WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE National
Civil Service Reform league elected
the following officers for the ensuing
year: Carl Schurz, president; vice pres
ident. Charles Francis Adams, Boston;
Augusts X. Marlborough, New York;
Right Rev. Henry c. Potter, New
York; J. Hill Pleasant, Baltimore;
Henry Hitchcock. st. Louis; Henry c.

Ryan, Buffalo, and William Potts,
Pennington.
The report of the official committee
on extension entered into detail re-
garding the recommendations con.
tanned in the recent order of President
Cleveland extending the civil service
rules. The committee recommended
that applicants for positions in the
diplomatic service be given fair
and open examination under the
civil service commission, thereby re.
lieving the appointing power OF
the temptation to have the men it de-
sires pass the examination unfairly.
The report was adopted. The repor,
of the committee on legislation was
submitted, recommending the prepare
tiop of number of bills for introduc.
ton in congress looking to the better.

MEAT INSPECTION.
Secretary Morton Extends Ills Recent
Order to March 1.

Secretary Morton Extends His Recent
Order to March 1.
WASHINGTON. Dec. l2.-Some time
ago Secretary Morton issued an order
requiring that all beef ordered for ex-
port should be accompanied by GER
tifcate of an inspector of the agricul-
tural department showing that the cat
tie from which it was produced were
free from disease. In order that it
might be determined whether such
beef had been inspected and found
free from disease and wholesome
meat of all other species of animals
packed in barrels, cases or other pack
ages, the order required should be
legibly marked SO as to clearly indi-
cate the species of animal from which
produced. AS numerous petitions have
been received from reliable exporters
of beef alleging that great damage to
the export beef trade must follow the
enforcement of this order on January
1, 1896, the secretary has directed that
the order shall not be enforced until
March /, 1896.
