Judge Jackson remarks in his docu-
ment that the leaving of discretionary
power in the hands of the heads of de-
partmen5s makes the civil service a
dead letter. He rules that there is no

His Sc ond finding is that congress

His third point declares that the in

that any attempt to change the position

partments is violation of the law.
His final holding is that court of

Discharge OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES sher-
man Said He Would Forfs.t His Citi-

New YORK, Nov. 9.-General Julio
Sanguilly, the Cuban patriot, has re-
ceived an order from General Gomez to
report for duty in the insurgent ranks.
The order places him in a most embar-
RAISING position. Sanguilly had be-
come an American citizen, and, when
arrested in Havana two years ago, was
only released from MORO castle upon
pledging his word not to again take up
arms against Spain. SaHguilly gave
this pledge after much hesitation.
Not long afterward General Gomez
ordered him to report for duty, but
Secretary Sherman, it is said. informed
Sanguilly that if he did so he would
forfeit his American citizenship.
This last note from Gomez is to the
effect that if Sanguilly, who is major
general by commission from Gomez,
does not report by Dec. 10, he will be
reduced to the ranks and discharged
without honor.

case of the state. ex rel. d. K. Watson.
attorney general, VS.. the Standard Oil
company. 1t was charged in that suit
that a trust known as the Standard Oil
trust had been formed
The supreme court held that the al
legged trust was in conflict with the
laws of the state and could not be
maintained. In the information
filed by the attorney general it is
charged that the trust has not been dis
solved, but that under the pretense OF
winding up its affairs the trust has ar
ranged to continue indefinitely. The
information upon which the contempt
proceedings are begun was furnished
by George B. Rice of Marietta, who is
represented by w. l.. Flagg of New
York and e. B. KiAtead of Columbus.
Today the supreme court will fix the
date on which the Standard Oil com
pany shall be cited to appear In court
to answer the charge that it has ignored
the decision of the court. The date
will probably be some time in the Janu.
