural
iron or steel, six-tenths Of cent per
pound.
per cent. ad valorem.
Forgings of iron or steel Cotton ties),
80 per cent. ad valorem.
The Senate went into executive ses-
sion, and shortly afterwards adjourned.

ADVICE TO BRITISH TRADERS.
No Faith Abroad in Any Tariff Re-
auctions.

London, May 22.-The Chronicle says:
There is a world of meaning in the de-
cision of the Republican senators in the
United States Congress to allow liberty
of action in the tariff bill. The Chronicle
argues there is little difference between
the proposed bill and the Mckinley law
and says that the Republicans think if the
Democrats now make admittedly neces-
sary changes in the Mckinley law, it will
save the Republicans much time and
trouble when they accede to power. Hard
times have played mischief with President
Cleveland's policy, for the continued ex-
port of gold after the silver law, to which
lie ascribed them, was repealed, gave color
to the truth of the contention of high
tariff people, that the free trade agitation
is responsible for the paralysis of trade
and the outflow of gold. The feeling has
grown strong and general that the time
is not ripe for change in economy, and it
would be wise for British traders with the
United States to address their business
to the prospect of no material reduction
in the tariff.

WOMEN MAY NOT PREACH.
An Exciting Day of the Cumberland
Presbyterian Assembly.

Eugene. Ogn., May 22.-This has been
the most exciting day of the Cumber-
land Presbyterian assembly. The re-
port of the judicial committee, which
made both majority and minority re-
ports, was taken up.
The question at issue was whether a
woman shall be ordained to preach,
the particular case in point being that
of Mrs. Woolery. The minority report
favoring ordination was lost-S5 to 81.
Then the majority report was carried.
A motion was made for a recon-
sideration, but the motion was tabled
and the matter rests. for the present
at least. 1t is probable the matter will
finally be returned to the presbyteries,
and after their action be brought before
the general assembly another year.
