Mr. Baker's Opinion of Mr. McKinley's Civil Service Views. That part of the President's message re- ferring to civil service reform was the prin- cipal subject discussed at the meeting last evening of the National Republican Anti- Civil, Service League. Addresses were made by L. C. Shilling, S. S. Yoder and Vice President Henry M. Baker, the latter remarking that if the President believed all he said about civil service in his message, he had been badly fooled by some one. Mr. Baker also thought the President had not accurately stated the feeling in regard to the law, or the condition of it; that the President had stated for the truth what he did not know to be true; that the message had been sent to every part of the globe, and the statements in it taken for facts, when such was not the case. He asked the members of the association to do all in their power to counteract the influence thus brought to bear. eee Official Orders Insued. The following orders have been issued by the Commissioners: That an allotment of $400 from appropri- ation for Rock creek and B street sewer, for use in current quarter of the fiscal year, is hereby aprroved.
