A Complete Review of the Happenings
OF the Past Seven Days in This
and ALI Foreign Lands.
GIVEN IN THE PRESS DISPATCHES
EIFTY-rIFrH CONGRESS.

In the United States senate on the 4th
the peace treaty was received from the
president and referred to the commit
tee on foreign relations. Adjournment
was then taken out of respect TO the
memory of the late Senator Morrill,. In
the house the time was occupied in con-
sidering the bill to define and punish
crimes in the district of Alaska and pro-
vide a code of criminal proceedings for
the district Resolutions of respect TO
the memory of the late Senator Morrill,
were adopted.
Little business except that of rou-
tine character was transacted in the
United States senate on the 5th. Sena-
tor Berry (dem., Ark.) presented pro-
test against the payment of pensions to
confederate soldiers. IIRhe house the
time was occupied in considering the
bill to codify the laws of Alaska.
A resolution was adopted in the Unit
ed States senate on the 9th calling on
the president fer copies of all instruc
tons given by him to the commissions
ers for negotiating the treaty with
Spain so far as not inconsistent with
the public interests. Senator Catfrey
(La.) spoke in opposition to eXpan-
sion. In the house, in committee OF
the whole, the legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bill was taken
up for consideration, and when the ap
preparation for the civil service was
reached a motion to strike it out was
carried by vote of 67 to 81.
\ resolution was introduced in the
United States senate on the 18th pro-
viding that the government of the
United States will not attempt to gov
ern the people of any other country
without the consent of the people, or
subject them by force TO our dominion
against their will. 4 bill was intro
duced TO provide for a submarine cable
between the United States and Hawaii,
! the Philippines, Japan, China and Aus
/ tralia. In the house the time was occu-
| pied in the consideration of the execu-
tive appropriation bill.

BLOW TO CIVIL SERVICE.
Anti-Reformers Score Victory TN
Committee of the whOIe-VOte
No appropriation.

Washington, Jan. THE anti-civi,
service reformers scored a victory 10
the house Friday. The legislative, ex-
ecutiye and judicial appropriation bill
was taken up for consideration, and
when he appropriation for the civil
service commission was reached Mr.
Evans (rep., Ky.) made q motion TO
strike it out. This motion has oeen
made annually for a dozen years or
more, but has invariably failed. But
Friday the opponents of the law aid
great stress on the fact that they could
not get a direct vote upon the propo.
sition and were therefore 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 carrie
by a narrow majority-67 to 81. This
was in committee of the whole, where
no record is made of the vote. Mr..
Moody rep, Mass.) gave notice that
he would demand a record vote in the

Cuban. SIN Dissatisaed.

Santiago de Cuba. Jan. 6.-The ex-
PLANTATION of the war department at
Washington of its intentions regarding
the transfer of customs receipts from
the different ports in Cuba TO Havana
is met here by statements from the
Cubans that the plan is similar 10 the
one adopted by the Spaniards, when
acquisitions on Havana obtained less
than six per cent. of what the requisi-
ton called for. The merchants, bust
ness men and influential people here
say Havana has grown rich and pros
porous at the expense of the rest of
the island, and the Cubans and govern
mental officials at Santiago say the Gu
bans of Havana are responsible for Maj.
Cen Brookes order on this subject.
The people here add that the Havana
Cubans are still anXious to maintain
the same system of the Capitalization
of funds that was in force before the
American occupation.
