WASHINGTON, March 30.-The President
has sent 3 long letter TO the Civil Service
Commission recommending the extension OF
the limits Of the classified servies. Hes ssys:
II desire TO make suggestion regarding
subdivision G, general rEie III. Of the
amended rules promulgated on February q.
1t provides for tine promotion OF an enl-
ploye in department who is below or out
side OF the classified service to place

partment upon the request OF the appoint
ing officer upon recommendation OF the
commission and approval of the President
alter noncompetitiye examination in case
such person has served continuously for
two years in the place from which it is pro-
posed to promote him. This provision
must be
EXECUTED WITH CAUTION
to avoid application OF it to cases not in
tended and undue relaxation OF the general
purposes of the civil service law. Nom
competitive examinations are exceptions
to the plan of the act and the rules per-
rnitting the same should be strictly con-
strued. Cases arising under the exception
above recited should precisely meet all the
requirements specified, and should be sup
ported by the facts which will develop
basis and reason of the application Of the
appointing officer, and which will commend
them to the judgment of the commission,
and the President. The sole purpose OF
the provision is to benefit the public serv-
ice, and it should never be permitted to
operate as an evasion of the main feature
oi the law which is competitive examina-
tions. AS these cases will first be presented
to the cor mission for their recommended
tion, / have to request that you will lformu-
late plan by which their
MERITS CAN BE TESTED.
This will naturally involve statement
OF all the facts deemed necessary for the
determination OF such applications. At
tention is also called to the necessity OF a
better and more uniform classification OF
employees in the different departments.
After referring to the several classifications
and grades of salary in Government de-
partments, the President says: II wish
tie commission would revise these classifi-
cations and submit to me plan which
will as far as possible, make them uniform
and remedy the present condition which
permits persons to enter a grade in the
service in one department without any ex-
animation which in another department
can only be entered after passing such ex-
animation" One of the Commissioners
said to-day that the views OF the Commits
sion are in full accord with those OF the
President.

RETURN TO POLITICS.

At the evening session the theme for dis
cussion was "The Political Condition and
Woman's Right to the Ballot" The first
address was by Isabella Beecher Hooker,
OF Connecticut, who asserted that the
words ''the people," everywhere used in
the Constitution, showed it was the inten-
tion OF the trainers to place woman on q
perfect equality with man. J. Ellen Fos-
ter said the denial of woman's right
to vote was defiance OF nineteenth century
civilization. The women 81 the United
States would never cease their agitation
uutil liberty of the heart, head and hand
is secured to every citizen of the Republic.
Mrs. Harriet H. Robinson said nothing
waste be expected from either OF the two
leading political parties, The Prohibition
party is very good about passing resolu-
tions, but as yet has no political power,
and majority Of the members usually
vote the Republican ticket. The only hope
seems to be the foundation OF new party
which shall advocate our own with other
leading reforms. The old parties are slowly
dying out.

dressing and the evils of round dancing.

AURORA, Ills, March 30.-One half OF
the Burlington paint shop building which
burned last night, has been fitted up as a
hotel for new engineers and firemen, over
a hundred of whom were in their beds when
the fire broke out. They had just time te
grasp their clothes and get out
before the building was mass OF
flames. The men burned out were
quartered in other buildings for the night.
Several of them were assaulted by un-
known parties as they rushed about the
yards, seeking shelter. Burlington officials
say the fire broke out in two or three
places simultaneously, and that the indiea-
tions point strongly to incendiarism.

one might as well hesitate as to the

phrase about watering thelife blood
of the nation contains an argument.
TO understand his meaning one wants
to go to Boston. Go into the Fan

probably Canada would have to look to it's
own resources in view of the action of the

Canadians he said, sare to be excluded
for no act of theirs. Well if they will not
allow us to trade with them, we can trade
with ourselves. We are not afraid or dis
mayed at any threatened a5Je mpt to hamper
our commerce. or cripple our resources.
The effect will be the same as was
shown after the abrogation of the re-
ciprocity treaty OF 1854. 1t showed that we
could rely upon our own resources While
we should like to continue to trade with our
nelghbors in the frees6 manner we can af-
ford to do without it, and can afford to wait
with calm self-respect the outcome of the
matter.

of commons, endorsed the premier's utter
ances, saying that Canadians could, with

that a change from an exterior to an
