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.

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. A repetition of
the Turkish Incident Is considered possi
ble. The Dowager Empress today followed
up her friendly advances by sending ver
bal messages to several of the Ministers,
thanking them for the care they had
taken of the Palace and expressing pleas
ure at the. reception accorded by the for
eigners on the occasion of their Majesties'
entry into Pekln.
