He May Linger for IA Few Weeks or BE
Called Away Any Hour.

Called Away Any Hour.
The President and the members Of his house.
hold are very much depressed in spirits at the
condition of DR.. Scott, the Presidents vener-
able father-in-law, as they sadly realize that
be may be called away at any hour.
His advanced age is greatly against his
chances Of recovery and he has had several
sinking spells of late. which have made severe
drains on his naturally low vitality. He suffered
a severe relapse last night, from which
IL was feared he might not recover. but
be slowly but steadily improved and the
danger of collapse temporarily averted.
He is now very feeble and in no condition to
Withstand another attack. He is receiving the
best care and attention that medical skill and
loving hands can give. notwithstanding which
the practiced eve OF the physician
discloses steady decline in his condition. He
has informed the President that while the pa
tient may linger for few weeks he is liable to
pass away at anv time should there be u recur-
renee Of the sinking spells.
DIR. Scott has never fully recovered from the
shock caused by the death of his daughter and
the fRtigue incident TO the journey to Indianap-
oils to attend her funeral, and il was while he
was in this low state of melancholy that he took
the disease which is now slowly sapping his life
away.
1t is said at the White House this afternoon
that DIR. Scott is considerably better today, his
condition showing an appreciable improvement
over Yesterday.

TO SUCCEED MIR. DOUGLASS,

Some Names Suggested to the President for
the District Commissionership.
The expiration Of the term Of Office Of Com
missioner Douglass, which occurs in December
and the possibility of the appointment of a
successor by President Harrison has aroused
some interest among business men of the city.
Several names Of likely candidates for the DO.
sition. If it is vacated, have been sub.
mitted to the President by prominent
District people who have friends they would
hike to see at the head of the board Of Com
missioners. Mr.. John Joy Edison has been put
forward prominently in this connection. His
Endorsements are said to comprise many prom
nent names. Mr.. A. P. Pardon, well known
in real estate circles. has been proposed and is
strongly backed. Mr.. W. s. Odell has the q.
A. r. behind him. Chief Clerk Childs Of the
census Office is proposed.
The President has not yet indicated what
action, if any, he will take upon the expiration
of Mr.. Douglass term.
There is possibility that he may not make
any appointments at the expiration Of the
terms of the civil Commissioners, but leave the
present board to hold over until Cleve-
land comes in, thus permitting the latter
to shape the board at his pleasure at the out
set of bis administration without any restric-
ton or embarrassment whatever. The present
prospects favor this solution of the question.

MIR. BLAINE MAY GO AWAY.
A Trip to California Planned for the Benefi
of His Health.


of His Health.
Although the family and the physicians Of
Mr.. Blaine positively i.iat there is nothing
in his condition to warrant the exaggerated
rumors of his illness, his indisposition is still
the subject OF considerable discussion. At the
Blaine residence all callers who inquired after
his health today were informed by the attend
dant that ''Mr. Blaine is very much better this
morning.
1t is said that the reticence shown on the part
OF the family to give any further information
is due TO the personal request Of Mr.. Blaine.
The family have been seriously considering the
plan of removing Mr.. Blaine to some
practically decided that as soon as Mr..
Blaine is able he will leave Washington and
take up his residence, at least for time in
which he has experienced in this city. The
weather here is irritating to his bronchial
trouble. and the doctor in charge finds
great difficulty in effecting cure. Mr..
Blaine's present condition is such that, in view
of complications which may arise at any time.
he deems it best TO seek climate that Will do
for him what medical skill does not appear to
do here.
1t is understood that Pasadena Cal has been
selected the most suitable place for a resi-
dence and that Mr.. Blaine and his family will
go there early next month, starting about the
LIST proximo and travelling by easy stage through
the south and west by way of the Southern Pa
citic. There appears TO be no good reason for
any alarm in the case Of the disting lished in

CLERKS AND CIVIL SERVICE.
Gen. Rosecrans Favors the Efficiency Recort
system.

Gen. Rosecrans Fsvors the Efficiency Record
Gen. Rosecrans has submitted his annual re-
port Of the operations of the registers Office OF
the Treasury Department On the question Of
civil service Gen. Rosecrans strongly fayors
the system of rating each clerks standing by a
monthly record Of efficiency provided by the
Presidents order of December 4, 1891.
He says: Competitive examinations for pro-
motion. as conducted in the two or three held
IN this bureau, have given very unsatisfactory
results. The public service does not, as prime
qualities, demand that employees should be
quick-witted. of all-around intelligence. able to
give pedagogic instruction on department and
general matters. 1t requires efficient clerical
service. Therefore the monthly records Of
efficiency are greatly superior to the haphazard
results Of the competitive examination. which
commanded no respect Of chiefs or subordi-
mates in this Office.
But this record of efficiency only counts for
20 per cent, while the competitive results count
so per cent, in spite of all their defects, from
chances of comparative inequality Of opportun-
ity sometimes occasioned by length of
service and Of exclusive attention TO office work
1t would be vastly better for the service and
the competitive examination to reverse
their ratios and make the efficiency record
count 80 per cent and the results Of the exam
inataon to count 20 per cent. In any event
proper provision for the exercise of the best

In the matter OF promotions should be made.

THE ANTI-OPTIoN BILL.
A Plan said to Have Been Made to Talk II

The opponents of the anti-option bill are de-
termined this measure shall not become a law
and strong force has been organized to de-
feat it. Very influential opposition to this
proposed legislation exists in New York, CHI
cago, Milwaukee, New Orleans and other large
cities, and it is understood that a delegation
from each of these places will be here TO use
their influence in preventing the pas
sage of the bill The fight will be
almost entirely confined to the Senate
and those who led the opposition last session
Senators White of Louisiana, Wolcott of Col
orado and Hiscock of New York-will probably
take the foremost steps to kill it. The tactics
10 be pursued, it is stated. will be the same as
that adopted last session. An attempt will be
made to talk the measure to DEATH and il is re-
ported that long speeches with this end in view
have already been prepared 1t is said that
Vice President Morton will not consent TO the
adoption Of a cloture rule and unless this is
done there seems TO be no method Of closing
the debate and bringing the bill TO a vote.
