Congressional.

The Senate yesterday disposed of
seven paragraphs of the metal schedule
after eight hours of debate, which was
marked by quite number of interest
Ing clashes between the republicans
and democrats. The sensational fea-
ture of the day was caused by the unex-
pected presentation by Mr. Jones of an
amendment which was adopted by
vote of % 10 9, substituting the Mckln-
lev bill classification and specific rates
on round iron in coils, blooms and char
coal iron, somewhat higher than those
already proposed. This amendment
was surprise to some Senators
on both sides, although evidently anti
cipated by Mr.. Quay and e few other
OF his colleagues. When the vote was
taken seven democrats and two popu-
lists refused to support the Jones sub
stitute. Senators German and Gibson,
of Maryland, and Daniel and Hunton,
of Virginia, voted in favor of the amend
ment. Messrs. Mills, Berry, Black
burn, Jarvis, Lindsay, Pasco and Pal
mer were the only democrats who voted
in the negative with three of the popu-
lists. During the exciting debate Sen
ator Teller scoded his republican col
leagues and told them it was time to
stop obstructing the passage OF the tariff
bill.
While in committee OF the whole the
ouastion of civil service reform was Civ
en- full! sway in the House, 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 not few amusing
speeches. The amendment was adopt
ed by vote of 100 to II amid great
democratic applause and republican
cries of"sroils."
The action OF the House, in commit
tee of the whole, in striking out the
appropriation for the civil service com,
mission is not final. The matter still
has to be acted upon by the House.
The vote is construed TO mean that the
democrats are not satisfied with the
delibe-ative manner in which changes
in the Offices outside the classified ser
vice have been made.
There is very little question, it is
said, that the Senate will restore the
appropriation even if the House
omits its from the bill, so that in the
end the civil service system is likely to
be continued, but the action of the
House must be regarded as an indica-
ton of feeling, which may possibly re-
suit in revision of the present law.
The republicans under existing circum-
stances are naturally in favor of the
law, and voted solidly for the proposed
appropriation.

Death OF Col. Skinner.

Col. Fred. G.. Skinner died in Char
lottesville yesterday. He was born in
Annapolis, Nd, so years ago, and Was
the son of J. S. Skinner, for many years
postmaster of that city. In 1924, when
General Lafayette visited this country
he persuaded Mr. Skinner to let him
take his son Frederick, then q boy of
ten, with him to France TO be educated.
He remained in France for$ten years,
during which time he was an inmate
of General Lafayette's family and re-
ceived his education with the Generals
grandsons. Returning to this country
he entered West Point as cadet, but
did not 90 into the United States army
and was afterward appointed secretary
of legation at Paris, where he remained
for some years. At the death of Gen.
Lafayette he was appointed by Presi
dent Jackson United States ambassador
to take letters of coincidence from this
country to the family and the French
government. There was not Drawer
officer in the Confederate service, in
which he rose to the rank Of colonel of
the First Virginia Regiment. After the
close Of the war he went to Egypt for
the purpose of selling guns to the Khe-
dive, and but for England's control
over Egypt would have made a fortune
bv his transactions. He knew the Khe-
dive and Arab Pasha and won many
friends by his genial nature and brill
liant conversational powers. He leaves
Que daughter, Mrs. Eliza Greene, of
Staten Island, n. y, and two grand
children, Mr.. +. S. Greene and Miss
Belle Greene. The funeral service
took place from Christ Church, Char
lottesville, this morning, and the re-
mains were taken to Baltimore. The
interment will be at Greenmount GENE
tery, in that city. Col. Skinner mar
ried a Miss Thornton, of Rappahan-
mock county, whose father owned the
princely estate known as Montpelier.
He was well known in this city, espec-
tally by the surviving members of the
old 18th Virginia Regiment.

HARRISBURG, May 23.-The Penn

trayal of the welfare of federal soldiers
and sailors and deplores the persecu-
tons, suspicious and privations to
which they have been subjected under
hostile administration. The Cleve-
land administration, the platform, as
serts, has realized the worst apprehen-
sions Of those who opposed its election.
1t has shown incapacity to govern alike
in foreign and domestic affairs, incapa-
city to wisely advise even its own party
followers, so that democratic Congress
men are adrift upon all questions where
the power of public patronage does not
compel them to think alike.

