country, was carried by a narrow ma
jority utter rf heated debate.
A large portion of the session was
taken up discussing the civil service
as now applied throughout the t'nlted
States. It wns nrgued that a civil ser
vice ride only had a nominal exist
ence, and that it was the old spoils
svstcin in a slightly modilied form.
The delegates de.iareil that political
favor and pull had just as much to do
with the obtaining of otllee now as for
merly. The convention voted the civil
service unsatisfactory as It now exists.
It was voted to try and secure the
passage of laws which would introduce
a real merit system throughout the
l liited Stab s.

vide a bank for the deposits of the

by the first of January. 1!)7, or be liable
to explusion. Also that all local as

Pi flip. Nov. 16. The announcement
made last week that in the order of
today's proct .-dings in the Reichstag
the Centrists would offer an interpel
lailon demanding tin explanation on
the part tr the government of the
neutrality treaty between Russia and
C.erniany, the existence of which from
issl to iswi was disclosed by Prince
Hismarck iu tlie recent series of ar
ticles Inspired by the ex-chancellor
which appeared in the Hamburger
Nachiiehten, the prince's personal or
gan, caused the corridors of the Keicii
stag to be packed ut all early hour w ith
persons vainly trying to obtain admis
sion to the galleries, every available
space In which was tilled by visitors
lucky enough to sscure permits. The
debute, however, was a tame uft'air in
comparison with what wus expected by
the opponents of the government ard
fell far short of being sensational. As
a matter of fact after the speeches of
Count Von Hompesch. the replies of
Prince Hohenlohe and Huron Marsehall
Von Hlehersteln. and the remarks of
Count Von Mirbuch and Herr Von Kar
dnrff, the discussion llattened out com
pletely. Count Herbert Hismarck stated that
he had remained silent dining the de
bate because the declaration of the
chancellor. Prince Hohenlohe, had sup
plied him with no basis upon which to
discuss facts and he was nit willing
to deal with hypothesis. He would,
therefore, confine himself solely to de
nying that the interview upon the sub
Jimt by the Hamburger Nachiiehten
published in Vienna and supposed to
have been furnished by him, had em
eiiated from him or that he knew any
thing about It.
BOARDER ASSAULTED HER.
Young Man Arrested Tor n Serious
Crime Committed Last June.
Frank P.uralya, nged 2'.. was com
mitted to the county Jail by Alderman

Ridge.
Mrs. Leper nlh ges that the offense
wns committed one day in June lust
when her husband was away from
home. Ilurulya boarded with them at
the time. She told her husband about
It when lie came home In the evening
und when the husband repeated the
accusation to the boarder, the latter
drew a knife nnd keeping the enraged
husband from closing in on him man
aged thus to escupe from tlie house.
uwing to the notoriety which at
taches to such cases Mrs. Leper could
not be Induced to swear out a warrant
uguinst her assailant until September.
Kuiulya in the meantime had disap
peared. Yesterday Special itlicer John
Tlerney, who had the warrant, learned
that litiralya hail returned to the city
and succeeded after a hard chase in lo
cating and arresting him.
A Met man Millar heard only the
prosecutor's side of the ease and being
satisfied from the evidence that Hur
nlya was guilty, sent him up to stand
trial.
