IN THU SENATE.

Washington, Jan. 7.-While the SEN
ate was in session two hours practical
~ no business was transacted beyond
the passage of few bills. Among
the measures which received favora BILE
consideration were the bills providing
for congress of the representatives
of the Indian tribes of the United
States to be held at Omaha during the
progress Of the exposition this year:
bills providing for the erection Of pub
lie buildings at Fergus Falls, Mimi,
and Newport News, Va, and meas
ure to protect the name and insignia
Of the Red Cross society.
Washington, Jan. 8.-The features Of
the senate session was a speech de-
Hyered by Mr.. Teller of Colorado re-
garding the press reports that the re-
cent efforts to make it appear that
Secretary Gage had rendered his res
ignation as member Of the cabinet
to President Mckinley were a part Of
conspiracy Of the' silver men to dis
rupt the cabinet and create dissension
between the president and his adj
visers. Mr.. Teller branded the publ
cation as an insult to the advocates of
the free coinage Of silver. He was
satisfied that the president and secre-
tary were in full accord upon financial
questions. He attacked the Republic
an party because it was a party adj
vocating the gold standard and ex-
pressed his intention Of doing all in
his power to defeat the party, in 1900
and to drag the present administration
from power because the policy of the
party was, in his opinion, inimical to
the best and highest interests of the
people of the United States.
Mr.. Turner called up the immigra-
ton bill and made a speech in opposi-
ton to the educational requirement..
Senator Allen presented & resolution
declaring that the United States

WORK OF CONGRESS-
Condensed Proceedings of the Ma
ffOnla Law Mill.

Washington, Jan. The presenta-
ton Of replies Of the members Of the
cabinet to the resolutions calling for
information as to the application as TO
the civil service law to the various de-
partments Of the government, together
With the consideration Of the bill es-
tablishing bureau for the twelfth
census, precipitated a sharp civil SER
!, vice debate in the senate. Mr.. Gull
lom of Illinois, the author Of the reso-
luton thought that modification in the
law ought to be made as the authori-
ties had drifted far away from the
original Intention Of the authors of the
civil service law.
Mr.. Allen of Nebraska charged that
the law was openly and daily violated
and said 1t was a hiss and by-word
among the people. Mr.. Cockreil Of
Missouri declared that it was pre-
sumptuous in Secretary Sherman to
make recommendations to congress
that certain positions in his depart
ment should be excepted from the
classified service when the president
had full authority to make the excep-
lions he recommended. He thought an
effort was being made to tie the presi-
dents hands. Mr.. Davis, chairman Of
the committee on foreign relations,
gave notice that he would next Mon
day, and daily thereafter, move that
the senate consider in executive ses-
sion the Hawaiian annexation treaty
until it was finally disposed Of.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE friends and
enemies Of the civil service law ex-
changed broadsides in the house. The
heaviest guns On each side were
brought into action. Mr.. Grosvenor Of
Ohio and Mr.. Johnson of Indiana each
made exhaustive speeches and kept
their respective sides in a constant
furore. The interest in the debate was
much more lively than the day before.
The crowded galleries, which were
plainly in sympathy with the op-
ponents of the law became so very
noisy in their demonstrations Of ap-
prevail at one juncture that the chair
was compelled to call them to order
Mr.. johnson WAS warmly sustained by
the friends Of the law Oh the floor,
but he got very little applause from
the galleries. Mr.. Grosvenor did not
define his attitude IN detail, bat gave
his adhesion to the bill agreed on by
the opponents of the law In caucus
and warned his colleagues that unless
notifications Of the law he and his
friends would by cooperation find a
way to completely destroy it. Mr..
Lloyd Ct Missouri was the only other
speaker. He favored the repeal Of
the law.

IN THE sIOTISE.

washington, Jan. 1.-The civil SER
vice debate began in the house, based
on the item in the legislative, execu-
tive and judicial appropriation bill for
the maintenance of the commission. 1t
promised 70 continue at least until the
end Of the week, with possibility
that it may run longer. But it is gen.
orally admitted on both sides that the
appropriation in the bill will stand, as
the anti-civil service reformers do not
seriously contemplate an attempt to
strike it out. The debate, therefore, is
only preliminary to any programme
which the enemies Of the law may
agree upon. The members Of the
house are divided into three camps on
this question; those who stand by the
law; those who advocate it's entire re-
peal and those who desire it's modifi-
cation. These divisions were apparent
in the debate, the nature of which
was not as stirring as had been antici-
pated Messrs. Moody, Rep, Mass;
Grow, Rep, Pa, and Greene, Pop,
Neb., defended the law: Messrs. Dock
cry, Dem, Mo-; Robb, DEM. Mo-, and
Pearson, Rep, N. c., opposed it out
right while Mr.. Lands, Rep, Ind,
favored a modification Of the law.

BEATEN AT FITCHBURq.
The BrattlebOrO v. VI. c. A. Basket
Ball Team Lost Its First Game, 81 to 1 o.


Ball Team Lost Its First Game, 81 to 10.
The Brattleboro basket ball team sus-
tanned its first defeat of the season on Fri
day night in Fitchburg, Mass, at the
hands of the Y. NJ. c. A, boys of that city,
the score being 81 to 2l. Brattleboro was
at disadvantage, as usual in games away
from home, from the fact that the game
was played in small quarters where the
passing game in which Brattleboro eXcels
was impracticable. The contest was the
18th consecutive victory for Fitchburg,
and is said to have been the most exciting
game seen in that city this season. Brat
tleboro started off at a rafting pace, and
fine throws from field were made by Ar
thur Sanders and Allen. The score was
soon Is to in favor of Brattleboro. In
the last two minutes Fitchburg scored
three times from field and once from foul,
and led at the end of the half u to Is.
Fitchburg played roughly during this
play, and continued the foot ball tactics
in the second half. Fouls were called on
them repeatedly, but the Fitch0urg official
seemed to think that every foul against
Fitchburg should be offset by foul against
Brattleboro, and the result was a total of
Is fouls for FitchbuIg and II for Brattle-
boIo. Brattleboro boys seemed to lose
their accuracy in this peculiar kind of game,
and could not locate the baskets from
field. Sanders from the foul line, how
ever, was tower of strength and brought
the score Is to II at one time. Sanders
was easily the star of the game and his
nine baskets from II fouls is a remarkable
record. Cundiff and Howe did good work
for Brattleboro, while w. Harley and Cush-
ing exceled for Fitchburg.
