AFTER THE HOLIDAY RECESS
THE CIVIL SERVICE LAWS.
They Are the Subject of Discussion
i'm Both the senate and House
Hawaiian Annexation Treaty
The Census HilI.

There was not a very large attendance
after the holiday recess. Without any
preliminary business the house went into
Il committee of the whole to resume con
sideration of the Legislative judicial and
executive appropriation bill All the fea-
lures of the bill had been disposed of eN-
ccpt the appropriation for a civil service
commission, upon which by previous al
raugemcnt there was to be general de
bate. 1t was proposed by Moody (repD
of Massachusetts and Dockcry (dem.) of
Missouri to control the time for and
against Hepburn (repl of Iowa suggest
ed that it was a three-corncred contest.
Moody of Massachusetts made an elabo-
rate defense OF the civil service system.
Dockery (dem.) of Missouri opened the
opposition to the civil service law. He
made warm speech. in which he declared
that the law was odious to the American
people and should be repealed.
There was only a small attendance in
the senate. Allen of Nebraska spoke on
the immigration bill and declared in favor
OF consular inspection of immigrants. Car
ter of Montana called up the bill to pro
vide for taking the next census and ar
gued against making the appointments
through the civil service commission, say
ing it was only Il preliminary measure and
provided only for - places. Cockrell of
Missouri replied, declaring that the repub-
lican party was backing squarely down
from its position on the civil service queS-
ton. Senator Davis chairman of the
committee on foreign relations, gave no.
tice in the senate that he would call up
the Hawaiian annexation treaty in eXecu-
tive session on Monday and ask the sen
ate to consider it each day thereafter I'M
til the treaty should be disposed of. The
Davis announcement was preceded by
some active work ON the part of the
friends of the treaty prior to the opening
of the senate, and also on the floor after
the senate convened. They do not feel
absolutely sure of securing the 60 votes
| necessary to ratify the treaty, but are
/ hopeful of getting that number.

NO CLEW TO THEM, AS USUAL
Railway Robbers Tied Up the Mes
senger and RifIed the Local Safe.

Kansas City, Jan. 5.--The Port Arthur
express, which left the depot here at 6:30
o'clock last night, was robbed before it
had passed beyond the city limits. Two
men, whom no one but the express messen-
ger appears to have seen, climbed into the
express car as the train left the depot.
They overpowered the messenger, bound
and gagged him, and rifed the ear before
the train came to a stop. When the train
slowed up at a crossing known as AR Line
Junction, they climbed out of the car and
disappeared. Nothing was known of the
robbery until negro train porter entered
the car and found the express messenger
helpless.
At the express company's Office here c.
r. Teas, the local manager, stated there
was not much of value i'll the local safe
and that 5000 or $500 would probably
cover the company's loss. In police cir
cles, however, the impression prevails that
the robbers secured several thousand dol
lars in money and jewelry.

EX-PREsIDENTS FOR SENATE.
Provision for Future Executives Ac-
cording to Montana Man.

New York, Jan. G.-E. L. Bonner OF
Montana, in the course of conversation
made the suggestion that every eX-presi-
dent of the United States should he sent
to the senate. Mr.. Bonner. who is on his
way to Italy and one of the wealthiest
citizens of Montana, where he has large
mining, agricultural and industrial inter
ests. said
There is one thing that should be set
tied, and that is the term of presidents
and the treatment of them when their
terms expire. | think a president ought
to be elected for a term of eight years and
then be ineligible for reelection. Upon
his retirement think he should be placed
upon a pension equal to One-half the sal
AIRY he drew as president. Thus he would
90 into office practically unfettered and
would not have to trim, politically or
otherwise, toward the future. | does not
seem to me that an eX president should
be compelled to 90 to a small town and
practice law for a living. | think he
should be sent to the senate, to remain as
long as he lives. His knowledge of the
affairs of the nation would be extremely
beneficial to that body
