NO. 20.
NO APPROPRIATION.
Anti-Civil Service Reformers Victorious
in the House.

IN Jne mouse.
Washington, Jan. 9.-The anti-ciyil
service reformers scored victory in
the house today. The executive legis-
lative and judicial appropriation bill
was taken up for consideration, and
then, when the appropriation for the
civil service commission was reached,
Evans made a motion to strike it out.
This motion has been made annually
for dozen years or more, but invari-
ably failed. But today the opponents
of the law laid great stress on the fact
that they could not get decisive 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 margin,
67 to 81. This was in committee of
the whole, where no record was made
of the vote. Moody gave notice that
he would demand record vote in the
house, where the friends of the civil
service law expect to reverse the deci-
sion.
When the senate convened today the
resolution offered yesterday by Hoar.
calling on the president for information
as to the instructions to the commits
sioners who negotiated the treaty of
Paris, together with all correspondence
and reports relating to their work. was
laid before the senate. Chairman
Davis, one of the commissioners, asked
that it be referred to the for eign rela-
tions committee, but Hoar insisted
that the senate had as much right to
such information as the members of
the foreign relations committee. and
that the president should determine
whether the senate should have it.
The resolution was adopted in secret
session. In support of the resolution
offered some time ago by Vest, in oppo-
sition to expansion, Caffery delivered
an extended speech.
AT the conclusion of Caffery's argu-
ment. Morgan announced, on behalf
of the Nicaragua canal committee, the
acceptance in modified form of the
amendments offered by Berry before
the holidays to the pending canal bill.
The amendments were not passed upon
by the senate.
