Southern Representatives who spoke to-day,
without exception, entered the plea of poverty as
one of the considerations in favor of the bill. Iuey
also demanded IL as an act OF jnslce for the older

THE CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION
SOME INFORMATION ABOUT JUDGE THOMAS WHOSE

IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-Since the nominations OF
Civil Service Commissioners were made some OF
the Republican supporters of the Pendleton bill in

A GROWING PROSPECT THAT THE SENATE BILL WILL

BE SENT TO A CONFERENCE COMMITTEE
IDY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEl
WAsHINGToN Feb. 24.-The prospects of the Tarih
bill continue to improve, and it now seems probable
that the matter will be sent to conference COM
nttee. The more carefully the Senate bill is studied
the more clearly does it appear to every man
who is not 80 anxious to destroy the system OF pro-
lection that he is willing to vote for any BILL with
out regard to its effects-that such course Is
imperative If there is to be any legislation at all
The Committee on Rules held meeting this after
noon. and subsequently Mr.. Reed reported to the
House the amendment to the rules described IN lhE
TRIBUNE to-day. Action upon the report was de-
ferred until Monday under the rules II the amehd-
ment shall be adopted majority may, by one ana
the same vote. suspend the rules, take
the Senate bill from the Speakers table,
declare disagreement in the Senate
amendments and SEND it to aconference committee.
If the motion fails that will end the matter ana
leave the bill where 1t now is.
While Messrs. Randall and Blackburn opposed
the new rule in committee to-day and voted against
IL. there was no intimation that the Demo-
Gratis would 6libuster against it IN
the House. IL is hardly to be expected that they
will do so; because, after the Senate bill snail nave
been sent to a conference committee, majority OF
the House, in case the committee snail
disagree can discharge the conference
Committee and bring the bill directly before the
House on a motion to concur in the Senate amend
ments. IL is expected that Mr.. Updegratf ana per.
hans several more Republicans, will vote against
