AN ALLEGED COMPROMISE WAS MADE
In ti e V. Jst of the House Chios, Civil Service
Got Some Hot Shot Dingley Twitted
With a $40,000,000 Deficit--
Ihe Senate.
Washington, Dec. 7.—The session o£
the l.ouse to-day, though it lasted but
two hours, witnessed a very lively sku’ut
over the ques.ion of distributing
tiie President's message to the various
committees clothed with jurisdiction
over the subjects dealt with. The con
flict of authority came between the \\ ays
and Means committee and the Banking
and Currency committee.
During the debate Gen. Grosvenor, of
Ohio, tired the first gun against the civil
service law and this also brought the
friends and enemies of that measure iu
to action. It was noticeable that the
galleries seemed to sympathize with the
anuonents of the measure.
lU-v. Henry Couden. the regular chap
lain who deliver'd the invocation to-day.
in his appeal to the throne of grace, ask
ed for die divine blessing upon the Pres
ident in his hour of trial and anxiety.
The President’s message transmitting
the report of the special commission on
the Paris International Exposition in
s*loo and recommending a liberal appro
priation for our representation at the
exposition, was laid before the House.
Mr. Dingley, from the Committee on
Ways and Means then presented a reso
lution adopted by that coinmitte for the
distribution of the massage
to the several committees having juris
diction of the various subjects treated.
M-. Walker, (Repnbli. n of Massachu
setts) Chairman of tin Banking and Cur
rency Committee, asked for a re-reading
of that portion of the resolution giving
the Ways and Means committee juris
diction of all the portions relating to
“the revenues, the national finances, the
public debt and the preservation of the
public credit.”
A very considerable debate followed
upon what the I n gunge of the resolution
meant and the issue as to jurisdiction
of the currency problem as between the
Ways and Means and the Banking and
Currency was sharply raised.
Before the debate, whh-h lasted over
m hour, has been concluded, the House
was plunged into a debate on the cur
rency problem. Mr. Walker, after the
re-reading of the resolution, asked with
some heat what was left to his commit
tee.
Mr. Dingley ropllod suavely that nil
matters relating to hanking and curren
cy under the resolution would co to the
Banking and Currency committee.
It becoming nnparent that. debate
would bp required to dispose of the ques
tion at issue. Mr. Dingley and Mr.
Bailey arranged for 30 minutes on a
e’de.
Mr. Walker then got the floor and in
dignantly protested that if the questions
relating to onr legal tender money which
lay at the very foundation of onr cur
rency and banking laws. w«re to come
rnder the jurisdiction of the Ways and
’Means committee, the eommitfee on
Banking and Currency m’srM as well be
dissolved. He avowed that in the last
Congress bis committee had steadily
been disregarded. Its monitors had

be said, and when at last Coy wpre al
lowed to bring in a bill the previous
question bad been demanded without
permission for dohato nod bo bad boon
allowed to address the House only by
unanimous consent.
Mr. Dot (Democrat, r TVnr>e« e ’ee), the
senior Democratic member n r the Cur
rency committee, seconded the protest
es Mr. Waikor. The President’s reeom-
TToridations as to the National bank cir
enlation, ho said, were inextricably in
terwoven with the proposition to retire
the greenbacks. Ts the Banking and
durrmaev committee* was to do anything.
sie submitted that its hands should not
be tied.
Mr. Wheeler (Democrat, Alabama) at
this point got the floor and used a few
minutes *o a plea fo** a government nr
mor p’ate plant in Alabama. Ho was
followed by Mr. Cro«vonor (Republican,
Ohio), who diverted the whole course of
the debate bv an attack on the civil ser
vice law, which was several times on
thnsiastieally appended both by mem
bers on the floor and spectators in the
galleries. At the outset he repudiated
the idea that opposition to the civil ser
vice law involved an affront to the
President. Pongress was empowered to
deal with the subject, and the Presi
dent had referred it to Congress. TTe
heartily agreed with the President “that
there were places in the classified Ber
rien w'tich onght to be pTn~.pt”
Mr. Grosvenor declared tVj,t he had
Kept in touch with the segment of the
ennntrv. and that if the question were
submitted to the peonle west, of the Al
legheny mountains it would be burled
under their overwhelming condemna
tion. His remarks in denunciation of
“life tenure in office” were met with
•onroarious applause from the ga’lerics.
fn which many members on the floor
heartily inined.
Mr. Rroslos (Republican, Pennsyl
vania). the chairman of the committee
en Givi! Service, defended the law and
fho Prectdeyf’p interpretation of it.
Mr. Bailey (Democrat. Texas) com
mended Mr. Orosvonnr’s utterances
against building nn an office-holding
class in this country—a doctrine, he
said, which was almost Uterallr em
bodied in the Chicago platform. (Demo
era tie nnnlanse.)
“That is the only good feature of that
platform,” ejaculated Mr. Steele (Re-
Yk* fMHtefit tiga&tty* iff iir
b«*er*rf wctfptt at QA&TQMJA
publican. Indiana), amid laughter on the
Republican side.
