CONSUL LEWIS ON TRIAL.
He Appears at the State Departmental
Hearing with Closed Doors.

The hearing Of the charges and explanations
in the case of VIM. Reid Lewis, United States
consul to Morocco, was begun at II o'clock
this morning before Secretary Blaine in the
diplomatic room of the State department Mr..
Lewis reached town yesterday morning and
took q room at Wormley's, afterward
reporting at the State department
The Secretary asked him to come again. as the
cabinet session would prevent hearing yester-
day. A STAR reporter who called at Wormley' g
this morning was told that Mr.. Lewis had gone
to Baltimore for the day. He must have
changed his mind, for he appeared at the
department on time. Benezuli, the fez
merchant who makes the charges, and Mr..
Azoque, the interpreter who has been requested
by the State department to give information,
were present, and the papers in the case were
sent for from the consular bureau. The hear
ing was secret. The charges it win be re-

other ways acted in o manner not altogether

OCCIDENTAL AND ORIENTAL.
The Chinese Exclusion Act Has Reduced
Pacific Ocean Traffic.

SAN Francisco, Oct 23.-Geo. II. Rice, traffic
manager Of the Occidental and Oriental aud
the Pacific Mail steamship companies, an
nounces that the new schedule of the Occidental
and Oriental company will go into effect on the
29th inst: that thereafter six steamers-three
belonging to each company-would perform
the service between this port and China now
performed by eight vessels.
The Arabic" said Manager Rice, "will go
back to England as there is no more use for
her. The City Of New York aud the City OF
Sydney will be placed on the Panama line,
which will increase service from two to three
steamers a month"
MIR. Rice said the withdrawal of two steamers
from the China service was owing partly to the
putting into effect of the Chinese exclusion act,
which reduced the amount of Chinese travel,
and partly competition of the Canadian Pacific
road. The new steamship China, which is to
take the place of the three vessels Withdrawn,
will arrive here about the 26th from Glasgow
She is 5000 tons burden and is one of the
largest and fastest boats plying between here
and China.

Sorting Them Out.

A change has been made in the entrance to
the Office Of the Secretary Of the Navy, the
former door at the end of the alcove being
closed. and the central one, which has never
been used and over which the American eagle
has sat for q long time with nothing to do,
has been opened. This places the reporters
who frequent this region and who have kindly
been provided with table for their work on
one side of the entrance and the ''hoy poloy,"
as some one once said, who have to wait until
noon before entering the sacred precincts on
the other side. The object of thus placing the
entrance in the center is, it is understood, that
there may be . chance inside of the room to
divide the callers so that those whose rank and
influence or the nature Of whose business
entitle them to immediate audiences can be
taken at once into the presence of the Secre-

A CONNECTICUT VIEW OF n.
Mr.. Simonds ON the Civil Service Law
and the Tariff Question.

Representative-electS Simonds of Connecticut
10 at the Arlington. He has taken . very
pleasant house on the corner Of 10th and
streets, and Is fitting it up for the reception OF
his family, who will be here about the 1st OF
November. Mr.. Simonds is q young man still,
and will be regarded as one Of the handsome
men Of the next House. There is something in
his appearance that reminds one q little Of
Gibson Of Maryland. He has q remarkably
bright eye and pleasant expression Of coun-
tenance. He is a prompt and good taIker, evil
IDENTIFY informed on public affairs, and has
agreeable manners. The things his people are
particularly interested in are the tariff and the
opening up OF trade with the Spanish-American
nations. He describes the tariff situation
quite accurately in one expression. He says
one might as well try to guess the form kalei-
doscope will take when shaken as to predict
what Congress will do with the tariff. He con-
siders it extremely desirable to open up trade
10 the south, and thinks We could afford quite
liberal concessions to the Spanish-American
people with this in view.
THE CIVIL SERVICE LAW.
A STAR reporter asked him what he thought
OF the civil service law, and if there would, in
his opinion, be any serious effort to repeal il
this winter
Undoubtedly there is a decided opposition
TO the law among the workers of both parties,
but speaking entirely from partisan point OF
view think patronage is a positive evil. ]
nave no slurs to cast upon a man who seeks
once. ! think any man may have an honor
able ambition to hold an office, and that he has
perfect right to seek it, but the possession of
patronage Is positive injury to q party, and /
think the civil service law should be maintained
and extended as far and as rapidly as it can be
OF benefit to the public service"
THE QUESTION OF THE RULES.
Speaking OF the approaching session of Con-
gress, he said he was looking for o lively and
interesting session. He expected that the
fight on rules would start with the opening of
the session and be very bitter. He was new
member, he said, and could not speak Of such
matters as understandingly as some others
could, but it was very apparent to him that
some change of rules was necessary, and he
considered that the first important thing there
would be hard fight over. He anticipated a
great deal OF trouble in settling the details of
tariff bill, he said. The manufacturers of woods
In his state had practically agreed with the
wool growers on the question of wool and
woolen duties, but Connecticut and Penn
sylvania nigh clash a little over the question
on iron.

