cent House Bill.
FIVE STATES BENEFITED
UNDER THE OPERATIONS OF
THE CAREY ACT.
The Land Office Recommends That
the Carey Law Be So Amended AS
to Extend More Satisfactory
Guaranty to Capital-Topics at the
Capital.

Washington, Jan. Commissioners
Hermann. o. the general land Office,
has prepared an adverse report on the
house bill providing for the granting
TO the respective states of all arid lands
within their areas. upon condition that
the land shall be reclaimed for agri-
cultural purposes by the states. The
report sets forth that under the Carey
act of 1894. congress made grants to
the states wherein arid lands are sit
uated, not exceeding 100000 acres to
each. and up to this time but few OF
the states have awaited themselves to
any extent OF the benefits of the law
The states which have taken limited
acres are:
Wyoming, 99.O97 acres: Montana, TO-,
632 acres: Idaho, $4,000 acres; Utah,
221 ,143, and Washington S5,454 acres.
In place of the bill proposed, the COM
missioner expresses the opinion that the
Carey law be so amended as to extend
a more satisfactory guaranty to cap
ital as inducement to invest in the re-
clamation of arid lands under the law,

large the quantity of lands, which can

THE CIVIL SERVICE DEBATE,
SO-CALLED MERIT SYSTEM
DRESSED DOWN.
"Any Old Thing" Is Better Than the
Present Law, Says Republican
Clarke-Hepburne' Structures.

Washington. Jan. 8.-The civil service
debate was maintained in the house today
until . D. m. The remainder of the ses-
sion. under a special order. was devoted
to eulogizinz the memory sof the late
Representative Wright of Massachusetts,.
Saturday, Jan. 15 was set aside for pay
ing tribute to the memory of the late
Representative Miilikin, of Maine.
Mr. CcrlisS (Rep., 7Aich.) was the first
speaker today lie favored radical raodi-
fications OF the law. He thought that the
heads of departments were clothed with
power OF appointing their subordlnates-
To that extent he thought the law, If
tested, would be unconstitutional. He
believed the right of removal should be
restored and tenure of office limited.
Mr.. Hepburne (Rep., Iowa. spoke for an
hour against what he termed the popular
impression of the so-called merit system.
The public, he argued, had been utterly
misled by the high-sounding titles re-
ferred to. In some things the old system,
at its worst, was superior to the new.
DARK METHODS.
My colleagues in this house., said he,
know the qualifications of their constit-
uents. and in the selection OF candidates
for office have everything at stake be-
IeVe that there Is greater PROBABILITY OF
probity of action, wisdom in selection and
Deneficent result in the old system than IN
this darkened Subterranean method to

power of removal should be lodged in the
same hands, and should be unlimited. CA
mad burst of applause from the galleries
and the fioor) He insisted that political
workers were entitled TO and should be
accorded recognition If there were TO be
no rewards for the workers. the workers
in the future would be more and more
loyal to rich contributors instead OF TO
their partisan or their country. If the
present system continued. the infiuelsce of
rich men in politics would grow steadily.
Mr.. Hepburn said he knew his frank ex-
DreSsions would earn criticism for him,
and it would probably be said that he
placed himself on a loot political plane,
but these were his convictions, and he
would utter them.
Mr.. Clarke (Rep., n. HI closed the de-
bate for the day with some remarks in
favor of modifying the law. He would
not care to specify the notifications he
would make He was unwilling to leave
that to the civil service commission. But
any old thing was better than the pres
ent law. Gaughter.)
At o'clock the debate was devoted to
tributes to the life and public service of
the late Representative Wright of Mas
sachusetts.
Those who paid tribute to the deceased
colleague were MeSSrS- Lawrence. (Rep.,
Mass.), Powers CRep.. VT, Swanson
Dem, Va.), Walker (Rep., Mass.), Nc
Call (Rep., Mass-), Northway (Rep.. o.,
Knox (Rep., Mass.), and Gillette (Rep.,
Mass.)
Al 5 o'clock the house adjourned.

THE TURK is SLOW.
Mckinley Urged to Adopt Vigor-
o1,s Policy Tow ards the Porte.

