CONSULAR OFFICERS The Civil Service System Extended to a Large Number. TEXT OF THE PRESIDENTS ORDER Secretary Olney’s Communication Recommending the Action. THE NUMBER AFFECTED By an executive order issued today the President has extended the civil service system in a modified form to all consular officers whose compensation, directly and through fees, range from $1,000 to $2,500, being about one-half of the total number ef the consuls who receive over $1,000 a year. This is done by reviving in sub- stance an old order of 1873. By the terms of the new order vacancies in the consular service may be filled, first, by transfer or promotion; second, by appointment of qual- ified persons tormerly in the employ of the State Department, and, lastly, by direct appointment by the President of persons found qualified after a non-competitive ex- amination. Text of the Order. The following is the text of the order: “EXECUTIVE MANSION, “September 20, 1895. “It being of great importance that the consuls and commercial agents of the Uni- ted States shall possess the proper qualifl- cations for their respective positions, to be ascertained either through a satisfactory record of previous actual service under the Department of State or through an ap- prepriate examination: “It is hereby ordered, that any vacancy in a consulate or commercial agency now or hereafter existing the salary of which is not more than $2,500 nor less than $1,000, or the compensation of which, if derived from olficial fees, exclusive of notarial and other unoflicial receipts, does not exceed $2,500 nor fall below $1,000, shall be filled (a) by a transfer or promotion from some other po- sition under the Department of State of a character tending to qualify the incumbent for the position to be filled; or (b) by ap- pointment of a person not under the De- partment of State, but having previously served thereunder to its satisfaction in a capacity tending to qualify him for the po- sition to be filled; or (c) by the appointment of a person who, having furnished the customary evidence of character, responsi- bility and capacity, and being thereupon selected by the President for examination, is found upon such examination to be quali- fied_for the position. “For the ptrpceses of this order notarial and unofficial fees shall not be regarded, but the compensation of a consulate or commercial agency shall be ascertained, if the office is salaried, by reference to the lest preceding appropriation act, and if the cflice is not salaried, by reference to the re- turns of official fees for the last preceding fiscal year. The examination hereinbefore provided for shall be by a board of three persons designated by the Secretary of State, who_ shall also prescribe the subjects to which such examination shall relate and the gen- eral mode of conducting the same by the board. “A vacancy in a consulate will be filled at discretion only when a suitable appoint- ™ment cannot be made in any of the modes indicated in the second paragraph of this order. GROVER CLEVELAND.” Secretary Olney’s Communication, The executive order was based on the fol- lowing communication from Secretary Ol- ney to the President, bearing date of the 17th instant: = “Complaints of the consular serivce of the United States, of the incompetency of con- suls, and of the injurious consequences to great public interests, are not infre- quently brought to the notice of the de- Partment, sometimes by direct communtica- tion, but more commonly through the me- dium of the public press. That they are not always well founded is clear, and in- stances are by no means rare in which interested parties Indulge in the severest condemnation of officials whose only fault has been a proper adherence to the line of their legitimate duties. Merchants, or others, who demand that public functions shall be ignored or exceeded for the pro- motion of particular and private ends ought to find themselves disappointed, and, if they are, may be expected to rail with- out stint at the officer who has refused to be their tool. Nevertheless, the consular office is of great importance in its rela- tion to the commercial interests of the country—every consul should, so far as practicable, be chosen for his special fit- ness for the particular position in which he is to serve—and it cannot be denied that, while complaints against consuls are in some cases unwarranted, there are only too many others which cannot be so re- garded. It is contended by boards of trade, chambers of commerce and other like bodies all over the country that if our consular service were what it should be and our consuls were officials chosen for their fitness for the duties to be dis- charged by them, the results to the trade and commerce of the country would be of the most favorable character. The con- tention seems reasonable in Itself, and ts supported by the practice afid experience of Great Britain and other European coun- tries. Congress has, to some extent, rec- ognized its justness by the statutes provid- ing for consular pupils and consular cle: to be appointed upon satisfactory evi- dence of qualification, derived through ex- aminations -or otherwise. By the act of 1864 these officials, originally limited to twenty-five in number and called consular pupils, are designated as consular clerks and limited to thirteen in number, and