The Emporia Po,soninr.

EMPoRIA, Kan, Aug. 23-The autopsy
in the Walkup poisoning case developed ev-
idence of the use of corrosive poisOns. The
corOner's inquest was continued until 6:30.
when an adjournment was taken until Mon
day. Mrs. WaIkup was ordered taken into
custody. The evidence before the coro-
ner's jury elected nothing more than that
the deceaSed'S wife had purchased arsenic
and other poisons at two or three drug
stores and that she had taken exclusive
charge of the sick man during his illness up
to Friday, when the suspicion of friends
were aroused and a daughter of the de-
ceased was placed in her stead. A boy
named Wells, said to be a second cousin of
the prisoner, and who lately came here
from New Orleans, was also locked up.

The Private secretary Question.

Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-One of the
most serious questions, now being agitated,
is as to the right of the head of depart
ment or bureau 10 use his discretion as to
the number of private secretaries and con-
fidential employees required. Very many of
the new officials have assumed it as their
right to appoint a private secretary and
confidential clerk without reference to the
civil service law, and the
civil service commission, when appealed to,
have stated that such appointments do not
come under their supervision. The apprO-
priation bills provide for private Secre-
tarieS to a number of officials. The queS-
ton now raised is whether, in the face of
this fact, other officers have q right to
make such appointments when no such
provisions appear in the law. In at least
twenty or thirty instances appointments of
! this kind have been made, and the ap-
pOinteeS are drawing the salaries of second,
third or fOurth-claSs clerks. They
could not, of course, have been
appointed 10 such clerkShipS, and for these
clerkshipS only the law appears to provide,
but ii is claimed that the appointing power
can decide whether it is desirable to have
private secretary or confidential clerk
! among the number. A prominent civil
! service refOrmer is authority for the state
ment that every appointment of private
! secretary, confidential clerk or stenOgrapher,
whose provision for such is not specified in
| the appropriation bills, is direct violation
| of the civil service law, and if permitted,
he says, there is no reason why an official
could not peremptorily decide that every
officer in his department was entitled to a
private secretary, or that every room
! needed a stenOgrapher or going still
further, that no government clerk was
| eligible 10 perform a certain class of duties
unless he was stenOgrapher. In this way
great inrOads could be made upon the
| clsfSified and DrOtectad service

pose Of reaching the celebrated silver mines

Michael Grace Of New York are said
To be members. which. with a
capital stock of SIS, 600 600. will work the

LITTLE Rock. Ark, Aug. 23.-Intelli-
gence from Union county received to-day
gives the particulars of a killing near Edo
RADIO. the principals being two well-known
planters, G. b. TOole and J. II. Jones. 1t
appears that ToOle accused Jones of saying
something about a neighbOr. which the lat
ter denied himself, whereupon each, armed
with a shotgun, went to settle the dispute
in the presence of said Eeighbor. When the
three men had met. TOole repeated what he
had accused Jones of saying, and accom-
panied his words with the remark that
''every time Jones denied saying so he lied. :"
To this Jones replied that ''he (TOOle) was
another" TOOle then fired at Jones with
out hitting him. when Jones returned the
fire, killing TOOle in his tracks Jones was
arrested and acquitted ON preliminary ex-
animation on the ground of self-defense.

which this country is LEAD by Chilli. Their
treatment was cold, sarcastic and the Chill

antagonism to the interests of this country.

final report, which will be transmitted to
congress by the president, along with the
eleven special reports upon the different
countries which have been forwarded from
time to time to the secretary of state
These reports, being addressed 10 congress.
cannot be furnished for publication without
violating official courtesy, but they have
been briefly fOreshadowed by the dispatches
sent from time to time 90 the secretary of
state, informing him of the progress OF the
commission. The detailed reports are very
yOluminOus, and contain much valuable
matter. They contain not only the views
and the conclusions of the commission, but
also statements taken by the stenographer
from nearly all the prominent merchants
engaged in foreign trade in the nine eOun-
tries visited. giving the results of their OBJ
SeTvationS, and their opinions as to the best
methods Of promoting traffic between these
countries and the United States. 1t was
the practice of the commission at the cities
visited TO invite before them the

who were supposed 10 be friendly disposed
towards the United States and secure from
them all the information possible re eiating
! 10 the trade of their own country and with
the United States and its commercial

why this country had so small share of

Aug. 2S.-There has been
a great deal of curiosity manifested in
diplomatic circles here To know the real
reason why Secretary Bayard has remained
in Washington all summer. From reliable
sources it is learned that the relations Of
this country with Chilli are not of as
satisfactory nature as the peace society
might desire. The trouble dates back to
the time when Blaine, as secretary of state,
interferTed in the fight which was
going on between Chill and Peru
10 prevent the latter countTy's entire

nor forgiven this interference. Later
