WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-The first steps
in the direction of the investigation OF

For several days Col, W. S. Reese of
Alabama, who claims to have been

signed by State officials claiming to have

encounter at Wounded Knee. That the
japanese had excuse for what they did is
evident from the testimony of unpreju-
diced witnesses who are not given to sem
sationalism; the victorious troops were
merely men Of an ordinary type. moved by
human passions and excited over the bar
barous manner in which many of their
comrades had been done to death. 1t will
be noted that the cruelties practised by
the Chinese upon those of their enemies
who were unfortunate enough to become
prisoners Of war were inflicted with all
elaboration and had official sanction. The
sanguinary reprisals of the Japanese took
place in the presence of the hacked and
battered corpses of those who but a little
while before had been their comrades; ven
geance was taken when blood was heated
to that point where reason has but little
opportunity to assert itself. Taken alto
gether 1t was a horrible affair, but the
burden Of blame rests on the Chinese.

Wash. Cor. Boston Herald.
The hundreds of employees of the munich
pal government of the District of Columbia
are likely to be brought soon under civil
service rules. President Cleveland wants
TO extend the rules so as TO include them,
and would have done so before this, had
not a question been raised to his legal
authority in the premises, which he has
referred to Attorney General Olney for an
opinion. II the opinion holds that ne has
the power tC extend the civil service rules
over the District offices, he will exercise it,
He has been earnestly advised to do so ry
the present Commissioners of the District
and by the members of the civil service
commission, ard the proposed proposition
has the approval of all the ex-Commission-
ers of the District who have expressed
themselves, and of the leading citizens.
Tonight the Washington board of trade
representing every business and profess
sional interest, and comprehending the
leading citizens, by practically unanimous
vote cordially indorSed the proposed exte--
sion of civil service reform and appointed
a special committee to aid in securing it.
Since the November meeting of the board
the Civil Service Reform Association of the
District of Columbia, which originally sug
gested the matter. has seen to IL that it
was properly presented to every member
of the board of trade, and the Washington
Star and the Washington Times have pre-
sented the arguments for the extension and
demolished those advanced against it most
effec lively. The Star rendered especially
brilliant service.
Civil service reform was never before so
thoroughly discussed among resident WASH
ingtonians, and the action of the board Of
trade tonight, the meeting being largely
attended, and nobody advancing any serious
opposition to the resolution, is therefore
especially significant. If the extension is
made 1t will cover not only clerks, but all
the subordinate grades, and the Boston
system of examining and appointing labor
ers will probably be adopted.

newspaper that within the compare
lively brief period of six years moves In
daily circula ton from five thousand to
ninety thousand is fairly entitled to about
all the compliments that could reasonably
be paid it. The Philadelphia Inquirer did
that very thing, its great growth and finan-
cial prosperity commencing when 1t be-
came the property of Mr.. James EMERSON;
and. as evidence of success, the Inquirer is
now published from one of the finest of the
many hrst-class newspaper buildings in the
country. Mention of the opening cere-
monies has been made in The Star. The
souvenir edition of The Inquirer was re-
markable production, in every way worthy
of those who planned it and brought it
forth.

PEELED the victorious Japanese troops at
Port Arthur to indulge in fearful massacre
OF all the Cinnamon they came across
That there was much of unnecessary
slaughter is unfortunately evident but
when We remember the terrible brutality
the shocking mutilation, which inflamed
the Japanese mind then We must conclude
that the distressing lapse of the Japanese
was retriDution OF the almost justiflable
sort. Here, in the midst OF civilization, we
see things from point of view not at this
time accessible to those who are warning
against each other on the other side of the
globe. and yet in recent times our own
troops have done precisely what the jap
anese soldiers at Port Arthur did. Just
about four years ago there was collision
between the Seventh U. s. Cavalry and a
band OF Indians near Wounded Knee Creek
on the Pine Ridge reservation and 1t can
not successfully be denied that the en-
listed men of the command, at least, killed
and MANNED men, women and children in
discriminatory and we're moved to such
conduct by the memory of the fate which
befell Custer and the squadron OF the
Seventh which persisted with him on the
Little Big Horn sixteen years prior TO the

There were thirty-eight men employed
on the city post-oftice building today. 1t
was once calculated that thirty-eight ac-
tive artisans might complete the building
by January 4, 1900. Experience has shown
corclusively the liberal faultiness of the
estimate for at the present rate of pro-
gress boy born in this city in 1870 will. if

1t is Interesting to note that the con-
gressioDal heart-the House Committee on
Appropriations-has been touched by the
slothful manner In which the construction
OF the NEW city post-office proceeds;
touched because the failure to push it to a
finish is costing the government something
over one hundred thousand dollars year
more than that sum being annually ex-
pended in renting offices that will be va
Gated by government clerks when the slow
growing post-office is ready for occupancy
Quite properly. Chairman Sayers has called
uron the Secretary of the Treasury for an
explanation, and 1t may be that in the
secretary's reply he will show something
IKE reason for the extraordinary de-
liberation which has attracted so very
much Of attention, but the appearance of
such a reason would be as much of a sur
prise as would be the appearance on the
post-office of four or five hundred artisans
in one day.
