And So Is CONTRARY to the Provisions
of the Civil Service Law.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 1.-THE United
States Civil Service to-day made public a
statement relative to blankbook purport-
ing to have been sent out by the Republican
State Committee to the Postmaster at Whit
ney, Mich, which had been brought to their
attention. 1t requests the Postmaster to
canvass the patrons of his Office as to their
former and present politics and as to the
papers they take, together with recommen-
dations as TO what papers should be sent
them.
The Postmaster Is further informed that
he Is expected to consult prominent Repub-
cans in his locality as TO the work, but that
he must keep his lahors from becoming pub
lie. The statement says the commission has
also received information that requests of
this kind have been made by political conf
mittees, not only in Michigan, but elsewhere.
Services of the kind requested" says the
statement. "are clearly political services.
and to render them is contrary to the postal
regulations. With this, however, the CON-
mission has nothing to do. but ii feels that
ii is in duty bound to inform all Postmasters
and all other public employees, in Michigan
or elsewhere, that the civil service law ex-
pressly provides that no person in the pub
lie service is under any Obligations to render
any political service"

Testing the Constltutionaiityo of Cho oosi In e

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.-Arguments in
the case TO test the eons.itutionalty Of the
Michigan law providing for the choice of
Presidential electors by Congressional di g.
tricts, which came up on appeal from the
Michigan Supreme Court, began in the
Uniied States Supreme Court to-day. The
political aspect of the case is very pro-
nounced, as it Is admitted, il the law is sus-
tanned, il will give part of Mlchigsn's cleo
toTal vote to the Democrats. Attorney
General Miller appeared as one Of the coun-
sci on the Republican side.
In the argument against the law Henry
NJ. Duffield relied principally upon the CON-
tentiOn that the Minor act is 10 violation of
the fourteenth amendment to the eonstitu-
tioD.
Messrs. Champlin and Kirschner, In argu-
ing for law, raised as the first point the
question of jurisdiction, declaring that the
form In which the case came up is not re-
viewable in the Federal court, but only In
the State court
Attorney General Miller said it was one
of the most hopeful signs OF the times that
the courts are being aroused To the fact that
if the rights of the people are to be pre-
served they must be preserved by the OBJ
seryanee and enforcement of the law.

The Charleston's Aishap Likely to Have
Grave Consequences.
Los ANGELES, Oct. 1.-THE sudden de-
parture of the Charleston, Baltimore and
San Francisco from Rsdondo to-day has
caused a great deal of dissatisfaction, as 1t
had been fully anticipated that the white
squadron would rendezvous on the coast for
some weeks at least.
There is a very general impression that
the mishap to the Charleston at Ballast
Point should have been yestigated.
1t is positively known that the Charles
ton bent several propeller blades very
badly besides scoring her sides when she
struck on the rock at the entrance to San
Diego Bay week ago. 1t is considered
that very grave responsibility will rest on
some one if the Charleston should meet with
bad weather and anything should happen
to her. No official report seems to have
been made Of the accident referred to, and
it is even stated that the greatest care was
taken TO prevent the news from leaking out.
The cruisers will make their first call at
MaZatlan.

eggs and beef tea. which is so important an
element in keeping up her strength. is now
taken in smaller quantities. She rests
quietly, as rule, and sleeps much of the
time, but awakes exhausted instead Of re-
freshed. Her cough, which was quite dis
tressing at times. has ceased, but this Is re-
garded as an unfsvorable sign. The disease
is progressing more rapidly. and the left
lung is now involved. Tonight Mrs. II ar

of Hudson River could be obtained Un-
derneath the grassy slopes, below on the
railroad tracks, thousands OF people stood
and watched and waited, while others
sought seats on freightcars that gave them

When the vanguard of the parade finally

reached the highest pitch. Almost every

were Ieveled essantly at the ships as they
RIjded upstream among the booming OF can
