FROM THE NATIONS CAPITAL. .
From Our O,v. pofvesponasnt.

WASHINGTON. D.ic.l April i, isoa.
The most audacious open eyasion Of
the civil service lawithat has occurred
since the occupancy of the White
House by professional reformcr was
pulled of this week by Postmaster.
General Payne, the chief engineer oi
tho Roosevelt machine. To do 40 Mr.,
Payne assumed Legislative power be-
longing 10 Congress and created a new
fice-Contidential Secretary to the
Postmaster -General-with salary of
$4,000, and filed it with man who
has been associated with him in politi-
cal work in Wisconsin and for the Re-
publican National Committee-H. H.
Rapd-and who will presumably, be
assistant engineer Of the Roosevait
machine. Mr.. Payne desired to make
Rand chief clerk of tho Postoffice De-
partment, but that position is covered
by the civil service rules and is filed
by holdover Democrat from the
Cleveland administration. He frat
sought to have that Office taken from
under civil service rules, but there
were reasons why that was not practi-
cable. So an Office was created with
out authority oflaw, civil service or any
other kind, and Rand putinto il, and
it is understood that ne is to perform
all the important duties Of chief clerk
of the department..
Friends Of the Irrigation bill having
agreed to amend that measure tomeet
Mr.. Hoosevelt's objections to the bill
as it passed the Senate, gpeaker Hem
derson has promised that the bill shall
be voted on in the House.
Senator Hanna lis in bad humor
these days. He is inclined to resent
the criticism of his efforts in behalf of
Maj. Rathbone, who. was convicted of
participation IN the Cuban postal steal
ing along with Neely and Reeves, and
he is "cussing" mad over the ATTEMPT
of some OF the Ohio Republicans to
compel him to vote for the OIeomarea-
rine bill, which has just been passed by
the Senate. The latter was the result
of the publication OF q story saying.
that Hanna was opposed to the bill.
When asked about it, he said: s'I win
not be bulldozed into voting for any
measure. Ihaye not said how / would
vote on the oleomargarine bill, but If I
had been disposed to be friendly to-
ward it, my inclination now would be |
to vote against it.n
