Its Members Rapidly Joining the As- sociated Pre: The lengthy and altogether ingenious article concerning the relations of the Southern Associated Press with the Asso- ciated Press which appeared in a number of the New York papers yesterday is so full of mis-statement as to seem to require a reply. The facts are these: On October 4, 182, an agreement was entered into between the Southern Associated Press, the Associated Press and the United Press for an exchange of news. To this general contract was ad: ded the following: Supplemental to an agreement this day made between the Southern Associated Press, William Penn Nixon, Victor F. Law- son, Frederick Driscoll, C. W. Knapp and their associates and the United Press, the undersigned agree, in case of any difference of opinion as to assessments between the leans, and the other members of the South- ern Associated Press, to abide by the de- erick Driscoll and C. W. Knapp, and such decision shall be final and be accepted in good faith. (Signed) EVAN, P. HOWELL, President Southern | Associated Press. ADOLPH S. .OCHS, Secretary Southern Associated Press. C. F. POOLE, for Times-Democrat and Picayune. The undersigned accept the trust to act as arbitrators in case of any disagreement between the above papers. (Signed) VICTOR F, LAWSON, FREDERICK DRISCOLL, CHARLES W. KNAPP. Chicago, October 24, 1802 Such a diffevence as was foreshadowed in the above agreement did arise gome months since. The. New Orleans new*pa- pers presented their case to the arbitrators and the Southern Associated Press made answer. After a full hearing a decision was refdered reducing the assessments of the Times-Democrat and Picayune by a small amount. This adjudication was made in January last, and was accepted by the Southern Associated Press, which organt zation thereafter the New Orleans papers at a low rate. On the 22d of the present month, how- ever, the general manager of the Southern Associated Press suddenly repudiated the decision of the arbitrators and demanded that the New Orleans papers pay him the | whole amount involved in the reduction since January, basing his claim upon the untenable ground that the arbitration pro- vision applied only in case of an attempt to Increase assessments of the New Orleans papers. This outrageous demand being re- fused, the service of the Southern Assoctiat- ed Press to the New Orleans papers was summarily suspended. As in honor and duty bound, the Associated Press at once | furnished its news service to the Times- Democrat and the Picayune And thus it happened, out of this wanton disregard of its written contract, that the southern association finds itself in trouble. | The Associated Press, with its vast re- sources; with its wires spanning the coun- try from St. John’s, N.B., to San Francisco, Seattle and San Diego, and from Duluth, Minn., to New Orleans, Galveston and San Antonio, with an income in excess of its expenses, with a membership which in- cludes % per cent of all the daily newspa- pers of consequence in the country, will go steadily on, furnishing its members with a | news service of the highest excellence, honestly gathered from original sources Bie Te igen | thFOUghout the world and trustworthy to the last degree. And as to the southern association, it may be said that white cne or two of its officers have thus committeed it to a dis- honorable course, the individual members are turning to the Associated Press with surprising unanimity. Four of them have already signed ninety-year contracts with the Associated Press and several others are now negotiating to the seme end. At this moment the Associated Press has twice as many miles of leased wire south of the Mason and Dixon line as all other press associations combined. MELVILLE E.

Committce Appointed to Look Into Serious Charges—Other Local Notes of General Interest. The semi-mcnthly meeting of the city council was held last night, but only a few matters were brought before it. Sev- eral matters were referred to the various committees for report and action. Quite a bombshell was thrown when Councilman James R. Caton of the third ward intro- the police force of the city on the order of the Lexow committee in New York. The bill introduced set forth that the police ring matches which have been held at the Henry Athletic) Club at intervals for some time past, and receiving pay from the management of the club for allowing them to be conducted, and further, that policy is openly played in the city and the police force are thoroughly aware of it, and the members of the force are paid by those who run the games for their protection. A committee of five, consisting of Councll- men Caton, Burke and Evans and Alder- men Lindsay and Evans, was appointed to investigate the matter. They will at once organize and proceed with the investi- gation. A stronger committee could not have been chosen than the gentlemen selected, and it is needless to say that the work will be well done.

