Mclntyre, of Illinois, captain in the navy, find a large number of naval promotions. A great deal of time was spent on the nomination or Associate Justice Brewer. Senator Plumb, whose absence yesterday endangered Mr. Brewer's chances of con finnation, was present this afternoon to explain Judge Brewer's decisions in the Kansas prohibition cases and defend them. After a great deal of unimportant and desultory debate, the Senate, by a vote of 52 to 11, confirmed the nomination. Senators Moody and Pettigrew of South Dakota voted against the nomination on the ground that Judge Brewer recenty appointed a Kansas man clerk of the court in their State. The other negative votes were those of Senators Blair, Chandler, Allison, Wilson of Iowa, Reagan, Colquitt, Berry, Jones of Arkansas and Call. A dispatch from Omaha, Neb., says: Sir. Trontman, of Kansas, who is attending the interstate Prohibition convention now in session here, said regarding the opposition of the Prohibitionists to the confirmation of Jndge Brewer: 'It is not true that he is opposed by our people. It is true that there are some 'cranks' in Washingtl who are lighting him, but we are not. Onr Kansas delegation here wired Senator Ingalls today that they were in favor of Brewer, and signed the telegram with thirty names. Judge Brewer has never been an active Prohibitionist, but he voted for prohibition. Ho has always been a good judge." SCORING A CRITIC General Carnab.an Worsted In an Encounter -with the ClTll-Serrlce Commission. pecial to the IndlanaxKll JTomalx Washington, Deo. 18. Gen. James R. Carnihan, of Indianapolis, 'who has boqji hero a couple of days, had an interview in the Tost, this morning, in -which he denounces the operations of the Civil-servico Commission. Ono of the commissioners was seen this afternoon, and, in the course of a talk about Carnahan'a interview, said: "General Carnahan is reported to speak of the civil-service law, as at present administered, as a colossal fraud, and gives two or three alleged facts on which he bases bis statements. He has been gulled by some one, most unmercifully. lie would do well hereafter, I think, to be a little less credulous, and not snap np and repeat publicly o miscellaneous collection of ridiculous misstatements. He says, or implies, that in an examination for admission to the naval academy our commission, among other questions, causod to be asked the location of Bitter mountain. As a matter of fact, we never do nor have examined any one for admission to the naval academy. Again, he says a man examined as a copy ist was asked the names and areas of the live great lakes. We never have and never do examine a copyist in geography, and we never ask such a question as that about areas of any applicant whatever. Then, he states that a certain country school-master passed almost perfectly every branch of a mail-carrier's examination, and when appointed made a failure, because he knew nothing of the streets or local geography of the city. As a matter of fact, c third of the marks, or thereabouts, in a mail-carrier's examination aro given precisely on the subject of streets and local geography of the city, so that tho General's statement must be incorrect. If the General has been correctly reported. 1 would suggest that he learn not only the places for which we examine applicants, but also tho questions we ask them, before indulging in further criticism. A roan cannot talk intelligently on a subject when he is in ignorance of tho rudimentary facts of which he speaks." SUPERANNUATED CLERKS. Their Presence Canting Serious Embarrassment In Departments. Vaahington SpecUL A report was in circnlation to-night that Postmaster-general Wauamakcr" intended, after Jan. 1, to get rid of a large number of clerks who are, becauso of old age or feebleness, unable to do the work required of them. He was said to have been in consultation with Assistant Secretary Batckeller relative to this matter, and the Assistant Secretary is reported to have instructed the Sixth Auditor to furnish a list of tho clerks in bis ollice. with a record of their absence, with the view of dismissing those found inefficient or unable to attend to their duties. . But it was learned from tho Postmastergeneral to-nieht that the report was incorrect. He and tho other department heads are greatly troubled because of inellicient or superannuated employes. In tho Postolliro Department and in the Sixth Auditor's othce thero aro nearly fifty employes who are sixty-live years of ago or over. Many of these are Incapacitated, through tho infirmities of age, from discharging tho full duty demanded of tho average clerk in the same grades. Thero is onwof these emploj-es who has rendered no ervice whatever for about four years, and who has regularly drawn his salary during the whole period, and there are others who render but slight service becauso of continual illness. Through motives of humanity tbe Fost-inaster-gt'uerals have declined to order tho removal of these clerks, because they aro without other means of support, and have neither the opportunity nor the qualifications tc secure remunerative employment elsewhere. Mr. Wanamakcr says that the practice of retaining these superannuated clerks because no other provision is made for them lias grown till it causes serious embarrassment. He does not think that the Postotlico Department should be made a charitable institution, but he is notyet ready to do what his predecessors failed to do in removing these superannuated clerks.