are not to be removed from office except for cause stated to Congress in writing. It is pertinent to note, also, in this con- nection, that at the last session of Con- gress bills to improve the consular service by securing competency and fitness in its officers were introduced into the Senate by representatives of both political par- ties. It is the executive branch of the gov ernment, however, which might be ex- pected to be most strungly impressed with the defects of our consular service and by which appropriate measures for remov- ing them would most naturally be initiated. The Order of 1866. “Hence, it is not surprising to find that in 1866 the Department of State promulgated an order requiring all applicants for con- sulates to present themselves for examina- tion at the department. Neither the origi- nal order nor any copy of it can now be found. But the board of examiners, con- sisting of the second assistant secretary of state, the examiner of claims and the offi- cer in charge of the consular division, met, organized, and held examinations under the order, and out of nine applicants ap- proved seven as satisfactory. The other two were held not to be qualified, one be- cause lacking in knowledge of foreign lan- guages, and the other because of general incompetency. It does not appear that more than one examination was held under this order of 1866, and the next step taken in the same direction seems to have been Nicotine Neutralized CHEW AND SMOKE MUAUOL POUCH TOBACCO.

The temperature has risen in Rocky mountain districts. The condi- tions of extreme heat extended, on Satur- day and Sunday, to New England, and con- tinued throughout the middle Atlantic states, the central valleys and the lake regions with maximum temperatures rang- ing from ninety to ninety-eight degrees, and from one to ten degrees above the record of any previous years for the third ten days of September. Temperatures of ninety- eight degrees occurred on Sunday at Wash- ington, Lynchburg, Raleigh and Charlotte; ninety-six degrees at New York, Philadel- phia, Baltimore, Wilmington and Louls- ville; and ninety-four degrees at Boston, Albany and Harrisburg. Loc: rains and thunder storms have pre- vailed in the Mississippi valley and upper lake region. Fair weather continues in all other districts.

This crder, made like that of April 16, 1872, under the civil service act of March 3, 1871, and during the life of the commission organized under that statute, is as follows: “Vacancies occurring in any grade of consulates or clerkships in the de- partment may be filled either by transfer frcm some other grade or service, clerical, ccrsular or diplomatic under the Depart- ment of State, or by the appointment of scme person who has previously served under the Department of State to its sat- isfaction, or by the appointment of some perscn who has made application to the Sccretary of State with proper certifi- cates of character, responsibility and ca- pacity, in the manner provided for applica- tions for consulates of which the annua) compensation is more than one thousand dcllars and less than three thousand dol- lars, and who has, on examination, been found qualified for the position.” Former Examinations. “Under this order an examination board was organized by the Secretary of State, consisting of three officials serving in the State Department at Washington. A gen- eral regulation was also adopted, by which, upon a consulate becoming vacant, notice in writing in a form prescribed by the Sec- retary of State was sent to applicants for consulships. “This notice stated in substance that the vacancy had occurred, that the applicant wag tu attend for examination at the State Department on a day named; that in addi- tion to the usual subjects he would be ex- amined upon the third and eieventh chap- ters of the first volume of Kent's Com- mentaries, and upon the ‘Regulations for the Consular Service of the United States;’ that reasonable time would be given an ap- plicant to familiarize himself with such ‘regulations,’ copies of which could be had for eighty cents; and that before such ex- amination the applicant must file with the department a paper certifying to his hon- esty, trustworthiness, gcod repute, steady habits and capacity to perform the duties of a consul, and signed either by a person personally known to the Secretary of State, or by some person with means of informa- tion vouched for by one personally known to the Secretary of State. Conformably to these regulations made under the executive order of March 14, 1873, quite a number of persons were examined during the years and 1874. The examinations were con- ducted through questions and answers in writing, and the examination papers are still on file in the department. The system thus generally described is said to have worked well in practice, and to have both improved the consular service and relieved the department of much embarrassment. It was nevertheless short-lived, and though the necessary connection between the two things is not obvious, it seems to have been given up simultaneously with the relin- quishment of its functions by the civil ser- vice commission of 1871, a relinquishment brought about by the refusal of Congress to make any appropriaticns for that branch of the service. The Present Civil Service Act. “The civil service act of 1871, now in force as section 1753 of the Revised Statutes, au- thorizes the President ‘to prescribe such regulations for the admission of persons into the civil service of the United States as may best premote the efficiency thereof, and ascertain the fitness of each candidate in respect to age, health, character, knowl- edge and ability for the branch of service into which he seeks to enter; and for this purpose he may employ suitable persons to conduct such inquiries, and may prescribe their duties and establish regulations for the conduct of persons who may receive ap> pointments in the civil service.’ It may be that these statutory provisions cannot be so utilized as to bring out that complete re- form and improvement of the consular serv- ice which are universally conceded to be de- sirable. It may be that costly and-elabor- ate machinery of the character provided by the Senate bills already referred to will be found necessary to that end. But, even if that be so, it is still to be remembered that the provisions of those bills have not yet been enacted by Congress and may never be, and that meanwhile it can do no harm, and may do much good, to make a thorough trial of the efficiency of such regulations as are authorized by section 1758 of the Revised Statutes. I therefore venture to recommend the adoption of an executive order in the terms of a paper which is hereto appended. It differs in detail, rather than in principle, from the other executive orders already re- ferred to. It assumes that consuls may properly be chosen from two classes of persons without examination, namely, from persons already in the service of the State Department, or from persons formerly in its service, and who in each case have not only satisfactory records of service, but of service tending to qualify them for the duties of consul. “It requires all other persons, being first selected as eligible for examination upon the ordinary proofs of competency and gocd character, to submit themselves to an examination designed to test their aptitude and fitress for the special functions of the cersular office. Thug, on the one hand, the appointing power fs left at liberty to avail itself of whatever special capacity and fit- ness for tho consular office actual service has demonstrated to exist. On the other hard, by reserving to itself the designation of the persons eligible for examination, the appointing power protects itself to some extent at least from the @frors sure to fol- Icw from absolute relidnce'tpon purely academic tests of fitness. Finally, it should be borne in mind that the order now recom- qeended is in no sense final ay exhaustive. Errerlerce will doubtlecs prove in what respects it may be amended or enlarged to the advantage of the pubife interest. But meanwhile it may surely jbe claimed for it that it will be at least a step. in the right direction, and a step to be judged of not by the advance it itself makes, but by the ad- vance it may rightly bé expected to in- evitably lead to. E Application of the Grder. “The incumtents of such consular offices as are scarcely infericr in dignity and tm- pertance to that of minister eed it Is be- lieved, continue to be sglected as hereto- fcre at the sersonal diseretion and upon the personal responsibility of the executive. It is to be torne in mind, too, that there are a large number of such offices the emoluments of which are less than $1,000— tho lowest salary attached by law to any corsular position—which are paid only by fees, and which, as a rule, must be filled frcm the residents of the particular local- ity where the office is established. The an- ngxed order, therefore, does not apply to ether of these classes. On the other hand, it does in terms apply to commercial agents, so called, officers with functions to all intents and purposes the same as con- suls, and thus embraces within its opera- tion nearly three-fourths of the whole number of corsular and quasi consular of- fices of such rank and yielding such com- pensation as to be desired and sought for by citizens resident within the United States.

Ben Single, colored, sold a large, fat and fine-looking bay horse to Mrs. Tuley, she agreeing to take it after it was tried to skow that it was gentle, as stated. At 10 o'clock this morning Single hitched up the horse to a two-wheel cart on F street north- west near North Capitol street. While Sirgle was holding the reins, and before he could get into the cart, the horse started to run along F street, dragging Single, who hung to the reins. At New Jersey avenue Sirgle slipped and fell to the street. The wheel cf the cart barely missed running over him. Though scratched and bruised considerably, still Single was’not seriously hurt. The horse, now feelinghimself free, increased his speed, and tried’ to turn from F street into Ist street,: the latter bein, quite narrow at this point. The horse ha crcesed the street car track,/land tried to turn into Ist street, when: it slipped on the asphalt, fell on its side; and slid till its head struck the curbstolie, and broke its neck, and dicd in a momént. "The cart was taken from the dead animaland wheeled home. Mrs. Tuley looked at the dead horse a few moments, then went’ away, quite well pleased that she had not/paid for the animal before he gave an‘exhipition of how gentle he was. . —>———» Charges Not Confirmed.

