FIGHT ON THE CHANNEL.
That Is to Relieve Chicago of Her Sewage
Next Year.

Next Year.
Chicago, July 13.-Arrangements are
being made by the sanitary district
trustees to take the Illinois delegation
of representatives down the canal and
along the Illinois river in order to edu-
cate them. A tussle is expected in
congress just as soon as the assembly
is opened and some lively skirmishing
already is being done to secure pledges
from the representatives as to their
attitude on the canal question. In or
der to prevent the st. Louis and the
valley elements from making any fight
on the floor of congress. it is proposed
to turn the water into the big ditch
before Dec. L.
All the representatives. from the state
and the senators will be invited to ac-
company this expedition. The Chicago
delegation is regarded as safe so far
as the sanitary district is concerned.
Owing to the sentiment against the
sanitary district in the Illinois valley
and along the route of the Illinois
river. the main antagonism in congress
is expected from representatives of
that part of the state. st. Louis also
promises to instruct it's national rep
resentatives to open fire as soon as
congress assemblies.

Item-Chandler Also OuarreIs with the
Commissioner aud VIII Ask for His
Official Scalp.
Concord, n. H, July 13.-The hear
ing in connection with charges of vio-
lating civil service laws against Sena-
tor Jacob II. Gallinger, preferred by
Former Governor Charles A. Busiel,
was continued yesterday. Only two
witnesses had responded to the in
yitation of the commissioner to be
present at the session. They were Post
masters Henry Robinson, of Concord,
and III. A Spaulding, of Nashua Their
testimony was to the effect that cam
paign circulars asking for assessments
for campaign purposes had been sent
out as alleged in the charges. In the
course of the afternoon proceedings
were interrupted by an exciting episode
between Senators Gallinger and Chand-
Ter, who were only prevented from
coming to blows by the interference of
friends. Chandler accused Gallinger of
being responsible for the absence from
the hearing of Treasurer Thayer, Of
the state committee.
Dared Him Out in the Alley.
Senator Gallinger dared Senator
Chandler to repeat the statement out
side of the room. Hot words followed
and the senators advanced towards
each other with clenched fists, when
interference prevented blows. Com
missioner Brewer threatened to have
Senator Chandler forcibly removed, but
quiet was restored and the hearing pro-
cSeded. This is how it began. After
an exchange of opinion as to the open
ing and closing of the case and the ad
mission of evidence after the close of
the hearing, argument and brief,
Chandler remarked: THE commission
seems to have found out everything
connected with this investigation ex-
cept who wrote the assessment, penned
the office-holders, who fixed the sums
to be assessed, who directed the en-
velopes and who sent them out. The
essential things have not been ascer-
tanned. 1t is for the commission to do
this and fine these men -
Brewer Objects to the Remarks.
Here he was interrupted by Brewer,
81 object to these things being taken
down.
Chandler-Very we'll, will say it
without having it taken down.
Brewer-Not in this room. This is
my room, and l pay for it.
Senator Chandler am not to be
muzzled in this room. l have my
rights.
Brewer-You have no rights except
those of a gentleman.

of hard campaigning through three
months of tropic weather Since the
middle of May no volunteer regiment

After a further colloquy in which by

ceeded to say that the man most
wanted in connection with the inves-
tigation did not happen to be present
'Mr. Thayer is in this city today, and
1 believe he has been kept away by
Senator Gallinger," said Chandler
Gallinger and his counsel, Attorney
General Eastman, at once shouted:
That is absolutely false; it is not
true" Eastman continued, calling
Chandler a liar and said Il do not care
if you are United States senator"
Chandler retorted: And l do not
care if you are attorney general and
are defending criminals when you
should be prosecuting them
Gallinger appealed to the chair.
Chandler said: Men who call other
men liars do not need protection.

kept Mr.. Thayer away
Gallinger shouted: You don't dare
to come outside this room and say
that
Il will go outside and say it," re-
piled Chandler, starting for the door
Friends restrained both men and
after a few minutes of confusion the
hearing went on. Gallinger read a pre-
pared statement holding the case
against him to be utterly collapsed and
protesting against its further contin-
uance. He then left the room, and his
counsel. Eastman, spoke with a view
to softening the harsh words he had
used to Chandler. The latter made a
similar concession to Attorney General
Eastman, and under such happy aus
pices the meeting adjourned, probably
never to resumed.
Chandler made statement last night
declaring that Commissioner Brewer
prejudiced the case and conducted it in
partial manner; that he showed great
discourtesy to the complainants and
made it impossible for the case to be
fairly and fully presented. 1t is under
stood that Chandler will ask President
Mckinley for the removal of Commis-
sioner Brewer on these charges.
