SENATE.

WASHINGTON, june o.
A considerable number Of bills for private
relief were passed, and the Senate, at 5.45
o'clock, adjourned.
HOUSE
The House went into committee of the
whole on the legislative executive and judi
ciary appropriation bill.
An attempt was made to arrive at some
determination as to the time when general
debate should close, Mr.. Holman of Indiana,
suggesting that it should end at 4.30, but the
Republicans objected to it as being too short
a time, and Mr.. Reagan Of Texas on the
ground that debate should close at an earlier
time. 1t was finally agreed that the general
discussion should close at ten minutes to five.
Mr. Springer Of Illinois, defended the COM
missioner of pensions from the charge of
having violated the civil service law. He
went on to show that many of the special
examiners appointed had been Republicans,
and called attention to the fact that Commits
soner Black had retained eight Republican
heads of divisions who were not protected
by the civil service law.
Mr.. Reed of Maine, while doubling the
correctness of this statement suggested that
Mr. Springer would make Black very unpop-
ular with the Democratic party if he contin-
ued his speech.
Mr.. Springer asserted that among the en-
ployes of the pension Office not protected by
law, half of them were Republicans. The
DIlnlluH
Rounds, with 2600 employees, not protected
BY law. History would show, the facts
would demonstrate that CleVeland's admin
istratiOn was the most nOn-partlsOn admins
tration since that of George Washington.
The President had endeayored faithfully and
honestly to execute the civil service law.
The Democratic party was in favor of the
execution of the law in letter and spirit, but
the law was not intended to put it into the
hands of cabal to regulate appointments to
office.
The debate was continued by Messrs, But
terworth of Ohio. Townshend Of Illinois,
Shaw of Maryland, Cox of North Carolina
and Randall Of Pennsylvania. General de-
bate then closed and the reading Of the bill
was commenced.
Mr.. Morrison of Illinois, raised a point of
order against the words ''in full compensa-
ton" where they occur in the general appro-
priation section of the bill
Pending a decision of the point of order,
the committee rose, and the House at five
O'Clock adjourned.

Pasteur Could Not Save Him.

PARIS, June 9. "A farmer from Roumania
died of hydrophobia Monday, while under
treatment by NJ. Pasteur. The Romanian

had been under treatment far eleven days he
exhibited symptoms of hydrophobia on Sat

rabies for nearly forty-eight hours before
death relieved him. This mans death and
all the circumstances attending his case are
