ROW OYER PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE, The Ways and Meant Committee and the Banking and Currency Committee at Odds Over the Distribution of the Various Subjects. Washington, Deo. 8. The session of the house yesterday, though It lasted but two hours, witnessed a very lively skirmish over the question of distrib uting the president's message to the various committees clothed with juris diction over the subjects dealt with. The conflict of authority oame between the ways and means committee and the banking and currency committee. Chairman Walker and other members of the latter committee believed that the language of the resolution for dis tribution) which offered all matters re lating "to the revenues, the national finances, the public debt, tho preserva tion of the government credit and to the treaties of the United. States af fecting the revenues," to the ways and means committee would rob their com mittee of all jurisdiction over the ques tion of impounding the greenbacks, as recommended by the president. During the debate General Grosvenor, of Ohio, fired the first gun against the civil service law, and this also brought the friends and enemies of that meas ure into action. It was noticeable that the galleries seemed to sympathize with the opponents of the measure, but Mr. Johnson, of Indiana, in a ringing warn ing, declared that If a bill to emasculate the civil service law were passed It would meet the presidential veto. Mr. Grosvenor declared that he had kept In touch with the sentiment of the country, and that If the civil service Question were submitted to the peo ple west of the Allegheny mountains It would be burled under their over whelming condemnation. His remark GENERAL GUOSVENOIt. in denunciation of "life tenure In office" were met with uproarous applause from the galleries. In which many members on the floor heartily Joined This was a government for the people and by the people, he declared, and no man should be excluded from partici pation in the executive branch of the government by accident of birth or the misfortune of early education, who was otherwise qualified. Ohio, he said, had repudiated the civil service law and was opposed to building up an office- holding class In this country. Mr. Broslus, o Pennsylvania, the chairman of the committee on civil service, defended the law and the president's Interpretation of it. It was for the executive to administer it. He had full power to correct any mistakes that had been made, and he thought its administration should be left there, He thought any attempt to legislate upon the question must be regarded as an indignity to the executive. Mr. Bailey, of Texas, commended Mr. Grosvenor's utterances against build Ing up an offlceholdlng class In this country a doctrine, he said, which was almost literally embodied in the Chi cago platform. Eventually Mr.DIngley, In deference to the opposition of the members of the banking and curency committee, agreed to a modification of the order of dis tribution so as to send to the ways and means committee all matters relating to the ' revenues, the bonded debt of the country and the treaties affecting the revenues." The resolution was then adopted. After the session Chairman Walker claimed he had won a decisive vic tory, and that his committee, under the order, would have Jurisdiction over a measure to, as he exprossed It, "con vert the greenbacks Into gold certifi cates," but members of the ways and means committee Insisted that the changes of verbiage in the order would not affect their Jurisdiction, and that 1 measure such as the president sug gested, If Introduced In the houBe, would be referred to their committee. A new member, In Mr. II. DeS. Money, of Mississippi, was Introduced In the senate yesterday, and after some brief criticism of the form of his creden tlals the oath of office was administer ed to him. Mr. Money was assigned to the seat formerly occupied by Mr. Dan iel, of Virginia, the latter securing the seat In the center of the Democratic side which was occupied by the late Senator George. During the session 108 bills, many of which were private pen sion measures, were Introduced, In ad dltton to several Joint resolutions and some senate resolutions. An Interest ing contest for precedence in consider Otlon between Mr-. Lodge s Immigra tion bill and the proposed legislation to oonfer authority upon the president to not for the protection of the govern ment's Interest at the sale of the Kan sas Paclfle railroad was pending at the close of the session. Secretary Cage, of the treasury de partment, yesterday subnitHed his of ficial report to congress. He reoom mends a department to be known as the issue and redemption division, to which $125,000,000 In gold, with all the silver dollars held for redemption of sil ver certificates, and all the silver bul lion and dollars coined therefrom, bought under the act of 1890, shall be set over.

Superintendent Cooper and the School Teachers In Conference. ONG LIST OF NAMES REDUCED. Much Confusion is Caused by the Polish and Lithuanian Children Being En rolled Under Different Names. Over Three Hundred Ab sentee Notices Issued. All the public schools of town closed an hour earlier than usual yesterday afternoon to give the teachers a chance to meet Super- menueut uroper and go over the list of children who are within tlie school aites neclfied by law and do not attend school. The work was undertaken on Monday after noon, last, alter tlie regular weekly teachers' institute, but had to be discontinued on account of the time approaching for the Ight schools to oneu. To avoid this incon venience it was decided to take au hour from the school work yesterday. In this way the wsrk was finished. The list contained the names of 454 ebll- 1011 whose names appeared on the hooks of the ward assessors, but not supposed to be on the school rolls. When the sunerintoudent aud teachers got through with the list last ovening this number was considerably ro dticed. It was found that many aro in at tendance at the schools, some have moved from tho town, and others aro enrolled in tho schools undor names different from those that appear on the books of the assessors. This was found to be tho case espcially with regard to Polish and Lithuanian children. Of the 45-1 names presented tho toachers accouuted for 197, leaving a balance of 257 absentees still on the list. Superintendent Cooper is of the opiuion, however, that in vestigation will reduce this balance at least fifty per cent. ; that it will be found that many of tho children unaccounted for will be found enrolled in the schools under other names and some have moved from the town. Others may be found in thoparochial schools. 1 ho work of conducting this examination falls upon the shoulders of Superintendent Coopor and Truant Oflicer Smith. Diiriug tho past fow days the lattor bus servcil 300 notices on parents of children who have been absent flvo days, or more, from the schools aud over 100 replies have been received. The notices served aro complete in thoi recital of the law regarding absentees and clearly set forth the penalties offenders must meet. Superintendent Cooper said this morning: Whilo it is our intention to deal fair with everybody, tho school laws will bo rigidly enforced aud prosecuted even to suits if a compliance cannot bo secured otherwise If the notices sent out fall to bring satis factory answers, or aro unanswered, tho parents guilty of tho neglect must bo exr pected to bo prosecuted. Wo have had some trouble in convincing people of what tho law- requires aud our authority in tho matter, but our work is becoming lighter ,aud' after ex amples aro made in a few cases most of tho difficulties will bo removed."
