Great Pressure Now Brought Against the Civil Service Barriers. THE RESULT OF THE CLEARING OUT OF THE CENSUS OFFICE—-WHY SECRETARIES FOSTER AND RUSK ARE MARKED AS OBJECTS OF ATTACK —AN ORGANIZED MOVEMENT POSSIBLE. Even at the beginning of a new administra- tion there is seldom such an eager seeking after minor offices under the government as is going on at this time. The civil service law is having a severe test, and at the close of the day the heads of the departments go home thanking their stars that there is such a law for their protection. Every department of the govern- ment is being besieged and the strongest polit- ical influence from all parte of the country is brought to bear upon the heads of the depart- ments to induce them to make appointments whether the Inw permits it or not. In many cases applicants do not hesitate to urge the officials to devise some means of evading the law. WHERE THE PRESSURE COMES FROM. This all grows out of the clearing up of an immense dmount of the work of the census office and the consequent dismissal of the cle There are some 1,500 of these clerks dismissed or to be dismissed, « very large pro- portion of whom have no otlier means of live- hood immediately in vlew if the government Will not take care of them. When the census ontice was organfed the civil service commis sion tried to induce the President to put the clerical force under the civil service rules, but Mr. Porter resisted thi. claiming that he could Ret a better force if allowed to select his own employes in his own way. He established a system of examinations, not competitive, and some of the percentages of applicants who got appointments were high. ‘These examinations, however. were not in accordance with the re- form law and did not place the employes within the classified wervice. None of them can be WANTED (Miscellaneous). Govenxaenr Recents Topay.—Internal rev- enue, €475,395; customs, $1,024,030. ACoxsct Recooxizep.—The President has recognized Jose Carlos Fernandez as vice consul of Portugal at New Orleans, La.

Secoxp Lrect. Evarse T. Wisox, first ar- tillery, is detailed as professor of military sci- ence and tactics at the Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, and will report in person for duty according): Secretary Rusk will leave Washington nexd week to be ubsent four or five weeks, during which time he will visit a number of Grand Army post meetings and attend some of the state agricultural fairs. | The remainder of the time will be epent at his home in Wisconsin. Derr Ox Corpen.—The collector of customs at San Francisco has been instructed to follow the practice adopted at New York and other eastern ports of assessing duty at the rate of 4g per cent per pound on copper in excess of 2 per cent contained in silver-lead ores. Asststaxt SrcneTany Spaviprne has decided that certain drawings and sketches of buildings executed in Europe by an architectural student traveling in that country to study his profes- sion, us holder of the Botch traveling schoiar- ship of Boston, may be entered free of duty as the work of an American artist, Repemrrtox oF D:srrict Boxps.— Acting Treasurer Whelpley has utilized « portion of the sum of 22,412,000 received from Harvey Fisk & Sons of New York in payment of Dis- trict of Columbia 3!4 per cent bonds in the re- 050 demption of $2.00 the old € and 7 per cent bonds of tie Wut. Sexp Taex Back.—Mr. Woolf of Chi- cago has notified the Treasury Department that he will cause the return of the two Japancse laborers imported by him to operate jintick- shaws (Japanese vehicles) in accordance with the decision of the ‘Trensury Department that their presence in this country was in violation of the alien contract labor Jaw. Tue Port Towssexp Coutzctor.—Trensury officials have not yet received the report of the United States government agents sent to Port Townsend to investigate the alleged defalcation of Collector Bradshaw. ‘The report of the agents is now on its way to Washington. It is mentioned as singular ‘that the three prede- cessors of Bradshaw have been defaulters. Tue Asiatic SquapRos.—The commander-in- chief of the asiatic station reports the location of his ships on the 19th of June as follows: Monocacy, temporary flag ship, at Yokohama, Japan; Alliance. at ‘Shanghai, China, watching transferred to other departments when their census work is done, and. therefore, the tre- mendous effort to break down the barrier put up by the civil service law. AN ORGANIZED EFFORT POSSIBLE. A great many clerks started out with the as- sumption that after baving been for a year or more in Mr. Porter's bureau they could easily gontrivesome means of evading the law, and how an organized effort to break down the law, at least so far as to let in those who passed Mr. Porter's “civil service examination,” is threat- ened. There being so many of these employes, coming from various parts of the country, and all supported by congressional influence of some sort, many of them