ROOSEVELT TALKS.
FAvORS ONE COMMISSIONER, AND

Testimony.

The investigation into Civil Service
methods was continued this morning by
the House committee, Messrs. Lyman
and Roosevelt representing the Com
mission. Mr. Roosevelt was given a
chance TO explain methods and answer
questions. He introduced his remarks
by an euloay upon the Civil Service
law and The Commission
Mr.. Roosevelt was in favor Of one
Commissioner at $4,000 a year, rather
than three al $1,000 But under the
present circumstances, 70 would be
better not to change, since, under a
single Commissioner, the public would
not believe in the non partisanship Of
civil service. A perfectly Just Com.
missioner would be hard 10 find but
under the present Administration, Gov
ernor Thompson would be an excellent
head.
lie then, in answer 10 Mr. stones
request for a list OF removals, gave the
following data representing the appoint
ments and removals in the classified
service: Last year Of Arthur's admins

Removals, 1873; appointments. 330. OF
the removals under Harrison, 81 were
appOintees of President Cleveland. In
Cleveland's administration per cent

pointees were removed. The

Administration 20 per cent Of the EN-
plCyes In the postoilice at Troy, N. y,
were discharged. The Commission
investigated these removals. expecting
TO find them to have been made for po-
litical reasons. But after careful In.
vestigation they found that all the re-
movals had been justly made for neg
lect OF duty.
Mr.. Roosevelt Indignantly denied
that the present law tended toward a

GEARY ON FORCE ELECTIONS.
Governor Geary' Protest Against Hay
onot Elections In 1870.

Onot Elections In 1870
FfC1. GsaJg's daHHdl Rsssugs, ISL,
The employment Of United States
troops at elections, without the consent
Of local and State governments, has
recently received considerable attention
and apprehension. II Is regarded as an
Interference with The sovereign rights
Of the States which was not coutem-
plated by the founders Of the General
Government and If persisted In must
lead TO results disastrous 10 peace and
harmony. The practice IS one so serl-
Gus inits character and so injurious In It's
tendencies as TO merit prompt eonsidera,
tiOn and decisive action not only by
the General Assembly, but by Con-
gTess
AT the last October election United
States troops were stationed az Phila-
delphia for the aYOwed purpose of en-
forcing the election laws. This was
done without the consent or even the
knowledge Of the civil authorities Of
either the city OF the State, and with
out any express desire on the part OF
the citizens. and, as far as can be ascer-
tained, without existing necessity.
From a conscientious conviction Of its
importance / have called your attention
TO this subject. A neglect 10 have done
so might have been construed as an in
dOTsement Of measure that meets my
unqualified disappTOyal. The civil au-
thOFities OF Pennsylvania have always
been and are still competent to protect
IT'S citizens in the exercise Of their cleo
tive franchise, and the proper aud only
time for the United States military forces
70 intervene would be when the power
Of The Commonwealth is exhausted and
their aid is lawfully required

The Senate Postoflice and Post Roads

MIR REYBURNs OPINION
OF THE OUTRAGEOUS FORCE BILL-HI
DOESN'T BELIEVE ~ n.

oF THE OUTRAGEOUS FORCE HLL-HE
DOESN'T BELIEVE ~ II.
Representative Reyburn Of Phlla.
delphia, the late Judge William d.
Kelley's successor, said TO. day that he
indoTsed the hostile sentiments ex-
pressed by Senator Cameron toward
the Federal Election law. Mr.. Rey-
burn says he voted for the bill In the
House as a party measure. but that Il
did not meet the approval of his judg-
ment. He says that Il originated
In the craze for ballot reform,
and that Il was taken up by
Mr.. Lodge and others as a matter of ab-
stTact principle without regard to its
political effects. Practical politicians,
like Quay. viewed the matter in a some
what different light. In Mr.. Reyburn's
opinion the question OF undue repre-
sentation Of the Bourbon ele-
ment at the South must
be worked out by natural causes, and
viii eventually be concentrated by the
increase Of population at the Northwest
and Northern immigration into the
South

PRACTICALLY ENDED
The Great STRIFE on the New YORK
Central = Failure


Central = Faiiure
NEw YoRK. Aug 12.-Although the
strike on the New York Central Rail
road has not been declared of by the
Knights Of Labor, il is virtually at an
end. The decision of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, in refusing
TO come out was its death knell.
About the Grand Central Depot this
morning everything was quiet and
trains were being dispatched with per.
feet regularity. The police were about
as strong as ever, but there was appar-
emily no necessity for them 10 be there.
Mr. Webb said this morning he was
satisfied with the situation, and that
everything was quiet. None of the
leaders Of the KNIGHTS could be found.
Last night, along the Tenth avenue
freight tracks, q number Of car coup
lings were taken out by the young
toughs in the neighborhood, but this
was quickly stopped.
II is expected that the general execu-
tive board Of the X. Of l.. will denounce
the action Of the leaders Of the strike az
their meeting to morrow.
