CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.

SECRETLY DESPISE IT.
Monoy for tlie Support of tho Cotnmisftf m—

Favorably Reported—Secret
Service Changes, Ktc.
Washington, April 24.-[Special]—The
house having gotten into a somewhat pug-
nacious mood yesterday over southern out-
rages and Kansas iniquity continued in
the same humor to-day over the legislative
appropriation bill. The matter over which
tho wrangle occurred was the appropriation
for civil service. The name of that service
is calculated at any time to precipitate a
heated debate, and wlion tho subject came
up of maintaining that which nine in ton
members consider a fraud, the feud became
fast and furious. The consideration was in
committee of tho whole. Butterworth
who ha? charge of tho legislative bill,
characterized tha opposition as cheap
hypocrisy, intimating |that congressmen
would speak against tho civil service,
and yet when the pinch came would
vote to maintain the commission. Green-
lialgo of Massachusetts pleaded for tho ap-
propriation and begged the committee not
to stab tho commission In the back by with-
drawing Us support. Ue said it was much
more manly to repeal the law which created
tho commission than try to starve it to
death. Henry Cabot Lodgo also pleaded
for sustenance to tho commission. But the
tough democrats and republicans ham-
mered it till they were tired. Both parties
in their platforms announced unequivo-
cally in favor of civil service, but tho ma-
jority of representatives have no hesitancy
In declaring it to be a fraud and announc-
ing that it should not be allowed to exist.
It is probable the committee will report the
bill with the appropriation for civil seiyice
left out, but the house will put in the ap-
propriation, and if it doos not the senate
will do so.
the silver bill.
There is considerable discussion o"er the
agreement arrived at in tho republican cau-
cus in rogard to the silver bill. There is a
great diversity of opinion. Some of the
democrats ohjeot to It because the secretary
of the treasury is not directly charged to
coin into dollars the silvtr bullion wolch
he is instructed to purchase, and they do
not like the omission to make the silver
certificates legal tender currency. Others
dbject because they say such a bill reduces
silver to tho aamo character of commodity
as cotton or corn, and that the government
has as much right to issue a currency with
these articles as a basis as on silver. But
the general opinion is that it will pass.
the marshall case. k
The argument in the case of Marshall
against tho Texas and Pacific railway came
up in the supremo court to-day. General
Garland and Mr. Phillips represented Mar-
shall, and Judge Billon represented the
railroad, or as Mr. James Turner of Mar-
shall says represented Jay Gould and the
city of Dallas.
opposition to kilgoke.
It is reported here that there is an oppo-
sition to Congressman Kilgore in his dis
trict on account of tho fact that he
opposed Chicago for tho world's fair and of
his opposition to the Galveston deep water
appropriation. It is but just to him to say
that he opposed the world's fair bill
throughout and did not vote for its location
anywhere. He spoke against it. As far as
the Galveston appropriation is concerned he

interest here, where he is well known, this
being the place of residence of a dozen of
his relatives, including his mother, brother
and sister, all of unblemished character and
the 4ttghest respectability. Eugene, how-
ever, was discharged about u.ie middle of
last October from the Arkansas peniten-
tiary, where he has served his second term.
A month later he was before Commission-