They Are Practically Unanimous for Extending It to the Dis- trict Offices. From Progress. Progress believed that insufficient time and debate was given the resolution presented to the board of trade at its last rreeting relative to extending the rules of civil service reform to the District of Co- lumbia. It believed that many did not fully understand its import, and, swayed by the ringing words of disapproval ut- tered by Mr. Fardon, many did not vote at all. The question has since become quite thoroughly discussed in the daily press, and it then occurred to Progress to poll a vote of the board. Its communication to the board read as follow WASHINGTON, D. My Dear Si . Progress desires to poll a vote of the entire membership of the “Board of Trade” upon the question, “Should Civil Serv! Reform be extended to the District of lumbia?” with the addition of a “home rule” plank. By kindly voting upon the inclosed postal card (for or against) and mailing it to us, you will greatly oblige, Yours, very truly, WM. A, HUNGERFORD. Progress now feels fully justified in its action, since the vote is practically unanimous in favor of the resolution. It did not really see wherein there could be any objection to civil service reform, since it but means honest and more effi- cient service. The question is very much within the province of the Board of trade. In fact, it was organized to advance the interests of the city in every possible man- ner, and bettering its local government is certainly benefiting the city. Naturally, hoiel proprietors, and a few others pecu- niarily interested in the periodical influx of office-seekers, are opposed to it, but it is nowt surprising that any merchant should e. . Civil service reform is not a political ques- tion. The meaning of reform is “to change for the better.” There are already indica- tions of disintegration in the old parties. A new party is wanted! A reform party—a party for good, honest government, irre- spective of race or creed. The people ask- ed for it at the receut election polls. They were tired of bossism, of machine politics. They voted for the only party then arrayed against that already in power. They really did not vote for the republican party. They voted the republican ticket in hope of re- torm. The partes of the future will be “honesty against dishonesty.” The moral against the corrupt. The broad American- ism against anarchism! Let us have civil service reform. Let it be extended to the ends of the earth. Let us have good, hon- est government, local and national. Let meritorious service be rewarded by promo- tion. Let the best men for the positions fill them. Let the local and national gov- ernment be conducted upon the same fun- damental principles as prevail in modern business establishments. Let us have no parties nor politics other than for honest government. It is the constant fear of losing their po- sitions at the change of each administra- tion that makes the department clerks economize fully three months previous to and three months after each election. Progress prophesies that the resolu- tion will be taken from the table at the next meeting of the board, debated, amended with a home-rule clause and passed almost unanimously. he members of Nov. 20, 1804. Commissioner Ross says: “I have always been thoroughly committed to civil service reform principles, and had an opportunity to see how admirably it worked while post- master.

Editor of “Progress,” City. Dear Sir: In answer to your inquiry as to whether I am in favor of the resolution introduced in the board of trade reculating the civil service of the District J nngesi- tatingly say “yes.” At the meeting of the board of trade, at which I was present, I took it for granted that the resolution having been agreed to unanimously by the board of directors there weuld be no question as co its adopiion, and when Dr. Fardon rose to oppose it I Gic not even deem it necessary to say a word in reply, taking it for granted that the resolution would be adopted. And I feel sure that if the matter was to come before the board of trade again to be dis- cussed in all its bearings in a dispassion ate,calm manner, there would be a rever: of the action taken. ‘As to the home rule plank—that needs to be considered from many standpoints. Ae to the main offices, there can be no ques- | tion that the home rule should be applied, but when it comes to the great mass of positions to be filled in the various branch- es of the.

I do not desire to vote upon the question except as a mem- ver of the beard of trade, when the sub. ject is presented. My communication. to" The Star a few days ago embraces m: views as to clvil service reform as applied to the appointments under the general gov- ernment. As to the appointments under the Dis- | trict government, I am in favor of a dis. tinct law. Ist. All clerical appointments vp to and including $1,800 per year (not, of course, to apply to the collector of taxes, | assessors, etc.). 2d. None but actual resi- dents of the District to be eligible to ap- | pointment. Sd. No Imitation as to maai- mum age. I never could see any reason for punishing a man because he arrived at the age of forty-five years as to make hiin ineligible to serve the government as a clerk (except he should have served in the army). Men of good character of over forty-five years of age, with the experi- ence of years’ of labor and study, should be given at least an equal chance to ob- tain employment. Very respectfully, A. P.

AFFAIRS INGEORGETOWN Filthy Condition of Rock Creek Stirs Up Citizens. Many Other Notes of a General, Local, Social and Personal Character —Cattle Market. “That filthy sewer and constant menace to health,” as Congressman Kilgore calls Rock creek, is again agitating the people of this section. The alleged flushings, citi- zens say, have become intolerable nuis- ances. They amount to nothing but the letting out of the water through the open- ing of the mouth dam and the exposure of the heavy filth that sinks to the bottom. The odors, being then unsuppressed, rise in strength to the streets above. The of- fense on these occasions Is against the e; and nose. It is almost impossible to actu- ally flush the creek above the point where the Chesapeake and Ohio canal empties !t- self. It was thought that the opening of the creek’s outlet-dam gates would partially remedy an evil. It has, in fact, the citi- zens say, aggravated it.
