TIE PRESIDENT COMING.

It is rumored that President Arthur con-
templates spending his summer vacation in
California, and that he will, if his plans
mature as now expected, arrive in the
month of August. It is to be hoped that
his present intention will not be abandoned.
California will give the President cordial
greeting, But one President has ever Wis.
tied the State. The hospitality extended
TO Mr.. Hayes will be even more marked
and generous in the case of President
Arthur, since he will not come in the midst
of national campaign. The time of his
coming will be most opportune, as at that
date the Knights Templar from the East
will be with us, and the whole people will
be enthused with the spirit that animate'
the cordial and willing host. 1t would be
very gratifying if the President could bs
induced to SO tune his visit as to spend &
day or two in this Capital City at the time Of
the holding of the annual exposition of the
State Agricultural Society, and the inau
guration of the new hall of industrial and
agricultural art, when he would enjoy the
opportunity of meeting thousands of tbs
representative citizens of the interior and
of viewing an exposition Of the resources
of the State.

Thc Fair Divorce Case.

VIRGINIA. May 12;h.-The divorce suit Of
Theresa Fair against James G. Fair came up
IN the District Court this morning. r. S.
Mesick appeared for the plaintiff Nj. n.
Stone, of this city, and Samuel NJ. Wilson, of
San Francisco, fer the defendant. Mr..
Stone submitted a general demurrer to the
complaint, on the ground that it did not
state facts sufficient TO constitute a cause for
action. The demurrer was submitted with
out argument, and was az once overruled By
the Court. Mr.. Stone then said the defense
would ile no answer TO the complaint. Mr..
Mesick asked that the Court appoint time
to-day to hear proofs also, that the examin.
alton be conducted privately. The Court
appointed II o'clock NJ for the purpose spsci-
fed. At II o'clock the Court met, but re-
porters were excluded. It is known, how.
ever, thst Inez leonard woman of the
town, who arrived here to-day under an as
sumed name, testified TO the Senator's inf.
deity to his wife, and that deposition Of
Jennie Smith, woman of like character in
San Francisco, was read. No testimony was
offered by the defense.
In little less than an hour the attorney
came out. and it was soon known that de-
cree of divorce had been granted as prayed
for, and that the plaintiff had been allowed

THE RULES.

The new civil service rules have been
published. They erect three branches of
the service-those to serve in the depart
men,s at Washington, those to serve under
Collectors, and those under Postmasters.
There are to be open competitive practical
examinations for admission to the service,
and examinations for promotion in the
service, to test fairly the relative capacity
and fitness of the applicants for the duties
to be discharged. Proficiency in the Or
binary English branches is required in all
cases, and 65 per cent. must be obtained
by all. In the offices demanding special
knowledge it is provided that the appli.
cants must be familiar in special branches.
Every applicant must establish his good
repute as to moral character, his health
and physical capacity. No question can
be asked involving political or religious
opinion or utilization. Those examined will
be graded, and certificates as to standing
in the grades issued. Under a registry
system, according to the grade standing,
the Commission certifes to any of.
fcer about to fill a vacancy the
three names standing highest in the
grade for such positions, regard being
had to the apportionment of appointments
to States and Territories. Sex is to be dis.
regarded, except the request of the officer
or the law calls. for an appointee of a given
sex. All original appointments are for the
probationary period of six months, at the
end OF which, If the appointee proves fit,
he is "to be absolutely appointed. " There
ale excepted from examination the conf
Dental clerks of heads of departments,
cashiers Of Collectors and Postmasters,
superintendents of money order divisions
In postoffices, custodians of money for
which another officer is under bond, from
and above the grade of assistant cashier /;
secret service employees, stenographers, in
terpreters, and those whose employment is
exclusively professional, as doctors and
lawyers. These regulations no reasonable
person can object TO. They will free a
vast host of Government employees from
the slavery of the rings" bosses and
machine men and political assessors. The
Inauguration of the work of the Commits
sion marks the entry of the nation upon an
important era in its history. The system
will be assaulted from the outside, but the
citizen who regards country above party
will lend his influence to the support of the
Civil Service Commission.

