The Civil Service Commission in Earnest,

WASHINGTON, June ga communica-
ton was rccently'received by the civil ser
vice commissioner from Postmaster
Wright, secretary of the local board of
civil service examiners at Port Huron,
Mich, asking that the board be allowed to
hold competitive examination on the 18th
of July for clerks and inspectors in the Gus
tom house, in place of that announced for
the 18th of June, which was not held. The
commission has directed a reply allowing
the examination to be held for clerks, but
not inspectors, on the ground that the sec
rotary of the board had furnished no state
ment of the number of names on the eli
gible list for appointment as inspectors
Speaking of this list Commissioner
Roosevelt, on behalf of the commission,
said: eve are especially reluctant to do
this, but it is in consequence of an article
which appeared in Detroit paper purport-
ing to be an interview with MIR. Geer, col
lsctor of customs at Port Huron. So far
as we know, this interview has not yet been
repudiated. In it Geer is reported as
strenously condemning the civil service
law and expressing the belief that the
proper theory to adopt in the management
of his Office is implied in the old adage, TO
the victors belong the spoils.' Geer has
been appointed an officer in the custom
house whose duty it is to administer
the law which he thus condemns
His expression renders It especially incum-
bent upon the commission to see that no
chance whatever is given for an evasion of
the law. The commission has no control
over the expression of any public officer,
but they intend to make it their particular
duty to prevent any administration of the
law in accordance with the theories enun-
ciated by Geer, and they will tolerate no
violation and ovation of the statute. The
examinations are open to all, Democrats
and Republicans alike" Continuing Rose
welt said 1.-The statement is to be consid-
cred as an authoritative statement of the
position of the commission. The state
ments of King attributed to Geer have the
effect Of keeping Democratic applicants
from applying for competitive examination
in the classified service. We wish to
show them that the commission will take
good care to see that Geers words remain
words only and do not crystalline into
deedsr

At Kilraiu,s Quarters.

[Spe ,laI 10 THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch. ]
BALTIMoRE, June 2S.-Yesterday was OPP
aressiVely hot, but Kilrain went through his
exercises Just the same. For his long tramp
he selected the shadiest roads and kept as
much out of the sun as possible. When he
returned to his quarters in the evening, he
remained at the bath little longer than
usual, and then received an extra hard rub
down. His short morning trot was made
in Druid Hill park in the cool of the morn
ing and gave him rafting appetite for
breakfast.
Among the callers yesterday were num-
Der OF ladies', who are summering in the
neighborhood, all of whom were presented
to both Kiirain and Mitchell. They spent
some time in listening to Mitchelrs des-
cription Of former prize fights, and then left
with good impression Of Kilrain
When Kilrain was shown a copy of the
dispatch containing Goqernor Nichols
proclamation forbidding the fight to come
off in the state of Louisiana, he replied
that il world not have the slightest effect
upon the mill, as 1t can be held in three
other states and yet be within the required
limit of 200 miles from New Orleans. His
agents, who are now travelling near New
Orleans in search of battle ground, will
take good care that the laws of Louisiana
shall not be violated. Following Sulllvan's
example, Kilcain's frien is have engaged
for him a special car to carry him south.
The car viii be fitted up with every con
venience, and only Mitchell and Johnny
Murphy, besides Kilrain, will ride in it.
Attached to the same train. however, will

remembered, refereed the Aaron Collier

The Funeral of Mrs. R. B. HAYES.

FREMONT, o., June 2S.-The morning
trains have brought quite number of per
sons to pay their last tribute of respect to
the late Mrs. Hayes. There were groups
of old soldiers to be seen everywhere on
the streets, or on the way to the Hayes
homestead
The wide hall, parlors, and library are
heavy with perfume of flowers, tributes
from public and private friends, and from
the comrades in arms of General Hayes
and military and civic organizations. The
profusion of these is bewildering, many
being of most elaborate nature. Among
the great number arriving today were a
magnificent pail of white lilies and maiden
hair ferns from the President and Mrs.
Harrison; a cross of ivy on a base of lilies
from the national organization of the w. @.

