In connec tion with the report i.Mr. Morgan said a word ot explanation w a necessary. It had not occurred during his membership of the com mlttco that It had been necessary to place upon an appropriation bill a matter of the kind suggested by the proposed amendment. The report makes no suggestion as to the merits of the preposition contained In the .until Imcnt. It docs , however , regard -this as an Inopportune manner of taking up the subject. Mr. Harris ( pop. , Kan. ) Introduced o reso lution with reference to the latest phase of the Kansas 1'acllle Dale.

REPORT ON CIVIL SERVICE Annual Statistics Handed in by tlia Com- misjion , MEMBERS ARE PLEASED WITH RESULTS Anter ! ( li < .SjKtctii Hn Not Only Caused ( Jrontcr Kinc-lciicy 111 the Service , lint HUH Snvoil Money. WASHINGTON , Feb. 12. The annual re port of the civil service commission for th focal year ended Juno 30 , 1897 , has been pre scntcd to the president. It beglna with a statement lo show that after au experience of nearly fifteen years the hopes of tiic ad vacates of the civil service Hiw have beci largely realized. In practice , the law has proved to ba a constantly exerted and cf fectlve force in the direction of economy. Considering the few changes In the service under the merit system and the wholesale removals under the patronage system , the economy and efficiency of the one stand In striking contrast to the extravagance and In efficiency of the other. Slnco 188.1 ( the yt r of the organization of the commission ) the unclassified position : which have been subject to political ccntro have Increased In number 37 per cent aiu in cast 43 per cent , wfillo the classified posi tions subject to examinations have rotnatnci at a standstill. The large cxtmislcm ot clvl service rules In May. 1896 , to include positions hitherto unclassified , the report s.ye , brought to light a number of unnecessary positions. Quite a number of these have been abjllshei ! as a measure of economy. The w'jolo number ot applicants for posi tions examined during the year was -19,115 , ot whom 25,593 passed. The number of ap pointments wts1,136. . The commission , the teport nayfl , hn.s been steadily malting Its examinations more practical. Numerous com plaints have been inido ot violation ot the mien of the civil service In the Treasury de partment , the Department of Justice and the Interior department. In each case examina tions have been made by representatives ot the commission and such cases ns appeared to be violations of the law were reported to the department to which It belonged. In each case the cominUalon has not yet re ceived a reply. Thu report speaks highly of the promotion system based on the efficiency record. This has been especially cndoised In Hie Navy de partment in the work In the yards. On the ether hand the commission deprecates the proposition of limited tenure of government oflice , pointing out that It would not only Impair the efficiency of the service , but open the dooi for political Influence.

Captata Shoemaker , chief of the revenue cutter service , said that owiing to the ad vanced season of the year the landing of the expedition was affected at about the time and place anticipated by him , and that ho feeh that owing to the Indomitable- cour age of Jarvls and llertholf , Ita succc&i is practlc-ally assured.

Senator 1'roctor ot Vermont followed with a 'brief speech In favor of annexation. He devoted hlmaelf exclusively to the military phase of the question. Uu'lng the- session Senator "Whiteof Cali fornia attempted to ascertain from Senator DivU , in chargeof the treaty , whether there would bo any early attempt to secure a vote upon It. The- California senator gave It as his opinion that there- ought to b _ at Icait three weeks' notice of a tlmo for the vote for arrangement of pairs. Ho said ho would be compelled to bo absent from thn senate for the next three weeks and ex pressed a dfslre to know something of the plans for 'bringing ' the discussion to an end.

Gcorgo G. Tunncll of the Hurcau of Sta tistics today submitted an additional report to the secretary ot the treasury on lake commerce. Ho states that the Duluth-Su- perlor business grew almost without a set back from 60,000 tons in 1880 to 2,128,751 tons In 1S93. For several years thereafter tralllc fell off , owing to commercial depres sion. The movement of coal through St. Mary's Falls canal in recent years , ho says , has grown at a much more rapid rate than the receipts at IJulutli a d Superior. Every effort has been made by the coal dealers of Chicago and Milwaukee on the ono hand and DiiUitH and Superior on the other to secure the trade of the northwest. The rates from the lower lake ports are almost always less to ports at the head of Lake Superior than they arc to ports at the head of Lake Michi gan. If a line be drawn from Kau Clalro to LaCroroo across northwest Iowa to the Missouri river and down this river to about the center ot Nebraska all the territory lying to the north and west on this line would be supplied with hard coal from the liead of Lake Superior.