Why It Is a Waste of Time to Seek Toiltlons as Weighers In the Railway Mail Service. Epeclal to tno Indianapolis Journal Washington, Dec. 18. It is useless for citizens of Indiana to apply to members of Congress or anybody else for 'positions as weighers in the railway mail service. There will be no more weighings of mails on trains in Indiana until the spring of 1892. It has been customary for many years to weigh the mails on the trains every spring for tho pcrposo'of enabling the Postollice Department to approximate tho amount of mail carried on each railway that contracts may be made. It is found that it will not be necessary to weigh the mails in Indiana under two years. A large number of gentlemen who desire positions in this eervico have made applications without knowing that there -will not be weighings this spring. In the Interest of the World's Fair. Washington, Dec. 18.

INDUSTRIAL INSTRUCTION

The Commissioner of Education's Views Concerning Manual Training Schools. Per Cent, of Graduates Who Afterward Followed Mechanical Pursuits Cost of Introducing and Maintaining a Proper Plant. ftoeclal to the In4iniKU Journal. Washington, Dec. 18. The forthcoming report of the Commissioner of Education will contain some interesting matter relative to manual and industrial training in the United States and European countries, with elaborate tables of statistics. Among other things the Commissioner says: 'One of the most important purposes desired by the partisans of industrial training, and by those of manual training also, is the inculcation of ideas about labor that will remove the contempt in which it is now said to be held. . If the public school pupil can bo familiarized with tool work before this unreasonable prejudice can be formed the idea that manual labor is degrading will not be an obstaclo to pursuing 6ome form of it; the pleasant nature of the manual training not producing the repugnance toward labor that is felt toward books and study by those who have pursued the usual literary course of the publio school. But here the two great parties to the propaganda part company. The industrialists, however, are not unanimous as to the philosophy of their object. Some, observing the beneiicial results of manual la bor in reformatory or protective institutions on those ambiguously called 'juvenile delinquents,' appear to view the whole schoolable body, or a largo part of it, as wearing the menacing attitude of the 'juvenile delinquents and the public school as a sort of reformatory or protective institution. Others, seeing bow unequally the wealth of the world is distributed, think it but right that the moneyed class, for several reasons, should make some compensation to the less fortunate.- Finally, a third section, and this appears to bo not only by far the largest, but also of native American growth, would have the schools used as apprentice shops. "In giving the characteristics of tho course of manual-training instruction at Paris, wo have refraiued from giving a feature that is remarkable to Americans, at least as a feature of the public-school system. Not only are manual-training shops added to the equipment of the schools, but a kitchen and dining-room have been annexed, in which meals are served for the children. Those who can, pay the small fee asked; those too poor are given, in a way that the recipients need not be known, the ticket that permits them to obtain the meal. If the parent is too poor to properly clothe the child, the director gives the child an order on the clothing contractor. It is interestinc to see at what little ex pense this advantageous institution says United States Consul scha'uiior. in nis report on industrial cdncation in France, can be introduced into a school and I give herein an illustration of one of the schools. This school has about 500 pupils. From Oer. 1 to Dee. 1 thev distributed 5.200 por tions, of which 4,110 were sold. The whole cost to the institution was S7f francs 85 centimes (about $74); tho receipts were 205 francs NO centimes, leaving a delicit of 1G2 francs 5 centimes (about &X). "In the Chicaco Manual Training-school nineteen of the forty-nine graduates of the first class, that of 186. are attending higher technological schools, principally. tne Massachusetts Institution of Technology. Siblev Colletro. Cornell University, and Purdue University at Lafavette, ImL. Of the fifty-live students who have withdrawn from the Baltimore school, all but six' aro following mechanical pursuits. At the PhiladelDhia school about 20 per cent, have cone to colleges. 10 per cent, havo returned to pursue special courses, and about TO per rent, have en crazed in some business In which mechanical skill and drawing are tho essential requirements. 'With these nurtures before us wo cannot resist the conclusion that the graduates of those schools are ant to follow a mechanical. occupation, and the question arises wberhprj this tendency is due to the technological, training received in these schools, j W,er have given, on page 870, the analysis of tho statistics of the Erie, Pa., High-school for, the twenty years past, in which the "principal sees a proof of the falsity of: the charge that the public schools aro educate lng their pupilato dislike working'Avithj their hands; and we will now give;, thb statistics as to the vocations followed byj the 000 graduates of the Philadelphia Uigh school from 1S43 to 1846, attempting toj classify them under two heads: ,lf 'With Handicraft.

