TO SAVE THE WHEAT.
Railroads Offering to Garry Men and Ma
chimes to North Dakota.

ST. PAUL, Mimi. Sept. 80 The job
bers' union of St Paul has issued an
urgent call for threshers and machines
for North Dakota. Unless they can be
got in numbers great part of the inn
mense wheat crop OF that state will be
lost. So short is the working force
that farmers are now threshing from
the shock and helping each other out.
But by this process not nearly all of
the wheat can be saved and the impor-
tant fall blowing cannot be done, The
railroads are offering to carry machines
and men to the harvest fields and re-

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
The Census Bureau scored by the League
Committee.


INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. 30. The
national civil service reform league
met here at noon, many prominent re-
formers from all over the country be-
ing present. The great interest
centered in the report of the
special committee which pays
particular attention to the COM
plants of partisanship in the
census b0reau. The report quotes
the civil service reform plank
of the last republican platform and de-
clares that if any branch Of the service
should have been kept free from party
controversy it was the census bureau.
The report then gives in detail com
plants from cities and towns in every
portion of the country to show that
the work of the men appointed, as
claimed, simply to reward them
for political PURPOSES, is thoroughly
Enthusiastically an that the returns in
many eases are ,oiored by partisan
bias. In conclusion the committee ex-
presses its belief that no census will
hereafter receive the confidence of the
people until it has been wholly re-
moved from partisan influences, and it
trusts that in the future such success
full examples as have already been
made of the merit system will be fol-
lowed in all fed eral eRumerations.

RECIPROCITY WITH MEXICO.
The Negotiations Now Under way Greatly
Limited in Their Scope.

Limited An Their scope.
SAN ANTONIO. Tex, Sept 80 A dis
patch received from the City of Mexico
says that the scope of the negotiations
intrusted TO Jose j. Limautour. as Mex
lean commissioner to treat with United
States Minister Ryan on reciprocity,
is strictly limited to the provision
of the American tariff law in its
third section. The question to be dis
cussed is simply what compensation
can Mexico give to the United States
for the free admission of her sugar,
coffee and hides The question of the
admission of Mexican lead ores into
the United States free of duties is,
therefore, shut out. much 10 the dis
appointment of American smelters on
this side of the Rio Grande. There is
no pretense OF negotiating full
reciprocity treaty, at least at present.
