The sportive Waves Tear Them up 70
q Mile.

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-At Seabright, N.
j., the track of the old New Jersey South
ern railway is in a bad state. Fully a
mile of it has been completely torn up

CIVIL SERVICE RULES.
A Probability That They Will Be Ex-
tended to the Printing Office.

tended to the Printing Office.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-It is probable
that before March all the government
clerks in Washington will be within the
civil service rules. The only government
employees in Washington now outside the
civil service rules Since the bureau OF
engraving and printing has been taken ip)
are those in the government printing Office.
There are 1000 places in the govern
ment printing Office. Probably 500 of
them could be brought with the
classified service. II might be impractic-
able to bring the compositors aud press
men within the rules of appointment after
examination, but all the clerical employees
ought 10 be included In the classified serv-
ice. The President is likely to extend the
rules on tho recommendation of the civil
service commission so as to take them in.
COMMISSIONER oBERLY's PLACE.
It is considered probable that John H.
Oberly, now commissioner OF Indian af-
fairs, will be appointed to succeed himself
as member OF the civil service commission
before March 4. Commissioner Oberly. by
common consent Of all who are interested
in the Indians, makes an admirable com
missioner OF Indian affairs, but the patron
age Of the office is so large and the contracts
are so numerous that already a number OF
republican candidates are pressing for il, and
President Harrison will have to appoint
one Of them very early in his administra-
tion IL he yields 10 party pressure at all
There is not tho same demand for place
on the civil service commission, and as
Commissioner Oberly made an equally ad-
mirable civil service commissioner the
President will probably put him back again

The Snub of Monday Won't Keep Him
Out of the Chamber.
PARIS, Nov. 27.-Tbe Journal DeS Debats
and other Partisan journals ridicule the
action of the majority of the members Of
the chamber of deputies in adopting the
motion of NJ Meuseuri yesterday to ad-
journ the sitting for an hour on account of
the presence of M. Wilson, son-in-law of
ex-President Grevy. They say the mem
bers who voted for the motion evidently
de ,ired to give France proof of the purity
of conscience, auterity, and virtue of the
chamber. M. Wilson, in an interview, said
the incident would not have the effect of
keeping him from the chamber. He would
continue the struggle, no matter what
action the members might take.
M. Wilson was again present in the cham
Der of deputies to-day. The deputies did
not suspend the session as was done yester-
terday, to manifest their displeasure at his
DroSence.

FOCUS IRISH TENANCIES.

A New Danger under the Land Pur-
chase Bill Set Forth.
LONDON, Nov. Discussion of the land
purchase bill was resumed in the House OF
Commons tonight.
Mr. Balfour proposed as a substitute for
Mr.. Lefevre's proposal that no advance ex-
ceeding 5000 be made for the purchase OF
holding in Ireland.
The Irish secretary suggested that Mr..
Letevres proposal be adopted, with pro-
vlso that the land commission have power
to declare that larger advance is expe-
dient; the sum in no case. however, to ex-
coed $1,000
Mr.. Lefevre's proposal with Mr.. Balfour's
amendment was agreed to.
BOGUS TENANCIEs.
Mr. Lefevre next moved that no advance
be given unless tenant, or his predecessors
In title, had occupied the holding for at
least five years. The object Of the motion,
ne SAID, was to prevent the creation OF
bogus tenancies. which might become sub
Jeet to advances under the act.
Mr.. Balfour refused his assent. He did
not believe in the existence of bogus
tenants. 1t would be UNJUST, he said, to
oi less than five years. Mr.. Balfour in
tlmated that Messrs. Harrington, Fnucane
ana other members Of the Irish party under
warrant of arrest would be permitted 70
attend the sittings Of parliament during
tne time the Irish estimates were under
discussion.
A LIMIT OF $4,000.
shaw Lefevre moved TO insert in the bill
provision declaring that no advance shall
pe co made to any tenant OF purchaser exceed
ASOO0. He urged that tenants borrowing
aoove that sum came within the landlords,
ana not within the peasant proprietor class.
MIR. Balfour opposed the motion. The
experience OF the last two years, he SAID,
uissipated all fears that the act would be
abused by turning large tenants into pro
proprletors TO the exclusion of smaller hold

az 1ole that whole estate should be sold.

LEO'S SECOND REsCRIPT.
1t Was Not Intended That It's Existence
Should Become Public.

DUBLIN, Nov. 27.-The report that a
second papal rescript had been sent to the
Irish bishops fortnight ago is now con-
firmed. 1t was intended that the receipt of
the document should not be made known,
but that the bishops should proceed to en-
force the commands contained in the
first rescript without alluding to
the existence of the second one.
But this plan was spoiled through the indis-
cretion of a servant Of the Bishop of Linn
erick, who divulged part of the contents of
the rescript. 1t is probable that the publi-
cation of part of the document will force
the pope to reaffirm publicly his wishes
regarding Ireland.
