New civil Service Rules.

WASHINGTON, July 3.-The new civil
service order which was made public yes
terday has created quite n stir in depart
mcnt circles. 1t carries civil service re-
form almost to its limits. Six new classes
of employees are added to those heretofore
existing. 1t takes in every person in
the departmental service except such as
are appointed by and with the consent of
the senate and such as are appointed as
uMskillcd laborers and messengers. The
bureau of engraving and printing, the
supervising architect 8 Office and the bu-
reau of statistics are included in the civil
service rules, and those who are
appointed in those. bureaus at per
diem pay arc to be rated with those
receiving annual salaries to the same
amount. 1t would seem that the EN-
ploycs of the government printing Office
are included also, although no mention is
made of them in the rules as published.
The provisions of this order, if they be-
come the practice of the government, will
place the American civil service nearly
ona par with that of England.

from enforcing the new law aud the schedule
of rates prepared. The notice was indorscd

number of the high officials of the railroad
companies have visited the commission the

Favorine a worlds Fair.

WASHINGTON, July 3.-The report Of
Chairman Belmont, of the house foreign
affairs committee, on the bill to provide
for 81 worlds exposition at the national
capital in 1892, has just been issued from
the government printing Office. The re-
port proper is very brief, but the appen-
dix cmbodics the remarks of Alexander
ID. Anderson, secretary of the board of
promotion, and others. made before the
committee in support of the exposition
also resolutions of national and inter.
national conventions, boards of trades.
and letters from governors of states and
ministers of South and Central American
governments, all indorsing in the strong
est terms the proposed exposition and for
permanent exposition of the three
Americas at Washington.
The committee in its report notes the
desire of various nations of the American
continent TO suitably commemorate the
coming four hundrcdth anniversary of
the discovery of America by Columbus,
and thinks the United States should take
the initiative in this matter. The com.
mittec adds:
vi the total forty-siX state n terri
torial legislatures of the United States
thirty-three meet during the coming sevcn
months, and nearly all of these in bien-
NAL session. Hence, it is important that
no time be lost in extending the invita-
tion provided for in the bill reported.
The United States has repeatedly during
the past thirty-1ve years accepted invita-
tions to participate in international expo
sitions at the capital and leading cities of
European and other foreign nations
During the present session congress has
by legislation accepted invitations to
Paris, Brussels, Melbourne and BARGE
Iona. AT our own national capital there
has never been a gathering of nations at
III exposition. The committee unani-
mously reports and recommends the pas
sage of the bill, which was reported to
the house about tive weeks ago.

Weather and Crops,

WASHINGTON, July 3.-The signal service
Office reports that the weather during the
past week has been favorable for all growing
crops in the wheat, corn and tobacco regions
of Ohio, the upper Mississippi and Missouri
valleys and Tennessee. Heavy rains doubtless
interfered with harvesting from Missouri
eastward to Virginia, and the continuous
cloudy weather over Mississippi, Louisiana
and Arkansas is reported as having been un-
favorable to the cotton plant, but an improve
ment is reported in that section during the
latter portion Of the week. In North Carolina,
South Carolina and Georgia the weather was
favorable, and all crops were doubtless i'm.
proved during the week. Reports from the
interior OF the middle states indicate that the
recent heavy rains have been very beneficial
to growing crops. The weather for the season
has been unusually unfavorablc for hay in
New England, and for wheatin Kentucky and
Tennessee.
