THE OLD SOLDIER POLICY
A Discharged Veterans List Being
Prepared for Mr.. Alger.
Causes of Their Removal From
Office to Receive At
tention.

Secretary Alger has directed the various
bureau chiefs of the War Department 10
make a complete list of all the old soldiers
who have within the past twelve years
heen removed from their positions in that
department. and to state the causes of
removal. This work is being conducted
very quietly, and there is no disposition
on the part OF the officials to discuss
the meaning of the order. Gen. Alger, as
is well known, takes keen interest in
anything that concerns the Union veterans,
and has been prominent himself in Grand
Army affairs.
1t is understood that the Secretary is
having the record made with the intention
of ultimately restoring to their places
the ex-soldiers who Were removed dur
ing the two Cleveland Administrations.
At least, the belief Is strong that Gen.
Alger VIII recommend to the President
a material modification of the civil service
regulations, so that the discharged diyi-
sion chiefs and clerks can be put back on
the rolls, provided they Were not guilty
OF acts making their removal necessary.
II is also whispered that similar action
will be taken in other departments of the
Government, and after the information is
put in complete form, the President will
decide whether or not discharged Replb-
!icans are to be reinstated.
The claim is made by many people that
no matter how strongly the Republican
party is committed to the so-called merit
system, President Mckinley should modify
the regulations so that Justice NAV be
done men and women deprived of their
situations through alleged violation of the

London financial circles are disturbed by
the fact that the London money market
is at the mercy Of the japanese govern
ment. Immense sums of Chinese indemnity
money have been paid to Japan from time
to time through the Bank of England. An
enormous balance has been allowed to re-
main at the bank for many mon tbs, and this
has proved a frequent source OF DIFFICULTY
both to the bank and the financial situa-
ton. There is nothing to prevent Japan
from depicting the supply of gold at any
moment. This supply ordinarily amounts
to f35,000,000, which is f10,oOo,0OO
less than 1T was year ago. The Japanese
authorities this week withdrew nearly e.

John c. Shafroth, silver Republican, from

election contests in the House, and has
evolved a theory of his own about their
proper solution.
He has introduced a bill embodying his

tests no precincts carried by any candi
date shall be counted for that person if
proof is furnished that he refused to per-
init representatives of the competing candi
date TO watch the voting and count.
Mr.. Shafroth's idea is to establish an
