The full PROCEEDINGS or BOTH
HOUSE AND SENATE.
The Friends and Eaemles Of the cisii
Service Exchange Bfoadsisfe. in the
House--K~port Of Secretary Cages In
tended Resignation Discussed.


WEDNESDAY. The presentation OF
replies Of the members Of the cabinet
TO the resolution calling for informa-
tion as to the application OF the civil
service law to the various departments
Of tie government. together with the
consideration OF the bill establishing a
bureau for the twelfth caucus, precipi-
tated sharp service debate in the Sem
ate today. Mr.. CnIlum tIl's.), the
author Of the resolution. thought that
notifications in the law ought to be
made, as the authorities had drifted far
away from the original intention of
the civil service law. At $40 p. m.
the Senate went into executive session
and soon after adjourned.
THURSDAY. While the Senate was
in session two bours today, practically
no business was transacted beyond the
passage Of a few bills. Among the
measures which received favorable
consideration were the bills providing
for congress Of the representatives Of
the Indian tribes Of the United States,
10 be held at Omaha during the prog
ress OF the international exposition this
year; bills providing for the erection of
public buildings at Fergus Falls,
Mimi. and Newport News. Va, and
measure to protect the name and in
sigma Of the Red Gross society. At 2
o'clock the Senate adjourned until to-
morrow.
FRIDAY. The feature of the Senate
session was a speech delivered by Mr..
Teller, Of Colorado, regarding press
reports that the recent efforts to make
it appear that Secretary Gage had ten
dered his resignation as a member of
the cabinet to President Mckinley was
a part Of conspiracy of the silver
men to disrupt the cabinet and create
dissension between the president and
his advisers. Mr.. Teller branded the
publication as an insult to the advo-
Gates of the free coinage Of silver. He
was satisfied that the President and
Secretary Gage were in full accord
upon the financial question. He at
tackled the Republican, because it was
party advocating the gold standard
and expressed his intention OF doing
ell in his power to defeat the party in
1900, and to drag the present adminis-
tration from power, because the policy
Of the party was, in his opinion, inim-
ical to the best interests Of the people
of the United States. The Senate
then went into executive session, and
at 3:l5 adjourned until Monday.

HOUSE.

"WEDNESDAY. The civil service de-
bate began in the House today, based
on the item in the Legislative, execu-
tive and judicial appropriation bill for
the maintenance of the commission. 1t
promises to continue at least until the
end OF this week, with possibility
that it may run longer. But it is
generally admitted on both sides that
the appropriation in the bill will stand,
as the anti-ciyil service reformers do
not seriously contemplate an attempt
to strike it out. The debate therefore
is only preliminary to any progra mme
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 its entire re-
peal and those who desire its modifca-
tion. These divisions we're apparent
in the debate today, the nature of
which was not as stirring as had been
anticipated. At 4:45 p. M. the House
adjourned.
THURSDAY. The friends and enemies
OF the civil service law exchanged broad
sides in the house to-day. The heaviest
guns on both sides we're brought into
action. Mr.. Grosvenor, OF Ohio, and
Mr.. johnson, of Indiana, each made
exhausting speeches and kept their
respective sides in constant Juror. Mr..
Grosvenor's description Of the habits OF
the cuckoo" teemed with wit and kept
the house in roar. Mr.. Grosvenor in
replying to the charge made against
himself and his colleagues that they
were betraying the Republican party,
adverted to what he called the list OF
traitors among the high priests Of civil
service reform, at the head of which he
placed George William Curtis, who
abandoned the Republican party. te
show that the present position occupied
by the majority of the house was not
inconsistent with these declarations.
"For give the members of the civil
service committee notice." said he,
THAT we have majority on this floor
and you cannot strangle majority in
the American congress" (Applsuse. J
Mr.. johnson. Republican. of Indiana,
one of the ardent defenders OF the law,
followed Mr.. Grosvenor with an ex-
tended argument in support Of the
merit system. he took occasion to
review the history of the civil service,
pointing out that previous to the time
OF jackson the spoils system did not
exist. Men we're appointed to office
for fitness. He repudiated the state
ments that Lincoln and Grant beliey cd
in the spoils system. Mr.. johnson con-
cluded with an eloquent appeal to Pres
ident Mckinley to stand by the princi-
pie upon the perpetuity of which the
permanence of our institutions depend
ed. At 4:50 p. m. the house adjourned.
SATURDAY. The house devoted two
hours Of the session today to the civil
service debate, during which Messrs.
Corliss, Republican. OF Michigan; Hep
burn, of Iowa. and Clarke, Republi-
can, Of New Hampshire, addressed the
House in opposition to the law as it
now stands The remainder Of the
session was consumed by the friends Of
the late Representative Wright OF