In the lower part of the city the heavy rain-

News.
Chicago, III., April 34.—Reports from
various parts of the city show that ao
building work of any importance is beiug
dono. It is tl.e opinion of capitalists as
well as labor loaders tbat May 1 will find
Chicago in the midst of one of vho greatest
strikes ever experienced. The demand for
eight hours will be almost univorsal. while
the employers in the different trades are all
seemingly determined not to grant the do*
maud.
Tho carpenters strike seems as far from
termination as on the day the men went
out. Gas fitters and harness makers go
out Monday. Brick makers are now cut.
with no assurunce of a speedy termination
of their strike, and these, with 15.000 stock
yard employes, who are determined to get
eight hours or quit, makes a total of about
27,000 mou who will, from present indica-
tions, be striking on May 1.
Should such a general movement be made
innumerable brauches of labor and indus-
tries of loss proportions will follow in the
wake of the groat outbreak and business in
Chicago will be all but paralyzed, while
fully 50,000 men will bo Idle.
Considerable elation was felt at the
carpenters' headquarters this morning
over the signal defeat of an attempt made
by one of the contractors to import work-
men. Contractor George Fuller brought
soven men from Milwaukee last night But
upon reaching this city were met by a com-
mittee of tho strikers and straightway
joined the union. This morning they ciaiin
ti nt Mr. Fuller has some of their tools in
bis possession and announced their Inten-
tion to demand that they be returned to
them at once.
gruenhut's estimates.
Chicago, III., April 24.—Joseph Gruenhut,
who has long held a prominent place among
the socallatic labor agitators of this city,
and who is now a tenement house inspector
and statistician of the health department,
has compilod a tnblo of figures of tho num-
ber of laboring people in this city who will
either strike for eight hours on Mny I or bo
made idle by the strikes in the collateral
industries on which they depend. Accord-
ing to his table tho number of wage work-
ers, male and female, who will not bo at
work at the time reaches the surprising ag-
gregate of about 223,000. This calculation,
too, covers only the city as it was previous
to last year's annexation of the Town of
Lake, Hyde Park, Lake View. Cicero and
Jefferson. The Importance of tbi^ state-
ment will be apparent when it is stated tho
Town of Lake alone contains 35,000 people
directly affected by tho striko now contem-
plated.
The report shows the number of employes,
malo and female, who are affected by tho
eight-hour movement to bo as follows:
Fuel and light, 3620; drugs, 3301: transpor-
tation, 43,407; printing and publishing,
14,749; financial, renting, etc., 7211; leather
and leather goods, C057; building trades,
37,727; wooden materiols, goods, etc., 20,91tj;
food and drink. 26,841; textiles, 24,128; met-
als, minerals andjchomicals, 39,875.
Of this great aggregate 199,144 are males
and 23,650 females. The number of firms
involved is 11,527.
to restrain the fever.
Efforts of tho local labor leaders, it is
stated this evening, will bo devoted noxt
week to an endeavor to restrain the strike
fever which sooms to have seized the work-
ing men of the city. Chicago was chosen
as the battle-ground on which the first gen-
eral engagement was to be fought and the
carpenters were placed iu tho advance line.
It was intended that all othor trades
should remain at work until the carpenters
should have won. Trade after trade has
engaged and declared that it too mii3t
have an eight-hour day. According to
current reports, a monster demon-
stration, which has been arranged
for May 1 as an expression of sentiment
only, may, it is now feared, turn into tha
beginning of a strike which the leaders will
bo powerless to direct, much less control.
Certainly many thousands of strikers will
be added to tho carpenters. Stock yards
and packing-house employes, stair builders,
mill carpenters, gas fitters, Iron moldera
and harness makers have already an-
nounced their intention of striking. Be-
sides tlieso tailors, shoemakers, plasterers,
lathers, cornice makers, metal workers and
many other linos o" labor seem determined
to join tho ranks.
the stair builders.
The Stair Builders' union hold a meeting
last night at which it was decided to strike
for eight hours as a day's work on May 1.
The union has about 300 members.
MINERS IN CONFERENCE.
a new scale.
St. Louis, Mo., April 24.—A convention
of delegates representing the coal miners of
southern Illinois is in session in East St.
Louis, under the auspices of tho United
Miuo Workers' association of America. A
new scale of prices for day workers, heing
an advance o" 25 per cent over the present
wages, was adopted, and a scale for piaco
workers of like character will be agreed to.
Arrangement, will also be made for tho es-
tablishment,™ elgbtfcour day system. There
is no talk of a strike, the delegates being of
the opinion that the operators will grant
their demands without hesitation.
Resolutions wero adopted this afternoon
to appoint delegates to the convention to bo
held iu Chieugo April 28, to request the
national executive board to send good or-
ganizers into this district, and to invite the
coal mine operators of Illinois to meet the
miners iu joint session at the Chicago con-
vention. The wage scale committee made a
report, which was adopted, that the minora
of the southern Illinois district will stand
by the scalo made by tho Columbus conven-
tion, the wages of hand miners at all mines
to be raised to 56J-&' cents per ton. that wages
of day workers "ba advanced 25 cents per
hour, and that wages of ail mine workers,
not regular miners, receive a proportionate
advance. Resolutions were adopted advo-
cating tho sight hour system, but tbey do
not make an arbitrary demand on tho oper-
ators for it.
TRAINMEN DETERMINED.
