A New Kind of Explosive.

PARIS, September 29.-General BouI-
anger desiring to receive from govern
ment an approp Iiation of $25, 900, 600 for
the new explosive bombs recently in
vited the budget committee to witness
an experiment he was carrying on in
private. The experiments were made
with monstermOrtar designed as type
for the destruction of forhfcations. The
missile thrown explodes with exceed
Ingly destructive effect. It is charged
with a new explosive, of which
composition General Boulanger and his
associates alone possess the secret. The
compound, however, is admitted to
have all the powers of gunpowder with
none of its defects, and is said in addi-
ton to lie easily transpOrtable and to be
free from liability to spontaneous igni-
ton. 1t is stated that the Budget COM
mite were not only highly pleased with
the result of the experiments
but promised to fully support General
BOulanger.

Civil Service.

WASHINGTON, September 29.-The civil
service commission has been busily en-
gagged for some time past in a revision
of the rules and regulations relating TO
civil service, and within short time il
is probable that a number or
important notifications of the ex-
i'tlLg rules will he scbmitt- q to tie
| President Tor his formal approval. The
commlsslon has changed the couStruc
ton heretofore placed on the law and
rules, relating to thu appointment OF
soldiers to classified service by the issue
of the following order: 1t is directed
that upon any requisition being made
by an appointing officer for eligibles to
fill any vacancy in classified civil ser
vice, the certifying officer shat
certify from an eligible register from
which eligibles are to be drawn the
names OF all persons who have CLAIM
to preference to appointment under
Section 1,754, United States Revised
Statutes, provided, however, that il
there are upon said register the names
of more than four persons VINO
have claim to preference. only
four of them shall be certified in the
order of their standing. If upon the
register in the State entitled to the az
pointment there are not preference
claiming ellgibles entitled to certifica
ten, or If there Is upon the register the
names OF preference claiming eligibles.
the certifying clerk shall COM
plete the making Of a certIfcation
by taking the names of preference
claiming eligib,es from registers OF
other S ates, taking care to select from
such state register in order that tue
right OF each State to appointment
under apportionment authorized to
be made by the commission. Ii
upon the register of no state en-
TITLED to appointment there is the
name OF a pref renee claiming eligible
and the name of such anehgible appears
upon the state. quota of which has
been filled, the name OF the preference
claiming eligible shall be certified
Mr.. Oberly said that it was
in contemplation to arrange q
definite schedule of dates and
places for holding examinations in the
various States. thus relieving the can
didateS of the doubt and frequent long
delays which have heretofore existed.
The commission, he added, had decided
that it was not wise or economical to
appoint examining boards from officers
now in the civil service to examine ana
grade applicants in each State and Ter
ritory as suggested by the National
Civil Service Reform League INSTEAD of
this the board would submit to the Pres
ident for his approval plan to reduce
the number of department examiners
IN this city from fourteen to six, and
assign them entirely to the duty of go
ing over examination papers OF apDli-
cants from all parts of the country, and
grading them, thus insuring uniform
rating.

A New Era in The south

NASHVILLE, September 29.-At the
meeting of the stockholders of the
Tennessee Coal Iron & Railroad Com
pany, held here to-day, the purchase
by this company of the Pratt Coal g
Iron Company, Alice Furnace Company
and Lem Iron Works, of Birmingham
Ala, was cOnsummated and confirmed.
This action has brought together under
one management, probably the largest
and most valuable coal and iron prop.
erty in the world. This combination is
the consummation of a scheme that
marks new era in the south, and
demonstrates the fact that pig iron will,
from this date, be made in Tennessee
and Alabama, at less than So per ton.

villages.

Intend ed as an Experiment.

WAsHINGToN, September 29.-Acting-
Secretary Fairchild authorized the
reopening of the mint at Carson City,
New, as an assay Office for the receipt
of deposits OF bullion. This action was
taken on the recommendation of the
Director of the Mint, and with the full
approval of the President. It is in
tended as an experiment, as it is said at
the departm Mt that it is doubtful
whether the deposits at the mint will
warrant even its conduction as an ASSAY
office. Its future operation as a coinage
mint will depend entirely upon the ex-
tent of its deposits.
