Washinoton, May 2-t.—The onslaught on the civil service commission, which was started Tuesday in the house, was resumed yesterday, and several times during the day the question was disposed of only to break out a moment later in another place. The appropriation for commissioners and clerks for the civil service bureau having been stricken out, Ihe next paragraph, providing for the

, transfer to the civil service commission

of clerks from the departments, was stricken from the hill yesterday. The house refused to strike out, however, the appropriation of $(>,000 for traveling

Comment by CongreKHiuen.

Chairman De Forest of the civil service i commission of the house says: “I am not surprised at the vote in the house to cut off appropriations for the civil service t commission. I have noticed a strong tendency that way for some time. It is probable tnat the allowance for the commission will be cut off on the aye and nay vote yet to tie taken. I doubt, however, if the senate will thus emasculate the commission. If it does, I do not believe President Cleveland will sign the legislative bill, although it would be a perplexing problem to have to veto the entire appropriation bill for paying public officers in order to save this one com-

mission.”

Mr. Enloe, the author of the amendment which cut off the civil service appropriation, says: “From assurances I have received 1 think the house will stand by the amendment on the aye and nay vote. The success of the move voices the feeling of the country against

W ashington, May 24.—Senator Gorman’s speech was the feature of yesterday’s session of the senate. Mr. Gorman and Mr. Brice have been credited by the opposition with the joint authorship of the compromise amendments which consolidated the Democratic side, and Mr. Gorman especially has been subjected to much criticism lioth in and out of the senate. This speech in a measure was a reply to attacks made upon him. explaining the necessity of compromise and defining the theory upon which the modified bill was constructed. It was regarded as an exceedingly able exposition of the position of the conservatives. Mr. Gorman’s speech furnished texts for the Republicans for the remainder of the day. His statement that a majority of the senate would support the bill was put to the test by Mr. Teller, whose purpose was to “smoke out” any latent opposition on the Democratic side. Mr. Gorman’s statement was justified by the vote, however, as the Colorado sentor’s motion to lay the tariff bill on the table was met by an unbroken Democratic front. Both Senator Hill of New York and Senator Irby of South Carolina, whose positions have been the subject of gossip from time to time, voted with their Democratic associates, as did the three Populists.

Danville, Ills.. May 24.—The demonstrations on Mission Field, so far as actual trouble is concerned, were a failure. Strikers who marched out were well armed with guns and clubs. Saloons

tilled almost completely today by Populists and visitors to their convention for the nomination of a state ticket, which process is to lie conducted differently from that usual to political gatherings. No candidates are in the field—the office is to seek the man—and when nominations are in order it will be a free-for-all race in which delegates are expected to express an unhampered preference. The convention is a creditable gathering—not so large perhaps as it would have been had the weather not made the picnic feature impracticable—and is composed

principally of toilers.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

Henry Preserved -tnitli's Appeal the Special Order With the Presbyterians. Saratoga, May 24.—Yesterday’s session of the Presbyterian general assembly was devoted to a miscellaneous class of reports and addresses, one of the most interesting of the latter being by Dr. Murkfield of Baltimore as a member of the southern presbytery. He was hopeful that the southern church would return to the general church. The sentiment was applauded. Dr. Wil on of Dayton made a report on church erection which showed a falling off of $5,000 in receipts. Professor Smith’s appeal from the Ohio synod is the special order

for this afternoon.

Hill to H<*p<‘Al the* Act.

Representative Enloe of Tennessee has inlroduced a bill to repeal the civil service act. The action of the house in refusing to appropriate money for salaries of commissioners by no means deprives Messrs. Proctor, Lyman and Roosevelt of their positions, even if followed by the senate. In the act creating the commission it is stipulated that there shall be three commissioners at certain fixed salaries, and this act still remains in force. It was the intention of the house to make it ineffective, but the mere failure to appropriate money does not accomplish that end. There will still be three civil service commissioners if both house and senate refuse to appropriate for them, and the commissioners could continue to perform their duties and appeal to the court of claims for remuneration. Representative Sayres of Texas. chairman of the appropriation committee, says that this course is open to the commissioners should congress fail

That of which Mr. Powderly complains

is as follows:

Mr. Powderly has lieen suspended from the Knights of I.abor for refusing to turn over to his successor, J. R. Sovereign, the | property of the order in his charge. This paraphernalia relates to the secret work of the organization, Ixioks, documents and ; other articles, all of which are specilied in j the correspondence which hits passed de- | manding that the property be turned over. I do not know what reasons were given by Mr. Powderly for not turning over the property to the order, but they were not

good reasons.

