Pr MOURS AND LEAVES OF ABSENCE. Ampertant Legislation in Regard te the De partment Clerks. ‘FRR HOUSE SATS THEY MUST WORK EIGUT HOURS RACH DAY AND IT LIMITS THE ANNUAL LEAVE | ‘TO FIFTREN DATS OTHER MARDSHIPS PRO- POSED, BUT NOT ACTED oN. Important action was taken by the House | esterday in regard to the office hours and Ieaves of absence of department employes here- after The office hours were increased to eight hours each day. The annual leave of absence | with pay was reduced from thirty days to fif- teen days It was provided that sick leave | ‘ith pay shall be granted for thirty days only, | except im extreme cases. Still more radical changes and restrictions were proposed by the reformers and only faited of passage by smail majorities. Mr. Outhwaite of Obio and Mr. Hopkins of Illinois made valiant fights for the department employes. The new legislation is carried by the legisls- five, executive and judicial appropriation bill. «The claase 0” the bill relating to office hours {and leaves of absence is as follows: THE CLAUSE OF THE FILL. Sec. 3. That hereafter it shail be the duty of the heads of the several executive departments, the interest of the public service, to require | f ali clerks and other employes, of whatever | or class, in their respective departments, | ot lesa than eight hours of labor each day, ex- t Sundays and days declared public holidays y lnw or executive order: Provided, that the | is of the departments may, by special order, ting the reason, further extend or limit the hours of service ‘of any clerk or employe in respectively; but in case of be without additional com- nsation: And provided further, That the Sec- retary of any department may grant thirty days’ annnal and thirty days’ sick leave, with any one year to each clerk or employe, ‘dick leave to be allowed in cases of personal iliness only, or where some member of the im- ediate family is aflicted with a contagiousdis- se and requires the care and attendance of wich employe, or where his or her presence » the department would jeopardize the health | f fellow cle And be it further provided, /That im exceptional and meritorious cases, here to limit such sick leave would work aliar hardship, it may be extended, in the dliseretion of the Secretary, with pay, not ex- ereding sixty days i ease or m any This section shall not be ed to mena that so long as a clerk or ¢ is borue upon the rolls of the depart- ews of the time herein provided for, ed, be or she shall be entitled to i tod of such excessive ab- tly amended, upon motion so a3 to limit the No HOLIDAYS FOR DEATHS.

Take, for in- Stance, those whose duty it is to compute—to desi with figures to make computations con- tinuously. Now to require clerks of that char- ucter to work seven or eight hours daily is Father severe: the strain is too heavy. Then ‘there are other clerks of whom a similar re- k may be made. Take a typewriter, for in- ptance. “If you require a typewriter to continue at work for eight hours a day you are inflicting upon him or hera punishment. As suggested « few moments ago, after a certain period of time-—after six hours per day neithér of these classes of clerks to whom my remarks refer are capable of performing properly the duties re- quired of them. In other words, they will per- | form as much labor for the government in six | ours as they would perform in cight.” MR. MILLIKEN FOR THE CLERKS. Mr. Milliken of Maine, during the debate, el “Now, Mr. Chairman, I was somewhat emazed to hear my good friend from Massa- Chusette (Mr. Morse) arguing in favor of this @xtension of the hours of labor. rivate business could be rum successfully as business of the government is run im the | @epartments here.

