HERE is HOPE FOR A FEW.
Probable That 800 Good Places VIII
BE Removed From the Glass
flied Service soon.

Washington, July 10.-The president and
the members of the civil service commits
sion have had a number of conferences
recently on the question of revision OF
the civil service rules so as to exempt Ger
tain important places which were included
in Mr.. Cleveland's last extension order
A final determination, however. has not
been reached, but it Is altogether prob
able that about 800 places will be taken
out of the classified service. These Will
include deputy collectors of customs who
are in charge of sub-stations and deputy
collectors of internal revenue who have
charge of the distribution of revenue
stamps. There are approximately l50 of
the places in each class. II is not pro-
posed, however to exempt the places from
examination. The appOintee viii he
ordered before the civil service commission
for examination and in case of failure his
name must be Withdrawn and another ap-
pCintment made. 1t is argued that the
positions which IL is proposed 10 restore 70
the excepted list are of great importance
and that as the stations of these Officers
are often far removed from that Of their
chief who alone is responsible Tor their
acts, he should have some voice III their
selection. The bonds furnished the gov
ernment by collectors of customs and col
lectors of internal revenue cover all funds
passing through the hands OF agents ana
deputies. and II is contended that il Is un-
lust TO hold a collector responsible for the
honesty of a man of whom he knows
nothing. II is probable the president VIII
take action in the matter within the next
few dayS.

Strike.

DevIin. one of the heaviest coal operators
in the state. says that the condition of the
Kansas miners is certain to grow better
from now on. The strike in the East is
bound TO increase the demand for Western
coal. and this will enable the miners TO do
more work during the summer than they
have ever done in Kansas before during
the heated period. Then a revival of busi-
ncss in the fall means an increased demand
tor coal. Taking everything into consider
alton, he says, the miners have reason 10
feel hopeful.

the miners as to their participating in the
Eastern strike reveals the fact that the
very great majority here are of the Opin-
ion that il is well for them to remain at
work as they had a bitter lesson four .ears
ago. All the mines here are now running
on fun time and the companies are nearly
all behind on their orders. New contracts
are being received here. which were lost
during the former strike.
