THE CONSULAR SERVICE
No Patronage Taken From tho President
by the Recent Civil Service Order.
Dime ulty in Making Rules for the
Examination of Applicants
for Consulships.

The satisfaction of the civil service re-
formers over the extension of the civil
service reform idea into the consular sery-
Ice Is tempered by the fact that the plan
applied does not remove the consular posi-
tions from the field of patronage. 1t Is
practically the system adopted by R. P.
Porter when making his appointments on
the force Of the census office for the elev-
enth census 1t pretends to do no more
than to require those selected to demon
strate their fitness for the positions before
beins appointed. 1t also affords a means
of getting rid of undesirable applicants
with strong influence, but it does not take
any patronage away from the President
nor offer an opportunity, as does the ordi-
rary classified service, for persons of no
particular political influence to win ap-
pointment upon their merits. 1t rather eX-
tends the Presidents opportunity to grant
the petitions of politicians, for he can des-
ignate any number of applicants for exam
nation and let the fault of their failure to
get appointments rest with them by its
appearing that they could not demonstrate
their fitness, or by their failure to do as
well as some other whose appointment
might, at the same time, be more desired.
A Serious Obstacle.
There is, however, 4 serious obstacle in
the way of the adoption of the civil serv-
Ice commission method OF making selec-
tions, and in making rules for the exami-
nation Of applicants for consulships the
President had to experiment with great
care. Educational qualifications and tes-
timonials as to good character are not
sufficient to make an appointment to the
consular service safe. This service, like the
diplomatic service, only in minor way is
n peace army organized to protect the
nations interests, with skill and alert
ness as their weapons, while the military
equipment is not in use. The consu,s are
called on more OF less for diplomatic du-
ties. and 1t is almost as important that
there should not be spies or foreign ennis
SarieS among them as it Is to keep an
army free from agents of the enemy. If
consuls were to be selected by the same
method employed by the civil service COM
mission in the classified service it would
be no difficult matter for agents of for
eign governments to find their way to i'm
portant places. For this reason that meth
Cd is not sufta ble and it Is difficult to find
any system which does not involve per-
sonal selection on first appointment The
desired reform is the adoption of a system
which will exclude from appointment all
who are not by education and character
qualified for the POSITIONS and which will
secure the retention of experienced and
able men in the service, regardless of their
political faith. and regulate promotions on
the basis Of greatest fitness.

Contractor Asked to Pay
$4,000 amages-The Story De-
tailed by the Bill.

IL a suit at law filed for her this after
noon by Attorney Campbell Darlington
against Frederick ]. Lung, Susan Z. Blanch-
ard accuses the defendant of running her
under a promise of marriage, and claims
$4,000 damages.
The plaintiff, said to be a native of a
western state, is employed in the govern
ment printing office, and the defendant is
said to be a well-known local contractor.
Miss Blanchard explains that she and Mr.
Lung agreed to marry one another on a
day now passed. and she declares that she
was ready and willing to keep her part of
the alleged contract but that the defend
ant neglected and refused and still neglects
and refuses to marry her.

to make her Mrs. Lung, Miss Blanchard
solicitations to live with him as his wife,
and that they lived together as man and
wife at the defendants residence in Ia
koma Park. Mr.. Lung, she asserts, told a
number Of people here that they were to
be married. and she explains that she not
only was, but is now, ready and willing
to become Mrs. Frederick ]. Lung. Yet
she says. he without excuse, save that his
sisters say nay, nay, has declared his
intention to never marry her.
Only Thursday last, Miss Blanchard
states, when she begged him to keep his
promise and save her good name by marry
ing her, she promising to interpose no OBJ

diately thereafter. he disclosed, so she as

Mr. Darlington stated that his client, a
simple. little country maid, sought, in filing
the suit. only to save her good name, she
having he said, in womanly weakness and
because of her great love for the defend
ant, and relying implicitly on the defend
ants alleged promises, made a misstep
which she now truly and deeply repents.

