their only hope was to induce the presi-
dent to saddle himself with the odium
of damaging the effectiveness of the
rules as far as possible.
Still, there is nothing to show that
the president has any mind to obey the
senatorial behest. While he may make
some notifications as indicated by his
message, it does not follow that he will
do anything like what the spoilsmen
expect Of him. Persons who have been
on the inside of affairs in Washington
know that two extensive schemes for
looting the classified service have al
ready been blocked with either his ac-
tive assistance or his knowledge and
approval. Secretary Alger had hardly
got warm in his seat as secretary OF
war before he requested the opinion OF
the attorney general as to the legality
of the inclusion of some four thousand
and odd places of the engineer depart
ment in the classified service. The
opinion, written by one of the chief
officers of the department of justice
was never promulgated, though the
secretary of war was duly acquainted
with it's contents; the secretary did not
press the matter further. In like man
ner the question was raised about the
government printing office, and one OF
the assistant attorneys general prepar-
ed an elaborate opinion Which, II
adopted, would have taken the office
out of the classified service instanter.
That opinion was sent to the very Off
ce it affected, to be put into type; but,
for some reason inscrutable to its an
thor, it, too, was showed into dark
pigeon hole and suppressed.
Allowing for the weaknesses of poor
human nature, it is always possible
that the president may change his
mind on any of the points on which he
has committed himself. Until he shows
some decided signs of doing so, how
ever, it is only just to assume that he
intends to stand honestly by the declar-
ations Of his party platforms, his own
speeches in congress, and his inaugural
address and first annual message, and
it is the duty of all sincere civil service
reformers to take pains to let him
know that if he stands firm he will
have the whole enlightened sentiment
of the country behind him.

know where she stands or how far the
other powers will permit her to go.
Germany, Russia and France are still
negotiating, and while there is strong
pressure to bring about joint action Of
these powers in the far East, equally
potent influences are working to frus-
trate such plans. 1t depends largely
upon the outcome of these negotiations
as to what instructions Prince Henry,
of Prussia, will find awaiting him when
he arrives at Hong Kong early in Feb
ruary In the meanwhile the mission
of Prince Henry may be characterized
as mainly a display of spread-eagle-
ism. A prominent diplomat in an inter
view with the correspondent here of
the Associated Press, said:
'Russia's occupation Of Port Arthur
is permanent. She thereby secures a
much desired terminus for the Siberian
railroad, which will forthwith be ex-
tended from Vladivostock to Port Ar
thur, making Russia the undisputed
mistress of Manchuria and the whole
of North China. Her interests In China
in no way collide with those of France,
whose sphere of action is in South
China. Between them is an immense
territory which may eventually be dis
puted between Great Britain. Germany
and Japan. A movement is now on
foot between Japan and Germany to
arrive at an understanding, as Japan
sees clearly that this course is the
wisest Russia will not tolerate Japan
in Corea, as it would upset all the
schemes she has been preparing for
the past two years. Therefore Ger
many is the only friend and ally Japan
can look for in the coming events.
That is, if she knows how to play her
cards and establish a basis of mutual
interests for which hear there is con-
siderable prospect"
From good sources the correspondent
here of the Associated Press learns
that the Bay Of Giao-Chou is by no
means so valuable as at first believed.
Part Of the harbor freezes during three
months of winter and ice breakers are
required to keep 1t open. The hinter-
land is barren and treeless and the
nature Of the ground necessitates the
erection of costly large fortificatiOns In
order to hold the bay and adjoining
territory against attacks. If Germany
concludes to retain it, she will have TO
spend large sums of money.

CHICAGO, Dec. 25.-The fire which
last evening destroyed the Coliseum at

an immense piece of glass fell from
the roof pinioning him to the earth
while the flames slowly smothered him.
1t is practically certain that Johnson
was the only person killed; but a
thorough search Of the ruins is being
carried out. Those who were reported
missing last night returned to their
homes today. Most of them had mar
row escapes from death. Sholan Huf-
fan, the Armenian who was employed
in the Streets of Cairo exhibit and who
was thought to have been killed, re-
turned to his hotel this afternoon after
having wandered about the city all
night. He said that in trying to escape
from the burning building he ran to
the wrong exit, when he finally reach
ed the open air he had inhaled so much
smoke that delirium set in and he
wandered about the streets all night.
The fresh air finally revived him and

shrewd observer is misled by this kind
of foolery? Do gamblers, when they
know that they hold winning hand,
give the game to somebody else to
play? Were members of either house
of congress who had in their own
grasp the means of Saving their par
ty," ever known to go to a president
and ask him to save it for them? If
so, it must have been in the primitive
days when congressman were without
personal ambitions, and were perfectly
willing to let others reap the credit of
the schemes they had devised. That
kind of congressman passed away a
long, long time ago. When those of
the present day get hold Of a good
thing, they keep It, In other words,
the very fact that these senators went

credited shows that they had discov-
