THE CIVIL
SERVICE LAW
Bitterly Assailed in the Upper House Of
Congress.
"A HUMBUG, A DELUSIOE, A SNARE,
Declares Mr.. Wilson, a Washington Re
publican -Messrs. Hoar and Lodge
Defend the Law, While sena-
tor Hawley Says it Has
Been Violated

Washington, March 24-The senate
was unexpectedly precipitated into
civil service debate yesterday It pro-
ceeded for two hours, the civil service
act and the commission being under
fire most of the time The debate as
sumed added significance owing to the
recent change Of administration and
the attendant demand for offices. Mr.
German, Of Maryland, called attention
to the presence in Washington of the
horde of hungry place hunters, and
expressed profound sympathy with his
Republican associates over the restric-
tions of the civil service system The
discussion came up on a resolution to
investigate federal removals at South
Omaha, Neb. Mr.. Gallinger, Of New
Hampshire, characterized the civil
service system as a humbug, and de-
clared he would be glad to cast his
vote to blot out the system There
was continued applause in the galleries
at this statement.
Mr. Allen, of Nebraska, called the
civil service act a monumental hum
bug and Mr.. Wilson of Washington,
said 1t was a "humbug a delusion,
snare and a fraud Mr.. Hawley, of

British Dislike Senate Amentments

London, March 24.-The Times, in a
leading editorial, gives expression to
anything but satisfied state of feeling
as to the senatorial amendments of the
treaty Of arbitration. 1t says "The
United States senate has destroyed
the arbitration treaty. The first
amendment accepted is alone sufficient
to render the treaty unworkable and
utterly worthless. The senate has
done more than to wreck an instru-
ment carefully forged by representa-
tiyes of the two nations. 1t has struck
blow at the principle of arbitration
itself, and at the confidence Of the
world in the American people"

ing for man and a woman who are believed
to be accomplices of young Kaiser, who was
convicted at Norristown, Pa, last week, on
the charge of having murdered his wife for
the purpose Of securing the $4,000 insurance
upon her life. Every effort was made before
the trial to learn the whereabouts Of these
people, and it was only within the past day
or two that the scent was turned toward the
coal regions.

SUED FOR SURCHARGES
The widow Joyce sues to Recover Against
Her son-in-Law.

Suit was commenced to-day in the Common
Pleas Court by NJ NJ. Burke, Esq, for Mrs.
Joyce, widow and administrators Of
Peter Joyce of Butler township, against her
son-in-law, Owen Conroy, of Big Mine Run.
These proceedings are the result of the
difficulty that has existed between the Butler
township school district and the Joyce estate
IL appears that the late Peter Joyce had been
nominally treasurer of the district, while
Conroy was treasurer de facto and reaped all
the profits The auditors have made certain
surcharges against Joyce which, it appears
viii have to be paid out of the estate. These
surchdrges Conroy refuses to pay, hence the
widow sues.

to make them nearer them than to

only from the towns in the immediate

lar attention is being paid to means of

the democratic free silver and free
trade presidential nomination in 1900
1t is Bailey, of Texas, who has the
support of majority of the demo
Gratis in the House in his efforts to be
their leader. Mr.. Bailey figures that
he is quite as much of an orator as Mr..
Bryan, and quite as much entitled to
the nomination. After the nomina-
ton of Bryan, no sensible man would
doubt the possibility of any action by
democratic convention. Neither of
them is fitted for so responsible Il
place as the presidency, but Bailey
has been regarded as less of dema-
gogue than Bryan, although getting
the presidential fever may cause him
to out Bryan Bryan in that direction.
