IN THE HOUSE
Grosvenor Uses the Flail on Civil Ser
Vice Straw

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-The House
today promptly resumed the debate on
the Civil Service question and Mr.. Gros-
venor, Of Ohio, took the floor with an
elaborate speech in opposition to the
law. Mr.. Grosvenor disclaimed any
leadership of the Anti-Civil Service re-
form forces, and any purpose to speak
for any officer Of the government, ex-
ecutive, legislative or judicial
"All efforts to entangle me in a collis-
ion with the President" said he, ARE
as so much powder. If I believed that
my relations to the Executive would be
changed or modified because I differ
with him in any representative capac-
ity, 1 would despise him as he would
despise me if 1 faltered in my convic-
tions."
Mr.. Grosvenor said he had watched
with admiration the Presidents public
career and one of his most prominent
characteristics had always been that he
not only did not demand subservience,
but despised a man who sought favors
by sycophancy.
Mr.. Grosvenor proceeded to pay his
respects to the National Civil Service
Reform League and to Carl Schurz, it's
pTeSiueHl. Ills eACOIidtlOH VI TIE ldLteT
was the most scathing that has been
heard on the floor of the House in
months. He denounced unsparingly
those who sought to read out of the Re-
publican party those not believing in the
civil service law. With caustic language
he sketched the political career Of Mr..
Schurz, which he characterized as "the
checkered, spotted, leprous career Of one
who betrayed every party and every
duty to which he was bound, and whose
betrayal should be his only stock in
trade in the arena of politics."
He traced Mr.. .Schurzs political history
and defied anyone to point out spot in
the trail traced, which was not tainted
with political corruption. Yet, he said,
this was the man who with other "polit-
ical demagogues," at Cincinnati, under
the name of the National Civil Service
Reform League, had denounced him and
those who thought with him on the ques-
tion. He read the resolutions adopted
at the Cincinnati meeting, branding
them as infamous beyond description.
Grosvenor denounced George William
Curtis and the high priests of Civil Ser
vice reform, who, he said, had been
traitors to the Republican party, and
argued that as Mr.. Cleveland extended
the civil service system enormously
after the st. Louis platform was adopted,
Republicans were not bound by the plat
form as regards these extensions.

habits Of the cuckoo teemed with wit

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-In the Sen
ate today, Mr.. Allen, of Nebraska, called
up, and the Senate passed, the bill pro-
viding for the holding of congress of
the representatives of different Indian
tribes of the United States, at Omaha. in
1898, and appropriating 100000 therefor.
Some minor amendments to the bill were
adopted.
A bill appropriating sits. 900 for pub
lie building at Fergus Falls, Mimi, was
passed.
The bill to protect the name and in
sigma Of the Red Cross was passed, Mr..
Gray, of Delaware, explaining that Miss
Clara Barton several years ago asked
that the insignia Of the Red Cross So
ciety be protected from those who would
use 1t for commercial or perhaps fraud
ulent purposes. Under treaty entered
into by a majority of the civilized ma
tions of the world, the sign Of the Red
Cross Is known as an insignia of hospital
corps or charitable organizations. Other
nations had protected the insignia of the
society and the United States ought also
to protect it.
The attorney general today sent to the
senate, in compliance with a resolution
of inquiry, a full statement Of the tran
sactions of his office in connection with

