cl,n service Reform Attacked in the

senate.
The United States Senate was uneX-
pectedly precpitated into debate on the
civil service reform question on Tuesday,
which resulted in the adoption of resolu-
ton for the investigation Of the system
The outbreak against the reform was start
ed by Mr.. Allen, the Populist senator from
Nebraska, who alleged that government
employees under the classified service had
been removed at South Omaha, Neb, be
cause they were supporters OF Mr.. Bryan.
As a result Of Mr.. Aliens impetuous as
sault Senators Gallinger OF New Iamp-
shire, Wilson o: Washington, Stewart of
Nevada and German of Maryland had their
say and heaped ridicule upon the system.
Senator Hawley announced his support of
the policy of civil service reform, but said
there are "glaring abuses in the classified
service as at present administered. The
Massachusetts senators, Hoar and Lodge,
ably defended the system, and Senator
Hoar prevented any more hostile move
against the classified service by proposing
a resolution for the investigation of the
DOtNh ouhuh alAdll anu Va Allf question
whether the system be continued, amend
ed or repealed" This means a careful
investigation into the workings of the civil
service law, of the examinations held, of
the promotions in Office and in general of
its administration
The committee which will conduct the
investigation consists of Senators Hoar,
Galinger and Gray, and it can be safely
foretod that the report of the committee
will not be unfayorable to the law. Hoar
and Gray will uphold it., Gallnger, as he
indicated in his remarks on the resolution,
will recommend its repeal. During the
debate Mr.. Gallinger disgraced himself and
his constituency by declaring in the badest
way for return to the spols system pure
and simple. He declared the civil service
law as administered today monumental
humbug;" he had voted against it in the
other House and he wanted now chance
to vote to blot out the statute and return
to the old condition of things when every
man and woman had an equal right to
hold office with every other man and
woman. The New Hampshire senator
capped the climax of his attack by declar-
ing that, "When senators and congressman
ask men to help them in their election,
they have right to come to us and ask us
to exert ourselves to procure positions for
them under the government, l shall stand
on that position"

Mrs. Victoria CIanln Martin.

John Biddulph Martin, the millionaire
banker and author of London who died
this week. was the husband OF Victoria
ClaAin Woodruff. Victoria Cla1in was the
daughter of an Ohio LAWYER, and when a
child was married to DR.. Woodruff of New
York, who died, leaving her with two chill
dren. Mrs. Woodruff and her sister,
Tennessee Clatin, then formed a brokerage
firm in New York, and after it was rumor-
ed that Commodore Vanderbilt was placing
his orders with them they did a large
business, and were reputed to have made
fortunes Victoria started paper in New
York and added to her notorety by lectur-
ing in decidedly plain language upon "cry-
ing evils" One issue of her paper was
suppressed on account Of the charges which
it made against Henry Ward Beecher.
These charges afterwards resulted in the
Beecher-Titon trial. In 1872 Mrs. Wood
hull announced herself as the woman suf-
fragiSt candidate for the presidency of the
United States.
Soon after the campaign the sisters went
to England, and in ISIS Victoria was mar
ried to Mr.. John Martin. Her sister be-
came Lady Cook Since her marriage Mrs.
Martin has done much literary work of the
advanced woman order. BY her hus-
bands death she becomes one of the rich
est women of the world.

David Pennington, insane, started out
Friday at Obebolt Ia, with shot gun in
hand TO kill the people who had incurred
his enmity. \. 2. Walter, whom he first
sought, escaped by hiding. He then went
to the house of Hiram Johnson, and shot
Mrs. johnson in the shoulder and back
He emptied both barrels into Luther Traver,
an aged man, killing him instantly. Then
he pointed the gun at Mrs. Frank Stolt, a
neighbor, who came to the door on hearing
the noise. She ran into the doorway, clos
ing the storm door behind her, but Penning-
ton fired through it, wounding her in the
abdomen.
Pennington retreated across some vacant
lots, loading his gun as he called to an
officer and dared him to shoot. He eX-
claimed: "Well, if you haven't got the
nerve to shoot, have" Then he placed
the muzzle of the gun to his own forehead
and blew the top of his head off. 1t is
thought that Mrs. Stolt cannot recover,
but Mrs. Johnsons injuries, while severe,
are not fatal.

