On the Part of the British Government in
Answering the Bimetalic Proposals.
LONDON, October 1.-The prediction
made in the dispatches of the Associated
Press on Saturday last to the effect that
Great Britains answer to the bimetallic
proposals would be delayed has been con-
fir1ned. Arrangements have been made to
hold an informal conference between the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Michael
Hicks-Beach, and other British officials,
on the one side, and the United States
monetary commissioners and Col. Hay.
the United States ambassador, on the
Other side, for the purpose of securing
a more definite understanding as to what
the United States and France expect.
Consequently the British government will
be unable to fulfill the promise of the
Chancellor of the Exehequer to give the
United States commissioners reply early
during the present month and the delay
will possibly last some weeks.

BOGUS CIVIL SERVICE BUREAUS
Their Claims 10 the Possession of

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2, 1S97.-The Civil
Service Commission is much annoyed by
the operations of a number of individuals
and bureaus claiming to have special i'll
formation of value to applicants for gov
ernment offices and special facilities in
preparing them for Civil Service exam
nations. Many letters are now reaching
the Commission from applicants in differ
ent parts of the country inquiring
whether these claims are genuine.
Special pains are being taken to call at
tention to the fact that the pamphlet of
instructions and the examination sched-
ules which are furnished gratis by the
government to all applicants, contain all
the information about the times and
places of examination, the methods OF
marking papers, certifying eligibles, and
the prospect of securing appointments,
and also sample examination questions.
NO person." says the Commission in an
announcement, ''has any information of
Importance to applicants concerning ex-
aminations which cannot be obtained
without cost from the Commission. All
claims to the contrary, therefore, are mis-
representations. Letters in regard 60

not connected with the Commission, as

LUE9GERT WILL TESTIFY
The Chicago Sausage Man Now
Being Tried for the Murder
Of His Wife Will Tell
His Story in Court.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2, 1S97.-The hundreds
of eager spectators, equally divided be-
tween the TWO sexes, kept the bailiffs at
Judge Tuthills court room busy when
the Luetgert murder trial was resumed
today. For time it was impossible for
those connected with the case to get in
or out. Before the court was called to
order the doors were locked and kept SO
until the crowd had been dispersed by
the bailiffs.
1t was definitely announced today that
Luetgert will be witness in his own de-
fense. The big sausage maker said the
matter had been discussed between his
attorneys and himself and when the time
comes he will take the witness stand and
tell the jury about his actions on the
night of May l. Mr.. Luetgert said he
will explain what he was doing in the
basement of his factory and the expert
ments he was conducting. The court
opened with Frank Odorafsky, Luetgert's
smokehouse man, still in the witness
chair. Yesterday Odorafsky gave his
testimony in German This morning he
abandoned that language for Polish, his
native tongue, and new interpreter was
necessary. His direct testimony was
concluded in a few minutes, the State
showing him a tin box containing caustic
soda. This, the witness said, was like
the stuff which he took from a barrel in
the shipping room and under the direc-
tion of Luetgert broke up and placed in
the middle vat
Odorafsky was turned over to the de-
Tense for cross examination and Attorney
Vincent questioned him first about his
connection with the police since the ar,
rest of Luetgert. The witness said an
officer had been with him nearly all the
given him.. and no position promised him

those former occasions he had been exam

ability. 70 all of Attorney Vincent'S
questions about former testimony he an
