Fight CIVIL SERVICE
Hepburn and Others Attack
the Civil Service System
in Congress.
GROWING LESS EFFICIENT
;RoWING LESS EFFICIENT
Iowa Congressman Declares tho
Civil Service Is Worse Than the
Spells System - Discussion Brings
Out Some Humorous Comment on tho
Recent E:lection---W ashington News.

E Washington, Dec. 9.-The annual
fight on the civil service commission
was begun In the house yesterday DUR
ing the consideration Of the legislative
appropriation bill. The opposition came
from Messrs. Bartlett, of Georgia. Hep
burn of Iowa, and Grosvenor OF ONO.
Mr.. Hepburn moved to strike out the
entire appropriation for the commission
and its force Of clerks at the same time
denouncing the civil service as not
having improved since the days OF the
spoils system, but on the contrary as
growing less and less efficient.
The discussion brought out some
semi humorous comment on the last
presidential election. 1t related. to the
lack of votes which were cast for Judge
Parker. Mr.. Williams of Mississippi,
and Mr.. Grosvenor Of Ohio participated
in this feature Of the debate.
The session lasted five hours and fif-
teen minutes. The legislative bill was
scrutinized carefully in consonance
with the presidents recommendation
against extravaganza. Mr.. Bingham.
in charge Of the bill, was required con-
stantly to explain some particular APP
preparation. The pay of the stem
ographer Of the committees Of the
house was reduced from $4,000 per an
mum to $4,000, and the house refused
to accept the provision increasing the
pay of the secretary to the civil SER
vice. But little progress was made
on the bill.

SHAW AND APPOINTMENTS.
lsY o W NoRRls.l

the secretary came here simply to
kill" Bray, and yet that was ul1doubt-
edly the object Of the local po'lticlahs
unfriendly to Bray, who were instru-
mental In bringing Shaw here. 1t Will
be remembered that 1t was MIR. Chris
tian who first made public the tele-
gram announcing Shaw's proposed WIS.,
It, What more probable than to sup
pose this telegram was In response to
one from Bray's enemies hereT From
what took place mt the meeting II IL
morally certain that Secretary Shaw
did not come here to confer with the
depositors.
Bray is u young man of high char
acter. OF ability, worker, and an ac-
tive and loyal supporter OF Cnmmins'
republlcanism. 1t seems that he wan
responsible for the statement that
Shaw told him that Lacey did not sup
port Lanphere for tho rece'vership.
When this was told the secretary he
iiippantly denied 1t; denied any ac-
auaintance with Bray; denied the con-
versatlon. and said that Bray would
not dare to face him with such a state
ment Bray was sent for and came IN.
He reminded the secretary OF the con-
versation, told him when and where 1t
took place, and was very str;ightfor-
ward and frank. The secretnry then
was ratified He did not disclaim ac-
duaintance with the young nun before
him and admitted discussing the mat
ter with Grinnsll men on the train

Boston, Io-c. 9.--Thomas w. Lawson
announced adnesday night that he
would apply for a receiver for the
Amalgamated Copper Company and
substantiate every statement he had is
sued in regard to the great Rockefeller
trust. He added he was placing adj
vertisements in Europe and America
for publication today that would bring

The Boston news bureau says:
Unless he carries out his threat he
can be. under New York laws, put in
jail for circulating false reports calcu-
lated to depress the price of shares.
Possibly, the Massachusetts, authors
ties would give him up to the New

CAR FAvoRs REFORM.
Approval of Several Principles In
Zemstvo Memorial Given.

st. Petersburg, Doc. 8.-The council
Of the empire and the council of min
listers, by the emperor's direction, are
considering the memorial presented by
the council of Hemstvoists, which was
held here recently. II can be stated
authoritativey that the emperor has
shown intense interest in the ques-
tions raised, and, while 1t Is impos-
sibe that the idea of direct legisla-
tive body can be entertained, he has
nevertheless signined to Minister Of the
Interior Syiatopolk- Mirsky his approx
al OF a number of the principles laid
down In the memorial, and Is now a
waiting the recommendations of the
two councils.
A commission Is sitting at the min
istry of finance considering the coming
increase in taxation. 1t Is proposed
that the zemstvos shall have vote in
the assessment and share in the dis
bursement.
Prince Mirsl1y's health, always poor,
again has given way under the strain
to which he has been subjected.
In the meantime the revolutionary
organizations have promulgated their
idea Of constitution, which has been
circulated by tens Of thousands thru
out Russia. 1t Is composed Of forty
two articles, and IL modelled partly up
on the American and partly upon the
British systems. Supreme authority
Is vested In the emperor and con-
gress OF two houses. called the imperial
douma-
The upper house, or landhouse. is to-
nm stsk ~ wnrrooA ku ftuno o1ArfAd nv
provincial zemstvos and doumas Of the,
larger cities, and the lower, or towr,
house, to consist Of representatives.
elected by secret ballot from districts
having 100000 population.
The proposed constitution provides
for responsible ministers to sit under
the presidency Of the imperial chan.
ceilor all subject to impeachment. The
empire is to be divided for self govern.
ing movements into districts, or com.
munes called Zemstvos.
The administration Of law Is incun1-
bent upon judges who may not be re-
moved except by court sentence. A,
supreme court Ia provided to safeguard.
and interpret the constitution. Finland
is held to be autonomous except as to
foreign relations.
The imperial authority is vested VI,
the reigning house, but on the Access
sion Of each new emperor he must TAX,
an oath to defend the constitution. Tho
emperor has all the power granted u
monarch, but the prerogatives OF the
imperial douma are carefully hedged.
Tho emperor may prorogue the imper.
ial douma, but elections must occur
within four months and the body must
be reconvoked within six months.
The document includes q bill Of
rights, among other things, making all
Russians equal before the law. irres-
pective Of race or religion: guarantees
of personal liberty, exemption from ar.
rest without process Of law and liberty
to travel except abroad to avoid mill
tary service.

