upon the disarmament Of the organiza-
ton they should be filed in the record
of the pension and war department
Section Is was amended so as to pro-
vide that the governors of the states. in
stead of the president, might appoint Of
ficers of the regular army in the grades
Of field officers in the volunteer army,
such appointments to depend upon the
consent of the president.
A CIVIL SERVICE FEATURE.
Mr. Cannon, chairman of the appro-
priations committee, offered as an. addi-
tional section an amendment providing
that all government employees called into
the military or naval service Of the
United States. while in such service
should be granted leave of absence, and
upon honorable discharge should be emit
tied to resume their employment at the
same pay, and II also provided. where
necessary, for temporary appointments
to fill vacancies.
Mr.. Grosvenor opposed the amendment
It might be necessary, he said at some
time, to offer such an inducement 70
secure enlistment. but with 12.00o0O0 able
bodied men there was no reason why
these favorites Of the government should
be shown additional favoritism
Mr.. Cannon said there were letter car
riers. clerks and others in the public ser
vice who were anxious to enlist in the
volunteer service. and they should be
allowed to do so.
Mr. Faris CRep., Ind.) said the amend
ment was the legitimate outgrowth of
the civil service humbug. This PROPOSE
ton contained the bigges bounty ever
contemplated to enlist soldiers.
The amendment was defeated.
The bill was then passed without divis-
ion, and at 5:15 p. m. the house ad-
journed.

WAR BILL IS RUSHED

Mr. Hull replied that it was not expected
THAI the war would be a long one unless
Spain resorted to guerilla warfare, but
he did not believe d three years term

amendment was defeated.
Mr.. Handy offered a substitute, author
izing the enlistment of 400, 900 men for the
present war. He said it was distinctly
a temporary measure, under the approval
Of eminent military authorities. The sub
stitute was lost.
Mr.. Talbert Oem., S. c. warned the
house that war with Spain was not a
light thing. Gentlemen who thought it
would be over in few days would be
sadly disappointed to his mind.

war" said he. linen at the north and

The politicians are even now beginning

which are somewhat too self-confident.

ed in cutting OF the mail car and COM
PEELED the engineer to pull it up to the

PURCHASES OF SHIPS.
The navy department was a scene Of
great activity. The department has al
most completed arrangements for the pur
chase of one or two vessels in England to
be used as golfers, but in advance of the
completion of the sale the officials do not
deem 1t prudent to make public their
names. There was every disposition on the
part of the officials TO limit the purchase
to ships of American construction and
ownership, but in view of what are termed
at the navy department a number Of bare
