Ilutli IIoiiiom of Conct'oss DlHoimnlna tho Allcm'd Almos of tho KxlHtlniz J.uw, Tholiuh till) Appropriation For tlio Commission Will 1'robnlily Inis. Washlneton, Jan. C. The presenta tion of replies of the members of the cabinet to the resolution calling for Information as to the application of the civil service law to the various de partments of the government, together with the consideration of the bill es tablishing a bureau for the 12' h census, precipitated a sharp civil service t'ebate In tho senate yesterday. Mr. Cullom. of Illinois, the author of the resolution, thought that modification in the law ought to be made, as the authorities had drifted far away from the original Intention of the authors of tho civil service law. Mr. Allen, of Nebraska, charged that the law was openly and dally violated, and said It was a hiss and byword among the people. Mr. Cockrell, of Missouri, declared that It was presumptuous In Secretary Sher man to make recommendation to con- ress that certain positions In his de partment should be excepted from the classified service, when the president had full authority to make the ex ceptions he recommended. He thought an effort was being made to tie the president's hands, Mr. Davis, chair man of the committee on foreign rela tions, gave notice that he would next Monday and dally thereafter move that the senate consider In executive session tho Hawaiian anneation treaty until it wns disposed of finally. The civil service debate also began In the house, based on the item In the legislative, executive and Judicial ap propriation bill for the maintenance of the commission. It promises to con tinue at least until the end of this week, with a probability that It may run longer. But it Is generally admitted on both sides that the appropriation in the bill will stand, as the antl-clvll service reformers do not seriously con template an attempt to strike it out. The debate, therefore. Is only prelim inary to any program which the ene mies of the law may agree upon. The members of the house are divided into three camps on this question those who stand by the law, those who ad vocate Its entire repeal, and those who desire its modification. The bill for the reform of the civil service law, which, has been drafted by a special committee of Republican members of the houso of representatives opposed to the system In its present form, and which was Introduced In the house today by Mr. Evans, of Ken tucky, makes sweeping changes In the present system, the most important of which Is the establishment of a five year tenure of ofhee for those govern ment employes who are brought within the terms of the bill. The measure limits the application of the civil ser vice system to the departments In Washington and to such other localities where the total number of employes exceed 25. All appointees are com missioned for five years, with the power of removal clearly regulated and vested n the appointing power. It Is provided, however, that no removal shall be made for political or religious causes, and In case of removal the causes shall be specified and the papers made a record of the ofllce. All persons now in the public service are to terminate their service five years from the time the act takes effect. The measure recognizes the general eligibil ity of these persons for reappointment It includes in the civil service postal clerks and letter carriers In ofllces hav lng over ten employes, exclusive of subordinates. It limits the civil ser vice regulations to clerkB whose com pensatlon is from $900 to $1,800 per year and includes as clerks copyists, com puters, counters and draftsmen. Tho leaders of the movement are not yet able to definitely fix the number of government officers affected by the bill, but say it will certainly leave 00,000 positions under the civil service law, While there are now over 87,000. It h assorted that there is a majority In the civil service committee In favor of ma terlal modifications of existing law. An effort will be made to have the bill re ported to the house hy tomorrow, and action had Immediately. A GREAT SURPRISE IS IN STORE for thoso who will go to-day and got a pack ago of ORAIN-O.

