After an Interview with Mr. McKinley-LCivil Servicd Debate Resuined in the House Yesterday. IVashington, Jan. 11,—Senator Chan-, dler had a conference with President McKinley yesterday upon the subject of biittetallism, and he said after the close 0: the interview: "The P' sident stands firmly in favor of international bimetallism as prom- ised by the St. Louis platform. He con- siders the negotiations with the Euro- pean powers only temporarily suspend- ed, on accountvof the peculiar condition of affairs in India. and it is the Presi- dent’s intention to again send his en—, voys- to Europe as soon as the condi- tions are favorable for continuing ne- gotiations." ’ Senator Chandler added the opinion that the President is as earnestly in favor of. bmetalllsm—“t’lle use of both molds as standard money”—as the Sex:..tor himself. TH E HAWAIiAN TREATY. Annexation Bill Considered in Executive Session by the Senate. Washington, Jan. 11.—-Acocrding to arrangement, Senator Davis asked the Senate shortly before 1 o‘clock yester- day to go into executive session to con- sider the Hawaiian annexation treaty. There was no'objection, and Senator Davis made the opening speech, which was an elaborate argument in favor of the treaty. ' It is the intention of the friends of annexation to content themselves with as few speeches as possible, and there- fore Senator Davis‘ argument was com- prehensive in every particular. The friends of the treaty in the Sen- ate are in “’ashington, and expect to remain here. The return of Senator Foraker. who is a strong advocate of annexation, is looked upon as an add- in‘g strength to the fight for the treaty. He will take a lar*e part in the run- ning debate and in answering the at- tacks of the opposition. Senator Davis was interrupted by Senator Pettigrew, who said he wanted the question whether the treaty was to be discussed in executive or open ses- sion settled before the general debate began. This at once precipitated a dis- cussion. in which a number of Senators participated. PLACES IN THE CIVIL SERVICE. Postinaster-General Tells. ‘What Offices Should be Excepted. 'Washington. Jan. 11.—Postmaster- General Gary has sent to the Senate a reply to the resolution asking what po- sitions should be exempt from the classified civil service. He says: “In my judgment, the following po-j sitions should be exempted from the rules govern' g the classified civil ser- vice, in ad ition to those of private secretary and confidential clerk of the Postmaster~General and unskilled la.- borers, which are now exempt: “Chief clerk of the Postofl'lce Depart- ment, distributing, clerk, appointment clerk, private secretary and chief clerk to each of the four Assistant Postmas- ters-General, private secretary and confidential clerk to the Assistant Post- master-General for the Postoffice De- partment and confidential clerk to the chief postoflice inspector, postal-card agent, five postoflice inspectors. watch- men, firemen, assistant messengers, pages, laborers of all kinds and char- women. , “In the postoffices throughout the country I would recommend the follow- ing exceptions: “Superintendents or clerks in charge of carrier stations, assistant cashiers,» private secretaries and stenographers . to the postmasters inthelarger offices. messengers. porters. cleaners. Janitors, watchmen and laborers." .2" CIVILSERVICE IN THE HOUSE. More Representatives Attack the Re- form Systom. Washington, Jan. 11.-—The Civil Ser- vice dehate was resumed in the House yesterday. ' Mr. Cooney (Dem., Mo.) opposed the whole Civil Service reform idea, which he denounced as a cheat and a. narrow swindle. A Civil Service pension list and office—holding class, he argued, were logical and inevitable if it was to continue. Mr. Dorr (Rep, W. Va.) followed with a set speech in opposition to the law. Mr. 003: (Dem., Tenn.) said he was so utterly opposed to Civil Service reform that he would vote to strike out the appropriation for the commission and for the repeal of the law. Mr. Lit< Isle (Dem.. Ark.) antagonized the prin- ciple, theory and practice of the law. No Successor to lIaJor Handy. Washington. Jan. 11.——While the mat- ter has not been definitely decided, it is said. that the President probably will not nominate a successor to the late _Moses P. Handy, as Special Commis- sion to theParis Exposition. The rea- son for this is that the work for which Mr. Handy was selected has been brought so well along that the subject may be turned over to the regular Ex- position Commission, for which Con- gress is expected toiprovide during the present session. Cornell’s Ultimatum. Ithaca, ll. Y., Jan. 11.—-The Cornell Athletic Council considered Yale’s new challenge yesterday afternoon. The opinions of several of the council were sounded, and seem to be unanimous in favor of declining Yale's conditional challenge. One of the council amembe'rs is known to be advocating that Cor- nell take the firm stand for an “open regatta. on a. fair course and no favors." Prince Bismarck Nearly Well.

The habit is disgusting. \ Catarrh causes headaches, inflamma- tion of the eyes, deafness and consump- tion. The habit causes humiliation. Catarrh and habit should be cured. That they can be cured and have been cured, and in Norwalk,‘ too, the following is proof: Mr. H. L. VVoodwort-h, of 1 Burbank street, South Norwalk, says: "‘ I have been troubled with catarrh 'for some time; my head and nose seemed pretty well stuffed up, and the quantities of matter that ran into my throat at night would cause me to hawk, spit and often gag in the morning, before I could clear my throat. I got- some California Ca- tarrh Cure at Plaisted’s drug store,and already these symptoms are very much better. My throat is finely free from all matter in the morning, and my whole head feels much clearer.” By the use of California Catarrh Cure perfect cleanliness of the nasal passages is secured, and the peculiar properties of the herbs used in its production not. only cleanse the mucous membrane of all puriform matter, Soothing and a1- laying all inflammation, but. also effec- tually destroy all forms of fungus which may grow in the throat and nasal pas- sages. .\ It has cured cases of almost total deafness, restored the ability to detect odors to persons who had almost for- gotten what an odor was, and has cured cases that surely would have resulted in total blindness. Let no one who has suffered any of the evils of catarrh, hesitate to secure a bottle of California Catarrh Cure, with full faith that he will obtain relief and cure. California Catarrh Cure is sold by all dealers: 50 cents, three times as much one dollar. NEW JERSEY’S LXW MAKERS. The Governor Blake! His Last. Recom- mendations to the Legislature. Trenton, Jan. 11.—The Iegsiature met in annual session shortly after noon to- day. The principal event of the day was the reading of Gov. Griggs’ mes- sage. More importance than usual was attached to the document, because it is likely to prove the last official‘ut- terance of the Governor before Ire re- signs his office to accept the Attorney- Generalship in President McKinley’s cabinet which will probably be within the month. Caucuses of the Republicans and Democrats last night resulted in no appreciable change in the slates made last week. The Republican wings will flop in unison.