The total nnmber of graduates from the several schools has been 5Si. of whom 275 graduated in June. 1888. We tiud that the number of pupils enrolled is, of males, 3,210; of females, 203." . , , , . . An interesting statistical table is given in the report concerning the finances and property value of the manual training schools of tho country. The total property values are as follows: Apparatus, $181,U57; real estate, $992,027; receipts from State or city, $67,299: from tuition, $37,300; interest, $121,410; other sources. 14,143. Expenditures for buildines and improvements, $21,700; for salaries, 109,785; tools and machine-. $14,314; materials used, $8,498. Says the report: The Toledo, Chicago, St. Louis and Cleveland schools have the most powerful motive power, as far as this is indicated by the capacity of the engine. At tho Baltimore schools there are three engines." Some interesting: figures are given concerning the cost of introducing and maintaining manual training, as follows: Cost of plant, 18,127; teachers' salaries, $22,37; materials, $0,179; new tools and repairs. $3,154; incidentals, $1,50. .Says the report: "One of the great objections to introducing manual training in the schools is the cost. This is perfectly valid as ai plied to the shop adjunct in which wood-working is given, but it will not hold atrainst construction work which has lately taken a definite shape.", The Confederate Monument Will Stay. Baltimore. Dec. 18. The Mnrray Confederate Association, of Baltimore, which erected a monument on the Gettysburg battle-tield last year, which action a Pittsburg (1. A. 11. post denounced, two or three months ago, has received a letter from John M. Keath. secretary . of the Gettysburg Battle-tield Association, assuring them that his association hrd undergone no change of opinion as to the propriety of having confederate monuments on the field, and that the Murray Association shaft would remain where it was. The Battle-tield Association, he says, meant what it said when it invited confederates to mark their positions at Gettysburg. High License for Virclnla. Richmond, Va.. Dec. 13.

MUST HATE BEEN CRAZY. A Wealthy Young Woman Insists Upon Kiss ing a Hotel Clerk. Bridgeport, Conn., Dec. 18. A fashionably-attired and handsome young woman arrived at tho Atlantic notel late Saturday night and registered as Miss M. L. Moore. She said that she had jnst returned from Kurope. She gave the name of her relatives here in town, saying that she did not wish to present herself to them so late Saturday night, and would stop at the hotel nntil Monday. As her relatives are prominent people, she was assigned to a room. A few of her trunks were sent up, the remainder with foreign labels were left in the hotel baggage - room. The hotel people knew that Miss Moore had been abroad for a year, but they did not know that she was insane. That fact developed itself at dinner, on Sunday, when Miss Moore deliberately walked from her plate at table over to the chair of the chief clerk, Olonzo Hall, and. throwing her arms around his neck, implanted a number of spasmodic kisses upon that gentleman's cheek. Mr. Hall is a handsome man, and married, and was as much surprised as were the hotel guests. Miss Moore did not wait for dessert, but went to her room, and from there to Trinity Chnrch. where Louis Booth, the pastor, was delivering an earnest appeal in behalf of charity. To the surprise of the congregation. Miss Moore arose from her seat, and. advancing to the chair, she threw off a handsome sealskin sack, and began disrobing herself, saying to the pastor: "You can have all my clothes for the poor, also all my money." She throw her purse at hiin, and, as Miss Moore is known to be wealthy, it very likely contained plenty of money. Tho pastor ceased preaching, and several friends hurried Miss Moore out of the church. She was taken back to the hotel, and her relatives were notilied of her strange conduct. It then became known from her relatives that Miss Moore had become violently insane last spring while crossing the Atlantic. -The passengers on the steamer were afraid of her, and upon arriving at Paris the party with whom