The Presi. dent says that he thinks the boy has been punished enough for the first offense, ifhe 1s not eritminally incline —— Assistant Secretary Porter’s Successor EX-REPRESENTATIVE COX SUGGESTED FOR THE ‘VACANCY. ‘There 1s still uncertainty as to who will succeed Gov. Porter as Assistant Secretary of State. It 13 generally conceded that Mr- Bayard will not have man for the place who will not yield judgment to him in all matters and not assume to speak for the Department. He will certainly select the man himself, and his choice will probably not be Known until the appofntment 1s formally an- nounced. Ex-Representatlve Cox, of North Carolina, who 1s spoken of for ‘the appoint- ment, is very irlendly with Mr. Bayard, and "ts well qualified for the position. Hé has stood as a defender of the Administration and a clvil-service reformer from the very start. He was live member of the foreign affairs committee tn the House and chairman of the clvil- service reform committee. He 1s quite wealthy, so that the salary would be no consideration, but the dignity of the oftice would well suit him, and he ts notably very discreet and diplomatic. He Would, it 1S held, combine dignity, discretion, diplomacy and civil-service reform in a manner quite to Mr. Bayard’s taste. = see, Women in the Civil Service. THEY CANNOY BE EXAMINED FOR APPOINTMENT UN- LESS NATURALIZED. ‘That provision of the civil-service rules which requires women not born in this country to take out naturalizatton papers before they can be ex. amined, does not appear to have attracted much attention hitherto, ‘The rule which is based upon the use of the word “citizen” in the law, provides that every application in order to entitle the ap- plicant to appear for examination or to be ex- amined must state under oath the full name, ad- dress, &¢., “citizenship,” and other facts, In the applicatign blanks the frst question is: “Areyou a cluzen of the United States? If not by birth, have you been naturalized, and when?” It has Deen the ruling of the Commission all along that a woman not born fn this country must take out naturalization papers before she 1s entitled to be examined. Not many cases have arisen under this ruling. "The most recent ts that of a lady of Ohio, who wrote to the President complaining that'she had been cut off from the privilege of ex- aimtnation because she had not taken out naturall- zation papers. She protested that she 13 a8 and loyal a citizen as anybody, and that, with the exception of Mrs. Langtry, she had never heard of a Woman taking oWt such papers in this country. ‘The letter was referred to the Civil-Service Com- mission. oe Personal Movements, etc. Horace A.

The Work of Repairs and ment—Architect Clark’s Report. ‘Mr. Edward Clark, the architect of the United ‘States Capitol, in his annual report to the Secre- tary of the Interior states that the work in pre- paring for the new elevators for the Senate and ‘House wings 1s well under way, and gives an ac- count of other tmprovements made in the interior ofthe building. But Uttle has been done at the frescoes on the belt of the rotunda this season, owing to the absence of the artist, Mr. Costaggini. ‘It is expected that he will soon resume his work and continue tt until completion. ‘The report states that nothing has been done to- pe teem Mpeg BS all the bids invited were in excess of the amount available. The contract for the completion of the marble and granite work of the terrace and grand stairways has been awarded to the Vermont Mar- ble Co,, and the work is now in pt under conditions to complete the north stairway by the Ist of December next and the entire work by June 30, 1888, ene “ Prinelpal work on the has been the extensive grading and carting away the earth from the rustic teri and thus anieasy, slope from the walks of the new terrace. The earth taken away has been deposited in the road. way of the streets at the south of the Capitol and used in filling up the ponds in its immediate vicin- tty, thereby abating a nutsance. Mir. Fred Law Glmstead, the landscape gar. gener, in his report, says that {t 1s not advisable Uhat any provision "should be made at present for the surfacing of the unfinished roadways of the eastern ground, because {t ts thought, that Congress Will’ soon desire to have the present road system of the Capitol grounds extended $0 as to bring the new Ubrary into conventent and harmo- nious connection with the Capitol. In that case a modification of the course of some of the exist ing roads will be necessary, and it would be better to defer the expense of finishing them until a plan for the purpose has been adopted. ‘The report states that extensive improvements and repairs have been made to the court house Duilding tn this city. All the ola portion has been heated ‘by steam and placed in a good condition, Owing to the extension of the heating apparatus additional fuel vauits are required near the botler- rooms, ‘The sum of $37,586 was expended during the year for general repairs at the Capitol; $25,500 on the grounds; Capitol terraces, $140,200; lighting Capitol and’ grounds, $23,034; extending Senate ler vaults dud additional steam bollers, $10,500; erection of stable and carpenter-shop for the House, $6,500; courthouse, Washington, $12,000; im- provements and xepairs Botanic Gardens, $5,700. sisi eat aca THE CHANGES IN THE SCHOOL BOARD. Commissioner Webb Says there Were no Charges Against the Trustees He- moved, Commissioner Webb was asked to-day if charges had been preferred against Trustees Henry John- sonand A. P. Clark, which resulted in their re- moval from office on Tuesday last. “No,” replied Mr. Webb, “there were no charges, It was deemed better to reorganize the board. What the order says 1s true, The whole matter of their terms of service was mixed. Mr. Clark’s term expired a year or more ago, and he has con- tanued as trustee.” In the case of Mr. Johnson Mr Webb reaffirmed his previous statement that no charges have been made, WHAT EX-TRUSTER JOHNSON SAYS. Ex-School Trustee Henry Johnson, speaking to a Star reporter to-day about his removal, sald he Was not a “sorehead,” nor would he make any pro- test against the action of the Comussioners, ex- cept he did not like the statement attributed to Mr. Webb by THE Stak that 10 case his (Mr. Joan- son's) friends made a rumpus the reasons for the removal would be made known. This, he said, was construed as an insinuation that there were chirges against him. He had, he sald, written to Mr. Webb, ‘who denied’ that there was any charges against him. ‘The reason for the change among the colored school trustees, as understood by Mr. Johnson, was a request made by citizens of Southwest and Southeast Washington for repre- sentation on the board. ‘The eighth district ‘schools, located In the east and _sout have been under“ the charge of Prof. Gregory as trustee. Prof. Gregory lives in the county, Dr, Francis and Mr. Johnson, the other two trustees, reside in the northwest. Mr. Cornish, appointed in Mr. Johnson’s place, has not yet been assigned to a division, but there is talk of a redistribution so as to put him in charge of the eighth division schools, in which he lives, Dr. Francis in charge of the schools of the 7th divis- fon, in which he resides, and Prof. Gregory in charge of schools in the county. In such event aral interesting condition of affairs will exist: in the county. Prof. Gregory sought some years ago for admission to oue of the white schools of the county for bis son. Having been refused he began a suit against the trustees, which 1s sull pending. In case he is assigned to the county Schools he will ave control of the school to which IMs son was refused admission, and his action Will be watched with some interest. pore ‘The Big Pension Rol GEN.

Philadelphia and her hun- dreds of thousands of guests appeared on the streets early this morning in their holiday garb, Ught-hearted, and all bent toward the single ob Ject of making the celebration a titung one. All Way yesterday and last night visitors, including distinguished guests, military, and firemew, arrived by every possible conveyance, and UN dozen railroad depots were taxed to the utmost In accommodating the throng which flocked to the Cradle of Liberty to bear witness by their presence of their love and veneration for the historic docu- ment which gave them Mberty and freedom, and Made this a yovernment of the peaple, by the peo ple and for the people.