Asa fitting final to the program the Ger- 4 the amendment was ruled | ‘The Departmental Employes’ Side as Set Forth by an Offical. An official in one of the up-town departments made an argument toa Stan reporter today in opposition to the provision in the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill ex- tending the hours of lubor in the executive de- partments. “At present these employes,” he eaid, “are Fequired to be at their desks from 9 o'clock & m.to4 o'clock p.m.—seven houra It is Proposed to increase the hours to eight. “Just why this action has been taken by the seems to be able to say. No head of a depart- ment bas complained that the hours are too short or that the public business is neglected | y reason of the present rules. It is under- stood that a number of Representatives and Senators are op) to the proposed change for the reason that it is impracticable for the average man or woman to perform good work fors longer period than seven consecutive hours. It is simply impossible for womea em- ployed as typewriters to work without injury to their health for a longer time. The suggestion for an increase of hours appears to have ema- nated from the committee ou appropriations in the House and without consultation with the heads of departments. Considerable feeling is manifested among the clerks at the disposition shown by a few Congresemen to make capital for home consumption at their expense. ‘The clerks claim, and with some show of reason, we bitious Congressmen may exercise their ability with more profit to the nation and credit to themselves than in uncalled-for attacks upon the clerks. “In referring to the statements made that the clerks should be satisfied with the proposed i crease of hours the reason that they are granted thirty days’ leave of absence with pay in each year the pertinent inquiry is made whether Congressmen who are drawing twelve | months’ pay for less than six months’ work each year can consistently advocate the proposed action. “Another feature in the bill under considera- tion has been commented upon by employes of the departments, to wit: The proposed appoint- ment by the Speaker of the present Congress of next Congress to inquire into and report upon | the business of the departments, efficiency of the employes, whether any modification of ex- | isting laws is necessary, &c. The point is made that the present Congress expires on the 4th of March next, and that the Fifty-third Congress will have no existence until the first Monday in December next. Yet the commi sion suggested ix required to assemble and formulate its report in September, 1893.

In fact, salaries of sub ploves of Congress exceed those paid to heads of divisions in the departments who, make de- cisions and prepare letters for the signatures of the several Secretaries on important subjects affecting the proper conduct of the public business throughout the country.” DISTRICT WHEELMEN. ‘They Give an Enjoyable Musicale and Dance at Metzerott Hall.

Chevy made his 10 o'clock trip into the insane asylum he found the fire coming out of the cell occupied by A. Lafamitain, a woman, and gave the alarm. Wm. Driscoll, the keeper, with his family, lived in the building, and he at once broke the locks off the fifty-four cells and tried to get the inmates out. Then he got his wife and two children, neither of whom were dressed. ONLY FOUR INMATES ESCAPED. Of the forty-eight inmates only four escaped. They were Wm. Twombly, Rose Sanderson, Wm. Davey and Frank Donshon. The latter walled two miles in a blinding mowstorm witl only his shirt on to Wm. Horne's house, where he was taken care of.

