National Associated Press to the Star.
NEW YORK, July 19.-The Times
says the reported decision Of the Pres
ident, in regard to the position Of Fed
eral ofice-holders, who are members OF
the National Committee, was not o de-
cision at all, as the matter was settled
at the Cabinet meeting yesterday, in a
sense entirely in harmony with the let
ter and spirit Of the Presidents recent
order. 1t is perhaps unfortunate for the
President that some OF the leading Of
ficials OF the Treasury Department nave
not sympathized with his policy Of Civil
Service reform, 80 as to interpret his
wishes on that subject in perfect con-
formity with the honesty OF his inten-
tiOnS.
The Tribune saws the Civil Service
order, requiring officers to abstain from
politics, was an awkward effort to
reach an excellent end.
The Herald says the decision Of the
Cabinet as to members OF the National
Committee, is just and pleasing.
The Posps Washington special says:
SIT is announced here that certain mem
bers of the Republican Committee hold.
ing Federal appointments, intend to
disobey the President and decline to re-
tire from either OF the Two positions. 1t
Is their purpose to carry the matter
to the Senate with the. expectation that
that branch Of the Government will not
consent to a suspension OF Federal Off
GERS who are members Of the National
Committee. There is considerable feel
ing over the matter here; but the gener-
al opinion is that the majority of the
Committeeman holding Federal Offices
will resign their connection with the
National Committee, i'll order that they
may continue TO draw salaries as Gov
eminent officers"

Heroic Engineers.

The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
engineers seem TO be an heroic set, and
given to deeds of daring and valor. Not
long ago one was riding on a locomo-
tive with brother of the foot-board, in
Indiana, when a little child was discov-
cred sitting at play in the middle of the
track. The Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy man rushed out onthe pilot. land,
throwing himself forward, seized the
child and threw it from the track, but he
received severe injuries.
A few days ago another throttle-pull-
er, w. T. Flint, while near Woodburn,
discovered woman near the road who
had been thrown from her horse in Il
slough, the horse having fallen on her
riding-habit skirts so rs to hold her fast
in the mire, and each struggle of the
horse only sank both deeper. Flint
quickly dropped from his engine, which
was running on card time, and went to
the rescue. When he reached the spot
the woman's face and one shoulder only
were above water He is a muscular
man, and, rolling the horse aside, pull
ed the woman out, leaving her ward
robe, except waist and chemise, in the
mud.-Iotcd Cor. 50. Louis Globe-Den,o-

What is Done with oliice-seekers'

Governor Young, OF Ohio, gives an
amusing account of the manner in which
epistolary applications by President
Hayes from ofiice-seekers are treated in
Washington. Mr.. HAYES ha, three see
retaries and four clerks. and these gen
tlemen attend to all his correspondence,
even that marked private and personal.
In front of these gentlemen are num-

on through each of the departments.
Every letter is opened ant carefully
read. If its writer wants a place for
himself or friend, rs a postmaster, the
document is indorsed :. Postal Depart
ment." and thrown into the basket of
that department. If for place in any
other department, it is correctly in
dorsed and thrown into its proper bas-
ket Occasionally letter i found the
contents of which show that it should
be seen by the Presidential eve. and this
is placed in a small basket labeled
d" President. When all the mail has
been opened and distributed, il is car
ried off to the various departments,
where it is again examined, and then
for future reference. OF
the immense mail sent the President
every day from oflice-seekers, hardly
one letter in fifty ever reaches the Presi-
Dental eye.

The City OF Erzerum.

The pashalic of Erzerum is the most
important in Asia Minor, including a
population of 5000 people, distribut-
ed in l.500 villages and towns. The
chief city is Erzeriim, which has pop
ulation estimated AT 10000. beside its
garrison. OF these 10000, 10000 are
Turks, 5000 orthodox Armenians. and
200 Catholic Armenians. In 1927 the
population was estimated nj $1,000. The
number of its inhabitants is constantly
changing, however, owing to the great
number of people who arrive and de-
part with the caravans. Pestilence has
often made serious inroads upon the
population, and emigration has taken
many people away. The city contains
IS khans, Is public baths. 20 mosques
and merjids and churches of the Ar
menian, Latin, and Greek Christians.
The new part of the town is partly sur
rounded by an old castellated wall, but
a large part of the place is not walled.
\ deep ditch was eXcayated round the
suburbs some years ago to keep of the
Russians. There are some curious an
cient buildings in and around the eta
del, and nearly so tombs in the forms
of circular towers. with conical stone
roofs. after an early Saracenic style of
architecture, dating. some of them. is
far back as the twelfth century. The
most elegant buildings ever erected in
the city are in ruins, being two colleges,
one of them remarkable for its minarets.
which were built of fine brick, tiuted
like Ionic columns, and enameled in
some parts with blue color. The win
tiers in Erzerum are very severe, owing
10 its elevation (6,000 feet) above the
sea. The plain above the. city, which
is 80 or 40 miles long, formerly contain
ed loo flourishing cities, but emigration
has depopulated many of them, which
now lie in waste. The chief trades are
dyeing and tanning morocco leather.
Great numbers of horses and cattle are
reared in the plain.
Regarded strategically, the town is
not iavorably located. Although at
high elevation, it is surrounded ON one
side by higher hill. which. in the
hands of an enemy, would render de-
Tense exceedingly difficult Some of
the SUBMITS of these hills are continual

force and direction of the wind are suit
able, trains are started aud run either
one way or both over distance of about
five miles. This an admirable device
for turning to account the famous, or
rather Infamous, wind of South France,
and those who have so often suffered
from ii may be supposed to feel pecu-
liar satisfaction in seeing it at last
pressed into the service of man. The
disadvantages of the new train system
are decidedly great, the chief of them
being the uncertainty of the supply Of
motive power Probably in this case
there will not be many actions for dam
ages on the score of Unforeseen delay.
But there are also certain clear adj
vanta@es. The wind, when it does come,
is an exceedingly cheap servant. requir-
ing heather fuel nor water nor the aid
of elaborate machinery. Its supply for
the time being is inexhaustible. and. if
necessary, a hundred trains loaded with
merchandise may be sent off one after
another.-L0RdOn GiObe.
