Appointments to the various municipal boards were announced late yesterday afternoon, but the Mayor did not append his signature to the commissions until early this morning. The names of the ap- pointees were given to the press by A. Ruef at his Jaw office.

The foregoing commissioners will file their bonds 'and take the oath of office | 'some time this forenoon, The new Mayor held back the announcement of the Civil Service Commissioner until 5 o'clock yes- terday afternoon, The selection of Michael Casey for th¢ Board of Public Works caused some surprise. Five of the ap- pointments” were foreshadowed in The Call ‘yesterday. * Alfred Bouvier, who was associated with A. Ruef in the Republican County Com- mittec and who is supposed to be in high favor with the new Mayor, did not receive a prize. The explanatton is made that Mr. Bouvier was not anxious to serve on any commission. | Theatrical Employes Are Aggrieved. The theatrical employes are aggrieved over the turning down of 8. Simmons of thd Tivoll. Simmons, who is a carpenter by trade, expected to,be appointed to the Board of Public Works. There is sure to be great wailing and grinding of the teeth in the camp of the allopathic physicians over the selection of Dr. Ward, a homeopathist, for the Board of Health. The selection of J. S, Parry for Fire Commissioner is a distinct victory for the Parry faction of the Union Labor party. H. W. Hutton, who succeeds former Judge Wallace on the Police Commission, is an Englishman by birth. MAYOR SCHMITZ’S APPOINTEES. Brief Sketches of the Men Selected for Political Preferment.

In Every State the Standard of Insurrection Is Being Raised. ] ‘ Speci:l Dispatch to The Call | - PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, Jan. 7.—A | short time ago President Castro cabled | to all his Consuls abroad that the coun- try was in the enjoyment of complete peace and that those who were boid | enough to affirm that Venczuela was in 2 state of bankruptcy and on the eve of {a revolution “lied in the face of 1 world.” But not many weeks had passed when events disproved his assertions. A revolution, which was a national ~move- raent, began'on the evening of December 19, near Valencla.
