CIVIL SERVICE FAILS

He Declares Political Pull

GIVES VIEWS TO Mr.. F0ULKE
Knows More Than All Of the Commits
sion Put Together, he States-Lack
of Business Training Made Up by
Understanding of Spells System.

There are a great many people in the
length and breadth Of the land who have
a very hazy idea Of the powers and
scope of the Civil Service Commission
A great many of these people consider
the Commission responsible for every
thing that happens in the Government
service. When some Of these people be-
lieve that times are little out OF joint
they do their utmost to put them right
by writing letters 10 the Civil SeTv-
ice Commissioners. Some OF these let
ters contain the most direct personal
criticism OF the Commissioners.
Commissioner William Dudley Foulke,
who returned to the city on Tuesday
after an absence OF several weeks, found
one of these epfstles awaiting him. It
is from railroad employe, who lives
in Western city, and who says ne
knows more about The way the Inter
state Commerce Commission should ae
run than all of the Commissioners com
bined. The letter is IS follows:
Efficacy of the Pull.
las it is well-knoEn fact that no one
but he who has pull can get a po-
sition with the Federal Government,
which is evidenced by the Civil Serv-
ice Commission itself Ali the Commits
sioners are there and all the heads are
there because OF their pull, and the
machine work OF pol. tics IS as low nor
ally as the burning OF negroes North,
South. East. and We5t- The worst ex-
preston Of our civilization is the domi-

workings Of the business that comes IN

merce Commission than ali the Commits
sioners combined. Not ole CT them has
had any practical experience There is
Lot any necessity for that when practi-
cal politics is what IS necessary to the
end
Desires Specific information
Now. what I would Ike to know is If
1t is possible for a railroad employee
that can DO the most complicated work
in an Office like this to get a position
as a messenger boy with the Interstate
Commerce Commission I DO not think
that it is possible 10 get even a posi-
ton OF that kind without a pull.

Good Work.

John Dimond has done some fine
cement sidewalk and special work.
On his own premises, occupied by MIR.
Guthmann he has put in large amount
of walk and curbing, both cement and
granite. He has put in a half mile OF
cement walk this spring which he
guarantees to be perfect in every de-
tail. Perhaps the smost remarkable
feature of his general contracts has
been the work done for G. G.. Her
berger. He has built two flights of
cement steps leading up to his porch
which are as fine pieces of cement
walk as could possibly be desired.
Mr.. Herberger has erected a line
porch along the two street fronts OF
his residence, and Mr.. Dimond has
laid the inside walks and the stairs as
above indicated and made very al :
tractive. job of it. His curbing and
gutter Work has been unique in design
and altogether satisfactory.

ADOPTED IN HOUSE.
Amendment Voting 100000 to the Buff
faIo Exposition.


Washington, July 1.-The house
the majority leader, asked unanimous
consent that the Hepburn rule requir-
ing the printing of conference reports
in the Record before consideration

of the session. To this Mr.. Richard
son, the minority leader, objected.
Mr.. Cannon Qll), chairman of the

port left in dispute items aggregating
$1,905,000, including the appropria-
lions for the Buffalo and Charleston

Element of Hawaiian claims. The re-
port was adopted.

100000 for the Buffalo exposition, Mr..
Finley Is. CO. for one on the appro-
priation of 100000 for the Charleston

Senator EIkins Speaks in Favor of His
Resolution.

Resolution.
Washington, July 1.-When the
senate convened Mr.. Gallinger On. H.
chairman of the committee on pen
sions, made brief statement of the
work done by the pensions commit
tee during the present session. 1t
showed that the bills relating to pen
sions introduced in the house aggre-
gated 7,51S, while the aggregate num-
Der introduced in the senate was 1852.
The total number passed by both the
house and senate was 1,151.
A resolution offered by Mr.. Morgan
calling on the secretary of state for
statement of the expenditures of the
isthmian canal commission was adopt
ed.
Mr.. Elkins CIV. Va.) then addressed
the senate in support of his resolution
providing for the annexation by the
United States of the Island of Cuba.
Mr. Elkins said that his resolution
had been misunderstood. 1t had no
bearing upon Cuban reciprocity and
was not intended to have any. 1t sim
ply voiced in concrete form his judg-
ment that Cuba ought to be annexed
to the United States and the sooner
the better for both countries. The res
olution did not suggest annexation of
Cuba in an offensive way. 1t provided
that the Cubans must take the initia-
tive and only after they had asked for
annexation could the United States
act. For nearly a century, he said, the
annexation of Cuba to the United
States had been the ambition of Amer
lean craftsmanship. He pointed out
that many distinguished and patriotic
American statesmen, from Jefferson
to Mckinley, Had favored annexation
and he thought the present was an op-
perfume time to "carry into effect the
well defined wishes of a majority of
the people of Cuba and of the United
States in regard to annexation"
The resolution was referred to the
committee on Cuban affairs.
A bill was passed to give Rear Ad-
miral Schley the pay of rear ad-
miral on the active list instead of a
retired rear admiral'S nav
