General Mistchenkow reports that on March r, our scouts approached Anu. and observed on the left bank of the Cheng-Cheng' river, opposite Angu intrenchments made by the enemy. Up to that date the enemy had not ap- peared at Yong Pyon (ifteen miles northeast of Anju and that the remain der of the first army corps is at Ping Yang.

The List of COngreSSmen EntangIed With MaChen
A COMMITTEE REQUEST
The Investigation Shows, Though,
 That the Department Was Keeping Tab on Congressmen Before the
 Committee Asked for Information.

Washington, March 22.-The McCa committee today y-contjrued its inVesti- gation of the indictments of the msm- bers of the house by Ihe postoffice de- partment. First Assistant Postmaster General Wynne, Charles N. Waters, su- perintendent of the salaries and allow ance division, and Chlrfes P. Granfeld, assistant superintendent of that diviz- ion. were before the committee.
 MT. Wvnne was the first to be heard. After calling his attention to the list of names of congressman in the spe- cial report, MT. Mccall asked MT Wynne what knowledge he had of this report. In reply MT. Wynne said: 'The first knowledge of the committee on pOstoifices and post roads had of the existence of such list was in state ment made by Mr. Waters before the committee in explanation of apprcpr.- ations for separating service.
 When this service was reached in the hearing, the chairman or some member of the committee asked MT Waters how many of these allowances had been discontinued. He said there had been about 900. My recollection is that another question was asked, if there was a list of these discontinued allowances, and he answered that there was"
 This, MT. Wynne said, was on Janu- ary I1th. MT. Wynne said the next time the list came to his attention was on January 25th, when the postmaster general showed him a letter from Chairman Overstrcet. This letter re- quested all information which could be communicated by the fourth assistant postmaster general with reference to allowances for clerk hire, and leas S, which had been made to members of congress.
 The postmaster general instructed Mir Wyrne tC procure the list. MT. Waters was sent for fy MT. Wynne. He produced the list and Mir. Wynne said that it contained the names Of sen- atOrs, members of congress and other.'.
 "I called this to the attention of thc postmaster general" said MT. Wynne, and on my statement that it Woull not be right to couple the names of these gentlemen with Beavers and Ma chen, he agreed with me-
 The names were eliminated and tha list was sent to MT Overstreet without them. The next day the postmaster general informed MT. Wynne that this was not satisfactory and a letter from MT. Overstreet eslling for detailed in- formation was read to the committee Acting under orders from the pcstmas- ter general, the preparation of the printed list WAS begun. As to making the record complete by copying eacr letter in every case in full would make 2 large document, and Mir Wynne sug- gested to the postmaster general ar abbreviated statement. This was as sented to anI when a number of eases had been prepared, they were submit ted 10 the postmaster general and by him to MT. Overstreet. This was eX- actly what was wanted, he was told

THE CIVIL SERVICE
A Senatorial Disposition to
 Restrict It
Proposition to Relieve Parts of the In- dian Service on the Ground That It Is Worse Than Useless.

Washington, March 22.-The first discussion in the senate in connection with the Indian appropriations bill arose today over the house provision permitting sUperintenGents of Indian schools to act as Indian agents. MT Spooner called attention to the fact that school superintendents are ap- pointed as the result Of the civil scr vice examinations, whereas Indian agents are appointed by the president and confirmed by the senate. He said that to adopt the provision would be for the senate to. surrender it's func- tions in the selection of agents. The { provision was defended by. Messrs. Stewart, Dubois and Platt of Conn, as calculated to promote economy and relieve confusion in the conduct of business at agencies.
 The provision was amended by strik- ing out the word Thereafter" which has the effect of confining the orera- tion of the clause to the next fiscal year.
 ] MT. Lodge made a point of order against the committee amendment re- lieving the Indian agency farmers from | civil service examination. Messrs. Stewart, McCumter, Teller and Tlatt, of Conn, contended that the provision Is necessary in order to procure eff. . cient service, and said that a collegiate education was not necessary to effici- ency in teaching agriculture to h. dians.
 MT. German criticized the provision as showing a tendency to get away from the requirements of civil service law. He referred to reported utter ances by Admiral Walker in favor of suspension of the law in its applica- tiOn to the isthmian canal commission
 MT. Spooner supported the amend ment, saying that to require farmers and stOckmen for the Indians to pass civil service examination is absolute nonsense and away beyond the in.en- ton of the original civil service re- formers.
 MT. German said he agreed largely with MT. SpOoner's view, but con gress should not act by peace meal 1T modifying the civil service law.
 At MT. Lodges request, the amend ment, together with enc of similar nature relating to the employment ol matrons at Indian agencies, was pass ed over.
 Committee amendments authorizing the omn;lSSloner or Indian affairs tt exercise supervision of the renting o hcmesteads and surplus lands by the Creek, Choctaw, Chickasaw ant Cherokee Indians in Indian Territory requiring the recording of all leases o land by allottees of the five civilized tribes and authorizing the secretary oi the interior to dispossess Iesseeg uIdcI leases obtained through fraud or by inadequate consideration were stricker from the bill on points of order

Any Member Who the President Be- lieves Is Lacking in the Highest De- gree of Efficiency Will be Replaced by a Better Man.

Washington, March 22.-The follow ing words preface the general instruc- tions to the members of the isthmian canal commission contained in a letter from President Roosevelt today:
 "I have appointed you as the com mission which is t0 undertake the most important and also the most formid able engineering feat that has hitherto been attempted. You are to do a work the doing of which, if well done, will reflect high honor upon this nation, and when done will be of incalculable benefit. not only to this nation, but to civilized mankind. As you yourselves must individually know, I have chosen you with reference to nothing save my belief, after full and patient inquiry, that you are among the most available men of whom I have knowledge, as the best fitted to bring this great task to successful conclusion.
 You have been chosen because Cf your personal and professional repu- tatiOns for integrity and ability. You represent the whole country, You represent neither section nor party. have not sought to find out the pOli- ties of a single one of you, and indeed, as to the majority of you I have not the slightest idea of what your politi- cal affiliations are. I believe that each one of you will serve, not merely with entire fidelity, but with the ut most efficiencv.
 If at any time feel that any of ycu is not rendering the best service which ] it Is possible to procure I shall feel called upon to disregard alike my feel | ings for the man and the mans own 1 feelings and forthwith substitute for ] him On the commission some other man whom I deem capable of rendering bet 1 ter service. Moreover, I shall expect. | if at any time any one. of you feels | that the work is too eXhausting aud l expressing for him to do in the best possible manner, that he will of his | own accord so inform me, in order 1 that I may replace him by some one who has the requisite ability, joining will and strength to give all the effort needed. But so long as you render efficient service of the highest type in the work you are appointed to perform you may rest assured of my hearty support and backing in every way. 1 "These are the conditions undei which you have been appointed and under which I shall expect you to pro- ceed. l shall furthermore expect you to apply precisely the same principles in the choice and retention of the sub nrdinates, who do the work under yor as I have applied in your choice an shall apply in your retention"
 The letter concludes: The plan: are to be carefully made with a view tt the needs not only of the moment. bL
 of the future. Expenditures are to b' supervised as vigorously as if thel
 were being made for a private corpnr
 dtion dependent for it's profit upon tn. returns. You are to secure the bes
 talent that the country can afford, U
 meet the conditions created by ever! need which may arise. The method
 for achieving results must be yours
