WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. The houso spent
tho May considering tho Hopkins till?, tp
create a permanent census bureau. Whllo
tho,, genornl sentiment was In favor of u
permanent bureau, there was strong oppo
sition to tho bill as drawn, ou tho ground
'thnt It was not well matured. There also
was an overwhelming demand for a pro
vision to placo tho present employes of
thu census bureau under tho protection of
tho civil service law nnd the- bill finally
was recommitted with Instructions to re
port back a blU containing a plan for a
detailed organization of a permanent cen
sus bureau to Include also a provision to
place the present employes under the civil
service. The fight to recommit was madu
under tho leadership of Mr. Uurkctt of
Nebraska, tho new- member of tho appro-
rirlatlonu committee.
A ,blll was passed unanimously to glvo
Mrs. McKlnley tho frco mailing privilege
during tho remainder of her llfo. Tho
houso then adjourned untlt Monday,

At the opening of tho session IJarncy
of Wisconsin, from tho committee on ap
propriations, reported tho pension bill and
gavo notice that ho would call It up on
Monday after tho disposal of District of
Columbia business.
On motion of Hopkins of Illinois tho
houso then went Into commltteo of the
whole nnd took up tho consideration of ,tho
bill to create a permanent census office.
Hopkins, In support of tho bill, ex
plained hat tho subject of. establishing n
permanent bureau hnjl. bocn ngltated for
many yenrs. General Francis A. Walker,
superintendent of the Ninth nnd Tenth
censuses, and Porter, superintendent of tho
hlcvcnth census; as well art tho nresent
director, united In strongly recommending
it ou tho ground thnt It would not only
decrease tho cost, but would Increase tho
value of the results.
In reply to questions Honklns sold that
3.IG.0 clerks had been employed In the
bureau, 2,, 00 being still employed,, If tho
pending bill passed, ho said,, the force would
bo t educed 4thls year to 800, next year to
iSU, in 1903 to 500 and thereafter to 200.
He was besieged by members who wanted
to know the status of tho present clerks In"
tho event of tho passugo of tho bill. Ho
paid that 4f tho bill pnBscd It was honed

ent temporary clerks. They could then bo

eral members, among vthe'm Manning of
Illinois ntid Corliss of Michigan, suggested
that tho bill be nmended to provide that the
clerks bo eligible for transfer.
a Ilnrkrtt In ftiMinnltlon.
Grosvenor of Ohio asked If It would not
bo wise to authorize tho president to ex
tend tho civil service law1 over tho surplus
clerks. Hopkins replied that tho subject
had been canvassed h'y the houso and sen
ate commltteo and It had been thought that
such action would not bo expedient.
Durkett of Nebraska opposed tho bill,
contending that It was Improper and Inop
portune and assorting that tho course of
tho debato today demonstrated that the
proposed legislation had not, been well ma
tured. Ho declared that the only persons
who had agitated the subjoct of n perma
nent census had boon the superintendents
of past censuses and others dlrcctlyJnter
csted. ,
Ho pointed out that a salary of $7,500
was voted to tho director of census on the
ground of the temporary character of the
employment nnd tho greoj responsibility.
This bill proposed to continue this salary.
Ho pointed out that tho experts whoso
services It was claimed It waa so neces
sary to retain, had boon detailed from tho
various departments.
Mr. Durkett 'said thero was nothing In
tho bill to keep tho census clerks In office.
It was designed to kcop only tho chiefs of
division and higher ofllcers In thplr present
positions, lie thought tho bill should bo
recommitted.
Mr. Crumpnckor of Indiana favored tho
passage , of ha. bill, which, he argued, would
bo tho first step 'toward putting tho cons.ua
upon 'r. sclontlflc and logical basis.
Mr. Maddox oflGcorgla waa opposed to the
plan of n pcr,mancntccnsus bureau.
Opened for AiiiiiidinMitfi. -
Mr Hemenway of Indiana also opposed
tho bill. Mr.Slms of Tennesson said ho
would proposo an amendement to place the
employes of tho office under tho civil service
law,
Mr. Dlngham of Pennsylvania supported
tho bill.
Tho bill waB then opened to amendment
and Mr. Hemenway of Indiana offered an
nmondmcnt to provldo that persons now
employed In tho census bureau, not In
cluding Janitors, shnll bo eligible to ap
pointment In othor departments without ex
amination or without certification by tho
Civil Servlco commission upon tho recom
mendation frpm tho head of such depart
ment. Mr. Mann of Illinois opposed the amend
ment, because It placed no time limit on
tho eligibility of employes.
The Hemonway amendmont was adopted.
Mr. Durkett then moved that the bill bo
reported to tho house with tho recommenda
tion that It bo recommitted, with Instruc
tions to report back as a substitute n bill
providing for the detailed organization of n
permanent census bureau, nnd with n pro
vision therein to placo tho present em
ployes of the bureau within tho classified
service.
Mr. HopklnB nttempted to socuro the
ayes and nays on tho motion to recommit,
but only thirty-eight members seconded his
domund not a sutllclcnt number.
Tho motion to recommit was carried.
Mrj. Dromwoll of Ohio secured unanimous

A farmer with his out of door work

"I have spent n very considerable amount

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 10. It Is believed
that tho' arbitration difficulty In tho Pan
Amorlcan conference has finally been dis
posed of, though It Is uncertain how tho
Chileans will net-
Tho solution Is to bo found In the sup
pression of the final protocol, for which
purpose a modification of the rules of the
conference will bo accessary. "For his pur-
poso a two-thirds vote will be needed, but
it Is nlrendy practically assured. Tho sup"
presslon of tho final protocol Is the only
concession that will be' raad to the Chi
leans. Its significance Is elmply that the
treaties approved by tho conference will
only bear tho signatures of the delegations
who ndopl them. The final protocol would
have to bear tho signatures of all the dele
gations, without exception, nnd It would
bo a rcsumo of all tho treaties concluded
by tho .conference, Including that of com
pulsory arbitration, signed by ion delcga
tlons. Overcome Difficulty for Clillenna.
Therefore, as the Chileans would have
hnd to sign tho final protocol with tho
other delegations, they would hnvo been
placed In the position of Indirectly sanc
tioning the plan of Compulsory arbitration.
Now, however, If the final protocol Is abol
ished, this dimculty will bo overcomo. and
It Is held that the Chileans will bo evincing
exccsslvo , sensitiveness If they persist In
withdrawing.
One of them, when nsked lofilght by the

Would do It Ihe compulsory plan went to

After speaking of tho consented stnto of

said: "A curyul examination of tho rail

will, I believe, show beyond question that
tho business of tho country has outgrown

nnd that new facilities not now apparent
will bo necessary to relievo tho situation,

Nothing but the Increased volumo of traffic
has mado It posslblo to reduco rates as thoy

tho railways are not liable to movo It under
the present conditions. How will these
conditions bo changed and at whoso cost?
Who will build new lines or Increaso old

undortnko to answer farther than to say
that tho west must have tho facilities or
Buffer for tho want of them, Tho public
must bear In mind that n bankrupt road

After speaking of the valley's marvelous
growth, ho said In conclusion: "I hope In
the future that with better methods of cul

quired your condition may be constantly
Improved, and If your condition Is Improved
wo will certainly sharo It with you. As
