The civil service reform committee of the House yesterday decided to report favor- ably Mr. Lodge's bill to take fourth class post offices out of politics and pro- viding for personal visits by inspectors to the localities where vacancies occur without regard to the size of the office. There was some opposition to this feature in the committee on account of its expense, and Mr. Andrew of Massachusetts, who had the bill in charge, pre- paved an amendment, with the approval of Mr. Lodge, which obviates the necessity for per- sonal visits to the smaller offices. The amend- ment requires personal visits where the annual salary paid is in excess of €100, ex- cept in cases where there is only one supplicant, when the inspector may, if Ihe thinks best, recommend the applicant for ppoint- ment without visiting the locality. It is be- lieved that this amendment will. save the necea- sity for personal visits by the inspector in many cases where the office is located in the one-store or other central point and where no one but the keeper of the store could conveniently serve. Congresemea and other federal officials are forbidden to make recommendations or to inter- fere in any way with appointments under the bill, and 9p ppointments or removals upon cal’ grounds are prohibited. The limitation by the bill to offices where the annual com- Pensation is above $100 leaves more than 4,000 offices exempt from personal visits by the inspectors in choosing postmasters, but the pro- visions regarding political interference ap) ly eqitally to all the offices, and it is expected if politics ure excluded from the more impertas ones there will be little attempt to evade the Jaw in filling the «mailer places, It is estimated by the committee that the extreme cost of the proposed system would be $60,000 for thirty inspects and that probably the prevent force ‘tors would need but a slight increase in number to curry out the provisions of the bill in connection with their other duties. Mr. Andrew will submit the majority report on the measure and Mr. Raines of New York, one of the republican members of the committee, will dissent. ae Confirmations. The Senate in executive session has confirmed the following nominations: T. Jefferson Coolidge of Massachusetts, min- ister to France, Capt, Richard W. Meade, U.S. N., comms- dore. = ees Exports in Breadstuffs, The chief of the bureau of statistics reports that the total values of the exports of domestic breadstuffs from the United States during the month of April, 1892, and during the four and ten months ended April 90, 1892, as compared with similar exports during the corresponding period of the preceding years were as follows: April, 1892, $19,905, 717; ber poy iy ee Four months ended April 30, 1 1s01, $42,800,510. ‘Teh months ended "Apel 30, 30; ,065,629; 1891, $97,626,753, ee the 7 Title is Clear. Attorney General Miller has given an opin- ion to the Secretary of the Navy that the United States has a good and valid title to the Lock- woodville property at Annapolis, Md., and that there is no legal impediment to its improve- ment under the act of 1889 appropriating 890,000 fer its purchase and improvement, ‘oi property, fe intended for the puxpoees af Republican Campaign Committee. ‘The republican congressional campaign com- mittee organized last evening by the election of Senator Anthony Higgins of Delaware as chair- man, Representative John A.