INTELLIGENCE FROM various parts OF
the State is TO the effect thlt there Will
be opposition to some of the democratic
congressional nominees at next 1ail'
election, and that in districts in when
the republican vote is strong, the oppo-
sition will combine upon republican
candidates. and in those where the
populists or prohibitionis;s are more
numerous. they will be allowed TO name
the men for whom the anti-democratic
vote shall be cast. AS there is now,
and by no means unnaturally, a great
deal of lukewarmness, to say the least
among the men who have always here
tofore supported the democratic ticket,
there may be falling off in the demo-
cratic vote next November, but surely
every intelligent Virginia democrat
knows that, so far as the interests OF
the people of his State are concerned
he would be jumping out Of the frying
nan into the fire to leave the democratic
party now. Derelict as that party is, it
is unquestionably better that it, rather
than either the republicans or populists
should have control of Nirginia's al
fairs.

HOUSE.
Senate bills were passed authorizing
the construction of bridge over the
Missouri river at Jefferson City, Mo,
and to issue patents to six or eight
Otoe Indians for the lands they occupy
on the old reservation in Nebraska.
The House then took UP the legisla-
tive, executive and judicial approprla-
ton bill, the civil service commission
being under consideration.
Mr.. De Almonds amendment to
strike out the appropriation for the
civil service commission and authorize
appointments by the heads OF depart
mcnts, in numbers proportional to the
several States and Territories, ap-
pointees to be selected in accordance
with regulations established by the
States and Territories, was ruled out
on point of order.
Mr.. Anderson offered an amendment
repeating the civil service law and acts
amendatory thereof, which the chair
man, Mr. Richardson, also ruled out OF
order, and was sustained by vote Of
90 to Sc.
The paragraph of the bill transferring
to the control of the civil service com
mission the clerks detailed for duty
therein, went out on conceded point
of order that it was new legislation.
A motion to strike out the paragraph
appropriating Sc, 900 for travelling and
other expenses of the commission was
lost-5I 10 10. This closed the consd
Grafton of the civil service schedule
the ret result being that the last para
graph only remains in the bill.

WHEN THE democratic US. House

refused to vote money for the support
of the civil service commission, Mr.. Ca
ruth, of Kentucky, cried out, Its the
first time the democratic party ever did
any thing" He meant, of course, at
this session of Congress, and he told the
truth. Now, if the democrats of the
House will insist upon this action, and
let the whole legislative bill fail, rather
than revoke it, much as the democratic
voters may be disguised with their
leaders, they will be disposed to con-
done their delinquencies. The civil
service commission is deservedly, and
naturally, the most unpopular branch
of the government, and its abolition
would be popular with all parties.

OPPOSED TO THE SENATE.-The
House committee on election of presl-
dent and vice president has voted to
make a favorable report on the bill of
Representative Tucker, of Virginia,
providing for the election of U. 5. Sen
ators by direct vote OF the people,
The report was agreed upon by near
ly unanimous vote.
Mr.. Tucker in his report notes that
the bill is identical with one that pass
ed the House last session. He says
that the necessity for the passage OF
such an amendment to the constitution
has increased rather than diminished
since that time, that every year adds
strength to the demand that the mode
of election of Senators should be
changed, so that the Senate will be
more responsive to the voice of the peo-
pie than it has been heretofore. The
report says of the Senate:
''Originally ordained as breakwater
against the fiery democracy, fresh from
the people, it is now, in the popular
mind believed to be, under the guise
vi SGutUOlldl VOui lOos on oP'|t OoS'. ~
ton to the popular will. The best
thought of the country, through the
press and leading magazines, is de-
handing that NO efIete traditions, how
ever sacred in their relations to the
past glory of the Senate, no code of
rules however honored for their length
of service. should stand in the way Of
calculating the popular interest, prop
erly and fully expressed at the polls.
So radical in some sections of the coun-
try has the feeling of the hostility to
the Senate become, that the sentiment
is freely expressed that the Senate has
outlived its career of usefulness; and
members of the House have not infre-
quently been solicited to follow the
example of our English cousins and
pass a resolution through the House to
abolish the Senate as a coordinate de-
partment of the government

A STRIKE at Lawrence, Mass, was
summarily ended recently by the prov
ed charge that the man who ordered it,
and who handled the strikers funds,
had paid three months rent and bought
new suit of clothes since the strike be
gan, spent 81 in treats at a bar room in
one day, had bioiled chicken and cham
payne for dinner, smoked fine cigars
and had only worked one third of
last year. If the men whose assess
ments make up strikers funds only
knew how those funds are spent, they
would have more money in their own
pockets and strikes would be less fire.
