BosToN, Feb. s.-The old Cradle OF Iho-
erty was most appropriate places for the
boys In blue of the department Of Massa-
chusetts, Grand Army, to hold their 27th
annual encampment yesterday. The bust.
hess transacted was routine, including
the appointment Of various committees.
There was an unusually small number OF
resolutions presented.
When Commander Hall dropped his
gavsl there were nearly 400 members OF
the encampment in their seats The gal
leries were open to comrades OF the order,
but there were less than 80 who availed
themselves OF the privilege, though the
number was increased later.
The encampment was opened at 1925,
the divine blessing being invoked by the
department chaplain, Rev. William Q. Bar
rows Looking down upon the encamp-
ment one Was struck forcibly by the fact
that 1t was emphatically gathering OF
veterans" for within the ranks Of the
order there are very few under so years Of
age and the great bulk of them have
passed the three-score limit, while many
are over 20 years.
The commander began his address at
1898 o'clock, and it was listened to with
the closest attention, several Of his points
being greeted with applause.
With reference to the record of the year
he said: The report Of the assistant ad-
jutant-general of the department shows
the number of comrades in good standing
in the department for the year ending
Dec. 81, 1898, to be %, ,6S7, net loss of b7A
during the past year; the number of COM
rades mustered into the various posts
during the year, 4Si; transferred, 23l; re-
instated, 800; a total of 10l4 Losses
during the year: BY death 400; suspen-
sion, 795; transfer and discharge, 800; .
total loss OF 1851.
A long discussion took place on the
method of selecting delegates and alter
mates to the national enosmpment, but
finally II was voted that they be selected
by one representative Of each post, and
the commander of each of the 2l0 posts
was constituted this committee.

New CASTLE, Dec 3.-,rhc corporal pun
ishment administered to the criminals in
the jail yard here Saturday was done in IL
shape quite different from that of the
previous Saturday. The new sheriff has
found the way of welding the cat which
makes those who feel il think it best to try
and keep out of the clutches of Delaware
law. The whipping were not given al
together as a medicine to circulate the
blood, but did raise welts on the mems
backs. Even the colored mems backs
showed the marks of where the cat
struck them.
William Powell, white, who was con-
victed of larceny. was the first victim OF
the lash and his back showed the marks
of the chastisement plainly. He is the
boys who was spared corporal punishment
by the Court last spring. He received %
lashcs and will serve one year in prison.
Thomas Mitchell, white, received 10
lasheS and will undergo an imprisonment
of three months. He squirmed consider
ably under the influence Of the lash.
Benjamin Tabb, a mulatto, who had
stood one hour in the pillory, came next
and took his medicine. He received 70
lashes IN good shape and went from the
post thinking he would not try it again.
Frank Reid said it was not as bad rs he
thought it would be, but it was seen that
he felt his punishment. He had also
stood one hour in the pillory. He received
20 lashes.
Thomas Mitchelrs back, when he came
to the post, looked rs if he had made
scratches across it with comb so as to
inspire pity in the sheriff, out he received
about the same dose as the rest.

CIVIL sERyIcE REFORM.

The advantages of the public service of
an adhearance to the principles of Civil
Service REFORM are constantly more appar-
emit and nothing is SO encouraging to those
IN ofilclal life who honestly desire good
government as the increasing appreciation
by our people of these advantages. A vast
majority of the votes of the land are ready
to insist that the time and attention, OF
those they select to perform for them inn
portant public duties should not be dis
tracted by dealing our minor offices. and
they are growing to be unanimous in re.
gardlng party organization as something
that should be used in establishing party
principles instead of debating distri-
button of public places as rewards of part
san activity. Numerous additional offices
and places have lately been brought within
clvii service rules and regulations and some
Others will probably soon be included.
The report of the commissioners will be
submitted to Congress and invite careful
attention to the recommendations it con-
tains.

ST. PAUL, May IA. - Considerable
progress Was made during the day to-
ward an amicable settlement OF the
difficulties between the Great Northern
halfway company and the American
Railway union. While it cannot be-
said that the trouble is over, the two
sides now understand each other, and
can proceed in an intelligent manner.
A conference was held at noon in Mr..
Hills Office, at which he made plain
statement of his understanding of the
agreement upon which the strike was
settled. The grievance committee of
the A. r. u. then withdrew to Labor
hall and prepared similar statement,
setting forth the points wherein their
conception of the agreement differed
from that Of President Hill. AS it now
stands, it is probable that the original
agreement, drawn up by the board Of
a{bitrators, will be amended and re-
v1sed SO as to satisfy the A. R. =. and
sAM be acceptable to Mr. = ss,.

resulting in the death Of two officers.
A German squadron arrived in Queens
Ferry, and the Galatea fired a salute to
the German flag. After the tenth
round had been fired an explosion oc-
CURED and Instructor Lawrence's head
was blown to pieces and Instructor
Whitehead's arm Was blown off at the
elbow. In addition two members of
the crew were slightly injured.
Pending an investigation into the
cause of the disaster accurate informal

obtainable, but according to one report
the charge of the gun apparently ex-
ploded in the hands OF Instructor
Lawrence while he was preparing to
place it in the gun.

or The proceedings In the senate .ni.
week Viii depend largely upo1i the re-
suit of the Republican caucus. The
Democrats are hopeful that the caucus
will decide upon treating the tariff in
what they consider "a business like"
manner, and letting the bill proceed
upon its course without as much
speechmaking and without the effort at
delay which the Democrats claim has
been displayed by some of the Republi-
can senators so far on the debate.
There is unquestionable large ele-
ment on the Republican side of the
senate chamber opposed to any course
which smacks in the least of filibuster-
ing. This element includes a large
number of senators from the west and
also sprinkling of the older eastern
senators who feel that they have
A Record to Sustain
against dilatory tactics. The younger
New England Republican senators are,
however, almost unit in favor Of con-
tlnuing the fight upon the lines which
have been pursued up to this time.
They claim that no dilatory tactics
have yet been resorted to, and none will
be necessary and they will probably
make strong plea in caucus to con-
tinue the proceedings as heretofore fol-
lowed in discussing the bill. If the
con servative element in the Republican
ranks wins in the caucus the present
agreement as to hours for debate will
probably be observed; if the opposite
party carries the day the Democrats
will most likely renew the effort to ex-
tend the hours and to force the fighting.
Senator Aldrich said that he expect
ed the proceedings this week to be very
much on the order OF those of last
week. He did not believe there would
be an effort to change the hours, and he
thought the entire week would be de-
voted to the chemical schedule, of
WHICH only seven paragraphs out of the
seventy five contained in it have been
disposed Of.

DON'T WANT COXEYlTES.

Citizens of Hyattsville, Md, Determined
to Drive Them Out.
HYATTsv1LLE, Nd, May l4.-Hyatts-
vile is thoroughly aroused over the
presence of about 500 Coxeyites who
are encamped in the picturesque grove
known as Little Spa, just east of the
town limits. Serious trouble is ex-
pected at any hour and three companies
OF volunteers have been organized.
Adjutant General Douglas of Mary
landi was wired regarding the procur-
ing of arms and ammunition for the
volunteers, but no reply has been re-
ceived. The citizens are determined to
drive the Commonwealers out of the
neighborhood, and are prepared to use
drastic means to accomplish that end.
At meeting held at Camp Coxey the
citizens who antagonized speechmak-
ing by Coxey and Browne in the streets
OF Hyattsville Saturday, were specially
denounced and this has caused in
creased excitement in the town.