C The Helchi-anzelger announceH that, according to a tele gram from I'ekln, an understanding has been reached between Clermanv and China regarding the cession of Klao Chou bay to the former. The arrange ment, it Is lidded, is substantially ns follows: It Is Intended by the cession to render possible for Germany tho fulfillment of her just wish for the possession, In the Bame way as other powers, of a base for trade and navigation In Chinese waters. The cession of Klao-Chou bay to Ger many takes the form of a lease for un Indefinite time. Germany Is at liberty to erect on the ceded territory all the necessary buildings and establishments, and to take the measures required for their protection. The ceded territory comprises the whole of the Inner basin of Klao-Chou bay, so far as the high water line, the larger headlands situated south and north of the entrance of the bay, to tho point where they aie naturally bounded by mountain ranges, and also the Isl ands situated within and In front of the bay. The ceded territory comprises an area of several squaru miles, bounded by a larger zone around the bay, within which no measures or arrangements may be mnde by China without the consent of Germany. In particular, no obstacles are to be raised by China to any measures Germany deems neces sary for the regulation of the watei courses. Finally, In order to avoid conflicts which might disturb the good under standing between the two powers, China has transferred to Germany, for a period, a lease of all sovereign rights over the ceded territory. If for any cause Klao-Chou bay should prove unsuitable for the objects Germany has In view China, after ar riving at an understanding with Ger many, will cede the latter, at another point of the coast, a piece of territory which Germany may regard as more suitable for her purpose. In that case China will take over the buildings and establishment constructed by Germany at Klao-Chou bay and refund their cost. ENGLISH NKWSI'Al'KH OI'INIONS. Gormnny'H Accusation or Territory Ac quired by 1'liyslcal rureo. London, Jan. G. The Dally Mall, com menting upon "the fact that the United States and Japan are openly on our side In the Chinese affair," says: "For once we are getting some recognition for our generous commercial policy." A dispatch to The Times from Pekin says that Germany has taken a lease of Klao-Chou for GO years. It savs also reports are current that a French occupation of Hal Nan Is Imminent. The Times says editorially: "It would be simple to assume that tho Heichs anzelger's dispatch tells the whole story, for it quite omits to say what China gets in return. To the world at large, however, the material fact Is that Germany by physical force hits ob tained a naval station. This Is the fact that must guide other powers In determining their own policy. The tall; of a lease Is a mere saving of appear ances. There Is no doubt that both Germany and China are aware that it Is a practical cession In full sovereignty. It provides a further argument In favor of an English guaranteed Chinese loan." Tho Standard says editorially: "Eng land need not be rallied, because she can claim exactly the same privileges as Germany. This is the logical and unassailable position the government has taken up, und It Is not astonishing to find that It has made a profound Impression In Europe as well as had a satisfactory reception In America. Whatever Mr. Sherman may say, the mercantile- communltv Is well awnro that England, In claiming equal rights for all, is fighting the battle of thn American merchants and traders as well as that of her own subjects." The morning paper editorials gener ally are In the same strain as that of The Times. They point out that th contract la one on which Germany ap parently gets everything and China nothing, while the question of the safety of the missionaries Is entirely dropped.

The hearing of the long pending Bult for JD0.000 damages for defamation of character brought by Anthony Comstoclt, of the Society for the Suppression of Vice, against Dr. Montague II, Leverson, of Fort Hamilton, commenced yesterday In the United States circuit court. During an altercation at a railroad station In 189G tho physician made tho following public declaration:' "Ladles and gen tlemen, this man Is Anthony rprnstock a notorious lducKtuiiiler, who never turned an honest dollar In his life." On the stand yesterday Dr. Lover-son said that he still believed the assertion to bp true, Itucklen's Arnica Salvo Tho best salvo In the world for cuts, bruises, sores, ulcers, salt rhosm. fever sores. tetter, chapped hands, chilblains, corns, and all skin eruptions, and positively cures piles. or jo pay required.

Thousands of men in lonely homes call up the pictures of the loved and lost ones, who might still be happy husbands with healthy babies prattling at their knees, if they had only been a little more observant and thoughtful. When a woman's com plexion gets pale and sallow and her eyes look heavy; when she is evidently nervous and despondent, and complains of pains and aches and dragging down and bnrniug sensations; a wise man should know that she is suffering from weakness or disease in a womanly way. The thoughtful man who realizes this will at once advise his wife to consult some eminent nnd skillful special ist. He will know that the average physi cian will insist upon the obnoxious exam inations and local treatment so embarrass ing to modest, sensitive women. He should know that these ordeals are unnecessary. Dr. R V. Pierce is an eminent and skillful specialist, who has been for thirty years chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y. During that time, with the assist ance of a staff of able physicians, lie has prescribed for many thousands of wom en. He is the inventor of a wonderful medicine for the special weaknesses of women, that cures in the privacy of the home. It is known as Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It makes the delicate and important organs that bear the burdens of maternity strong, healthy and vigorous. It corrects all irregularities and stons all de bilitating drains. Medicine dealers sell it and uave notning " just as good." W. K. Malcolm, Esq., of Knobel, Clay Co., Ark. . writes: " My wife for perhaps four months previous tome oinn oi our enna loot me i-a-vorite Prescription.' This strengthened her en tire system, and child-birth, to her, was very easy, belug auenueu wun nine pain, utir nauy Ruth is 13 months old and she has never been bick a day." ,'OOOQOOOOOC OOO-O OC-.'-'-v; 0-,o-c-y Surt'tssnr of the nttuvttijvti.
