Washington, March 24.-The senate was
unexpectedly precipitated into a civil
service debate yesterday. 1t proceeded
for two hours, the civil service act and
the commission being under fire most Of
the time. The debate assumed sig
niGcance owing to the recent change
Of administration and the attendant
demand for offices. German called at
tention to the presence in Washington
OF the horde of hungry place hunters
and express profound sympathy with
his Republican associates over the re-
strict!cns OF the civil service system.
The discussion came up on a resolution
to investigate federal removals at South
Omaha, Neb. Gallinger characterized
the civil service system as a humbug
and declared he would be glad to cast
his vote to blot out the system.
There was continued applause in
the galleries at this statement.
Allen of Nebraska called the civil ser
vice act a monumental humbug" and
Wilson Rep.) of Washington. said it was
''humbug, a delusion, a snare and 4
fraud" Hawley, while defending the
principle of civil service, said it's prac-
tice had been attended with glaring in
competency. Stewart regarded the civil
service commission as an office broker
age establishment Hoar and Lodge
defended the law.
The resolution directing the civil SER
vice committee of the senate to in
vestigate the South Omaha, Neb, re-
movals was broadened by an amend
ment instructing the committee to in
quire into the general operation of the
law and TO report whether it should be
continued, amended or repealed. Tur-
pie spoke in favor of popular election
of senators at considerable length. A
joint resolution was adopted for the
purchase of 1000 tents for the use of
Mississippi river food sufferers, and the
bankruptcy bill was given the right
of-way as unfinished business after 9
p, m. daily.

the remedy is an excellent one, and
DO not hesitate to commend it to
suffering"
To postpone at such a vital time IS
this regulating the nerves and puri-
fyiog the blood is a serious mistake.
Men and women distressed by nerv-
Gus troubles or the effects of impure
blood cannot afford now to lose a
day before taking advantage of
Paine's celery compound.
In order to avoid disappointment
accept nothing but Paine's celery
pound. A clerk who tries to
sell something else than what people
ask for is evidently not disinterested.
He has an eye to profits more than to
The good of customer.
There can be no substitute for
Paine's celery compound.
This has been shown time and
time again in cases were persons,
too easily led, have carried home
something besides Paine's celery
compound, and have failed to get
the decided benefi. they had hoped
for.
The strongest Endorsement ever
received for this great spring rem
edy-and no remedy ever compared
with Paine's celery compound in the
character and the number of the wit
nesses to its eificiency-the strong
est Endorsement it ever received did
not overestimate or exaggerate in
the least its unrivaled power of max
ing people well.

The Crevasses That Cause q Fall in Water
at Memphis.


Memphis, Tenn. March 24-Another
fall of one-tenth Of a foot in the river at
Memphis is announced by official bulle-
tin from the weather bureau. This very
slight drop in the high water here is not
considered by the weather bureau off,
Gals as being indicative of permanent
or material change, but is caused it IS
thought by the giving way of the levee
above Memphis. The end of the food
is not yet discerinble. The gauge yes
terday morning registered 36.9 feet, or
one-fifth Of foot below the highest
point reached. This drop has not made
any change for the better in the situa-
ton. Indeed it is caused by a decided
change for the worse in the Arkansas
districts. which have been inundated by
the water rushing through the broken
levees above Memphis. At Cairo, Ills,
the river is still rising, the gauge indi-
eating 5I3 feet, rise of three-tenths OF
a foot in the twenty-four hours ended
yesterday morning.
At Marked Tree, on the st. Francis
river, the rise is even greater, the gauge
registering 40 feet, a rise of eight-tenths
of foot in twenty-four hours With
the rise continuing at Marked Tree and
at Cairo there is no hope of immediate
relief at Memphis. The rise continues
at every point below Memphis. except at
Arkansas City. At Helena the gauge
registered 4s.4 feet, a rise of three-tenths
of a foot. The river at Helena is now
124 feet above the danger line. At Arkan-
sas City there has been a fall Of four
tenths of a foot.
At Greenville, on the other hand, there
has been considerable rise, the gauge
| registering 434 feet.

for the reason that it would be against

Mr.. Gray, of Delaware, was the first
speaker to antagonize the motion of
the senator from New York.
The debate on this motion will prob
ably consume considerable time and
prevent much attention being given to
the merits Of the treaty.
Senator Gray was followed by Sena

NAY CREATE A sENsATloN.
Consul General Leo May Surprise the
State Department Soon.

DIaLe bepaFlmsnL soon
HAVANA, Feb. S, VIA KEY WEST, Fla.
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee is likely to create
sensation in the United States some
day. 1t is an open secret in the con-
sulate that the consul general is con-
ducting some unsatisfactory corre-
spodenee with Washington. He thinks
the state department is not backing
him up in his efforts to get justice for
American citizens arrested and thrown
into Spanish prisons.
Gen. Weyler takes his time in an
swering requests, lie is polite about
get warm that he has overlooked the
case, and begins a new delay. 1t is
clear that Spain will not voluntarily
loosen her grip on any American pris-
oner here until after the war.
This situation is wearing on Gen.
Lee, who is zealously trying to have
Americans promptly accorded their
rights. Some day he may make the
issue. If he does, he will demand that
the state department stand by him.
1t will refuse to do so, and the sem
eral will resign and give his reasons
for so doing. Either this viii happen
or the sensation will begin in Havana,
and will extend all over the island. 1t
us believed here that this crissi is fast
approaching. The general is said to
be waiting a good, clear-cnt case to
break out. He will not discuss the
matter, but there is evidently much in
the report In spite of his efforts, IL
American citizens in prison are no
nearer trial than before.
