Commissioner Utter L Provisions Among U an WasiiNGsoy, Aug. 15.—In the latter part of Maren information was received at the of- fico of the civil servico commission that tho provisions of the civil service law relating to political assessments wers being violated by persons in tho oficial service of the United States in tho city of Baltimoro and that halt of the United States offices in that city were also | being unlawfully used to control & primary clection, Au investigation wus immediately began and continued through a part of the month of April, conducted by Commissiouer Roosevelt, and a copy of his roport has been submitted to the president with the approval of the commission, The following statements are taken from Commissioner Roosevelt report, as sho ving the result of his invostigntion : The primaries held on March marked bya very bitter contest bitween two factions of tha republican party. In its substance it was without doubt a fight bu- tween the office holders on ono side and the disappointed office scekers on the other. Apparently, thoy cared primarily for the oftices, party success bemg purely w second- consideration, important oaly because it facilitated their securing them. It scems to mo that this fact alone furnishes an ablo and accurato measure of the much vaunted usefulness to any party of tho office mong- ering, office sceling and ofice holding variety of ward worker, As while the contest was marked by groat fraud and_no ttle violence, the present ordinary office seeking ward workers having alargo’ percentase of office holders, leaves room to believe that it is part of the natu order of things that their holders, seckin hold_the oftices, should exercish the trolling influenco in political contests. ward worker who is in politics for oflico is a curso to the community and the sooner this is recoguized the better. His political victory is unhealthy and wischievous. Take 1t out of the power of any politician to give him any oftice and he will ceaso from his uefarious labors in a very short time. As for the vovernment oftice holder, ho must bo taught in one_way or another his auty is to do the work of the governmont for the whole people, and_ not to pervert his oftico for the use of any party or fuction, “In regied to the postofice and the ms shal's oflice, the evidence seems to be per cetly clear that both of these offices were used for the purpose of nterfering with and controling the result of the primary eloc- tion, and that there was a systomatic, though sometimes indirect, effort mado to assess the government employes for political purposes. Mavshal Airey was undoubtedly one of the leaders of ono of the factions av the primaries and took an active part therein, even to the extent of coming to physical collision with ona of the opposing judges whom he accused, whether rightly or wrongly, of cheating.” The commissioner then asks the dismissal of twenty-five men in the marshal’'s office and other departments. “Iv is evidont,” ho said, “that from tho testimony tho mon- classified sorvice w tho postofiice of Balti- more us is the cnse with most all non-classi- fled officers, overy patronage was treated as chest from which to roward in- fluential ward workers who were usoful or likely to bo useful to the faction in power. The appointments were primarily with @ view of the well being of the public service. Therefore, while it does uot appear that Mr. olinson himself used the ofiice to 1fluence the primary olection, it is ovident that it soused with his fuil knowledge, and the took no effective steps whatever to prevent such use therefore, 1 am strongly of the opinion that at least de- cided stops should b taken to show that the rule aguinst it is not heroafter to be rogarded as u doad lot- tor.

All the mechanics receutly arrived have found employment in the city and are now earning good wages. Some are’in printing ofiices and others at their various trades and have already made comfortablo homes for thom- selves, The committeemen are willing to keep in the eity all mechanies and profes- sional men, but for the others have to be found setticments in the northwest, The government has been applied to for land in’ Manitoba on which to settle 150 families, but the answer received from Ot tawa was not altogether satisfactory and negotiations uro still going on. The new ar- rival of co-veligionists will subscribe funds sufticient to keop tho settlers u year or so in their homes. T'be latest arrivals by the steamship Tovonto were a intelligont and healthy lot of people. Most of the male portion know trades and will be kept in Mon- treal, but the others will receive tickots for the states or wherever they have friends.

Ciicaco, Aug. 16.—One of the events of the Des Plaines camp meeting last week was the conversion of a so-called Catbolic priest. A great deal of noiso was made over the affmir, aud the “converted’ men were grected with open arms. A gentleman in the ity hav- ing had some experienco in the conversion of Catholic priests was inclined to doubt thut the man was in good standing, and acting upon this thought communicated with Archbishop Ireland, from whose archdiocese Kenny said he came. Tue facts were explained to the archibishop, and he was told thut Rev. Kenuy ombraced Methodism owing to his lack of belief in Catholicism, and_espocially in the doetrine of tranubstantiation. Tie arch- bishop listened attentively, and a smile illumined his face—hulf ¢gnical ana half sarcastic, Then he said: “Well, well; another conversation, en? and a priest at that. 1 am_sorry for those who have converted him. Rev. J. Kenny was nover a clergyman of the diocese of St. Paul A man, however, of this name was reccived temporarily a year agointo the diocese of Winona, ~His record before coming to Winono was not unknown. He had been sev- eral times and {n_different places, notabl in Illinois and northern Michigan, sus pended from the ministry for drunkenness. He had originally belonged to the diocese of Rochester, N. Y., where ‘also he had some trouble, presumably on the same ground. He had for somo time befors coming to Min- nesota sobered up, and on showing ently extraovdinary sigus 6f repentan was” admitted on” trial by Bishop Cotter. After a few months, however, ho fell back into his old s, aud = was uncere- moniously and ingloriouslv driven out of the diocese. 'These facts explain his cou- version to Methodism. Transubstantiation, I am sure, is giving him little trouble. Whisky is his bete noive. For my part I re- sign him cheerfully to Elder Trusdell, cau- tioning the latter to keep cavefully from him the intoxicating cup. Talking of ‘conyerted priests,’ T some- times wonder that thoso who covet the al- liance of such men do not, were it only for once in an age, make ay effort to convert over to their sects some priests in good standing iu the Catholic church.” ——— WEATHER FORECAST.

He then preachoed a long sormon on the duty of sover their people, the whole servico lasting from 1l p. m to2a m The crew was then piped below. At 5 a. m. the kaiser appeared on the bridge in the uniform of a high admiral looking extremely haggard and addressing the commander, said : “Sir, retire to your cabin; I shall chargo,” The commander repl “Sire, permit me to obsery 3 that wearein a dangerous pas- sage, and that it 13 advisable for your ma- jesty’s safety as well as for that of the crew that a sailor remain 1 command.” The emperor responded: “Neve God will inspire me.” The comman ler bowed and retired.

Thisis the vengeance of God upon you,” dealing the officer a heavy blow upon the checl, “The ofticer turned crimson, but remained until the emperor seized him by the throat and tried to throw him overboard. In tho struggle that followed the emperor fell and brok his knee cap.
