Washington Jan. 10-The attendance in
the house was light today, but the gal
leries were well filed. The civil service
debate was resumed and MIR. Cooney,
Dem, Mo- took the floor. He opposed
the whole civil service reform idea, which
he denounced as a cheat and narrow
swindle. A civil pension list and an office
holding class, he argued, were logical and
inevitable, if it was to be continued.
Mr.. Dorr CRep., Va-,) followed with a
set speech in opposition to the law.
Mr.. Cox Dem, Tenn.,) said he was so
utterly opposed TO civil service reform
that he would vote to strike out the ap-
preparation for the committee and for the
repeal of the law.
Mr. Little Dem., Ark antagonized the
principle, theory and practice of the law.
Mr.. Brumm (Rep., Pa.,) also opposed
the reform system. He doubted, he said,
whether the president of the United
States, members Of the supreme court,
senate or house could pass some of the
civil service examinations. He defended
what was known as the political pull"
which, ne said, ought TO be cultivated. Ev-
cry young man should have such influence
and if they did not have it, il was the
best evidence that they were unworthy of
for the repeal of the law.
Mr.. Mccall Rep., Mass-,) was the first
speaker today to defend the merit system.
In replying to the criticisms of some of
the opponents of the system he said he
had to laugh at the expense of Mr.. Gros-
venor, who, according to his (AIcCalrs)
calculations, wanted over lis per cent Of
the offices exempted from the operation
of the civil service law.
Mr.. Cowherd Dem, Mo- called atten-
tion to some alleged violations of the civil
service law in his district. He said it was
Inconsistent for the president to play for
the grand stand with grandiloquent sup
port of the law while his subordinates
were entertaining the bIeachers by turn
ing the raScals out"
Mr.. SullOway (Rep., y. H, proudly pro-
claimed himself a spokesman, without any
mental reservation. The civil service law,
he said, had beer conceived in iniquity,
born in iniquity and administered in cow
ardice. and by Democrats.
Mr.. Moody Rep., Mass..) in charge of
the bill, gave notice that tomorrow he
would make a motion to close the debate.
Much opposition was manifested, but no
test was made.
At o'clock the house adjourned

OKlAHOMAN AT DAWSON
Chester Barrett Tells About Life N
the 4 IoudiEe

Guthrie, O. T., Jan. S.-(Special. lit
torney ]. w. Wilson, of this city yester-
day received a letter from friend locat-
ed at Dawson City, which will prove of
interest to those contemplating trip, or
who have money invested in Alaskan
companies:
Dawson City. Oct. 81, 1897.
Friend Wilson: Yours of July 26 re-
ceiyed. AS regards this coun-
try, will say that it is one of the richest
gold fields ever struck, but it takes the
strongest and most able-bodied man TO
do anything here. In the summer you
have to carry all your eatables on your
own back and climb the roughest trails.
If you or any of your friends contem-
plate coming to this country, provisions
for at least year should be brought
along.
To do that a start would have to be
made in February or March and sled ii
over the trail to the lakes and wait for
the ice to move to core down in a boat.
The boats in the lower rivers will not
carry freight, 1 understand, as they are
owned by companies and have all they
can do.
Provisions are short this winter and lots
of men have had to sle0 out of here,
distance of 600 miles. Prices of what is
for sale are enormous. a 50-pound sack
of flour brings 800, fresh meat S1.5O per
pound, and other things in proportion.
So you see a man has to have a long sack
and well flied at that to start in. My
advice to attorneys would be to stay
away from here, as this is the Dominion
of Canada and legal business cannot be
done without necessary papers, which
can only be secured after infinite trouble
would let whisky and cards alone, this
are high an dany one willing ot use the
shovel and pick can make at least SIS a
and if / can sell ,ut l will leave here
next fall. l have two claims. One pays
$40 day to the man. and while did not
get to prospect the other much last fall,
| believe it is better than the first.

LONDON, Nov. 3.-The Paris cores
pondent OF the Morning Post says: 1T
is expected that rupture of the peace
negotiations between the United States
and Spain will be officially announced
on FRIDAY.
"The feeling here Is that the attitude
Of the spanlasds is irrational in view OF
the financial proposals Of the United
states, and that they may ultimately
regret having failed to agree quickly
with the adversary"
The Berlin correspondent Of the
Standard says:
"RussIa and another power are cred
i;ed with the intention of lntimatlng to
Washington that the annexation Of the
Philippines must be preceded BY COM
mon agreement on future action in ces-
tain circumstances.

The German papers express their
feelings very frankly. The Hamburg
lsche Correspondent says: The United
States are conducting the peace negotl-
a.lons as they conducted the war. The
mask Of humanity Is being gradually
dropped, revealing the brutal hand OF
strength. When the protocol was sign

American hands. President Mckinley
demands the complete surrender only
because victory in the forthcoming cleo
lions depends upon 1t. The American
demand, hOwever,Is less blow 20 Spain
