Civil Service Law Attacked.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-At the
opening of the session of the house it
was agreed that when the house ad
journed today it wonld be to meet on
Monday.
Brown, republican of Illinois, at
lacked the civil service law because it
protected some of the pension ex-
amining boards appointed under the
last administration. He said the sold
iers of his district regarded this law
as inimical to their interests, and he
favored its repeal or radical modifica-
tion. He declared that the president
was mistaken when he affirmed that
the civil service law had the approval
of the people. Republicans and the
press of his district had denounced it.

PltIabie III True,


NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-The Journal
and Advertiser says:
Weyler's policy OF determination,
which he called RECOMMENDATION, has
resulted in an enormous influx of
Cubans into New York. Hundreds if
not thousands of them are dying of
hunger here. The number of these
refugees is variously estimated from
1900 to 10000. Perhaps the great
are absolutely without means.
There are men and women among
them who were worth thousands of
dollars before the war began. but are
now penniless. Some of these are
as walters, porters or seam.

Lightship Launched.

PORTLAND, Dec. 12.-Lightship No

roadway, the roofs of surrounding
buildings and the Madison and Morri-
son street bridges saw her enter the
water. Not an accident nor a hitch
marred the event.
Shortly after II o'clock, Miss Dorcas
Merrell, who had been requested by
the contractors to christen the vessel,
mounted the platform at the bow, ac-
companied by her mother and father,
Commander John P. Merrell, inspec-
tor of the 18th lighthouse district. F.

guests were also on the platform. TAX
ing the champagne bottle, which
was suspended by red. white and
blue cord from the starboard bow, in
her hand, she made ready for the mo-
ment when the ship should start.
"Meanwhile, both ak and lever had
manfully been Piled" and in a few
minutes those on deck felt the vessel
shiver little and then. by watching
stationary objects, they saw that she
had started. When she was yard out
of port on her first voyage, Miss Mer-
rell held the bottle high above her
head and cast it energetically at the
retreating ship. 1t was shattered into
a thousand fragments, and the light
ship was numbered"
While the crowd cheered and waved
hats, umbrellas and handkerchiefs. the
Harvest Queen and the iron works
footed their whistles, and some one on
board changed the fog bell, the big
ship slipped gracefully down the ways,
and striking the water with a great
splash, shot out little way from shore
and lay gently rolling in her own
swell. She had barely reached deep
water when the anchor was let 60, and
she stopped sharply at the end of the
chain, to wait for the Harvest Queens
assistance to the wharf.

Kenny and Allen.

1ne vote was preceded DV SnOr'-
spirited debate, introduced by Senator
Mills Of Texas, who made a strong APP
zeal the senate against ratfying the
agree lent. He asserted that as
amen I'd the document was most oh
lectionable. not TO say contradictory in
terms. lie pointed out especially the
provision for the settlement of contro-
versies i'm regard TO territorial claims
and asserted that. whereas the amend
ment adopted 10y the senate to the first
article OF the treaty declares against
their inclusion, the sixth and eighth
articles made provision for them.
lie held that so long as these
articles remained unchanged. England
could justly claim that questions of ter
ritorial rights were still included within
the scope OF the treaty.
Under such circumstances. he asked,
what was 10 prevent England from pur-
chasing the island OF Cuba. or any other
American territory, and in case of OBJ
ieot tion on the part Of the United States
insisting upon the reference OF the dis
pute 10 arbitration? He spoke of the
conduct Of England in connection with
the Graeco-Turkish war, and implored
the senate 20 protect the United States
against the opposed alliance.
The speech made a visible impression
and the opinion was general that the
treaty should he amended So as To rem
edy the Inconsistency explained. Sem
ator Tillman asked that time be given
for such amendment Owing To the
fact that the senate was under agree
n'ent TO vqie upon the treaty, there could
be no postponement, except by unan-
hhous consent
senator Carter Objects.
Senator Carter. who from the first
has been one of the most active and ef-
fective opponents Of the treaty inter-
posed objection. lie made a very pun
gent speech in opposition.
Senator HOar replied briefly, going
over the general arguments i'm favor Of
the treaty, and contending especially
tnat the objection of Inconsistency, in
regard 10 territorial claims, was not
well founded.
The remainder OF the debate was of n
running character. Senators White
and PettigreW iuterjeCted questions
tending TO show continued opposition.
IL was evident before the ballot was
completed that the motion TO ratify
would be beaten. The absence of some
s"nators. impaired, who were consid-
cred favorable 90 arbitration. was ac-
cepted as an unfavorable indication.
The covert opposition TO ratification
was made very manifest after the vote
