Trustworthy information here is that

this should prove the case, then Mr. Bried-

Secretary Carlisle Issues a Circular
i'm Regard to 1t.
The Secretary Of the Treasury has issued
a circular letter to 'tall officers in and un-
der the Treasury Department in regard to
the civil service probationary period, in
which he says:
Referring to the following provision of
the civil service rules, promulgated by the
President en- May 6. 1896. as follows:
Rule 8. paragraph 4: "A person selected
for appointment shall be notified of his
selection by the appointing or nominating
officer, ind upon his acceptance shall re-
ceive from the appointing officer a certifi-
cate of appointment for probationary
period of six months at the end of which
period. If the conduct and capacity of the
probatiOner are satisfactory 10 the appoint
ing officer, mis- retention in the service
shall be equivalent to his absolute appoint
ment: but il his conduct or capacity be not
satisfactory. he shall be notified by the
appointing officer that he will not receive
absolute appointment because of such un-
satisfactory conduct or want of capacity;
and such notification shall discharge him
from the service you are informed that
tional period the continuance Of the officer,
clerk or employe in the service is ebso-
lutely limited to probationary period not
to exceed six months.
ITO continue in the service each proba-
ticner at the end of his probatiouai period
must be appointed permanently by action
of the department, and take a new oath of
Office.
In case of discontinuance, for unsatis-
factory conduct, want Of capacity or other
cause. the discontinuance must be by action
of the department to make it effective
You are therefore directed to forward
to the department before the expiration of
the probational period Of each officer. clerk
or employe your recommendation as TO his
continuance or discontinuance in the sery-
ice.
Continuance in the service without af-
frmative action of the department viii re-
suit in the loss Of compensation In all cases
where the department deems such continue
ance not advisable"

removal Of the books to the new building?''
Mr.. Green was asked by Mr. Quigg.
He said he had done so. 1t was an en-
cheering problem, and one with many diff
ficult features The way to move the IL
brary would be this: In the first place, the
present library should be gone over and
charted. 1t should be marked in such a
way that the marks could be transferred to
the new shelves. With this done, nine
tenths of the labor would have been accom-
plished. Then the unclassified material
should be moved over, cleaned and put
away. The bound volumes of newspapers
should next be taken over.
Then would come the work Of removing
the great mass OF books. The library
should be closed for two or three weeks.
the library to the ground, down which
could be shunted wooden boxes containing
the books. When outside Of the building
the books should be passed through blow
They fould be loaded in wagons in the
boxes and a force of 100 men employed to
handle them, transporting them direct to
the shelves provided for the volumes in
the new library.
An Extra Session Contingency.
Mr.. Quigg asked IL he thought this could
be done within a month after the expira-
ton of this Congress.
II think so," answered Mr.. Green.
you ask this question, I suppose, with
the view Of an impending extra session of
Congress? asked Senator Wetmore chair
man of the committee.
THAT Is my idea," replied Mr. Quigg
DO you think 1t would be desirable to
hurry up the work SO as to do the work in
March?" asked Mr.. Green.
"Yes," replied Mr.. Quigg. "If we are to
have an extra session of Congress to take
up the tariff bill that library should be
available, in its new quarters, for use when
Congress assemblies. Now, Mr.. Green,
could you, with your present resources
pick up that library and install it within
thirty days after March 4?''
Mr.. Green replid that he could. His opin-
ion was that the new building should be
occupied as soon as possible, and there was
no reason for postponing 1t.
1t would not be necessary to wait until
March to begin the work of removal. Some
of the things could be carried over earlier
as they were needed.
Mr.. Green recommended that the libra
rian should have charge of the charting
and ticketing Of the books and he himself
could handle the engineering features of
the actual removal
When asked by Senator Wetmore If the
proposed use of the library for the inaugu-
raj ball would interfere with the work of
removal, he said 1t would. He opposed the
use of the building for this purpose any,
how. The library was not fitted for such
use, and the presence Of the crowd might
deface or mar the interior Of the building.
At this point the committee adjourned to
make an inspection Of the library building
with view to the location of the different
branches of the library and the occupancy
of the rooms. The next meeting will be
held Tuesday. December I, at 1870 o'clock.

THE YELLOWSTONE PARK.
Capt. AndersOn's Report of the Opera.
tiOns for ImprOvement.

Capt. Geo. s. Anderson, 9Th Cavalry, su-
perintendent of the Yellowstone National
Park, has made a report of the operations
for the improvement of that beautiful gov
ernment reservation during the past year.
In conclusion he says:
Owing to the shortness of the season
here during which this work can be prose-
cuted, not more than 100000 can be eco
ncmically expended in one year. I there
fore urgently request that this amount be
asked from Congress for the work of next
season. If 1T be granted, feel sure that
the sum of $4,000 for the following season
will entirely complete the scheme of i'm
provement as planned. After this Is done
there will remain nothing but the work Of
annual repairs and the constant better
ment Of the roads in the way of surfacing,
calculated to do away with or lessen the
dust and mud nusances.
THE moneys expended for park 'protec-
ton have produced good results in the
way of numerous trials and convictions of
parties for poaching in violation of the act
of May Z, 1894. The game of all kinds has
multiplied beyond belief under the protec-
ton afforded by this act"
