to Rican commission, of which Admiral
Schley was a member.
In the evening, Admiral and Mrs
Schley occupied a box at the theatre,
where Nine. Lillian Nordica sang. AS
the audience recognized him, there was
enthusiastic cheering of such volume
and persistence as temporarily to de-
lay the performance. After an encore,
Nine. Nordica crossed to the box and
shook hands with Admiral Schley,
while the audience stood and cheered.
Upon the conclusion of the evenings
bill, apparently the whole audience
waited at the door and cheered the

Crumpacker, Ind, favoreu the pas
sage of the bill, which, he argued,
would be the first step toward putting
the census upon a scientific and logi-
cal basis.
Maddox. Ga, and Hemenway, o2-
posed the bill. Simms, Tenn, said he
would propose an amendment to place
the employees of the Office under the
civil service law. Bingham, Pa, sup
ported the bill.
After some further discussion by Gil
lett, Mass, Fleming Ga, SulZer, n. Y,
and Williams, ILL.,, Hopkins closed the
general debate with an earnest plea in
favor of the passage of the bill.
The bill was then opened to amend
n ent and Heminway, Ind, offered an
amendment to provide that persons
now employed in the census bureau,
not including janitors, shall be eligible
to appointment in other departments
without examination of certification by
the civil service commission upon
recommendation of the head of such
IL partment.
Mann, ILL.,, opposed the amendment,
because it placed no time limit upon
the eligibility of. employees.
The Heminway amendment was
adopted without division.
Burkett then moved that the bill be
reported to the House with the recon-
mtndation that it be re-committed,
with instructions to report back as a
substitute a bill providing for the de-
tailed organization of a permanent
census bureau and with a provision
therein to place the present employees

cable shall he constructed by the govern
ment or by private parties. The hearing
was devoted to an explanation by George
G.. Ward. vice president of the CONNER
cial Pacific Cable Co.. of the plans of thai
organization. He stated that contracts
had been made for the manufacture and
laying of cable to Honolulu by Nov !
next. and the company intended to extend
the cable to Manila within two years
from next November He gave the cost
of the project as between $l0.00000o and
$1,000, 900. Mr. Ward gave the expected
rate to Manila at 81 and Honolulu 35 to
50 cents a word.

are taken not with any offensive inten
toward Venezuela, but merely to guar,
against an outbreak of anarchy and nit