ORIGIN OF THE FIRE A MYSTERY. The building was of wood, 185 by 36 feet, two stories high, with a big yard on each side. It was built twenty years ago and had fifty cells. One woman escaped to the yard, but was burned to death there. The building cost $15,000. ‘The main building, in which was over one hundred of the county poor, caught fire, but was saved by the heroic efforts of the inmates, who carried pails of water and extin- guished the flames, although many were burned in so doing. The Dover fire department was summoned, but owing to the distance, the blinding snow storm and the icy roads, it took ninety-five minutes for the department to get there; too late to be of service. The smoking Tuins show the charred bodiea still laying on their beds. How the building caught fire is a mystery. —— 0+ THE GUILTY PANAMA OFFICIALS. Charges of Fraud Agai Ferdinand de Lesseps und Son. ‘The charge of fraudulent proceedings against Ferdinand de Lesseps, Charles de Lesseps, Henry Cottu and Marius Fontane, directors of the Panama Canal Company, is held to be proved. On this point the judgment of the court referred to the company’s methods in is- suing loans, the mendacious official bulletins and the persistent pufting done by the papers at the instance of the directors. These practices, the judgment stated, when not directly origin- ated or indorsed by the directors had been connived at by them. Ferdinand de Lesseps, aided and abetted by his son Charles, M. Cotta and M. Fontane, had persistently concealed the operations of the canal company in order that the quotations of shares might not be affected unfavorably. ‘The directors had dealt with underwriting syndicates, which as far as their utility was concerned were fictitious and were known to be fictitious. In underwriting loans these syndicates had taken upon themselves no risks, and yet they had received enormous sums from the company, The expenses necessarily attendant upon the issue of loans had been grosly exaggerated by the directors, and this exaggeration also constituted a fraud- ulent act. The plea of the defense that, despite these fraudulent acts, the directors were not amen- able because the loan especially in question had not succeeded, the decision pronounced worthless in view of the evidence that the di- rectors had not scrupled to expose the eapital of the company to the risks involved in the freab issue and even reiterated their promises to complete the canal with the proceeds of the loan. By article 408 of the code concerning breach of trust it was not necessary that the money should have been misappropriated or squandered, or should have benefited the di- rectors in ‘order that they be found guilty. ‘Their fraudulent intent was the same, whet or not their purpose was carried out. ‘This intent was provec by the fact that the suis paid to Baron de Reinach, Hugo Oberndoerfer and others could be regarded as having been subscribed for the purposes to which they were put. A In dealing with Gustave Fiffel’s breach of trust the decision said that M. Eiffel had re- ceived 120,000,000 francs for the construction of ten locks and had promised to complete them by 1890. ‘The evidence had shown that he had not even purchased the specified mate- rials necessary in the construction of these locks; in fact he had bought in France ali told but 1,223,000 francs’ worth of materials, He had pretended, furthermore, to fullfil the obli- gations he had undertaken, while, in reality, he was simply misappropriating the funds, "In conclusion Judge Perivier read the sentence of imprisonment as given in Tux Sran yesterday. —ses 5 A NOVEL ACCIDENT. Gas Escaping From a Cable Condult Ignited by Frictional Heat. About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon a novel accident occurred on 7th street, above Chest- nut, Philadelphia, There was a sudden pufiing sound and a burst of flame through the trac- tion slot in the center of the street. The cable had broken a gas service pipe crossing the street, and then frictional heat had set it afire, and it looked like a young natural gas well ablaze. Some of the horses would pass over it, but others had to be taken out of the cars. ‘The flames rose about a foot above the street and extended six feet along the conduit, within which they roared. Once a cable car ‘stopped right over tho flames, being blocked by cara ahead, and it was in danger of catching fire every moment. A city fire engine was called to help traction out of its new difficulty, anda gang of men from the bureau of gas was set to work to mend the braak. Meanwhile the break in the service pipe is depriving people along the side of the Tireet of gas, ‘Chece’ was bad temper ‘all around. ——_+-e-___ Execution at Suffolk, Va. John B.

Prayer was offered on the scaffold for him, At 12:27 the drop fell, and at 12:40 life was pronounced ex- tinct by tending physician. He died al- most without a struggle. No one claiming the body it was buried by the authorities. ——__~+ Death of Mittens Willett. Miss Mittens Willett, the actress, died last evening at New York. She had been ill for some months. Miss Willett was born in Colum- bus, Ky., some twenty-eight years ago.