Gus Policy Tow ards the Horte.
washington, Jan. S.-Ex-Secretary
Foster called at the White House to-
day, in company with a delegation of
New York Republicans, to talk with
the president over the present state OF
negotiations with Turkey. Among the
callers were Everett p. Wheeler, eX-
Representative S. w. Jones and w. e.
Dodge. The delegation represented TO
the president that, Notwithstanding
the urgent instructions given Minister
Angel when he left Washington for
his post at Constantinople, and the
minister's efforts to advance the nego-
tiations initiated by his predecessor,
Mr.. Terrell, practically little has been
accomplished towards a settlement of
the claims of the American mission and
educational societies, whose properties
were destroyed during the Armenian
troubles. They urged a strengthening
of the minister's hands by the presi-
dent, and the adoption of a more Wig
orous policy towards Turkey. Incl
dentally there was mention of the ru-
mored exchange of posts between Min
lister Angel and Mr.. Bryan, who has
been nominated as United States min
lister to China. but it is said that there
is no disposition on the part of the
president to sanction any such ar
rangement.

THE JUDGE USED HIS FISTS
PUGLISTIC ENCOUNTER IN A
CALIFORNIA COURT.
An Attorney Fined For Contempt,
Wouldn't Shut Up; So the Court
Left the Bench and Biffed Him.

Susanville, Cal, Jan. S.-The court
room of the Lassen county superior
court was this afternoon the scene of
an extraordinary alteration between a
Judge on the bench and an attorney at
the bar. The affair was marked by an
interchange of offensive epithets, and
concluded with a personal collision, in
which blows were exchanged by the
two unusual combatants.
For some time relations have been
strained between Superior Judge F. A.
KELLEY. and Attorney E. V. Spencer. In
a recent case Spencer had filed an af-
fidavit, charging improper conduct on
the part of Judge Kelley, in allowing
his (Spencer's) opposing counsel to dis
cuss the merits of the case in chambers
after it's submission. Spencer, this al
ternoon, took strong exception to a
ruling by the court. Several ironical
remarks passed, and then Judge Kelley
fined Spencer $50 for contempt. In
stead of stopping the wrangie, this
made matters worse, Spencer denounc-
ing the court to his face, and the court
retorting with the unqualified state
ment that Spencer waSsa falsifier. Not
content with branding the attorney as
a liar, Judge Kelley followed it up by
leaving the bench and striking Spen-
Ger. Spencer attempted to strike back,
but Deputy Sheriff Martin interfered,
and the judge returned to his seat on
the bench. Spencer's temper, not at
all soothed by the blow he received,
stood at the bar of the court, applying
to the judge all the offensive epithets
suggested by his wrathful state. The
court then ordered the deputy sheriff
to remove Attorney Spencer. This or
1aY. carried OIft b1lf Ia oolIrt af
forwards modified the instructions and
allowed Spencer to return. The hearing
of the case before the court was then
resumed.

Case OF Michael Green Undergoing
Mexican Inquiry.

Chicago, Jan. S.-A special to the
Times Herald from Washington says:
1.-The Mexican authorities are about
to give some satisfaction for the death
of Michael Green, an erstwhile resi-
dent of Ohio who was imprisoned and
sentenced without trial. He died re-
Gently from hard labor and exposure.
-'On June last Green was arrested in
the City of Mexico on some unknown
charge, and before he could commune
cate with the American minister, the
officials sent him to the convict farm
known as San Cristobal Rancho. Green
was at once put to hard labor which
was beyond his strength and endur-
ance, and in a short time he died.
The victim formerly resided in JEFF
ferson county, Ohio, where two of his
brothers are now living. The diplo-
matte correspondence over the matter
has been protracted.

ALASKA LEGISLATION.
Indications of Allowing a Delegate
to Congress.

Washington, Jan. S.-Senators Thurs
ton, Carter and White, constituting the
committee on Alaska of the senate COM
mittee on territories, held a 'rolonged
session today. They practically decided
to. recommend that the territory be
given three judges instead of one, as
at present. and that the judges be au-
thorized to appoint United States COM
missioners, this power now being vest
ed in the president They discussed
the advisability Of allowing the terri
tory a delegate in congress, and while
they did not decide to recommend this
course, they considered it with more
favor than heretofore. There is great
pressure for this concession. The prin-
cipal objection urged against it is the
difficulty of getting convenient polling
places.
