Heated Debate ON Civil Service Reform
Washington, Feb. 24.-The house sent
the naval bill the last of the appropria.
tion bills, TO the senate yesterday. Mr.
Bouteile. chairman OF the naval com.
mittee, was in charge of the measure,
and displayed such skill I'm it's handling
that it's provisions aroused little oppo'
sition, and IL was passed practically
without amendment. Mr.. Barrett OF
Massachusetts, made an effort 10 secure
an authorization for a drydock at Bos.
ton, TO cost 81, ,000, ,00o but, after a some
what acrimonious debate, the amend.
ment was ruled out Of order. He theI
tried to secure the appointment OF
commission 10 pass on the relative
merits OF Boston and Portsmouth as O
location for a drydock. and was equally
unsuccessful.
The feature OF the day was an exceed.
ingIy interesting political debate, which
occurred in the afternoon on the sub.
ject OF civil service reform. Ii occurred
during the consideration of a bill Il
permit governors to appoint officers OF
the territories. In cases OF vacancies
without the consent of the legisWtive
councils, which is now required by law
Ii was precipitated by some remarks OF
MIR. Bailey OF Texas which led TO de.
nunciation of the law by Delegate Flynn
OF Oklahoma and General Grosvenor OF
Ohio. Every time they thrust then
welpons into the law, they were greeted
with enthusiastic applause by most oi
the Republicans. MIR. Bailey himself
boldly declared the law TO be hum
bug" but he could not resist the tempta-
tion to make political capital by suggest
ing that General Grosvenor as the rep
resentative OF the incoming administra.
ton, had given notice that the law was
to be repealed. General Grosvenor par
ried this neatly, however, by recalling
the fact that his first controversy in the
house with Mr.. Mckinley was over this
very question. Mr. Brosus CRep.. Pa),
chairman of the committee on civil ser.
vice. defended the law and declared that
General Grosyenor had flashed the
sword in the heart of the president
elect" He called attention to Mr.. Nc.
Kinley's letter Of acceptance i'm which
the president-elect said he would take
no step backward" in the matter of civil
service reform.
The senate made slow progress yes.
terday on the appropriation bills, dispos
ing Of only one item OF the Indian bill,
that directing the opening OF Uncom-
rahgre Indian reservation in Utah. II
involved a conflict with the executive
branch, which has steadily resisted
opening these lands. on the ground that
they contained valuable mineral de-
posits. Mr.. Villas endeavored to have
n royalty reserved to the government.
but was defeated in this. and the clause
was agreed to after an all-day debate.
During the day a resolution by Mr.
Mills of Texas was adopted asking the
president for information as to the
death of DR.. Ruiz at Guamabucoa. Cuba

RIVER STEAMBOATS,.


While the western American river steam
ar may be improved In some minor points
II IA, in general design and construction,
admirably fitted for the peculiar work that
Il has TO do. Considered from a strictly
engineering standpoint, Il Is u creditable
structure. Furthermore IL is a striking
example Of the survival Of the fittest.
In comparing the advances which have
been mado In the ocean and American
lake marine with those on the western riv-
ers, the latter have generally been made TO
appear In an unfavorable light The fact,
however, has been overlooked In most
cases that tho conditions OF service are
radically different, and those differences
necessitatc, In fact compel, corresponding
differences I'm the character OF the steam
ers. The boilers and engines of the mag
nificent ocean liners would be as much out
of place and would fare as disastrousiy on
the western river steamboat as would the
machinery Of the latter IL transferred TO
ocean service Machinery essentially sim
liar TO that employed on the American
lakes has been tried many times on west
ern rivers. Large sums Of money have
been spent on experiments, and the result
has always been failure. Even the vertical
important details the machinery Of the
western river steamer is prcpminently
"thc right thing In the right place"
1t Is not uncommon for the boats TO run
aground, and 1t Is still more common for
the cargo on board to be badly distributed.
Either of these conditions will cause an
immediate distortion of the entire steamer,
and the machinery Is thrown out of line.
The peculiar type Of engines employed
stands this severe service without injury
or arrangement.
The accepted type OF machinery Is so
simple and reliable that II can bc handled
satisfactorily by small number Of men,
and these need not necessarily be highly
skilled, nor Of long experience. This Is Of
some importance In view Of the fact that
the months Of idleness render IL difficult to
retain the best men, and that it Is always
necessary to keep the salary account down.
Experiment has demonstrated that the
saving in fuel due 10 improved machinery
does not as rule compensate for tho
drawbacks accompanying its use, such as
increased weight, space occupied, greater
first cost and less reliability.-W. II. Bryan