"Well, no my father wasn't Mormon
He died about nine years ago, back in Mis-.
souri, but my mother and my other parents
is mostly all Mormons."
The idea of those s'other parents was De.
culiarly amusing to the party.
During our journey about the city the ward
school buildings were pointed out TO us, and
some one asked if there was any High School
in the city, when the driver, with an express

amusement st our evident lack of ohserva-
tion, answered: Yes, few Of 'em ia pretty

We visited the Presbyterian church and

of that church. It ia one Of the few success

pupils. Then we visited the lions CO.
operative Mercantile Institution, where any
thing, from q toothpick TO a moving ma

and shoes, gentlemens furnishing goods, hard
ware. musical instruments-in fact, every
conceivable article made, may be obtained.
They have Wholesale and o retail depart
ment, and were very hospitable and pains
taking in showing forth the points of interest
in each department, the head of one Of them
devoting his time to us.
In the evening many of the party attended
the meeting OF the Presbyterian Synod of
Colorado, the members of which extended a
very cordial invitation 10 our California
clergy and their friends to join them, and
made their evening very pleasant. Several
others of the party made tour of the bust.

of the larger stores being similarly lighted.
In fact the place, by gas and electric light.
presented very busy, live appearance, and
our impressions of Great Salt Lake City were
decidedly pleasant. Yet I am quite sure that
everyone, young ladies Included. were ready
to resume their journey eastward, when

we received call from Francis Cope. Cen

should be an open port, as also Quinhon in
Cochin China. and Hanoi, the capital of
Tonquin, which is situate on Red river.
In 1875 or 1876 the treaty provisions were
to be made effective, and on France de-
volved the duty of opening to commerce the
great river of the country for the advantage
Of itself and of European nations. But
the river from point ten miles above its
mouth swarmed with pirates, fierce and
daring. These are, in the main, rebels,
driven out of China during the Taieping
rebellion, and their descendants. They
fairly captured Tonquin, robbed right and
left, and put the whole country under
tribute. They, with goodly portion of the
Tonquinese, are led by Governors of local
districts, who oppose foreign entry, and
have successfully prevented the treaty
provisions being carried out. The King of
AMMAN feared to aid the French, and was
but half-hearted at the best, in carrying out
the terms of the Convention. He has
for years been profuse with excuses for the
acts of the people of the interior. Finally,
in 1882, French patience broke down, and
the King was given sharp notice to comply
with the treaty, or France would by force
of arms enforce it and clear the river of
the obstructionists. The King did nothing
for France, but, it is shrewdly suspected,
secretly permitted notice to be given to
China of what was impending. This was
for no love of the Empire, for indeed the
Emperor of China claims the King of An
nam as a vassal, who must pay tribute to
him. Whether the notice was given with
the consent of the King or not, it is car
tain that China interposed a protest to the
occupancy of the province by any armed
force OF exploration. There were CONNER
cial reasons for this also, for the reports
are that the country just over the Chinese
border ia vastly richer in mineral wealth
than on the Tonquin side, and China is in
disposed to have foreign miners enter and
explore. Following the protest, however.
came formal application from the King of
AMMAN to the Chinese Government for
consent and aid in opening the river. To
this China agreed. and the reason ia obvious,
for with Chinese and Annamese force
to open the stream, France would have no
excuse for sending an armed force upon its
waters, and which, of course, would mean
French seizure and domination of the
whole country. France, however, ia not
to be lured into surrender of her
prize, and has accordingly sent out force
of l, 500 men to command respect for the
treaty terms. 1t has been met by an army
of 1000 Chinese and Annamese at the
capital of Tonquin, and, according to ad-
vices through French sources, the invaders
were victors. China has sent on 1000
more of her best troops, and France has
voted the credit necessary to carry on the
war vigorously. 1t is believed that Ger.
many watches the proceeding with ILL.,
concealed uneasiness, and that she may
take part in the struggle. If the French
succeed they will of course seize the entire
province, and to this Germany will IN.
questionably interpose her protest.

by favor of our queer Court, has quite re.
Gently added another woman TO his already
polygamous household. 10 fact, the polyg.

1t is announced here that the Union Pa.

extend its Salt Lake and Western formerly

The worst duststorm of the year covered
this city to-day in sea of flying earth, while
much minor damage was done by the strong
gale.

discharges AL Packer. the murderous Gambia
who killed seven Utah men, his companions

that the crime occurred prior to the estab
