In a Gispatch from Camp Logan, Yellowstone park, dated August 23, where the President and his party were camping, it was stated that the night before was the coldest the party had yet cx- perlenced, the thermometer marking twenty de- grees at 6 a. m.,and in the mess tent the water ‘which had been served out a few moments before the party sat down to breakfast formed a network of ice on the under surface of the glasses. ‘The camp was named Logan in honor of Senator Logan, who was to have been one of the party. ‘The President and Senator Vest scored the great- est victory yet achieved ‘over the fnny tribe. At one cast the President landed three trout, weigh- ing in the aggregate four and one-fourth ‘pounds, andeach of six other casts took two fine speci- mens. The President secured the greater welght and Senator Vest the larger number. The total Weight of the fish caught was 105 pounds, The sport is now about over. The largest trout taken weighed three and one-half pounda, IN THE UPPER GEYSERS.

In all of these cases the vacan- eles originally occurred in the $1,200 grade, but promotions were made along the line until the vacancies existed In the lowest grade oniy. Itz stated in the departments that this will undoubtedly be the caso until the rules of the commission regulating promotions are pro: muigated. In view of these facts the que: {toa has arisen as to what will become of thos? who have successfully passed the more difficult exam{uation for the $1,200 grade. VIEWS OF COMMISSIONER RATON. A Sar reporter called apon Commissioner Eaton this morning in search of Information on the sub- ject. In reply to inquirles Mr. Eaton said that the commission has met wth no serious obstacles a8 yet and donot anticipate any that cannot be easily Teconciled by those who framed the civil service rules and the Cablnet officers who examined and approved them. He frankly admitted, however, that the appitcants for $1,200 positions were far In excess of ose for a lower grade, and that they would have to take their chances with the rest, everything depending upon What class the heads of the d.fferent departments made requisitions or. He sald that it could not be expected that the elvil service machinery could run without a bitch from the start, but that they had foreseen that a great many difticulties wouid arise without know- Ing in whatshape, but that when they did arise they would be carel for, He thought that the promotion rules wou'd not. ‘be promulgated uatll after the return of the Presiient and Cabinet. ‘The subject was one of great importance, he sald, and wouid have to be handied very carecully. IN THE DEPARTMENTS IT 18 SAID that the difficulty will not be obrtated even when the promotion rules are promulgated and en- forced. The Secretaries wil undoubtedly preter to give a vacancy In_ the $1,200 grade to the elerk who can pass the examination required, rather than select one of the four strange n=mes which would be certified to by the commission tf the requisition should be mate. ‘The con- sequence will be, 101s said, that requisitions will be nade for nppointme nts to the lowest grades in the departments, and that the successful compet tors in the $1.00 examinations will be left in th cold unless thelr names are submitted for the Vaeaneles that may occur in the lower grades. soe The Yellow Fever at Pensacola Navy Yard.

Smith, of Norwich, Ct, against Jas.W. Beil, the restaurateur, of No. 343 Pennsylvania avenue, for Tefusing to serve him because he was a colored man, 1s still much discussed by white and colored people. Tne legal fraternity, with a few excop- tons, regard the law as it stands as absuri—even those who favor the ideas which prompted its en- actment, Mr. Campbell Carrington, the counsel for Mr. Bell, the defendant tn the case referred to, says he has little doubt that in a trial before a jury his client will be acquitted. In conversation with a Stan reporter Mr. Carrington sald: “I will polut out to you some of the inconsistencies and ab- surdities of the civil rights law, and of some of the colored people themselves, who want the law entoresd. It, perhaps, never occurred to you, but itis, nevertheless, a fact, that there are colored men in business in this and every other clty who Would just as positively refuse to serve a colored man in their establishments as would the kee} of the most fashionable hotel in the city. After leaving the court-house on the day the case was tried I stepped tnto a first-class barber shop, kept by a colored man, and found the proprietor and his employes discussing the case of Bell, all Agreeing that he was guilty and should be pun- ished to the extent of the law. The proprieior was very clamorous for the enforcement of the law, and I remarked that if put to the test he would tuink as hardly of the civil rights law as Mr. Bell. Sald I, ‘To-morrow when the depart- ments let out aud your piace is crowded with your best customers, I wiil bring the Rev. Mr. Smith and half a d¢zon other higaly respectable men of your own color in here and sve if_you will shavethem.’ His reply to this was: ‘For God’s ake don’t do it, or you will ruin me.?” ow,” continued Mr. Carrington, “consider the absurdity of a law that Impos:s ‘a penalty, the Ininimui of which fs $500, for politely teding a man that he cannot be accommo lated In one’s own restaurant, and kindly directing him to Places only across the street, where he can be served by men of his own race; yet If a personal assault Were commiticd on him, im place of this entle treatment, a fine of $5 cr 10 oniy would be Imposed. Just think of a man being fined one hundred times as much for telling a man he won't seli lim a diuner, as he would be tor knocking him down before he has a chance to ask for it.” ————__ District Government Affairs, ~ INVESTED WITH POLICE PoWRRS.
