WASHINGTON , Jan. C. The friends ami
cnemlca of the civil service law exchanged
broa oldes In the house today. The heaviest
KUWI on each side were brought 'Alto action.
Mr. Grcavcnor ( rep. , Ohio ) and Mr. Johnson
( rep. , Ind. ) each made exhaustive speeches
and kept their respective sides In a conslan1.
furore. The Interest In the debate was much
moro lively than yesterday. The crowded gal
leries , which were plainly In sympathy with
the opponents of the law , became oo very
noisy In their detncaatrc' Ions of approval at
ona juncture that the elwlr waa compelled to
call them to order. Mr. Johnsnn was warmly
sustained by the friends of the law on the
llcor , but ho got very llttlo applause from tS o
galleries. "Mr. " Grosvenor did mot define hla
attitude la detail , but gave hlo adhcslui to
ths bill agreed on by the opponents of the
law In caucus last night , and warned Iris col
leagues tha > , unless modifications of the law
were made ho and his friends would by co-
opcratloj find a way to completely destroy It.
SPEAKS ONLY FOR HIMSELF.
Tto house today promptly resumed
the debate on the civil service
question and Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio
took the floor for an elaborate speech In oppo
sition to the law. In opening Mr. Grosvenor
disclaimed any leadership of the antl-clvll
service reform forces and any purpose to
opcak for any olllcer of the government , ex
ecutive , legislative or judicial.
"All efforts to entangle me In a collision
with the president , " said he , "wero as so
much powder wasted. If I believed that my
rrlatlons to the president would bo changed
because I differ with him In r.ny representa
tive capacity I would despise him as ho would
desplso me It I faltered In my convictions. "
Mr. Groavenor said he had watched with
admiration the president's public career and
ono of hU most prominent characteristics
had always teea- that he not only did not
demand subserviency , but deipUcd a mau
\\lio sought favors by sycophancy. Mr.
Grosvenor proceeded to pay his respects to
the National Civil Service Reform league
: fid 16 Carl Schurz , UG president. His ex
coriation of the later was the most scathing
that has been heard on the floor of the
house in months. He denounced unsparingly
thoao who sought to read out of the re
publican party those who believed In the
repeal of the civil service law. With vit
riolic language he depicted the political ca
reer of Mr. Schurz , which he characterized
M tbo "checkered , spotted , leprous career
of ono who betrayed every party and every
duty to which he was bouud and whose
betrayals had teen his only stock In trade
In the arena of politics. "
Ho traced Mr. Schurz'a political history
and dolled any coo to point'out a place In the
trail which was ciot tainted with political
corruption. Yet , he said , this was the man
who , with otl.cr "foul political demagogues
at Cincinnati , under the name of the Na
tional C'vll ' Service league , had eicnounceJ him
and those who thought with 'him on ' .hla ques
tion. " He read the resolutions adopted at
tha Cincinnati meeting , branding them as In
famous beyond description.
CUCKOOS ARE REFERRED TO.
iMr. Grcsvenor's description of the habits of
the "cuckoo" teemed with humor and kept
the house In o. rcur. Mr. Grosvenor , In replyIng -
Ing to 'the ch > irgo made agalns" himself and
hl-s colleagues that they were betraying the
republican party , adverted to what he calla
tha list of traitors among the high priests of
civil aorvlco reform , a > l tcae head of which -he
placoJJ George William Curtis , who utcu-
Jcwed the republican party In 1SS1. He ro-
vlewed the platform declarations of the re
publican paKy to show that the present posi-
.lon occupied by the majority of 'the house
.vaa . no. inconsistent with these declarations.
'For I give the members cf the civil eon-Ice
; : cnmiUco notice , " said he , "tha1 , we ( have
r.ajorlty on thU tlcor and you cannot strangle
i majority In the American congress. " ( Ap-
Ho denied that when the St. Louis plat-
; crn was adopted the extensions contained
in the Cleveland order In May , 183G , had
3ccn understood R vf&s not until Novem
ber , 1SU6 , that the enormous scope of that
> rJo ; ' , covering 46,000 officials , was publicly
leclared. The republicans , coming Into
> owcren a platform adopted 'batore ' these
, 'cst extensions , were not In honor bound
o agrco to them , and it waa proper that
: ho president should announce In hi ? mes-
lago to congress that there were porticos
it these orders which never ought to have
) cen made.
Mr , Groavcmor discussed the practical cf-
ect of the law and the examinations of
ho tommltteo , giving many Illustrations of
ippllcants 'Who ' through years of service had
iroved their ability , ibut 'who ' failed to an.