Absence ot such a disclaimer is not en tirely satisfactory to the president. Ac cordingly , Minister WooJford has been Riven further Instructions on the subject. With out making any express demands for a dis avowal , Minister Woodlord is required by his new Instructions to impress upon the Madrid authorities the Importance to all parties concerned of some distinct repudia tion of Senor do Lome's declaration , which the president cannot believe correctly repre sents the position ot the Spanish govern ment. Mr , McKlnley believes that when the Spanish minister of foreign affairs fully appreciates the interpretation which has bom put upon Senor do Lome's letter In some quarters In the Unite-1 States he will hasten to disavow It. Minister Woodtord has been told In a positive way what the president would like to have done , but ho has not been told anything which would justify him In making a demand for a dis avowal. In other words , it la assumed that ho will two delicate diplomacy to secure the desired end , and It is believed another In terview 'between ' Minister Woodford nnd the minister of foreign affairs in Madrid will end the whole trouble. As far ns that feature of 'the ' do Lome let ter crltlcUlug the president Is concerned , the InclJent Is closed. That was established when the State department received Senor Dubolso as charge d'affaires to succeed Senor da Lome. The other phase of the letter the president considers should very properly be made the subject of further ne gotiations In order that Spain should have an opportunity to show that Senor do L/ome falsely represented lt.i position when he made the statements which he Jld. ciisuixc usuii iA si A aim , CAUKIRK.

A letter was re ceived today by the Christian Herald from Consul General Fltzhugh Leo In Havana , relative to the foundation of an orphan asy lum In Cuba. General Leo said : "I have considered the advisability of renting a large and suitable building for the purpcse of founding an orphan asylum , where the little starving children who have no parents or relatives to watch over and protect them , can be placed , and where they will be fed and well cared for , and perhaps later given some sort of education , I find I can rent a most commodious establishment with a largo bath and all conveniences , as well as ground around It , which the children can use for air and exercise. I would through humane agents collect these little ones and have them transferred to the establishment where they could bo in charge of nurses and other suitable attendants.

The house later discussed the amendment of Jobn Lawson Walton , liberal member for South Leeds , to the address In reply to the speech from the thrccie , and raising tlio ques tion of the government's Indian frontier policy.

The present troubles , he continued , proved that the occupation of Chltral was welcome , and ho warmly repelled - polled the opposition's charges that the gov ernment had teen guilty of breach of faith will ; the local tribes In continuing the oc cupation.

The text of this article is a plain simple statement that proves itself the reader's mind without in own argu ment. The text is " Good health is bet tcr than great riches. " Without health nothing really matters very much. A hacking cough takes all the beauty out of n landscape or n sunset. Erysipelas or eczema will spoil the enjoy ment of sprightly conversation , ofa beau tiful concert , of a wonderful painting. The biggest bank account in the world won't pay n man for his health , but a very small amount of money will make him healthy and keep him healthy. Most all bodily troubles start in the ; digestive or respiratory organs. It is here that improper living first makes an opening for disease The development differs ns constitutions nnd temperaments differ. The causes nrc almost identical. To get at the root of the matter is shnpln enough if you start right. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is a medicine for the whole body. It works through the digestive organs oil all the others. It cures the first thing it comes to and after that , the next. It puts health in place of disease in the stomach , and from the vantage ground thus gained , it reaches every fiber of the body and drives disease before it indigestion , liver troubles , kidney complaint , biliousness , skin and scalp diseases , salt-rheum , tetter , eczema , and all the troubles caused by A IIL'S KM i\TS.
