A Victory For tho Opponents OF th
Civil Service Law

A Victory For tho Opponents OF the
Civil Service Law.
Washington, Jan. THE anti-civil
service reformers scored a victory in
the house yesterday. The legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation
bill was taken up for consideration and
when the appropriation for the civil
Evans, Kentucky Republican, made
motion to strike 1t out. This motion
has been made annually for dozen
years or more, but has invariably fail
ed. But yesterday the opponents of
the law laid great stress on the fact
that they could not get direct vote
upon the proposition, and were, there
fore, compelled to seek its notification
in this manner. Even these appeals
failed to bring out the full strength
of the opposition, though the motion to
strike out carried by a narrow ma
jority-67 to 81. This was in committee
Of the whole, where no record is made
of the vote. Mr.. Moody. of Massa-
chusetts, gave notice that he would
demand record vote In the house,
where the friends of the civil service
law expect to reverse the decision.
Immediately after the senate con-
vened yesterday the resolution offered
Thursday by Mr.. Hoar calling on the
president for information as to the in
structions Of the commissioners who
negotiated the treaty of Paris, to-
gether with all correspondence and re-
ports relating to the work, was laid
before the senate. Chairman Davis,
one Of the commissioners, desired that
it be referred to the foreign relations
committee, but Mr., Hoar insisted that
the senate had as much right to such
information as the members of the for
eign relations committee, and that the
president should determine whether
the senate should have 1t. The resolu-
tion was adopted In secret session. In
support of the resolution offered some
time ago by Mr.. Vest in opposition to
expansion Mr.. Caffrey delivered an ex-
tenslve speech.

Pittsburg, Jan. IA small fire in the
Arlington hotel last night caused a
panic among the quests and help, but
no one was seriously hurt Next door
to the hotel is the Alvin theater, where
the Sing of the Cross" is being pro-
duced. The audience packed the house
to the doors, and for few moments
there was great danger of serious
panic. A number of people left their
seats and rushed for the door, but the
perfect discipline Of the employees and
the GOODNESS of the actors prevented a
general stampede. After an inter-
ruption of about five minutes quiet was
restored and the play proceeded.

A DYING MinIster,s Prediction

Richmond, Va, Jan. REV. DIR.
Moses D. Hoge, pastor of the Second
Presbyterian church. died yesterday,
aged 81 years. He was one Of the best
known citizens of Richmond, and his
death is universally mourned. The rec
ognized approach of death was unable
to rob him ef the measure of dignity
that characterized his life. Two weeks
or more ago he himself dictated notice
for use In the local papers concerning
his condition, which forecast his death.
He not only set his own house in order
for the grim visitor, but consulted the
officers of his church as to his success
sor, and calmly awaited the inevitable.

What matter how tho sopsons,
Drift DER us, swift or slow,
Or friends forget to whisper

What matter II our going
Shall mean nations woe,
And many lips shall Inurmur

Or by the wayside lonely,
No tears for us shall flow:
No lips shall utter sadly
She died awhile ago.
What matter II wc're living :
Beyond all pain and woe;
Where never comes tho message.
She died awhile ngo.
