Fifteen hundred people yelled them
selves hoarse as the play went on. The
leading feature was the. excellent team
work of the Oregon eleven. and 1t was
by THIS that the washingtonials were pre-.
vented from scoring. A stubborn, per-
sistent defease in the face of certain de-
feat was the strong point OF the Wash
ingtonians, and twice they forced the tail
to within ten yards Of the college goal.

generally considered as one of the most
prominent leaders Of the Bushnell-F For
aker element his positive statement is
regarded as rejecting an agreement
among Republican leaders in Ohio on
Chairman Hanna for the senate.
Cox sadie he regretted that Sherman
had not made his resignation AXE effect
at C instead of March 5. SO tina the
appointemnt could ave been made at
once and no opportunity been given for
the publications about alleged factional
fights in Mckinley's state. Cox insists
that he has moi deserted either Govern
or ushne or Senator Foraker, but
that he is as good a friend to them as
ever. although he is emphatically for
Hanna and harmony. He says Ohio has
not had two Republicans in the senate
at the same time for twenty-five years.
but that the state will soon have the
president, premier and two senators.

Attacks b Civn Service Commission.
Washington. Feb. 1s.-Allen Of Ne
braska made An attack on the civil SER
vice commission In the senate yesterday,
speaking to q resolution relating to dis
missals from office at South Omaha,
Neb. He said the alleged causes of dis
missal were utterly puerile. He declared
that in the case Of two ladies' who were
discharged their offense was that of
having Bryan's picture in their window.
There were six other ladies, Allen said,
who had Mckinley pictures in their
windows, but they were not disturbed.
The ladies' who displayed the Bryan pic
lures did it in honor of a citizen of their
W state n yet, Allen said, this ad-
ministration had brought about the dis
charges. The senator cited other cases

legged. because they had spoken for
Bryan. Allen declared that from this 1t
had appeared that the civil service law
was a fraud and a delusion, and that
the civil service commission was using
it for most unworthy purposes. Aliens
resolution calling on the civil service
commission for full information as to
the South Omaha discharges was then
agreed to.
Palmer Opposed to "Nativism.~
Lodge then brought forward the con-
ference report on the immigration bill.
He explained that the bill as now pre-
sentedmodif1ed the provision on the
language in which an immigrant is to
read or write to English or some other
language. 1t also overcame the objec-
ton that husband and wife might be
separated. The Corliss amendment rela-
tive to Canadian border immigration
was retained.
Palmer opposed the report. He said he
knew Of no sentiment for which he had
greater detestation than "nativism."
He held the right of migration and ex-
patriation to be ESSENTIAL to the liberty of
individuals. This bill was an extension
of the same sentiment of nativism. Pal
mer pointed out defects in various Sec
lions.
..Brawling Anarchi:t." Able to Read.
The test of illiteracy would. he said.
operate against a worthy class, and not
against h dangerous men, the Draw
ling anarchists" who were able to read
and write. He said the restriction on
Canadian border immigration was with
out a parallel in the legislation of the
world. 1t was a remarkable movement
to originate in the land Of the free and
the home Of the brave" With the adop-
ton Of this miserable, narrow policy our
neighbors north and south would be in
vited to adopt a similar course. 1t was
an outrage, he declared, on the comfy
Of nations and the civilization Of the
age.