pus, the people are bound to identify
him with the things that will destroy
him. Fully 100000 republicans in Iowa
would rebel. Against man like Folk
he wouldn't have a ghost OF q show
He couldn't carry Massachusetts or
Minnesota, nor Wisconsin. / doubt IL
he could carry Iowa.
TO me all this talk about Shaw In
1908 seems supremely absurd and yet
1t is real. David Graham Phillips, In
the Plum Tree" says: 1T was from
tai attack upon public opinion and
frontal attacks are az unwise ana as
unnecessary in politics as In war" The
nomination OF Shaw would surely be a
frontal attack upon public opinion"
The nomination of Parker was an
attack OF public opinion, but dt was
masked. There couldn't be any mask
In Shaw's nomination. The voters OF
this country are FESTIVE; they are In
formed they are In earnest. The man
who would reach the presidency must
be right. The mere fact that he calls
himeslf republican won't win the
prize. Let organized greed defy pub
lie opinion, and organized greed will
no longer control legislation. We read
In fable of monstrous giant, who
had one blazing eye In the center OF
his head. He trlurnphed over SO many
OF his enemies and became 80 strong
that he defied the world. But a youth
with Courage" found O. weak point In
the giants armour and destroyed him.
There are several youths with courage
still in sight. There Is one at
Washington now. There Is at least
one In Wisconsin. one In Illinois ana
one In Iowa.

TO MAKE TOBACCO INQUIRY.
Presiden. Will Appoint Attorney For
Purnosa

washington, Dec. 8.-The admins
tration is about to begin a searching
investigation of the tobacco trade, with
special reference to the operations of
the so-called tobacco trust. To this
end the president has decided to ap-
point A. E. Garner of Springfield,
Tenn, special assistant attorney gem
eral, with instructions to make an ex-
tended inquiry into everything per-
atining to the relations between grow
ers, manufacturers, and consumers OF
tobacco.
Frequent complaints have come to
the department of justice In regard to
alleged oppressive methods pursued
by the combination of tobacco and
cigar manufacturers Complaints
have been especially strong from the
tobacco growers Of Virginia, Ken
lucky, Tennessee, and other large to-
bacco producing states. who declare
they are absolutely at the mercy Of the
combination of manufacturers. The
growers have told the department Of
justice that they have been reduced
almost to poverty by the alleged &C.
ton OF the trust in driving from the
field all competitors and compelling
the farmers to accept any price which
the combination may choose to offer.
p. G. Ewing, president Of the Arneri-
can Tobacco Growers Association,
has had several conferences with the
department of justice and repeatedly
has said he was in q position to lay
before the administration valuable
evidence against the combination OF to-
bacco manufacturers, 1t was largely
in view of his representations that it.
was decided to appoint Mr.. Garner to
make the investigation.
The inquiry will be conducted under
the broad authority conferred by the
act crea ting the bureau of corpora
lions of the department of commerce
and labor. 1t probably will be some
months before all the evidence will be
ready for the inspection of the presi-'
dent and the attorney general.

ARBITRATION WITH HUNGARY.
New Treaty With European Monarchy

gary and the United States soon will
conclude an arbitration treaty, If the
negotiations initiated by Secretary
Hay and Mr.. Hengelmuller, Austro-
Hungarian ambassador continue to
progress as satisfactorily as they have
begun. The ambassador yesterday in
formed the secretary that there is now
on the way to Washington a copy Of
the form Of treaty which his governs
ment has signed with several other
powers. Attic differing In text it is
practically the same as the treaties this
government has concluded with several
countries. 1t is probable that the
treaty will be made to conform to those
already signed by this government.
