COMMISSION SUMMONED.
Civil Service EtuIcs to BE Questioned
In Court.

A'
WASHINGTON. May 15.-Letter Car
rier George T. Pulaski. who was ousted
from his position on the city p~ostofice
force by a technicality of the civil SER
vice commission rules. will make that
body acconnt fo- its action to the court.
Judge Bradley has issued an order di-
recting the commission and Postmaster
Sherwood to show cause why Mr.. Pu-
Task; should not be reinstated. This
order wa signed upon the application
of Mr.. Fl. r. Ball, who represents
the letter carrier as attorney and
who presented for him a petition
for a mandamus. The civil service COM
missioners, II ,ssrs. Lyman. Roosevelt,
Johnson and Postmaster Sherwood are
to appear before Judge Bradley Satur-
day, MAY 20. If Mr.. Pulaski is success
full a mandamus will be signed COM
polling these officials to reinstate him.
The legal points involved are interest
ing ones, which may be carried mp to
the supreme court of the United States.
Red tape is interviewer with the whole
affair, and its power to deprive a man
of his rights is beautifully illustrated.
Postmaster Sherwood neglected to
report the appointment of Pulaski to
the civil service commission within
three days. as required by the rules OF
that body. Consequently the commits
sion takes the stand that the letter car
rier cannoi hold the place, although he
has passei the examination, filed his
bond for the faithful performance OF
his duty and filed every requirement OF
the law. His attorney takes the posi-
ton that a rule which may act to de-
prive a citizen OF his rights must be
null, and that this particular regulation
is unreasonable in itself.

Nearly a year ago it will be remem-
hered that a DAILY LEADER reporter re1
ferred to having seen F q. LEM, the
great bicyclist, between Milbank end
Aberdeen on his tour around the world.
Lately he has been passing through
China and the way a bicycle rider is re-
garded in the Flowery Kingdom will be
gathered from recent San Francisco
,advices: "Lenz reached Ichang On March
% In a demoralized condition, with his
wheel and camera badly battered. 1t
was near Shashi that he struck a gang of
laborers, who raised the shout, skill the
foreign devil" LEM was resting, and
before he could start they thrust hoe
handles into the spokes of his wheel and
beat the soldier who had accompanied
HIM as a guard. LEM freed his wheel
and rode for dear life, but was headed
off and ~savagely attacked by a mob Of
farm laborers- One aimed a blow al
Lenz's head with a heavy hoe, which
would have cloven his skull, but he
lodged and received it on his neck anc
knapsack. It knocked him down, how
ever, and then he was cruelty beaten ane
pelted with stones. He finally reached
some better dressed Chinese, who pro
tected him for a moment. Though ii
deadly peril, LEM began to amuse thu
crowd with tricks on the wheel, and 500
WOE them over 10 they allowed him +
proceed unmolested. But for his her
and GOODNESS he would have been killed
as the superstitious Chinese really too
him for a devil as he few along on hi
wheel. At Ichang the blacksmith on til
British gunboat Esk repaired his b
cycle"

DUN's REVIEW.
Smas in Industrial shares Causes
but Little Disturbance.

smash in Industrial shares Causes
but Little Disturbances.
NEW York. May 15.-R. G.. Dun 81
Co.'S Weekly Review Of Trade says:
The smash in industrial stocks a week
ago, the failure of some of the firms and
OF the National Cordage company and
the largest decline in stocks known in
any week since 1875 have been followed
by surprisingly little disturbance.
Business has shown remarkable sound
ness under such a strain, although
bearish rumors are naturally frequent.
Bank failures at Chicago and Indianapo-
lis and a rumor of c ers reflect large
losses in speculative I .cles of real es-
tate and grain, and at Indianapolis
through the failure of firms at indiana
apolis. There is more buying of stock
than a week ago, and while foreign ex-
change has risen above the banking
rate no reduction has resulted in ship
ments as banking houses expect larger
exports of products soon.

DENOUNCE THE ACTION.
National Commissioners Kick on the
Sunday Opening Resolution.

National Commissioners Kick on the
Sunday Opening Resolution.
WORLDS FAIR GROUNDS. May 10
Members o. the national commission
arrived at jackson park earlier than
usual on account of the radical move
taken by the exposition directors in re-
gard to the opening of the gates on
Sunday. The commissioners have
thoroughly understood the. sentiment
of the directors ON the Sunday closing
question and for a long time have sus-
pected that the local authorities
would take the action they did
Friday. The general opinion, how
ever. among the commissioners
was that the vexatious question which
is dividing the people of the United
States would be allowed to slumber
until the next session of the commits
sion. That body voted to take a ces
until May 81. after adjournment for the
day, but the gentlemen who are here to
carry out the will of congress are con
siderably exercised over what they term
the defiant attitude of the Chicago
directory. and there is a disposition
among the commissioners to continue
in session with or without a quorum, SO
as to deal with the Sunday opening.
Influential members of that body talked
of issuing urgent telegraphic summons
to every absentee to come here at once.
The more i~mpulsive commissioners who
have been at loggerheads with the Chi
| cago authorities ever since that body
| first met, threatened to obliterate the
| Sunday opening resolution, but the
legal advisers of the local management
are unanimously Of the opinion that
the law of congress gives the national
commission the right only to modify
such rules as emanate from the direc-
tory but neither to create new rules nor
obliterate those adopted by the directory
and submitted to the commission for
modification or approval. On that issue
the line of battle will be drawn.
Referred to Judiciary Committee.
The action of the local directory il
determining to open the gates OF the
worlds fair on Sunday was officially
announced to the national commission
at its meetingi in a communication from
the directory. enclosing a resolution
which was adopted by them, ordering
gates of the fair to be opened May q
Mr.. Burton Of Kansas moved that
the communication be referred to the
judiciary committee and that the mem
bers of this commission be notified By
telegraph that their presence is de
manded here at once TO solve one of tn,
most important questions that has pre-
sented itself.
Commissioner st. Clair of West ,vir
GINA thought the matter should receiv'
legal attention and recommended tina
no action be taken in the mater unit
the commission had more member
present.
1t was finally agreed that the resolu
ton should be sent to the judiciar
committee, and it was SO ordered, til
committee instructed to report progress
at 2 o'clock.

treatment he received at the Copeland Medi-
cal Institute i'll the Pioneer Press building
Mr.. Green has been a resident of St Paul
most of the time for a quarter of Il century,
and is well known. He is a carpenter by
trade. Mr.. Green says he has suffered from
catarrh for many years, which finally extend
ed to his lungs. Then the trouble manifested
itself in violent case of asthma. Wheeling
noises were present in his lungs all the time,
and in the morning hours he would have
violent fits of coughing and great difficulty
in breathing. These spells always left him
greatly prosirated. Failing TO get any relief
from the doctors he consulted, Mr.. Green
says he went to California but when;
soon made its appearance again A few
months ago he began treatment for his
catarrn and asthma with the Copeland physi-
clans, and this is what he now says: my
asthma has gone entirely and nv catarrh is
greatly improved
