EVIDENCE OF MURDER.
A Human Foot with Spike Through
1t Found on n Pullman
Sleeping Car.

Chicago Dec. 9.-Evidence of a start
ling nature, which indicates that muir
der has been committed somewhere be-
tween Chicago and Denver, on the Chi
cago & Alton railroad, was found to-
day on the top trucks of the Pullman
sleeping car Miltiades, shortly after its
arrival in Chicago. 1t was a human
foot, apparently that of man. and a
long, slender spike penetrated the large
toe.
The foot, which had been torn off
above the ankle, was bare and mutt
lated. Ligaments, which had been torn
from the upper portion of the limb
and remained attached to the foot in
ACKNOWLEDGMENT. were twisted around
the blood-stained trucks of the sleeper.
The police believe that a man had been
tied To the railroad track, his feet
spiked to the ties and that he had been
left to await certain death under the
train.
On this theory. inquiries are now be-
ing made at every point on the road be-
tween Chicago and Denver. The spike.
which was in the center of the toe, was
about five inches long and of the kind
used in certain parts of railroad con-
struction. where a delicate, yet strong.
piece of metal is used to hold wood to-
gether. There was no blood on the en-
CINE which. the railroad men say,
proves that the accident or murder, as
the case may be, occurred west of
Bloomington, as a change of engines is
made at that point.

LONG ON CIVIL SERVICE
Believes the President to Be
Right in His Position.
GIVES BETTER SERVICE
The Great Body OF the People Has No
Desire to GO Back to the Old Sys-
tem-Merit and Work Only
Should Count.

Washington, Dec. 9.--Secretary Long
of the navy. in conversation with an
associated press reporter to-day, ex-
pressed the hope that the present civil
service system would not be impaired.
He said he had entire sympathy with
the congressman who are brought d.
rectly in contact with applicants Tor
official positions, but he believed that
the president was right and should be
sustained He was of the opinion that
the great body of people has no desire
TO go back to the old system, certainly
not IL their attention is called to the
merits of the case.
With great Difference for the opinion
of others who differed from him. the
views which. before occupying his po-
litical position. he said he had held with
regard TO the benefits of the present,
have been confirmed by his experience
in the navy department. He said
First the government gives better
service The civil service examina-
tions are much better than reported,
but even at their worst, they result in
furnishing more competent clerks who,
instead of looking TO political influence
for their retention in office. know that
that depends upon their merits and
good work. The power of removal
which hangs over them all the time,
and which should never be impaired
and which the heads of departments
are constantly invoking in cases of in
efficiency, keeps them up to the mark.
Second the congressman themselves
as well as the heads of departments, are
relieved from what used to be an in
cessant drive upon them, taking half
their time Under the old system,
where they pleased one they made enc
mics of 10.
Third the applicant for office is put
tF~Ya3 a Sin nd A tHa N
footing. The old system was absolutely
undemocratic and un-American. If
there is a democratic and American
principle IL is that every man shall have
chance and win according to his
merit What would be said IL a school
teacher would put at the head of her
class, not the best scholar, but the
scholar whom the school committeeman
who secured her her place desired?
There would be storm in every Amer
lean household. And yet, under the
old system. the congressman. even if
against his will. was compelled to be
GEAR in the matter of appointments.
The young American citizen DESTROYS to
enter the national service could only do
SO, not by going into competition With
other candidates, but by securing the
consent of the political party in au-
thority. 1t was not enough that he
was one of the people but he must be
within the circle of the influence of
those to whom that authority was un-
der obligation"
The secretary added that his depart
ment was now. both in the clerical and
labor lines, entirely within the civil
service rules, except with regard to
about dozen places. those being main
ly persons employed off and on at about
50 day. He was rather glad that
these We're left under the old system as
they furnished an object lesson to some
of its Objectionable features.

too much credit could not be given to the
present administration for the admirable
manner in which it had handled and dis
posed of the Pacific railroad matters.
Mr.. Harris facetiously Congratulated
his friend from Iowa (Mr Gear. and his
friend from Nebraska lMr. Thurston),
upon the change which had come over
them since the consideration of the Pa
ciiic railroad question last spring. Mr..
Gear responded that so far as he was
concerned no change had been expert
enced, and that he was just as much OPP
posed to government ownership of the
railroads as ever.
Mr.. Thurston congratulated the country
upon the result of the administration
efforts regarding the Pacific railroads He
said If the plan proposed by Mr.. Harris
had been adopted the United States
would not have received anything APP
proximatng the magnificent sum which
had been paid for the main line of the
Union Pacific. He said that the result
demonstrated the correctness of the posi-
ton which he had held ever since the
Pacific railroad matter had been subject
of controversy. He expressed the opinion
that the prosperous business condition
brought to the country by the advent OF
the present administration had so i'm
proved the main line of the Union Pa
cihc railroad that 1t would now, prob
ably earn dividends upon the full amount
of the large purchase price paid.
Mr.. Harris inquired whether Mr.. Thurs
ton thought the same conditions would
correspondingly improve the Kansas Pa
cifc branch.
Mr.. Thurston said that it was hardly
to be expected that branch line would
be affected in the same manner as a great
transcontinental railroad. He said that he
noticed in the presidents message that
the administration IL committed to the
policy of purchasing the Kansas Pacific
branch until better price was offered.
He did not believe in government owner
ship of railroads, and he was of the opin-
ion that the experiment of such owner
ship, If IL was to be tried. might better
be tried with some other than the Kan
sas Pacific. He suggested to the Pacific
railroad committee that the authority
asked for by the president to buy in the
road be coupled with fun power to resell
1t.
Upon motion of Mr.. Lodge the immigra-
ton bill was made the unfinished bust
ness of the senate calendar.
Mr.. Carter. chairman of the census COM
mittee. secured unanimous consent for
the consideration on Monday next of his
bill providing for the taking of the fed
eral census in 1900 Mr.. Lodge agreeing
not to press the immigration bill on Mon
day or Tuesday in view of the anxiety of
Mr.. Carter to secure consideration of the
census measure.
At 2:40 p. m. the senate adjourned until
Monday.
