Secretary Smith Approves.

To this communication the Secretary of
the Interior replied as follows:
I have received your letter OF the 10Th
instant, containing a discussion of the
provisions of the act of Congress, approved
March 2, 1895 public No. 120, relating to
the eleventh census, and stating your con-
illusions that the ninety persons who
were employed in the census office on
March last were brought into the CLASH
fled service by virtue of the law, which in
corporated them into the Department of
the Interior as a division of the Secretary S
office; also that, as the census no longer
exists as a separate classified Office, the
persons who had been separated there
from previous to March are not en-
titled to appointment in the departmental
service by wsy of reinstatement.
In answer to your request for an ex-
preston Of my views upon the subject. !
would say that 1 have examined your rea-
soning carefully, and take pleasure in de-
claring my assent to the conclusions you
have reached. A list of the employees of
the census division of this office is trans
mitted to you herewith.

Deranged Digestion

is almost universally followed
by decreased vitality. Cod-1iver
Oil is the natural remedy for
decreased vitality, but to pre-
scribe plain oil to one whose di-
gestion is impaired is likely to
aggravate the difficulty. But
there is a way to take Cod-liver
oil and aid digestion at the same
time.
This way is SCOTS Emulsion
of Cod-1iver Oil with Hypo-
phosphites of Lime and Soda.
SCOTS Emulsion not only pre-
sents Cod-liver oil in a palatab1e
and easy form, but the Hypo-
phosphites are themselves an aid
to digestion and remedy for
the nervousness of many weak,
emaciated persons.

THE CENSUS EMPLOYEES
They Are Now Considered as in the CLASH
fed List.
Conclusion Reached by the Civil Ser
wee commission After an Examina.
ton of the Appropriation Act.

The civil service commission has decided
that the ninety clerks in the late census
office, who were on the rolls of that Office
at the time of its transfer to the Interior
Department, are now in the classified sery-
ice and subject to civil service rules; also,
that those clerks separated from the office
prior to March are not entitled to REIN
statement. The views of the commission
are stated in the following letter to the
Secretary of the Interior:
This commission has carefully examined
the paragraphs of the act, Public, No. 120,
making appropriations to supply deficien-
cfes in the appropriations for the fiscal
year ending March 2, 1895, approved March
2, 1885, relating to the eleventh census,
and invites your attention to the following
conclusions which it has reached, relative
to the classification of the office of the
eleventh census. under the civil service
to receive an expression of your views in
the matter. The act of March 2 provides:
Conclusion Reached.
1. That the Office of the eleventh census
shall be abolished ard the terms of all
employees appointed under the provisions of
the act of March l, 1889. entitled IAN act
to provide for the taking of the eleventh
and subsequent censuses," or of any SUBJ
sequent act relating to the eleventh census
shall cease and terminate except as herein
after specified, after the 4th day of March,
1895.
2. That the unfinished work of the eley-
enth census shall be completed In the Of
nee of the Secretary of the Interior, to
whom the records and other property of
the census office shall be transferred.
3. That the Secretary of the Interior is
authorized to employ from the date speci-
fled in this act, namely, March f. 1885,
from the force of the census office then
employed chief of division, at salary of
$2,OOO per annum; three special agents, and
such other employees, not to exceed ninety,
as he may deem necessary for closing up
and completing the work of the eleventh
census.
4. The Secretary of the Interior is also
authorized to continue the cervices of the
commissioner of labor, in charge of the
completion Of the eleventh census.
1t seems to the commission clear from
these provisions that the force authorized
to be employed by the Secretary of the In
census becomes from the 4th day of
March, 1885, part of the classified force
OF the Interior Department and of the
Office of the Secretary of the Interior, and
as such entitled to all the rights and
privileges which they would have had If
they had been brought into the classified
service by an extension of classification by
executive order, instead of being transfer
red to that service by an act of Congress.
The case is somewhat analogous to that
by which the enlisted men of the signal
service. an unclassified force, became a
part of the classified force by provision of
law, under which they ceased to be enlisted
men, and became civilian employees of the
signal office.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1895-04-01
No Right to Reimbursement.

1t seems to the commission also clear that
since the census office is abolished by one
of these provisions, and no longer exists,
and does not therefore become, as census
office, a classified Office only a definitely
limited number of the employees of that
office who were employed therein on the
4th day of March, 1895, becoming classified
the Interior, that all of the persons who
have been employed in the census office and
who became separated therefrom prior to
or on the 4th day of March, 1895, have no
rights whatever to reinstatement under the
provisions of departmental rule X
The case of these people is not similar to
the case of those employees of an office
which has become a classified office by an
extension Of classification by an executive
order. who were separated from such office
before it was classified, for in that case the
Office continues to exist; it was an unclaSsi-
fed office, and it becomes, by executive act,
vice rules persons separated from such an
office have the same right of reinstatement
under the provisions and within the limi-
tations of the rule governing reinstate-
ments, as persons separated therefrom af-
ter 1t became classified.
In the case of the census office the office
itself does not become classified, but Is
and ceases to exist; therefore
the persons who cease to be employees of
the United States at the time the office
ceased to exist, or prior to that time, have
no rights whatever under the civil service
law and rules. but stand in relation to the
those who have never been in the public

Dover, Del, May 7.-Despite the with drawal of George V. Massey from the senatorial contest six votes were cast for him today. The explanation given by his friends was that he had requested conference with the other members to- night, and until the conference has been held they should continue to vote for him.
 It is not believed that the Massey men will go to either Higgins or Addicks, but will ask that new man be named. The Addicks men still remain firm and declare that it will be Addicks or no- body.