Mr. Gladstone Speaks Out against the
"Concert of Europe"

Under the guise of an open letter to the
Duke of Westminster Mr.. Gladstone has
made an outspoken and ringing attack on
the course now being followed in European
politics under cover of the "Concert of the
Powers'-a course which has allowed the
Armenian massacres to proceed without
protest or hinderance, and which now
gives cover to the coercion of Greece when
that little kingdom has bravely taken up
the fight single-handed. Mr.. Gladstone's
sharpest shafts are pointed at 1.-TWO young
men" the Emperor of Germany and the
Car of Russia: "At this moment two
great states, with a European population
of 140 or perhaps $50 millions, are under
the government of two young men, each
bearing the high title cf emperor but in
one case wholly without knowledge or eX-
perience; in the other, having only such
knowledge and experience, in truth limit
ed enough, as have excited much astonish-
ment and some CONSERVATION when an
inkling of them has been given to the
world" The power of the government
administered by these two young men has
been used to fight steadily against freedom
in the European concert" and in the
midst of it all, Mr.. Gladstone says, we
have the strange spectacle of the govern
ment of Great Britain "pinned to their
aprons"

No mystery about it, When the Shakers offered
some time ago to give away bottle of their Di-
gestive Cordial TO any one who might call at their
New York office, there was a great rush and
great many people thought they were crazy.
Subsequent events proved it 10 be a very clever
advertising transaction, for although they gave
away thousands Of bottles, it was in the end
profitable; nearly every one that took free bot
tie came back for more and paid for it with
pleasure, saying they had derived better results
from its use than from any other medicine they
had ever used
There is nothing so uniformly successful in
the treatment of stomach troubles as the Shaker

able that children lick the spoon clean.

She hooked on to her bow and six bodies

the Creole believe that this is another of
the Inflated steamer st. Nazaire's boats.
1t is believed that 16 persons from the st.

A Diplomatic DOuche.
An Episode in PARKWAY Siam In which
Minister John barrett OF Grafton Bore
a leading part.
From the Siam Free Press. ]


From the Siam Free Press
An unrehearsed scene was enacted yes
terday at Bangpain, which happily for
those chiefly concerned, ended in light
comedy instead of diplomatic tragedy. The
Hon. John Barrett, minister resident of
the United States, and Baron Won Hart
mann, German minister, were the guests
of his Siamese Majesty at Bangpain. Dur
ing the visit boat race was proposed by
the King, and the two ministers having
heartily entered into the idea, sampans
were procured, and the diplomatic pair set
out. The aquatic contest was vigorously
contested and the 'stars and stripes
came in good first, amidst much royal
excitement, and probably a little quiet
betting among the royal spectators. But
although the German minister is undoubt-
edly strong in diplomacy, the management
of Samese sampan requires other than
diplomatic skill, and in the excitement of
the race II. l. G. NJ. representative went
overheard. Excitement was now at white
heat But the United States bore calamity
down to the rescue of the struggling
fatherand.
The Hon. John Barrett is not the man
to desert friend or foe in distress, for he
was soon with the struggling, half-choked
diplomatst, and doing his utmost to land
him safely But again the treacherous
Siamese sampan played diplomacy false,
and in the gallant attempt at rescue, the
American went overheard and Joined Ger
many in the yellow waters of Bangpain.
There never was such a scene of excite
ment witnessed before in Siam. The King
is said to have turned pale with anxiety,
though, it is whispered, untruly, we shall
hope, that her Siamese Majesty smiled,
and thought the whole affair was an i'm
mense joke. The unhappy pair of drip
ping diplomatists were at length ished out
of the deep and landed little the worse for
their uncomfortable bath
But their troubles were not yet over. A
change was desirable, and diplomacy in
"panungs' was not to be seriously enter
tanned. In this dilemma a gallant Siamese
major, warm of heart and lank of limb,
opportunely arrived on the scene, and Of
fered his khaki uniform. 1t was accepted,
but although of little inconvenience TO the
United States, the fit was somewhat tight
for Germany. That, however, was not
the fault OF the uniform breeches. Shirt
less and sockless the shipwrecked pair of
diplomatists journeyed back to Bangkok,
though report has it that both the genial
representatives enjoyed the douche and
the ridiculous situation quite as heartily as
the spectators. The German minister OBJ
served due caution in keeping an upright
position in the confined space allowed him
by the uniform trousers, and Bangkok was
reached without further adventure.
An old Siamese saw says that all foreign
representatives ought "to drink of Menam
water In the present instance this wise
saw has been thoroughly appreciated.
