GUN CLUB OF LONDON O a will be res: CAUSE OF m-rmmai Hurlingham Members Refuse to Permit Captain Money to Par- - ticipate in Contests. LONDON, June 25.—Considerable fil- feeling has been aroused by the refusal of the Hurlingham Gun Club of London to | allow the well-known American pigeon shot, Captain A. W. Money, to compete in the international pigeon shoot which commences to-morrow. Money was for- merly a member of the Hurlingham Club, but he allowed his membership to lapse. The alleged reason for the present refusal is that Money does not belong to any club of recognized position, but as Money has been a constant competitor in these con- tests it is generally thought that the point, even if true, might have been waived. Among the Americans competing will be Gates of New York, E. L. Smith of Saratoga. Robinson of San Francisco and R. Welch of New York. allica, - ks Cyclist McFarland Is Recovering.

Va.,, June 25.—The West Virginia flood situation has not many new developments, but it is authen- tically stated that the loss of life has been greatly overestimated, although the loss of propertly can hardly be estimated. The most conservative estimate obtainable places the loss of life at about fifty, a greater part of whom were colored miners and their families. A great many more are missing and are supposed to have been swept away. There are great piles of de- bris and it will take many d: to find all the bodie: The Norfolk Railway Company will lose at a con: tive estimate half a million dollars, not taking into consideration the delay to traffic, etc. Their double track is prac- tically washed away for a distance of six miles and at 1 50 men are at work day and night repairing the roadbed and removing drift. It will be four days be- fore any traffic can be moved, but the loss to the company will reach about $400,000. The property lost by private parties is very heavy and may reach the million- dollar mark. The wires are deluged with press matter and hundreds of messages are received hourly from anxious friends in all parts of the United States inquiring about relatives and friends. Until traffic is resumed and all communication opened it wiil be impossible to estimate with any degree of certainty either the loss of life or _of property. The people of the storm-swept section appear terrorized, and their excitement is 50 intense that they are really helpless as | far as work Is concerned. In this section | of severe thunder storms each flash of | lightning and peal of thunder is enough | to cause a panic. The dead, = st as found, are being hastily buried and many times the spot is not marked. .

ARMY SECRETS ARE WITHHELD French Officers Silent at the Trial of a Marquis. PARIS, June 2%.—The Senate, sitting as a high court, to-day heard the witnesses for the prosecution in tLc trial of the| Marguis de Lur Saluces, charged with | treason. Their evidence did not develop | anything new. General Zurlinden, tha former Military Governor of Paris, tes- tified that he believed that Deroulede’s attempt to mduce some of the troops to | march on the Elysee Palace on the day of President Faure's funeral was not pre- | arranged. The officers, he added, had no | idea of turning from their duty. France could rely on the army always doing its | duty. | The first witness for the defense, Gen- | eral Charreyon, testified that the Marquis | served under him and that he was an ex- cellent officer and an honorable man. The next witness, Major Cuignet, when | questioned in support of the defendant’s | contention that the army for several years | past had been deliberately disorganized, | him from replying and the president of | the court, M. Fallieres, upheld the plea, | whereupon counsel for the Marquis an- nounced he would not cail other witnesses, as he intended to question them on the | same subject. These decisions shortened the proceedings considerably, and the prosecutor, M. Benard, hegan his closing | speech, but had not finished when the | court was adjourned until to-morrow.

RICHMOND, Ind., June 2%.—In a letter written by Judge Taft of the Philippines Commission to William Dudley Foulke the situation in the Philippine Islands in re- gard to the civil service law is thus de- seribed: % I belleve. that the civil service law, which ‘was the fifth law we passed, is as stringent as any law which has been passed in the United States. It has never been suspended for a moment. It was of course impossible to make & clvil service law applicable the next morning after its passage, for the reason that it takes a considerable time to adopt the necessary rules and to prepare for the necessary examinations. We provide that, with the exception of sol- diers, every person who might be temporarlly | appointed to a civil service position in the islands between the time of the passage of the law and the certificate by the civil service board that it had eligible lists for the needs of all offices should be considered a temporary | appointee and should be required to pass a com- petitive examination successfully before being appointed. The establishment of provincial governments presented another question of civil service, and we met it by providing that after March, 1902, provincial officers except the Governor should be selected under the civil service law, by promotion and competitive examination. The commission is a unit in thinking that the civil service law is all important here. With- out it we should be overwhelmed with no script .persons seeking emplayment and po- | itical pressure would be brought to bear to have appointed in the islands all the persons who ‘had made failures in the United States. ‘We did not extend the act to the school teach- ers for the reason that school teaching is a profession, and as the selection of them through the superintendent is made by consulting the heads of colleges and universities it was im- possible for him to secure good evidence of the fitness of the person applying. but as soon as our first batch of teachers have been se- cured, under the great pressure for teachers in these lslands, we shall extend the civil service law to the teachers as well. 1 desire to add that in our civil service law d in carrying it out to the letter we have the | assistance, both sincere and active, of the | President and the Secretary of War. We have not been obliged to make a single appointment at the request of the Secretary or the Presi- dent. They have assisted us when we called on them for advice, but that is all, and they have had us understand that they were in sympathy with our purpose in making the law effective. As it is, we have not heard of any complaint of it from any source. As an earnest | of the sincerity with which the law was put into effect, I should like to call your attention to the fact that every man who was appointed Dbetween the first week of September, when the law was passed, and the 1st of March, when the machinery was all ready for operation, was re- quired to pass a competitive examination unless he had been a volunteer soldler, and that 700 applicants took the first examination, a very large proportion of whom were temporary ap- pointees. It was suggested and urged that we | ought not require such appointees to pass a | competitive examination, but we were firm. and as a result a great many worthless appointees abandoned the idea of taking the examination and went home, You ask me what the friends of civil service reform in the States can do, and all I can say | is that you will strengthen us, I think, by hav- | ing the fact generally understood that the law has never been suspended since it was passed, and that no attempt has been made to evade its provisfons.

Miles, commanding the army, after he had read extracts from a paper written by Jean de Bloch, Russian Councilor of State. In an article on lessons of the South African war. De Bloch stated that the war had proved that military service | as practiced to-day is absurd and declslve" | war is imvossible. “Wars will be fought out by decisive battles as formerly,” said General Miles, “though field operations will be more ex- tensive. In order to successfully prose- cute war in South Africa Great Britain | had to transport everything over water and her armies were compelled to oper- | ate in a sparsely populated country where | a regular force was pitted against irreg- | ular troops. The conditions were not the same as would have existed had two well trained armies opposed each other. The campaign in Porto Rico during the war with Spain demonstrated that decisive war is practicable instead of impossible. as De Bloch says. With respect to ma neuvers, they are necessary in order to properly train an army. The American | army has been benefited by maneuvers. I strongly approve the exercise.” INVASION OF TOADS - STOPS ALL TRAFFIC Dry Weather in a Kentucky Town the Cause of a Curious Plague. McPHERSON, Ky., June 25.—this city is suffering from a toad plague.

BUTTE, Mont., June 2.—All the pool- rooms in Butte closed down at the end of business to-day, Mayor Davy having or- dered their licenses revoked. The rooms have been paying the city $150 a month each. They claim that they were ordered to do so, and, further, there is no pro- hibition against their business in the anti- gambling law. The Mayor takes the ground that_there is no law permitting poolrooms. It is claimed the closing of the rooms was brought about by the gamblers who were not allowed to run thelr business and who agitated the doc- trine of “‘all or none.” Says Government Cannot Cancel.
