THE MORNING OKEGONIAN, SATURDAY, JANUARY 11, 1902. BILL WAS RECOMMITTED HOUSE TOOK UP THE "SUBJECT OP PERMANENT CENSUS BUREAU. Debate Over the Civil Service Feat- are of the Measnre Substitute "Will Be Broaght la. WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. The House spent the day considering: tho Hopkins hill to create a permanent Census Bureau. While the general sentiment was In favor of a permanent bureau, there was strong opposition to the bill as drawn, on the ground that It was not well .matured. There was also an overwhelming demand or a provision to place the present em ployes of the Census Bureau under the protection of the civil service law, and the bill was finally recommitted with Instruc tions to report back a bill containing a plan for a detailed organization of a per manent Census Bureau, to include also a, provlslon to place the present employes under the civil service. At the opening of the session of the House Barney (Rep. Wis.), from the com mittee on appropriations, reported the pension bill and gave notice that he would call It up Monday, after the disposal of District of Columbia business. On motion of Hopkins (Rep. 111.), the House then went into committee of the whole and took up the consideration of the census bill. Hopkins spoke at some length in support of the bill, and was be sieged by members who wanted to know the status of the present large force of clerks In the event of the passage of the bill. He said that if the, bill passed It was hoped the other departments could absorb the present temporary clerks. They could then be placed under the protection of the civil service and transferred to other departments. If tho bill were promptly passed, the temporary clerks, by Executive order, could be made eligi ble for transfer. Several members, among them Mann (Rep. 111.) and Corliss (Rep. Mich.), sug gested that the bill be amended to pro vide that the clerks be eligible for trans i fer. Grosvenor (Rep. O.) asked if It would not be wise to authorize the President to extend the civil service law over the sur plus clerks. Hopkins replied that the subject had been canvassed by the House and Senate committees, and it had been thought euch action would not be expedient. Burkett (Rep. Neb.) opposed the bill, contending that It was Improper and In opportune and asserting that the course of the debate today demonstrated that the proposed legislation had not been well jnatured. He declared that the only per sons who had agitated the subject of a permanent Census Bureau had been the superintendents of past censuses and . others directly interested. He pointed out that a salary of $7500 was voted to the Director of the Census on the ground or the temporary character of the employ ment and the great responsibility. This bill proposed to continue this salary'- He pointed out that the experts whose oerv iccs it was found necessary to retain had been detailed front the various depart ments. Burkett said there was nothing in the bill to keep the census clerks in office. It was designed to keep only the chiefs of division and higher ofilccre In their present positions. He thought the bill should be recommitted. Crumpacker (Rep. Ind.) favored the pas sage of the bill, which, he argued, would be the first step toward putting the census upon a scientific and logical basis. Mad dox (Dem. Ga.) opposed In toto the plan of a permanent Census Bureau. Hemen way (Rep. Ind.) also opposed the bill. Sims (Dem. Tenn.) said he would propose an amendment to place the employes of the office under the civil service law. Bingham (Rep. Pa.) supported the bill. jefter some further discussion by Gil lett (Rep. Mass.), Fleming (Dem. Ga.), SMzer (Dem. N. T.) and Williams (Dem. IlL)-, Hopkins closed the general debate with an earnest plea In favor of the pas sage of the bill. The bill was then opened to amend ment, and Hemenway (Rep. Ind.) offered an amendment to provide that persons now employed In the Census Bureau, not Including Janitors, shall be eligible to ap pointment in other departments without examination or certification by the Civil Service Commission, upon the recommen dation of the head of such department. Mann (Rep. 111.) opposed the amendment because it placed no time limit on the eligibility of employes. Hemenway's amendment was adopted without division. Burkett (Rep. Neb.) then moved that the bill be reported to the House with the recommendation that it be recommitted with Instructions to report back as a sub stitute a bill providing for the detailed organization of a permanent Census Bu reau, and with a provision therein to place the present employes of the bureau within the classified service. Hopkins attempted to secure the ayes and noes on the mo tion to recommit, but only 38 members seconded his demand, not a sufficient num ber. The motion to recommit was car ried. Bromwell (Rep. O.) secured unanimous consent and the House passed the bill to give the widow of the late President Mc Klnley the franking privileges during the remainder of her life. Then, at 4:40 P. M., the House adjourned until Monday. PACIFIC CABLE. Hearing: by the Hoane Committee on Commerce. WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. The House committee on commerce today took up- the subject of a Pacific cable. The main ques tion is whether the cable shall be con structed by the Government or by pri vate parties. The hearing today was de voted to an explanation by George G. Ward, vice-president of the Commercial Pacific Cable Company, of the plant of that organization. He stated that con tracts had been made for the manufacture and laying of a cable to Honolulu by No vember 1 next, and the company Intended to extend the cable to Manila within two years from next November. The manu facture of the cable is now proceeding, he said, at the rate of 240 miles per month, and this rate would be increased to 640 miles per month. He gave the cost of the project as between $10,000,000 and $12,000, 000.. The cross-questioning by Chairman Hepburn and Messrs. Corliss and Mann tended to develop the question whether or not the company, by having an. ex clusive field, would maintain high rates. Mr. Ward gave the expected rate to Ma nila at $1, and Honolulu 33 cents to 50 cents a word. The hearing will continue tomorrow. Report on Ship Snbsldy BUI. WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.

