THE RETIRED LIST.
Representative Bafley's Effort to
Abolish 1t Entirely.

Representative Bailey of Texas, whose
intention to begin a crusade against the re-
tired list of the army, navy and federal
judgeships was announced in The Star
several weeks ago, said today that he will
push his fight at an early day. The bills
providing for the virtual adjustment of
the army and navy retired list are now
before the military affairs and naval COM
mittees respectively.
Mr.. Bailey said that he will endeavor to
ascertain If these committees intend to re-
port the bills, and II they do not he will
ask for their re-reference to the committee
On judiciary and try to get them before the
House from that committee.
1t seems TO be the general impression
among members who are well posted that
Mr. Bailey is entering upon a losing fight,
or at least that he has a very hard strug-
gle before him. He is not the first south
erner who has made the same effort. A
notable Texan before him attempted the
undertaking. Senator Reagan, ex-postmas-
ter general of the confederacy, and whose
service in Congress was so long that the
mere mention of his name is sufficient TO
identify him. started this movement but
never got anything more out of the matter
than the reputation of having inaugurated

CIVIL SERVICE REPORT.
1t Will BE Given Out Tomorrow and
VIII BE n Double Affair.

The annual report of the civil service
commission will be given to the press to-
morrow evening. 1t was sent to the Presi-
dent about two weeks ago and to the prin-
ter yesterday. Proof slips for press asso-
Citations have been taken, and the ter
will be released by the commission tomor-
row. AS was the case last year, there is a
majority report signed by Commissioners
Roosevelt and Lyman, and minority re-
port by Mr.. Johnson. This year the breao h
between the majority and the minority re-
ports is wider than it was last year. At
that time the majority report recommended
that the application of the civil service law
be extended to all the branches of the gov
ernment to which 1t appropriately could be,
as, for instance, navy yards, internal reve-
nue., custom houses of certain classes, to
free delivery post offices and TO certain de-
partments of the government of the Dis
'trict of Columbia. Mr.. Johnson contented
himself with subscribing to this excepting
that last clause. which began for in
stance" etc. This year his report directly
antagonizes the commission on many
points, especially concerning the extension
of civil service. The Star man was inform
ed on very reliable authority that Mr..
Johnson this year objects to many things
TO which in last years report he subscribed.
1t was this fact, it is said. which induced
ton and then to dismiss him. Commission
ers Roosevelt and Lyman represented to
the President that they and Mr.. johnson
could not work in the same harness, and
that either they or he would have to go.
Mr.. Johnson went. The majority report
will show that during the past eight months
there has not been undue number of
partisan removals and appointments. Prac-
tically there have not been any either un-
der the Harrison or Cleveland adminStra-
tions within the classified service. The re-
port, 1t is thought, will call attention to the
large number of dismissals and appoint
ments in the examiners corps of the pension
bureau, but 1t Is probable that the commits
sion will say that these are due to certain
defects in the law. During the first eight
months of the Harrison administrator the
total number of appointments was 3O5 and
during corresponding period of the Cleve-
land administration the appointments num-
bered but 194. The percentage of removals
under the present administration is smaller
than under the Harrison regime but this
Is due to the fact that there is now a larger
number of people in the classified service
who have entered through the civil service
channel than there was four years ago
Much OF the matter which the report will
contain was outlined in the interview which
Commissioner Roosevelt accorded a reporter
tor The Star few days ago
