"A VICTORY
For the Anti-0ivil S5rVica Reformers
Won in the House Yesterday.

Washington, January s.-The anti
civil service reformers scored victory
IN the House to-day. The legislative
executive and judicial appropriation
bill was taken up for consideration and
when the appropriation for the civil
service commission was reached, Mr..
Evans lRep., KY, made motion to
strike it out. This nation has been
made annually for dozen years or
more, but has invariably failed. But
to-day the opponents of the law laid
great stress on the fact that they could
not get direct vote upon the PROPOSE.
ton, 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 carried
by 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
House, where the friends of the civil
service law expect to reverse the de-
cision. Those who advocated the mo-
ton to strike out were:
Messrs. Evans (Rep., Ky), Grosven-
or (Rep., Ohio), Hepburn (RepA 1a.),
Linney (Rep., N. Co, Brown (Rep.,
Ohio, and Marsh (Rep., Ills.). Its op-
ponents were Messrs. Moody fRep.,
Mass), Hopkins Rep., Hls.), Fleming
(Dem., Ga.), Brosius, (Rep., Pa), Hen
derson (Rep., la, and Dolliver (Rep,
Ia. During general debate on the bill
Mr.. Swanson Oem., Va.), delivered
speech on "anti-imperialism."

There was one Mexican in the COM

was one Of the best trailers the South
west ever saw. Longonio heard the COLI

slapped as he turned away For myself,
| thought no more of it until it was for

later
The next day we left Fort Clark for a
scouting trip. At Newton where the Las

COMIC rode up and asked permission to
erossShe river Fancying that he wanted
to visit some friends, and knowing that
there was no immediate need of his SER
vices, I readily gave my consent. The
ereaser swan his pony across the river
and disappeared in the chaparral
The next I saw of him was two days
after. when I rode into Fort Clark for
my mail. In the afternoon Longonio rode
down to the officers line and stopped in
front of thes adjutant's office Several Of
fieers were standing around and gazed
in open-mouthed astenishment atN the
sight of the Mexican with dead Indian
behind him. He refused to answer any
of their queries and asked for eel colonel.
Hearing the cdmmotion the colonel came
out, and before he could say anything
Julian cut the rape that bound the In
dian to his saddle, threw the corpse on
the porch at the eoloners feet, and in his
soft, drawing voice. SO peculiar to the
Mexican, said:
" Cineuenta pesos. senior el colonel
We'll gentlemen, the colonel was so
thunderstruck at first that he was speech
leshs, but recovering himself presently. he
gave Longonie such a GUESSING out as [
never heard before nor since. The Next
can sat like a sphinx ON his horse, pre-
tending not to understand English. and
when the colonel was through he simply
pointed to the dead Indian and said
again:
'Cincuenta pesos, senior ell colonel"
He got his 'cineuenta pesos finally,
but the colonel intimated that if he ever
caught him around there again he would
have him shot. Longonio pocketed the
money and rode away with a broad grin
on his face to rejoin the scouts. 1t APP
pears he had lassoed the Indian first and
started to bring him in alive, but after
dragging him a mile over the cactus
plain poor Los spirit fled, and another
bad Indian was made a good one via the
