Senator Farwen Doesn't Believe In Civil
Service Nonsense.

WASHINGTON, March 12th.-Senator Farwell of
Illinois has a scientific plan for an equitable
distribution of the Federal patronage and is
trying hard to have 1t adopted by the new Ad-
ministration. " In the first place." said the
Senator, II believe in thoroughly partisan
service from top to bottom. That's what we are
here for, and that's what parties exist for. 1t is

IN THE SENATE.
Some Objection to the Canadian Investi
eating Committee.

WASHINGTON, March 12th.-When the Senate
met this morning Plait, from the Caucus COM
mittee, reported the new standing and select
committees OF the Senate.
Payne, of ohio, objected to the revival of the
committee to investigate the relations with
Canada. He said the committee was in his
opinion, originally created to embarrass the
Executive authority, and that it was the prov
ince of the Interstate Commerce Committee to
make such investigation.
Senator Hoar said the committee had given
greater study to the subject of our relations
with Canada, and he thought it of the greatest
importance the committee should be continued.
Senator Sherman said that, in his Judgment
the ultimate union of Canada and the United
States was as certain as the rising of the sun.
Already, he said, on both sides of the border,
west of the lakes to the Pacific, the sentiment
was strongly in favor of union.
After further discussion. the Senate adopted
the committees as reported Paine withdrawing
his motion to strike out the committee to inquire
into Canadian relations.
The Senate then went into executive session
and confirmed the nominations made yesterday
OF Palmer to be Minister to Spain, Swift to be
Minister to Japan Washburn to be Minister to
Switzerland, and Tlchenor TO be Assistant Secre.
tary of the Treasury.
The nominations read to- day were referred to
the appropriate committees, and the Senate ad.

WASHINGTON, March 12th.-Admiral Porter,
Admiral OF the Navy, has been making care
full study of the Samoan situation. This after
noon he was found in his Office, surrounded by
charts of the Pacific Ocean and maps of Samoa.
On table by his side was complete list of the
tonnage and armament of the German navy.
In an interview, he said:
"A pin is worth fighting for if principle is
involved. OF course, we are weak at present
upon the ocean, but there is plan which will

TEMPER OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
No one supposes that the American people
would give up the contest until Germany had
received sound drubbing. We have surplus
and revenue enough TO carry on desultory war
until we are In fighting trim. While we are
getting ready we can prohibit the entry of Ger
