ments, it must be conceded that much
progress in the direction of bcttermcnt of
the service has been made, The Civil Service
Rules have removed large number Of minor
offices in the departments at Washington,
and in the postal and other services from the
scramble of politics, and have given the
President, the Cabinet officers and the Mem
bcrs of Congress great relief; but it still re-
mains true that in the power of appointment
to Office the President finds the most exact
ing, unrclenting and distracting of his duties.
In the nature of things he begins to make
enemies from the start and has no way of
cscape-it is fate and to a sensitive man in
wolves much distress of mind. His only
support is in the good opinion Of those who
chiefly care that the public business shall be
well done, and arc not disturbed by the con-
sidcation whether this man or that man is
doing it : but he hears very little directly
from this class. No President can conduct a
successful administration without the support
of Congress, and this matter Of appointments,
do what he will, often weakens that support.

tween his ideal and the best attainabo

NOVEL COLONIZATION SCHEME.

lated Only by Women.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. ell J. R!ne-
hart a carpenter Of this city, is tired Of
carrying ON hand to mouth existence in
America, and is trying to r,SSe body Of
men to undertake novel colOnizatioIs
scheme. His plan is to buy a vessel, equip
1t and sail to the st. John Or Hermit ISL
ands, In the South Pacific ocean, where
no Inhabitants are left but dusky bellies,
whose husbands and brothers have been
killed by cannibal wars or taken away hy
conscienceless black birders.
Captain Bergman, of the American
steamer Bonanza, sent the news to this
city of the peculiar condition Of affairs on
the Hermit islands. He said that his ship
was blown out of its course and anchored
one day close to one of the islands. He
was astonished to see none but women on
the coral reef, for it was hardly more than
that. The woWen swan like mermaids to
the ship. They told of the condition of
affnirs on the island, and wanted the cap
tain to leave some of his sailors. They
said they would heap on them all the hon
ors of dusky royalty If they would take
their residence among them.
Rnehart declares that it is not the re-
port of the husbandless women that has
moved him to project this enterprise He
says it is dissatisfaction with the condi-
ton of the labor world, and the de-
sire to lead peaceful existence without
having to struggle day and night for
bread and butter He wants to form q
republic on cooper ative lines. By COM
binlng forces and pooling interests he bs
lieyes this proposed band can have all the
comforts of life with little labor. The
scheme is for fifty non to put up $25
each. With this money he expects to buy
schooner and provisions for tho voyage
and at least years stay on whatever ig.-
and it may be decided to settle upon.

Pitched Battle Truce May be Declared
and Arrangements Made for Confer
once Between the Combatants.
KEY WEST, Fla, Nov. 2l.-Advices re-
ceived here from Cuba by the steamer
Whitney cast discredit on the statement
that the campaign Of Captain General
Weyler against Antonio Maceo in tho
province of Pinar del Rio has failed, and
that Weyler will shortly return to Ha.
vana, 1t is stated, on the contrary that
Weyler has no intention of returning to
the capital until he shall have exhausted
every effort to compel Maceo to met him
in pitched battle. When last heard from
the Spanish commander was massing his
forces for an attack upon the insurgents.
The latter are said to number only 10000
men, all told, and they are reported to be
suffering from scarcity of provisions
Maceo is awaiting reinforcements and,
in this connection, news of tho where
abouts and doings of Maxine Gomez are
awaited with much interest. Little OF
nothing has been heard of Gomez, who Is
believed to be at the head of the main
body of the insurgent forces. Current re-
ports some time ago had it that he WAS in
tho province of Santa Clara, and advancing
toward Matanzas his objective point
being the province Of Havana, and posi-
bly, the city Of Havana itself.
While Weylers present campaign Is re-
garded in Havana as marking crisis in
the war, it is whispered that at the con-
clusion of any pitched battle that may he
fought truce may be declared and ar.
rangements made for conference be-
tween the insurgent leaders and the rep
resentatives of Spain, looking to q settle.
ment of the war. This is most significant,
as showing that all classes are utterly
tired of the war md Its burdens, esd long
ing for some way ont of the present diff
culties. Under these circumstances an
important insurgont victory would al.
most be hailed in commercial circles at
Havana with the same satisfaction that
Spanish victory would be received
A great deal of misery exists in Havana,
and the outlook grows darker and darker
as days pass. Business is almost at a

have gone up to extravagant rates, while

been drained of all it's able bodied men in