Mr. Powderly claims that he turned over to his successor all the books, documents and property of the Knights that he had in his possession, and that Mr. Sovereign acknowledge the receipt of the same. Martin was held in $1,000 bail. Mr. Powderly now threatens to 1 proceed against all the officers of the Knights of Labor who claim he refused to turn over the property of the order.

was done in order to keep the posse from shooting, but as bullets flew thick and fast the bankers tore loose and ran around the corner, with several shots from the robbers after them. George Buckingham, who was shooting at the robbers, was shot and killed. While he was down the robbers shot at him several times. City Marshal Muckley received a Winchester ball in the bowels. The ball glanced from silver dollars in his pocket, which may save his life. J. W. McQueen, a saloonkeeper thinking the shots were for fire, ran out in the alley and was shot in the body, perhaps mortally. Charles S. Leonard was walking through the courthouse yard and was shot in the leg, necessitating amputa-

The robbers who stood guard in the alley would yell at every one who came in sight and shoot at them instantly. When the robbers rode away and saw one of their comrades dead they remarked: “Poor Bennett is dead.” The body of the dead robber was soon identified as George Bennett, a reckless fellow who had lieen here some months ago and married a daughter of a respectable farmer living near this place, but left her and went to the Indian Terri-

of the commission, and it is for this reason that Mr. Enloe introduced his bill. Semite Will Kewtore Civil Service. Washington, May 24.—The senate will without doubt promptly restore the appropriation for the civil service commission, which the house knocked out. i The Democrats in the house knew this perfectly when they took the action they did. The purpose was to discipline the commissioners and teach them to be more regardful in the future of Democratic congressmen in appointments. The house will at the proper time concur in the restoration of the appropriation for the commission.

11IUDEKY CASK. Explanation of the Alleged Attempt Yn Hehalf of Huttz. Washington, May 24.—In the senate bribery inquiry yesterday C. W. Buttz introduced E. E. Holman, a claim attorney. to corroborate his claims in the case. Holman tells this story: “It was through pure accident that I chanced to know anything of the business and it came about through my happening to he I in the office of Major Harris one day when Mr. Bnttz came. Harris was a lobbyist and talk drifted to the tariff, j ‘I think 1 know,’ said Major Harris, f ‘where I could make $25,000 or $30,000 if I knew how the Populists would vote on the bill,’ and turning to Buttz remarked to him: ‘You are just the man to learn that fact, and I will give you $1,000 to find out for me.’ I heard this conversation and I suppose that is the reason why I was summoned. I certainly had no connection with any attempt at bribery or lobbying on the bill, and I cannot afford to have that imj pression concerning me go out." Major Buttz testimony was devoted I largely to an explanation of his absence from the city. After he came out of the I committeeroom Buttz said he had gone I to Loudon county, Va., to look for a witl ness whom he did not find and had been k detained there.

May 24. — The sheriff of Vermillion county last night telegraphed Governor Altgeld for troops to control striking miners, armed with clubs and revolvers, who apjieared at the Mission Field mines near Danville and forced the miners to quit.

DECORATION INCIDENT. Ofilrer* of the Confederate A**ociatlon IteMign on A (’count of Hreokiiiridge* Lexington, Ky., May 24.—Political, confederate and social circles are woefully excited over the report that the woman's auxiliaries of the Confederate Veterans’ association had a strong meeting and refused to decorate confederate graves because Breckinridge was a member of the association. The president of of the auxiliary says it will take no part in the Breckinridge case as a body and that there will be no refusal to decorate graves. Mrs. A. M. Harrison, secretary, and her sister-in-law, Miss Mary Harrison, vice president of the auxiliary, have resigned their offices. They are severe in condemnation of Breckinridge, and while they give no ojien reason for residing they say plainly it ought not be difficult to infer why they quit. Suicided While Dt-nuiged.

Deputy John Howard was shot at 15 times, but was not hurt. He emptied his pistol several times and wounded one of the robbers in the face. No less than 200 shots were fired. The robbers started out of town, going by the home of George Bennett. They met a farmer four miles north and took his hat and gave him the old one. They told him to tell the posse to come on, that they were going to keep on the big road. Due to a Love A flair* Meridian, Miss., May 24.—James H.
