HARLOW ON CIVIL SERVICE.

Washington, Jan 1S.-Civil Service
Commissioner Harlow was before the
senate civil service investigation com
mittee today. He said that under the
patronage system, a large number of
states and territories had not received
a just allotment of appointments, while
others had more than they were entitled
to- on the basis of population.
The nearer the government ap-
preached to the eight hour law for EN-
ployees, the less reason would people in
private employment have for being dis
satisfied with their own condition.
Chief Examiner Server of the COM
mission testified that, up to date, 300,-
230 people had been examined, and ST.
557 appointed to office, not including re-
instatements. The entire expense of
the examinations was $2.74 each, and the
cost of examining and certifying these
appointments to office was $11.75 each.

SECOND COMING OF CHRISTI
An Address by Boston Clergyman al
the South Baptist Church.

At the South Baptist Church, Tuesday
evening. Rev. ]. M. Gray of Boston an
nounced as the subject Of his address
before the Mems Union, "The second
coming of Christ" He said the second
coming is one of the most important
truths taught in religion, it being re-
ferred to 300 times in the New Testa-
ment. All scholars admit the teaching
of second coming to be a fact, but
some try to evade the direct truth, by
declaring that the second coming is the
descent of the Holy Land, or some
time appearances of Christ in the world,
when in a certain sense there has been
a great spiritual awakening, or move
ment, like the reformation. But the New
Testament does not allow this. 1t i'm
plicitly says that this second coming is
to be a personal coming Of Christ on
earth.
Regarding the time of his coming we
have no right to set dates, yet the New
Testament declares that it will be be-
fore the milleneum. This is taught by
Christ himself, by the teaching of anci-
ent history, and by the vision Of the
milleneum in the Revelations.

VIOLENCE DEPLoRED.
Resolution on Disturbance of Monday at
New Bedford Adopted.


New Bedford, Jan. 1S.-The Weayers'
Union at its meeting this afternoon
voted to endorse the action of the mass
meeting held in the rink, Friday night,
to make the removal of the fines system
an issue of the strike.
Ihe vote was taken after a discussion
of considerable length, and it was quite
close shave for the issue, inasmuch as
the president ruled that it required a
two-thirds vote the same as any other
question of strike.
There were 536 votes cast, and the re-
quired two-thirds was 1854 The vote on
the adoption Of the issue was; Yes, 1888,
no I5S, the majority over the required
two-thirds, therefore, 10.
City Hall was filled with nearly 600
weavers, about a third of whom were
women. The meeting was a lively one,
and during its progress President Cum
neen was frequently called upon to use
considerable diplomacy in keeping order
The meeting then unanimously adopt
ed the following resolution:
Resolved, that the weavers, in mass
meeting assembled, do deplore the ac-
ton taken by some persons in the vi
cinity of the Bristol mill, and that we
will do all in our power to prevent the
destruction of property which has taken
place at the Bristol or any other mill in
this city"
| With relation to the matter of the re-
quest of the weavers Of Wamsutta
mills Nos. 1, 2 and Z, to return to work
on the promise that they would not be
cut, the meeting voted to lay the mat
| ter on the table.
The spinners' union tonight voted to
pay the members of the union strike
| 81 per week per member, each member
| to be allowed 25 cents extra for every
child in his family under IS years old

Importance of the islands to the United

military Importance of the islands. Mr..

try and some other power.

Death Of the Husband of Madame Patti
Nicolini.

Death of the Husband of Madame Patti
Nicolini.
London, Jan. 1S.-Signor Nicolini, hus-
band Of Madame Adeline -Nicolini,
died today at Pau, France
The late Signor ErnestNicolini married
Madame Patti in Wales in 1886. She
had been divorced from the Marquis De
CauX. His health began to fail in the
early part of last year, and it was re-
ported that he was suffering from a
cancerous affection and from comph-
cation of other disorders. For a time
he showed signs Of improvement, but
for months he has been steadily grow
ing worse. He finally became terribly
emaeiated and was confined to his
room until his removal to Pau, where
the malady soon developed more seri-
Gus symptoms. Both he and Madame
Patti were now aware Of the fatal ma
ture of his illness, and friends have de-
scribed the absolute devotion Of the two
as touching in the extreme. Nicolini
could scarcely bear to have her out Of
his sight for a moment. Madame Patti
of late had rarely left him except for
flying trips to fill a few engagements.

