Armed with a note book he started 1o gather opinions on the ail absorb- ing subject. He gathered first of all an assorted collection of profanity, rendered even mare tropical by the state of the atmosphere, and then gained the experience. He will never forget strolling past Jardin des Plantes on his wiy to the observatory to see what the official meteorologist thought about things. The fiond dropped in to compare notes with the animals-most of them had very wiscly rvetired to the shuly corners of their cages—but what was his surprise to find the chief elephant standing under the pleasant shude of a lime tree and fully fanning himsell with a full sized paper fan, ‘This wis 10 much for the fiend, so taking hasty pleture of the intelligont animal with the lightning photographer he alvays keeps conc: his hat he tied Unfor y he turned his steps toward N office, where he busied himsell with various scion- tille instruments kept there for the reference of usual visitors to the reading room at 49 Avenue Opera, having tra ved their headquarters to the fountain on place Con- corde, The flend contended hi that the thermometer registered 265 ce grade or 79° fanrenheit, but this did not s isfy his inquiring mind.

WHAT COMMISSIONER LYMAN CLAIMS, Obstructionist ¥ Runs A A Suag Himself—General Badeau Case, Settled—Chieckmating the Democrats. oe st WASHINGTON Brneau Tiie Osana Ber, } 513 FounrerNTin STRERT, Wasmxaroy D, C., August 9. President Lyman says the operation of the railway mail service, since it was placed un- der the control of the civil service commis- sion, has b 1 superior to what it ev was, During his statement before the house com- mittee today, he said the railway mail sorvice came under the civil service on March 15, 1880, This service was put under the system by order of the president. It was the idea of President Cleveland that these rules should go into effect on February 15, but by inad o March 5 wus put on the order. It was, however, impossi- ble to prepure the rules even by March 15, and President Harrison fssued a suppl ment order naming May 1as the date when the rules should go into effect. ClIn answer to “a *question of Mr, Lehlbach, Mr. Lyman said that the first formal sugges- tion of putting the railway mail servico under the civil service came from the commission in aletter sent more than a year before the ac- tion was taken by the president, He thought no formal suggestion had come from the head of the postofice departwent, Mr. Greenhs ated to know whether the present thorough merits s ystem of marking the and demerits of the clerks on their » was in vogue be vice was classified, and Mr. Lyman said it was. Mr. Lyman said that putting the railway mail under the cf service had not interfered with the discipline of the servicein tho slight- t, as the same system of examinations was used in the probationary period as was form- erly used. Putting the service under thé system merely made sure of compo- tent men aud removed the appoint- ments from political influences, He suid that one class of men who handled the mail en route were exnmpt from examina- tion. These were the men handling the mails on steamboats., Mr, Lyman thought that of the 6,000 clerks in this service between 1,500 and 2,000 of this number had been appointed throuch the ci service, the greater num- ber of which he thought had been appointed on account of increase in the service. A cectificate from a physician was required as to physical capacity, and from eighteen to thirtyfive was® the age limit for ~appointment. The classification of the railway mail service was considerable of a problem, as to the register especially. 1t was at fivst thought best to make a register for each mail division, but it was finally de- cided to make a register for each stateé and terrtory. It is the poliey of the department thav these employes shall live on the line of the road on which they areemployed, as oft cligibles resided clear at "the othe: side of the state from - the line of the road. This created considerable trouble, Finally, through the president, the ruleof certifying wus changed so that the commissioners should certify the highest cligible resfding in the connties bordering on This plan has worked faivly well. If there should be no_eligibles froui the counties an eligible from the near- est county would be certified, aud if there bo no eligible from the state oné from the ney est state would be certified. AN OBSTRUCTIONIST OBSTRUCTED, M, Enloe of Tennessee bias made fo £ during the present session un unenviable notoriety, second only to that of Mr. Rogers Arkunsas, as a chronic kicker and obstruc- tionist. Itis due_to'him that for the past six weeks no action has been taken on a single peusion case, he invariably muking the point of *no_quorum” iday night sessions, which are alw ted to the consideration of such Tod him- cases, ever, he introduced a resolution which may result in some good. When the call of the house was ordered by Speaker Recd the doors were of course, as usual, closed, and the ¢ sistant doorkeeper of the house, Mr, Geor; A. Miner, took up his stand inside the main door. Mr. Enloe attempted to leave the chamber, but was stopped by Mr. Miner, who refused to permit himto pass. Mr. Enloe worked himself into a frenzied state of indig- nation, but Mr, Miner remained firm, and tho result was that the member from Tennessee was compelled to return to his seat., He im- medjately drew up aresolution, full of where- ases, and reciting the indignity heaped on him, intending to summon Mr, Miner before the bar of thehouse. When the resolution was read Mr. Cannonarose {0 his feet for some purpose, probubly to move its tabling, but Speaker Reed stated that he dosired to have the point cacefully considered whether a momber a member conld legally leave the house during a call. Mr. Whitthorne of Ten- nessee thereupon asked unanimous consent for its reference 1o the committee on judicis which was done. Mr. Euloe’s resolution will be very cavefully debated, both in the com- mittec and onthe floor of the house, The rules of the house give the s nt-at-arms full authority to bring into tho chamber any and all absent members pending a call of the house, but the point whethera member has the right to leave the Rouse is not touched upon. Most of the members, however, take the ground that if the sel ant- arms has tho right to bring absent members into the house for the purpose of making a quorum he certainly has “the right through the door- keeper 1o Keep them in solong' as_the call is pending, The precedent is with Mr, Houck, and it is very likely that the resolution will result in the establishment of a rule that miembers caunot leave the house during a call, NERAL BADEAU'S CASE SETTLED, General