Verdi's “Falstaff” was performed at Milan, Italy. last evening before an audience and gathering of professors and critics which could only be matched by going back to Wagner's Bayreuth days of 1876. ‘The curtain rose upon # room in the Garter Inn at Windsor, and upon “Sir John Falstaff” GIL Victor Maurel) in the act of sealing bis amorous epistles to Mistresses “Page” and “Ford.” On one hand the revelation of “Fal- staff's” personality and the well-marked humor of the quarrel scene claimed attention, as did, on the other, Verdi’s bright and sparkling music itself, instinct with the spirit of mirth. The second part of the act with its lively music for the women made even a greater impression than the first. And when the curtain fell there were calis for the artists followed by one for the composer, who was cheered with frantic enthusiasm. and was raj tran given a ‘reception at, his hotel afterward and King Humbert and Queen Margherita sent him their best wishes and congratulations, — VASSALS IN CANADA, Eight Thousand Residents of the Magdalen Islands Practically Serfs. Eight thousand Canadians are appealing in vain to their government to be relieved from a condition of serfdom. These poople are resi- ents of the Magdalen Islands, s group forty miles long and thirteen wide, lying near the southern point of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Their representative, E. J. Flynn, declared in the Quebec legislature on Thursday last that he regretted that the government could not see its way to purchase the islands on account of the impoverished condition of the provincial finances. Yet until such purchase is effected it is impossiblo to release population of the islands from vasaalage. Isaac Tristan Coffin of the Chateau do la Mag- deleine, Boulogne-sur-Mer, France, is the ab- sentee landlord. The letters patent conveying the property to Admiral Sir Isaac Coffin, in 1789, made him and his heirs the feudal lords thereof, and the unfortunate settlers on the islands ure practically serfs. Joe ae EW STEAMERS, SIX The International Company Will More Than Fulfill Its Contract. A New York evening paper quotes James A. Wright, jr., vice president of the International Steamship Company, as saying that the Inter- national Company proposed to have built at least six steamships in America, all equal at least to the New York and Paris. It is intended tohave all the new ships capable of even greater speed thin the company’s English boats. Some of the new vessels are to be put on the Red Star line, which the International Company controls and whose steamships are to stop at Southampton, England, and Boulogne, France, on their way’ to the terminal point of Antwerp. Carious Fatality Affecting a Professorship in Union Seminary. A strange fatality seems to hang on the chair of systematic theology at the Union Theolog- ical Semin: a New York special. Pres- ident Hastings said concerning it yesterday: “I will admit that it is somewhat strange, but it is not a matter for superstition. It is smply a series of strange and sad coincidences. Three of the professors who took the chair have died shortly afterward, the last being Prof. John H. Worcester, jr., who died last week. We will not look for a successor for some time yet. We have had scarcely time to get our breath.” A year ago Prof. W. G. T. Shields occupied | the chair. He resigned from ill health and the chair was accepted by Prof. Louis F. Stern. Shortly afterward he was also taken ill and died. In due time the Rev. Dr. Henry Vandyke of Brooklyn was tendered the professorship. Dr. Vandyke was making preparations to enter upon bis duties when he was taken sick and In a month or two Prof. John Worcester was asked to take the chair. He accepted and came on from his Chicago pastorate to take up the work. He was in good health and entered upon his duties with great zest. About three wy ago Dr. Worcester was taken ill and a phy: was called, who attended him for a few days. ‘The physician himself was stricken down a week later. He gave up his practice and died a day or two later. Dr. Worcester's condition improved and he went to Lakewood. Here another doctor was cailed in, who fiually informed Mrs, Worcester that her husband's condition was hopeless. While apparently in the beat of health tho hysician suddenly dropped dead. Twelve ours later Dr. Worceeter breathed his last. ‘This completes the strange list of casualties 0 far, but the seminary people are wondering what will come next. Acstrange feature of the matter is that not one of the men died of a contagious or infec- tious disease. Had ths been the case there would not have been much room for wonder. a LOUIS J. JENNINGS DEAD. He Won Fame by His Successful Fight on he Tweed King. ‘The death is announced of Mr. Louis John Jennings (conservative), member of the house of commons for Stockport, England. Mr. Jennings, who was well known in the United States, was born in London in 1836, Between 1863 and 1863 he acted as special cor- respondent for the London Times in India and the United States. He subsequently became connected with the Now York Times, and, while acting as editor of that paper, was chiefly instrumental in exposing and overthrowing the ‘Tweed ring. With scarcely any encouragement or support he waged the battle against this cor- rupt organization, and finally his efforts re- sulted in the complete overthrow of the ring. In 1876 Mr. Jennings left New York and re- turned to England. Before he left he received a letter signed by Chester A. Arthur, who sub- sequently ‘became President of the United States, the chief justice of the Supreme Court, the governor of the state of New York and the leaders of the American bar, assuring him that the citizens of New York would not forget his services to the community In 1885 he stood for election in Stockport and was returned. He married in 1867 Madeline Louise, daughter of David M. Henriques of New York. ‘Mr. Jennings was the author of a number of works, including “Eighty Years of Republican Government in the United States,” “Field Affords every facility to those wi EDUCATIONAL.
