Anti-Civil Service Reformers victorious
IN the House,


In the House.
Washington, Jan. o. The anti.civil
service reformers scored victory in
the house today. The executive Iegis-
lative and judicial appropriation bill
was taken up for consideration, and
then, when the appropriation for the
civil service commission was reached,
Evans made motion to strike it out.
This motion has been made annually
for dozen years or more, but invari-
ably failed. But today the opponents
OF the law laid great stress on the fact
that they could not get decisive vote
upon the proposition, and were there
fore compelled to seek its notification
in this manner. Even these appeals
failed to bring out the full strength Of
the opposition, though the motion TO
strike out carried by narrow margin,
67 to 81. This was in committee Of
the whole. where no record was made
of the vote. Moody gave notice that
he would demand record vote In the
house, where the friends OF the civil
service law expect to reverse the deci-
sion.
When the senate convened today the
resolution offered yesterday by Hoar.
calling on the president for information
as to the instructions to the commits
sioners who negotiated the treaty Of
Paris, together with all correspondence
and reports relating to their work. was
laid before the senate. Chairman
Davis, one OF the commissioners. asked
that it be referred to the foreign rela-
tions committee. but Hoar insisted
that the senate bad as much right to
such information as the members of
the foreign relations committee. and
that the president should determine
whether the senate should have it.
The resolution was adopted in secret
session. In support Of the resolution
offered some time ago by Vest, in oppo-
sition TO expansion, Gallery delivered

To Greet the President.

Washington, May 9O.-The president
has been anxious to meet all the troops
who served in the Philippines, if this were
practicable, and he has agreed to go to
Minneapolis and st. Paul to greet the
Minnesota volunteers.
With the possibility that the president
might be unable to continue his trip far
ther west the Twin Cities have undertake
en- to arrange for the mobilization of all
the volunteers as their guests. The first
troops are expected to arrive at San Fran
cisco the middle of June and the last by
August /. The jubilee therefore will &C.
cur probably early in August.
The presidents acceptance of this invi-
tation does not necessarily mean that he
has abandoned his contemplated trip to
the coast.

strike Feared in the SLOGAN.

Sandon, B. c., May 29.-Intense inter
est is developing in the operation of the
new eight-hour law that must go into eff
feet not later than the 18th of June. On
the streets and hotel lobbies, it is the only
subject of discussion, and Thursday next
is anxiously awaited for the decision of
the miners union as to whether members
will accept the $50 rate offered by the mine
owners association for eight hours work.
On and after the lst of June only those
willing to work under the new conditions
will have employment in the mines Of the
association.
Opinion is largely divided here as to
the outcome. Some believe that the union
will prohibit its members from accepting
less pay than they at present receive for
lO-hour shift, and will order a general
strike, in which event practically all the
big mines will close down until such time
as they can get enough non-union men to
accept their terms. In this connection the
local merchants, who are mostly in SYM
pathy with and controlled by mine own
ers, will probably refuse further credit to
any who strike.

New York, May 30.-A letter received

Philippines, tells of the tortures inflicted
upon captured Americans by the Filipinos
Two OF our men," says Culross, STRAY
ed from camp yesterday and did not re-
turn. Today we found them in the woods
Their foreheads were slashed in the form
OF cross, the skulls being split. The
tongues and heart had been cut out and
their legs hacked to pieces.
''The boys of the Fourth infantry have
resolved to give no quarter hereafter, for
they have reached the conclusion that ev-
eryone else will soon reach-that the only
good Filipino is dead Filipino. They can
not fight in the open, but steal on us at
night and pick off our men. They seem
to be better shots at night than in the day
time"
Savage Brutality.
New York, May 30.-A special from
Washington says:
Information received here in private let
tiers from officers serving in the Philippines
state the Filipinos show no respect to the
American dead. In one instance an officer
who was on the firing line says he was
shocked to see three bodies of American
soldiers who had been killed in an advance
and were brought to the American lines
badly mutilated. The ears of each of the
corpses had been removed, the noses cut
off and the hearts torn out.
Such mutilation disproves Aguinaldo's
claim that the insurgents are conducting
a civilized warfare. The American troops
give the Filipino dead a decent burial and
provide every comfort and medical treat
ment possible for the wounded.
Murder of Soldier.
San Francisco, May 3O-The steamer
China, from Hong Kong via Honolulu,
brings news of the murder of an American
soldier named George Ryan near Malolos.
His frightfully mutilated body was found
on April II. The body was dashed to
raft floating in the river. The skull was
crushed and both arms had been cut off at
the elbows.
Ryan was the man who in 1898, while
serving in the provisional army of Hawaii,
stole the crown jewels. He was sentenced
to long term, but was pardoned last De-
cember. He slowed on a transport for
Manila, where he entered the ranks.

The natives had white flag flying over
the cable house when the party landed.
The latter, however, were no sooner on
shore than they were fired upon by the
natives. They at once took to the water
and a number of them were picked up in
