LONDON, Feb. 11.-There was an
unusual amount of interest in the
opening of parliament today Owing
to the many important questions that
will come before the present session,
nearly all the members of both houses

calls for full assemblage. During
the intervals between the last session
and the present both houses Of parlia-

CIVIL SERVICE.

A discussion cT Secretary CarHsle's
observance of civil service methods
came up on a provision OF the deficiency
bill for the appointment of twenty-five
expert money counters.
Mr. Chandler sarcastically pointed
out that the secretary's letter request
ing the twenty-five counters asked that
he be given the selection, as the civil
service commission was not able to
furnish the class of counters required.
1t was thus discovered, said Mr.
Chandler, that the civil service COM
mission had broken down and was 50
feeble and dilapidated that 1t could not
furnish money counters.
Mr.. Lodge (Rep.. Mass.) said there

WITH A FLATIRON.

William Sander, colored man, twen-
ty-siX years old, was arrested by De-
tective Kenealey last evening on a
warrant sworn out by William Per-
kins. of 426 Charles street, charging as
sault with a dangerous weapon. The
assault is alleged to have been made
upon Mabel Perkins, the seventeen
year-old daughter of the complainant,
who was staying at the home of San
der's mother, 420 East Seventh. The
weapon used is a flatiron, with which
Sander is said to have struck the girl
in the head. After the assault, which
took place at IL o'clock yesterday
morning, the young woman walked to
the home of friends living at 151
Twelfth street, where, after dressing
small cut in the back of her head,
she was put to bed. Sander says the
girl had been told by his mother to
leave the house, and upon her refusal
to do so he spoke to her about taking
her departure when, he claims, she
called him a vile name. This made
him angry, and he told her not to re-
peat the epithet or he would strike her.
Sander claims the girl did So and that
he retaliated by throwing the fiatiron
at her head. When Sander learned the
police were looking for him he volun-
tarily gave himself up. William Per-
kins. the father of the injured girl, Is

The chamber of commerce was in
formed yesterday by Chairman Lin
deke, of the mercantile committee that
no existing ordinance or law would do
away with the undesirable competition
OF travelling retailers The latter visit
the city during holiday seasons and re-
main but few weeks, transacting their
business on cheap and temporary ba-
SIS, which takes away many customers
from regular establishments Mr. Lin
deke based his report on the statements
OF Assistant City Attorney Phillips
Col: Cloug thought the report should
De adopted. it being clearly useless to
attempt an interference with the con-
stitutional rights of the travelling ner-
chants. Gen. Sanborn, however, be-
l1eVed that some general regulation
might be made which would do away
with this evil The city attorney should
be called upon for a written report. Col.
Clough replied that if a uniform tax
were instituted, it might weigh heavily
upon retail merchants who do not move
from place to place. The subject was
finally referred once more to the mer-
camille committee, who will investigate
the possibility of a reform.
The committee on transportation re-
ported, through Chairman Kirk, this
resolution:
Resolved That it is the sense of this
extended Immediately Fifth street. from
Robert street to Broadway thence to Sew
enth street, thence up Seventh street to Rob-
ert street, thence to Eighth street and up
Eighth street to Wabasha street.
The object Of this change is to give
persons who patronize various impor-
tant car lines closer access to the
union depot and to lower town. Col.
Clough explained that the tracks were
already laid for the extension, and that
the property owners were willing to pay
the expense of constructing the two
curves. On motion of Mr. Lindeke, the
resolution was adopted with one dis
senting vote.
The chamber accepted with regret the
proffered resignation Of H. L. Williams,
and elected in his place Edward J.
Schurmeier. Mr.. Williams added to his
resignation the explanation that he was
about to start to California on account
of falling health
