WASHINGTON. April 15.-President Nc
Kinley to-day gave a visiting delegation of
representatives of the National League of
Republican Clubs encouragement for the
belief that he would in the near future
annul. repeal modify in important par
ticulars the late order of President Cleve-
land extending the scope of the civil
service laws, taking about 200 good DEM
ocrats into the classified services. The
leagues delegates We're nearly fifty in
number. and came from nearly every State
in the Union. They claimed TO represent
about million good Republican voters,
and they urged on the President that JUS
tice and good of the service demanded the
annulment of the obnoxious order that
responsible officials could surround them
selves with clerical help in political SYM
pathy with the administration There Is
little doubt that the President is slowly
shifting TO General Grosvenor's view that
he has the power to modify or annul pre-
vious presidential orders extending civil
service protection, and that the right TO
extend carries with it the right to change,
modify repeal.

ceived by Senator Fairbanks is that the
