How much the attitude of England
with the Moslem uprising in Ind ia it is
impossible to say, but it is undoubtedly
the opinion of good authorities in London
that it has been factor in 1t of consid-
cradle potency, and certainly this opinion
is in accord with the probabilities. Moth
revival of Moslem military prestige which
undoubtedly followed the victories of the
Turks in Thessaly should stimula tie the
Moslems of India to make war upon the
one nation that is standing between
Turkey. and the fruits of her recent con-
quest, which is therefore checking the
spread of the religion of the Koran which
its founder taught was to be propogated
by the sword if need be-
If England has aroused the Mohamme-
dan world against her it can be said that
she has done SO without drawing to her
sympathy and support the nations of
Christendom. The Christian in the
Sultan's dominions has received no effec-
tive help or protection from her. He has
been robbed and plundered, driven from
place to place, and even murdered with
out anything better than feeble and in
effective protest on her part. While she
has earned the hatred of the Mussulmans
by her protests she has also probably
earned their contempt by her vacillation
and her subserviency to Russia She has
made herself hated without being dread !.
ed.
1t is to be said on her behalf that the
situation she had to meet was very
perplexing one. The government could
not shut their eyes to the fact that there
were So 900 of fanatical Moslems in
thier own empire bound closely to the
Turks of Europe by the ties of religion
which made active interference in behalf
of the Armenians exceedingly dangerous,
because of its liability to stir up the In
dian Mohammedans; nor could
they ignore the public sentiment
at home which was constantly
demanding that something be done to
stop the outrages. That the government
was not able to steer altogether success
fully between this Scylla and Charybdis
is perhaps not to be wondered..at. 1t may
be the government did the best the situa-
tion permitted of. The management of
heterogeneous empire is full of tremen-
dous difficulties fact that we should
weigh well when we are considering
schemes OF annexation.

The Duke of Argyll sits in the House of

Assistant Attorney General Smelling
gives it as his opinion that the three
women who were drawn on the regular
jury panel in Fort Scott cannot sit as

courts would not sustain the yerdicts
rendered by women.

CIVIL SERVICE REGULATIONS.
Instructions Given to the Ofacers of the
Engineer Corps.

General Wilson, chief of the engineer
corps of the army, has issued circular
giving instructions to the officers of the
corps as to the employment of men on
public works under the civil service regu-
lations. Provision is made for the selec-
ton Of temporary employees for positions
where there are no eligibles, or in the
case of persons ON the eligible list do not
possess the requisite qualifications. These
temporary employees may enter the service
by passing the prescribed examinations.
Civil service local boards have been estab-
lished in each engineer district, in order
that examinations may be had for filling
vacancies. Provision is made for the Sc
lection of emergency employees through
the chief of engineers and the civil SER
vice commission.
j AS the examinations required for the
junior engineer positions are of a more
comprehensive character than those for
the clerical positions, the civil service
commission has decided that employees CO.
oupying any of the junior engineering
positions in the classified service for
which educational tests are required, are
eligible for assignment to the clerical
grades without examination. Such trans
fers can hereafter be effected with the
approval Of the chief of engineers.
Draughtsmen may be secured from the
special list of .eligibles prepared by the
civil service commission, or from the jun
ior engineer list as the local officer may
elect. If selected from the latter list the
appointee is eligible to assignment or pro-
motion to any of the junior engineer
grades without examination.
The provision applies to Junior enei-
neers and draughtsmen who were in the
service when the civil service law went
into effect. General Wilson says:
"Appreciating the fact that many per
sons, by reason of practical experience,
possess the peculiar qualification neces-
sary to perform satisfactorily certain du-
ties required of employees in the engineer
department., and who are not competent
to pass an educational examination, the
civil service commission consented to the
organization of the second general class
for which no educational test is re-

of agreeing on a uniform programme for

came incorporated in the new tariff bill
