MINOR NOTES.

The President has appointed his brother,
Carter b. Harrison, to be United States
marshal for the middle district Of Tennes-
see. Mr.. Harrison served in the Union ar
my, rising to the rank of major, and settled
at Murfreesboro after the war was over.
He was strongly backed for the place by
the Tennessee Republicans.
The new British minister is 6 feet 6.

cord * Montreal road against the Boston &
Maine company, brought by the directors
OF the former 10 recover possession of their
line, The decision is a complete victory for
the Concord road. The order of the court
elects the Boston & Maine people and gives
the Boston, Concord x Montreal directors
control again. This result is a surprise, as
it was generally thought that tho Boston &,
Maine would win the case, and it is pre-,
dicted in some quarters that there will be a
complete change in New Hampshire rail
road management within few months.

Sir Julian Pauncefote, the new British
minister, was formally introduced to Presi.
dent Harrison by Secretary Blaine last Fri
day. Sir Julian's speech ON the occasion
was felicitous one He cordially assured
the President that his utmost endeavors"
should be devoted to the object which her
Majesty and her people have so much at
heart, the maintenance Of the relations Of
peace and friendship which happily subsist
between Great Britain and the United Safes.
and the strengthening, if possible, of the
many ties uniting those two great English
speaking countries, and added that he rs
teemed it fortunate circumstance that he
entered upon his duties at the time Of the
Washington centennial, when "a national
tribute was being offered in this country to
the greatest Of her sons Mr.. Harrison ;
reply was even briefer than the speech Of
Sir Julian, but it was no less happy and
cordial in its terms. 1T is gratifying" he
said, that her Maiesty's choice of repre-
sentative has fallen upon one whose official
station for many years past has induced an
intimate acquaintance with the relations
between the United States and the British
Empire, and added in closing that lit is
especially pleasing to know that you, as a
representative Of the British people, have
been an interested and friendly observer OF
our national commemoration Of the inaugu
ration Of the first President Of the republic .
With this, full diplomatic relations are
once more established with Great Britain,
and it is pleasant to know that the Queen
representative makes a favorable impression

The civil service Commi-.Ion

The vacancies which have existed in the
civil service commission since the appoint
ment Of Mr. Oberly as commissioner of In.
dian affairs and the enforced resignation Of
Mr. Edgerton were filled by President Har-
rison on Tuesday by the appointment Of
Theodore Roosevelt Of New York and ex
Gov Hugh 5 Thompson Of South Carolina.
Mr. Roosevelts services in behalf of good
government in New York have been so
conspicuous that he needs no introduction
to the public His friends are surprised
that he was willing to take the place, but
he will accept it and devote himself earn
esty to the work Of the commission. He
is a Jealous and outspoken friend Of civil
service reform.
Mr. Thompson, who is the Democratic
member Of the commission, is the late as
,istant secretary Of the treasury. He has
been the most pronounced advocate of civil
service reform from the Southern states
and was a civil.service reformer before ht
was appointed to place in the treasury
department Mr. Cleveland appointed hin
IA member Of the civil service commission
at the time he removed Mr.. EdgertOn, bu
he failed Of confirmation by the action o
the Republican senator's, who felt that thu
incoming Republican president should b'
allow ed to fill the two vacancies in tn
board Of commissioners.
Both Of these appointments are 50 excel
lent as to compel universal approval
Even the mugwump papers, like the Spring
field Republican and the New York Times
are forced to admit that no better chOic
could have been made and that such selec
lions show Mr. Harrison's sincerity in be
half Of the reform

The work of matchmaking the strip of

people now have an opportunity of testing
the work and considering its expense The
strip is 10 feet in length and its cost was
$3.50 This is about 81 80 per running foot
and is certainly very small sum to pay
for permanent roadway And it is fur
ther TO be remembered that the workmen.
having now gained experience in the meth
