Rhnleasla Removal,

WASHINGTON, June 8.-Not only Of
Zee holders, but clearinghouse keepers
and bushes men are becoming stirred
up over the recent and still cOntin-
uing dismissals in the different depart
ments. About one tenth of the popula-
tion of the city is employed by the
government. That one-tenth represents
at least $4,000 people, whose happiness
in 8 large majority Of cases depends
upon the regular receipt of the enVel-
cpes at the end of the month. When
one.ffth of the population is thus in
timately interested in office holding, 1t
is easy to imagine the widely divergent
effects Of such sweeping charges as
have taken place in the past month.
Between 700 and 800 have been dis.
charged from the government printing
office, and though Public Printer BeDe.
dict has said that no more WholesalS
dismissals will be made, it Is
likely the end is not yet in
the bee hive on North Capitol
street. In the war department, since
April, nearly $50 clerks have been re
moved, and others are expected to go
In the near future. These will be in
company with about 300 of the census
bureau employees and those Of other
departments when the Dockery bill
bcomes a law. It may. therefore, be
safely estimated that az least 1000 per-
sons will have to look for O3ner employ
mant before the winter comes. Among
those dismissed, particularly ln the
war department, are men who have
lived generation in Washington, and
have come to regard it as their home.
Some may have managed to buy COM
Portable homes, and the loss Of their
regular monthly stipend causes them
to wonder how they may now continue
to occupy them. Others have been so
long at one desk that by reason of their
age they are absolutely untitled to en-
gage in other occupations even were
there any opening for them. In view
Of this outlook movement is contemp-
lated to engraft on the Dockery bill q
provision that to those clerks who will
be removed under it years notice be
given. This, it is cOntended, will en-
able them to look around for other
employment, 50 that they may adjust
themselves more readily to circumstan-
ces when they cease to derive tneir
means OF support from government.
Secretary H0ke Smith sent to congress,
in reply to resolution, the number OF
dismisal5 made by him in his depart
ment, and also some 9th er particulars.
Tue most striking fact in the reply is
that 212 old veterans have been remoV-
ed. 1t is stated that there were 60 re-
instated which means men who were
removed before this administration
came into Office, or who lost their places
for other reasons. Between March 4,
1893, and April 19, 1894, the list shows
that there were 760 appointments, 176
reinstatements, 883 dismissals, and SO
destinations by request.

Free Fight,

ROME. June 6.-The debate in the
Chamber of Deputies this afternoon
was remarkable for its bitterness. Lul-
gi Dlligenti, Radical, delivered long
TRADE against Felice Cavalotti, ex-
treme Radical. At the close of his
speech be turned toward Cavalotti and
shaking his fist at him exclaimed, "YOu
dishOnoEed yourself by a dishonest al
lance with Gioletti." Cavalotti sprang
to his feet white with rage and called
back, "You coward and liar, you shall
suffer for those words" Cayalotti's
friends tried to restrain him, but he
broke away from them, caught Dlligen-
ii by the Waistcoat and struck him
three heavy open handed blows in the
face. a dozen deputies threw them
selves between the two men. A hun
dred more gathered round, shouting
for order or reYlling one another. The
uproar drowned the voice Of the deputy
who ascended the tribunal.
