nifty. It is seldom that the high Office

connection with the formation of a
new federation Of liberal associations,
Midlands, of which Earl Spencer will
be the president. The conference
was attended by representatives of all
the Liberal associations of the midland
counties. Lord Rosebery addressed a
great meeting at the town hall in the
evening, and devoted himself to show
ing the political Inconsistency of
Joseph Chamberlain OH all the
great questions before parliament.
He said he had no personal
feeling against Mr.. Chamberlain, and
he had tie sincerest admiration for his
political dexterity and ability. He
greatly regretted the resignation of Mr..
Mundella as president of the beard of
trade. The liquor traffic had become
to be great power, and, if
not soon controlled, would control
the state. He referred to two
small SchiSmS among the ParnelIites
and the Welsh members of parliament
as unalarrning. though thew must not
be ignored in the face of such a small
majority as the government possessed.
Lord Rose berry declared that the gov
eminent was determined to carry the
bill for the disestabiishment of the
Welsh church.

commissioners by no means deprives
Messrs. Proctor, Lyman and Roosevelt
of their positions, even if it is allowed
by tue senate. In tine act Great
ing the commission it is stipu-
lated that there shall be three
commissioners at certain fixed
salaries, and this act still remains in
force. 1t was the intention of the house
to make it Ineffective, but the mere fail

sentative Savers, of Texas. chairman of
the appropriation committee, says that
this course is open to the com.
missioners should congress fail to pro.
vide money for the expenses of the
commission, that the officers could
enjoy asinecure and still call upon the

excited today over a rumor that the
Woman's Auxiliary Of the Con-
federate Veteran Association had a
stormy meeting, and had refused to
decorate Confederate graves because
Breckenridge was member of the vet-

the auxiliary says it will take no part III
the Breckenridge case as body, and
that there will be no refusal to decorate
graves.
Mrs. Nj. A. Harrison, secretary, and
her sister-in-law. Miss Mary Harrison,
vice president of the auxiliary. re-
signed their Offices today. They
are severe in condemnation Of
Breckenridge. and while they give no
open reason for resigning they say
plainly, it ought not be difficult to infer
why they quit the organization. Mrs.
Harrison is daughter of the late Con-
federate Gen. Withers. and Miss Har-

man Gray Will Soon Have His
Report Ready.
WASHINGTON, May &c. W. Buttz,
who is accused of attempting to bride
senators to vote against the tariff bill,
was before the investigating committee
to-day. He gave the committee the
name of E. e. Holman, a claim at
torney OF this city. as one who could
throw light upon the whole transaction
SO far as he (ButtZ) was concerned. Mr.,
Holman was summoned. HoImau.s
testimony furnishes the key to Buttz's
explanation of lis course in the whole
trans ton. When he emerged from
the committee room. MI. Holman
said: my mouth is sealed as 20 the
proceedings in the committee room,
bnt l can say to>you that the story
that l was the principal in the
bribery affair is without fonn =
dation. 1t was through pure
accident that l CHANGED to know any,
thing of the business, and it came about
throug h my happening to be in the
Office of Maj. Harris one day when Mr..
Buttz came in. Harris is lobbyist,
and talk drifted to the tariff. II think
l KNOW" said Maj. Harris, "where
could make S25, 900 or $4,000 if | knew
how the POpuliSts would vote on the
BILL" and turning to Buttz remarked tc
him:
You are just the man to learn that
fact. ana l will give you $1,000 to find
out for me-" [ heard this conversation,
and l suppose that is the reason why
was summoned. L certainly had no con-
nection with any attempt at bribery or
lobbying on the bill. and cannot afford
to have that impression concerning me
go out"
MIR. Holman said that the man Harris,
who had made this proposition to Buttz,
had died on the 1lth of last April, and
that he was the only witness to the con-
vers alton between Harris and BuItz.
Maj. Butts testimony was devoted
largely to an explanation Of his absence
from the city yesterday. He denied
again that he made direct proposition
to bride Senator Kyle. and stated that
his only purpose in approaching him
was to learn how he would vote. After
he came out of the committee room Maj.
ButtZ said he had gone to Loundon
county, Virginia, to look for a witness,
whom he had not found. and had been
detained there. He declared his inten-
ton of remaining until the investigation
was concluded and take the eonse-
quences, whatever they might be.
Senator Gray said today that he knew
of no Other witnesses to call in this
branch of the inquiry. and that the re-
port OIL the alleged effort to bride Sena-
tors Hunton and Kyle would be pre-
pared as soon as possible and submitted
to the senate.

WASHINGTON, May 90. The on
slaught ON tire civil service commission
which was started yesterday was re-
sumed today, and several times during
the day the question was disposed of,
only to break out a moment later in
another place. The appropriation for
commissioners and clerks of the civil
service bureau having been stricken
out yesterday, the next paragraph, pro-
vidiDg for the transfer to the civil
service commission of clerks from the
departments, was stricken from the bill
today.
The house refused to strike out. how
ever. tie appropriation of $1,000 for
travelling expenses of civil service eX.
aminers.
Another amendment made to the bill
gives the secretary of the treasury dis
erection in the temporary appointment
of clerks to wind up the accounts of the
divisions proposed to be abolished ill.,
stead of taking them from the classified
service.
Prior to going into committee of the
whole the house passed the senate bill
