Washington. Dec 1.-THE outlook for
changing the civil service law is being
actively canvassed among Republican
members Of the house as a result of the
conference held Saturday night, The
members OF the special committee hav-
Ing the matter in charge are trying to
so shape bill that 1t will command the
support Of a number Of divergent ele-
ments. One of these is the Democratic
minority which. combined with the Re-
publicans opposed to the present law,
would be strong enough to carry a
bill. But In canvassing the situation it
has been found that Democratic MEM
beers would favor a complete repeal Of
the law. but would oppose anything
short Of repeal. As the Republican
movement IL not toward complete re-
peal, but rather for modification Of the
law there appears to be no basis by
which the anti-civil service reformers
OF both parties can unite. 1t is claimed,
however. that a modification bill will
receive the votes Of two-thirds Of the
Republican members. and will have q
good chance Of passing the senate and
receiving the presidents signature.

Pearson OF North Carolina, who in
augurated the movement and Is a men,

Another Point That IL to Figure.

will take and further to employ attorneys
TO make pleadings as in the Virginia
collector of internal revenue case. An
attempt will be made TO define the ex-
act functions of the commission.

The Miners, Strike.

WHEELING, w. Va, July 15.-The
only change in the mining situation in
West Virginia is the closing of the
mines of the Pennington Coal Co., near
Grafton. These mines get out coal for
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
Several of the organizers now work
ing in the State, report progress, but
no more mines have been closed. Aside
from the Panhandle mines and Elem
ington all are busy.
PITTsBURG, Pa, July 15.-While the
settlement of the miners strike on the
basis of uniformity in prices and condi.
tions In the Pittsburg district is re.
garded as almost foregone conclusion,
by the arbitration commissioners many
operators have no confidence in the sue.
cess of the plan. They claim it will be
impossible to get the operators on the
Pennsylvania Railroad to consent to
pay the same rate as may be decided
upon for the Pittsburg district. Thirty
deputies are now on duty at the Sickle
Hollow mines, and no one is allowed to
approach the companys property with
out being challenged.
MAssILLoN, o., July 15.-The min.
ers employed at the Standard mine at
Navarro have joined the strikers. The
Camp Creek minors have also gone out.

ATTEMPTED AssAULT.-Miss Lima
Russell was the victim of an at
tempted assault by an unknown negro
at two o'clock yesterday afternoon, just
beyond the city limits of Richmond on
the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad. Miss
Russell is daughter of Mrs. S. ]. BUS
sell, of Norfolk, who was Visiting
her cousin, Miss Sanderli5, whose ia
Their operates steam laundry in Chest
nut Hill, suburb OF Richmond. They
had reached the railroad crossing lead
ing from the Mechanicsville turnpike
to Chestnut Hill, when the negro, who
was sitting on the track, suddenly
sprang upon Miss Russell. She fought
him vigorously, and they rolled down
the embankment beside the track. The
young lsdy's shrieks frightened the ruff
fan, and he ran off as soon as he got to
his feet. In short while hundred
men formed line and beat the country
in the direction in which he fed. He
has not been caught.
Police this morning captured Joseph
Fife, negro, twenty years old, on sus-
picion of having attempted to outrage
the two white women yesterday. This
morning both women identified Fife,
though he makes a denial. He is in
Jail and will be taken before special
grand jury tomorrow.

THURSDAY EVENING. JULY IS 1897

THE KENTUCKY boilers met in State
convention yesterday, nominated
ticket of their own, and denounced the
republicans for the enactment OF the
new pillagipg tariff bill. Among them
were Senator Lindsay, e1-Secretary
Carlisle and the ever present Mr.. Henry
Watterson. famous for all things, but
especially for the hundred Thousand
unarmed men with whom ne proposed
10 seat MIR. Tilden, and the letter he
imagined he wrote to Gov. Hill. The
common run of people find it difficult
to understand how men supposed to be
intelligent-that is if they have any
opinion of the intelligence Of their fel-
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. not only denounce
the political party they helped to put
into power, but, at the same time, to
avow their intention of doing all they
can to retain it there, as every one OF
the small number of votes their ticket
shall receive, will be taken from the
democratic, and be counted in favor OF
the republican party. The boilers lost
their senses when they deserted their
party, and it really seems as if they
will never regain them.

courage to penetrate into the unknown
depths OF the Yukon district. In the
cabin of the boat were scores of sacks
filed with dust taken from the
placers of the far frozen north. The
amount brought iu is variously estimat-
ed at from $500, 900 to $780, 900. There
were on the Excelsior men who for ten
year toiled but signally failed, but
who now come back with fortunes
slowed in their gripsacks, and untold
millions, they say, are to be picked up
in the country of which so little is
known. The new Eldorsdo lies just
across the Alaskan boundary in British
territory. 1t is ofrecent discovery. but
already there are at least 5000 people
on the ground and more are hocking in

tive of his translation exerts its in.
huence after all these years.
st. Swithin was born of noble parents
in Winchester, England. He became q
monk in the old monastery at Winches-
ter and later provost; he was private
chaplain to Egbert, King of the West
SaIons, and advisor to that king. He
was also tutor and advisor to the kings
son, Ethelwolf. He was bishop of
Winchester in S52, and was remarkable
for his piety and his great activity in
building churches. He died at Win
chester July 2, 1862. His body was
buried, according to his order, where
his grave might be trodden upon by
passengers. In 81 his remains and
relics were transferred to the church.
1t is related that on this translation a
number of miraculous cures of ell
kinds were wrought. His day in the
Roman calendar is July 2d-his death
day-but in the English calendar,
July 18th, the day of the translation of
his relics.

Office. The proposals, after some dis
cussion, were taken under Amusement,

a Terrible Deed.

LONDON, July 15.-Emma Symonds,
the wife of an engine filter, cut the
threats of her four young children and
then her own last night. Symonds re-
turned home about one o'clock this
morning and as he entered his bedroom
he stumbled over the bodies of two Of
his children. Turning in horror to-
ward the bed he saw his wife and two
other children sitting bolt upright,
their throats cut from ear to ear though
life was not then extinct. Itis not pos
sible that any will survive. The room
was despatched with blood and it was
evident hat the children who were ~
ing on the floor fought desperately for
life. 1t appears that Mrs. Symonds
after period of abstinence, broke the
pledge on diamond jubilee day and had
been drinking heavily ever since.

WITH SENATORIAL reports recon
mending the annexation of Hawaii and
demanding the immediate release OF
Cuban prisoners, and instructions to
the American ambassador at London in
reference to the seal fisheries, we'll cal
culated to provoke Great Britain, this
country will be lucky if it shall escape
dangerous complications not only with
the latter, but also with Spain and ia
pan and their hackers. With all this
in view and tariff that must neces-
sarily tend to restrict the sale Of Amer
lean products to the home market, ad
ded to the already existing depressed
state of business and impoverished con-
dition of the people, the outlook OF this
country, at present, is certainly any
thing else than favorable. Mr.. Cleve-
land was content with trying to have
war with Great Britain, but the boilers,
not satisfied with that, helped to elect
the party that has not only revived the
same danger, but subjected the country
to all the others referred to.