MORE ABUSE OF ENGLAND' VIOLENT TALK BY AT 3IEMBER OF THE GERMAN REICHSTAG. Assailed the British " Army as a "3Iob of Thieves and Robbers" Wickedness of Chamberlain. BERLIN, Jan. 10. During the debate on the estimates In the Reichstag today Herr Bassermann declared that the National Liberal party would oppose any sugges tion of a loan of 33,000,WX marks to cover the deficit. Financial reform was neces. sary and the National Liberals were not averse to direct Imperial taxation. Herr Sonnenbcrg, radical anti-Semite, made a long and violent speech," Indulg ing In the Nraost bitter Invective against Mr. Chamberlain and the British army ever heard In the Reichstag. He char acterized Mr. Chamberlain as the most wicked man on God's earth. This ex pression called forth a stern rebuke from the president of the House. But Herr Sonnenberg. unabashed, assailed the British army, classing It as a "mob of thieves and robbers, unfit to be com pared with the glorious Germans." The speaker's remarks called forth further censure from the president. The Chancellor, Count von Bulow, mak ing a genera! reply, took occasion to pour oil on the recently troubled British wa ters. He spoke sharply against the abuse of Mr. Chamberlain, the British Colonial Secretary, indulged in by several mem bers since the opening of the debate, as well as against the aspersions cast on the honor of the British Army, to which the Chancellor paid a warm tribute. The Chancellor said he regretted the incident which had too long Inflamed public opin ion In both countries. He hoped that In future the endeavor to live on good and friendly relations with England would In no way be disturbed. The Chancellor concluded with an expression of approval of tho recent speech made by Prince von WolftVMetternlch, the German Ambassa dor (o Great Britain, at Hamburg, advo cating more cordial relations with Great Britain. The Chancellor, making a general reply to the preceding speakers, said: "I believe I shall be In sympathy with a very great majority of the House when I express the hope that the custom of abusing foreign ministers 'in the tribune of this august house will not become nat uralized among us. That would accord neeither with the usages of the German people nor the Interests of our policy (cheers). I must at the same time ex pres my deep regret at the way In which the last speaker referred to the army of a nation with which we live in peace and friendship. As we ourse'ves are sensi tive concerning those of our own army, so we should not abuse foreign armies in which there are brave men enough who know they have to die." (Bravos). Count von Bulow .stropgly deprecated the speech of Herr Bassermann, that the official press ought to have given the lead to public opinion In dealing with Mr. Chamberlain's speech. "Our press and public opinion," said the Chancellor, "would stand In very low repute If In questlpns of national honor they stood in need of word of command from above. I protest against the idea that repudiation of an aspersion on the army should have any effect in changing our policy. If this repudiation Is to be an excuse for forcing upon us a different attitude In regard to the war In South Africa or a pretext for bringing about unfriendly relations between our people and a people toward whom we have never stood in hostility, and to whom we are bound by weighty Interests, I wish to leave it beyond doubt that I will have nothing to do with anything of the kind. We cannot let the direction, of our foreign vellcy .be prescribed for u bv speeches, resolutions 'or popular meetings. That- policy can only be determined oy tne real and permanent Interests of the' coun try, and that Interest requires ue, while fully safeguarding our Independence, dig nity and honor, to cultivate friendly re lations with Great Britain." The Chancellor expressed his approval of the recent speech made by Prince von Wolff-Mettornlch, the German Ambassa dof advocating more cordial relations with Great Britain, and concluded with expressing regret that the malntainance of friendly relations with Great Britain had not been rendered easier by the Chamberlain incident, and hoping that In the future they would .be spared such episodes, which, did nothing toward the preservation of peace In the world. In the lobby after the adjournment of the Reichstag, Herr Sonnenberg said that he had deliberately exposed himself to be ing called to order, "wishing that the real temper of the people might at last be voiced in Its proper place." The Limit of British Patience. LONDON, Jan. 1L Count von Bulow"s second speech has quite failed to appease the English press. The Times says, with reference to the speeches of Herren Lleb ermann and Sonnenberg: "Seldom, If ever, has a friendly nation been so grossly Insulted in a foreign Par liament, and never within our memory has insult met with such mild rebuke from the representative of a friendly power with whom he professes to desire the maintenance of good relations, as Coun.. ; von Bulow thought sufficient to Inflict on Herr Sonnenberg. "Even brigands and thieves may know how to die. What we have a right to ex pect from the Minister of a friendly state is a definite- repudiation of the calumnies uttered in his hearing. With regard, not to the British soldiers, dead, but to those who are living, -we must state frankly and emphatically that the limit of British pa tience will be overstepped If Count von Bulow imagines he can court British friendship and at the same time use the King's uniform in which our kinsmen are fighting honorably in South Africa in or der to wipe his feet upon it." A HITCH AT PEKIN. Demands Presented by the French Minister to China. PEKIN, Jan 10. The French Minister, M. Beau, refuses to present his creden tials until China fulfills certain demands of the French Government. The joint audience of the foreign and new Chinese Ministers, which had been arranged, had been postponed because of M. Beau's ac tion. His colleagues are discussing wheth er to support him or not.
