many annoying controversies as To what
positions are exempt from civil service
restrictions. The classification embraces
positions of n certain character in one de-
%partment, while in others they are at tho
disposal of the appointing power without
reference to civil service relies and regu-
fations. The new classification will in
clude all positions excepting watchmen
and laborers, and will designate them by
name, so that no doubt may hereafter
exist as to the stntus of n place in the
government service. Some few positions
will be exempt from examinations under
the general rule, such as chiefs of divis-
Ions and the corps of detail clerks, and
Others by special rule, including scient-
lists and specialists generally. There
will be certain places designated as being
exempt from competitive examination,
but the person filing them will be re-
CURED to pass anon-competitive examin-
alton before appointment. The new
classification will effect not only the de-
partments here, but the custom houses
and postoffices throughout the country as
well. 1t will, moreover, take the bu-
reau of engraving and printing, which
has long been the hunting ground of the
spokesman. The president is considering
the a~dvisability of including the railway
mail service within the new classifications.
The messengers in this service are now
appointed upon the recommendation OF
the congressman in whose district their
run is to be made.

GAG LAW in THE HOUSE.

1T May BE Adopted by the Democrats to
Advance the Tariff Bill.
WASHINGTON, June 12.--About seventy
five Democratic members of the house
met in caucus at the Capitol to consider
means and methods to shorten the tariff
debate. A number of propositions look
ing to restriction in debate on amend
ments under the five-minute rule, by the
application of the s'gag law adopted by
the Republicans during Mr.. Keifer's
speakership, and by refusing 'texten-
sion of time' to members dis
cussing amendments, were advanced
and discussed in caucus, but no definite
action was taken. Mr.. Mills announced
early in the session that congressman
Mckinley, on behalf of the Republicans
of the house, had requested q suspension
of consideration of the tariff bill during
the time of the meeting of the Repub-
ican national convention at Chicago, and
during the interim that appropriation
bills be taken up and advanced. This
proposition met with favor in caucus,
but final disposition of the matter
was left with the Democratic
members of the ways and means
committee. Mr.. Scott OF Pennsylvania
is understood to have favored the appli-
cation of the "gag law" with q view to
Fastening action on the tariff bill, and
while a majority of the caucus seemed
to favor this as a final means of shorten
ing debate, it was thought best to let de-
bate run on as it has for a while.

How a steamer Got Ice.

The United States fish commission
steamer Albatross, Lieut.. Commander z.
l.. Tanner commanding, recently arrived
In port. having spent nearly q month In
the Straits Of Magellan, where large col
lections were made In all branches OF
natural history. Fishes of excellent quail.
ity for eating were there seined in great
quantities. Vessels passing through the
straits, If supplied with seines, could thus
obtain an ~abuhds7ea OF fresh food.
Camps of Fuegians were visited and con-
siderable chronological material was OBJ
tanned from them for the National museum
ct Washington.
In Eyre sound icebergs are usually to be
found floating, as many glaciers flow into
the water there. The A1batross ran into
this sound and made fast to a berg for the
purpose of getting a supply of ice for her
refrigerator. Huge blocks were then cut
of and hoisted In until six tons hal thus
been taken aboard The ice was clear and
compact and lasted until the arrival of the
ship here.-Panama Star and Herald.

An Execution In Spain.

Spanish executions are run in a some
what peculiar way. Not long ago a young
woman, her lover and an a%ccomplice were
garroted in Madrid, the first executions
there within five years. Twenty-four
hours before the time fixed for their death
they were first told when they would
cease to live. Then they were taken to
the prison chapel and kept there until
they were marched TO the scaffold. One
of the condemned was SO violent in his
terror that it took six warders to dress
him and get him out of his cell. In the
chapel they received hundreds of visitors,
received ell the food and drink they
wanted, and spent part of their time,
when the wine had nerved them up, and
between prayers, in playing cards. The
scaffold upon which they were throttled
was erected in the prison yard, but higher
han the walls, so that the 10000 people
gathered in the street might enjoy the
spectacle. Finally the dead bodies were
kept exposed to the public gaze until sun