“1 am glad to relieve the other ide
of the charge of total depravity,’’ re
torted Mr. Bailey to this thrust.
Mr. Wheeler (democrat,of Kentucky),
avowed himself a spoilsman in sympathy
with the proposition to repeal the law,
and Mr. Fitzgerald (democrat, Massa
chusetts), chided the republicans for
the'.r attempt to break down the law.
Mr. Johnson, (republican, Indiana),
after some opening remarks about the
stupendous folly of appointing a Bime
tallic Commission to roll over Europe,
made a strong speech in defense of the
civil service law.
He charged General Grosvenor with
being deriliet to his duty as a republican
and warned bis colleagues that if they
put through a hill in antagonism to the
law it v end he vetoed.
Mr. Cochran (Democrat, M'ssonri), in
a satirical speech, spoke of the injustice
of turning over a subject which Mr.
Walker had freely admitted he knew
all about to Mr. Dhigk.v, who had fat li
med a tariff hill that lia I already pro
duced a £40,000,000 deficit.
Mr. Band (1 ennerat, Missouri), aver
red that it was well umfi r.dood that
nothing would be done with the cur
rency problem, and Mr. Bodi tie (demo
crat, Missouri), alleged that the civil
service law was a humbug which the
wrest and south opposed.
During the progress t>f the debate.
Messrs. Walker and Johnson had con
sulted with Mr. Dingley and a mod lien
tion of the resolution of distribution
was agreed upon. It struck out the
words “the national finances, the pub'.i
debt, the preservation of the government
credit,' and gave the Ways and Means
committee jurisdiction over all matter?
in the nuvsage relating "to the revenue,
the bonded debt of the United States
and to the treaties of the United State?
affecting the revenue.” When this
amendment was presented the opposi
tion withdrew and the resolution was
adopted without division.
The house then at 2 o’clock adjourned
After the session Chairman Walke
•lalmed he had won a decisive victor}
and that h's cominitt e under the ordci
would have jurisdiction of a men suit
to, no he expressed it, “convert tb<
greenbacks into gold certificates,” but
members of the Ways and Means com
in it tee insisted that the changes oi
verbiage in the order would not after
their jurisdiction, and that a measure
such as the president suggested, if in
t"educed in the house, would be referred
v the speak r to the r committee.
SENA! E I’KOCEKDINGS.
Washington. D. C.. December 7.—A
new member, in Mr. H. DeS. Money, of
Mi.ssi Mppi. was introduced in the Sen
ate to-day at, ! . after some brief criti
cism of the form of Ins credentials, the
oath of office was administered to him.
Mr Money was assigned to the seat
formerly occupied by Mr. Daniel, of Vir
ginia, the latter securing the seat in the
center of the Democratic side which was
occupied by the late Senator George.
The invocation at the opening of the
session was delivered by the Rev.
Charles A. Berry, I). D., of Wolver
hampton. England, lie prayed that the
Almighty might take into Ilis care all
the interests of the nation, that from
this nation may emanate such feelings
of brotherhood as would be a blessing
to all mankind.
During the session 108 bills, many of
which were private pension measures,
were introduced, in addition to several
joint resolutions and Senate resolutions.
Mr. Morrill, the venerable Senator
from Vermont, had the distinction of
introducting the first bill, providing for
the gilding of the statue of liberty on
the dome of the capitol.
Mr. Turpie (Indiana) asked that at 3
o’clock Friday, December 17th, exercises
lie held in. memory of the Hon. Win. S.
Holman, late a representative in Con
gress from Indiana. The order was
made.
Mr. Tillman presented a resolution,
which was adopted, fixing Tuesday, Jan
uary 18th, at 2 p. in., as a time for me
morial service for the late Jos. S. Earle,
a Senator from South Carolina.
Mr. Pettigrew (South Dakota) secured
the passage of a resoluion calling ujion
the inter-State Commerce Commission
to furnish the Senate a list of the rail
road companies which have complied
wholly, in part or not at all with the
law of Congress providing that safety
appliances lie affixed to railroad cars;
the resolution also calls for the total
ntiinl>er of persons killed by the rail
roads during the past year.
An interesting contest for precedence
in consideration between Mr. Lodge's
immigration bill and the proposed legis
lation to confer authority upon the
President to act for the Government’s
interest at the sale of the Kansas Pa
cific railroad was pending at the close
of the session. The probability is that
it will be amicably arranged before the
Senate convenes to-morrow.
Pending the consideration of the im
migration and Kansas Pacific matter,
Mr. Carter (Montana), chairman, of the
Census committee, requested that the
measure providing for the federal cen
sus of 1001), reported to the Senate at
the last session, oe recommitted to the
committee.
To this Mr. Chandler, the author of
the bill, objected, but after some expla
nation by Mr. Carter the bill was re
committed as requested. The Senate
at 1:35 adjourned.