entertain the that if they can get their congressional fluence” to work together they can break throngh the lines and get into the classified service. Some of the members of Congress who have always opposed the civil service law propose to take advantage of this opportunity and they threaten that a» soon as Congress meets they will attempt to repeal or amend the we Their prospects of success are not very good, however. The heads of the departments have already had too well demonstrated to them what would be the result of letting down the bars. With the law at their backs they are plagued almost to death with petitions and ap- peals, touching both their sympathies and their political interests. If the law were brushed uside it would be impossible tor them te with- stand the pressure. AFTER SECRETARIES FOSTER AND RUSK. Secretary Foster and Secretary Rusk, both being regarded as men who believe in pruc- tical politics, with further political preferment in mind, are the principal victims of the office- seekers, With the Ohio campaign on hand and alarge number of Obioans among those who have gone or are scon to go out of the census office, Mr. Foster is being put under a regular thumbscrew pressure. Many of the applicants armed with the strongest influence that enn furnish and are importunate in their appeals and demands to be taken care of. Some gone to the trouble to take a civil service examination and are using their influence to force desiguations. Some of those in this situ ation have got appointments as substitutes at haif pay for clerks who are on leave of absence and are expecting fall appointment when the substitute kervice ends, though it is not clear how such nppoiutments can be made without violating the law. ‘The places in Mr. Rusk’s department are not as desirable, for the most part, as are those in other departinents, but there’ are many em- meres in the seed division outside the ‘classi- ied service, and this fact draws fire toward him. ‘There are hundreds of ex-census clerks who are ready to use their political influence to secure him the next presidential nomination if he will provide for them in some way. The ‘il service commissioners are inj with questions designed to discover i any means of evading the law. CONTROLLER MYERS’ CORRECTION. He Denies the Accuracy of Superintendent Porter's Figures us to New York. Controller Myers of New York city has sent a communication to the superintendent of cen- sus, Robert P. Porter, relative to the alleged inaccuracy of census bulletin No. 82, issued by the census bureau. The letter is as follows: Crry or New York, Frvaxce Derantwenr, Coxtnouer’s Orrice, July 8, 1891.

UNITED STATES AGENTS Selected to Look Into the Behring Sea Seal Fisheries. In order that the government of the United States may be fully prepared with all necessary technical information respecting the actual state of the Behring sea seal fisheries and the effect of the depredations of pelagic sealers, in the probable event of early arbitration of the United States rights in those waters, the President has decided to send two agents to Alaska to gather the necessary information.

He didn't get the information. “The news?” queried Mr. Douglass. ‘Well, you might say that the idea that I might have interferedto stop the fighting in Hayti is totally, utterly absurd. What a proposition! No, on second thoughts, you might leave that untouched. It is too ridiculous a state- ment to notice. Iam merely up here to con- sult with Mr. Foster about a matter of mutual interest. No, not altogether personal. It af- fects the government somewhat.” Is it of such a nature that it could appear in print?” asked the reporter. “No. I don't think that it is ripe enough yet,” was the reply. ‘Have you decided upon the date of your re- turn to Hayti7” asked the reporter. ‘Ihave decided upon nothing. It strikes me, thongh, that the best advice upon this subject came from Tag Stax when it snid that as between Anacostia and Haytiasa place of residence I should choose Anacostia.’ The word dropped by Mr. Douglass in refer- ences to Mr. Foster is regarded as significant and probably means that the negotiator of Teciprocity agreements is conducting a quiet investigation into the commercial affairs of Hayti, through Mr. Douglass, with a view to determining the advisability of endeavoring to establish a new trade with that neighboring republic. Mr. Foster was at the State Department this morning at the same time as Mr. Douglass and there were several conferences between them and the officials of the department. Itis understood that when the North Atlan- tic squadron left Hayti this spring Mr. Douglass told one of the officers that it was his intention to resign before long. ~ ARE THEY FILIBUSTERS? Two Hundred Men Sald to Have Been Shipped From Norfolk for Mexico, A letter has been received by a government official here which appears to give color to the report that a revolutionary movement is being fomented in Mexico, one