: wer questions asked.
JS3UES A WAHNING.
Ono of Mr. Grosvenor's statements which
'vokcd ' an enthusiastic outburst from the
[ ttllcrlcs wen In the nature of a warning
hat If members refused to listen to the
olco cf the people In hostility to this law
hey would not bo members of the Flfty-
Ixth houKo cf representatives. Ho argued
hat the people were overwhelmingly opposed
o the law and said that hundreds of thou-
ands of rcpL-ibllcaca felt a , secret sympathy
k'lth Mayor Van Wyck of Now York , who
nnounccd that nemo but democrats would
o appointed to olllco under the new city
overnment. Governor Ulack had said a few
ays ago when the late "unlamor..tcd" re
publican government of Now Ycrk came Into
power there were 13,000 Tammany men In
olllee , and when It expired there wore atlll
1B.OOO Tammany won on the pay roll , The
ivpuOllsanB , Mr. Grcsvcncr said , had boon
Juatly punished for keeping these enemies In
tholr camp ,
Mr. Grosvenor professed hla adherence to
the principle of the merit sysfeai and to
the theory nf examinations for olllco within
certain limitations. "Uul , " ho exclaimed In
conclusion , addressing 'the ' defenders of the
lew , " want to servo notice on you that
unless you Join us In the correction of the
abiwfo and the reformation cf the law that
wo will Join any portion ot the community ,
legislative , executive or Judicial , and deUroy
tlio law , root anj branch. " ( Uproarious ap

SUPPORTS MERIT SYSTEM.
Mr. Johnson ( rep. , Ind. ) , ono of the ardent
defenders of the laiw , followed Mr , Grcnvenor
with an extended argument In support of the
merit oystom. Ho took occasion to review
the history of the civil service , pointing out
that previous to the tlmo of Jackson the
spoils system did not exist. Men were ap
pointed to ofllco for fitness , yet never was
party feelliiK ntronger than then. In Eng
land , where the merit system provalloJ ,
party spirit was moat vigorous. It was nb-
surb , ho contended , to say that party spirit
must bo fed upon the bribe of olllco.
Ho repudiated the statements of the ad
versaries of the law that Lincoln and Grant
believed In the spoils system. During hla ru-
vlow of the records of eminent men on this
rmcstlon , 'Mr. ' Johnson became Involved In a
controversy -with his colleague , Mr. LantlU
( rep. . Ind. ) , and during the cross-firing the
galleries became so obstreperous In tholr ap
proval of the position of the latter that the
chair waa obliged to euapoml the debate and
admonish the spectators that such demon
strations must cease.
In enumerating the evils of the spoils sys
tem Mr. Johnson said It made cowards of
legislators , stormed the White House , In
terfered with the departments ; It reached
Into the capltol and shaped legislation ; It
exalted the olllco broker , and attacked , vllll-
fled and calumniated the conscientious man ,
Words , he declared , could not do Justice to
tha Infamy of this prolific evil which had
debauched the civil service , It seemed In-
crodtblo to him that men could daru ad
vocate a return of this Saturnalia.
Ho took up the criticisms of the oppo
nents of the law , ono by one , and answered
tlio in , frequently evoking applause from the
friends of the law on the floor. The talk of
a civil pension , ho said , wan a bugaboo tie- ,
ilgacj to frighten the defenders of the merit
fiystem. A proposition for ft civil pcnslo
could not command half a dozen , votes I
cither houoc , or secure the executive ap
proval.
Speaking of the republican side of th
house ho told ha ! colleagues that the merl
system was a republican child. Whll
George It. Pendleton was Its author , In It
Inception It was n republican mcnsiirc
Every republican senator , and all cxcep
seven republicans of the house voted for It
It has been endorsed by state and nation
cltlcn and states were adopting It. Thi
American people were behind It.
Mr. Johnson attributed the present ill *
cordant and disgraceful scene now belli ;
enacted In Ohio with Its "visions of senator
ships going glimmering , " to the scramb ! <
for spor.3 , state and national , and said thai
the surest way to put Hryan and his blacl" "
banner In the white house In 1900 wouli
bo for the republican party to be reoreanl
to Its trust and to slap In the face those
who believed In an honestly conducted civil
service.
Without dcalrlng In any way to reflocl
upon the present occupant of the white
house Mr. Johnson said ho was convinced
that thcro could be no genuine civil service
reform until by constitutional amendment
the prcslelent was made Inclllglblo for re
election ho must necessarily bo more or less
under the domination of machine politics.
lAftcr expressing his confidence In Presi
dent McKlnley , Mr. Johnson concluded In
an appeal to him to ntnnd by the principle
upsn the perpetuity of which the permanence
of our Institutions depended.
