sENATEssHARP DEBATE.

Washington. Jan. 6.-The presentation
az replies OF the members of the cabinet
TO the resolution calling for information
as to the application of the civil service
law TO the various departments Of the
government. together With the consider
alton OF the bill establishing bureau for
the twelfth census, precipitated a sharp
debate in the senate.
Mr.. Cull0m. the author Of the resolu-
tion, thought that a modification in the
law ought 10 be made. as the authors
had drifted far away from the original
Intention Of the authors OF the civil SER
vice law.
Mr.. Allen (Neb.) charged that the law
was openly and daily violated, and said
II was a hiss and by-word among the
people.

WASIIINGToN'S ADVICE.

New York, Jan 6.-Secretary OF the
Navy John -. Long. when asked IL the
Chinese complications would render il
necessary to have the United States
more fully represented in those waters,
said: NO, | do not think we will re-
quire any more Of our vessels over there
We always keep pretty good fleet Of
ships in those waters, and do not think
we will want any more"
Referring 10 Senator Teller's declara-
tion that this country should interfere
TO prevent the dismemberment of China,
Secretary Long said: "As far as the COM
plication in those foreign countries Is
concerned we ought 10 follow the advice
OF George .hingtnn." !"

ANTI I-REFoRMERs PLAN.
Appointments For Five Years and Power
-cf- -Iiemnxal Regulated


-cf Hemoxal Re2ulated-
Washington. Jan. 6-The bill for the
reform Of the civil service law which has
been drafted by a special committee Of
Rep, +T!ican members of the house op-
posed TO the system in its present form
makes sweeping changes in the present
system the most important OF which is
the establishment OF a five-year tenure
of office for those government employees
who are brought within the terms of the
bill.
The measure limits the application OF
the civil service system TO the depart
ments in Washington and To localities
where the total number Of employees ex-
ceeds %. All appointees are commits
stoned for five years. with the power
of removal clearly regulated and vested
in the appointing power. 1t is provided.
however, that no removal shall be made
for political or religious causes. and in
case of removal the causes ehasl be speci-
fed and the papers made a record of the
office.
All persons now I'm the public service
are to terminate their service five years
from the time that the act takes effect
Inc measure recognizes the general
eligibility OF these persons for reap
pointment. 1t includes in the civil SER
vice postal clerks and letter carriers in
Offices having over 10 employees, exclusive
OF subordlnates. 1t limits the civil ser
vice regulations TO clerks whose COM
pensation is from 5000 to $500 per year.
ana includes as clerks. copyists, COM
puters, counters and craftsmen.
IL is pointed out that the essential idea
of the foregoing bill is TO take out Of the
civil service all responsible and important
offices, limiting it only TO clerks i'm Wash
ington and certain large cities. and I'm
these cases fixing a tenure of office Of
five years.
The members OF the special committee
framing the bill are well pleased with
their iabors, saying that the original
purpose OF the civil service has been re-
talned and mat its radical expansions
have been - c off.

A gentleman who has resided on

he was told that he could not file

the Government, He was quite
willing to do this, but when he APP
piled at the land office here for
dsnization blanks, he was told that
it was useless for him to try az
others had made application and
had been refused. Americans, how
ever, could get theirs without diff

Upon calling at the land Office
reporter for the Herald confirmed
the statement. Clerk LYMAN stated
that a number OF applications for
letters OF denization from British
subjects residing here had been sent
down to Honolulu, but they had all
been returned. He had declined to

OF Germany and Prussia, but it is a fact
that either of the latter is better known
to Americans than the emblem with which
our own country recognizes valor. PSF
haps one reason for this is that we are not
in the habit of paying much attention TO
medals and decorations in this country.
Another may be that we have sometimes
questioned the manner in which these
medals have been awarded in times past.
Occasionally there has been q suspicion of
the presence of a political pull in these
awards.
Yet in spite of the drawbacks to its
reputation which the delay in awarding 1t
and the way in which some of its wearers
have acquired it cause the medal of honor is
an honorable decoration mi has been won
honorably by most of those who have it.
Most of them won it for such feats as cap
turing battlefags, though one soldier got it
because he was On the guard of honor over
Lincoln's coffin. The Twenty-seventh
Maine regiment received the medal as a
whole. Its time was up, and it volun-
teered to remain and take part in the bat
tie OF Gettysburg. For this and its BRAY
cry at the fight every survivor received
the medal.

in a few feet of the one that seeks her
without either knowing of the close prox-
imjtyf Warfare under such q state OF
things would seem to be almost an impos-
sibility, but some think the days of ocean
fighting will not die with the oonstruc-
ton OF submarine nayies.
One feature of submarine encounters
horrible to contemplate is that no linking
Of tho fate that befell the boats would ever
como to tho surface in the event of an en-
counter proving fatal. Beneath the surface
of the water the hostile submarine craft
would fight it out with only the fishes as
witnesses of the duel, and should both be
blown up, as will be not unlikely where
tho weapons are SO destructive and SO
easily used, the boats will sink to the bot
tom without a ripple having appeared
above to inform the world of the fate of
the fighters. a submarine boats crew
will say goodby to friends with the knowl-
edge that they may never be beard of
again after they dive beneath the waves
ON a hostile errand.
1t is difficult to imagine q more terrible
encounter than this one. There will be
none of the noise and grandeur of a battle
under the conditions Of a naval fight on
the surface Of the ocean. The crews of the
submarine boats, shut in a Theoretically
sealed case, will hear nothing and prob
ably SEQ little of the effect of their on
slaught on the enemy. There will be no
cheers of victory to make dying less bitter
to the fatally weunded. War will be rob-
bed of all the pomp and ceremony with
which romano clothes it to the disgust Of
those who have experienced its realities.
Beneath the waves the submarine duel
will DO a silent, swift and terrible en-
counter, with escape from death depending
on hairbreadth chances for all engaged in
the fight.
