THE CIVIL SERVICE.
President Cleve1and's Message-His Opin
ion as to Its Utility.

WASHINGTON, July 23.-The President
sent to Congress to-day a message, trans
mitting his fourth annual report OF the
Civil Service Commission, covering period
between January 16, 1886, and July 1,
1887.
The first half OF the message is a stats
tical analysis of the Commissioners re-
port. The remainder OF the message EN-.
bodies President Cleveland's latest ideas
on the subject of civil service reform. This
portion OF the message in full reads as
follows:
THE CIVIL SERVICE PART OF THE MESSAGE.
"The path of civil service reform has
not at all times been pleasant nor easy
The scope and purpose Of the reform has
been much misapprehended, and this has
not only given rise to strong opposition,
but has led to its invocat ton by it's friends
to compass objects not in the least related
to it. Thus partizans of the patronage
system have condemned it, with those who
do not understand its meaning. Others
'mistrust it when disappointed, because, in
it's present stage, it is not applied to every
real Ut imaginary i'll; because those charged
with it's enforcement become faithless to
civil service reform. It's Importance has
frequently been underestimated, and the
support of good men has thus been lost by
their lack of interest in it's success.
Besides all these difficulties, those re-
sponsible for the administration OF the

IT.fLf.IsS,s PROTEST.
A Meeting of These People in Philadel-
phia and Vigorous Kick.

PHILADELPHIA, July 23.-About 2,00C
Italians assembled in Kelly Hall this at
ternoon to protest against the statements
that had been made that they we're pau.
per class, and that q recently appointed
Congressional committee proposes to inves'
tigate the matter.
After listening to addresses by Angelo
Astaritica and Nicholas Comforti, OF New
York, and others, the following resolutions
were presented, with the introduction in
Italian. and went TIN ough with a rush:
First, This meeting condemns the ac-
tion of Italian societies OF immigration
in humiliating Italy as a land of slaves
and padrones.
Second, That we, who obey the laws of
this glorious republic, pray and hope no
law of ostracism will be passed against our
immigration, as 1T Is contrary to
the liberty and civilization of this country.
The circular which called the meeting
together has a flavor of revolutionary Ian
guage about it and reads: "Italians-The
movement to show ourselves united for the
common honor OF Italians, has arrived.
The American press has undertaken war
against us, to influence the American Gov
ernment to take measures against US, free
people, Energetic action must be taken
without loss OF time. Italians, OF whatever
political opinion, the supreme moment has
arrived. United, with the name OF Italy in
our mouths, let US prepare for war. Those
who will not be in our line will be against
us, and against Italy. The time is short;
let all societies unite and do their duty"
An Italian cavalry company and military
companies of the Barsag Lieri and OF the
Genio, composed OF sweepers III the streets,
were to have marched TO the hall in full uni
form, but were not permitted to do SO, the
police refusing to permit armed assem-

Conybeare Admits He Was the Author o.

LONDON, July 2O.-In the House of Com
mons to-day Lord Randolph Churchill
asked the speaker for permission to ques
Jion Oonybeare as to whether he was the
author OF a letter appearing in the "Star,
denouncing the Speaker in supporting the
Tory motion for the closure of debate on
the second reading OF the Bann Braigne
bill. .s-..
CoDybeare admitted he was the author oi
the letter.
Churchill thereupon moved the suspen.
sion OF Conybeare from the house during the
remainder of the session.
Gladstone deprecated the ATTACK as
wholly out Of place in this discussion. The
letter was distinctle a breach Of privilege,
and he would therefore support Churchill's
motion.

motion the words "breach of privilege"
for the words "gross libel"

tain no redress for ISLANDERS uttered in or
written outside OF the House. The best
course they could adopt was to leave the
Englisa members OF Parliament to settle the
dispute between themselves. Sexton's re-
marks were greeted with laughter and
derislve cheers, during which he left the
House.
Smith held that Coneybeare's letter was
a direct libel upon the Speaker, that the
adoption of Lord Randolph Churchill's
motion was necessary in order to maintain
decorum in Parliament. The motion was
adopted by vote of 245 to 1873.
An amendment a fterward was adopted
suspending Coney beare for one month.
On Smiths proposing that Conybeare be
suspended for month, ali the Parnellites
and most of the Liberals left the House as a
protest against such action. Smiths pro-
posal was adopted without division.
In an interview Cohybeare said that ohm

do SO. He would place himself in the
hand OF bis constituents and, would resign if
they disapproved his conduct -- -

