An import movement of gold began
late in September with the arrival Of
100000 at San Francisco, from Aus
tralia, and the engagement of $780,,
900 at London and Paris. These are
the first imports of Importance since
last November. They are natural re-
suit of the movement Of the crops. The
active shipment of grain and cotton
calls for increased supplies Of money
at the centers of agricultural produc-
ton, and the deficiency caused by meet
ing this demand is supplied by gold
paid by the foreign purchasers of our
products. The condition favors
continuance of gold imports, as we are
now selling to Europe monthly from
forty to fifty million dollars worth of
our products in excess of all that we
are buying there. In reality we ought
to get $50,00O,OOO imports a month.
The monthly interest on our foreign
debts abroad. however, amounts to
4O,OOO,00O a month.

Killed.

Scottdale. Pa, Nov. 3. - A riot &C.
Cured here in which Henry Gillespie,
John Jordan and Manager Sllimp, IF
the ScOtdale Iron and Steel company,
were badly injured. Sunday a union
man, Frank KeltZ. was beaten into in.
sensibility by non-union iron workers.
vengeance was vowed. Manager
Skilnp, fearing trouble when his men
quit work, formed thirty or forty of
them in line and marched up Pitts
burg street. At Broadway a large
crowd had gathered and four of the
marchers with revolvers stepped to the
front and ordered the crowd back.
JUST then some one threw a stone into
the crowd of non-unionists. This was
responded to by a shot followed by
regular fusilade, fully fifty shots being
fired. nearly all coming from the non
union men. Manager SkemD was
shot in the left foot and was struck
by stone or brick on the left side Of
the head, and is seriously, though not,
dangerously wounded. Henry Giles
pie was shot through the right arm,
the ball passing through an artery, and
he almost bled to death before the
wound could be dressed. John Jordan
had three fingers shot off. Several
others were slightly injured by being
struck with stones. From the num-
bers of shots fired it is almost miracu-
lous that no one was killed outright.
Gillespie claims that when the shoot
ing commenced he started for a place
Of safety. He claims that he was
fired at by Manager Skimp Thomas
Gillespie, a brother of Henry, stated
that he saw Manager Skemp fire three
shots in the direction of Henry. He
will swear out a warrant for the arrest
OF Manager Skemp for felcnious shoot
ing. -Four non-union men were ar
rested.

An important decision relating to the
power of removal from office has been
given by Judge Cox of the supreme
court of the District of Columbia. The
case was that of John G.. Wood. suner-
lrtendent of mails at Louisville Nv
who applied to the court to enioin tho
postmaster-ge from removing
him. His claim was that his sunerior
mad no right to depose him without
giving reasons, because of the civil
service rule recently PROMULGATED nv
the president, forbidding removals
from the classified service excen+ for
just cause and upon written charoos
Judge Cox dismissed the COMPLAINT He
held that the power of removal is an
incident to the power of appointment
and that both are lodged with the
heads OF departments. There can be M
restrictions upon the power of removal
except by legislation, and any rules
touching the matter, whether made nv
the president Or civil service commits
sion, are void. The enforcement of
such rules is a matter that lies between
the president and his cabinet Tn q
similar case in the federal court Of
Chicago Judge Jenkins has given .
similar decision. Under these infer
pretations Of the law there is no legal
remedy for the violation of the rule re-
Gently made, and the enforcement If
that rule must depend solely on the ex-
ecutive. ....| -
