retary Reynolds has decided that in
the absence of conclusive evidence
showing the dependent or non-depend-
ent condition of mother at the date
of her soldier sons death her claim
cannot be rejected solely upon the
grounds that the soldier did not con-
tribute to her maintenance.
Secretary Reynolds also holds that
the legal representatives of a deceased
claimant for bounty land warrant may
prosecute for the benefit of the claim
ants heirs or legatees, his claim for
such warrant pending an appeal at
the time of his death; that the act of
February IL, 1s47, applies only to
soldiers who were living at the
date of its passage and were
then in the enlisted service, those
who thereafter enlisted and the
family or relatives of such only; that
the act of March 8, 1855, applies to
those soldiers living at the date of its
passage and to widows or children of
those who had died prior thereto; and
that a certificate or warrant issued
jointly to several co-warrantees NAV
not be recalled or cancelled after the
death of any of them.

President Cleveland Makes an Order Ar.
fecting Many Employees of the Agricul-

WASHINGTON, May 27.-Probably the
cause of civil service reform has never
received more substantial impetus than
it did Saturday when President Cleve-
land issued series of orders amend
ing the civil service rules in relation
to the department of agriculture.
First the president directed that
hereafter all chiefs of division
in the department, of whom there
are eighteen, should be taken
out of what is known as the ac-
cepted class, appointments in which
are subject to the personal pleasure of
the secretary of agriculture, and that
any vacancies that might occur here
after should be filed by promotion
from the large corps of trained experts
employed in the department, or, occa-
sionally. when necessary, by competi-
tive examination. These positions de-
mand skill of high technical and pro-
fessional character.
The classification of the department
of agriculture was further amended so
as to make subject to competitive ex-
animation under the civil service rules
all state statistical agents and all
messengers in the weather bureau out
side of Washington. Those employed
at Washington were already classi-
fed. The inspectors, veterinary
inspectors and assistant inspectors of
the bureau of animal industry were al
ready subject to competitive examina-
ton. This extension to the remaining
places in the bureau adds more than
500 places to the classified service.