The Dead Burglar.

most Immediately, however, the sound was
repeated. and it plainly indicated that some
other person Was in the room. The first
thought of the man in bed was that his
cousin, Mr.. Howard Shriver, who occupied
the adjoining room, had for some purpose
left his couch, but thinking 1t wise to be
prepared for emergencies, DR.. Stewart, as
carefully as possible. turned over again. as

32-caliber Winchester repeating rifle which
was resting in corner of the room near
the head of the bed
At the time 1t was intensely dark in the
room. and in drawing the rifle toward him
DR.. Stewart accidentally struck 1t against
the side Of the bed. On hearing the noise
a rush was ade for the doorway by three
men, who had been moving between the
foot of the bed and bureau on the other
side of the room. Without saving a word,
DR. Stewart began firing. and discharged
two bullets at the burglars. As they dash
ed down the hallway he, without hesita-
tion, followed, firing as rapidly as he could
work the lever of the repeating rifle. AT
the end Of the hallway two of the men
turned and sped down the stairway, the
doctor firing over the banisters in an ef-
fort to stop their flight. He was unsuc-

and the pitcher landed with a crash and
was shattered into fragments in a small
hall room, the door of which was standing
open. Again DR.. Stewart fired, and this
time was answered with a picture in heavy

that it flew wide of the mark and crashed

Next Yc,r's Needs for the Public
Schools.
Now that the estimates of the board of
school trustees for the next year are be-
fore the Commissioners, it is expected the
selection of the new board Of trustees will
shortly follow. It'was stated several days
ago by the Commissioners that the reason
for the delay in making the appointments
was due to the fact that the trustees now
in office had not made up their estimates
for next year, and 1t might be embarrass-
ing to name a new board before this i'm
portant work was accomplished.
In their estimates for next year the
school board recommends an addition to
the Wallach ard Bowen schools. A new
eight-room building IS urged for the north
east section, and a four-rcom school build
irg at Linden. A four-room addition Is
recommended to the Benning school A
Western High School is also urged. If
this school is appropriated for there will
be ample room in West Washington for
rupils fer some time to come. Perhaps
the most important feature of the esti-
mates are the recommendations for two
manual training schools. one white and
one colored. These are estimated to cost
$1O0,OO0 each.

Deciding: Contest of the Half
Raters.
SAILED over A TRIANGULAR COURSE
The american Boat Early Took the
Lead.
SPRUCE'S PROTEST LOST

CENTRE ISLAND. L. l., September 2s-
The racing committee of the Seawanhaka.
Ccrinthan Yacht Club, having charge of
the series of International races between
Spruce ~, Skipper Brand of the Minima
Yacht Club of England, and Ethelwynn,
c. j. Field Of the Indian Harbor Yacht
Club of Connecticut, decided against the
British yacht in the matter of the protest
which Mr.. Brand raised after rounding the
sec ond mark in yesterdays race. Conse-
quently the fifth race Of the series was
sailed over today over a triangular course
two miles to the leg and repeat.
AS per agreement, the choice of course.
as between triangular and windward and
return, in this final race, was decided by
a toss of a coin by the skppers. Mr.. Brand
won, and he chose the triangular. There
was a fine breeze blowing. and there was
every promise of an exciting race to end
the match.
The Yankee yacht Ethalwynn was taken
out of the water this morning, and the de-
signer, Mr. Stevens, had a number of men
busy getting her ready for todays contest.
When the centerboard was taken out 1t
wss found to be buckled badly. There was
not enough time to properly fix IT, but by
some little hammering it was put in as
good shape as possible.
The racers were sent off at 12:A5 on a leg
into sight from the club house observatory
she was seen to be the Ethelwynn. Spruce
did not show for some time. When she did
there was distance of what seemed to he
an eighth of mile between them, but the
distance was not SO great, as the angle On
which the club men gaZed was not true.
Ethelwynn stood on a long starboard tack.
while Spruce made several short tacks
closer to shore.
Ethelw ynn Ahead.
EtheIuynn came about to starboard at
1:30 but stayed there only a couple of min
utes. Spruce went on making tacks, going
about twice to Ethelwynn's once. The
Yankee was compelled to stand well beyond
the mark before she dared gibe to pass the
buoy. She gibed at $3.50.
1t was :3s:O3 when Spruce made her gibe
for the mark.
The wind hauled a little to the eastward,
but wss not quite SO strong as at the
start. The lightning did not amount to
much, however. They passed the second
mark as follows: Ethelwypn. 2:O4O0;
Spruce, 2:06:50.
