CHIEFS OF DIVISIONS NEXT.
The Civil Service Law Likely to Be Ex-
tended to Important Positions.

The Civil Service Law Likely to Be Ex-
tended to Important Positions.
WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-The intima-
ton by the civil service commission,
in announcing the recent extensions
in the civil service by the president,
that further extensions were to be
made at an early date, has been dis
cussed in the departments and among
officials, and it is said the next
extension will include chiefs of
divisions in the various depart
ments. The salaries paid to
these officers are 50, 900 each.
They have always been held as po-
litical plums for the smaller poll
ticians who seek offices in Washing
ton, and it is claimed that oftentimes
they are appointed without anv fit
ness whatever for the positions they
hold. In many cases the assistant
chiefs do all the business of division
during the entire administration.
Sometimes it has been suggested that
these assistants be promoted but they
generally decline because they fear
new administration might dispense
with them and they would be out of
a position. If the civil service sys-
TEN should be extended to chiefs of
divisions it will certainly be of great
Importance to the service and accom-
plish what the commission has long
contended for.

REPUBLICANS HAVE UPWARD

CAPTURE ALL THE CONGRESSMAN.
The Legislature Is Also Theirs, and Will
Elect Republican Successor to Sena-
tor John Martin-The Suffrage
Amendment Probably Defeated
The Congressional Vote
by Districts.

TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. S.-The Repub-
hcans have carried Kansas by a plu-
rality OF about $4,000 and probably
have slight majority over ell.
Republican Chairman Leland claims
also the election of the congressman
in the seven districts by pluralities or
majorities as follows:
First district-Case Broierick, 4,O9O.
Second district-0. L. Miller, 5000
Third districts. S. Kirkpatrick
1,5OO.
Fourth district-Charles Curtis,
5000.
Fifth district-W. A. Calderhea6,
1,2OO.
Sixth district-A. II. Ellis, 1000
Seventh district-Cbester l. Long,
1000.
These figures are, however, based
on estimates, and the official returns
may materially change them and pos
sibly reverse some of them.
Chairman Leland also claims gains
OF twenty-five Legislative districts in
the following counties; Meade, Clark,
Barton, Cloud, Graham, Crawford,
Dickinson, Linn, Ellsworth, Geary.
kingman, Leavenworth, Nemaha
Neosho, Usage, Ottawa, Rice, Saline,
Sedgwick, Washington, Summer (2),
Wabaunsee and Wyandotte (2). He
looks for gains in other counties. He
admits the loss of Greeley and prob
ably Ness and Rush, which gave the
Republicans net legislative gain so
far as he has heard of twenty-five
members, which added to the sixty
live Republicans in the last house will
make Republican strength of eiph.
ty-seven or majority of twenty -four.
Leland has no doubt that the Republi.
cans will have total membership of
lO2' counting the fifteen Republican
senator's, in the joint session of the
legislature insurfng the election of a
Republican United States senator, to
succeed John Martin, Democrat, and
a Republican state printer to succeed
&. ii. Snow, Populist.
At noon Breidenthal prac tically
gave up the fight. He said he could
get no returns from his people, which
was an indication that the Repub-
licanS had carried the state. He said
the Populist defeat was due to the
failure of the labor and German vote
to stand by the ticket. He admitted
that the Republicans would have over
100 votes in the joint session of the
legislature.
No satisfactory returns have been
received from the vote on the woman
suffrage amendment The politicians
think the proposition has been de-
teated, but say the vote is so close
that more accurate information than
is now at hand is needed to decide.

ARTISTIC PAPER MONEY.
Engraving Chief johnson Submits Some
New Ideas In His Annual Report.


WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-Claude NJ.
Johnson, chief of the bureau of en-
craving and printing, in his annual
report to the treasury, discussing the
printing of bank notes, says: "Artis-
tic skill applicable to the production
OF bank notes, bonds, etc, has not ad-
vanced with the times Bank notes
prepared twenty five years ago are
as finely engraved as those Of to-day.
The bank notes produced by this
bureau and by the bank note CON-
panies of the country appear to have
reached the highest standard of en-
craving and printing but the designs,
as rule, are weak and meaningless.
The conventional design for bank
notes, which has been used for many
years, appears to be wholly hacking
in artistic merit, consisting, as it does,
OF patchwork of engraving includ-
ing a portrait, the title and
lathe work counters, having no con-
nection with each other, and a vast
Improvement can be made in design
ing the future issues of the govern
ment | consider the artistic beauty
OF design for a bank note to be an
essential to protection against coun-
terfeiting as the manner in which
either the engraving or printing is
executed. In fact they must all be
of the highest standard of excellence
to afford perfect protection. To at
tain this standard of excellence l
have secured the services of some of
the best engravers and printers and
have received aid from some of the
most talented artists in the country
in preparing designs for a new issue
OF silver certificates and the result,
in my opinion, will not only be a cred
liable work from an artistic stand
point, but series of notes which
Will be beyond the skill of counter
feiters to initiate in a way to be at
all dangerous to commerce. Such
talent commands high price and it
is an item of expense which should
have consideration in the making of
appropriations for this bureau"

Hill went to find a justice of the

the usual questions were answered.

signed, thinking it was genuine. The

Not Democrat Returned to Congress
From That State.
CHARLESTON, W. Va, Nov s.-Last
night the Democrats conceded the
First and Fourth districts to the Re-
publican candidates-Dovener and
Howard. To-day's advice from Logan
county, the Democratic stronghold,
showed such falling off in the Demo-
cratic vote that Anderson, Democratic
candidate for congress, barely carried
the county. The Democratic mana
gers then conceded the election of
Huttig, Republican, in the Third dis
trict by decisive plurality. Wilson
is defeated by about 1000, making
the delegation solidly Republican.

DENVER, Col, Nov. S.-With the Re-

yet to be heard from, the majority
for McIntire, Republican, for gov
ernor, over Waite, Popul;st, is 5000.
The returns for the state outside of
Denver are very meager, but those so
far received indicate the election of
Mclntire and the entire Republican
state ticket by from $4,000 to 20, 900
plurality. The Republicans claim to
have carried even Cripple Creek dis
trict, which was expected to give a
large majority for Waite.
No returns have yet been re-
ceived as to the legislature, but it
will probably be Republican by a

Republican, is elected to congress in
the Fifth district over Congressman

the Second district, with Congressman

CHICAGO, Nov. S.-The returns to-
day showed remarkable gains for the
Republican ticket. On the state
ticket headed by Wulff for treasurer,
the indications are for a Republican
plurality of close to 100000. Every
man on the Republican county ticket
is elected by pluralities ranging from
$4,000 to $4,000. The state legislature
is Republican by perhaps twenty, in
surfing a Republican successor to
United States Senator Cullom.

NEW ENGLAND'S BLIZZARD.

BosToN. Nov. "a terrific storm
has ragged Tuesday and yesterday all
over New England. It's severity was
only equalled by the great blizzard
of 1888. Reports from various points
indicate disasters to shipping and
great destruction of property.
In this city the streets are strewn
with wrecked telephone and tele-
graph wires. These crossed and
twisted wires were a menace to life,
and destructive fires were threatened
in many places. Many horses trod on
live" wires and were shocked to
death by electricity.

streets and from buildings, endanger-
ing lives. Along the coast line ire
mendous sea roared and the raging
waters broke into the lower harbor.
Reports from Vineyard Haven and
Portsmouth tell of fleets which mar
rowly escaped destruction by taking
refuge in places of shelter. The
warning of the weather bureau had
given time for most of the vessels to
seek safe harbor. Anxiety is felt
for the safety of shipping. The
schooner Ida Southland of New York,
from Philadelphia for New Orleans,
is missing and it is feared she is lost.
AT Salem the telegraph wires are all
wrecked and the fremen have been
called out repeatedly by false alarms
caused by broken wires. All East
ern trains are delayed. The snow
has fallen to depth of six inches.
