WASHINGTON, d. c.. June 21.-
Little else is discussed in Washington
to-day save the terrific fight between
white and colored draughtsmen Of the
Office Of the Supervising Architect Of
the Treasury yesterday. While both
Cook and Woodson, the negroes, were
badly battered, they are at work.
Secretary Cortelyou said to-day that
as the draughtsmen are under the
civil service rules he cannot act with
absolute freedom in suspending the
offending parties. but that when Super
vising Architect Taylor returns to the
office Monday the matter will be fully
investigated, ana the offenders will be
appropriately punished either by sus-
pension or disnpi ssal.l
AS matter Of fact, the situation is
such that the white men will have to
be dismissed, If anybody is. Theme
groes were grossly insolent and often
slve In their manner, but this Is not
an offenso against the rules of the civil
service. The first trouble arose over
l.Woodson, tho negro appointed a few
days ago, coming through the draught-
1nB-foOm last week with his hat on
One Of the white draughtsmen told him
to take off his hat. The negro made
some Inaudible reply, but did as ht
was told.
Cook, the other negro draughtsman
said openly that were he to receive
such-an order as that he would knocl
somebody's head off. i
Feeling Very Bitter.
The feeling has been very tense |,

occurrence. Yesterday afternoon wher

Knocked the Negro Down.

Ryder finally Knocked down the no.
gro. and repeated the performance
when Woodson stood UP again. This
greatly angcred Cook the other col
ored draughtsman, who had come In,
and he rushed to the aid of Woodson.
This was the signal for the white
draughtsmen to take hand, and they
proceeded to beat the negroes very Sc
verely. The fight terminated by the
negroes getting out Of the room It
was already time to quit work.
It is difficult to ascertain the facts
concerning the affair, as the utmost So
crecy is preserved. The forcgo ing is
correct. Tho outcome of tho trouble
Will probably be the dismissal Of Sow
eral employees OF The office.
