HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.

Before the debate the civil service
question was resumed in the House of
Representatives today an Intellectual at
tempt was made to agree upon a time for
the termination of the debate. Monday
evening was suggested by Mr.. Moody in
charge of the bill. but the effort failed
and Mr. Gillette (Mass) took the floor in
support of the law.
He maintained that the argument of MI
Grosvenor and MIR. Landis against the law
were boti, III reality strong arraignments OF
the SPOTS system. He denied that the
scope of the executive order Of May 8, 1886,
was not understood when the St. Louis
platform WIS adopted.
Mr. Gillette commented wittily on the
spectacle of the white-haireG veteran, Gen
eral Grosvenor. leading the young hOtSpurs
of the party in the battle for the spoils,
and said 1t recalled to his mind the words
MacauIay placed in the mouth Of Henry
of Navarro at the battle of 1yry:
Press where you see my white plume
shine
Midst the ranks of war,
And be your oriflamme today the head
OF GrOsyenOr.''
Mr.. Faris Qnd.) spoke i'll opposition to
the law. He declared that the republican
party was not responsible for the civil ser.
vice law.
Mr.. Cummings IN. " announced himself
an implacable enemy of the whole system
of civil service reform.
Roscoe Conkiing, in his opinion, the
greatest senator New York had ever
known. had once spoken, he said, of the
"dreary drivel of SWIVEL service reform. >
He had never appreciated 1t so much as he
had during this debate. Mr.. Cummings
said the hostility to the system had been
steadily growing.
1.-The system is doomed" said he, land
one of the factors in its destruction is Tam
many Hail.

WEDNEsDAY. Feb. 16.
The catastrophe At Havana last night bad an
exceedingly depressing effect upon the stock
market. The possibility that tho dostruc-
t,on Of tho Maine may not have been
entirely accidental aroused apprehension that
resulted in liquidatine sales and also in
ventures for short account. Tho eagerness of
the Street for news, particularly from WASH
inyton, regarding tho Maine episode was un-
usual, and though very few Facts wore OBJ
tnined, the Street came 10 tho conclusion toward
the closo OF business that the reaction In prices
had about run Its course. Tho majority Of
stocks closed lower than yesterday. with
the principal declines In Metropolitan Rail-
way, Manhattan Railway, Northern Pacific pre-
fcrrcd, New York Central. Union Pacific, Sugar
Refining, and in tho less active stocks, CONSOLE
dated Gas, Pullman's Palace Oar. General Eloc-
tric, Illinois Central and Peoples Gas. As mat
Ter OF fnct, the entire list reflected n disposition
10 liouidato speculative holdings, and the same
considerations that influenced tho selling ap-
peared to detor purchases. Still, at the extreme
decline good buying appeared, and this. together
with the covering Of shorts, rallied tho market
in . ntful way.
Tho ease with which prices yielded indicated
that the market was ripe for . reaction and
that the catastrophe at Havana and the sus-
pioiors which 1t aroused simply preoipitated
selling movement that might have
been brought about BY some other cause.
The market ignored An increase Of n
OF / y cent. in q quarterly dividend
on c., q. and Quincy. That stock led the list In
respect to activity aud closed 1lo y cent. lower
than yesterday. Tho indications are that di.
reotors and their friends who knew In advance
Of the contemplated increase in tho dividend
have, Ms usual. taken advantage Of the
information in the stock market. In other
words, tho increase In the dividend has
boon discounted by those whit are usual
ly described 40 insiders. Tho purchase Of
tho subsidized portion of tho Kansas Pacific
systcm by the Reorganization Committee had
no effect upon the speculation in Union Pacific
and allied securities. As q matter Of fact all con-
piderations that would ordinarily affect prices
were outwoighcd by the destruction Of the
steamship Maine and by the possibilities slg-
gested by that disaster. In tho final dealings
tho covering of shorts and moderately confident
buying for long account impaired o fairly firm
tone to the market. Final prices were frao-
tionally above tho lowest recorded. A feature
Of the market was q sudden demand for Oregon
Short Line stock that lifted tho price 5lo points.

The trading in cotton to-day was quiet and in the
main of a local featureless character. The disturb
ing news from Havana and Washington regarding
the Maine disaster in Havana harbor ana uncertainty.
as to the outcome of the affair checked speculation.
and in the absence of stimulating news the ductua-
lions In prices were confined within q narrow range.
