PROCEEDINGS IN CONGRESS.
Civil Service Law Declared Accountable
and u Repeal Demanded.

Washington, Dec. 10.-At the opening
of the session Of the House today 1t
was agreed that when the House ad-
journs today 1t be to meet ON Nom
day. on motion Of Mr. Foss (Rep.
llls). Saturday December Is, was set
apart for paying tribute to the memory
of the late Representative Il. ID. Cook,
of Illinois.
The House then resumed the consid-
Grafton of the pension appropriation
bill, which was debated yesterday
Mr.. Brown CRep., Ills,), attacked the
civil service law because it protected
some of the pension examining boards
appointed under the last administra-
ton. He styled It "abominable" and
was Justify applaudcd by many col
leagues. He said the soldiers Of his
district regarded this law as inimical
to their interests and he favored its
repeal or radical modification.
He declared that the President was
mistaken when he affirmed that the
civil service law had the approval of
the people. The Republicans and the
press OF his district had denounced IL.
The last Republican state convention
OF Ohio had declared against the law
and on that platform he stood.
If disloyalty to the law was dis
loyalty to the Republican party. then
he was disloyal. Great applause In
the galleries)
AT the conclusion of Mr.. Browns
remarks, the House, by unanimous
consent, agreed to close general debate
on the bill at 3:l5.
Mr. Cromwell Rcp., Ohio said he
concurred with his colleague, Mr..
Brown, but he insisted that true civil
service reform was n cardinal prin-
ciple Of republicanlsm. II IL believed
he said, that Grover Cleveland had
done more to discredit the true spirit
of civil service reform than all the
others combined. and he thought Mr..
Mckinley could be relied upon to bring
II back into its proper channel.
In the House today Dinglcy declared
that but for anticipatory importatlons
there would he surplus this yenr of
SlO00O,000, instead Of deficit and the
Republicans loudly oheered when he
asserted that by Nav next receipts
would again outrun expenses monthly.

NEW YORK, March 22.-The Crom-
we'll line steamer Creole, Captain eager,
from New Orleans, which arrived to-
day, reports that on the passage
boat belonging to the ill-fated steamer
Vile de st. Nazairre. which foundered
off Hatteras on Monday, March 8. was
picked up with six dead bodies in it.
Captain eager said that yesterday in
latitude 36.17, longitude 74.30, boat
was passed, filled with water. After
going a short distance he recalled the
loss of the st. Nazairre, and thinking
it might belong to her. turned the
steamer and put back. When the
steamer got alongside the boat it was
seen that she contained six bodies lying
in heap under the seats, and the water
in her was up to the gunwale. The
davits were not strong enough to hoist
her out of the water, so the forward
derrick was swung over the side and
the boatswain was sent down to hook
on the tackle The tackle was first
hooked to the bow, and hosting the
boat so as to empty some of the water
out of her the bodies were washed out
of the other end and Immediately sank.
The boat was taken on board the Creole
and brought to port, and now lies on
the steamers dock awaiting the orders
of the French Steamship company. The
boat contained some clothing. mostly
seamen's trousers and jumpers, two
women's shoes of different patterns, a
child's sock, a nipple to nursing bottle,
part of a bottle of soothing syrup and
some claret bottles containing fresh
water. There was also quite quantity
of French bread, two caseknives and a
uniform button of the French company s
service.
There is some doubt as to one of the
bodies being that of woman. The man
who went down into the boat says there
was no woman, while some of the ex-
Cited passengers, who crowded about,
looking at the ghastly spectacle, said
there was, and the mate was ready to
swear he saw a woman's body. Captain
eager says there was not a woman and
he thinks, from the dress and appear
ance of the bodies, that they were part
of the crew, and that two of them were
coloreu HELL.
The boat is large one, about forty
feet long, and pointed at both ends. She
had the appearance of being quite old,
and is very much dilapidated, probably
caused by the buffeting of the waves
during the thirteen days she had been
in the water since the wreck. She had
no oars, mast or sail when picked up.
The survivors of the wrecked st. Ma
zairre, who were brought to this port,
are having a hard struggle to regain
their health. Captain Berri, Surgeon
Marie and Engineer Sauts are still con-
fined to their rooms in the Hotel Mar
tin. Their condition is somewhat i'm
proved. Slow progress is also reported
in the condition of the surviving pas
senger, Juan de Tejada.
