IN CONGRESS.
Both Houses Meet After the Holiday Re-

Both Houses Meet After the Holiday Re-
cess and Discuss the Civil Service Law.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6-SENATE-The pre-
sentatiOn of replies of the members of the
cabinet to the resolution calling for informal
ton as to the application of the civil service
law to the various departments of the govern
ment, together with the consideration of the
bill establishing bureau for the twelfth CEN
SuS, precipitated a sharp civil service debate
in the senate Wednesday. Mr.. Cullom GILL },
the author of the resolution thought that modi-
icatiOn in the law ought to be made as the au-
thorities had drifted far away from the origi-
nal intention Of the authors of the civil service
law. Mr. Allen CNeb) charged that
the law was openly and daily violated and
said it was hiss and byword among the peo-
pie. Mr.. COckren (MO.) declared that it was
preSumptuOuS in Secretary Sherman to make
recommendations to congress that certain posi-
tiOnS in his department should be excepted
from the classified service when the president
had full authority to make the exceptions he
recommended. He thought an effort was being
made to tie the presidents hands. Mr.. Davis,
chairman of the committee on foreign rela-
tionS, gave notice that he would next Monday
and daily thereafter move that the senate con-
slider in executive session the Hawaiian annex
alton treaty until it was disposed Of finally.
HOUSE-The civil service debate began in
the house Wednesday, based on the item in the
legislative, executive and judicial appropria-
ton bill for the maintenance of the commits
sion. 1t promises to continue at least until the
end of this week. with possibility that it may
run longer But it is generally admitted on
both sides that the appropriation in the bill
will stand. as the anti-civil service re-
formers do not seriously contemplate an
attempt to strike it out The debate.
therefore, is only preliminary to any pro-
gramme which the enemies 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 advo-
cate its entire repeal and those who desire it's
modification. These divisions were appar ent
in the debate Wednesday, the nature of which
was not as stirring as had been anticipated.
Messrs. Moody rep. Mass.), Grow rep, Pa,
and Greene (pop., Neb), defended the law;
Messrs. Dockery dem, Mo-. RObb dem,
Mo-, and Pearson rep, N. c., opposed it
outright, while Mr. Lands (rep., Ind.) favored
modification of the law.

TRAIN ROBBERS
Bind and Gag a Messenger on an XIX.
press Car Near Port Arthur, Kan.
The Local Safe Was Opened and Everything
of Value Was Taken The Through
Time-LOck Safe Was Not Touched
Robbers Get Considerable Doodle.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. 5.-After
about three months of inactivity Kan
sas City's train robbers scored another
brilliant achievement Tuesday night.
This time the Kansas City, Pittsburg
& Gulf road is the sufferer. The COM
pany's Port Arthur special, which left
the company'S depot here at $40 Tues
day night, was robbed before it had
passed beyond the city limits. Two
men whom no one but the express
messenger seems to have seen
climbed into the express car as the
train left the depot. They overpow-
cred the messenger, bound and gagged
him, and rifed the car before the train
came to a stop. When the train
slowed up at railroad cross
ing known as Air Line juno
ton, near the southeastern limits
of the city, they climbed out of the car
and disappeared. Nothing was known
of the robbery until a Negro train
porter entered the car and found the
helpless express messenger.
After the train had been stopped and
others of the crew had come forward
and released the express messenger, it
was found that the robbers had rifled
the local safe, taking from it every
thing of value, They had made no eff
fort to disturb the through safe, which
is protected by a time lock- From Air
Line junction a telegraphic report of
the robbery was sent to the
city and the train pro-
Co. controls the express business on
the Pittsburg & Gulf road. At the eX-
press company's Office here C. f. Teas,
the local manager, stated that there
was not much of value in the local safe
and that 5000 or $500 would probably
cover the cOmpany's loss. In police
circles however the impression is that
the robbers secured several thousand
dollars in money and jewelry.
The report received at the express
cOmpany's Office here states that the
robbers entered the express car as the
train was passing Kyrads, having
forced the rear door with jimmy. E.
n. Hyde, of Kansas City, was the ex-
press messenger. Upon turning from
his work he looked into the barrel of a
siX-shOoter. The messenger offered no
resistance, though he was well armed,
and after the robbers had bound him
one of the two stood guard over him
while the other rified the safe.
The robbers are described as smooth
faced young men, and the fact that
both were extremely nervous while in
the express car is taken as evidence
that they are new recruits to Kansas
City's force of train robbers.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Since the api-
tation concerning the publication of
the list of pensioners commenced, Com
missioner Evans has received several
letters from pensioners requesting a
cancellation of their pensions One
pensioner in Michigan enclosed his
certificate and stated his desire to have
the same recalled, as he was not en-
titled to the governments bounty. He
added that he would endeavor to re-
turn all the money drawn since 1895,
when the pension was granted
United States Treasurer Roberts
Tuesday sent the following telegram
to all assistant treasurers:
Discovery of dangerous counter
feits compels retirement of all 500 sill
yer certificates. Forward all such
notes to this office for destruction. Be
cautious in receiving denomination
and kind mentioned"
Another of these counterfeits was
Tuesday discovered in a package re-
ceived from Chicago So far as known
the only cities in which they have ap-
peared are Chicago, st. Louis and Phil
adelphia.
Pension Commissioner Evans has in
preparation a circular letter to mem
bers of congress asking their co-opera-
ton IN the order recently issued pro-
hlbiting the further consideration
of pension claims until one year has
elapsed from the date of last
action. This step was necessary
because of the frequent calls of
congressman for a statement show
ing status of claims, which congested
the work of bureau to such an extent
as to seriously interfere with routine
business. There are few instances
where additional evidence of further
disability occurs within a year and ac-
cordlng to the new rule, the case nav
be taken up after that time, and if it
contains additional evidence of such
character as to warrant a re-opening
OF the case such action will be taken.
The special committee appointed by
the recent conference of the members
of the house of representatives oppos-
ed to existing civil service reform has
agreed on a measure and will report it
to the conference sometime .Wednes-
day. 1t makes a number of changes
IN the offices now in the classified SER
vice, and limits in specific terms the
powers and duties of the civil service
commission

HELD AN ACCIDENT POLICY.
A Cyclists Disgust at Not Being Hurt
In a Collision.

This is the story of somewhat unusual
accident. 1t happened on the Conduit road
one evening early in the fall, and the man
who told me about it was an eyewitness.
1t is singularly appropriate, by the way,
that he should be an eyewitness, for he IS
an oculist by profession. A man on bi-
cycle was scorching cheerily along on theway
to town, when suddenly there doomed up
out of the darkness in front of him heavy
wagon and a team headed straight for him;
There was no time to turn out. The wheel
crashed into the wagon pole, and the rider
was thrown completely over the horses, TALL
ing between them and the wagon. The ocu-
list ran to the rescue, expecting to see,
limp mass of bleeding and unconscious hu,,
manity. Instead, he saw kicking ana
swearing person who was apparently unln-
jured. The bicycle was a Chinese puzzle OF
twisted wire.
Are you hurt?" asked the oculist.
The swearing person picked himself up
and stopped swearing He gazed at what
had once been il fair young bicycle.
Hurt" he said in tone of deepest dis
gust. Hurt? Me? Of course amt hurt.
I've got an accident policy. "-Washington
