HOUSE DISCUSSES CIVIL SERVICE.
Mr.. Oversteet Introduces Bill for Carry
Ing Out the Monetary Commissions
Plan for Currency Ref0rm-Dele-
gate Callahan's Bill

WASHINGTON, Jan. while the sem
ate was in session two hours yesterday,
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 repre-
sentatives of the Indian tribes of the
United States to be held at Omaha,
Neb., during the progress OF the inter-
national 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 insignia of the
Red Cross society.
THE HOUSE,
WASHINGTON, Jan. THE friends
and enemies of the civil service law
exchanged broadsides IN the house
yesterday. The heaviest guns on each
side were brought into action. Mr..
Grosvenor, of Ohio, and Mr.. johnson,
of Indiana, each made exhaustive
speeches and kept their respective
sides in constant furore. The inter-
est in the debate was much more lively
than the day before. The crowded gal
leries, which were plainly in sympathy
with the opponents of the law, became
so noisy in their demonstrations of APP
proval at one juncture that the chair
was compelled to call them to order Mr..
johnson was warmly sustained by the
friends of the law on the floor, but he
got little applause from the galleries.
Mr. Grosvenor did not define his atti-
tude in detail, but gave his adhesion
to the bill agreed on by the opponents
of the law in caucus Wednesday night,
and warned his colleagues that unless
notifications of the law were made he
and his friends would, by co-opera-
ton, find way completely to destroy
it. Mr.. Lloyd, of Missouri, was the
only other speaker. lie favored the
repeal of the law.
Mr.. Overstreet, of Indiana, intro
duced comprehensive bill for carry
ing out the plan of the monetary COM
mission for the reform of the currency.
The bill was referred by Speaker Reed
to the committee on banking, and
Chairman Walker has arranged to give
early hearings to Senator Edmunds,
the chairman Of the commission, and
perhaps to other members. The bill
contains Al sections, and embodies in
legislative form every feature of the
recommendation of the commission.
The earlier portion, relating to the
maintenance of the gold standard, the
creation of the bureau of issue and re-
demption and the gradual retirement
of the legal tender notes are embodied
in the bill in almost the same language
as in the report.
Delegate Callahan, of Oklahoma, in
troduced bill to extend the jurisdic-
diction of Oklahoma over the Indian

SPAIN IS WEAKENING
May Accept the Good Offices OF
Uncle Sam in Cuba.
SECRET NEGOTIATIONS IN PROGRESS.
The Spanish Government Wants the United
States to Propose to the Insurgents
an Armistice Pending Peace
Negotiations.

CHICAGO, Jan. IA speclal W 'no
Tribune from Washington says:
Snain is considering formal request to the
United States to use its good offices to stop
the fighting in Cuba limitations have been
received nj the state department that the Sa-
pasta government had become convinced that
the only way to save Cuba was to accept the
often pronered good Offices Of the United States
Canoyas repeatedly replied to President Cleve-
land declining these good offices, and Sagasta
did the same last November Now the prime
minister has become completely disheartened
over the evident failure of autonomy.
All efforts Of Spain to bring the subordinates
OF Gomez to surrender on the basis Of home
rule have proven futile. Blanco has complete
" failed in his efforts to open up communion
ton with the insurgents, and Pando has like
wise been defeated in the field The Spanish
minister now feels that the only thing left is
to accept the good offices OF Uncle Sam, in spite
of the humiliation involved They hesitate
only because they feel that public announce
ment Of this fact would result in revolution
in Spain.
Secret negotiations with the state DEPART
ment are now actually in progress. The Span
ish government has lost the confidence OF the
loyalists in Cuba, and it recognizes the fact
that the island itself is lost entirely unless this
country will, at this late day, negotiate with
the insurgents for some basis OF peace. The
Spanish propose that the United States should
propose to the insurgents an actual armistice,
pending negotiations for peace on the basis Of
American guarantees of the integrity Of home
rule, or even Of independence, on money con-
sideration,
