Special Correspondence.

WASHINGTON, Feb, 10.- The Senate of the Uaitea States is said to be the most dianifcd and greatest leeisla- tive body ia the world. In consid- ering matters pertaining 10 treaties and our foreign relations generally with foreign countries, they go into executive session and it is expected that everything said and done dur ing that session is absolutely secret,
 l very well remember only few years ago when one of the employees of the Senate was arraigned, tried and dismissed on the charge of giv- ing out information Tn regard to things that happened during the ex- ecutiye session of the Senate. It was always believed that the poor fellow was made scape goat for the bad faith of the Senators themselves.

Deutsch. After the feast. dancing was again resumed and continued until a late hour.
 The Club had offered prizes to the lady and gentleman who wore the best costume, and Messrs. D. Nj Bluthenthal, Leo Blum and E. B Bloom were appointed committee to award the prizes. After delibera- ton the judges, as well as others, were unanimous in the opinion that Mrs. 4. Strauss was entitled to the ladies prize, which was Il silver atomizer.

CIVIL SERVICE.

The thirteenth annual report of the Civil Service Commission, coy ering the past fiscal year, has been submitted to the President. It re- views the growth of the Govern ment's civil service, the efforts of the commission to eradicate parti sanship in Federal offices, and inn portant civil service reforms and ex- tensions contemplated In num- Der of cases of charges of political assessments it was found that there had been only technical violations of the law.
 "As to tenue of office, the report says, "our administrative system now presents the anomoly of filing certain inferior positions by the test of merit and changing every four years the higher positions, like collectors of customs and internal revenue, postmasters and chiefs of bureaus, in which the largest capac- ity and longest experience are re quired, and thus frequently subject ing subordinates to inexperienced and incompetent superiors, to the demoralization of the public service. ?
 The increase in the number of offices, it is asserted, is bound to force a change in the method of fill ing them There are now nearly 10000 persons in the public service commissioned by the President, and the number is growing.
 The aggregate compensation paid in the executive civil service of the United States during the last fiscal year was, approximately, $100, 900, 000.
