Secretary Bliss of the Interior depart ment has just issued an order that no emp1oye of his department who is on the classified lists shall be removed ex- cept upon the presentation of formal charges and after an official hearing, at which the accused may have an op- portunity to defend himself. This or der further gives the accused three days to prepare his defence, in which period he shall not be suspended, save where the interests of the service im- peratively demand it. This strengthens the merit system, is in line with Pres- ident McKin1ey's civil service order of July and gives every employe of the Interior department the assurance that so long as he performs his duty faith fully he will be protected in his em- ployment.

In company with his brother he was re-

The bankruptcy Dill winch has
PASSED the United States senate

with the Torrcy bill. The bill pro-
vides that any debtor, other than

file his petition in the district court
of the United States, offering to
surrender all his property for pay
ment of his debts except such as is
exempt by law, his domicile. The
petition shall give a schedule Of all
property, exempt and unexempt,
and of All creditors and the amount
and nature of the debts and petit
ai5ners shall offer to surrender all
his exempt property for full dis
charge from his debts and liabll-
tiles. The petition shall be heard
by the court in net less than 80 nor
more than 80 days. If the court
upholds the petition, the estate is
transferred to an assignee" for
settlement. Creditors can resist
proceedings before the court on GER
tain enumerated grounds of fraud,
preference 10 creditor, etc. Prefer
ences four months prior to filing
bankruptcy bonds are VOID and
transfers OF property within six
months are wo6d. Provision is made
for distributing the estate among

TORS declared in the schedule who

ings. But such discharge shall not
include any obligations which shall
lave been created in consequence
Of his defalcatisn as a public cred
tor or as an executor, administra-
tor, guardian or trustee, or while

i.y, nor any debt or obligation to
any surety of bankrupt who has
paid or may pay any such ficuciary
debt or any part of it, nor any debt
or obligation created by obtaining
If moneys or property under false
pretenses. The provision as to in
voluntary bankruptcy is that ifany

merchant, trader or manufacturer,
who owes 5000 or over shall at any
lime within four months of the
time Of the filing of the petition

pose to prefer or defraud any cred

SEATTLE, Nov. 25-It is confidently
believed by Captain Tuttle that an i'm
portant letter mailed him last Saturday
from the department at Washington will
certainly arrive tomorrow, so that there
will be no delay on that account.
The commander of this most i'm portant
and hazardous expedition, which hopes TO
take encouragement and food to the ice
| imprisoned whalers IN the Arctic Ocean,
| is anxious to make start. He realizes
that every days time is of vital import
nee in pushing through the ice foes oil
| Bering Sea. II is safe to predict that the
Bear will sail not later than Saturday
| morning.
Lieutenant Jarvis, who is to command
the land expedition, was kept busy to-day
com pleting preparations for the long
| trip he is soon 10 make. He is an excep-
| tionallv modest man and is reluctant
about expressing his views and hopes. He
will say, however, that ne believes his
party will reach their destination and
that he proposes 10 exert every human
effort possible TO make the expedition sue
cesstul. While he will follow the orders
of the depa1 tment so far as they are i'm
perative, he believes that after the arrival
OF the Bear in northern waters, and when
blocks OF ice impede her further progress,
circumstances will very largely guide his
action.
Captain Tuttle has abiding confidence
in the courage and iudgment OF Mr. Jar.
Wis. who has been his first lieutenant.
They will act In perfect harmony, and
consid cradle latitude will be allowed the
lieutenant. The latter believes that the
land party should con- tain but four or five
officers. with the addition of the required
mum ber of natives.
The department has ordered Lieutenant
E. P Bertholff and Explorer f. kiot-
schoff to be OF The party. surgeon Will

may be selected is as yet problematic.
