CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
Cleveland's Pretensions as Carried Out by
Carlisle.

WASHINGTON, May 24.-Another case
which illustrates the way things are going
in the Treasury Department is that of
Capt. A. F. Mcmillan, who has resigned
under compulsion his place as deputy
first auditor. He has been in the Treas
ury Department and in the first auditors S
office continuously for more than 27
years. Every one, regardless of politics,
who has served with him speaks we'll of
his work. His industry may be judged
by the fact that he has been absent only
sixteen days in the last seven years. He
has gift for despatching business. Mr.
Mcmillan is no longer young man. He
served from the very outbreak of the
civil war till the hour Of its close, enter
ing the Union army as private in the
volunteers and quitting it a captain by
successive promotions in the field. Some
months afterwards he came to Washing
ton from his home in Michigan as a
temporary clerk, at time when the
treasury was swamped by the multitude
of accumulated accounts to be audited
and settled. He expected to stay two
years and then go home. He doubtless
wishes now that he had adhered to his
original programmes; but he probably did
not look forward tc day when the rule
at the Treasury Department would be
that long and faithful service was a dis
qualification for further continuance in
office.
Mr.. Mcmillan is Republican in mis-
sympathies. In the years that have in
tervened since his arrival in Washington
he has had no political backing, because
he became citizen of the District of
Columbia and stuck at his work instead
of going home to vote. Nevertheless he
has received promotion after promotion,
till the last Cleveland administration, on
coming into control at the Treasury,
found him a Chief of Division.
Secretary Manning asked for his
resignation and received it; but
the Democratic First Auditor,
a party man of the most ultra variety,
put in so vigorous protest against the
removal of an invaluable assistant that
the resignation was given back. When
the Harrison administration came in, he
was raised from chief of division to dep
uty auditor, and this was recognized as
one of the good things done in the line of
civil service reform. Now he goes out,
a poor man, to begin life anew, at time
when most men in private occupations
are beginning to think about closing up
their active affairs and enjoying them
selves on their incomes.

CALL HER A-OO-LAL-E-A.

The First Lesson in Spanish Taken by the
Cleveland Cabinet.
WASHINGTON, May 23.-It has become
known in administration circles that the
proper way to pronounce the name of
the Infanta Eulalie, is to address her as
'Your Royal Highness the Princesse A
oo-lal-e-a."
Every member of the Democratic Cabi-
net has had a Spanish grammar on his
desk all day, and at the Cabinet meeting
yesterday, amid great deal of
laughter, there was an earnest
endeavor to improve upon their
American pronunciation of Span
ish. AS a matter of fact the Spanish In
fanta knows more English than all the
American Cabinet combined knows of
Spanish, but she cannot fail to appreci-
ate the effort made to entertain her.
An amusing afterpiece to the dismal
entrance of the Infanta to the National
Capital on Friday become public today,
when Secretary of War Lamont formally
referred to the commissioners of the dis
trict the complaint of Col. Guy V. Hen
ry, commanding the cavalry, of the con-
duct of the gripmen of the cable cars
who persisted in running through the
lines of the cavalrymen. Capt. Bell,
who makes the formal complaint to Col.
Henry, tells in deep indignation of the
mad swoop of the cars on his warriors.
thereby endangering," he says, 'the
lives of the men and horses, who only
escaped injury by breaking away and
fleeing rapidly"
He thinks, s'it is positive disgrace to
the national capital that on occasions of
ceremony no respect is paid to troops or
persons by the gripmen or conductors"

SIR CHARLES AND Mr.. CARTER.
They Continue to Make the Behring Sea
Arbitration InferAstinp

They Continue to Make the Behring Sea
Arbitration Interesting.
PARIS, May 24.-Sir Charles Russell
continued his argument in behalf of the
British case today before the Behring
Sea tribunal of arbitration. He said that
before the Pribyloff islands were discov-
cred, Pelagic sealing had been exercised.
The discovery and ownership of those
islands could not destroy the previous
right of mankind. Sir Charles reproach-
ed Mr.. Carter, of the American counsel.
with having argued on metaphysics and
ethics, instead of law. He refuted the
contention that the killing of female seals
was wrong. No law, Sir Charles said,
supported such contention.
Mr.. Carter objected to the version of
his arguments used by Sir Charles for
the purpose of quotation, and warm
passage of words ensued between Mr..
Carter and Sir Charles. The latter ar
gued that MI. Carter's contention that it
was the duty of the United States to pre-
serve the seals for mankind and appro-
pirate the usufruct was only of academic
interest. Sir Charles quoted cases men
toned in the American argument to
prove there could be no right Of property
in the seals.
Sir Charles went into minute ANALYSIS
of the municipal law of France, England
and the United States respecting property
in wild animals, to prove that the law
could not be invoked in support of the
American claim to property in seals. 1t
lay on the United States, Sir Charles de-
clared, to prove that international law
laid down the principle that seals were
not ferae naturae, or that nations were
agreed to except seals from the common
right to take from the sea whatever was
found in the sea. The United States had
not proved, Sir Charles contendod, that
pelagic sealing; or even the slaughter of
gravid female seals, was an offence
against international law.
