News by Telegraph FROM ALL QUARTERS. TALKING AGAINST TIME. A Day of Discussion in
 Congress. THE MERITS OF CIVIL SERVICE, A Scheme For Securing a

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

The Work of Congress- A Disposition
 to Talk-Very Little Else Done-IIap-
 pentngs at the Capital.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-In the Senate yes. terday the debating disposition seemed to possess the members and the different points about the civil service bill were ventilated number of amendments were offered and voted on, but a vote on the decision of the bill itself was not reached. An adjournment was taken until Wednesday, when, if ses- sion is held, the bill will again come up. In the House there was no quorum, but the members present were disposed to make pleasantly over the disposition to do busi- ness, and after number of motions to ad- journ the members finally agreed to meet again next Wednesday.
 Sixth Auditor Ella of the Postofice depart ment has decided an important case involv- ing the pay in certain contingencies of sub- contractors. On September 27th Mir. A. E. Boone was declared failing contractor on routes Nos. 3,265 and 3,266. Mir. Chase Andrews was & sub contractor under Boone on route 30,O17 in Louisiana, but did not file his sub contract until after Mir. Boone was declared failing contractor. He asked that he be paid for work on this route for the quarter ending September 30. This Auditor Fla declined to do on the ground that no pay ment shall be made for service on any routes under contract with such person until penalties shall have been removed. Under this decision no payments have been made to Mir. Boone, which says the auditor could be applied to the sub contractor, who did not file his contract in time to avail himself of the law for his protection. Mir. Andrews hes taken an appeal to First Comptroller Law renee of the Treasury department As this is a new question much interest centers in the decision, which will affect many cases now pending.
 The present congressional programme pro- vides for meeting of the Senate, House and the Committee on Ways and Means next Wednesday, but there is widespread feeling of doubt as to whether there will be a quor- of any of the three obtainable. No one expects 8 quorum in the House. If the Sen- ate gets enough members together to do bus mess they will no doubt finish the civil ser vice bill in some way, take another recess until Friday and then perhaps another till the following. Chairman Kelley, of the Ways and Means committee, has a personal inten- tion to have the tariff bill ready for the House January Sd, but he fears there will not be enough members here to finish it during the holidays.
 Mir. Pettibone, of the Houge Committee on Elections will, while at his home in Tenne- see during the holidays, prepare a report favoring the seating of NIT. Cain, the con testing delegate from Utah. MT. Pettibone has drawn a report favoring the contestant in the Lee Richardson case from South Caro- lima, and Mir. Atherton of the committee has prepared a counter report.

He Missed His Aim.

LYNN, Dec. 24.-Mr. William P. Hamilton, a tea merchant, who rooms with Martin M. Supplee, has been a little insane at times and has made number of attempts to destroy his life by poison. Supplee frustrated it each time and Hamilton became furious at this manner of living and moved away. This morning Hamilton called on Supplee at his room and Supplee asked him if he was not going to room with him again. Hamilton said he was not and Supplee, who was lying on the bed, drew pistol from under his pillow and attempted to discharge it at Hamilton. The revolver missed fire and Hamilton wrested it away from Supplee. He then went to the police station and gave an account of the af- fair and Supplee was arrested.

 Rev. Collyer Against the Penal Code.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-Rev. Robert Collyer this evening at the Church of the Messiah preached a sermon entitled IA defence of Sabbath breaking,' in which he denounced the new penal code as being 8 law for the injury of the poor and the advantage of the rich. There was, he said, no authority for it in the Scriptures, and he proposes to combat 1t with all his force.

The SUPREME court Of Kansas
has declared unconstitutional the
prohibitory law of that state, CT at
least the vital parts Of it. The
court says Il man may not be pun
ished fol- getting drunk, and that
having liquor in his possession he
may drink it, barn it or give it
away, as pleases him. Thus another
idol of the teetotalers is dashed to
the ground. As matter of fact the
prohibitory law in Kansas never has
prohibited, any more than a similar
law has prohibited anywhere else.
There will never be prohibition IN
til the people are educated to q
higher standard Of morals and tenn
perance than they have attained in
any age Of the world; and when
they reach that standard they will
need no laws on the subject. In
other words, q man who wants to
drink cannot be preventedby laws
and a man who As temperate re-
qu1res no legislation to keep him so.

The RECENT disaster on the Hud-
son River Railroad, New York, is
likely TO have the effect Of providing
better means for the rescue of pas
sengers in railroad cars in cases of
accidents. Already the Massachu-
sets legislature is acting in the
matter. the railroad committee
having reported a bill requiring
railroad companies to equip each
car, including mail and baggage, of
every passenger train with two
axes. sledge hammers. crow bars,
hand saws, aud pals. The bill also
provides that: Cali appliances shall
be maintained in good condition for
use in case'of accident, and shall be
kept one upon the inside and one
upon theSoutside..of each ear in some
convenient place and manner APP
proved by the railroad commissions
ers. Whoever unlawfully uses, re-
moves or hampers with any tools or
appliances carried on the cars as re-
quired by section Ill of this chap
ter, shall be punished by fine not
exceeding $3.50. Every drawing
room or :leeper, passenger, bag
gage, mail ard express car used
on any railroad in this common
wealth in which any ing
apparatus may be placed shall be
provided with such safeguards for
protection against fire as may be
approved by the board of railroad
commissioners. The railroad COM
missioners shall have the power
to require railroad corporations to
equip their cars with such appli-
ances as in their judgment shall be
deemed necessary for the further
protection Of life in all passenger
trains in this state" This law is
good, SO far as 1t goes, bat it does
not go far enough. 1t should also
provide flor the prompt hanging of
my engineer, conductor, brakes
nan, dispatcher, or other person or |
who, through negligence,
ignorance or wilfuIness causes the
oss Of life. Four tifths of the rail-
cad accidents are the result of
arelessness or cussedness, and when
cath occurs from either of them.
he guilty person should be treated
n al respects as q Wilful murderer.
