Probably becuse of the perversion of figures by Mr. Petroff the preparation of the American counter cave has been somewhat delayed, but some correspondence between the De of State and the By hout Channel Confirmed Oftcially.

The Commission Anxious to Bring the Dis- trict Government Under the Rule. There is considerable doubt ‘about the exten. sion of the civil service rules tothe govern- ment printing office. The President bas been considering the whole question of tho extension sion as to whether he will do anything. If any extension is made, according to the plan under contemplation, the most probable thing is an municipal government of the District of Co- lumbia. : ‘The civil service commissioners will probably do no more than renew the recommendations they have made in their annual report for two or three years. The commission is really anxious that the offices under the District government | should be placed under the classified leervice. It th will not be apportioned among the several | states, ns is the case in the government service | generally, but these offices, being purely local, | will be reserved for the District people. To a Stax reporter who made inquiries as to this interesting phase of the proposed change Commissioner Roosevelt said: “We should treat the District offices Just as we do those connected with the city poat office; rm. | only residents of the District could be ited | examined or would be eligible for appointment, That you may feel assured of. Non-residents would very erly be completely out of it. The commission is interested in the applica- tion of the civil service reform principles to the Indian agencies, It1s not expected that | anything looking to that will be done at this | time, but Mr. Cleveland will be strongly urged | to correct the abuses of the spoils system in this particular servic It is Mr. Roosevelt's idea that there is not any | pressing need for a wide extension of the classi- | fied service at this time, and that it is much more important to have the law strictly enforced and carefully observed where it is now appli- jcabie. The extension to include the District offices he regards, however, as very desi re- in two for ‘al DY TO RECOMMEND IT.

What the Com- missioners are anxious for is to have the law. The matter of what offices should be included is w detail that might be settled as the best of the services calis for. THE COMMISSIONERS FAVOR IT. Commissioner Douglass, as president of the board, made the following rtatement in refer- ence to the matter to a Stak reporter this afternoon: “I saw the paragraph stating that the civil service commission had resommended the ap- plication of the system to district municipal offices. I was commissioner of internal revenue (or deputy) when the civil service proposi: tion was first practically attempted. I favored it then and have ever since, whether in office orout. There are a number of minor em- ployes in the District service who are occupied at irregular intervals and possivly it might be ward to apply the system to them. But this difficulty might be avoided by u plan of furlough. Without being specific, I am in favor of the civil service system and always have been. Its good effects where more apparent than in our city po office, where it has for years been practically in operation.” Commissioner Ross, in speaking on the sub- ject to THe Stan man today, said that he was eartily in favor of the proposition. “My experience in the city post office.” said he. “hus satisfied me the civil service brings in a high clase, of young men espe- cially, who would otherwise be hampered by a lack of political influence. A vast amount of | our time is consumed in hstening to appeals for office, and it would be a great) convenience to us and an advantage generally if all this sort of thing could be done away with, Furthermore the ‘The consul gen: of civil service system ives faithful and intelligent men a chance to obtain whatever promo- tion they may deserve. One possible objection that might rise in the way of the ex- tension of the law to the District government is removed when I say that the two political par- ties are so nearly equally balanced in our office now that neither would. be materially affected in any way by the change.” Capt. Rossel, ‘the Engineer Commissioner, also expreaséd himself as in favor of the prop- ovition, as he said it would relieve the board of agreat deal of unpleasant responsibility. —a GEORGETOWN CITIZENS’ COMPLAINT. ‘The Commissioners Will Give a Hearing to Both Parties Next Friday. The Commissioners recently received a lengthy petition signed by a number of citi- zens complaining that the Washington and Georgetown Railroad Company was committing a violation of the provisions of ite act of incor- poration and grievances against order in per- mitting its cars to stand at the termini of the road between trips. ‘The petition was re- ferred to Mr. Geo. C. Hazelton, attorney for the District, who made the following report on the matter toda; ‘he complaints herein made are the proper subjects for judicial action and determination, and every one of the gentlemen whose names appear at the end of the statement can, by making the proper complaint containing ® cause of action, have the whole question adjudicated and determined by the court. The Police Court is now open for the adjudication of all such cases, where not only the facts but tho law can be determined. I suggest that notice be given these parties to that effect.” ‘The Commissioners this afternoon notified President Hurt of the railroad, and Mr. Geo.