According to one of the men arrested

Donahue killed Murphy in self-defense

and called upon United States Marshal
Baldwin to serve 1t and a notice of ap-
peal upon Warden Hale at San Quentin.
1t was claimed by Attorney Deuprey
that this notice acted as stay of pro-
having signed his bill of exceptions
nothing could prevent him from perfect
ing his appeal thereon. Marshal Bald
win at first demurred to being pressed
into service, but acting upon the advice
of the United States attorney he ac-
companied Attorney Deuprey to San
Quentin and served the documents upon
Warden Hale. That official at once re-
ferred the matter to the state attorney
general, who advised him that the ac-
ceptance of service of such documents
as had been submitted to him did not
act as stay of execution and there was
no legal reason why he should not pro-
ceed with the execution.
Returning to this city Attorney Deu-
prey at once repaired to the United
States circuit court in order if possible
to perfect his appeal; but acting under
the instructions issued by both federal
judges yesterday in passing upon the
question of Durrant's alleged right to
appeal, the clerk refused to accept the
necessary notice of appeal, and the at
torney was compelled to retire without
having gained the point for which he
had been striving all day.
APPEALS TO BUDD
Governor Budd deferred his decision
upon the appeal for executive clemency
which had been submitted to him yes
terday until late hour this afternoon,
in the belief that Durrant's attorneys
would call upon him, but either they
were too busy to do so or considered 1t
waste of time, for they failed to appear.
Meantime Durrant's parents announced
their determination to call upon the
governor for the purpose of making a
final appeal for their sons life, but the
governor absolutely refused to see them,
and they then left the city for San
Quentin, so that they might spend the
night with their son and bid him fare
well.

varsity crew worked in the eight-oar shell
late this forenoon in the sheltered water of
Johnson's cove. Out on the river the wind
kicked up quite a sea. Coach Cook has
informed his men that there will be no
more pair oar work this year. The fresh
man crew were given sail today. and to-
morrow they will go to New Haven for ex-
aminations
Harvard's morning practice was greatly
abbreviated for two reasons Sixteen men
of the varsity and freshman squads had
examinations, and Coach Lehman was alb
sent. Both crews took short walks before
breakfast and at 9:30 the varsity launched
their she'll and rowed up and down the
river in front of the quarters for half an
hour.
The Cornellian crews did not get out on
the river until along toward noon. The
champions experienced no particular diff
Guilty in adapting themselves to the rough
tide waters of the Thames, and their water
manship is excellent. Mr.. Courtney has cut
out a vast amount of work for his men for
today and tomorrow.

Vessels must be in position half an hour

FEW HITS, MANY ERRORS.
Senators Relnpsed Into Old Ways mt
Boston Saturday.

The Senators lost the game at Boston
Saturday because they made few hits and
many errors. Cy Swain pitched and play
ed against two clubs, the champions and
his own. and found the combination much
more than he could overcome. Lewis occu-
pied the rubber for the home people and
was hit safely but four times, Bettman
securing two of the safeties and Mcclure
who played first, and Wrigley, one each.
Swain pitched a good, steady game, Civ
ing one base on balls and while he was
hit for twelve safeties, several of them
went safe because of the miserable sup
port he received. Jack Doyle went into
the game, playing second for ReitZ, who
will be out of the game for several days
because of split hand, suffered in sliding
to the home plate in Fridays game. Most
of the twelve runs scored by the Boston
men were the result of the seven errors
charged up against the visitors.
No scoring was done by either side until
the third inning, when the Senators got
man across the plate and the champions
got four more than that. With two out,
Selbach received pass, went to second
when Lewis failed to hold Tenney's re-
turn of his throw. and to third on Gett-
mans single. on Gettman's try for second
Bergen threw to third to catch Selbaeh.
and when the latter started for home Col
scored. Meantime Gettman had reached
third, and when Umpire Andrews declared
Doyle out at first there was quite a kick
on the part of the Washington manager
1t being unsuccessful, of course. Wrigley's
tumble of Bergen's grounder put the Bos-
ton catcher on first. Lewis sent a fly to
Selbach. Stivetts singled to left and base
on balls to Tenny filled the bases. Longs
single TO left scored Bergen and Stivetts,
and when Myers threw Duffy's bounder
high to Doyle not only was double play
missed, but Tenny scored. A double steal
and Collins hit over Myers head scored
Long and Duffy.
The Senators scored run In the seventh
inning on Wrigleys double back of short. an
out and wild pitch. They also got one in
the next inning on Duffy's mufr of Selbachs
fly, Gettman's double to right and Ander
sons fly to Stivetts. In the fifth inning the
champions scored twice, and made five
runs in the eighth on combination of err
rors ana hlts. Score-Boston, T.; Washing
ton, 3.
