THE NEWS IN SAN FRANCISCO.
SAN FRANCISCO. CAL, November g.
The news that the United States supreme
Court had decided not TO interfere with
the execution of Durrant spread quickly
over the city to-day, and created great
interest. The decision Of the Supreme

parentiy Durrant and his lawyers have
ceased to have any hope.
Warden Hale OF San Quentin. who rs

sANGUILLY Is EMBARRAsssED.
He is Ordered by Gomez to Join the
the Cubans.

PHILADELPHIA, November S.-The
Press will say tomorrow that General
Julio Sanguilly, the Cuban patriot, has
received an order from General Gomez
to report for duty in the insurgent
ranks. The order places him I'm a most
embarrassing position. SanguillY had
become an American citizen, and when
arrested i'm Habana, two years ago, was
only released from Morro Castle upon
pledging his word not to again take up
arms against Spain. Sanguilly gave this
pledge after much hesitation. Not long
afterwards General Gomez ordered him
to report for duty, but Secretary Sher-
man, it Is said. informed Sanguilly that
If he did so he would forfeit his Ameri-
can citizenship. The last note from
Gomez is to the effect that IL Sanguilly
who is a major-general by commission
from Gomez does not report before De-
cember, ne will order him reduced to the
ranks, and discharged without honor.

REVENUE REMOVALS.
DECISION OF JUDGE JACKSON AS
TO TENURE OF OFFICE.
CIVIL-SERYICE LAW CONSTITUTIONAL
Appointees Hereunder Have
Right I'm Equity to Their Places,
which They Can't lie Forced to
Surrender, Save for Cause.

CHICAGO. ILL, November S.-A spe-
cial to the Times Herald from Mar
tinsburg, w. Va, says: Judge John j.
Jackson handed down a decision to-day,
which holds that a transfer cannot
without trial be made under the Ecivil
service law, because 1t is equivalent to
removal.
Judge Jackson insists that the appoint
ment of man to FEDERAL position un-
der the civil service laws gives him a
right In equity 10 the place, which he
is not forced to surrender, save for
cause.
Judge Jackson remarks in his docu-
ment that the leaving of discretionary
powers in the hands Of the heads of de-
partments makes civil service a dead let
ter. He rules that the civil service law
is entirely constitutional.
His second finding is that Congress has
never delegated to the President and
the commission legislative power.
His third point declares that the in
ternal revenue service has been placed
under the merit code. and he holds that
any attempt to change the position and
rank of officers in the civil service de-
partment is a violation Of the law.
His final holding is that the Court
has a right in such case, and has the
jurisdiction, to restrain the appointing
power from removing the officers from
their positions. if such removals are
shown to be in violation of the civil SER
vice act He, therefore. orders that the
salared places to small-salaried places
should be reinstated.
The case, which resulted in this opin-
ion was brought by a storekeeper in
the internal revenue service.
