CIVIL SERVICE LIST sWELLED.
Ten Thousand War Department Employees
Brought Under Its Operations.

Ten Thousand War Department Employees
Brought Under Its Operations.
Washington, Sept. 2.-Ten thousand
employees of the war department were
classified in the civil service yesterday
in accordance with the sweeping order
of the president of May 6, which ex
tended the operations of the law to
practically all government employees
except those laborers whose work does
not require any great amount of tech
nical skill or intelligence above an
ordinary degree. The delay in making
the classification in the war depart
Guilty involved in including all
those on the payroll of the
engineers division, consisting of
about 5000 persons employed in
various capacities, some of only
a temporary nature, on river and
harbor improvement at out of
the way points throughout the coun-
try. In many of these places the work
goes on in summer only and at others
in winter only, but provision has
been inserted in the rules to permit
the furloughing without pay OF eff
cient men, who can thus be re-employed
without examination when operations
are resumed within a year. The civil
service commission has also perfected
arrangements whereby lists of eligi-
bles are available hereafter for all va.
cancies that may occur. The sweeping
effect of the order, as broadly inter
preted by Secretary Lamont to include
even laborers who perform duties re.
quiring comparatively mediocre In
telligence, is shown by the fact that in
his own office but two persons, the
confidential clerk to himself and AS
sistant Secretary Doe remain outside
the classified lists, these being specifi-
cally exempt from examination bylaw.
Even the chief clerkof the depart
ment and all the heads of divisions
are placed under the protection of the
civil service statute.

VERMONT ELECTIONS
Republicans Garry the State by
About $1,000 Majority.
UNUSUAL INTEREST OVER THE RESULT
Returns from Seventy five Towns Show d
Net Gain of 7,147 in tho Re-
publican Majority over the
Vote In 1892.

White River Junction, VT, Sept. a.
Great interest centered in the elections
in this state yesterday, as an active
campaign was conducted by the two
leading parties, and almost entirely
upon national issues, although each
adopted somewhat different methods,
and the outcome was looked upon as
straw to indicate The direction of the
wind in November. The returns so
far received indicate a majority of
about $4,000 for the republican ticket.

the fall election of 1892 gave Fuller,
rep, 6,s2S; SmaLley, dem, 3,916; all
others, 439 Fuller's plurality, 4,912;
ma ajority over all, 4,473. These SO
towns show gain in the republican
vote of 8, $40 or 40 per cent, and a loss
in the democratic vote of 1852 or 80
per cent. The increase in the
republican ma jority is 4,93s over that
of 1892, d gain Of over ITO per cent.

in Turkey Are Entirely Settled.
Liverpool, Sept. "A representative
of the United Associated Presses
learned last night that, despite her
long experience of the past winter
and her anxiety to be at home, Nj ISIS
Clara Barton, president of the Ameri-
can Red Cross society, decided, on the
eve of the sailing OF the steamer Ser
via, by which she and her party were
to return home, that she would not
leave Europe so long as there re-
NAMED chance that her presence
would be needed in Turkey. Miss
Barton's work in Armenia was done
successfully, yet she was unable to
reconcile what she considers her duty
with the abandonment Of the suffering
inha bitants Of that country, and is
perfectly willing if she can do any
good TO return there and continue her
mission. In view of the present trouble
Miss Barton telegraphed, intiInati ting
her willingness to return to Turkey if
she can be OF any service to the Ar
menians, and has received answers
that there is apparently no immediate
danger of further troubles, but that
no one knows what may happen from
day to day. Owing to the tenor of
the kilograms received Miss Barton has
decided to remain for the present in
England, within a short call of the
field of danger. George M. Pullman,
Miss Barton's secretary and principal
assistant, and DR.. Hubbell, another of
her aides, returned to London last
