Something About the Lottery Of once

WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-There ere COM
paratiyely few names on the regiz ters for
southeastern states of ''eligibles" who have
passed the civil service commissions ex-
aminations for places in the departments
here.
To be "eIigibles" they must have passed
with the minimum mark of Il Of toe two
examinations for the departmental service
within year. At the end of year from
the time they were put on the registers if
they have not been appointed they are
dropped and cannot get back without &C.

ton, unless they are ex-federal soldiers or
sailors.

clerk" at ,000 or more, aud limited, "
that is for the place of ''male or female
copyist" at less than $1,000.
KEPT FROM THE PUBLIC.
These 'eligible lists" have hitherto been
carefully guarded from public view. The
theory was that if the ma nes were known
wicked congressmen consplring with wicked
officials would get their favOrltes appointed
just as they used to do under the spoiIs
sys EN-. AS matter of fact, the secrecy
thrown around the eligible lists helped in
stead of hindering the wicked politicians
No outsider could tell whether an appoiutee
was or was not on the eligible list, or if he
was what his mark was or what the marks
of his rivals were.
ALL MAY KNOW NOW.
But now that the lists are given out for
publication, all the world may know all
about it.
Every candidate on the list can watch the
others, and can know to denounce any at
tempt to violate the law in selecting from it.
Following are the lists for Georgia, Flor
ida and South Carolina arranged as they
stand on the civil service commissions

ANTWERP's FIRE OUT.
The Number of the Dead Certain to
Run Up to 200.

ANTWERP, Sept. 8.-The fire which
Started in the cartridge factory on Friday
has at last been extinguished. Several
more corpses have been found and the
number of dead will certainly reach 200.
King Leopold and the cabinet ministers to-
day visited the hoptals where the sufferers
by the fire are being cared for. The arrest
Of M. Carvinailan, the proprietor Of the
cartridge factory, has been ordered.
OUT IN THE OPEN AIR.
Many persons passed the night in the
open air, dreading to remain In taeir homes
owing to the explosions Of petroleum which
occurred at intervals uatil this morning.
The village of Austruwell inhabited by
artisans, was completely destroyed for hun
dreds of yards, and in its vicinity not
building escaped damage. All parts of the
city show more or less damage, and por-
tons have the appearance of having been

CARN0TS CABINET CHASE
NO ONE YET FOUND WHO Is kBLE
TO FORM A MINISTRY.

The President Leans to Body Com
posed Entirely of Senators-Tirard
Refused to Try His Hand The New
Body to Have the Right of Dissolu
tion.
PARIS, Feb. 19.-In spite of continued ne
gotiations the settlement OF the cabinet
crisis appears as distant as ever. The fail
ure of M. Meline indicates the absolute i'm
possibility of forming cabinet on Ferryist
or Opportuuist lines. 1t was to demonstrate
this that President Carnot insisted so
strongly that M. Meline should attempt the
task, saying that if he could not succeed no
man in his group could hope to do better.
TIRARD's REFUSAL.
The President to-day offered the premier
ship to NJ Tirard, only to meet with an
other refusal. He then sent M. Tirard to
summon NJ. .Melne, whom he urged to
make another effort under fresh conditions.
NJ. Meline steadily declined. The difficulty
of the position may be realized from the
fact that an obscure politician named
Prevet was afraid to risk entering ID.
Meline's proposed ministry.

ministry would have be- ter prospect of
securing general support than a govern
ment composed of more pronounced mem
bers of the chamber; but late this evening
nothing had been settled.
WOULD BE UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
There is no basis for rumors regarding an
extra parliamentary cabinet, which would
be unconstitutional.
Deputy Delattre has withdrawn his
motion in favor of the formation of min
istry outside of parliament.
At o meeting of the radical left, several
deputies expressed themselves in favor of
"concentration cabinet" having a special
mandate to conduct elections and compris-
ing minister of the interior acceptable to
all the republican groups
THE RIGHT OF DISSOLUTION.
The president will probably be obliged tc
give the new cabinet the right Of dissolu-
tion.
Ex-President Grevy has been taken sud
denly ILL., 1t is feared that his constitution
will break down. His family is very anx-

The report that Gen. Boulanger would
make a tour of Italy and Hungary is denied.

GUESTS FROM CANADA,
A Proposition to Put Uncle Sam in the
Role of Host.

Role OF Host.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-Repressntative
Butterworth to-day introduced in the
House a joint resolution authorizing the
President to invite the members of the
parliament of the Dominion of Canada,
aud the cabinets of the several provinces,
to visit the United States as the guests of
the nation. The preamble recites that the
enlightened civilization of the age demands
that international differences be ad djusted
by peaceful methods of arbitration; that
the establishment and encouragement of
healthful trade and commerce between
the United States and other nations,
especially with our ne ghbDrs aud
kinsmen of Canada, is one Of the obvious
duties of congress; that social and business
intercourse can accomplish m re than
diplomacy to remove the causes of differ
ence; that the press of the United States
and Canada have suggested that good re-
suits would follow personal observation by
members of the dominion parliament and
cabinets Of our resources aud people; and
that as congress is devoting many millions
for war snips and engines of war,
a reasonable appropriation in the
interests of peace cannot be withheld.
Therefore the resolutions request the Presi-
dent to invite the members OF the Canadian
parliament and the premiers and cabinets
OF the provinces to visit the United States
about May l. to be guests and partakers Of
the hospitality of the people Of the U United
States; that a committee of seyenty-five
members of the House and Senate be
appointed to carry out the provisions of the
resolution, and the resolution appropriates
$50, 900 for the purpose.
Senator Morgan has offered an amend
ment to sundry civil bill appropriating
100000 to defray expenses of proposed
triD.

| have also read the circular of the league
accompanying this invitation, in which the OBJ
jects and purposes of the proposed convention
are specially set forth.
The scheme OF practical and efficient work
therein described meets with my hearty ap-
proval, and promises, If honestly adhered to,
most valuable aid IN furtherance OF the cause
which is very near to the interests and welfare
of our people.
is the misleading of our Countrymen by specous
theories, cuunngly contrived. and falsely offer
ing to the people relief from the present bur
dens and legitimate benefits OF bsneficent rule
under the sanction OF free institutions
The declared purposes of your league will not
be attained until all those interested IN the
economic question wnicl is now press upon
their attention are freed from all sophistries
and clouding falacies, and until the subject Of
tariff reform Is pres anted to them as topic
involving the relief OF the plain people in the
land, IN their homes. from useless and unjust
expense. The question Is simple and plain
one, and needs buC 10 be fairly presented to be
understood. 1t Is the positive duty of your
organization to guard the people against decep-
tiOn.
My extreme interest in the work which your
league has undertaken and in the expressed OBJ
iects of the proposed convention would load me
TO accept your Invitation if it were possible to
do so. But my public duties here positively
prevent such acceptance.
Hoping that the convention will be very sue
cessful, and with an earnest wish for the pros
perity and success of your league in It's efforts
to enlighten and benefit the people am yours
very truly, GROVER CLEVELAND.
Great applause greeted the reading OF the
letter, after which routine business began.
