ReforIners Resolve.

NEWPORT. II. l.. Aug. 5.-The fourth
annual meeting of the National League
Civil Service association was opened this
morning in the Claiming Memorial church.
There was a good attendance OF the public
and large sprinkling of ladies. Among
the more prominent members present were
George W. Curtis. the president; William
Potts, secretary; Everett p. Wheeler; Col.
Silas W. Burt naval officer of New York;
George Graves, chief of the bureau of en-
craving and printing, and Carl Schurz Of
New York. At 1880 a. N. Mr.. Curtis was
introduced and delivered the annual ad-
dress. After the conclusion of Mr.. Curtis
address the members of the league ad-
jOurned to Claiming parlOrs, where
a business meeting was held.
George William Curtis was elected preSi-
dent amid applause. The treasurer's re-
port was read and showed that there was a
larger balance on hand than usual. Secre-
tary Potts made a report. which showed
the league was in a flOuriShing condition.
lie said there were at present sixty aSsocia-
tons which were doing excellent work.
Reports of associations were then presented.
The committee on resolutions reported the
following;
That under popular Republican govern
ment like ours the employment in those po-
sitions in the civil service. the duties of which
are administrative and not political. ought TO
be open on equal terms TO every citizen,
whose fitness shall have been asccrtained by
appropriate examination and practical tests,
and that the chief executive authority over
the civil service. like that over the military
and naval services, is an official trust to be
exercised, not for the advantage OF party,
but for the common welfare
Resolved, That by the general course of
his executive action in regard TO appointments
and removals, and notwithstanding certain
actions of the administration. which, meas
ured by the principles of reform, We disap-
prove, President Cleveland has proved, amid
immense perplexities and difficulties. his
fidelity TO the patriotic principles asserted in
his letter of the 25th of December, 1884. 10 the

firmness and courage in enforcing his con-
Victions.

Indemnity Lands.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-Acting Com
missioner Walker of the general land Office
has prepared a circular to all registers and
receivers, which has received the approval
of the secretary of the interior. restricting
the power Of land granted railroads i'm MAX
ing selections Of indemnity lands. Hereto
fore the roads have been permitted 10 go
into their indemnity limits and practically
select such land and in such quantities as
they pleased. without being required to
show the amount of land they had lost
through the operations of the general land
laws. From the original grant, lands so
selected were always the choicest portions of
the indemnity laws. and these were with
held from settlement for years. and in some
instances, although the roads could not
sell and give title, they are reported to
have sold to ignorant purchasers such
rights as the selection gave them. The cir
cular requires the road TO file list of the
lands they claim TO have lost, making oath
to their correctness before being permitted
TO make any selections for indemnity, and
land offices are instructed to carefully COM
pare lists with their records in every
case. Where indemnity selections have
heretofore been made without the specihca-
ton of losses, the local officers are in
structed to require the companies TO desig-
nate deficiencies for which such indemnity
is to be applied before further indemnity.
Selections are allowed where deficiencies
exist for which indemnity is allowed by
law. The indemnity selections are re-
quired TO be made hereafter from the va
cant mappropriated lands nearest to the
granted sections i'm which the loss occurred.
Land officers are required TO re-
ject all selections not made in conformity
with these instructions

and the band from the post, with muii1ed
drums, was playing, ''Sweet Spirit Hear
Nv PRAYER" The strains were not loud,
but subdued, and they blended with the
muttering thunder over the river on the
mountains where the storm had swept
down to the flagstaff top that shot up from
the trees. And all the while at intervals
of five seconds came the sound of gun.
The little station passed out of sight and
the strains from the band died away. The
funeral train had again quickened speed,
but il was overtaken by the storm, which
prevailed with much force for ten minutes.
Then the clouds broke, the rain ceased
and the sunlight was again on the noun
tains. Peekskill was passed at 3:43 p. M,
Sing Sing at 4:01, TaTytown at All, Dobb's
Ferry at 4:19, YOnllers at 4:29. where the
military was drawn up at the depot and
thousands were waiting. and off which
point Jay Gould's yacht. Atalanta, was
steaming down the river. They were
passed, and at Abs the black train swept
around the curve and left the Hudson be-
hind. Rain was falling on the Harlem and
at.HighBridge and though asplendid vantage
ground for observation there were few peo-
pie. The junction was rounded and the
funeral train had made its last curve. Down
through Harlem and the tunnel the heavy
train rumbled toward the city. Emerging
from the tunnel, the engine made 4 flying
switch and the train rolled on to its stop
ping point. Slowly it stopped. but at
length. as the Grand Central clock dial
marked O'clock it was still, and on time.
Gen. Grants last journey was ended and
from the start there had been no clang of
bell or sound of whistle.

AnInsuIt to the Papacy.

LONDON, Aug. 5.-Mr. William O'Brien,
Home-ruler member for MallOw, and editor
of the United Ireland, called the attention
of the house to the mission of Mr.. George
ErringtOn, Liberal member for County
Langford, at Rome. Mr.. O'Brien said he
had in his possession documents in Mr.. En-
rington's handwriting which showed
that he had been authorized
by the late Liberal government
to offer certain considerations to the vatican
for the appointment of prelate acceptable
to that government to be archbishop of
Dublin, as successor to the late Cardinal
McCabe. The promises it was evident,
Mr.. O'Brien said, were never meant to be
performed and the whole thing was mis-
cradle, unworthy intrigue. The Irish peo-
pie regarded the affair as an insult to the
papacy. Mr.. Errington, who was in
his seat during Mr.. O'Brien's statement, re-
piled that the document alluded to by the
member for MallOw was either forgery or
had been obtained by some gross breach of
honesty or honor, and that in either case it
was not his duty to answer it and thereby
further Mr.. O'Brien's purposes, and he
would prefer to leave the weapon which Mr..
O'Brien claimed to possess, such as it was,
in his hands
