The total percentage of failures was 81
per cent men and 1876 per cent. women.
OF the successful applicants 1902 men and
130 women received appointments. 1t is a
notable fact that since the enactment of
civil service no women have been appoint
ed from the following named states and
territories: Arizona, Colorado. Idaho,
Kansas, Min nesota, Montana. New Jersey,
Oregon. Utah, Washington and Wyoming.
Of the total number of persons appointed
TO classified departmental service since the
approval of the civil service law in 1888,
only fifty-twO have been permanently re-
moved. Of seventv-six designations four
were reinstated. The report discusses the
subject OF appointments and makes an ar
gument against the suggestion that ap-
gressional districts. 1t recommends an
extension of the classified service to EN-
brace employees of the Indian and labor
bureaus, Indian school service, the graded
clerks in the several departments Of the
quartermaster generals Office, in the war

MOORE MISSING.
Judge Laughlin Arrives too Late With
HIS Larceny Papers.

Judge Laughlin Arrives too Late With
HIS Larceny Papers.
DToPEKA, Kas., July 17.-Judge Guthrie
released Henry w. Moore this morning,
but he was Immediately rearrested for
adultery and placed under $500 bond and
his case set for next Monday.
THE DIsAPPEARANCE. .s II
ST. LOUIS, July 17.-Dispatches received
from Topeka this afternoon say that not
withstanding that Moore declared after
his release by Judge Guthrie that he would
not attempt to evade the officers and that
he could be found at the Copeland, he has
disappeared and nobody seems to know
his whereabouts. He was last seen IN con-
sultation with his attorney on the street.
He said he had not seen Mr.. Norton since
his release, and as Mrs. Norton will not
see newspaper men, no information OF
Moore can be obtained from that source.
Juge Laughlin did not arrive in time to be
in court when Moore was released. It is
known, however, that he will bring
amended and strictly accurate papers for
Mo0re's rearrest, but SO long as the charge
of adultery stands against him the latter
cannot be arrested for larceny. It is stated
drawn to enable Judge Laughliu to have
him arrested.
Dispatches received from Topeka late to-
night say that his whereabouts had not
been discovered. Mrs. Norton has also
left the hotel and cannot be found. The
general impression is that they are to-
gether somewhere in the vicinity.

Grinnell Nipped in the Bud.
CHICAGO, July 17.-By bold, timely &C
tion Inspector Bonfield this morning prob
ably saved the lives OF himself and judges

CONFIRMED,

CONFIRMED.
Among the combinations to-day was
that of Thomas H. B. Jones. Indian agent
at BerthOld agency, Dakota.
AS TO FULLER's CONFIRMATION.
q The Fuller case was reached and taken
up by the senate in secret session to-day.
Discussion was not formally begun, though
informally the case was talked over about
half an hour. Some members of the judi
ciary committee took occasion to say that
there had never been purpose on the part
of any one in committee to postpone action
until next session as had been charged,
and that while they were opposed to his
confirmation. their reasons were entirely
of public character. This was interpret
ed to mean that there were no charges
which they considered Of weight touching
the personal character of the nominee.
Senator Edmunds was not present to-day
and SO the case went over, being unfinished
business at adjournment. The impression
prevails that Mr.. Fuller will be confirmed
tomorrow or next day.

The Senate.

WASHINGTON, July 18.-The senate pro-
ceeded to the consideration OF the senate
bill for the formation and admission into
union of the state of Washington to be
composed of the present territory of Wash
ington and part of Idaho territory. Mr..
Cullom offered substitute contining the
area of the new state to that of the present
territory of Washington. Mr.. Stewart
supported the bill. The only controverted
point, he said, was the inclusion within
the new state of a portion of Idaho, the
portion known as North Idaho or as the
panhandle. Mr.. Vest doubted the power
of congress to refer the matter of the an
nexation of Northern Idaho to the people
thereof. There had been, he said, a vast
amount of adjudication in the question
and the weight of authority was decidedly
against such disposition of legislative
power. for this was nothing else. If it was
right that a part of Idaho should be cut
off and annexed to Washington, it should
be done by congress and not be subject to
all the chances of popular election. Mr..
Dolph favored the bill. Mr.. Cullom ia
vored the immediate admission of the new
state, but opposed the annexation of a
portion Of Idaho. Mr.. Stewart read large
number of resolutions, letters and state
ments in support of the annexation of North
Idaho and said thai nature had made those
four counties which are in the great
Columbia basin a part OF Washington.
But in view of the suggestion that a ma
jority of their people were opposed to the
annexation, the bill provided for submit
ting the question to them, they being the
only people interested.
Without action the senate proceeded to
the consideration of executive business
and soon adjourned.
The house devoted the day to the con-
sheraton of the tariff bill in committee of
the whole.

