Ross angry and he fought with savage
blows during the rest OF the contest. In

WASHINGTON LErTER
from our Regular Correspondent

From our Regular correspondent
WASHINGTON, June Il, lSs6.-During
the debate last week on the legislative,
executive, and judicial appropriation bill,
there were some very strong expressions
of opinion both for and against the civil
service law. 1t is evident that the Demo-
Gratis are anxious to do away with it, as
its faithful observance will etfectually de-
bar them from Office. Still, it is conceded
by all that the strongest hold President
Cleveland has upon the country comes
from his apparent observance of the pro-
visions of the law, aud if the Democrats
succeed in repeating it they will seal the
doom of their party.
This promises to be an eventfui week
in Congress Each branch OF the nation
al legislature will be called upon to de.
eide momentous questionable Senate
whether 1t really means to forfeit some
OF the more valuable land grants, and the
House whether the tariff shall be debated.
The proceedings of the House will at
tract most attention.
Personal and political debates, as lively
as those which characterized the proceed
ings of the House last week, are also ex
pected this week, an incidental effect o!
which will be to secure increased atten'
dance of members. The roll call OF
Saturday revealed the absence of l4
members, but strong efforts are making
TO secure a full house when Mr.. Morrison
moves to take up the tariff bill.
Five of the annual appropriation bills,
namely, the District Of Columbia, post
office, consular and diplomatic, agricul'
ture, and army have passed both houses
and await the action of the conference
mlnittees three, the pensions, mill
tsry academy, anu river and harbor, are
in the hands of he Senate committee
