Attack on Civil Service Bonus Sparks Bipartisan Clash in House
Washington April 24. The House debated striking the Civil Service Commission appropriation. Judge Houk led a motion to cut the item, opposing reform. Democrats and reform supporters argued for the funding while many Republicans urged restraint, extending debate to an hour. The Houk amendment was rejected 61 to 120, and the commission retained the larger appropriation.

National Election Bill Seeks Gold and Silver Certificates
In the Senate to day Mr Teller offered a substitute for the Jones silver bill guaranteeing coin certificates for gold and silver deposits and making them legal tender for all debts. The act would require Treasury distribution of certificates and sets an $80,000 appropriation. House and Senate actions follow as sections. The election law reform bill faces strong Democratic opposition over state control, judiciary use, and local self governance concerns.

McKinley Defends Civil Service and Merit System Speech
The debate centers on upholding the civil service law after Republicans controlled the government. McKinley argues for maintaining the merit system and opposing a cut to commission funding.

Middleton furs report. compensation offered to Bremner
The Middleton Furs social committee in Ottawa reports General Middleton did not receive furs seized from Charles Bremner, a Battle Ford half-breed, during the pre rebellion. It rules the confiscation unwarranted and illegal and says property should have gone to the crown. It notes the general acted under a misconception and that the appropriation for his own use was improper. Bremner is willing to accept 4500 dollars as compensation.
