last session. said that for twelve years he
had seen this annually recurring motion
made and each year it had been met with
the argument advanced by Mr.. Moody that
this was not the time. place nor manner in
which the law should be assailed- He adj
mitted there was some virtue in the argu-
ment. But no one could deny that the
civil-service law had overreached itself. 1t
had throttled the appointing power of the
government. Men who supported it when
it became a law never dreamed it would
be carried to the extent to which 1t has
been carried.
Mr. Hepburn in support of the amend
ment said that what the opponents of the
present system desired could be accom-
plished by the President if some of the ex-
isting orders were rescinded. When the law
was originally passed 10000 offices covered
the largest estimate any of its supporters
dreamed could be brought under its opera
ton. To-day 1900 clerks were within the
classified service. He was not opposed, he
said, to honest civil-service reform but to
the humbuggery which masqueraded under
that name. For sixteen years, he said. the
friends of the law had prevented action in
the House on bill to modify or repeal it.

CORRESPONDENCE THAT WAS TRANS
MITTED WITH THE TREATY.
Letters from COnsuHs Williams, Wild
Dealings with FiIipinOs.


Special to tie indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-The outlook for
the ratification of the peace treaty at the
short session is not so bright tonight as
it has seemed in the recent past. Senator
Davis, chairman of the committee on foreign
relations, is not confident OF ratification, he
having learned that the anti-eXpanson lead
ers were organizing for a talking campaign
To prevent the treaty from coming to u
vote 1t will not be a difficult matter for
tho opposition to hold the treaty up to the
end of the session by systematic obstruc-
tion tactics, and if it be really their inten-
ton TO engage in that sort of warfare, as
Senator Davis and other friends of the ad-
ministTation fear then the prospect for rati-
ncatiOn this winter may be said to be very
poor.
Less than fifty working days of the ses-
sion remain for the transaction of an enor-
nous volume of indispensable business, in
GLIDING the great money bills The army
reorganization and the Nicaraguan canal
bills will also take considerable time, and
numerous other matters will be available
as time-killing propositions. A shrewdly
managed opposition campaign can antag-
onize the treaty in a dozen effective ways
without appearing to get directly in it's way
That such is the present purpose of the
anti-expansionists admits of little doubt
The obstruction plan, If determinedly
pushed, will force the calling of a special
session of the Fifty-sixth Congress. If the
treaty did not carry an appropriation the
Senate alone could be called together for
treaty consideration, but as $2OO0O,Oo0 must
be provided both branches of Congress
must be convened. To meet such a con-
hot ba
present House put through a bill to provide
for the appropriation of $50 600 contingent
on the ratification of the treaty. The
proposition is absurd, as the approval of
both branches of Congress is necessary to
the getting of money from the treasury,
and Senate that cannot force a vote on
the treaty can be depended on to prevent
the appropriation of $20,0O00O0 in advance
Business that is not completed when the
4th of March arrives goes into the SCRAP
pile. Unless the situation changes from
what 1t is at the present moment there will
be no getting away from a special session
Currency reform will then have an inning.
The Senate and House are likely to lock
horns over the Miles and Hull-Alger army
reorganization bills, with the result that
neither may pass this session. Senate
sentiment favors the Miles plan, and the
House will probably give its approval to the
bin reported by the committee on military
affairs of which Mr. Hull is chairman. That
gentleman is sick and may not be out for
three or four weeks, a fact which still
further darkens the hope of practical re-
suits this winter.
The Senate committee on foreign relations
Ola not have quorum and the peace treaty
was but informally discussed at the meeting
to-day.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-The correspond
ence published officially in connection with
the peace treaty contains much of interest
from Consul Williams, who was stationed at
Manila prior TO the war; He was i'm con-

some time after the battle of Manila bay and
his letters throw much light upon the re-

of $,65000O TO consent TO public deportation

adds, "only multiplied claimants and famed

On March 10 Consul Williams complained
that letters and kilograms were tampered

church as the greatest bar to progress in
the islands. Mr. Williams also stated that
every leisure hour was devoted TO the in

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Col Henry
Sharp, of the Commissary Department, who
served at Camp Thomas and in Porto Rico

had made the contracts with Nelson Morris

been in the Commissary Department for ff-

Miles on the "embalmed beef Issued at

Colonel Sharp said the report in question
