SPEECHES IN THE HOUSE.
Ex-Speaker Grow the First to Open
Long Debate.

A fter the reading of the Journal. the
House proceeded to further discuss the
civil service question in connection with
the item providing for the payment Of tie
commission in the Legislative, executive and
Judicial appropria ton bill.
In the course OF the preliminary effort to
Missouri asked Nj. Hepburn of Iowa on
what theory he based the assertion that
"all the members Of thiS-thc Democratic
side favored the repeal Of the la W.
Mr.. Hepburn: "Silnply because that
would be wrong tGTeatla lighter and Mr..
Clark suhsided.
Mr.. Hepburn said there were more than
100 Republican members no, with him,
favored a sensible modification or the law;
and answering Mr.. Knox OF Massachusetts
said that tomorrow such proposition
would be introduced.
II was found impossible to make a sat
isfactory arrangement for the management
and division of the time among the speak
ers or to limit debate.
The venerable eX-Speaker Grow. of
Pennsylvania, was the first speak er. He
said that IL was necessary. regardless of
the mode of administration, that there
should be some measure which would re-
lieye the President of the strain of hearing
and deciding the rival claims of crossroad
politicians for third-class postoffice.

London. Jan. b.-Little doubt is en-
tertaned in financial circles that the
Rritish government has agreed in the
ory to guarantee Chinese loan OF
Gle. .0O0. .o0o but there is a good rea-
son TO believe that the terms have
not vet been settled. The Times in
remarkable leader approving the step.
points out a radical change in the
methods of modern diplomacy which
action indicates that arrangements
of the kind must be regarded as logt-
cal consequences of a reluctance to set
in motion the gigantic armaments OF
the present day.
Nations, the article continues

another for material advantages, bat
from a humanitarian point of Vew a.
is satisfactory to note a growing tend
encv to determine the issue Of struggles
without actual war They aim instead
Ia obtain a strong moral or financial
position and at establishing claims
which appeal to the general sense OF
equity
There must alway be force in the
back ground. since the best claims are
liable To be overridden i'm its absence.
Therefore the establishment Of such in
a case where important markets are at
stake. may be worth considerable pc
cuniary risk or even expenditure upon
The ground that struggles II an inf
uiteIv more costly kind are thus prac-
ticauy superseded.
The naTtition Of China in a terrific
rial sense. is probably a long way of,
though. on the other hand. We must moi
forget that in the north Russia has al
ready effected not inconsiderable dis-
nemberment and that in some. Ger
man circles partition is not though'
chimerical But there is another and
more insidious partition which consists
i'm obtaining monopolies OF such things
as railways. waterways. mines. or pro
lection from control of customs which
might have disastrous effects upon ON
trade. 1t is at least worthy Of serious
consideration whether a more effectua
combating Of restrictive measures o.
that kind does not Justify incurrinf
seasonable financial risks which Nigh
once have been properly regarded a.
outside the scope Of government ac

more than coniecturaL

The District Commissioners have
formulated a bill which provides for
carrying into effect the sewage dispo-
sal plan for the District. 1t is TO be
submitted to Secretary Gage for his
opinion as to the expenditure involved
and method of paying for the work.
After that it is 10 be further consider
ed at the District Building. but it is
probable that the bill, as it now stands,
or with very slight changes. will be
sent to Congress and its passage urged
by the Commissioners.
The bill provides principally for
bonding the District to raise the sum
needed for the immediate completion
of the entire scheme. The Commis-
sioners feel very strongly that the
work should be done without further
delay. At the rate it is now going it
would be complete, of course. at some
time in the more or less distant fu-
ture, but before that new system
would be necessary. 1t is believed
eminently fair that as posterity is to
benefit by the system as much and
even more than the present genera
ton. that posterity should help to pay
for it.
The United States is required 10 pay
half of the bill. The bond scheme is
so arranged that the burden of the
District. while not heavy during the
first ten years becomes still easier af-
ter that by the investment of the sink
ing fund.
Another provision of the bill Is that
| the work may be let out either by con-
| tract or be done by day labor, as the
| Commissioners may elect. The Com
! missioners assert that under the rigid
contract system they have been IRE
ouently put at the mercy of rings oi
| contractors who put the prices up tre-
mendously. BY having either the con
tract or the day labor plan at their as
posal they hope always to secure ran
| prices.