notwell enough to speak on the fisheries
question to-day.
Mr.. Allison from the committee on ap-
preparations reported back the sundry
civil appropriation bill and said he would
call it up.
The senate proceeded to the considera-
tion of the bill to place John G. Fremont
on the retired list as major general. Mr..
Regan ana Mr.. Cockrell opposed the bill.
Mr.. Wilson Of Iowa asked Mr.. Cockrell
whether he had not voted to put Fitz John
Porter on the retired list. Mr.. Cockrell
admitted having done SO, but if he. had
done wrong once that would not Justify
him in doing wrong twice. MI. Wilson
said that if the senator admitted a wrong
in the Fitz John Porter case he would not
press him further. Mr.. Cockrell would not
admit anything Of the kind. Fitz John
Porter had nothing to do with this case.
That h0bg0blin always came up. If the
military commission examined General
Fremont's record and reported that great
wrong had been perpetrated on him and if
general Of the army indorsed that state
ment, then he (CockrelD would vote to re-
store him to his rank. Mr.. Cockrell said

The House.

The house went into committee of the
whole on the tariff bill, the internal rev.
enue feature pending. On behalf of the
ways and means committee, Mr.. McMillen
of Tennessee offered an amendment pro-
viding that the bond required to be given
by the cigar manufacturers shall be such
penal sum as the collector OF internal
revenue may require and not less than
500 for every person proposed to be em-
ployed by such manufacturer. Adopted.
There were two pending amendments
coming over from yesterday one offered
by Mr.. Wise repeating the tax on cigars,
cheroots and cigarettes, and one by Mr..
S0wden of Pennsylvania ab0lishing the
tax on spirits distilled from apples, peaches
and other friits. Mr.. Wise's amendment
was defeated and Mr.. Sowden's was with
drawn. Mr.. Sowden again offered his
amendment abolishing the tax on fruit
spirits. Mr.. McMillen sent to the clerks
desk and had read an extract from Mr..
Blaine's Paris letter in which he opposes
the repeal Of the whisky tax and says that
to cheaper the price of which is to in
crease the consumption. Mr.. Brewer said
that Mr.. Blaine would find that ninety
per cent. of the republicans of the country
were in hearty accord with the views ex-
pressed in his letter. Mr.. Wilson Of Min
nesota supposed the body Of moralists was
that body which sat in Chicago and de-
clared in favor of removing the tax from
whisky and brandy rather than from the
necessaries of life. Mr.. Perkins of Kan
sas addressed himself to denial Of the
charge that republicans are in favor of
free whisky. Mr.. Galliger of Kansas said
that if the republican party was for free
whisky,so was the prohibition party and so
was the W.C.T.U. He was in favor of the
repeal of International taxation rather than
destroy the tariff laws. On that issue the re
publican party proposed to 20 to the peo-
pie in November next and propose Harri-
son andlMorton. Mr.. Sowden's amendment
was then rejected ~ to 70. Mr.. Warner
of Missouri offered an amendment provid-
ing that the special tax on wholesale and
retail dealers in oleomargarine shall be $40
and IS respectively Rejected. Mr.. Butter
worth moved to strike out the clause to
which he had objected and his motion was
advocated by Mr.. Bayne Of Pennsylvania,
who argued that the clause meant free
whisky. The motion was lost-75 to 96.
