ill BILL
CIVIL SERVICE LAW CONSIDERED
IN THE HOUSE.
Strongly Denounced by the Re
publicansThe Naval Appropria
tion Bill Receives Considerable
Attention.
Wa.-hlntfton. I- C.. Ft'-. 21. In tho
F-nat t'wKiy a r-.luti'n was offered
by Mr. Mill I -in rat. of Texa) ami
was airn-l to r-iUMlni? th President
tu furnish a statement f the farts
cn rnintf tn arrest. Imprisonment
anl dath of Ir. Kieardo Kuiz in a Cu
tan Jail.
The Vi"- President laid before the
Senate a report from the Secretary
of Stat as to j.. rons claiming to Ie
American citizens, who were captured
on board the Corn irti tor. Referred to
the o-mmittee on foreign relations.- The
report contains nothing new, Secretary
Oln-y stating 'practically all the in
formation culled for by the resolution"
had !een submitted to the Senate Jan.
22 last and that since that date nothing
had taken place of consequence either
In the way of information received or
CorresiMindence exchanged.
Practically the entire day was con
sumed In a discussion of an amend
ment in the Indian appropriation bill
for the opening to settlement of the
Uncompaghre Indian reservation In
Utah, containing over 2,000.000 acres.
The amendment was resisted by Mr.
Vilas (Democrat, Wisconsin), principal
ly on the grounds that it was in the
Interest of rich corporations who were
engaged in the business of extracting
asphaltum and gilsonite, of which ther
are large and valuable deposits in the
reservation. Before abandoning the
fight. Mr. Vilas proposed an amend
ment looking, to the survey of these
mineral lands and their division into
lots which were then to be leased for
twenty-live years, a royalty of so much
per tn to Ik? paid to the government.
This was fought by Mr. llrown (Repub
lican. I'tah) as entirely at variance
. with- the mining laws of the country
and with the interests of the people. It
was defeated: and then the original
amendment, somewhat moditied. was
agreed to. That one paragraph was the
only paragraph which the Senate made
on the appropriation bill. It was laid
aside at 4::: and the Senate proceeded
to the consideration of executive busi
ness and shortly afterward adjourned
until tomorrow at 11 a. rn.
The House, late this afternoon, ran
unexpectedly into an interesting an
possuly significant discussion of the
civil serviie law. It came about by th
consideration of a bill to amend the re
. vised statutes, so as to give the gover
ness of territories the pwoer to re
move as well as to appoint certain ter
ritorlal otacers.
. It was participated in by a dozen
members or more, nearly all of whom
criticised and condemned the civil ser
vice law, it finding its only defenders
In Representative Rosius (Republican
I'enn.) and Walker (Republican. Mass.
Mr. tiros venor (Rep.. Ohio) denounced
the law as a "Sinuous, infamous con
Fpiracy uion the government." and ex
pressed the opinion that a tide was ris
Ing in this country, which would sweet
itureaucracy from power. Mr. Bailey
or Texas, denounced the system as
humbug, and said the reason why the
Democratic party did not repeal the
law, when it had the power, was that
It did not have sense enough.
Mr. Ilrosius deprecated the enti-
ments of Mr. (irosvenor and of the Re
publican applause, which their utter
ance evoked, saying that, in view of
Major McKinley's well-known attitude
toward the merit system. It seemed to
him "a fleshing of a sword In the heart
of the Iresident-elect." The bill that
Started the debate was passed.
Most of the session was spent in con
sideration of the naval appropriation
bill. Mr. Barrett (Rep.. Mass.) criti
cised the bill for its failure to make ap
propriation for what he deemed to be
one of the most Important parts of the
service, the construction of dry-docks.
and he moved an amendment author
Izing one to be built at the Boston
Navy-Yard, to cost not exceeding one
million dollars. He made an extended
speech in support of the amendment,
which was followed by a long and
somewhat acrimonious debate, but it
was finally defeated, only about half
a dozen memWrs supporting it. The
bill was passed as it came from the
Committee on Naval Affairs.
senate urns were passed granting a
pension to the widow of the late Gen
eral Thomas L. Casey. Chief of Engin
errs, w ith -an amendment reducing the
amount from J.j to J50 per month: also
authorizing the Montgomery, Hayne
ville and Camden Railway Company to
build a bridge across the Alabama river
between Lower Peachtree and Mary
Bluff.
At 3:13 P. M.. the House adjourned
until to-morrow.

INDIAN
APPROPRIflTC
REFORM PRE
MEETS IN NATIONAL CONVENTION
MEMPHIS.
AT
Gen. Coxey a Delegate After Careful In
vestigation Ex-President Vandervoort Is
Vindicated.
Memphis. Tenn., Feb. 21. The mem
bers of the Reform I'ress Association
met to-day shortlj after 10 o'clock. J.
S. Coxey. of Masslllon. Ohio, reached
here to-day, and Is taking an active
part in the proceedings. This morning9
session was hardly started when Sec
retary Parker, of Louisville, threw a
bombshell Into the delegates. He stat
ed that serious charges had been mad?
by the Nebraska State Association
against ex-President Paul Vander
voort. He was charged with being a
Republican spy In the Populist ranks.
Mr. Vandervoort. in an Impassioned
jsj-f h. demanded that a committee be
appointed to investigate the charges.
After considerable discussion, a com
mittee consisting of Mays, of Washing-,
ton; McDowell, of Tennessee, and Fer
guson, of Texas, was appointed.
The afternoon session opened with
the report of the Committee on Charges
against Vandervoort. It declared that
not a single charge made had been
"sustained, and that the attack was
prompted solely on account of Vander
voort's refusal to agree to support the
national fusion of Bryan and'Sewall.
made In the Prelsdentlal canvas of 1S&6.
but that he did support the Bryan and
Watson ticket, with the so-called Dem
ocratic party, and which we hold he
had a perfect right to do. Secretary
Kdgerton charges that General Van
dervoort is a Republican, and not a
Populist, and to sustain his charge, re
cites that fact that he held office undei
the appointment of a Repubjjcan ad
ministration in 1S95."
The committee meets with a letter
from Edgerton, using his influence t
procur.e the aforesaid appointment, also
that the Nebraska law requested police
commissioners to be chosen from the
two dominant parties, and that Vander
vort went in as the Populist represen
tative. The committee eulogizes Van
dervoort and condemns his accusers for
their failure to attend the investiga
tion and face the accused. The report
was adopted unanimously.
The balance of the afternoon session
was devoted to hearing a stream of
elaborate resolutions, one set of which
favored amendment of the constitution
of the United States to bring about
government ownership of railways, tel
epraphs. etc., along the lirie of the usual
Populist doctrines.

picture, ine Acauemy is noiea ior new
