Senator Chauncey NJ. Depew, whC
has been variousIy reported at differ
ent sanitariums. is in reality at his
home in New York city. and is a very
sick man.
Senator Platt who made this state
rnent this morning, says that Senator
Depew is receiving no callers wh2te' er
He himself was in New York on
Wednesday and Thursday Of last week
and endeavored 70 see his colleague,
but without success
1t is his understanding that Mr. De
pew will not return to Washington his
session. Many intimate friends doubt
whether he viii ever return.
Senator DePew is another dtStin-
guished victim OF the examination into
Insurance methods by the ArmStronS
legislative committee, and the expos
ures that followed. The report that
he is not very sick. simply indispOsed,
is hardly borne out from an incident of
the late Statehood fight that has just
come TO light
Senator Depew was known to be op-
posed to the union of Arizona and NesS
Mexico, and the manager OF the anti
ioinder fight desired exceedingly to pair
him with some friend of the measure

Incumbents Criticised.

He said the service contained large
number of able and intelligent men and
a large number of incompetent men.
The former were animated by a high
purpose to discharge their duty to the
best OF their ability, and the latter by an
equal purpose TO do as little as they can,
and to do that in the most slipshod
way.
I'VE are reaching a new era." said
the Secretary. THE country no longer
lives within itself, but the great arms of
it's commerce are stretching across the
seas to other shores. The consular serv-
ice demands the best men.
II pledge to you thst the President
and the State Department will do all
that in them lies to accomplish this
most desirable result"

Believes Congress Will
Early Consider Neces-
Sary Reforms.
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED
Convention Accepts Bill
Passed by Senate as Best
Under Circumstances.

The consular bill finally passed by the
Senate and now about to be reported in
the House was approved in full this
morning by the Consular Reform Con-
vention, in session at the New Willard.
The resolutions adopted recognize and
deplore several deficiencies in the bill,
but accept It as a step in the right d.
rection and urge that it become law.
The convention was addressed by Sec
retary Of State Root. who discussed the
reeds or the consular service.
The resolutions adopted are in the
form Of a memorial TO Congress. After
reciting the representative character of
the organization and its right to speak
for the business interests of the coun-
try. the resolutions say:
1t is ne opinion of the constituent
bodies Of this convention that the con-
sular service Of the United States
should be rscrganized as provided for
in Senate bill 1345. introduced by Sena-
tor Lodge, December II, 1905. Every
feature Of that bill is, in the judgment
Of the business organizations Of thc
country. most essential and in harmony
with the growing needs OF the United
| States.
Your petitioners regret. therefore,
/ that some Of the most vital provisions
! of that bill have been removed from it
/ but they none the less recognize as a
step in the right direction the improve
ments 10 be made ia the service by the
/ bill as amended and as passed by The
| Senate. January 80. In view Of the
| gravity Of the interests involved. they
| earnestly demand that that bin be
! passed at this session Of the Congress
Your petitioners deprecate that the
bill as reported by the Committee on
Foreign Az irs of the House of Repre-
sentativ,s eliminates the provision
authoriZ lg the President to transfer
consuls from one post 10 another in the
! same grade This is a most desirable
| feature. and your petitioners earnestly
beg that it be reincorporated in the
! bill"

SENATE MAY WIN
ON STATEHOOD BILL
House Shows Disposition to
Accept Changes.
MIXED WITH RATE FIGHT
Republican Representatives Will Follow
Cannon IN Opposition if Measure
Prove Weapon Against President.

II voted with the Speaker and the Ad-
ministration TO pass the joint Statehood
bill" declared a leading House member
from q. Western State today. but 1 viii
not vote TO oppose concurrence in the
Senate bill. never believed in the joint
Statehood measure, and the Senate's
action represents exactly what 1 would
have wished IL could have dictated the
House measure. Therefore, shall enter

bers 10 reject the Senate bill
MY conversations with other members
who feel as 1 do. and who, like myself
first stood with the Speaker. convince
me that he will never be able to line up
the House and dissent from the Senate
amendments
Opinion Is Common
Similar expressions of opinion by sew
eraI have been heard within the last few
davs, indicating that the House man
ayers will have great difficulty in again
defeating the Statehood insurgents.
Said another Representative. who like
wise represents a considerable element of
House Republicans:
II never liked the joint Statehood
proposal. and voted with the organiza-
| ton. because ! was willing to be regu-

ri-ht | should certainly stand for con-

| that the Senate opponents of the whole
Presidentiar program are using this
measure to preak down the President
| ali along the line. If ] can be con-
vinced that this is true. shall vote to
noncoDcur in the Senate amendments.
eft is undoubtedly true that the men
who secured the sweeping changes in
/ this bill while IL was in the Senate are
also the men who are against the Presi-
dert on the rate measure. II. by de-
/ feeting the Administration on Statehood

Ohio Representative.
LIFE TENURE CRITICISED
Money Wasted and Government Grip
pied Is What the Speaker
Told the House

Mr.. Grosvenor Of Ohio today spoke on
the legislative, executive. and judicial
bill. He said that vile he had long
known of the evils ara iniquities IN the
civil service. but admitted surprise at
the extent of them. as shown by the biii
and the discussion He said these con-
ditions resulted in throwing away an
nually more money than was involved in
the ship subsidy bill.
He declared the committee was trying
20 cure a great evil, but was on the
wrong track. His discussion VIZ a criti-
cism Of the whole civil service system.
which he believed responsible for the
evils that now astound the House and
the public.
Opportunity has been sought and reg
ularly denied, TO stem this tide of in
competency that nov threatens TO
swamp the whole civil service

Secretary Roots Address.

Secretary Root was introduced 10 the
convention by Charles A. Schieren. OF
Brooklyn. The Secretary OF State began
his remarks by expressing the gratitude
OF the officers OF every branch OF the
National Government for the manifesto
tons of citizen interest in great policies
and movements.
1t is especially desirable, he said. the
business interests OF the country should
manifest their opinion on such subjects
as that OF the reform of the consular
service. with which the prosperity OF the
United States is intimately connected.
IN my opinion" said the Secretary.
both branches OF Congress, despite as
sertions and current belief TO the con-
trary. are most intimately and accurate
" responsive to the public will. If the
people of this country really and anx-
iously desire the enactment of any piece
Of legislation. it is almost beyond doubt
that this legislation will be enacted.
II they do not really want It, all the
resolutions that can be piled in bushel
baskets win have little or no effect.
The Washington times., 1906-03-14
Both Houses Interested.

The committees of both the Senate
and House have given the matter of
consular reform the most earnest and
careful consideration. 1 believe they
recognize the public demand for this
reform and L cannot but hope, with
great confidence, that the action of this
convention will aid in assuring them of
the reality and strength of the public
will.
Il think the bill which has passed
the Senate and is about to be reported
in the House is q good bill. l think it
will make a decided Improvement in the
existing status and viii greatly IA
cilitate public Improvement along the
same line. 1 hope this convention will
approve the legislation already enacted
by Congress.
Secretary Root said the consular serv-
ice is a most uneven service. 1t was
established, he said, under conditions
very different from those that prevail
today.

Life Tenure of Office.

Life tenure of office is the basis of
this condition. and it is the fundamental
of the present civil service system. Now
comes a report that wisn the law just
as its friends have wanted, there are go
above seventy years of age of whom 1t
Is impossible to be rid. The real trouble
is life tenure. Without a civil pension,
