Southern States Have Not Their Quota of
Government Employees.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Ia the last ap-
preparation bill providing for the blue
book which gives the list # persons hold
ing positions III the differcrf departments.
a provision was enacted rcqpiring that the
number of employs by states he furnished.
This provision has been carried out i'm the
book just published. Representative
Houck of Tennessee, has made n compare
son 'of these figures with the census of
1890, showing the number of offices each
state would be entitled to according TO
the population.
His object is TO show that many states.
the south in particular. has not a just pro-
portion. His figu res show that the states
of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida. Georgia,
Kentucky. Louisiana. Mississippi. North
Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Tex
as and Virginia, have but 2,54J per-
sons in Office, about 500 less than the Dis
trict OF Columbia. Mr.. Houck thinks the
civil service commission should make no
more certificates from states which have a
full quota, and that those which have
more than their share should be speedily
| reduced.

Practical Joker Puts UP Job on this
London Police.
LoNDoN, March IA email tin with g
partly burned fuse was found on WIN
dow sill of the Bow street police station.
After many precautions it was opened
and found to contain cartridge filled
with an explosive OF some sort. The
police take the matter very gravely, but
there are strong suspicious that Aome
practical joker has been amusing him
self at their expense.
AS anticipated, the alleged bomb
found in Bow street this morning turns
out TO have been nearly harmless. The
tin canister discovered BY the police
only contained. it is now announced, a
blank cartridge covered over with a
quantity OF sand and having fuse
attached to it. 1t is thought the
police officials will finally DO COM
PEELED to admit that they had not
discovered a dynamite plot. They still
insist such plot may he in existence
and express the belief that the tin box
and cartridges found today ware in
tended as a threat upon the part of
anarchists, who took this means OF in
forming the police OF their danger. In
spite OF the police theory, the general
opinion is the police have been made
tine victims OF practical joke.
