The Civil Service Reform League.

Providence, Rhode Island, August 1.
AT a meeting Of the Civil Service Reform
League Of America, held here to-day, George
William Curtis delivered the annual address,
in the course Of which he warmly commended
President Arthur's appointments OF the mcn-
bers Of the Civil Service Commission. Had
the President desired, he might have defeated
the purpose Of the PendletOn bill by appoint
Ing an unfricndly commission. This action
evidenced the Presidents desire to give the re-
form system fair play, and was all the more
significant because Of the Presidents previous
course and his faith In the necessity to the
party Of the spoils system.
At the business meeting, after the oratjon
Mr.. Curtis was unanimously elected President
Mr.. Hitchcock, Of 81. Louis, presented his res
ignation. u was the opinion Of the League
that II was Indispensable to the complete re-
form Of the civil service that Congress should
repeal the act Of May ID, 1890, and the acts
supplementary thereto, now embodied in Sec

CAREY MURDERED.
James Carey, the Informer, Shot Dead
on the Steamer MelrOse.
On His Way with His Family to Seek Refuge
In Africa,

In Africa.
LONDON, July 3O.-Intelligence is Just
received here. that sames Carey, the informer
in the Phenix Park murder cases, was shot dead
yesterday on the steamship Montrose while she
was between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth.
The deed was committed by fellow passenger
named O'bonnell. O'Donnell took passage
here by the steamship Kinfauns Castle, which
left Dartmouth on the 9Th for Cape Town,
where she transferred her passengers who were
destined to Port Elizabeth, Natal, and other
coast ports, to the steamship Melrose. The re-
port Of the shooting Of Carey caused intense
excitement In the West End.
A large crowd gathered tonight IN front OF
James Carey's late residence, cheering loudly
because the informcr had been killed.
The authorities believe that O'Donnell Is
man who was implicated three years ago in an
attempt to blow up Mansion House, London,
and who escaped with Coleman to New York
The Government selected Africa as the safest
place for Carey.
It appears that o. 'Donnell dogged Carey from
London. Both sailed on the steamer Klufauns
Castle. The Duly Telegraph says the Govern
mcnt has little doubt that Carey was followed
from Dublin. 1t Is believed that the Fenians
had taken most elaborate measures TO prevent
his escape.
Carey was travelling under the name Of Pow
er. His family was with him. Carey embarked
at Dartmouth from Madeira. He wrote letter
to the authorities, IN which he described the
voyage, and said he had shared In conversations
In which 1nvincibles and the miscrcant, Carey,
were especially denounced. He said he intend
ed to forget Ireland ever existed.
Carey died shortly after he was shot, and
O'Donnell surrendered himself quietly. He
was placed In irons and handed over to the po-
lice when the Melrose arrived at Port Eliza
beth.
DUBLIN, July 30.-The news of James Carey's
death caused many exhibitions Of delight on
the streets here.

Indians as Beef Producers.

ST. LOUIS, July 23.-Advices from the
Indian Territory say the result of the
recent leasing by the Arapahoes and
Cheyennes of the western portion of
their reservation for grazing purposes is
likely to revolutionize the entire Indian
question. The rental is nearly S63, 900
per annum, payable semi-annually in
cash and cattle. The first payment was
made few days ago at the agency, ev-
cry man, woman and child receiving
five silver dollars. In connection with
this lease the Indians have started in the
cattle business themselves, having this
week taken the initial step. They have
some 800 head of cows and heifers with
25 blooded bulls on the range north of
the Cheyenne agency. The United
States government will aid the Indians
in this enterprise, the Interior depart
ment having consented to invest as
much in the cattle as the Indians them
selves, and turn them into the common
herd for this purpose.
Congress will be asked to appropriate
fifty or one hundred thousand dollars.
With the number now in their posses
sion and with the number to be con-
tributed by the government and the les
sees of the grazing lands, the Indians
calculate that at the end of ten years,
when the grass lease expires, their herd
will be worth three million dollars.
This will be practical solution Of the
Indian question. So far as the Arapa-
hoes and Cheyennes are concerned, it
will make the tribes self supporting.
The enterprise Is warmly endorsed by
Secretary Teller. Commissioner of In
dian Affairs Price, United States Agent
Hunt and others.

The Silver Dollars Accumulating.

WASHINGTON, August 1.-The Star
says: "The accumulation OF silver dollars has
become so great now that it is quite serious
question how to dispose Of them. All the
storage capacity Of the vaults and sub-tress-
uries throughout the country are already over
taxed, and additional vaults built recently are
also filled. The last Congress appropriated
500, for the purpose OF defraying the cost
Of providing additional storage room. No
places have yet been selected where new
vaults can be built, and the entire matter is In
abeyance until the Superintendent OF Archi-
tects can report upon the most available
places.

The Dunderhead Abroad.

The average common place English and
American travellers in Italy, says Roman
correspondent of the New York World, spend
their days under the governance of English
speaking guides and their nights under the
roofs of English hotels, viewing the country,
quite from the outside, trading ut English
shops, frequenting English society, aud dis
daining us altogether un-English the maxim
that while in Rome one should do as the RO-
mans do, Such travellers will pretty genor-
ally be found to entertain decided and by
no means fattering estimate of the Italian
people, According TO them, the Italians are
q low, tricky, indolcnt, hypooritiCal set Of
mOrtals, terrible examples of the evils Of pa
pacy and of a climate whichis practically
summer throughout the year. They regard
tho natives of the soil, in other words rs
poor, misguided foreigners. Walt Whitman
somewhere says something to the effect that
he does not blame the tortoise because it Is
not a flower. But many English and Ameri-
can tourists cannot rise 10 this broad cOncep-
ton. Under the orange trees of Italy TO tho
music of mandOlins and guitars Uncle Samuel
and Mr. Bull meet only TO bemOan the abb
surdity of these Italians In not Immediately
repudiatlng their Latin origin and becoming
Anglo-SaxOn. But those more generous and
less conventional persons who come to Italy
for the purpose of seeing what Italy
is really like, who dwell in italian houses
and eat at Italian boards, who choose Italians
for their acquaintances and do not consider II
beneath them to learn something Of the Ital'
