Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
WASHINGTON, February 9.-The
President to-day sent the nomina-
lion to the Senate of Hugh S. Thomp-
son, of South Carolina, to be United
States Civil Service Commissioner, in
place of Alfred P. Edgerton, removed.
Judge Edgerton was at the Cap.
itol this afternoon. He says he
received no intimation from the
President OF any intention to re-
to remove him from office until yester-
day, when he called at the White House.
The President then requested him to re-
sign in order that his place might be
filed by Thompson. The President said
there was little hope of securing place
for Thompson as long as there was no
suitable vacancy on the Commission.
Edgerton declined to resign, holding that
his resignation would not be polite,
creditable to himself or calculated to help
any other person Gntimatirg that
Thompson could not be confirmed if
nominated). OF course the President
might exercise his prerogative il he saw
fit. The President did see fit, and when
Edgerton reached his Office this morning
he found the following letter awaiting
him:
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, February 9th.
DEAR SIR: You are hereby removed
from the Office of United States Civil
Service Commissioner.
GROVER CLEVELAND.
To Hon. A. P. Edgerton.
When the news was communicated to
the remaining Commissioner, Lyman,
that officer was surprised and found
himself in predicament, as be was by
no means satisfied that he had the
authority single-handed to discharge the
formal duties of Civil Service Commits
sioner. Edgerton says he cannot recall
any differences with the President dur.
ing his term of Office except those grow.
ing out of what he describes as the fact
that "the President is the first mugwumI
in the land, while l am straight oui
Democrat" He intends to write letter
to the President in day or two, ac
knowledging the receipt of his notice o
removal and perhaps adding an expires
sion of his opinion upon the Presidents
course in the matter.

THE CAPTAIN TELLS his OWN STORY.
HOW THE ozAMA WENT TO GoNAIvEs IN SPITE
OF THE HAYTIAN MINISTER OF
FOREIGN AFEaIRS


The arrival of the steamer Ozama of the Clyde
Line, Sunday night announced yesterday,
and brief story has been told of her seizure by
Legitime Further particulars were obtained from
Captain Rockwell of the Ozama, yesterday, which
make an interesting story. Captain Rockwell is
the son of Admiral Rockwell, of the laptic. lie
said that the steamer was bound for Gonaives and
when she was thirty-two miles from that place
three of Legitime's gunbosts. La Defense La
MarceIle and the Toussafnt HOverture, sighted
her. Captain Rockwell says that the Ozama was
at that time in neutral waters, four and half
miles from shore But La Defense sent shot
whizzing by the Ozama's bow, and then sent
boat alongside
The captain of La Defense sent word that Cap
tain Rockwell must report on La Defense,
but Captain Rockwell who was standing u1der
the American flag, said that the captain of La
Defense might come on board Of the Ozama II he
wanted TO- and do his talking there.
But the captain OF the Ilaytian gunboat sent on
his proxy, man named Cox, who sported the title
of Officer of La Defense Cox asserted that 10
naives was blocl1aded port, and gave captain
Rockwell his choice Of proceeding TO Port-aII
Prince. .Iacmel or Aux Cages. Captain Rockwell
protested against the outrage, but finally selected
Port-au-Prince. Thither the Ozama proceeded
under nine armed men of La Defense. AT Port-al.
Prince the OZama was tied up under the guns Oh
the fort at midnight
Captain Rockwell was not allowed to 90 on
shore to see the American Minister until p m.
That official promptly demanded an explanation,
Kellogg arrived. however, on June II and he
demanded that the Ozama he released. The Hay
tan Minister of Foreign Affairs was willing 10 70
release the Ozama on condition that she should
not 90 TO Gonaivcs Captain Kellogg however,
said that she should, if he had to. go with her.
That ultimatum settled the question, captain
Rockwell would say nothing as TO whe,,her . .ue
owners of the Ozama or the American Minister
had demanded or would demand an indemnity for
the seizure of the OZama CO..

Secretary Johnson Of the Board Of Charities had
meanwhile examined the books of the Brazil BLOCK
Coal Company, which represents threefifths OF all
the operating interests here, and had found their
statement true He therefore urged the miners COM
mittee to accept the offer both because the claim
was true and because large orders for coal were
pending that would in week ten days go else
where with the result that the miners would be
thrown out of work indefinitely or would be forced
10 work at a still greater reduction. The Rev O. {.