The attention of the Right Rev. Jobn J. Keane, rector of the Catholic University of America, was today called to the statement sent out from New York Inet night by the United Press Association concerning an alleged dis- cussion by the conference of Catholic urch- bishops in New York yesterday of the condition of the Catholic University in this city. In this statement it was said that the univer- sity is not ina stafe wholly satisfactory to the | the success it promised to be when it was extab- lished two years avo. The statement as sent out by the United Press further says: “‘At that time professors and instructors emi- inent in their own departments were selec from Rgrope and America to fill the several | chairs,ind it was unticipated that students would flock to the institution in large numbers. The result has been that the number of students on the nniversity roll is scarcely more than the membership of the faculty. “This unfortunate condition of distrnst is alleged to be due in » measure to the maladroit publication of a pamphlet on the eubject of education by one of the of in itome and was not in consonance with the ideas of the majority of the Catholic clergy in this country. This pamphlet was issued by Dr. Boquillon, who came from the Uni- versity of Lille. France, having been ap- pointed to the chair of moral thenlogy in Wash- ingion by Bishop Keane, the president of the Universit’ neral exceptions were taken to the tenor of this pamphlet, which was pro- nounced in its argument in favor of state super- vision over parochial schools, It was argued that the orthodoxy of the uni- versity should be above suspicion aud all ite teachings should be in perfect accord with the decisions of the holy sce and the decree of the Baltimore council, BISHOP KEANE’S STATEMENT. Bishop Keane read the article in questionand towreporter made the following preliminary statement, which may be foilowed by one more specific in character if upon inquiry the bishop learns that the university was one of the sub- jecta discussed in yesterday’ conference: won to believe that the uni- versity has been in any way discussed at the meeting of the archbishops in New York. I consider it very unlikely since the affairs of the university are in the hands of a board yor directors, five of whom are archbishops. and who hold meetings annually, the last me: | ing having been held in May last. The asser- | tion that the affairs of the university in an | unsatisfactory seems on the face of it gratuitous, to say the — lea: No | such conclusions was reached by the board of directors, who carefully looked into the «fairs | of the university last May. The statement in university cannot have emanated from any one who has authoritative knowledge of the na- ture of the institution and who is will- ing to do it justice. In the first place, it is a post-graduate institution exclusively, and any one acquainted with the | university methods knows that meansmany pro- fessors and few students. Any mi: ascertain thik by referring, to the post | | graduate institutions of the country. Next, it hever was expected, ax ass@ted, that students would flock to it in great numbers. This is | manifest not only from the reason just given but also from the plain fact that the stad | being thus far only ecclesiastical students have | power to flock to thew | else, but must go just wh them. | heir bishop sends ‘The bishops of the country have again and again declared that would | gladly send more students, but | ‘that’ the difficulty of supplying the | | needs of the parishes renders it impossible for | them to send as many as they would wish. The allegation that the fewness of the students is | caused by a spirit of distrnst, and that this is in | | some degree owing to Dr. Bouqiullon’s pamphlet | | on the school question, has no formdation in | fact. Before Dr. Bouquillon’s pamphlet ap- peared the list of students had been com- pleted, not only for the rs 1889 year = 1591. | The pamphlet could evidently. therefore, have bad no bearing upon the number of students | | during the past three years. That it has had | j no st ich effect t! year is manifest from the |fact that several bishops, «ho found it impracticable to send’ students be- \fore, have this yer managed — to do so and that not one of ihe former patrons of | the university has in any way shown distrust | nor an fiwillingness to send students as be- |fore.

Plenty of Good Things and Reasonable Prices to Prevail. The readers of Tur Stax, which means every one in the District, will be delighted to learn | through it that the coming Thanksgiving mar- ket will be not only the best’ supplied, but | also, what will prove still more _pleas- ant to know, the most reasonable known | here for many years. As the people of Wash- ington well know there is no market in the world which supplies more delicacies or pre- sents them in a more attractive way. Said the manager of one of the leading game and fish dealers in the Center market to a Stax reporter this morning: “I never heve, in all my twenty ‘years or more experience here, known a time when our market was better supplied with all the good things of life. and the prices are more reasonable thin for some time. There will be no advance in the prices for Thanks- giving. If there isa movement in any direc- | tion the prices will go dow: A tour of the market by the reporter sub- stantiated this dealer's opinion.

Wild | turkeys will bring from 15 to 20 cents. Chick- ens, geese and ducks can be had for from 10 to 15." To those who prefer that game shall grace the Thankegiving table it can be said that the unapproachable canvas back can be had for 86 per pair, the red head for $3.50and the mal- lard for $1.50. Quail are very plentiful. They are in excellent condition and can be had for $2.50 per dozen. West Virginia venison, the choicest received here, brings, steaks 35, hams 25 and saddles 25 cents per pound. ‘Terrapin, the Potomac dia- mond back, are plentiful and sell from $3 to 860 a dozen, the bulls selling at the lowest and the cows at the highest figures. There will be an excellent supply of fish, oysters and lobsters ‘and no rise in prices. The supply of grapes of all varieties is un- bounded. Florida string beans are selling at 75 cents per peck and North Carolina peas for the same. Florida pineapples are coming in and sell for 15 and 20 cents sploce.