One Effect of the Emperors Visit to the
Czar-Absurd Rumors Abroad.
BERLIN, July ga German squadron
sailed far Stockholm to-day. The political
results of the Emperors visit to the Gar
remain absolutely unknown The 1mmed1'
ate effect has been to lessen the strain OF
relations between Berlin and St. Peters
burg at the foreign offices, but it is note
worthy that while NJ. Degiers and Count
Herbert Bismarck exchange conferences at
Peterhof, the North German Gazette,
and other inspired organs, renew their
attacks against the Russian spirit OF
aggression.
The foreign press gets absurd rumors
| that France is to be beoverpowered and dis
| armed, that the Gar joins the Central
| Alliance, that Congress will revise the Ber-
| lin treaty, that the EmperOrs have agreed
| to combine to uproOt anarchists, neither
German Socialists or Russian Nihilists, and
soforth. All alike are fictitious. Move
ments of troops from the interior toward
| the frontier and reinforcing OF the garrison
at Strausburg and Metz are regarded as
suggestive of scheme to surprise France.
| The real ODIecG OF CneSe movements lS "
prepare for extensive manouvers around
Metz during the Emperor's visit to Alsace
| Lorraine about the middle of August. The
manouvers will certainly be on d gigantic
scale, e3gaging 12O 900 troops, and will be
a significant demonstration for republi-
| canism to ponder over.
The Emperor's. projected meeting with
| Kidg Humbert is definitely fixed for Oc-
tOber.
The Pope has sent vigorous protest to
| Prince Bismarck, declaring that the EN-
peror's presence at Rome would be an act
of hostility toward the Vatican, especially
during the pending crisis with the Italian
| Government. The Vatican also is endeav.
oring to have Bavaria and Austria use
| their influence against he visit.
Queen Natalie, OF Servia, who arrived at
the Hague tonight, accused the German
minister at Belgrade OF urging King Milan
to contract marriage with one OF the
| SAKE Allenbourg princesses. Nothing will
ne done openly until divorce has been
| obtained, the attitude OF the clergy being
likely to prevent the granting of a divorce
Friends of Queen Natalie have renewed ne
gotiations for separation under the terms
| offered her at Wiesbaden.

WAEELING, July 20:-A personal visit to

affairs than It those points which were &C

He Wants the Miner to Republish Gen.
Harrison's Chinese Record.

GLENDALE, Mont, July 2O.-LTO the
Butte Miner. II entertain the highest re-
spect for your able and wide-awake paper,
and on the whole think that you mean to
be as rule fair in your statements per-
tanning to public questions and men. In
both these Questions and Men" [ am

light.
l wish therefore to ask you plain busl-
ness-like question, to VIII ch l want plain
square answer, an answer that must be
based wholly upon the records on file.
Don't, however, strain at a gnat and pub
lish a political camel. Don't twist, don't
squirm, don't shrink, but publish the
record, including the quotation marks,
book or books and pages. Not what you
think, but what General Harrison said.
Since BENZ. Harrison has been nominated
by the Republican party, your esteemed
paper has almost daily declared, IN so
MANY words, General Harrison wants,
and so voted in the Senate years ago for
the Chinese to come, one and all, into
America" and in addition that General
Harrison is opposed to any law OF re-
G: riction."
l lay no claim to any intimacy with Gen
erai Harrison | have lived, and my home
| is still, in the same city. We have known
each other for many years, simply as citi-
zens of the same city. l never asked any
| favor from General Harrison. | never ex-
pect to ask for any. know him to be
gentleman and Christian man OF the highest
| type. Now, my high opinion of General
Harrison makes me believe Il have not
| cad the record) that when the Chinese re-
striction bill came up that GeReral Harri-
son and every other honest Senator could
only vote one way, viz: against the bill,
for the simple reason that the then treaty
existing between the United States and
China could not be annulled, without dis
honoring the American nation, a so-called
Christian nation, and so practically admit
| that the agreement and word OF heathen
nation was better than that OF a civilized
nation. Now, is not this the truth in a
nut shell.
lam opposed to this matter OF besmirch-
ing our public men while they are living,
and when dead take it all back and call
them saints. You as a Democrat, and as
| a Republican, al d both as American citi-
zens, citizens of one common country, and
both loving that country, cannot afford
| to lie and throw filth on such an American
character as General Harrison, be he
Democrat or Republican. Ii we must lie
and throw mud because our party says so,
then why not pitch in and say, Its free
whisky they want"
Now, please publish the record, includ-
/ ing the quotation marks, book and page,
showing that General Harrison said and
i voted, LET the Chinese come, one and
ALL" You have said so already for him.
Now, what said Harrison.

The Inter State Commerce Commission

T. ice when railway makes rate IN favor
of oil shipments in tank-car lots as against
shipment in barrels OF carload lots. The

but total. No colored citizens voted at
said election
The report recites the story of the sup
pression of the colered vote, and finds that
the resolution of the cOlored men to abstain
from voting was due to terrorism inspired
by the actions OF the white league and OF
the committee appointed by it.
The testimony taken shows that Samuel

Revenue and two other persons engaged in
civil service OF the United States, were
active participants in the proceedings winch
resulted in the suppression OF the colored

to-day, for the murder of Charles Reed and
Captain Winn in the Cariboo Country in
December, 1886.
The scaffold was similar to the one used
by Sheriff Jones of Dillon, jerking him up
about two feet. His neck was broken. The
pulse beat eight minutes. He protested
his innocence to the last, claiming that he
killed Reed accidentally and then killed
Williams in self defense.
Williams was visiting the cabin OF Reed
and Winn when they asked Williams to see
his gun. In passing it back, Williams
claims it WAS accidentally discharged, kill
ing Reed instantly, the ball passing through
his head. Winn jumped up and endeavor-
ed to strike Williams with all axe, who
warded off the blow and then knocked
Winn down with the gun and finished him
with the axe. He then went to the cabin
OF the other miners and gave himself up.
Williams statement is inconsistent with
the situation as found by Sheriff Taylor
and DR.. Beaue, in several respects.
