ADMIRAL MEADE's CASE.

Two Ways in Which He Could BE
Restored to the Active List.
There are two ways. and two only, by
which Admiral Meade may be restored to
the active list Of the navy. The first is by
special act of Congress creating a vacancy
for his special benefit. There Is a precedent
for this in the case of Commander Book
That officer was retired on account of phys
ical disability. He subsequently regained
his health and was restored to active duty
by a special act Of Congress. Such action
in the case of Admiral Meade would neces-
state an addition to the list Of admirals
now limited to six.
The other way, which Is possible only
with President friendly to the beneficiary
would be by NIeade's nomination by the
President and confirmation by the Senate
to fill a vacancy in the grade of admirals
No such vacancy can exist in the ordinary
progress of naval events except by the
positive refusal of the President to promote
the officer in the next lower grade entitled
to it.
The vacancy caused by the retirement of
Admiral Meade will be filled in a few days
by the promotion of Commodore Beardslee
commanding the European station. Inas-
entirely voluntary with him and could not
have been imposed as a punishment 1t is
not regarded as plausible that he aspires
to future reinstatement, He does not reach
the compulsory retiring age until 1899, and
he could have remained ON the active list
until that date in the ordinary course Of
events If he had so desired.

GARBAGE DESTRUCTION.

Commissioners Give a Hearing on n
Proposed System.
At the morning session Of the board of
Commissioners today an audience was given
the representatives of the Mertz system of
garbage destruction, to explain the features
of that system. There were present VIM.
Grevel secretary; Louis Steckler attorney,
and C. L. Bartels, representative. Mr.. B.
II. Warner accompanied the gentlemen and
took a great deal of interest in the discus
sion. Mr.. Grevel explained the workings
of the new system in detail and asked the
Commissioners to thoroughly investigate
the matter. He stated the system was in
successful operation at st. Louis, Buffalo,
Detroit and Milwaukee. In Buffalo they re-
ceived 81 per ton for the destruction of
garbage; In st. Louis, $1.SO per ton was
paid. This was the third year 1t had been
in Detroit and the second year 1t had been
used in Milwaukee. The st. Louis contract
was for ten years. In reply to a query
from the Commissioners Mr. Warner said
If the contract was awarded to the Mertz
Company the plant would be located across
the Eastern branch, or somewhere in Vir-
ginia.
The Commissioners promised to send the
health officer to examine the system.

MExICO's NEW PLAN
1t Will Raise Revenue by Levying an FIX
traction Tax"
Placed on Silver and Gold Mines In
Which American. Capital is
Heavily Interested.

Word reaches Washington that Mexico
is about to adopt new plan for raising
revenue, by taxing all silver and gold
mines in which American capital is heavily
invested Finance Minister Limant toux
first suggested the plan to the budget COM
mittee, and the latter accepted it and pre-
sented it to the chamber OF deputies as
part Of the federal revenues for the cur
rent year. The proposed tax is estimated
in the budget to yield s2.275.0O0. which
makes it the third item of Importance in
the Mexican revenues, being exceeded only
by customs ard internal revenue or stamp
tax
The new tax is to be called an ''extrac-
ton tax" It Is 2h per cent on silver and
31a Oh gold. 1t is to be paid on every spe-
cies Of the. two precious metals. rough or
refined. The collection is to be made at the
metallurgical offices on such metals as are
for local use, and at the point of export on
metals sent abroad. This extraction tax"
Is in addition to the charge for minting or
coming. There are no exemptions, even in
the case of special mining concessions or
zones granted by the government.
Another prospective change affecting
American interests Is likely to result from
the silver-lead ore item of the last United
the old American rate Of IL cents per
pound on the LEAD contained in silver-lead
ore will be reimposed by Mexico. The rate
was reduced to 3-4 cents per pound by the
that In case a foreign country shall i'm
pose an export duty upon silver ores con-
tanning lead. exported to the United States
from such country, then the duty upon
such ores. when imported from such coun-
try, shall remain as fixed by the law in
force prior to the passage of this act. 1t
Is under this provision that the Mexican
law Is likely to be changed

