 luton Adopted.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The military acade- my appropriation bin was reported to the house today. The anti-civil service re- formers won a slighb victory when MT. Perkins (rep.) of Iowa, presented reso- lution for printing the hearings of the civil service committee.
 Mir. Grosvenor antagonized the reeo- tion He said the hearings had taken an ex-parte turn and he desired to submit some facts in refutation of certain state merhs before the hearings were printed. MT. Perkins. however, refused to withdraw the resolution until the house by vote of 55 to 90 had refused the previous ques- ton.
 He then yielded.

 Then at 12:90 p. m- the house went into committee of the whole and resumed con- sideration of the District of Columbia ap- propriaton bill which was begun on Sat- urday.
 At o'clock the debate drifted into poli- tics. MT. Simpson pop.) of Kansas, at tempted to show from clippings from Maine papers that there had been no re- turn of prosperity in the lumber industry in that state. He also aihtacked New Jer- sey as the home of the trusts.
 MT. Dingley in reply declared that the Maine papers were full of evidences of the fmprovement in the lumber industry. Ihe clippings quoted was the exception. It was he said, another proof that the gentlemen on the other side could see the speck on the barn door, but could not see the door,
 Democratic Trusts
 MT. Pitney, (rep.) of New Jersey, de- fended his state. He declared New Jersey hay been trust-ridden because for years 1t had been under democratic domination. The democratic legislature had knocked down legislation to the highest bidder. But at last, said Mr. Pitney, the wise, pa- triotic people of New Jersey had risen in their might and swept the democrats from power.
 MT. Adams, (rep) of Pennsylvania. de- clared that the report of the factory in- spector of Pennsylvania showed H5,OoO more persons were employed in the facto- ries now than at this time last year.
 MT. Mahany, (rep.) of New York, pre- sented to the house a petition of 1000 voters in opposition to the Lodge immi- grafton bill. He made an impassoned speech against the tolerance of those who desired to close the gates to immigration. and when MT. W. A. Stone, (rep) of Penn sylvania, interrupted him, he turned upon the Pennsylvanian and denounced him as one who desired to precipitate race ques- tion, as one who had attacked the Irish, the Germans, the Poles and every other nationality. I commend you, he shout ed. ito the voters of Pennsylvania as one whose Americanism cannot stand the test"
 'Is the sergeant-at-arms present? was the only comment of MT. Stone when Ma hany concluded.
 At 4:4O p. m. the house adjourned.
