h RULES AND REGULATIONS.
WASHINGTON, May "A special
meeting of the cabinet was held to.
day to consider the civil service regu-
lations now awaiting the presidents
sction. All members were present
except the attorney general. This SEES
sion lasted two and q half hours and
the regulations as presented by the
civil service commission were agreed
to without substantial change, al,
though 1t was deemed advisable to
change the mode Of expression of Ger.
tain rules. There was one question
which the cabinet found 1t difficult to
decide. The custom which Is now
observed In making appointments In
several executive departments and
which In the treasury has the
force of law, Is to distribute them
among the states and territories
upon the basis of population.
1t Is q question whether strict ad-
herence to this rule would not In
many cases hamper the sdministra-
ton of civil service, and the majority
of the members Of the cabinet are In,
cline to the view that appointment
under the new civil service rulel
should be made strictly upon merit q
determined by competitive eIamins
lions regardless Of the residence o
the successful candidates. Decision
however, has not yet been reached b,
the cabinet upon this point.

New YORK, May 2-The editor Of

of the associated press to-day and left
the following card: 'Sargent's letter
was translated from the consular re-
ports to the state department by M.
Meyers. Mr.. Meyer stated tho trans
lation was made with the utmost care
and was abs olutely % accurate as
could be. Meyer says he has informa.
tion that tho hosiery manufacturers of
Germany are moving to secure the
abolition of the prohibitory legislation
against pork. They are alarmed lest
action be taken by the next United
States congress imposing q duty on
hosiery, which will exclude it from the
United States. This would be o disas-
ter to the industry of Germany, where,
1t the measure passed congress, thous-
ands of operatives of Germany, with
out other means of gaining a llvelt-
hood, would be thrown out of work
and millions Of dollars worth of capital

AN HUMBLE APOLOGY.
LONDON, May 1.-The Times pub.
fishes a special from Berlin which I'M
dertakes to explain the misunder-
standing, or misrepres entation on the
part Of the North German Gszstte In
respect to the republication In q New
York paper OF Minister Sargent's re-
port to Secretary Frelinghuysen upon
the pork question. The point of the
special correspondents explanation IL,
that what was published day before
yesterday by the North German Ga
Eette was In reality the report of Sar.
gent to The state department. It wa
printed In order to show that the
North German Gszstte's late personal
attack, which Sargent would have
been justly entitled to con-
slider q gross infringement of .
newspaper upon his privileges as
slforeign ambassador was based upon
the Incorrect translation by the New
York Handel's Zeitung, of Sargent's
report. The North German Gazette,
In reproducing the report, prefaces it
by a paragraph, which The Times cor
respondent characterizss as a querk
and transparent attempt upon the
part of the management to excuse
their unwarrantable attack. This Is
the only excuse vouchsafed by the
Berlin papers, and it Is the general
opinion here that, while the apology
Is humble enough, II may be regarded
nevertheless as entirely inadequate,
since 1t convic.s The North German
Gazette of gross misrepresentation Of
the truth.
