THOUGHT He HAD a SOFT SNAP,
But the Parers Got Sold OF II AID Spoiled
GOV. Pingree's Plans.

Detroit, Dec. 2l.-GoNernor PinEree
was not amiable when asked what he
had TO say about the dispatch that the
Venezuela people who controlled the
Pedernales asphalt mine had doubled
the price cf the property on him, now
asking sleOC10 for il. That's what fell
low gets for having the newspapers ad-
vertise his private negotiations with for
eign concerns" said the governor, when
asked to confirm the dispatch. You see.
those fellows over there have learned
that Givernor Pingree, OF Michigan, is
trying to secure n big Nenezuela as
phalt mine for only $4,000, and very
naturally they've doubled the price on
us.
why can't the newspapers mind
their own business? Have l read the
published dispatch? No; l don't want
TO read it, either. Have l heard from my
representatives who went to Venezuela
to close the deal? No; / haven't re-
ceived n word from them in any way;
no cablegrams, they cost too much: no
kilograms, no letters-nothing I don't
want to talk on the subject"

EVANS WOULD MODIFY THE LAW.
Pension Commissioner Not in Love with
the Civil Service Methods.

Washington, Dec. 2i.-Commissioner
q Pension Evans yesterday appeared
before the senate committee on civil
service and retrenchment, which is con-
Quoting an investigation into the opera
tion Of the civil service system. Evans
was questioned at length by Lodge and
Pritchard about the civil service system
and its application to the pension Office
force. He expressed the opinion that
the law did not accomplish the results
its friends insisted that it did. The best
men in his Office were those who had
come in under the sO-Called "spoils sys-
tenn" They did their duty and expected
TO hold their positions by so doing. The
pension examining boards. he said,
ought not to be in the classified service.

thought, however. that the entire sys-
TEN OF appointing the boards was
wrong, that all Of them ought to be IN
der a uniform system of appointment.
The commissioner believed that the
head Of bureau was in the best quail
fled position TO pass upon the efficiency
OF clerk, and that he ought not to be
hampered in removing a clerk for in
efficiency. II permitted to do so he could
remove at least 100 clerks from his office
without affecting the efficiency OF the
force. He thought il would be desirable
TO have definite tenure Of Office not
exceeding ten years, so that every year
about 10 per cent. of new blood could be
infused into the force. This would do
away with the abuses resulting from
some clerks remaining in Office too long.
The commissioner thought some reform
would have to be enacted or the country
would have the infliction of civil pen
sion list. He believed it was a mistake
TO include in the classified service the
special examiners, medical boards,
chiefs of divisions and all others re-
ceiving salaries exceeding s1,i00

Some More Trouble for Reddington.

Washington, Dec. 2l.-The sub-con-
mittee Of the senate committee on Pa
cifc railroads yesterday heard F. NJ.
Gideon, the attorney who was charged
by J. X. Reddington on Saturday with
having manipulated the land office rec
orSs. Gideon denied every allegation
made by Reddinston, and insisted that
there was no possibility of manipulating
the records in the manner charged, even
II he had so desired. Alex Brftton testi-
fed that the books and papers in the
land Office had to go through a number
of hands and four or five divisions Of
the land office. making it impossible Cor
any one man to manipulate them in the
manner charged by Reddington.

SPRINGFIELD, Ills, Jan. 5.-There has
not been SO much political activity in
Springfield since the famous session Of
the legislature which elected General
John NJ. Palmer to the United States
senate.
The most important fight is the Sc
lection of a United States senator to
succeed General John NJ. Palmer. The
fight next in interest is in the Demo-
cratic state central committee, between
Governor Altgeld and his followers,
and Secretary of State w. H. Hin
richsen, for the control of that organi.
ton.
The fight for the position of United
States senator is quite as uncertain.
The leading candidates are Martin B.
Madden, the Chicago alderman Sam
uel w Allerton, the millionaire packer !;
Hon. David T. Litter of Springfield !;
Colonel Clark +. Carr of Galesburg,
late United States minister to Dem
mark Congressman r. X. Hit of
