TELEGRAPHIC TICKINGS.
The Civil Service Cranks.

New YORK. May 30.-At the annual
meeting of the National Civil Service
Reform League, to-day, George William
Curtis, who presided, was reelected
president for the coming year. The
meeting passed reso. utions to the effect
that the league congra:ulates the coun-
try on the profound interest awakened
in civil service reform. Encouragement
was felt for the progress and prospects
of the cause. In many instances, now
ever, it must be acknowledged tina, the
civil service reform law had been used
by appointees of the adminIstra ion WHO
were not in sympathy with it. The
changes in the unclassi6ed service IN
the past year have been SO great as to
forecast its practically complete par
tisan reconstruction by the close of the
administration. 1t regarded the fact
as loss Of great opportunity by the
President and a serious public misfor
tune. Neither the welfare of the SER
vice nor any public advantage whatever
had been shown to demand so general
a change, and could be attributed only
| to partisan pressure, for wholly partl-
san objects, which the President has
unfortunately not resisted. The dis
regard of the notorious and fragrant
defiance of the executive circular of July
IA. 1886, warning certain officers of the
government against pernicious activity
in politics, aud the Presidents letter OF
November 2. 1887, advocating the choice
of a particular candidate in the
municipal election, seriously dis
credited the cause of reform and
merited the public condemnation which
they had received. The severe judy
ment of the public in these matters was
hopeful sign of reform. The enlist
ment of Office holders for the benefit of
faction was a perversion of the pur-
poses of parties, and pernicious. The
Presidential term of four years was
prolific of intrigue.
Resolutions were adopted with
recommendation for the adoption of the
merit system in the appointment to
Office in penal, reformatory and educa-
tional institutions of the principal cities,
and that the league extend its work of
inquiry into the principles of candidates
for office.

WASHINGTON, March 25-A new period Of
alarm has broken out at the Department of
State the strides Russian petroleum is tax
Ing In the Russian markets, and the threat it is
making TO drive out the product of the United
States. Il is found that last year Russia pro-
aucsd over 600 0OO 600 gallons of refined oil. and
that there are no less than six tank-steamers
plying between Baku where the oil is procured,
and ports on1 the Caspian and other I'M

told me. last summer. that his oils would never
enter into competition with the American prod

would cause not the slightest hesitancy the
part of the oil producers of this country. Less

Russia is exported. But the Department. of
State has made extensive investigation of the
subject with a view to protecting American pc

nothing affords Mr. Blaine amusement

on his refusal to allow his to be presented

withdraw his name a candidate. His friends

determination in consequence of Mr. Cevelands
message and his own reply. That message was

Mr. Blaine's answer made him. in their ludg
