WASHINGTON, D. c.. Feb. 27.-The
civil service investigation was resumed
to-day. One of the charges against the
commission considered to-day ayerred
that Mr.. Roosevelt secured the ap-
pointment of one Hamilton Shidy to
place in the census bureau. when it was
known that Shidy, an officer of the civil
service commission as secretary of the
board of local examiners Of the Milwau-
kee post Office, had perSiStently and re-
peatedly violated his oath of office In
making false certificatiOns and not re-
porting violations of the civil service
law. Mr.. Shidy, being called to the
stand, said he had filed the position of
secretary of the local examining board
OF the Milwaukee p0stoffice until. July
l. 1890. Nominally he had entire
charge of the books and papers of
the board, although he actually had
not because the papers were not always
in his possession. There were irregular
tiles in the board in 1888. He did not
report them to the civil service commits
sion as it was his duty cOnstrnctively to
do, though not actually so, he contend
ed, as lie regarded his duty to the post
master to be paramount. He had made
some certificatiOns of persons for APP
pointment inaccurately. 1t was made
part of his duty as clerk under Mr.. Paul,
the postmaster, to

so as to make some OF the crrtifications
improperly. The certifieations were not
made to conform to the rules and regu-
latiOns of the civil service. Witness ex-
planned what was meant by tOrturing
the records. In the first place he said
the postmaster would make an appoint
ment. Then he would have witness GER
tify this name and two other eligibles to
him and he (Paul) would select the name
of the person whom he had already ap-
pointed. Mr.. Paul, he said, had free
access to the list of e'igibles, contrary
to law. and witness lii not prevent him
because he CO" .rot gainsay the wishes
of the postr, er and because his official
life wOula. nave been at stake. There
were also instances in which examina-
ton papers were revised by direction
of the postmaster, so as to change the
percentages of an applicant This was
not done to any great extent, be said,
only when it was necessary. He, said
he never knew of questions being given
out to candidates for appointment be-
fore examination, and the postmaster
did not have access to them. He in-
sisted that he did not start OF instigate
the examination of tine charges against
the postmaster. He was now in gov
ernment employ in the census Office,
having obtained position there
through the friendly offices of the civil
service commissioners. Witness de-

to-day petition from Farmers alli-
ance in Brown county, headed "a Do
Nothing Body" was read, which took
the house to task for the slow way of
doing business and recommended the
passage of certain laws. The house
prohibition bill with senate amend
ments came up for final passage and
was adopted entire as amended in the

the amendments of the senate are as
follows: Fixing the date on which the

the limit of the jurisdiction of county

and the president had to call the senate
to order for indulgIng in personalities,

write the name OF his informant on a
slip OF paper and put the slip of paper
into the hand of Sir Richard Webster,
leaving To Sir Richard the choice of dis
closing or nOtdisclosing the name to the

could adopt what course he chose. He
himself had direct authority to contra
dict the allegation that the Marquis of
Salisbury had spoken to any one regard
ing the Issue of the warrant. MIR. La

Richard Webster's assurances. nor did
he believe the Marquis of Salisbury,
whose denials were obviously untrue.

quested the gentleman to with
draw the words calling to Ques-
ton the veracity of the pre-

him for suspension and called upon the

bate. said he knew the name MIR. La

Richard Webster. and 1t was one that
carried conviction as to the correctness of
the statements that had been made. w.
ii. Smith called upon Mr.. O'ConnOr to
give the name in the interest of justice.
MIR. O'Connor declined upon the ground
that the name had been impaired to
him in confidence. Charles Hail, men,
Der for. Cambridge, declared that
Lord Arthur Somerset was prepared to
quit London before his interview with
Sir Dighton PrObyn. The Marquis of
Salisbury admitted that Sir Dighton

Arthur Somerset to clear his character,
Other members having demanded
