4 REPEAL OF CIVIL SERVICE LAW. Opponents of the Measure Agitating Action By Congress. Washington, D. C., Nov 4—Re- publicans oppo-ed to tke continu- ance of the civil service law and reg- ulations are making active prepara- tions for the fight which they propose to make in favor of the re- peal of the measure during the com- ing session of congress. Capt. Thos. H. McKee, the journal clerk of the house of representatives, with a view to ascertaining the sentiment of the republican majority, hae be- guna poll of the members, and has ascertained, it is claimed, that many of them may be classed as opponents of the law. The entire delegation from Iodiana is counted upon to vote to repeal the law, while nineteen members of the Illinois delegation, nineteen from Ohio a number from Peunsylvania are reported to be against it. The poll has not been completed, bat the opponeats of the civil serv- ice system believe that before con- gress meets one-half the republican mew bers will have placed themeelves upon record as favoring the repeal of the law. This sentiment of an- tagonism it is proposed to strength- en, if possible, by petitions being circulated for signatures in. 8 num- ber of states by agents of the anti civil service league. Repreeentative Grosvenor, of Obio, is regarded as the leader of the movement, and he will be expected to lead the fight againat the law in the house. It is understood an effort will be made to ehow that the government ptinting office can not be properly subjected to the operation of the civil service law, because it is an ad- junct of congress and not really a part of the executive branch of the government. This question has been raised in the case of John L Ken nedy, who was removed, it ie claimed without sufficient cause. Assistant Attorney General Boyd is said to have prepared an opinion on the case, in which he sustains the views that the printing office should not be considered a part of the executive branch. Mr. Boyd's opinion bas not as yet been announced, but it is withheld until it has been decided what stand the administration will take with re gard to the power of collectors of interoal revenue to remove deputies. It 18 also the intention of the oppo nents of the Jaw to raise an issue with regard to the congressional library in case the president decides to place the employees of the libra- ry within the clavsified service. Clintese, ni Miners’ Places. Chicago, Fl, Nov. 7.—Chinese coal miners are to take the place of Americans in the Northern Illinois district. An attempt will be made to break the strike that exists and 800 skilled Celestials haye been picked for the work. They will all bear arms, live inside a gatliog-gun equipped stockade and be body-.guarded by 100 former Chicago policemen. An agent of the Chinese Six Com- pdniew was in Chicago last week and made a contract with the Wilming ton Coal com pany to deliver the 800 Chinamen at the mines of the Wil- mington Braidwood dietrict. The first consignment of 200 will arrive next Tuesday, and the others will be on hand as soon as provision can be made to take care of them. Arrange- ments for an additional 1,000 Chi- nese miners have been made, condi- tional on the success of the firat ven- 6 ure. Elaborate preparations have besn completed to take care of the first 800 Chinamen and give them ample protection. Negroes Terrorize a Towa. Des Moiner, Ia., Nov. 7.—Three colored desperadoes, armed with a shot gun and two big revolvers, held up the mining town of Marquisville, four miles north of here, to-night. They walked into the pool room and calling on fifty miners to hold up their hands, one of the party went through their pockets. The miners had juet been paid and quite a sum was taken, but it is not known just how much. After the robbery the Gesperadoes strutted around town and gloated over their work for a few minutes. They fired many shot but no one was burt. They are atill at large avd no trace has yet been obtained of them.

Judge Philips has again ordered the judges of the St. Clair County Court to appear in the federal court November 18 aud show cause why they should not obey the summons of the court, directing them to levy @ special tax to pay a judgment against the county for bonds issued for a railroad that was never built Thomas Gill, Thomas Merritt and Robert Lyons are the judges. They were elected on the issue that they would rather go to jail than levy the special tax, just as all St. Clair county judges have been elected since the fight began sev-n years ago. Their predecessors have gone to jail, and it is needless to say that they will do the eame if necessary. Itis very doubtful if it will not be necészary, inasmuch as interest, judgments, penalties and costs for every term of court fer seven years bave emousted to hun. dreds cf thousands of dollars, and the judges would rather stay in jail the year round than vote the special tax levy. They are like the other citizens of the county, elmost ready to lynch the judge who votes to levy a tax for those oid bonds —K. GC World.

Moreover, the pressure for early and consistent action in the arrangement of measures of reciprocity has been very great, from foreign countries, as well as from our own citizens The int t of the president in re- ciprocity is especially keen, and during his connection with the tariff legisla-_ tion of 1890, while chairman of the committee on ways and means of the house of representatives, the inclusion im that law of a reciprocity provision was conclusive of his determination to foster and promote American industry and commerce by this means. In view of these facts the president has desig- nated Mr, Kasson, of Towa, as suck special commissioner, with Mr, Chap- man Coleman, of Kentucky, as secre- go tary, and Mr. John Ball Osborne, of Scranton, Pa., as assistant secretary. The commissioner is charged par- tienlarly to look after the agricultural interests, both north and south, not forgetting the large and constantly in- g manufacturing interests east of the Alleghanies.