DIR. B. f. Passmore, of Canton, edi,
tor OF the Canton Times, from whom
the charges Of corruption and bribery
against the Mississippi Legislature orig
mated, was summoned Saturday to APP
pear before special committee Of the
legislature. In conversation with a
correspondent, DIR. Passmore said that
che would make clean breast OF the
whole matter, and that he is prompt
cd BY the purest motives and that he
has no selfish ends to serve. The doc
tor said he was perfectly aware Of the
gravity OF the charges. and he would
not have been constrained to have
made them had he not been prepared
to meet the issue. DIR. Passmore is
very cautious man in conversation, and
one must be impressed with his sin
cerity OF purpose in the whole matter

A deplorable tragedy occurred IL the
outskirts OF Memphis, Friday afternoon.
DIR. Shep A. Rogers, professor OF anat-
omy at the Memphis Medical College,
ex-president Of the board Of health, and
one of the most prominent physicians
of Memphis, was shot by Mrs. Mary
Sandbrink, widow. After shooting Dir.
Rogers, the woman turned the revolver
to her breast and sent bullet crashing
through her heart The cause Of the
tragedy is veiled in deepest mystery.
The weapon used by Mrs. Sandbrink
was 41-calibre Colts revolver. The
pistol was donble-action one, but was
old and rusty. The weapon belonged
to the woman, being identified By her
relatives when ii was shown to them.
The cause of the unfortunate affair is
mystery. There is no doubt but that
the woman committed the deed. Before
lapsing into Inconsistencies. in fact,
as soon as he was seen bg those who
went to his aid, DR.. Rogers blamed her
for the deed. Every detail, that can bs
gathered in connection with the traga-
dy substantiates DR.. Rogers in his state
ment. The physician's wound also indi-
Gates this to be the correct supposition.

The Madison county local option
election case came up before the
supreme court OF the State on Monday,
January IL. This case has been hang
ing fire for eighteen months, and now
that the end is near, public interest is
on high pitch. Ii will be remembered
that at the November, 1896, term Of
the circuit court Judge Robert Powell
rendered decision declaring the action
of the board Of supervisors in calling a
local option election illegal, on the
ground that the signatures to the petit
tions we're not genuine, because they
bad not been sworn to. The board of
supervisors, through their attorney,
Judge J.. b. Chrisman, appealed from
this decision. The question upon which
the whole matter rests is, whether the
board of supervisors committed an error
in ordering the election, and whether,
after it was ordered, no injunction hay-
ing been sued ont or appeal taken, with
a good majority in favor Of mo sale, =
the verdict Of the people can now be
set aside aad the election be defeated
because OF some supposed irregnlarity
in the action OF the board in ordering
the election. There are other points
involved of minor importance. The
board Of supervisors will be represented
by their attorney, Judge ]. B. Chris
man, and Judge +. L. Cooper, of Mem
phis; the ants will be represented by
W. ii. Powell and F b. Pratt, Of Can.
ton, and Judge j. A. 7, Campbell, Of
Jackson. With this brilliant array OF
legal talent. the battle for supremacy
will be hard fought. In the meantime,
the saloons OF Canton are running in
full blast, having never closed theil
doors Both sides are confident the
decision will be in their favor. In case
OF reversal, just what action will be
taken is not known.
