THE DEBATE RENEWED.
Both Houses Of Congress Take Up the
Civil Service Question.


Washington, Jan. THE presenta-
ton Of replies OF the members Of the
cabinet to the resolution calling for in
formation as to the application of the
civil service law to the various depart
ments, together with the consideration
Of the bill establishing a bureau for the
18th census, precipitated a sharp civil
service debate in the senate today.
Cullom Of Illinois, the author Of the
resolution. thought that modification Of
the law ought to be made, as the
authorities have drifted far away from
the original intention Of the authors OF
the civil service law. Allen charged
that the law was openly and daily vio-
lated, and said 1t was hiss and by
word among the people. Cockrell de-
calred it was presumptuous in Secretary
Sherman to make recommendations to
congress that certain positions in his
department should be excepted from
the classified service when the presi-
dent had full authority to make the ex-
ceptions he recommended. He thought
an effort was being made to tie the
presidents hands. Davis, chairman of
the committee on foreign relations, gave
notice that he would next Monday and
daily thereafter move that the senate
consider in executive session the Ha-
waiian annexation treaty until it was
disposed OF finally.
The civil service debate began in the
house today, based on the item in the
legislative, executive and judicial APP
preparation bill for the maintainance
OF the commission. 1t promises to con-
tinue at least until the end Of this
week. with possibility that it may
run longer. But it is generally ad-
mitted on both sides that the appropria-
tion in the bill will stand, as the anti
civil service reformers do not seriously
contemplate an attempt to strike it out.
The debate, therefore, is only prelimin-
asy to any programme which the en-
emies 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 ad-
vocate its entire repeal, and those who
desire its modification. These divi-
sions were apparent in the debate to-
day, the nature of which was not as
stirring as has been anticipated. Moody,
Grow and Green defended the law;
Robb, Dockery and Pearson opposed it
outright, while Landis favored modi-
fcation of the law.
