GETTING INTERESTING.
Some Particulars of tho ESCAPE of the
British Sealer from Her Csptors.

TORONTO, Aug. IA special from OF
tawa to the Imperial, government organ
says there was considerable chucklinp
here at the news from Victoria OF the safe
arrival there of the sealer Black Diamond.
Although there is naturally much excite
ment still existing at the Outrageous conduct
OF Capt. Shepard is forcibly boarding the
vessel and breaking the ships lockers
ohepard's action and that of his govern
ment offered very remarkable contrast
to the treatment extended the United
States fishing vessels that have beer
seized or detained for transgression of the
Canadian fishery laws of the Atlantic.
Apart altogether from the recent seizure,
the conduct of Capt. Shepard must OF
necessity engage the most serious atten-
ton of his home government. In this
case the vessel having British register and
flying the British flag is boarded on the
high Sc, and forcibly searched. Under
those circumstances it is surely due to
British vessels pursuing legitimate calling
that the imperial government should,
without further procrastination, take
prompt and decisive measures to protect
its commerce beyond the territorial
waters OF the United States or any other
territory.
Capt. Handy telegraphed the minister
ofcustoms that the Black Diamonds clear
ance papers, coasting license and certifi-
cate OF registry, US well as her salted
skins, were taken from her.

CIVIL SERVICE.
Interviews with Cabinet Officers on the
Civil Service Commission.

WASHINGTON, Aug. THE Post pub
fishes series OF interviews with the mem.
bers OF the cabinet denying the statement
OF Civil Service Commissioner Roosevelt
in published interview that the civil
service law had been violated by cabinet
officer against his protest The only
member OF the cabinet not interviewed
was Mr.. Blaine, who was ont of the city.
The gentlemen interviewed were also
asked il they thought the public service
was improved by the work OF the civil
service commission if, under other con-
diti0ns, they would fill their departments
with meritOrious men OF both parties or
with Republicans regardless OF morals,
and whether, as heads OF departments
they believed that they were better quail
fed than anybody else to select clerks.
To the first question the general response
was that they had not been in office long
enough to form Il judgment. To the sec
ond Secretary Noble replied: II don't
think many Democrats have been ap-
pointed to office by me so far" The sec.
rotary said that ii the seUtion rested
with him, candidates for office would be
chosen on their merits. Secretary Proctor
said: "Of course, the first consideration
would be the proper transaction of public
business. have not had reason in my
administration to find fault with the oper-
alton OF the law. am believer in the
principle Of civil service reform. but,
like all other things, it is probably not
perfect"
In response to the third question the
members OF the cabinet stated that they
were glad to be relieved OF the necessity
of selecting clerks, as they were too busy
with other matters to give it the attention
it would require. :

Boulanger's humliating defeat in tho

ened every bourse in Europe, but it does
not follow necessarily that even his equally
crushing defeat at the coming elections
for the new chamber would improve
Europe's chances for sustained peace
Most right.thinking people all over the
world will rejoice to see this impudent i'm
postor thrown aside, and the French re-
public thereby more firmly established
than ever, but is must be borne in minC
that the republic simply by giving thi,
great proof of its enduring strength will
mcasurably advance itself in the estima,
ton OF the Russian czar, and will certain
ly meet with a prompt opportunity OF sign
ing treaty ofalllance with Russia.
Heretofore the car has held back
fearing the inability of the French gov.
ernment. Ii the election disposes of
Boulangerism that obstacle will no lorger
exist, and there will be Franco-Russian
treaty before New Years. Shrewd dip
lOmatic observers incline to the belief
that the existence Of suah a treaty would
tend to imperl the European situation
rather than otherwise.
