USE OF FEDERAL PATRONAGE.
Representative shufOrd Demands an
InvestigntfOn.

Washington. April 2S.-Representative
Shuford of North Carolina introduced a
resolution to-day "to investigate the ex-
tent to which federal patronage is being
used TO control legislation and corrupt
the public service"
The preamble recites that charges have
been publicly made that the use of the
federal patronage has become national
disgrace and a menace to our institutions;
that II is charged that IL Is being used
TO control conventions, coerce congresses
and manipulate the supreme courts; that
the power of 100000 federal officers CEN
tered in the chief executive absorbs the
independence OF other coordinate
branches OF the government: that circum-
stances seem TO justify the belief that
executive influence through the use Of
federal patronage was exerted to secure
the repeal of the purchasing clause of the
sherman act at the extra session of tho
Fifty-thlrd congress, and that It Is be-
leved that this abuse OF the executive
prerogatlve has been practised for many
years. But never eliminating to thar
shameful and alarming extent as during
the term OF the present administration"
1t Is resolved, therefore, that a commit
tee OF five be appointed to investigate the
subject and report some plan by which
this growing evil may be eliminated

CONGRESSMAN IN A FIGHT.
Hall ana Money Come 20 Blows in IA
Committee Room.

Washington, April 2S.-Representatives
Hall OF Missouri and Money OF Mississippi
came to blows to-day in the room of the
House committee of naval affairs. Of
which both are members, and from blows
to throwing heavy glass ink stands.
Mr.. Money received an ugly cash on
the head from an inkstand thrown by Mr.
Hall and was cut and scratched elsewhere
on the face by fragments Of glass.
MIR. Hall was not struck by Moneys
missiles and suffered no injury.
Mr.. Money required the services of q
surgeon to sew up his cut after which he
went home.
Mr.. Hall, shortly after the fracas. took
his accustomed seat in the House. There
are a number OF versions as to how the
difficulty arose, but II seems that while
talking over bill pending before the com
mittee, the lie was passed or exchanged
and the fight begun. There is every prob
ability that one or both would have suf-
fered worse harm If the doorkeeper Of the
committee, Thomas Coakley. had not sep
arated them and given their friends an
opportunity to restrain them.
Half dozen other gentlemen were in the
room at the time. but the affair began
and was at its hight before any of them
could take action to prevent the difficulty.
