WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-The strongest
senatorial probability in Maryland for Cor
mans seat is Postmaster General Gary
and in the event Of his election there is
little doubt that First Assistant Postmaster
General Perry S. Heath would be promoted
to the head of the department. Mr.. Heath
has displayed ability of a high order in the
discharge of the duties of the position he
now holds, and he has in many ways en-
deared himself to the President If he
should be thus promoted it would be the
second time such an honor has been con-
ferred on an Indiana man, Judge James N.
Tyner serving as an assistant before be-
coming postmaster general
The defeat of the civil-servlce reform
amendment in Maryland is not so sgnifi-
cant as the energetic friends of the spoils
system will doubtless assert. No campaign
whatever has been made in behalf of the
amendment while clubs have been formed
in many towns throughout the State to
oppose it. When the bill to submit the
amendment to the people was passed by the
Assembly, the civil-service reform associa-
tons prepared to conduct an active cam
paign in its behalf, and started to do So
when it was discovered that the wording of
the amendment had been so changed in
committee, in the haste Of the last days of
the legislative session, as to be obscure in
meaning and apparently of exceedingly
limited application. On account of these
defects no good fight could be made in its
behalf, and, accordingly, the matter was
allowed to go by default. The reformers
generally voted for it, however, a step
in the direction of good government, but
this sort of support was not enough in a
State whose voters are so clearly in sight
of the federal patronage at Washington
that many of them are incensed at any
thing which temporarily deprives them,
when victors, of securing a share in it.
The silver Democrats who have been
trumpeting notes of triumph over the cleo
ton of Van Wyck in Greater New York are
just making the horrifying discovery that
the campaign was run by syndicate of
sound-money Democrats, who put Hugh j..
Grant into the foreground as their repre-
sentative he not being especially offensive.
The sound-money Democrats are again in
control of the New York Democratic ma
chinery. and can be relied on to line up
against 16 to l.

British authorities some months ago that
the President would view with favor re.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.--Secret cary Bliss
mas issued an order as to the removal of
employees in the classified service and call
ing attention to the Presidents order Ct last
July providing against removals without
due charges and prior hearing. The cecre-I
tary directs rigid enforcement of this and
allows employees complained of three days
within which to submit, through the proper
ofhcer TO the department, a defense in
writing, failure to do which will be held to
be a waiver of defense. The order adds: 'At
pension agencies, Indian agencies, land Of
flces, or other places of official service under
the Department of the Interior outside of
the District of Columbia, the officer in
charge in transmitting the charges, shall
submit his views and make such recon-
mendations as he may deem proper. When
the nature of the offense is such that the
interest of the service seems to require
summary action, the accused may be sus-
the charges. but such suspension must be
promptly reported to the department.

ment Captured by Liberals.
LONDON, Nov A parliamentary bye
election was held to-day in the Middleton
division of Southeast Lancashire to fill the
vacancy caused by the recent death of
Thomas Fielder, Conservative, who secured
the seat at the last general election by a
majority of S65 in a total poll of 1858. The
results of to-day's polling is the victory of
the Liberal and Radical candidate, Alder
man Duckworth, by majority of 300 in
poll of 11,62S, over the Unionist and Con-
sentative candidate. William Mitchell. Mr..
Duckworth's poll was 1854 and Mr.. Mitch
ellis 1864. The constituency has changed
about more than once within the last few
years. 1t gave Liberal member a large
majority in 1885, before the hOme-rule spit.
1t returned the late Mr.. Fielden in the fol-
lowing year, but threw him out in 1892 and
restored him to favor in 1895. Mr.. Fieldens
personal popularity was a principal element
in his success, and this the Unionsts could
not carry over to Mr.. Mitchell, the Union
list candidate in to-days election.
Mr.. Mitchell is a member of the firm of

and is locally well liked, but MIR. Duckworth
Is not less popular on personal grounds.
Both candidates made plentiful bids for the
support of the workingmen, without much
thought of the middle classes who may
safely neglected. The bimetallist question
played a considerable part in the contest.
Nc part of Lancashire is more 3rdently Di-
metalliSt than the southeast. The refusal of
the government to take any definite step to
meet the proposals of the American and
French governments was used against Mr.
Mitchell, although at all his meetings he
expressed himself as strongly in favor of
bimetallism and advanced the opinion that
the prevailing condition of the cotton trade
is largely due to the depreciation of silver,
which, he said, had handicapped Lancashire
trade to the extent of 80 per cent. Mr.
Mitchell avowed himself thick and thin
supporter of the government. Mr.. Duck
worth proclaimed himself a thorough going
Liberal, with the exception of being unable
to adopt the Liberal educational programme
in it's entirety. The temperance societies