Especial to THE HERALD.-Examiner Dispatch

| Especial to THE Observation-Disclosures Dispatch. |
WASHINGTON, June pa good deal of
misrepresentation seems to exist regarding
the reported return of Geronimo and his
Apache followers to the Indian reservation
in Arizona. Dispatches from Tuscon state
that the entire press and people of the
territory are loud in their opposition to the
movement. The truth is that no such pro
position ever has been advanced. Several
weeks ago General Howard, who is inter
ested in the subject of elevating and civil
izing the Indians, sent letter to General
Miles requesting the services of Capt.
Pierce of the First infantry, now on duty
at the Benicia, California, arsenal to assist
! in removing the Apaches from their present
quarters at Fort Pickens, Ala, to a more
suitable location. Capt. Pierce's services
were desired because of his wide familiarity
with the Apache customs and language. 1t
never was designed to return them to
Arizoua, or even permit them to cross the
Mississippi river.
Secretary Proctor fell in quite readily
with General Towards proposition, and
several days ago Capt John Bourke, of the
army, and Professor Painter Of the Indian
Rights commission, of Boston, started
south, with view to finding home for
the Apaches The band, which has been
in captivity three years, numbers in all
about three hundred and eighty souls. 1t
is designed to purchase 10000 acres for
their accommodation and place them upon
it. A distinguished official of the war
department said yesterday that the Apaches
are the brainiest and cleverest of all the
Indian tribes, and that if left alone and
properly treated, would make good citizens.
| The object of removing them from Fort
Pickens is to put them in soma place where
the material improvements they will make
will be to their permanent advantage.
Under existing circumstances whatever
homes they make for themselves they may
be compelled at any moment to leave,
owing to the fact that they are now on a
military reservation and liable to removal
whenever in the opinion of the secretary,
or the general commanding that depart
ment, it is desirable to do so.

now minister of the interior. 1t is stated
that Constans has cause to know that his

serious, but they were not backed by proof.
The cabinet, through its mouthpiece, M.
Tirard, formally denied the accusations
repeated by de Lamartiniere. Tirard af-
firmed that Richards dismissal was en-
tirely due to differences of opinion be-
tween him and the government as to the
policy to be pursued in AMMAN and Tonquin,
M. fRichaud having entertained ideas
widely at variance with those of his pre-
decessors, including M. Behourdt. After
rambling and heated debate the majority
sustained the government. Just now
French political parties are subject to an
epidemic of recrimination and defamation.
M Dumas Giley set the example and the
experiment cost him dearly enough. He
found many imitators, however, and the
public is at a loss whom to believe, and
very naturally suspects everybody.

Tonight, for the first time since his
arrest on Tuesday night, John F. Beggs

not because he had nothing to tell. He
protested in the strongest terms against

as they did without giving the slightest
excuse for his detention. He said he was
arrested as he was entering his own door,
and that the officers refused even to allow
him TO notify his wife.

THE ALGER-PLATT ALASKAN TRIP
1t is Said that these Gentlemen Have an
Eye on the Seal Fisheries Contract.
Especial to THE HEaALD-Examlner

Especial to THE Observation-Disclosures Dispatch
NEW YORK, June 2S.-Alger and Plat
are believed to have their eyes on the con
tract covering the seal fisheries in Behring
sea, which has been enjoyed by the Alaska
| Commercial company for the last twenty
years. The contract is worth making a
dozen trips to Alaska to obtain. The
contract between the government and the
Alaska Commercial company will expire
May, 1899, and this is the last year that
| the Commercial company will have the ex-
elusive right to take seals in Behring sea,
unless the contract is renewed. II will
take a new company several months to get
into shape to continue the work Of taking
seals, so an early decision on the part of
the government in the matter is antici-
pated. Under existing laws the letting OF
the contract is left entirely to the decision
of Secretaries Tracy and Window, who
will probably make known their decision
before January l.
Platt and Alger are going 10 Alaska be-
cause they wish to investigate the extent Of
the seal industry before engaging in it. It
is not probable that the government will
re-let the contract on the same favorable
terms as were granted in 1870. Platt and
Alger viii be able TO bid more intelligently
after having looked over the field 1t Is
not likely that the seals will be eyterni-
mated for d great many years to come, but
ordinary business prudence would induce
Platt and Alger to look into the matter very
thoroughly before embarking in it.
1t is known that the Alaska Commercial
company is making strenuous efforts to OBJ
tain renewal Of the contract The plum
is such rich one that there are already a
dozen or more applicants in the field.
Whether Window will advertise for pro
posals is not known. This question is sug-
gested: Might not Ayers presidential
boom be stilled, and the support of Pla5
won over to Harrison by a iudicious letting
of the seal contract? There is no Objec-
ticn," said an eX-gOvernment Official ''tO
Wind ON letting the contract for taking
seals in Behring sea by advertisement
Inscriptions men might be induced to put
in a very high bid with the expectation of
making up for it by dishonest methods.
The best thing for the secretary to do is to
| fix fair rate and then let the contract for
| say ten years sponsibleparties. A twenty
years lease for government to give is, in
my judgement, too long. OF course no
one expects the contract to be let on tho
same terms as before. The old grant and
the value of the privilege had not been APP
preciated at the time. Millions have been
realized out of Alaska seals, and there are
millions yet in sight The question is, who
will get the plum? The return of Alger
and Paltt will be awaited with interest,"
