Washington, June 12.—The house went into a committee of the whole, Blount in the char, on the legislative appropriation hill. The civil service clause having been r. ,ul, the chair stated that the pending nutation was the point of order raised by Morrison, of Illinois, against the provision looking to a change of the rules of the commission. Holman, of Indiana, briefly antagonized the point, holding that the provision was merely a limitation on the expenditure of public money. Morrison, in support of his point, said that under the law the duty of adopting regulations devolved on the commission oitl the president. The purpose of the oroposed legislation was to impose certain piidition8 which the law did not impose lated to coalers.

Along debate followed upon the point i, 'order, but as the decision of the chair v.-.-i* a foregone conclusion, but little inter est was taken in the discussion. The chair man then delivered a careful decision, in which he reviewed the provisions of the ,-Ivil service law and the soopeofthe rule under which the point of order was raised, md finally sustaining the point, ruled the provision out of the bill. Gibson, of Maryland, moved to strike out the appropriation for the commission. I ost—IS to 75.

After the routine morning business in tin senate, Whitthorneaddressed the body in favor of Frye’s bill to promote the politi cal progress and commercial prosperity of American nations. On the conclusion of Whittborne's speech, the Northern Pacific bill was taken u;a but informally laid aside, tor the pur pose of considering the army appropria tion bill. The latter bill was accordingly taken up and its consideration proceeded with. The bill was finally passed as reported Irom the senate committee. The bill was passed defining the service c f ,i stevedore to be maritime service, ami i-(ablishing a lien in favor of such service. The 1 fill was passed authorizing vessels i neaped in towing to carry as many pas sengers as the supervising inspector may think necessary.

The members who take this view affirm that the president should accept Mr. Manning’s resignation and ap point another secretary. SHOOKS OF EARTHQUAKE. V ihrcnti-tiH Molt llimii In All the Kcrtorls.

J., June 12. -At five , minutes after 12o’clock this morning there was felt three severe earthquake shocks, Ilie second following the first closely, and the third coming a little later. The shocks Were accompanied by a rumbling 1 sound, which appeared to come from the south east Houses were shaken and windows rattled. The people w ho were awakened by the shocks were of different minds as to their cause. Some said they were due to an earthquake, while others attributed them to explosions. If due to the latter cause the explosion must have occurred on vessels at sea, as no land lies to the south east. The two light-ships arc in their Proper positions, and nothing has hap- | pened to them. A man-of-war is coming ■ in from the southeast, but it is hardly i probable that she would lire guns at mid- might, or even if she had that the sound would he heard or the concussion be felt here. The shocks were also felt at High lands. A.sbury Park. X. J.. June 12.--A severe hock of earthquake occurred here at mid night. It last cm two minutes.

Lord John Manners. Right Honora- : ble William Henry Marriot and LortTHaiiw- bury addressed the assembly. A vote of confidence in Lord Salisbury was passed, to which he responded. He said: “We are ; now called upon to fight for the integrity of the empire The issue is not merely to | erect a legislature in Dublin, hut something much stronger. It is the handing oyer of the executive of Ireland to those who, in sentiment, are favorable to a separation of that country from England.” Continuing, he said that the present government sought'to effect the most tre- • meiulous change in the constitution of the 1 empire that it was in the power of any one to make. The government sought to transfer supremo power to those who would prevent action on the Dinary law and substitute the Lynmh law therefor. If the executive of Ireland was handed over to the Dublin parliament the military gov ernment would likewise soon be under its I control. The executive would be able to | raise troops as it did a Hundred years ago, and those troops would become the | masters of Irlanch ii'u difficulty should arise j between England and foreign powers the troops thus raised might side with the en- j emy.

