WaSHiiaTOS, Jan. 15 —The canva-- of Bepnblican members of tbe house i>! representatives on tbe question of ■hanging the civil service law, which has been conducted by ths Republican steering committee is about completed, lot the XU Bepnblican members uf the house, tbe canvass is said to show that I majority, varying from lb to 40. is favorable to a change in tbe law, ac cording to the degree of change proposed. ■IThis last factor leads to some differ- [mm of opinion as to the result of the canvass. Bepresentative Pearson of [< Berth Carolina, a member of the com- a mittee, places tbe number of llepob i- }• cans who can be depended upon at 115. It Hr. Evans of Kentucky, another mem- jf her of tbe committee, placet the uu:u-| g her at 186. E Those who have made the canvass ,aj R that in a number of cases entire state ■ delegations are shown by the canvass ro Yfavor a change in the law, notably Norm I Carolina, Tennessee. Kentucky, West Virginia and New Hampshire. Tue Minneaota count shows all but one fur a change; Uiobigau all but two; in Penn sylvania, 12 oat of 21 Republican mem- are counted in the canvass for a change in the law. Beyond oompleting the canvass, the 1 opposition to the civil service law is Ei taking no active steps at present, tbe w pOrpoee being to wail until tbe regular civil service committee of the house takes action on the bill before it pro- poses a modification of the law. SENSATION IN A SCHOOL. Itofiusr May Its PnsMiM For Whip ping Oaa at flie I’lslls Columbia. & C., Jan. 15. —A sensa tion was censed in the city graded schools hare by legal proceedings being threatened against Professor B. L. Junes, principal of tbe city schools, for whip ping Alfred Martin, tbe yonng eon of |W. T. Martin, one of the best known rVosinesa men of Colombia. Yonng Martin persisted in whispering in his class Professor Jons* called him up and gave him m severe flogging. On reaching home Mr. Martin examined his son and found stripes ou his back as large as a person’s finger. He went be fore a magistrate for tbe purpose of taking oat a warrant for Professor Jones on the 9harge of ssssolt and battery. Toe school trustees got him to desist on the promise that the matter would be investigated. I It is said the teacher completely wore bis 'Tod" out upon the disobedient child, and the condition in which he was found goes a long way unts Veri fying this statement. The affair has caused a great deal of xcitement in town among the acnool atrons and Professor Jones will hear rom them, it is thought, in a very uu- BUM* fashion. i*OB DEFIED THE MAYOR. times.