Badeau’ st been sot- tled and he isno longer an officer of the army., The claim that b he aceepted a place in the diplomatic o hie lost his place on the retired list, asserted by the treasury de- partment officials, was disputed by the- le ofticers of the war department, and the con- troversy thus 1 threaterled to be quite spirite The [\ attorn general concludes that when Bade: 1 accepted the duties of a diplomatic officer ho thereby ipso facto ceased to be an officer of the urmy, that ueither the act of 1575 nor any executive act restored him, and that he his therefore no logal right tohave his name borne cn the list. The president has divected that Badeaw's namo e dropped from the army rolls, to date from Muy 14, 1569, the date wien hé accepted an appointment in the diplomatic service. The salary pmd to General Badeau since that date will be a loss to the treasury department, CHECKMATING TUE DENOCRATS, s tho orders coming to them from ate side, that appropriation bills must delayed s much’ as possible, the demo- ats in the house ure now uctuated by an- other motive for their filibustering now that the report on the Breekenridge case has boen made and Mr. Breckenridge can therefore be unseated on any day. The democrats are using every parliamentary device possible to ire delay. On fr diy they had no less thun twelve roll calls besides calls of the house and today they kept up theroll calls for the saw n. This lineof action is perfeetly recog- ed by.the republicans and they will check- mate it as soon as that ean bedoneoffectuall It will hardly be possible to call any election cuse next week, because itis not probable thut there will be & republican majority in the hous pouding the Grand Army encimp: ment at Boston, but as soonas the Grand Army demonstration is over the elec- tion * committee will get seriously to work. At present their intention is to call up the cases in the regular order of their pro- Scutation to the house, which wakes tho Breckenridge case the third or fourth one to | b called, but it is stated todsy by the chair man of the clections eommitioe that if the democrats persiat in thelr spirit of obstruct- ion merely for the sake of staving off tho Breckenridge cuse hewill mike use of the right of his committee and call up the Breck enridge case out of its regular order and un- seat Mr. Breckenridgo before anything elso is done, 5o that Mr. Brockentideo's tenuve w tho houso will hereaftor dopend entirely on the conduct of his associateés, HOWELL O THE ELECTION DiL, Chairman Rowell, who will be remembe as oneof the most prominent men in the ¢ struction of the house election bill and who himself framed & bill Which by many was considered superior 10 the Lodge bill, sa toduy that he had no reason to believe th there would be any delay in the acceptance by the house of the senate substitute for the ele il true,” he smd, “it ap- parently makes some great changes, but as a of fact it is perfectly satistactory to all of us who voted for tho I bill, I think d6 siwplif Lodge ~bill and 6 is s0 that any hopes which may bo delay in confercnco are know, nor does any other m an eléction bill will be pa for mo one can foretell all th the senate. But 1 certainly be will pass, and if it passes by the et October it will yet be in time to be put in operation in most of tho places where it is nceded. I do 1ot know whether Senator Sherman will per- sist in his published plan to offer what was the Eehlbach amend- ment dn’ the house, providing _that the bill shall be_obligatory cverywhero, 1da not think he will, but if Lo doés and it should pass the senate, which T consider just as doubtful, T am convinced the house will never agreo to it. If the bill s the senate as it stands it esn be passed in the liouse and become a law within a law if there should be any need for such action, THE SENATE WILL LIMIT DEBATR, If any one doubted the determination of a majority of the senate t0 80 arend the rule: of that body as to limit debs and br abouta vote upon a qu: thout the usual time Ikilling, it was dispelled to when Chuivman Hoar, oue of the oldest, most sagacious and infliential gentlemen on the republican side, presentod a resolution providing that after a question has been under consideration for a reasonable timo it 1be inorder for any senator to demand that debato thereon be eloscd, and if the de mand is seconded by & mujority of the senn- ent the question shall immediately taken without . further debate, and limiting * to thirly minutes the debate upon the proposi It is settled that this resolution, wk ferred to the conmittee on rules and whi will undoubtedly be reported with favorable consideration, was reeently agreed to or practically agreed to at the republican cau- cus, Chairman Aldrich of the committee on rules says that although 1o meeting has been called for the committee one will bo held be- fore the debate closes on tho tariff bill, when action will be token upon Benator Hoar's 1 olution. It is expected that a number of publican senators, possibly five or six, will vote against the resolution, but thero is little if any doubt that it will be passed. Th adoption of this resolution does not nec sarilymean the consideration of the clections bill at this session, but it isimprobable that it would haye been introduced,especially by Mr. Hoar, and championed by bim, if it was not the purpose of the majority to take up the cletions bill before adjouriment. Your cor- respondent was today fold by a numoer of ro- publican members of the committee on finance that it would not be possible to conclude the consideration of the tarif bill undertwo weeks, and that it was more than likely the last week in August_would be alumost ex- hausted before the tariff bill will be sent to the house, where a conferfiice committee will be ordered, When next riday is reached the republican members (- the commwittee on iinanco will usk azals L. evr the river and harbor bill bo postponed till the taif bl is disposcd of, and Sen- ator Miscock said this afternaon that undoubtedly & question of consideration would arise, the solid democratic side demanding that the river and harbor bill come up at once, and possibly some of the re- ublicans would vote with the democrats to ay aside temporarily thoe tariff bill. Senator Hiscock would not fry to predict the vesult, ving it was doubtful, but there ses to be little doubt in the minds of almost every re- publican senator that the river and harbor bill will not come up until the tarit bill 1s passed. The river and harbor bill can be dis- poscd of within ten days, so that if it is agreed that the elections bill shail come up at thi ion it may be taken in hand by the middle of § and under the operation of Senator Hoar's rule can be d carly in October.