THE DEPOSITION OF THE KINO. Munich, June 12 King Ludwig’s deposition throws a gloom over the Bava rian metropolis. Business is partly sus pended. Crowds are Mantling on the cor ner.- reading and discussing Prince Luit li poid's proclamation announcing the deposition of his own regency. When Lud wig heard the ministerial deputation was approaching his nestle with a letter for him to sign consenting to the regency, he ordered the fire guards to load the guns and prevent the deputation from enter ing. He tnen locked himself in an inner room. The mountain peasantry living in tin* vicinity of the eristic became greatly excited when they heard what was going on. They congregated about the castle .and threatened tlie lives of the depu tation. Count Holstein, who lead the deputation, and who is a tall, powerful man, attempted to force an entrance into the castle. It was for this he was seized and imprisoned in the building by order of the king. When oilier members of the deputation saw the treatment accorded Holstein they all ran away. After awhile they returned with a strong military escort. They then suc ceeded in conveying to* tlie castle guards 1 and excited peasantry an intelligible state- ; merit of the deputation’s simple and harm- j less mission!). When the guards and j peasantry understood this they gave way and the deputation was permitted to enter ! the castle, out could not succeed in Yeac.li- | ing the kina. They left Prince Luithpolci’s j letter, replaced tne king’s servants by j others, placed a strong military cordon | around the castle, and left two pliy- : sieians to guard the king’s room, and then went away. Subsequently the physicians succeeded in obtaining ac cess to the king. They induced him to permit himself to be removed to Berg Gas- tie on Luke Stanberg. The state council , have informed the king’s mother of her son’s deposition. She sit once made ar rangements to retire to a convent. Her father and brother died nuui and the same fate impends over her son. The Catholic clergy evidently appreciate the gain for them of Ludwig’s deposition. They will 1 undoubtedly exert, a greater influence over the house of Luithpold’s than they ever could evert , over King Ludwig’s. The pope sent congratulations to Prince Luithpold on his assumption of the regency, and other pupul nuncio at the Muni h court, to establish the most cordial relations between the country and the Vatican. At Berlin, tin deposition of King Ludwig is regarded with supreme indifference. A full story of Ludwig’s recent eccen tricities, those which passed the path nee of the state, would be gem rally regarded as incredible. He had a mania for avoid ing da.\ light, and turning day into night. He often summoned great musicians to the palace ut late hours, by post horses, to gr.Vify the royal wish to hear a single .ii'\ If** frequently had statesmen aion-ii d in tne small hours and hastened to him to assist him play a billiard game. 11< wo.i '. dr." « . • nig* ', in a chariot or oil lior.s»--i iick With living speed, accompanied l»v mount-.-i! lor 'h-hearers far up in the mountains in imitation nI Burghers’ “I.eo- nore” ami Goethe’s “Ere Koenig.” '•lire. while engaged in one of these wild night mountain chases he fell, with his horse, down a deep chasm.

The scenes attending the funerals of the recent riots were very affecting. Wo men wailed and men sobfied. The crowds along the funeral routes were the largest seen in many years, the police and mili tary standing pretty close lile ail the way. with loaded rifles.

As illustrating this indus trial development, the following .summary of new enterprises reported in our con struction department for the last two weeks only w ill prove of general interest : Jii Ahdiaiiui.

The census of the (leniuin empire, taken hist Deeemlu r the official returns of w hich have just heeu published establish- * s the fact tluit tin prepi.nderance of the f* male ov**r th» male sex is increasing in Prussia. While the male population num bered 13.S03,6sS, the female population was 11,120,1 15, an « xeess of 526,1.57 females oil ji total of 2S,313,H33 persons. Since the cen sus ol 1SH0 the excess *if females has in creased 77,07S. and since 1867 the increase has been n.* less tlian 207 000 or 128.46 per cent, 'fhe fact is remarkable, and natur ally it is attracting much attention in Ger many. P is recognized t! at this growing preponderance of the female sex can only partially oe attributed loci nigral ion, though it is well known that far more men than women leave Prussia for other countries. Gut of every one iiundn d persons who wi i<• enumerated in the census of Prussia in D67 iJi.. r »2 were males and 50.IS females, but now the proportion is 4.1.07 and 50.93 per rent, respectively, the excess of fe- mal"S having increstsed from 0.96 to 1.8H per cent, in eighteen years. Of all the provinces of Prussia onl> Rhineland and Schleswig-Holstein sh.ovv ji small prepon derance of the nude sex, while in east Prussia, Posen and Berlin tlie greatest preponderance of females is to be found.
