WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-When the
sundry civil service bill was under
consideration to-day, Judge Houk,
of Tennessee, offered an amendment
to the effect that no pensioner should
be deprived of his pension now
granted by law and being drawn by
him, by the report of any agent Or
other person, without first giving the
pensioner notice of time and place of
taking testimony on which said reS
port should be based, and that no
effect should be given to any report
made on evidence taken for the pur-
pose of depriving such pensioner of
his pension unless such pensioner
should have full oppol 5unity to an
swer the charges. Judge Houk
made an eloquent appeal in behalf of
the pensioners, worthy of an old sol
der. The amendment was ruled out
on point of order.
