Fire at Column bian University.

fire, which might have been attended
with serious consequences, was discovered
in the basement of Columbian University.
corner of 10Th and II streets, at 7:30 yester-
day evening. A still alarm brought the
engine from No. l company to the scene
and few bucketfuls of water extinssuished
the fire. The hood in the chemical labor
atory had in some way become ignited, and
as no one was in the room at the time the
first intimation the college authorities had
or the hre was the odor of burning wood
and the clouds of dense smoke which rolled
through the building. There were one or
two hundred students in the college at the
time, mostly law students, in the room Just
over the laboratory, but there was very lit
tie excitement Fortunately the hood in the
laboratory Is somewhat isolated. and the
hames only scorchei the brick wall against
which 1t is built. Had there been surround
ing woodwork, il Il likely that the fire
would have gained quite a Roadway before
its discovery, and the results might have
been disastrous.

THE LEGISLATIVE BILL PASSED.
Money for the Civil Service Commits

1t is one thing to abuse civil service re-
form in committee of the whole. to vote
against II viva voce, or by tellers, and 10
otherwise make a great demonstration in
favor of "Old Hickory Democracy" 1t is
quite another thing, however, when il comes
to yea and nay vote in the House, TO 20
upon official record in the annals of Con-
gress, where all future generations may be-
hold: all of which was demonstrated in the
House yesterday.
In committee of the whole the Legislative
appropriation bill had been amended by
striking out the appropriation for the civil
service commission. This had been done
after vigorous speeches had been male
against civil service reform, and members
had relieved themselves OF accumulated irri-
tation against the operation Of the civil ser
vice law. Yesterday. however. when the bill
was reported from the committee OF the
whole, a separate vote was demanded on
this amendment, and the previous action
was reversed by a vote of l5s to ~. - the
appropriation for the commission remains
In the bill.
A separate vote was demanded on Mr.
Hayes amendment repeating the law pro.
viding for docking members for being alb
