WASHINGTON, Dec. 2l.-To-day's

tlrely to discussion of the question OF
the civil service law. The resolution

several departments OF the govern
ment for information concerning the
application OF the civil service
law to their departments and for
an expression of their opinion as to
what, II any, modification ought 10 be
made in It, was the subject directly un-
der discussion,
All the members OF the cabinet were
present except Secretary Alger, and
there was no dissent from the proposi-
ton that the civil service law ought TO

the system, In the opinion OF all. must
be maintained, but there was some diff
ference OF opinion as to the extent OF us
application. In connection with the
senate resolution II was pointed out that

would be an Improvement upon present
conditions. In some other departments
exceptions TO the operations OF the law,
in the opinion of the cabinet members,
ought to be made.
Some positions they reported were in-
cluded in the blanket order OF President
Cleveland that might better not have
been included. In such cases Isolated
here and there in several of the depart
ments, it would, in the judgment OF the
heads OF these departments. be quite
proper for the President TO modify Mr..
Cleveland's order.
While the system was pretty thor
oughiy discussed II can be said upon the
authority OF three members Of the cab
met that no definite policy was out