Civil Service and the Government
Printing Office.
BEFORE TEE COMMISSION TODAY
Public Printer, Employees Commit
tee and New Commissioners Meet.
LITTLE DOUBT OF THE RESULT

This afternoon at o'clock the joint COM
mittee representing the various trade
unions of employees in the government
printing office. accompanied by Public
Printer Benedict, visited the civil service
building and laid their case before the
commissioners in the board room. The
committee consisted of F. A. Sullivan. rep
resenting the Typographical Union; F. w.
Hayes, representing the International
Printing Pressmen; George A. German,
representing the Electrotypers' Union; Hen
ry Davis Of the International Topographic
cal Union, Pressmen Branch, and G. W..
Slater Of the Stereotypers' Union. The
full board of the civil service commission
YVES present. Mr.. Harlow presiding. Messrs.
Rice and Proctor displayed great interest
in the errand Of the printers, as did also
Mr.. Harlow.
Mr.. Benedict introduced each of the men,
bers Of the committee in turn to the COM
their errand. the history of the movement
to place the government printing office
under the civil service rules, and gave his
own unqualified Endorsement to the propo-
sition. expressing the earnest desire that
the prayer of the employees should be
granted and the office lifted out Of the
exigencies Of practical politics.
Mr.. Sullivan, the chairman Of the COM
m1ttee, presented to the commission the
various resolutions adopted by the unions
ard told the commissioners in a very bus
iness-like manner the reasons why the
Office should have the protection of the civil
service rules. He said that the joint COM
mittee represented all the organized bodies
employed in the government printing Office
with the single exception Of the Bookbind-
ers' Union. The Women's Bookbinders
Union, although not represented on the
committee, have taken action agreeably
with the majority of the employees. Thus.
he said. the committee represented fully
four-fifths Of all the employees in the gov
ernment printing office, a number not less
altogether than twenty-five hundred
Mr.. Harlow asked a number Of questions
as to the steps by which this combined ac-
ton had resulted and. from his utteranee
and manner 1t was quite apparent that the
request of the employees pleased him. and
there can be little doubt of similar feel
ing on the part of his colleagues. The re-
suit Of the request of the committee is re-
garded as practically foregone conclusion.
The President Is known to be in favor of 1t.
and the commissioners, will unanimously
recommend that the civil service rules be
extended to cover the government printing
office. Just what time will be selected for
the new order of things to go into opera
ton cannot now be given, but 1t Is likely
to be an early date.

MIR. THURsTON's RESIGNATION.
The State Department Omcially Noti-
fed of That Fact.

The Stnte Department Omcially NOti-
fed of That Fact.
The State Department has been officially
informed Of the voluntary withdrawal of
Mr.. Thurston. the Hawaiian minister The
notice was received from United States
Minister Willis. who transmitted the reply
made by the Hawaiian government to his
note, informing them that Mr.. Thurston
was persona non grata to President Cleve-
land. This consists in the mere announce
ment that Mr.. Thurston has resigned and
will not return to Washington, without
entering into a discussion Of the merits Of
the case.
Mr.. Frank P. Hastings. who presented
his credentials yesterday an Hawaiian
charge. Is well equipped by bong diplomatic
service to represent the island republic.
For twenty-oEe years he has been in vari-
GUS branches of diplomatic work, begin
ming as an employe OF the State Depart
ment, later going as secretary Of the United
States legation at Hawaii and finally join
ing the Hawaiian service. His marriage
with a native Hawaiian lady of great
beauty and rare accomplishments further
identified him with Hawaiian interests.
Mrs. Hastings now lives in Washington and
is one of the favorites of the diplomatic
circle. Since the Hawaiian republic was
recognized by the United States Mr.. Hast
ings has been in charge here most of the
time, mainly through the prolonged abb
sence of Minister Thurston in Europe. At
many times there have been embarras-
ments. but the good terms on which Mr..
Hastings stands at the State Department
permitted the most cordial relations to be
maintained. He has been decorated by
the Emperor of Japan with the imperial
decoration from King Kalakaua of Ha-
wall. - u