Milburn, who was for many years one of the best known druggists in this city, died yesterday at his residence, 1122 13th street. He was in his sixty-fifth year, and for the larger part of bis long and busy career he was actively identified with the business interests of Washing- ton. His death will be felt as a personal loss by many outside of his immediate family. 5 Mr Milburn was born December 20, 1830, in Alexandria, where his father was known for many years as a successful potter. At the age of seventeen he first entered the drug business with Mr. Henry Cook, and later with Mr. Z. D. Gilman cf this city. In 1851 he engaged in business on his own accourt at the corner of King and Washington streets, Alexandria, and five years later his brother, J. Parker Mil- burn, opened a drug store under Willard’s Hotel, in which he was a partner. In 1860 Mr. Milburn disposed of his business in Alexandria and moved permanently to ‘this city and became actively engaged with his brother in the avenue pharmacy. During. the war the Milburn brothers moved to 15th street, and later on they leased the ground and erected the bui!d- ing No. 1420 Pennsylvania avenue, where he continued until 1887. During part of this time, in partnership with F. M. Cris- well, he ‘carried on_a drug store at the corner of 1ith end F streets. About 188+ he retired from active business, in which ke had been so successful, but he never lost a bit of his interest in pharmacy. He was one of the founders of the Na- tional College of Pharmacy in 1872, and was its president from 1877 to 187. For fifteen years he was the treasurer of the college, and to him was largely due its financial success. Mr. Milburn was in- terested in many of the enterprises which tended to promote the city’s growth and prosperity. He was a director of the Ar- lington Fire Insurance Company, and was also one of the incorporators of the Chil- dren’s Hospital. For thirty-seven years he was a member of the American Phar- nfaceutical Association, and was its ugent in this city. Mr. Milburn was a prominent Mason, being one of the oldest past masters of Washington Lodge, No. 22, of Alexandria. He was also a member of Potomac R. A. Chapter of this city. He was a man of Kindly disposition, and his charities were many and generous. ——.__ Story of an Inve From the Chicago Tribune. Wherever the trotter and pacer are raced and the struggle to send a herse in har- ness a mile in two minutes is on, the “‘bi- cycle sulky” is used. Three years ago the first ones were received with laughter, so odd did they look beside the old high- wheeled hickory, weighing twice as much. Few are aware that a Chicago newspaper man, William Welton by name, an admirer of the harness horse, and for many years a rider of the bicycle, failed to hear Dame Fortune when she tapped at his door with the patentable idea of the bicycle sulky in her hands. It came about in this way. He was at that time a reporter on a Detroit afternoon paper, which prints also a Sun- day morning edition. He had been on the paper only a week and was anxious to turn over some good “Sunday stuff.” It had oc- curred to him before this that a sulky rigged with bicycle wheels, rubber tires, and, above all, ball bearings, would run many pounds easier to the mile than the old-style sulky, und it would make several seconds’ difference in the struggle to have a horse trot in two minutes. So he wrote a “fake.” It was in the form of an interview with Dr. Gibson of Jackson, Mich., owner of Tremont, 2.28 1-4, sire of Junemont, 2.14, and others. In the story Gibson was cred- ited with having suggested the idea, The next fall the first bicycle sulky appeared in Buffalo, and was made sport of, but the horse beat one he apparently had no li- cenge to beat. Today not a driver goes into a race without one. The newspaper man, who never applied for a patent—in fact, never thought of it—who threw away his chance to prove the invention in later years by giving all the credit to a third person, is still in the “grind.” Millions have been made out of the rubber-tired ball-bearing wheel. A laxative, refreshing fruit a very agreeable to take for CONSTIPATION, hemorrholds, bile loss of appetite, ‘gastric and intestinal troubles and ~ headache arising from them. F.
