THE HOUSE CONQUERED.
Urgent Deficiency Bill Put Through
After a Fight.


The proceedings in the House yesterday
failed to enlist the interest of even
small proportion of the members. They
were more intent upon discussing the
probable location of the American and
Spanish fleets and of specializing as to
when big naval battle would take place
than upon discussing the unimportant
measures brought up..
On mouon of Mr.. Cannon the report of
the deficiency bill, with the Senate amend
ments, was taken up. He moved to con-
cur in the Senate amendments. There
was no opposition, sure as TO one amend
ment. That authorized the immediate
employment of limited number of clerks
in the Treasury Department. made neces-
sary by the exigency of the war.
The point was made that under the bill
these clerks would be appointed outside
the civil service law.
Mr.. Cannon said the civil service had
been ignored because these clerks were
needed at once and that it would take
time to obtain them under civil service
rules.
Mr. Underwood and others contended
that there was no excuse for ignoring the
law; that clerks could be obtained from
the eligible lists without any delay
Mr.. Hepburn offered an amendment di-
recting that the emergency clerks au-
thoriZed should not be included in the
classified service.
Mr.. Moody of Massachusetts, made the
point of order that the amendment was
out of order in that it would change ex-
listing laws. He said the civil service
law directed that all Government clerks
should be classified and the amendment
proposed to annul that and thus virtual
| ly repeal the law. The Speaker sus-
| tanned the point.
| Gen. Grosvenor protested against the
| passage of any bill carrying with 1t the
service law. Unless that Interpretation
were disclaimed. he would vote against

marked Mr.. Cannon blowing one OF his
