Conundrurn for the Commission.

WASHINGTON, June 3.-The Post prints
the following: Joseph B. Fowler was dis
missed last Saturday from his position as
chief of the pension division of the third
auditors office, treasury department.. Yes
terday he was appointed as third-class clerk
in the same division, position within the
classification Of the civil service. This ap-
pointment raises another question for the
civil service commission. 1t is said to be
illegal ON the ground that Mr.. Fowler's dis
missal severed his connection with the gov
eminent as completely as if. instead of be-
ing chief, he had held higher Office On
this ground it is claimed he could not be reap
pointed without going through the civil SER
vice examinations and being legally certified.
Should the commission decide that the ap-
pointnent is legal one door will be
opened wide for filling the offices with as
many Democrats as any official could de-
sire. The head of bureau can now re-
move his chiefs of divisions and fill the pO-
sitions by appointment. Under the prece-
dent made in the case of Mr. Fowler, these
appointees can be reduced to clerks, the re-
moval of the latter creating the desired
vacancies, new chiefs of divisions can then
be appointed and the same program fol-
IOWCu ulltll dly uulllDcI VI Cl6IlCdl pOSlGlOllS
are filled. This would be even more legal
than to absolutely dismiss man and then
appoint him to a clerkship without saying
as much as ''by your leave' to the civil
service commission.
Commissioner Gregory informed Star
reporter to-day that there had been several
such cases, two or three in the treasury,
one in the postoffice and some in other de-
partments, probably, and the reduction had
been uniformly allowed, when the official
had held his office before the law
went into effect. In one case, he said,
a man who was chief exchanged places with
third-clasS clerk. But this, he said, does
not open up a way for avoiding the civil
service examination, as any man now ap-
pointed to be chief of the division will be
debarred from the classified service, except
through the regular course. The law is
very clear on the subject, and no attempt is
being made to avoid it.

thirty or forty Indians on,footsabout thirty
miles south of Medicine Hat evidently in
position for a night attack on railway men

who are still loyal, Jackson made friendly
signs. They responded by leveling rifles at
him. Jackson took cover withEhiS horse,
several volleys being fired at his, ambush,
jackson standing ground till ammunition,
was expended. He returned on the.
road to the camp and reported
to Maj. Stuart, who with every
scout Immediately left in pursuit, travelling,
all night They reached the point of at
tack on Jackson, where evidence was foupds
of his plucky defense. The trail of the In
dians was found at Pigeon creek. Stewart
is now in pursuit, but opportunity to the -bor-
der will probably take them out of
reach of attack. A large number
of Indians off the reserve moving north and
east necessitated Capt. Cotton moving out
Mcleod with twenty mounted men In the
direction of Stewards district for reinforce
ments if necessary. Several small bands
were seen in the vicinity Of
Head Cypress mountain, but are
moving in the direction of the boundary
district from Cypress hills to Lethbridge

The proprietors of all the gambling
houses and the SalO0n-keeperS in whose
places poker is played have been notified of
this order. The notification was a great
surprise to the proprietorS. None of them
had expected it, and all regarded it as
meaning business. Similar orders had been
given before, but gamblers are utterly un-
able to account. for it now. One suggested
that perhaps recent article relating to the
experience of a man who lost large sum
and who was twice arrested by the police
for kicking" had constrained the mayor
to the conclusion that it was time an effort
was made to stop gambling in Chicago.
Killed Through Mistake.
LAREDO, Tex, June 3.-The killing of
Sergt. Setter, Sergt. Reilly and Private
Ayten of the state rangers, a few days ago,
by MeXicanS. now seems to have been the
result of deplorable mistake on both sides.
For years the state rangers on the frontier
have been under the command of Capt.
Sheely, whose company was recently dis
banded by the governor, through the lack
of a sufficient appropriation. Lieut.. SEEKER
and his company were only recently ordered
to this section and were unacquainted with
the people. The MeXicans who did the
killing were Upelanis Gonzales and son,
the latter aged Is. Gonzales has been noted
as the best guide and Indian trailer in this
country, and owns a large ranch. He and
his son were met by the rangers, when the
rangers advanced and demanded their arms
Young Gonzales, not recognizing their
strange faces, opened fire, killing Lieut.
SEEKER and fatally wounding Sergt. Reilly.
Gonzales and son then fled. believing they
were being pursued by band Of robbers
On reaching the ranch of Pronerville
Herrera, the deputy sheriff of Webb county,
they claimed his protection, and the fearful
error was discovered for the first time
Gonzales insisted on being carried to
Laredo for trial and not to Eagle Pass,
where he is a stranger and would have been
killed.

Silver and Bankruptcy Laws.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, June 3.-Congressman
James of Brooklyn arrived to-day from At
lanta, where he went as a delegate to the
Commercial convention. Mr.. James is
greatly pleased over the result of the con-
vention, which, he says, will prove of in
calculable benefit to the business interests
of the country. He says that the
South is waking up to the necessity Of
action upon the silver and bankruptcy
questions, and that there is rapidly grow
ing belief i'll the South that bankruptcy
law should be enacted and the coinage Of
the standard silver dollars should be sus-
pended. ''What results do you expect from
the convention?" he was asked. 81
think" he replied, ''that the effect
will be seen in congress next
winter. and that the advocates of a
general bankruptcy law will receive large
reinforcements from the South. The fact
that more than half the votes in favor of
the resolution declaring that silver coinage
should be suspended came from Southern
members ssconvinces me that the South is
willing to aid in the settlement of the silver
problem and l believe that bill to suspend
the coinage of standard silver dollars will
receive from that section many votes which
have heretofore been against u.s."