Interesting Debate the House on Ite SVERY ITEM MOVED TO BE STRICKEX OUT, BUT ‘EACH, TIME IT WAS DEFEATED—THE ESTIMATES ALL CUT DOWN—THE PARK DEFENDED BY ‘MESSRS. COGSWELL, REED AND LoDOR. ‘The Zoological Park came in for rather a hard time of it yesterday in the House. In fact the entire appropriations under the head of “‘Smith- sonian Institution” fared rather badly. The debate was on the sundry civil bill which was being considered by sections for amendment. When the Zoological Park items were reached ‘8 mass of propositions were thrown out, Mr. Cogswell wanted the appropriations increased, Mr. Bailey of Texas wanted them stricken out while Mr. Dickerson of Kentucky asked that the law providing for the park be repealed. THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. ‘The battle commenced on the appropriations for the National Museum. Mr. Cogswell offered amendments increasing the sum, which amend- bared were Sorted. the democratic _— ing no ressons why the appropriations Been x wo ac jow the pot ae tes. The bill provided $10, for heating, lizhting,electrical, telegraphic aaa telephonic service at the mu- eum. Mr. Cogswell moved to this to $12,000, and stated that last year $12,000 had been appropriated and had been found only barely sufficient for the purpose. It was neces- sary for the preservation of the collection that the heat be kept at a uniform temperature during the twenty-four hours, Mr. of Pennsyivania read a letter from Prof. ley, strongh — that the item be ec 812,009. Mr. Bingham urged tbat ever if it was necessary to cut down expenditures the employes at the museum should be furnished with the comforts absolutely necessury to health. The amendment was lost, but Mr. Reed remarked that if the commttee would not give explans- tion they should at least furnish a quorum, and made the point of no quorum. From this on the republicans insisted on tellers on every paragraph to chow the presence of a quorum. THE ZOOLOGICAL PARK. Immediately following come the items for the Zoological Park. It will be remembered that the 200 items in the bill are also very greatly under what the authorities estimated was abso- lately necessary to carry on the work. The bill Proviso is added that hereafter estimates for the ark shall be submitted in the annual estimates for the expenses of the District. The first item was $9,000 for continuing the construction of roads, walks, bridges, water supply, sewerage and drainage and for grading, planting and otherwise improving the groun of the park, including salaries of all necessary employes. rr. Cogawell moved to make this item $15,000, which he said was absolutely necessary for the purpose. The republicans voted for the amendment, the democrats against. Tellers were ordered and the republicans refrained from voting. After some difficulty a quorm of democrats in opposition was obtained. Mr. Bailey of Texas then moved to strike out the entire paragraph. Mr, Bailey thought the na- Konal govrenment ought never to have engaged ‘n the providing of entertainment for the peo- ple, He made the amendment, however’ be- cause of the oft-repeated declaration that there would bea deficiency. He proposed, he said, to offer an amendment at the clave of the bill to meet this deficiency, which amendment would provide for an issue of legal tender notes. “=Mr. Butler (Lowa) drew attention. to the fact that only three republicans had voted during the last vote, Mil. REED ARRAIGNS THE MAJORITY. This aroused Mr. Reed, who characterized the statement as “very touching.” He then proceeded to arraign the uppropriations com- mittee for hypocrisy in cutting down necessary expenditures when they well knew that the Sen- ate would be obliged to increase them and that they would accept the increases, Mr. Bailey's motion to strike out was defeated. The second paragraph provided $10,000 for erecting and repairingybuildings and inclosures for animals and for administrative purposes in the park, including salaries of all necessary em- ployes. Dir. Cogswell moved to make this $18,000, which was defeated in a similar manner in bis former proposition. Mr. Bailey came to, the front with emotion to, strike out the 0 ar Mr. Bailey did not understan med democrats could justify themselves in voting public money for an ob- ject so trivial and unjustifiable as this. Mr. Holman thought Mr. Euiley's arguments were good, but remarked that the animals were there sud thould be taken care of, “Mr. Bailey re- plied that 99 out of 100 of the people of the country would say, “Give them away. r. Sn Was of upiuion that the Ameri- can people should not be called upon to provide bears, monkeys, coond and snukes for the citi- zens of the District. MR. LODGES PROTEST. ir. Lodge earnestly protested against the course of the committee in regard to the Smith- eonian, Mr. Lodge said: Mr. Chairman, as one of the regents of the Smithsonian Institution ap- pointed by this Honse, I wish to say a word in regard to the treatment which the _appropria- tions for the support of that institution, and also these special. sppropriations for the park, have received at the hands of the committee. It we wre guing to do anything about the Zoological Park it is just as well to come squarely up to. the qnestion, as the gentleman from ‘Texas (Mr. Bailey) proposes, und kill the institution, as it is to starve it to death with the pretense of giving it un appropriation. On the whole I prefer the plan of the gentleman from Texus, who would refuse all appropriation to the park, to that of the gentleman from Indiana. ‘I think it is a more honest one. But, Mr. Chairman, a word as to the merits o this question,’ This great park was es- tablished by the Fiftieth Congress, wl there was a democratic House.
