Concord, N. H.. July 12.-The afternoon session of the hearing in connection with the charges of violating civil service laws against Senator Jacob H. Gallinger, pre- ferred by ex-Governor Charles A. Busiel, was productive of a warm coHoquy De- tween the two New Hampshire senators The lie was passed between Senators Chandler and Gallinger and Senator Chan- dler and Commissioner Brewer had become involved in a dispute which, the senator says, will lead him to ask President Me- Kinley for the removal of MT. Brewer from the civil service commission.
 A letter from Louis V. Hoyt, secretary of the republican state committee, contained a statement from Senator Gallinger that the matter of assessment was never dis cussed nor acted upon by the committee The senator's letter referred to informed the commission that the charge against him was concocted by evil-minded, malicious persons, and that the complaints were not made in good faith but for the purpose of revenge. After an exchange of opinion as to the admission of evidence, Senator Chan dler remarked: '"rhe commission seems to have found out everything connected with
 
 assessment, who fixed the sums to be as- sessed, who directed the envelopes and who sent them out.
 Committee Must Ascertain

 ' Senator Gallinger shouted "You don't dare come outside this room and say that" "I will go outside and say it." replied MT. Chandler, starting for the door, ;, Friends restrained both men and after a few minutes of confusion the hearing went on.
 Senator Gallinger read 0 prepared state ment showing the case against him to be utterly collapsed and protesting against its further continuance. He then left the room and his counsel, MT. Eastman spoke with a view to softening the harsh words he had used to Senator Chandler. The latter made a similar concession to Attorney General Eastman, and under such happy auspices the meeting adjourned, probably never to resume.
 No Further Action
