WASHINGTON, April IA The civil

ing for publication:
eve have information that in many of
the states the number applying to be ex-
amined are greatly in excess of what is
needed to secure competent persons for all
vacancies likely to occur for at least six
months. While there will probably be a
considerable number OF removals, the
vague expectation of sweeping changes for
the mere purpose of partisan patronage
does not seem likely to be realized. The
commission does not wish to be RESPONSE

must follow the examination Of a need
less number. The requests for examina-
ton are most excessive in Maryland, Vir-

Another Land peoiaion.

WASHINGTON, April Il .-Gen. Sparks,
the new commissioner of the general land
office, to-day sent letters to the register
and receiver of the land Office at Walla-
Walla, w. T., revoking the order made
march 20, allowing the Northern Pacific
railway to change its lines of final limit
between the towns of Wallula and Dayton
IN w. T., so as to include other lands
under its grant within this extended
limit. The commissioner says: at ap-
pears that this change was asked for in
the interest of certain alleged purchasers
from the railroad company of lands not
subject to selection or sale by the COM
pany under the order of the department
of Aug. l6, 1881, fixing the terminal
limit of said withdrawal.
Complaint was made by W. H. Reed
of WallaW ALA, that this order prejudiced
the interests of settlers upon l49, 700
acres of land in favor of the purchasers
of 2, 900 arces from the railroad company.

WASHINGTON, April l3.-The court
martial appointed to try ex-Surgeon Gen
eral Wales will ~reconvene at the navy de-
partment tomorrow, to which date the
trial was postponed at the request Of the
accused when the court first met a month
ago. The trial will be held, the naval
officials say, without regard to any deci-
sion the district court may make on the
pending habeas corpus application of the
ex-surgeon general, which looks to a trial
by jury instead of by court martial. The
refusal on his part to appear before the
latter. the officers say, will be considered
a contempt, and will be treated accord
ingly.

Liabil,ty Of a Marrled woman.

WASHINGTON, April ia decision
was rendered by the supreme court of
the United States to-day, in the case of
Francis Dodge. ct al. appellants, against
Thomas Knowles, which presents the
question Of the liability of a married
woman for certain debts contracted by
her husband, nominally as her Trustee.
The court holds neither the liability for
provisions supplied at II dwelling house
where the husband and wife and their
children are living together, nor a prom
isory note given by the husband describing
himself as a trustee for his wife, In pay
ment for such supplies, can be charged in
equity upon the wife's separate estate,
without clear proof that she contracted
the debt in her own behalf or that she in
tended to bind her separate estate for the
payment. The decree of the court be-
low is reversed and the case remanded
with direction to dismiss the bill.

A New Stock Growers Association

DURANGO, Col, April l3-On Satur-

N. M. met in convention in Durango and
organized the Rio Arriba stock growers
Association. These men were present the
day before at the meeting of the stockmen
Of Colorado, but as their interests are diff
ferent in some respects to the cattlemen
Of Colorado, many of them thought it
would be better to have a separate organ
lation. Their officers are: President, T.

secretary, f. w. Tiff; treasurer, A. F..

opposition to the Southwestern Colorado
Association. Many of the members are
members of both. The two association
will work in harmony, one in Colorado,
and the other in New Mexico, and it is
hoped in the near future that they will
unite in one strong combination.

had, the premier admitted, failed to an
swer the material parts of England's COM
munication sent on the day of the receipt
of the news of the battle.
Mr.. Ellis Ashmead Bartlett (conserva-
tive,) asked if the government had been
informed that the Russians had advanced
to the Murghab river.
Mr.. Gladstone replied that the govern
ment had not received any information of
the exact character of that mentioned by
Mr.. Bartlett; the government were aware,
however, that a I'M existed to the eff
feet that the Russians had made such an
advance. In response to other inquiries
Gladstone said he expected to soon re-
ceive further communications about Gen.
Komarof s action from De Giers, the Rus
sian foreign minister.

tive peers in the house of lords, this even