of onr neighboring republics. The writer says that a man calling himself Capt. Annett has been engaged in Nor- folk, Va., in shipping men for treasure hunt in Mexican waters. The captain seid be wanted only 75 men, but the writer is informed that he has shipped over 200. Moreover he has learned that the vessel which is to carry the party is now secretly engaged in taking aboard a large quantity of arms and ammunition at a port on Long Island sound. The writer says he oes not want a) get himeelf in trouble, and above all does not want to fight, and although he has signed to go ou the expedition he will withdraw if there is any illegal act in contemplation. Officials here are not disposed to attach much importance to the communication, as they believe that a filibustering expedition would be conducted with more coation than appears to be shown in this case. They are also puzzled to guess the destination of the party if it should be of war- like intent, but the chances are even that it jpeant toaid @ revolution in either Hayti or lexico. ——_—____ se CAPE MAY OR ATLANTIC CITY. ‘The Washington Light Infantry Will Encamp ‘at One of These Resorts. The annual encampment of the Washington Light Infantry Corps this year pro to be one of the most successful in the his- tory of the organization. The committee having in charge all preliminary arrangements have been hard at work luying their plans for the summer's outing and on Saturday next ‘number of its members will leave for Atlan- tic City to look over the ground there before the corps shall be called upon to decide defi- nitely as to the place for the encamp- ment. This committee consists of Capt Allison Nailor, Capt. A. W. Kelley, Capt. John 8. Miller, Capt. Chas. C. M. Loeffler, Dr. H. E. Leach and Dr. Chas. R. Luce. The encampment will be beld during the latter part of August and either at Cape May or Atlantic City. The committee has already visited Cape May and learned whit ac- commodations and inducements there are there and fuli meeting of the corps will be held at the armory next Wednesiay to decide astoitschoice between the two places. It looks now as though Atlantic City would be the place chosen. At Cape May the corps was tendered the use of a large tract of lawn space adjoining the Stockton, fully large enough to accommodate all the tenta. At Atlantic City the large lawn that was formerly used by the Light Infantry for its camp has since been cut throngh by a street and has also been subdivided into build ing lo’ so, that it was thought sccommoda- tions could not be had there. It seams now, however, as though the Washington boys would be able todoeven better there than in years one by. ‘The late Mr. Hamilton Disston when Ea bequeathed to the city a large tract of ground on the condition that it should never be used for building parposes. It ison this picce of ground that the Infantry will probably pitch their tents. Mrs, Disston has already given a ready consent. Mr. Lee, the other trustee, is now in the south, but he is expected to be back before the committee reaches there, and it is not thoaght that be will be likely to raise any objection, ‘Ihe site isa good one and near several hotels, where the friends of the soldier boys can be accommodated in force. en A Chinese Controversy, Assistant Secretary Spaulding has instructed the collector of customs at Port Huron, Mich., in the caso of a Chinaman arrested there for illegal entry, to send bim to San Fran- cisco for deportation to China. A con- troversy has arisen between the Treasury Department and certain United States com- missioners at Detroit and Suspension Bridge, New York, as to the ition to be made of Chinamen convicted of being illegally in the United States. The law save they be re- turned to the country “whence they came.” ‘The department holds that this means that they shall be sent to China, notwithstanding they may have entered the United Stutes from Canada or other contiguous territory. The commissioners in the cities named have re- cently, in cases where it was proved that the Chinamen were smuggled-in through Canada, ordered their return to despite the protestaticr of Assistant Secretary Spaulding that they should have been sent to San Fran- isco for to China. > fuss been seleeted’ to Atbscnnpy Geaseal Britee for an opinion.

Sax Dizco, Cat, July 9.—The penalty of £500 which the Treasury Department has de- manded of the steamer Itata for leaving port without clearance papers bas not been paid yet, but will probably be pafd soon. Marshal Gerd reseized the Itata yesterday and placed an officer in charge. This act Was necessary in connection with the libel pro- ceedings commenced by the United States district attorney. It is now understood here that attorneys had advised Capts. Mauzen and Tejeda to pay the money at once, get the vessel released from custody of the custom officers and before Marshal Gard could reseize the Itata to get out of San Diego harbor quick as steam would carry her.
