was then started, and everything was
going on very smoothly until the bat
talon was passing in review, when
ball was knocked and as one of the
players was running after it he ran
into Captain Bateman and knocked off
his cap, the crowd then began to cheer,
the battalion moved on and nothing
was thought of this incident. The
battalion then proceeded with their
field movements, and as they were
marching pass the inspecting officers,
I requested a policeman to move back
some of the parties who were in the
line of march, which he did without
any trouble.
At this time 1 was stationed to the
left of the ball grounds, and as far as 1
thought was not in any way conflicting
with the game of ball. 1t has been
stated that at this time a ball was
knocked over in that direction and
struck a horse of member of my
staff. 1 knew nothing of the incident.
About this time the marshal of the
college came to me followed by crowd
of students and ball players, and stated
that the boys had permission to play
on the ball grounds. told him I had
nothing to say as to that, but only
knew that Colonel Jones told me that
he had written permission from the
president of the college to have the
inspection on the grounds. 1 then
requested the policeman to keep the
crowd back and he tried to do so.
The crowd refused to 60 back and
began to defy and abuse the policeman,
who blew his whistle for his colleague,
who was on another part of the
grounds, but still the crowd would not
move back und continued to defy the
policeman. Iturned around and spoke
to the crowd and asked them to move
back, but my request was treated IN
the same manner as that of the police
man. I saw there was going to be
trouble between the policemen and the
crowd, for by this time they had be-
come very much excited !; and seeing
that a conflict was inevitable l consid-
cred the best solution of the difficulty
would be to have the battalion marched
forward, press back the crowd to the
street, thereby rendering any further
conflict possible between the students
and the policemen. At this time there
was no game of ball going on. I then
gave Colonel Jones the order to move
his command forward, which he did.
The men advanced "at right shoulder
arms" and there was no order to
"cbarge," as has been stated. The
troops advanced very steadily and the
majority of the crowd moved back,
but three or four students broke
through the line, near where the colors
were and the policemen attempted to
interfere, the battalion moved on to
the front leaving the policemen and
those students in the rear; then a
general encounter took place between
the students and the policemen.
These are the plain, unvarnished
facts in the case, Notwithstanding the
repeated rumors that have been circu-
lated, many of which have been ab.
surd in the extreme.

congressman and Their Clerks.

To the Editor of The Times:
During the Fifty-third Congress law
was enacted providing for clerks to Sen
ators and Representatives at an annual
salary of $1,000. That law is being
repeatedly violated or there is a loophole
in it by which members can evade it, for
very few of them ever pay their clerks the
fun salary, condition which should lie
remedied I know it to be fact, from
experience and hearsay. that but few OF
the members ever pay their clerks the full
salary which is appropriated for that
specific purpose. I know that some Of the
members make their wives their clerks,
while some do their own work, and the
majority pay only from So to $40 per
week for clerk hire and the balance goes
for their own private use. The members
certify that they have clerk, sign 4
certificate to that effect, accept the 500
each month, and pay their clerks only q
very small portion, about $40, while
they pocket from SEQ to SO each month
which rightly belongs to the clerk. 1t is
only III the House that this is done, for in
the Senate the arrangement is different

Wednesday afternoon, and broke his neck,
