REMAINS IN THE BILL
Appropriation for the Civil
Service Commission.
ACTION OF THE HOUSE
VOTE WAS 172 IN FAVOR TO SO IN
OPPOSITION.
Spirited Discussion of the Practice of
Subordinates Using Carriages In
tended for Heads of Departments.

The House of Representatives yesterday
afternoon passed the bill making appropria-
tons for the legislative. executive and jul
dicial branches of the government, carry
ing a total of $29.711.7O0. Before passing
the measure the House defeated the
amendment adopted In committee of the
whole striking out the appropriation for
the civil service commission. Throughout
the consideration of the bill in committee
of the whole House the civil service system
was the subject of repeated attack. When
Col. Pete Hepburn of Iowa proposed to
strike out the paragraph in question he was
supported by a majority of the members
present. Yesterday afternoon, however,
when the matter came to a record vote in
the open House, the precedent of past years
was followed, and the appropriation voted
out was voted in again. The majority by
which the civil service commission was sus-
tanned was an overwhelming one, too, al
most two to one, the final record being "
for the amendment to 112 in opposition
The House passed the committee amend
ment offered by Representative Charles
Lands restricting the use of carriages In
government service to the President. the
members of the cabinet and the secretary
to the President. The carriage question
called forth a lively debate, in which the
department officials were handled without
gloves Tor tnelr course IN turning certain.
appropriations to what was alleged to be
personal use.
The amendment to reduce the salary of
the director of the census from $4,000 to
So coo a year, adopted in the committee by
vote of 81 to AZ, was rejected IN the
House by a vote of % to II. Director
Norths salary therefore, remains at $4,000.
The amendment to increase the appropr a
tons for the salaries of the governors of
the territories of Arizona and New Mexico
to So 800 year, adopted in committee, was
rejected in the House. No other separate
votes were demanded, and the minor COM
mittee amendments were accepted. The
hope of the appropriations committee that
the measure would go through the House
without increasing the salary of single
United States official was realized when the
amendment for the benefit of the territorial
governors was voted down.
The civil service question came in for
large share of the talk during the day,
though the speeches on the subject were not
SO vehement as the day before. When the
time came for taking the vote in the open
House Representative Hepburn called for
the ayes and nays. so as to put the mem
berS on record.
