A dispatch from Washington says that
the greatest single stroke for civil service
reform yet made by any President will be
announced by Mr.. Cleveland probably with
in the coming week. The recodifcation of
the civil service rules which has been in
process for some time will be simplifed by
making all the rules apply to all the offices
still left In the gift Of the executive branch
of the Government alone, with here and
there an isolated exception made necessary
by peculiar circumstances. This plan has
been in the Presidents mind for long
time, and has been delayed in its accom-
plishment simply by desire to have each
Cabinet officer and each head Of an indie.

satisfied as to the particular offices within

the rules. A few matters have still 10 be
settled, but they will not consume many

by Mr.. Cleveland's hand, it will leave sub

rules will have been placed there

The Science Observer, special circular
No Ill, dated February 20, from Ros-
ton, just received at the observatory.
contains information which seems to
clear up the uncertainty heretofore ex-
listing of the discover of comet A 1896
From this circular it seems that the OBJ
servation obtained at Kiel on February
13, was of Perrine's comet of 1895 (C1
and that there was an error in the
message received at the Lick observa-
tory which gave its right ascension as
19h 15m Abs instead of 19h Aim 47.9s.
The declination agreed with that oh
tanned here. As has already been stat
ed, a new comet was observed at the
Lick observatory by c. D. Perrine not
far from the position indicated in the
erroneous dispatch and this fact was
duly announced. In answer to this
announcement q second message was
received from Kiel giving the position
of the new comet and also confirming
the fact that the observation of Feb.
ruary Is was of comet C of 1881 This
leaves no doubt that Perrine Is the dis
coverer Of the new comet. although
final confirmation awaits mail advices
from Germany.