sUMPTUARY CONFIsCATION.
The Iowa Supreme Court Sustains the
Seizure Of $4OO, 900 Worth Of Property

DEs MorSEs, La, Oct 2s.-In two cases in
which decisions were handed down by the
supreme court yesterday, the opinions having
been prepared by Judge Given, sew
eral old features and some new ones Of the pro-
hibitory law are passed upon Among the
questions i the right Of the state, by Legislative
enactment, to confscate the personal property
OF defendant without process Of law, il being
claimed that the statutes authorizing such pro-
cedure are in conflict with the Constitution of
the United States and Iowa The opinion holds
that in criminal action for nuisance against
the man the place kept by him is on trial also,
and therefore there is due process Of Law. This
is matter that has been much discussed and
involves a grave question Of the power of state
legislatures, and it is q question that will
doubtless take the case to the United States
Supreme Court for decision. The property
rendered valueless by this order Of the court
exceeds S400, 900 in value and consists Of brew
cries in the city Of Burlington.

TWO ARMY APPOINTMENTS.
Its. True and Hyde to be Assistant Quar-
termasters With the Rank of Captain.

The President has appointed Theo. E. True
first lieutenant, fourth infantry, and John NICE
Hyde, first lieutenant, eighth infantry, to be
assistant quartermasters with the rank of cap.
tain. Lieut.. True was born in Illinois, he
was made corporal in the seventeenth Illinois
infantry April 25 1861, and was commissioned
first lieutenant on the 26th of February, 1876
Lieut. Hyde during the war was private in
company A, seventy first New York regiment
He was commissioned first lieutenant on March
&c, 1878.
ARMY OFFICERS PLEASED THAT CIVILIANS WERE
NOT APPOINTED.
The announcement Of these appointments
has caused general relief in the minds of army
officers, who feared that the President was
going, in filling these vacancies, to continue
the policy indicated by the recent appointment
OF a civilian to q staff position. This action
excited considerable unfavorable comment
among service men Of all grades. and ever since
the appointment there has been half sup
pressed objection visible on all sides. 1t il
understood that the President has said that in his
opinion his predecessor was wrong in refusing
to appoint civilians to the army where the law
allowed it, and the general impression is that
Secretary Proctor had about decided to recon-.
mend that one OF these latter vacancies be
given to an outsider, but that the unmistakable
sentiment OF the army. antagonstic to such q
step, caused him to change his mind
THE YOUNGER OFFICERS aRowL.
There has been a little criticism already by
some of the younger officers that the staff
vacancies should be filed by what they are
pleased to term .'old hulks," and thus the gen.
erai satisfaction is somewhat alayed. 1t seems
to be the Secretary's policy to reward, as far az
he can, those old officers who have by reason
of the slow rate of promotion in their branches
OF the service. stood still for good many
years, and in this he is almost universally ap.
plauded both by service men and civilians, the
growls of the younger men to the contrary not.