BEES AND wAsPs.
What Naturalist Has to Say About These
Insects.


Insects
Grant Allen does not agree with the
common estimations of these insects.
In describing some ''Queer Flowers"
in the Popular Science Monthly, he
says:
Now, the fact is, we are all little
tired of that prig and Aristides among
insects, the little busy bee. We have
heard his virtues praised by poets, NOR
alists and men of science, till we are
all burning to ostracise him forthwith,
for the sake of never more hearing him
called industrious and intelligent He
and his self-righteous cousin, the ant,
are in fact pair of egregious Phari-
saical humbugs, who have made vir-
tue of their own excessive acquisitive-
ness, and have-induced Solomon, Vir-
gil, DR.. Watts, and other misguided
human beings to acquiesce far too read
lily in their preposterous claims, For
my own part, never was more pleased
in my life than when Sir John Lubbock
conclusively proved by experiment that
they were both extremely stupid and
uninventive insects, with scarcely o
faint glimmering of brotherly love or
anyother good ethical quality.
The wasp though undoubtedly an
irascible and ill-balanced creature, and
a chauyinist of the fercest description,
is yet a person of far more width of
mind and far wider range of experience
in his own way than the borne and
conventional bee. His taste, in fact
Qike the taste of that hypothetical per-
son, the general reader), is quite om-
nivorous: while he does not refuse
meat, he has an excellent Judgment in
the sunny side of peaches, and he can
make meal at pinch off the honey
in more than one kind of wasp-special-
lied Hover But the peculiar likes and
dislikes of Wasps have produced a curi-
Gus effect upon the shape and hue of
the blossoms which owe their traits to
these greedy and not very aesthetic in
sects. Your bee has a long proboscis
and a keen sense of color; so the
flowers that lay themselves out on his
behalf store their honey at the end of
long tube, and rejoice in brilliant blue
or crimson or purple petals. Your
wasp, on the other hand, in his matter
of-fact Philistine fashion, cares for none
of these things: he asks only plenty
of honey, and no foolish distractions
in the way of getting it. Accordingly,
wasp-aowers are remarkable for hav-
ing helmet-shaped tube, exactly fitted
to wasp's head, with abundant honey
filing the bottom of the bell, while in
color they are generally peculiar livid
reddish brown, more or less suggestive
of a butchers shop.

train starts he Just acts as though hewere

1t was a terrible night; wind blew a
hurricane and the rain came down
in torrents. Ingersoll was one of

Nobody could get anybody to talk to.
At last wiry little Scotchman,
who was travelling through America
sightseeing, learned who Ingersoll
was, and he tackled him then and
there. Ingersoil was just in the hui
NOR, and in less than ten minutes
everybody in the ear crowded around
him and listened to him for over
two hours, and the passengers seemed
so pleased and entertained that they
forgot all about the weather and the
accident.
but Oscar Wilde took. the cake.
Oscar Wilde was more bother than all
the womenwho ever rode on railroad
car. He had an idea that he was the
greatest man America had ever seen,
and he put on more airs than if he
had been the Car of Russia and the
Emperor of Germany rolled into one.
Would you believe it, he paid the
porter of the sleeping car to tell peo-
pie at the stations along the line,
wherever the train stopped. that Oscar
Wilde was in the car. He was the
vainest, most conceited mule | ever
saw. He wouldn't drink water out
of the glass at the cooler, but slipped
it out of a silver and gold mug he car
ried with him, and he'd sit with the
tips of his fingers pressed together, and
look up at the roof of the car as if he
was about to offer up prayer. y

A Man Who Found Pleasure of Which the
World at Large Knows Little.
l connection with the early history of
the enterprise of the elder Clarks
and thread making the interesting
fact is mentioned that Alexander Will
son, the father of American ornithol-
ogy, used to be employed by them in
the days when he was unknown and
unappreciated. It was then that Will
son INDUCED those vain dreams of his
of emulating Burns and did so much
aimless wandering on the banks of the
then unpolluted cart, seeking an in
spiration that never came to him in its
pure force, and brooding much upon
the wrongs of the people, Of whose
cause he was always the fearless
champion. Little wonder that his fell
low workmen regarded him as .'lazy
sort of a fellow" and left him to tho
fate proverbial to the prophet in his
own country. How much he despised
his human surroundings may be gath
cred from an extract from his
journal of this time, in which ho
rhapsodizes thus upon the beauties
of the Scottish scenery: ''These
are pleasures which the groveling
sons Of interest and the grubs of this
world know as little of as the misera-
BILE spirits doomed to everlasting dark
ness know of the glorious regions and
eternal delights of paradise. Here it
was that he gave forth his Groans
from the LOOM poem in which he
exalted the claims of labor and depre-
Gated the tyranny of the capitalist; here
it was that he published a satire, in tho
Scottish dialect, directed against n
Paisley manufacturer, and for that act
had to undergo short term of impris-
onment and burn the libel with his own
hand at the town cross of Paisley Not
long after this Wilson said goodbye"
to his native town, and began life afresh
in the New World, where he took up
the study of ornithology with an earn
estness and ability that brought him
fame, if not profit. He never returned
to Paisley, but his memory fingers as q
kindly radiance over one ancient corner
of the Seedhills factories, and in tho
town square his statue has been erect
ed, occupying there position of equal
prominence with that of Tannahill, the
poet, who was also native of Paisley.

Strong wills are becoming as rare as
