have heretofore been distributed on the basis Of
politics or favor rather than merit. The number
of places in the classified service Is thus in
creased TO upward of $1,000. This addition to
it is by far the largest that has yet been made.
1t reduces the number of Offices that can be
filled without competitive examination to a mere
handful. and will enable the Government Off
Gals hereafter to attend to their regular duties
instead Of serving as office-brokcrs. Whatever
Mr. Cleveland's immediate motive, he has done
a notable act in advancing Civil Service reform.
In conversation with some advocates Of con-
solidation Yesterday Governor Morton intimated
that it was his intention to sign the Greater
New-York bill. 1t is likely that he will act on
it early next week. At all events. he said that
the members of the Charter Commission should
be men whose names would be guarantee that
the work of the Commission would he done with
the best interests of the people in view. That
is clearly sound principle, and we hope the
Governor will not forget TINT he has subscribed
to it when the time comes-if it does come-for
naming the Commissioners. The men to be APP
pointed by the Governor will constitute the ma
jority Of the Commission. and on his selections
the character of the charter for Greater New
York will depend.
Mayor Strong has given his approval to the
bill embodying the amendments to the Rapid
Transit act proposed by the Rapid Transit Com
mssioners, notwithstanding the opposition made
to it on behalf Of Broadway property-owners
and business men, The amendments were care
fully considered by the Commissioners, and we
believe the people Of this community are dis
posed to accept their judgment on the subject
as sound The decision of the Appellate Court
on the report recently made in favor Of the con-
struction Of underground roads Is now awaited
by the Commissioners before they can proceed
actively with the important work which they
have in hand The way is made easier for them
by the bill Just acted on, which will undoubtedly
be signed by the Governor.

The end of the Congressional session may now
be fairly said to be in sight. The House yester-
day BY q unanimous vote passed concurrent
resolution to adjourn on May 1S-the date previ-
ously agreed on by the caucus Of Republican
Senators The concurrent resolution was not
acted on by the upper house, but may be taken
M at any time That the session will end on
the 18th Is not certain, but there is good pros
pect that the week ending May 23 will see the
wind-up.
1t is unfortunate that the Legislature failed
to authorize the appropriation Of $4,000 asked
for by the State Board Of Health for carrying
ON investigations In regard to tuberculosis In
cattle This work Is Of the highest Importance,
and 1t is public disaster that 1t will have to be
suspended. The sum asked for was 80 small
that 1t could have aroused no special opposition
II certainly should have been allowed. Tubercu-
losis In cattle is something that comes close
home to the people In general, and II Is most
reerettAble that the State Board Of Health
should be hampered In Its efforts to stamp out
the disease.

confidence is growing and all indications
point to a continued increase in the vol

Considerable animation characterizes
and steel products are not being placed
as freely as they would be If manufacture
ers would accept current quotations for
1897 delivery. The export movement in
the cruder forms of iron and steel is prac-
tically checked for want of ship room,
caused by the fact that ship room for
grain has been engaged as far ahead as
July Business in southern iron is a little
more quiet, but prices remain firm and in
quiries are numerous.
A slight increase in activity is reported
in the lumber trade, and it Is believed a
fair amount of business will be done after
the election. Quotations are unchanged,
but some grades of lumber show more
firmness and an advance on present
prices is expected at an early date.
The textile industry shows but little
change. Cotton mills are running on full
time, but the demand and prices are still
unsatisfactory and stocks are showing
some increase.

IN A "FATHERLY WAY"
Goyernor-Elect Johnston Skinned DR.. Matthi-
son, Populist Orator, at Clayton
The Third Is Safe.

Clayton, Oct. 20.-(Special)-Joint dis
cussion took place here today between
Governor-Elec Johnston and DR.. Charles
Mathison, an alleged advocate of the
populist party.
Mr.. Mathison opened in a speech of an
hour. He failed to touch any of the is
sues involved in the campaign, but con-
sumed his time in a most assinine abuse
of the democratic party. He had nothing
to say for the Populist Candidate jack
was an Endorsement of Conner, the bolter-
crat candidate. But the doctors argu-
ment was too flimsy, the populists in the
audience readily saw that his argument
was in behalf of the gold standard candi-
date, Conner and several have been heard
to say that while Mathison pretends to be
advocating the populistic principles he
is really trying to lead the populists to
the boilers.
He was charged by Captain Johnston
with being for Conner, which he did not
deny or affirm.
Captain Johnston made one of the
finest political speeches that has been de-
livered during the campaign. His audi
ence was enthused, no part of 1t more so
than the large number of colored voters
present. In the kindest, most fatherly
manner, the captain took all of the hide
off the populist orator.
From reliable information from all
parts of the district your correspondent Is
assured that the old Third district will
roll up a handsome majority for Bryan
SeWall and Clayton.

New York, Oct. 2O.--The board of In
quiry at Ellis island today finished the
examination of the 167 Armenans who ar
rived on the Ohdam Saturday. In ALL
they have admitted four who have
friends or money, postponed decisions ON
about fifteen, who asserted that they had
friends and were given time to produce
them, and rejected the rest. One thing
was covered with mystery, and was con-
stantly commented on by the members of
the board, the peculiar fact that In every
case the immigrant had just about So.
Each man asserted that he paid his pass
age, and almost all said they had not been
helped by any one. The head of the
board. Colonel Ellis, believes that the
Turkish atrocities have nothing to do
with the coming of these Armenians but
that they are ordinary refugees, using the
massacres as an explanation Colonel
Holland, of the Salvation Army on the
other hand. says they were all fleeing
from the massacres and were taken in by
the consuls and sent on any vessel at
hand, and were afterwards collected by
Miss Frances Willard and Lady Somerset
at Marseilles. The aid of the English
branch of the army was then asked and
obtained to the extent of promising 10

The position of the board of inquiry is
that it must follow the law and pay no
attention to the offers of any orga MIA
ton, unless those offers are put into legal
form in the shape of bonds. An Arme-
MAN minister appeared at the island this
afternoon prepared to take the RESPONSE

Colonel Holland said an appeal would
be made by the Salvation Army>in be-
half of all the rejected immigrants and
any necessary security given, as the
army could easily find them employment.
The objection of some residents of
Ramsey to the plan of the army to place

to be only stopping place for them.
They are then to be distributed through

last hearing was renewed and the prison.
ers were set at liberty pending their trial.
AS was the case upon the occasion of
last Tuesdays hearing, the court room
was crowded. Before the proceedings
were opened Hon. J. r. Roosevelt, first
secretary of the United States embassy,
had an interview with Mr. Castle in an

defense, asked that the defendants be

this request, he said, were that the anx-

ceive the benefit of all available testi-
mony in their favor was very great, and
the committal of the prisoners for trial
in the Old Bailey court would allow them
time to come to England. bringing with
them medical evidence of the mental ir-
responsibility of Mrs. Castle.
Magistrate Newton said that he was
unable to comply with the request as he
was acting under directions to send all
cases of shop lifting to the sessions.
Mr.. Matthews then said he had no
doubt that he would be able to obtain an.
adjournment of the case from the

A Democratic Spellbinder Found Dead
With Gas Turned On.

Chicago Oct 20.-Robert t. Swallow,
wel-known local leader who has of late
been making speeches for Bryan, was
found dead in the Cook county democrat

covery was made by the janitor when he
opened the room. The gas was turned
on full force, but not lighted and the
supposition is that Swallow committed
suicide, no cause for such an act, being,
however, known. He was recently elect