Air. Johnson was given an enthusiastic
demonstration of approval when ho con
cluded.
At 4:50 : p. m. the house adjourned.

Ticket * from Iliillriniils ,
WASHINGTON , Jan. 6. The Interstate
Commerce commission today resumed Its
hearing on the anti-scalper bill. Mr. McKen.
zle , the president of the American Ticket
Hrokcrs' association , said he had received
affidavits from a number of ticket brokers
confirming his statement that the brokers
secured 95 per cant of the tickets Bold by
them from the railroad companies. When
Senator Culloni asked for names , Mr. McKen-
zlo replied that to answer would bo a breach
of confidence. While ho considered the ques
tion proper , still ho declined to name the
companies , except under summons. In that
case ho woul'd respond , but ho did not want
to break faith.
12. J. Thlelo of the Illinois Commercial
Men's association opposed the bill as unjust ,
asserting that the owner of a railroad ticket
should be allowed to dispose of It as he might
see fit , as would the owner of any other com
modity.
Senator Wolcott made the point that "No
honest , honorable man would bo caught
traveling around on another man's name on
a non-transfcrrablo ticket. "
Mr. Thlelo said ho had known of men
whom ho believed to bo honest doing that
thing. Ho said that what the traveling men
wanted was a uniform flat | 20 a thousand
mile rate.
P. IS. Dow of New York , president of the
Commercial Travelers' National league , also
appeared In antagonism to the bill.
William K. King , president of the Mer
chants' association of New York , spoke for
the bill. Ho was opposed to discrimination ,
hcnco ho favored the pending bill. He char
acterized as forgery the dealing In railroad
tickets , which was , ho said , opposed to the
constitution of the United States. Ho did not
believe , ho said , In a course that would save
ono dollar at the expensa of the crime of
forgery. Ho said there were very few firms
that would employ a man as n traveler who
would deal with ticket brokers.
A. M. Compton of Chicago , of the National
Ai&oclatlcn of Merchants and Travelers ,
urged the passage of tha bill. His a.-soola- .
t.lrn had resident delegates at the important
points of the country and In reply to in-
luirles directed to these agents the associa
tion had not received a bailor's dozen of re
plies unfavorable to the bill. He had been
Tor years a commercial traveler and did not
iccept the doctrine that the traveling men
wore as a class favorable to the system of
leallng In railroad tickets through the
) roUcr.3. This was poor commercial In-
egrlty. He referred to the brokers as para ,
dies upon the common carrier system of the
untry and said the ticket brokers' office
vcro the resorts , public and advertised , fo
leallng In fraudulent , Icwt and stolen rail
vay tickles.
The hearing for the day w.s closed wit
i brief but vigorous statement by J. 15. Dl
if New York , counsel for the Merchants' as
eolation of New York , who declared that o
he 1,100 firms of thU cssoclatlon In Ne\
' ork , representing $300,000,000 , there bad no
icon one vote cast against the proposition t
upport this bill raid of the 30,00 firms out
lile that city , representing another ? 500,000 ,
00 , only eighteen had opposed It. He eal
ho merchants generally allowed tholr trav
ling men full rates and that the tlcke
iroker.V clllce.5 offered to them temptation
o go wrong. "Those places , " he said , "savo
> f darkness rather then of light and are
rap and a temptation to young men travel
ng for reputable houses. "
N. B. Kelly , commissioner of the frclgh
ransport.itlon department of the Traders
.cague of Philadelphia , flle-ij a statement In
upport of the bill.
The committee adjourned then until to

Overstrcot of Indiana Introduced In the house

What the government ultimately will do
In the matter cannot bo authoritatively
stated , but there are good reasons for the
belief that It has been the Intention for
sometime to begin legal proceedings soon
after the first ot the year In the absence
of a satisfactory proposition for a settle
ment. Owing to the many claims and
counter-claims Involved , It Is not possible at
this tlmo to state the exact amount In which
the company defaulted on January 1 , but the
amount of the due and unpaid principal on
that date was $10CH,120. The other Items In
Iho account are : Hnlnnco ot Interest duo the
United States , $35,852,719 ; bonds redeemed
by the government prior to January 1 , $15,071-
000 ; nccured interest , $504,333. Against this ,
a total of $53,045,172 , the company has $7,513-
C50 In cash and bonds In Its alnklng fund.
There are also judgments and claims against
the government unpaid amounting to $2,473-