THE CURRENCY HEARING.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-Secretary Gage
proceeded today with the currency
hearing before the house committee on
banking and currency. The early hours
of the hearing were given to a discus
sion of the sufficiency of the bank guar
anty on unsecured circulation, as pro-
vided by the various bills. Chairman
Walker, in a series of questions, sought
to show that the guaranty required by
the Gage bill and the monetary bill
would impose an onerous burden on the
banks far beyond the losses which ex-
perience had shown would occur. Mr.
Gage said that the safety fund in his
bill was placed at point which he re-
garded as safe, and if found too high, it
could be reduced.

FRANCE ALARMED.
Anti-Semite Movement Spread.
ing Through the Provinces.
Attempts at Open Demonstrations Sup
pressed in Paris-Many Arrests Made
at Nantes for RIotlng

Paris, Jan. 1S.-There was much agi-
tation in the Latin quarter this eve
ming, but the police barred the bridges
and all attempted demonstrations
were suppressed.
The organizing committee Of yester-
days meeting at the Tivoli vauxhall has
decided to hold another meeting Satur-
day next in the Latin quarter, and a
public demonstration Sunday in the
Place de la Concorde.
The effervescence increases in the
provinces, Shops of Jews at Nantes
have been stoned. NJ Clemenceau's pa
per, the Aurore, was publicly burned in
front of the Military Club at Bordeaux,
where serious disorders took place The
police were roughly handled, and the
guards finally charged the mob. Thir-
ty-two arrests have been made. Tele-
grams from most of the large towns
show that the anti-Jewish crusade is
assuming most menacing proportions.
The government is seriously alarmed.
Another strong attempt, it is said, will
be made in the chamber of deputies Sat
urday to overthrow the cabinet.

THE GREAT STRIKE.
No Disturbances Occurred in the
Mill Cities Tuesday.
Question Of Fines Made a Definite Issue
in New Bedford Non-union Men
are Anxious.

Boston, Jan 1S.-Determination upon
the part of employer and employee,
coupled with defined issue. and an alb
sence of any demonstration, were the
features of the second day in the great
contest in the cotton industry of New
England.
AS on yesterday, interest centred all
most entirely in the strike at New Bed
ford, where the disturbances of yester-
day afternoon and last evening led to
the belief that similar demonstration
might be attempted today. Nothing of
the sort occurred, and the strikers
strengthened their case by making the
question of fines a definite Issue with
the mill owners. 1t is just possible that
an agreement on this question may lead
to some satisfactory ending OF the
whole matter in that city, although at
present such an outcome seems far dis
tant. 1t was at a meeting of the weav-
ers' union at New Bedford that the
question of fines was taken up and
made an issue by very close vote The
matter of financial support to the strik-
ers was also generally discussed, not
only in New Bedford but in Biddeford,
Saco and Lewiston, Me-, and while the
union strikers seem to have no anxiety
regarding the next three months, the
non-union men who are out have a
feeling that they may not receive suf-
fieient assistance during the labor trou-
bles.
In Fan River the superintendent (of
King Philip MILL where there is a strike,
went SO far as agreeing to remedy union
grievances, but other than this there ap-
peared no change in the limo of tho man
ufacturers today. The hundred thou
sand operatives in all six of the New
England states are watching the con-
test in New Bedford, Saco and Bidde-
ford very closely, and any sign of weak
ening on the part of either manufac-
turer or operative will be the signal for
some general labor movement

DADMUN RUNNING FAST.
He Easily Wins a Place on the B. A. A.
Relay Team.

Harry L. Dadmun will be one of the
runners upon the Boston Athletic Asso-
ciation's relay team which is to run the
Knickerbocker Athletic Club at the B. A.

places upon the team were run in the
B. A. A. gymnasium, and at the earn
est solicitation of John Graham, Mr.
Dadmun went down to do the distance
Not only was he successful in getting
a place on the team, but there was but
one man, Bremen of Harvard, who made
as fast time as Dadmun. This is re-
markable when it is considered that
Dadmun has not had on running shoe
for more than a year. while the men
against whom he competed have been
in active athletic training for several
weeks past.