she was traveling had her placed in a retreat for the insane. Money was sent to Paris to defray the expense of all this, and her relatives snnnosed she was Jlstill there under treatment. Yesterday Kiuorumg arrangements were maue to iHKe her to the insane retreat at Hartford. Miss Moore declared she would not go or move unless she could kiss Mr. Hall Jbod-bye. He was urged to grant her the boon asked, and gallantly complied. ' Ollicer George Arnold then escorted her to the depot. Just before the 10:o0 train arrived she declared that one more kiss must be forthcoming from Mr. Hall or else she would not go. A messenger-boy was dispatched across the street, and again Mr. Hall hurried over to f ratify his oscillatory admirer's request, n the presence of a large crowd of passengers the farewell kiss was given, and Miss Mooro started without further evidence of a disordered mind. GIBBONS'S SIXTH BATTLE. An Unwhipped Prize-Fighter Knocks Out Mike Cashing, Who Was Too Confident of Victory, New York, Dec. 18. -The xnuch-talked-of kid-glove fight to a finish, between Mike Cushing and Austin Gibbons, took place early this morning, near Stamford, Conn. Fully COO persons witnessed the contest, among the number being John L. Sullivan. Gibbons was in the pink of condition, but Cushing was far from it. Cushing imagined that he was going to havo a walk-over, and was so confident of it that he drank a great deal of wine up to within an hour or so of the fight. It proved a costly experiment, as Cushing got pounded all over the ring, and was almost at the mercy of Gibbons from start to finish. As soon as Cushing discov ered his mistako ho commenced fouling his man, and tried to lose the fight through a foul; but Dominick McCaffery, who was referee, would not alio w any of the fouls, lie was determined to 6ee the men lichtto a hmsh. and even when Cushing nsed his head as a battering ram and deliberately butted Gibbons in the face, four or tive times he simply separated them and told Cushing to be a man and fight fair. In the hrst four rounds Gibbons had the best of it, but during the next four Cushing rallied and did most of the leading, bnt Gibbons avoided punishment. The next nine rounds were pretty evenly fought, both men realizing that they had no easy task to perform. Cushing's left eye was badly cut and bled freely. When Gibbons played on his injured organ in the eighteenth round Cushing lost his head and while they were clinched, Cushing butted Gibbons in the face a dozen or more times. Cushing got in some telling right-handed upper-cuts in the nineteenth and twentieth rounds. Tho twenty-second round was the most exciting of the tight. Cushing saw that ho was beaten, and preferring to lose the battle on a foul to being knocked out, so he fouled Gibbons eight or nine times, but McCaffrey would not allow it. Gibbons forced Cushing to the ropes in the lattera corner and held him there with ono hand. while he leaned over tho ropes and smashed liilly Murray and Cal McCarthy with the other. Gibbous's brother Jim came to the rescue, and thero was some lively punching down on tne outsiae tor a lew seconds. Cushing was too far gone to take advantage ot his opponent. Gibbons did all the fighting in the twentythird round, punching Cushing whenever and wherever he chose, and drivms him all over the ring. He took particular delight in landing on Mike's damaged eye, and had him covered with blood. I he twentyfourth and last round was of short dura tion. Gibbons forced the fighting. He knocked Cushing down twice, but each time Mike recovered before the ten seconds were up, 1 he third time he knocked him f 1 X A: I . uown, nowever, anu nnisneo. tne ngut, as he put a swinging right-hander in the pit This was Gibbous's ninth battle, and he has yet to meet his first defeat. Cushing has had quite a number of tights. Among his most Prominent was his thirty-two-round battle with Jack Hopper, which he lost through breaking his wrist in tho thirty-first round. He defeated Dan OTIare twico, Jim Liddy twice, and his last light previous to meeting Gibbons was with Hartlett, the Lnglish pugilist, whom he defeated. m WILL REMAIN AT RIVERSIDE PARK.
