SHELLEY-BROwN CASE.
Civil Service Commissioners Examin-
ing the Testimony.

The board of civil service commissioners
has under consideration the now celebrated
case of Shelley and Brown. Gen. Shelley.

cratic campaign, 1t is claimed. resortei to
government blue book and mailed to each
government empioye claiming - hail from
Alabama, a circular letter asking for the
needful contribution. Brown received one
Of these circulars and aid not heed It.
few days later he received from the War
Department notice of dismissal from the
record and pension division. Brown claims
that his dismissal was due to his neglect
in sending in his subscription, and this
phase of the matter was brought to the at
tention of the civil service commission.
The War Department has made A statement
to the effect that Brown was not dismissed
on political groCnis, but for the reason
usually assigned when a clerk is discharged.
1t Is an interesting case with the civil
service commissioners because they feel
that the sending of communicat tons of this
KIND to government employees is d violation
OF the civil service act. This act provides
penalties for soliciting contributions for po-
iitlcal purposes within the government &C.
partments. While the Hawiey bill, which
when merged with the Pendleton bill form
ed the civil service act was under cJnsid-
Grafton In committee. proposition was
made to specifically state that contribI-
tons were not to be solicited from govern
ment employees by letter or otherwise. but
this was not done, because 1t was believed
that the case was sufficiently covered by
that clause prohibiting contributory solicit
tations in the departments. That clause
was aimed particularly at the method of
solicitation in controversy. because by let
ter was the usual means employed by po-
litical solicitors. as in the case of the Hub
bell circulars. In the Toledo case Attor-
ney General Olney rendered decision that
the Sending of the request for contribution

In this case circulars had been sent by
campaign committees to the employees in
the Toledo post office and the matter was
personally investigated by Secretary Doyle
of the civil service commission, on whose
report the matter was brought to the at
tention of the Attorney General, who rem
dered his opinion as stated The Toledo
and the Shelley-Brown cases are analogous
and the commissioners fear that it will not
be possible to prosecute Shelley. They be-
lieve that the ruling OF the Attorney Cen
eral practically nulifies the civil service act
in SO far as it relates to the soliciting of
campaign funds.

AN AGREEMENT REACHED.
Conference Report on the District
Appropriation bill.

The conferees for the District Of Column bia
appropriation bill reached an agreement late
this afternoon, and the report will be pre-
scented to the two houses tomorrow 1t was
impossible 20 obtain a statement Of the vari-
Gus amounts agreed upon by the conferees,
owing to the Iateness Of the hour and the
fact that the report lad rot been drawn up.
The result of the conference will show,
however, several very liberal increases over
the bill as it passed the House. There will
be an increase of $50, 900 for paving streets
An appropriation of $1,000 Is made for the
repair of the Aqueduct bridge. The Senate
made an increase of S6s, 900 for suburban
roads, and the conferees have compromised
upon $4,000. The item of $1,000 for the en-
campment of the District militia was
stricken odt.~s-.
The Senate amendment relating to the
board of children's guardians was permitted
to stand. The Senate conference receded
from their amendment transferring the re-
form school to the custody of the Commits
sioners, and tine provision remains as 1t

from attending tho public schools was
stricken out. The conferees allowed an in
crease of Sl2.0Jp over last year for sweep

DEATH OF NEIL DlMONT.
4 Brave Soldier and "a Brilliant Law
yer Passes Away.

Mr.. Neil Dumont died this morning at
No. 623 Massachusetts avenue northeast
from cancer of the face. MIR Dumont was
attacked by the fearful malady several
years ago, and the aid of medical science
was exhausted in the endeavor TO stay Its
ravages. When the disease had reached the
incurable stage Mr.. DumOnt was removed
to the hospital for the treatment of in
durable diseases where he remained until
a few weeks ago. He was a brilliant man
and an excellent lawyer, and during the
time that he held the position of assistant
attorney for the District of Columbia he
public prosecutor.
Mr. Dumont served throughout the late
war in the eleventh Massachusetts infantry
attached to Hooker's brigade and division,
the Old Guard of the Army of the Repub-
lie. He a brave, fearless and gallant
soldier and was wounded several times, re-
turning to duty after each injury as soon
almost as convalescence began. He settled
in Washington in 1877 and soon became
prominent in local affairs and widely popu-
lar account of his attractive person
qualities.
Mr. Dumont was married after the war to
a North Carolina lady, who. together with
four small children, survives him. The fun
eral will take place tomorrow at 4:3o in
the afternoon, from his late residence, 60
Massa chusetts avenue northeast and VIII
be under Masonic auspices, the deceased
having been a member of St. Johns Lodge.
The members of the Third Army Corps So
ciety of which Mr.. Dumont was also a
member, who are in Washington, will at
tend the funeral In body.

4 BETTER OlTlGDiS.
Unless Some MishnP Occurs an Agree

ShIeSs some Mfshnp Occurs Agree
ment ON the Tariff VIII BE Reached
The tariff situation is getting much Ike
that existing during the silver fight, change
able and uncertain, but tending toward a
final settlement in some unexpected man
ner.
The conferees have arisen from the depths
of dependency, where they were thrown
by their first conference after :,cttiny ba elk
to work, TO a state Of most cheerful hope
fulness. The prospects OF an agreement
between the House and Senate have bright
ened wonderfully within the past twenty
four hours, and 1t is not On the Senate
bill or nothing plan either. Propositions
Tor compromise entirely honorable TO
both houses are under consideration, and
unless the 'conservatives' really desire the
deieat OF legislation more than anything
else they hardly refuse to come 70
terms. Even il they would ike To see the
bill defeated it would take a great deal of
courage on their part to reveal themselves
In that attitude. as they would have to in
order TO prevent compromise
tremendous pressure is being brought
to bear upon those men who have been de-
claring that there must be not even verbal
changes made in the Senate bill and That
II must not again come back to the Senate
Now the bill has got TO go back 70 the
Senate. Even il the House accepted every
Senate amendms nt, the bill would have 20
changed. 1t is provided in the bill that it
shall go into effect on the LIST day Of Au-
gust. That is impossible now. 1t VIII go
back with other changes. too.
Fair compromise propositions are under
consideration today. and II is said that
they are being considered in a spirit of con-
| ciliat.on, and that an earnest effort is be
ing made to induce the conservatives to
listen TO reason and come down from the
very extreme position they have been &C.
cupying. Those working on the matter are
very hopeful, and q very amiable disposi-
| ton is being displayed in both wings of the
conference
1t may be. of course. that the German
Smith and Brice people will continue to De
obdurate. and so knock the whole thing In
the head, or that some other mishap may
occur to the bill before a conference report
can be agreed to and adopted, but the out
look is much better today than it has been
before
