Simla, August 2S.-News has been
received of another insurgent success
The Daulatzais, on Thursday, captured
the police post at Mahomedzai, which
was garrisoned by detachment Of the
border police. The garrison retreated
to a new post, held by a detachment
of the Second Punujab infantry, reach
ing there the next morning.
AS the flying column, commanded
by Col. Richardson, which left Hangu
on Thursday to reinforce the post on
the Samana range, which was attacked
by insurgents, was returning after re-
pulsing the enemy, the enemy rallied
and attacked the British force on the
plain. The tribesmen, however, were
again driven off with heavy loss. On
the British side Captain Baird-Smith
and Lieut.. North, of the Scots fusil-
lers, and eight men of the Punjab in
fantry, were wounded.
The British post at Lakka was at
tackled yesterday. The Fifteenth Sikhs
with two guns were sent to reinforce
the garrison, but their advance was
stubbornly opposed.
There was heavy firing all last night
in the direction of the Sunnawari post
on the Samana range. Col. Vaughan,
commanding at Fort Lockhart, hear
ing of the large and threatening gath
ering of the OrakZais above Fort GuliS-
tan. on the Samana range, started to
the assistance of the garrison with 100
rifles. The Colonel reports that short
" before his arrival at Fort Gulistan
a reconnoitering party under Maj. Des-
voeuxs. who commands at Fort Gulis-
tan, was compelled to retire under tire.
In addition, Lieut. Blair was severe
ly wounded while cutting off the enc
mys water supply. But the British
force succeeded in driving back the
enemy's pickets.
The latest news from the front is not
Of a more hopeful character than that
received during the last few days,
though il is true that the attempted
raid on the Kohat district has been
repelled and that the OTakZais have
taken to the hills. But against the
temporary successes of the British
arms must be set the very serious state
Of affairs prevailing at Quetta, Bel
uchistan. There is little doubt that il
the fort there is attacked the chances
of the garrison's safety are slight. The
Notifications are practically worthless
and the place is said to be inadequately
manned. The commander-in-chief
cannot too speedily dispatch a relief
force to Ouetta, for that place is al
most entirely isolated.
Another note Of alarm, and a rather
incomprehensibleo one in view of the
gallant defense made in the cases Of
Forts Ali-Musjid and Lundi Kotal,
comes this morning from Jamrud,
from which place a dispatch announces
that the British military authorities
yesterday deemed it wise to disarm the
Kyhber rifles forming part of the garri-
son at that place.
The situation of the outlying garri-
sons on the Samana range is next TO

Heads Af, Departments and Judge
COx's Civil Service Decisions 1885,
First Assistant Postmaster General Perry
s. Heath today. In speaking to Star re-
porter. commented en- the decision Of Judge
Cox in the Woods case, expressing his
satisfaction that the court had defined the
position of the heads of executive depart
ments in relation to the classified service.
The decision" said Mr.. Heath, has
simply made clear cur lines OF policy as We
had interpreted them. 1t has always been
the contention Of the department that
positions created by the executive heads
of the departments and filed by their ap-
pointment were wholly within their con-
troll, so far as removal was concerned.
Evidently the President intended in his
last order that employees dismissed for
cause. should be permitted to file answers
to charges on which they were removed
do. not~believe he intended that answer
should in anywise be command upon the
officer approving the removal or directing
reinstatement. Thus the decision I'M
questionably leaves in the hands of the
heads Of the executive departments the
power to assign, detail, promote denote
and remove subject only to the direction
and discretion of the President There is
one feature of this decision that I think
VIII be 4 source of qualification to the
executive departments and the civil sery-
ice commission, and that is the defining of
the relation between the commission and
the executive departments. The powers of
the two branches will have no cause to
clash. There has been just enough of mis-
Interpretation and misunderstanding to
cause some little-I will not say friction
but rather hitch in procedure. Now every
thing will proceed in a regular order and
anticipate that the many civfl service
cases growing out Of the action of the
heads OF the various executive departments
will be cleared up
