CIVIL SERVICE RULES.
Cabinet Officers Are Becoming Heart
lily Disguised with Them.
Confidential Letter Stolen and Printe,
in Republican Paper May Cause a
Suspension of the Rules.

WASHINGTON. June 3d. Especial. J.
Several of the cabinet officers are becom-
ing heartily disguised with the present
civil service regulations, and it is learned
on good authority that they are using
their influence to induce the president to
suspend, as he has the right to do, the
regulations so that the responsible heads
OF departments can get rid of some of the
old barnacles who have become so soaked
with Republicanism that they naturally
work against the party now holding the
reins OF government.
One of the cabinet officers not long
since received letter from a senator in
which there were important secrets, and
the first thing they knew the letter was
printed verbatim in red hot Republican
paper. The cabinet officer did not give it
out, and he thinks and believes that some
Republican clerk, who is close to him be-
cause of the civil service regulations, act
ually stole a copy of the letter and gave it
to the representative of the Republican
newspaper. He says that sort of thing
must stop.
He wants the president to suspend the
regulations until the heads of the depart
ments can surround themselves with 6
few confidential Democrats at least. Pres
ident Harrison worked the plan long
enough to remove almost every Democrat
who was appointed under the first Cleve
land administration.
1t is said that President Cleveland i.
worked up on the subject since he has
heard OF the stolen letter, and within the
past few days the civil service commits
sioners have been before some of the cab
met officers with view of remedying tn,
embarrassing situation.

CAUSE OF THE DISASTER.
Theories Advanced by Lord George Ham
iIton and Others.


LONDON, June 23.-An interview was
had today with Lord George Hamilton to
ascertain his views as to the disaster. He
said without doubt the Camperdowns ram
cut away the plating on the Victoria out
side of several OF her transverse bulk
heads. Had this not been the case the
bulkheads could have been closed, and
the water kept in one or in the most two
compartments, and the vessel would still
have fioated.
| An interview was also had with Right
Honorable Arthur Bower Forwood, the
well-known shipowner who was formerly
secretary to the admiralty. He said
s'it is a wonder that such an accident had
not occurred before. The Victoria had a
longitudinal bulkhead running through
her, besides a number running across
ship. She was thus divided into COM
partments on each side of her Longitude
nal bulkheads, without communication
between them.
"The Camperdown probably struck the
Victoria a ripping blows opening the
plates over several of her compartments
Water was then admitted into a number
of compartments on one side of the ship
causing her to capsize by the greai
weight. A longitudinal bulkhead was
good thing in its way, but it did mo-
| seem to avert the disaster. -

PACIFIC BANK CLOSED.
A San Francisco Institution Failure That
Caused No Surprise.

A San Francisco Institution Failure That
Caused No Surprise.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 23.-In conse-
ouence of the notice from the clearing
house, that it's paper would not be ac-
cepted hereafter, the directors of the Pa
cific bank decided not to open the doors
in the morning. 1t has been known for
some time that the bank was laboring
under financial difficulties, so the failure
is not great surprise.
The bank has capital OF million dol
lars. The nominal reserve is 500, 600 and
the deposits 81 GOO, 600. 1t is expected
that the depositors will lose nothing.
Manager Mcdonald says the bank will
resume in short time, having suspended
merely to realize on the assets and pre-
vent run.
The failure also involved the People,
Home Savings bank, a collateral institu-
ton, under practically the same manage
ment, with a capitabof 81 600, 600 and de-
posts amounting to 81, 700, goo. This in
stitution closed its doors also.
| The other banks in the city are finan-
cially strong and it is not believed that
any runs will be inaugurated as result
of the suspension of the Pacific bank.

NEWS Ar WASHINGTON.
The Sinking of the Victoria Causes a
Profound Sensation.

1rO1OuDQ ScnSatlOn.
WASHINGTON, June 23.-News of the
sinking of H M ship Victoria, caused a
profound sensation at the navy depart
ment here. People who saw the beauti-
full and stately Blake, the flagship of the
British squadron, at the naval review,
thought she was a great ship, but she
was of secondary Importance when COM
pared with the Inflated Victoria. for
while the Blake was a large armored
cruiser, the Victoria was q full fiedged
battle ship OF nearly 600 tons larger than
the Blake. She bore about the same re-
lation to the Blake that our new battle
ships, Indiana and Oregon, do to the
armored cruiser New York.
The Camperdown which dealt the fatal
blow was about the same size as the VIC
toria. She resembles the United States
steamer Charleston in general APP
pearance, though twice as large.
Naval officers here feel that one
result of the catastrophe will be
to emphasize in striking manner the
terrible efficiency of the ram as weapon
of naval offence, for although there was no
intention of offence in this case when it is
presumed the ships were engaged in
simple maneouvers, its availability in time
of war has been amply demonstrated.

INHUMAN TREATMENT.

a shipwrecked Crew Treated Outrage
ously at Sitka.
NEW BEDFORD, Mass. June 23.-Three
officers on the wrecked whaling bark
Sea Ranger, arrived at this port today
from Port Townsend, WASH, by rail.
One of them, John Rogers of this city,
saws he has been shipwrecked three
times, but never before met with such
outrageous treatment by white men as he
and the crew of the Sea Ranger
met with at Sitka, Alaska. When
the thirty-six men reached Sitka
they had nothing but what
they carried on their backs. The author
tiles at Sitka could do nothing for them
as they wanted food not money. There
were in the harbor at Sitka three United
States cutters and two American men Of
war, the Mohican and the Ranger.
Captain Foley of the Ranger saw Cap
tain Ludlow of the Mohican and implOred
him to do something for the men in pro-
curing food anc other necessities. He
| told Captain Foley that he could not
keep US and told him to draw on the
owner of the Sea Ranger. Captain Foley
| by signing for $50 worth of rations for
one week for the crew was able to keep
the men from starvation.
| The steamer City of Topeka, from Port
Townsend, arrived at Sitka on June 10.
The captain refused to take them to Port
Townsend, as they had no money to pay
passage. The men became desperate and
began plan to do some outrage in order
| to get in jail, where they would at least
get something to eat and shelter. Cap
tain Ludlow was again asked for aid, but
would do nothing without pay.
Captain Foley pawned the ships cro-
nometer and managed to get enough
money to take himself, five officers and
son to Port Townsend on the City OF
Topeka. The remainder of the crew were
left at Sitka.
The night before leaving Captain Foley
asked Captain Ludlow, of the Mohican,
for food for the men he was obliged to
leave behind, but was refused. Captain
Foley, Rogers says, has reported the
matter to the authorities at Washington.

That Is the Opinion of Secretary Morton
Told in an Interview.
WASHINGTON, June 23.-The Star this
evening has long interview with Secre-
tary j. Sterling Morton, on the subject of
Populist agitation and the financial ques-
ton in politics. The secretary expresses
the opinion that the Populist party is dis
integrating, and the Democratic party
being committed to policies not in accord
with the teachings of Populists, cannot
have an alliance with them. The secre-
tary said he did not know whether or not
the advocates of repeal of the Sherman
law would have to accept compromise.
He hoped for repeal law, and saw NO
objection to repeal ten per cent. tax on
state banks, as it compromised with those
who want more currency.
81 think the farmers are beginning to
realize that they are being required to
exchange the products of produce at the
cost of great labor for produce costing
much less labor and possessing heretofore
less intrinsic value.''
