Their Depredattons in Colorado are Re-
coming UnbearabIe-The Was Depart
ment Notified.
WASHINGTON, Aug. Ex-Governor
Cooper, of Colorado, has sent to the
president telegram about the Ute In
dams. 1t has been sent to the secretary
of war for his action. The telegram
says: 81 am just in receipt of the fol-
lowing communication by mail, signed
by forty-seven citizens of Roulett
county, Colorado, adjoining the Ute res.
ervation: The undersinned citizens OF
Roulett county beg leave to represent
from White Rock reservation have come

days, some to Diamond mountain, some
to Beeson basin, Brown park and Doug.

their innumerable ponies and horses

not longer peaceably endure. We re-
spectfully request your honor to try and
prevent their coming into Roulett county

action on the part of the federal govern
ment will prevent trouble. If they are

in giving them permits is, in view Of the
danger, most indefensible crime, and

AS STATED BY Mr.. LYMAN.

The Civil Service Commission Powerless
Than as Prescribed by Congress.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-Civil Service
Commissioner Lyman's attention was
called to the dispatch from Indianapolis
to the effect that recent decision of the
commission that soldier is not TO be
given preference in appointment unless
he was discharged on account of disabil-
ity contracted during his term of enlist
ment is causing bad feeling among the
ex-soldiers in that vicinity. Mr.. Lyman
said the dispatch seemed to imply that
the commission had made some new
ruling that Disseminated against the
old soldiers; but such was not the case.
The law as passed by congress designated
certain classes to which preference was
to be given, and the giving of such pref
erence to classes of persons not so desig-
mated would be clearly an assumption of
functions not voted to them.
"It has long been painfully evident to
the commission, says Mr.. Lyman, THAT
section 1854 is very negotiable in its
operations and the attention of congress
and the public has more than once been
drawn to the matter: but as long as that
section remains law the civil service
rules must give preference to those de-
scribed by it, and not to any others in
the same way or sense Congress alone
can enlarge or abridge the class to which
preferep ces shall be giyenn

AFFECTS OLD SOLDIERS
A Surprising Decision Rendered
by The Civil service Com
mission.
Veterans Have No Preference Unless
Discharged from Service on Ac-
count of Disability.
The Opinion Given In Answer to In.
quiries from the Postmaster ut
indianapolis.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 26.-A surprising
decision of the civil service commission,
applying directly to the Indianapolis
postoffice and affecting generally large
class of applicants for federal positions,
is causing bad feeling here among ex-
soldiers who were ON the list of persons
eligible to appointment in the mail serv-
ice. The local civil service board and
Postmaster Wallace being unable to
agree upon the meaning of the rules re-
lating to the appointment of old soldiers
several days ago asked the commission
at Washington whether or not a soldier
who had been honorably discharged was
to be given preference over civilians
who had attained high grade in the
examination. In a letter just received
the commission holds that a soldier is
not to be given preference unless he was
discharged from the service on account
of disability contracted during his term
of enlistment. The ruling was so sur
prising in its nature that Postmaster
Wallace refused to believe that it could
be in accordance with the spirit of the
law. At his request meeting of the
local board to consider the decision will
be held. The postmaster does not think
the decision will stand. IL it does a
number of soldiers who would have been
given positions Immediately will be
barred from the service.

TROOPS EOR ALASKA,

The War Department Favors the Estab-
lishment of a Military Post at sitka.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-It is probable
a company or two of infantry from the
military division of the Pacific will
shortly be detailed for duty in Alaska.
\ number of prominent citizens of
Sitka have petitioned President Harri-
son for detachment of regulars to pro-
tect life and property in the territory,
and it is understood that Secretary Proc
tor favors the proposition and has SO
stated to the president. There have
been no troops in Alaska since 1872,
whence they were withdrawn after hav-
ing been located there in considerable
force from the date of the purchase of
the territory in 1857. The recent seiz-
ure of illicit sealers in Behring sea and
the small force of deputy marshals in
Sitka may have fastened this deter
mination on the part of the govern
ment

CRETE AGAIN REBELLIous.
The Little Island In q Blaxs1 OF Inau
reetlon Once More,

The Little Island In q Blaxsa of Insur-
rection Once More.
LONDON, Aug. 28.-The renewed dis
turbances reported from Crete again
cause serious concern am ng European
statesmen. 1t is evident that the inac-
tivity of the insurgents on the island for
the past few days was not due so much
to the announcement of the attitude of
the powers towards them as to the hope
of concessions on the part of the sultan.
The insurgents recently appointed seven
commissioners to formulate their de-
mands and submit them to the sultan,
which was done some days ago. These
demands were: A reduction of taxa
ton: financial autonomy; reconstruction
of the law courts and the distribution of
public offices to Christians and Moham-
medans, in proportion to the population
of each. Thursday the news reached
Crete that every one of these PROPOSE.
tions had been rejected by the porte and
the island was again
IN A BLAZE OF RESURRECTION.
Coupled with the sultan's rejection OF
the Cretan demands came an intimation
that if the islanders would only remain
peaceable, a Christian governor would
be appointed in the place of Chakir Pa
sha, whose appointment is only provis-
ional. This promise, however, failed OF
its purpose, as the Cretans did not credit
its sincerity and they at once resumed
their arms, determined to upset the rule
of the hated Turk on the island. Scat
tered reports of fighting between the in.
surgents and Turkish troops reach here,
and the outlook is anything but peace
full,

carried poles to ends of which were at

was given an opportunity to deposit any
spare coins they chose to donate. There
was amerry patter of coins too, from the
penny of the laboring man to the shil-
