HHpoFtdHt StsH SERVICE OeCtStON.
Judge Rodgers, of the Federal court
at Fort Smith, recently rendered an
important decision in a case involving
the construction of the civil service law.
IL was in the case of w. J. Fleming VS..
;. +. StahL Fleming was an Office
deputy under ex-Marshal Crump, and
when Stahl came into office he at
tempted to remove Fleming and the
latter brought suit against Stahl re-
straining him from making the removal.
Fleming contended in his bill of COM
plant that the position of Office deputy
marshal was, by order of President
Cleveland, placed upon the qualified
civil service list, and that by virtue of
such order all Office deputy marshals
were exempt from removal during good
behavior, and that his removal was
about to be made for political reasons.
A temporary restraining order was
granted by the court at the time of the
Hing of the bill and Fleming remained
at his post pending a final hearing of
the case. Judge Rogers held that the
court had no jurisdiction to restrain
removal upon the facts set forth in the
bill. In regard to the effect of the
order OF the president referred to. by
which Office deputy marshals were
placed in the classified civil service, the
court said: THE civil service law never
contemplated that the president or the
commission, or both, could make any
rule or regulation which could have the
force and effect of law. True, the presi-
dent may make rules and regulations
administrative in their nature which
would govern the policy of his admin
istration, and he could enforce the
same by the removal of any person
from Office who refused to abide by
said rules, but they could not have the
force and effect of law, nor would the
courts enforce them. Such rules and
regulations are purely administrative,
and may be altered, amended or APP
proved by the president at any time, or
by his successor in office

Two Diamond Robberies.

Two mysterious diamond robberies
occurred in Little Rock recently, and
the manner in which the thefts were
committed indicate that the robbers
were experts in their line. While the
members of John III. Martins family
were down town shopping, his residence
was entered and over q, 900 worth of
diamonds and jewelry taken. On the
same afternoon another residence. that
of Louis Pollock, cashier of the Ex-
change bank, was visited under similar
circumstances and jewels valued at 5000
were taken. In neither case did the
robbers leave any clew by which they
could be traced.

A tendency to rheumatism is undoubted-

remains in the family. The most effectual
means of checking this tendency, or of re-
moving incipient rheumatism, whether pre-
existent in the blood or not, is TO resort to
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters as soon as the
premonitory twinges are felt. Multiplying

ceiyed the first news of the az
fair through press bulletins. He
expressed deep interest in the de-
tails. He said that the deplorable
event would have some effect on the
political affairs of Spain, but to what
extent he could not say. AS to the
consequences on the conflict in Cuba he
did not care to talk. Premier Canovas,
he said, was a strong partisan. He was
the chief exponent of the element which
was determined to keep Cuba az all
hazards. Seemingly Spain was almost
n unit on this. Canovas was strong
factor in the government of Spain, but

as an evidence of the disintegration Of

Labor Leader Says He will Speak I'm
Spite of Injunction.


Pittsburgh, Pa, Aug. Friday even
ing Squire Stemmens rendered his d.
cision in the riot and unlawful assem-
blage cases against President Dolaa
and others. He holds Dolan. Jacob Auf
heller, Paul Trimmer and Edward Nc
Kay in $500 bail each for the September
term of court. Bail was entered for all.
The cases against Cameron Miller. Will

Eugene V. Debs, who addressed the
large miners meeting on the Duquesne
wharf at night, left Friday for Turtle
Greek. where he spoke in the evening.
Before leaving the city Mr.. Debs de-
nounced Judge Jackson, of West Vir-
ginia, for issuing the injunction re-
straining him from interfering in any
way with the Monongah company or its
employees. Mr.. Debs said
This injunction restraints me from walk
ing on any OF the public highways leading
to the mines of the Monongah Coal & Coke
company. II is most sweeping and none
other can be compared to IL. The injuno-
ton annihilates the right OF peacea BILE as
semblage and effectually suppresses free
speech. If IT is sustained, and / have no

issued IT, in supreme contempt. If have
occasion to raise my voice in behalf of the
furnishing miners in Jackson's Jurisdiction
i propose to do so. or at least make the
attempt, totally regardless of this in
famous Injunction.
THE farce OF the proceeding is that the
injunction is issued by a judge. 1t ought
to come direct from the coal operators
then,at least, hypocrisy would not intensity
the infamy OF the proceeding"
In reference 10 the charge that the
deputies now on guard at De Armit's
mines were forcing miners to work at
the point of revolvers President Dolan
stated that the matter had been placed
in the hands of their attorney and it
was probable that the miners officials
would go into court and ask for an in
junction restraining these deputies.

fore all the newspaper offices to read
bulletins about the murder of the prime
minister. Among the Spanish of all
classes most profound sorrow was ex-
pressed. II was everywhere pronounced
to be calamity of too great magnitude
TO be estimated at this time. All recog-
nize that it's bearing on affairs in Cuba
is of the greatest moment, but of neces-
sity comment on this point is most
guarded. The insurgent party is cor
fident that the death of Canovas means

eminent, the recall of Weyler and the
freedom of Cuba. Capt. Gen Weyler
