(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Jan. 10.-The House spent
the day considering the Hopkins bill
to create a permanent Census Bureau.
While the general sentiment was in ia
vor of a permanent bureau there was
strong opposition to the bill as drawn
on the ground that it was not well ma
tured. There also was an overwhelm-
ing demand for a provision to place the
present employees of the Census Bureau
Under the protection of the Civil Ser
vice law and the bill was finally recon-
mitted with instructions to report back
a bill containing plan for detailed cr-
ganization of permanent Census Bu-
reau to include also a provision to place
the present employees under the Civil
Service rules. The fight to recommt was
made under the leadership of Mr.. Bur-
kett, of Nebraska, the new member of the
Appropriations Committee.

Mrs. Mckinley the free mailing privilege
during the remainder of her life. The
House then adjourned until Monday.
In the discussion of the Census bill,
Mr.. Hopkins Glls). said that 3,4S0 clerks
had been employed in the bureau, ZOO
being still employed. If the pending bill
passed, he said, the force would be re-
duced this year to 800; next year to 75O,
i'll 1905 to 240 and thereafter until 1910
tc 200. He was beseiged by members
who wanted to know the status of the
present clerks in the event of the pas
sage of the bill. He said that if the bill
passed it was hoped the other depart
ments could absorb the present tempor-
airy clerks. They could then be placed
under the protection of the Civil Ser
vice rules.
Mr.. Burkett (Neb), opposed the bill,
saying it had not been matured. He
pointed out that salary Of $500 was
voted to the Director of Census on the
ground of the temporary character of the
employment and the great responsibility.
This bill proposed to continue this sal
ary. He pointed out that the exports
whose services it was claimed it was
SO necessary to retain had been detailed
from the various departments.
Mr. Maddox (Ga.). opposed in toto the
Plan OF a permanent Census Bureau.
Mr. Fleming (Ga.), and others dis
cussed the bill and Mr.. Hemenway (Ind. J,
offered an amendment to provide that
persons now employed in the Census Bu-
reau, not including janitors, shall be
eligible to appointment in other depart
ments without examination or certification
by the Civil Service Commission upon
the recommendation of the head of such
department
The Hemenway amendment was adopt
ed. The bill was then recommitted and
