Washington, Jan. 6.-The first thing
the senate did upon reconvening after
the holiday recess was to plunge into
a lively debate on the civil service
system. Mr.. Teller (silver rep, COLI
said The law was wise measure. Mr..
Cullom rep, I'D thought it should
be modified In response to a senate
resolution adopted several weeks a
requesting information as to the appli-
cation and operation of the law
various departments, answers were
received from the cabinet members
and laid before the senate. The con-
census Of opinion of these heads of
departments was that some modifica-
ton of the law should be made.
Washington, Jan. 6.-The civil SER
vice debate has begun in the house
based on the item in the legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation
bill for the maintenance of the COM
mission, 1t promises to continue at
least a week. But it is generally ad-
mitted on both sides that the appropri-
alton in the bill will stand, as the anti
civil service reformers do not seriously
contemplate an attempt to strike it out.
The debate was general, but the speech
that made the hit was by Mr.. lands
(rep., lnd) who urged material modi-
tications in the law.

although Americans had been support

To sum up the pros and cons Of the
situation, we may cite as
Against the Market; ~ The uncer-
tainty as to the immediate future of
the price OF tobacco, also sugar, both
being leaders OF the market on the up
as well as the down side. Recently
their influence has been on the latter.
side. It Is pretty sure that there will.
not be pronounced up movement in
the market until these two important
properties reverse their present action.
(2). The holding back OF wheat by the
farmers deprlving the roads Of immedi-
ate very large earnings. (3.J The
state elections in November. ~ The
decision of the supreme court on the
Missouri Trans-continental Traffic AS
ISOLATION case, liable to be handed down
next Monday or any Monday there
after. (5.) The low price OF wheat and
cotton as compared with last year.
AS faVoring the Market: % Good
railroad earnings Notwithstanding the
holding back OF wheat by the farmers.
e. The growing ease OF money. 90
The ability to draw gold from the other
side in large amounts when needed, as
It is there now TO our credit as repre-
scnted by the large trnde balance in
our favor, a. The enthusiastic and
proud feeling OF the American people
as result OF our recent war. e. The
continued large exports and the dimin-
ished imports. CO. Every indication
Of long continuance OF prosperity re-
sulting in the development Of our vast
territory and uneQualled resources, in
creasing thereby to a prodlglous eX-
tent the wealth Of the nation.

usually characteristic Of the fail sea-

heir summer recreation finding no new
conditions or tendencies OF striking Inn
rortance, but rather "a state of reaction
from more exciting conditions occur

no evidence OF general disposition to

rather a predominant feeling of lndlt-

This lack OF interest Is also encouraged
by the recent cutting Of rates by the
