THE THEosoPHIsTs EXCITED.
Annie Besant and Countess Wacht.
rneister Expected Here Today.

TheosOphical circles are in state OF
unusual excitement caused by the expected
arrival in this city today of Countess Con-
stance Wachtmeister, who claims to be the
successor Of Madam BlayatSky, who found
ed the society i'll 1875, and her intimate
friend and co-worker, Mrs. Annie Besant.
They will give a series of lectures on
theosophy while here, the first being to-
morrow night at Masonic Temple.
Since 1894 there has been much dis
cordi theosophical circles, notwithstanding
the fundamental teaching of the society
is brothery love. The trouble first began
when Mrs. Annie Besant declared she had
been told by the Master TO investigate the
conduct of William Q. Judge in India. She
went there, and upon her return to Eng
laad formulated charges against Mr.. Judge,
who was then general secretary OF the
American section. The eTheosophical Society
directed the judicial committee to investi-
gate the charges, but owing to technical
defense, the charges were thrown out.
This failed to end the trouble, and when
the annual convention of the society met
at Boston, S95, the American section
seeded, formed a new organization, and
placed William Q. Judge at the head of it,
The secession was ordered by vote Of
100 to 10. Since that date the American
Theosophical Society has been growing
rapidly, while the Blayatsky followers,

ninistration of the affairs Of the city, and
especially TO promote the peace and order
Of that community. This result can best

In a satisfactory manner, by the hearty Co

State has created; and while l have been

PRESENT SYSTEM INDoRsED.
Columbia Union Likes the Protec


tion of Civil Service Rules.
At the special meeting of Columbia
Typogra phical Union, held yesterday aft
ernoon, ii, by Il decisive vote, reiterated its
Endorsement OF the civil service rules as ap-
Piled to the Government Printing Office.
The meeting, which was presided over
10y President hehoe, was one OF the largest
held ia many rIonths. The main hall was
packed to suffocation and the overflow w
crowded the gallery and the landings.
The committee, consisting OF Messrs
James b Knapp, L. NJ. Ring, and S. j.
TrIplett, appointed by the union some
time ago TO report on the operations Of
the civil service rules at the Government
Printing office, says:
The Government secures better service
than under the spols system. The per
sonnel is better; the work performed
greater.
THE law aims to protect the employe
by prohibiting dismssais on account OF
political or religious convictions, but it
imposes no penalties for its viola ton. In
this your committee think the law is
weak and liable to evasion. The com
mission should not only be given the
power to investigate every discharge, but
the power to reinstate in case injustice
has been done
The greater protection to the employe
lies in the manner of appointing. The
Public Printer may not appoint except
upon certifIcation by the commission"
Concluding, the report says:
Columbia Union has for years been
struggling along, beseU on all sides; de-
nounced by her sister unions and the In
ternational Typographical Union for per
mirung evils which were too strong for
her; bulldoZed and belittlcd by politicians
and ridiculed by the incompetent; but to-
day we tell YOU that under civil service this
union and the cause of unionism [ large is
better off than ever before in Washington.
We want your active support for civil
service. 1t is crude now; we propose 70
better it, Do not give us any halfway
support but trust that your brothers in
the cause of uniOnism are welding every
ak and cxertiug every nerve to keep alive
the true unionism that should pervade the
breast OF every member OF our craft, and
give to US as we have always given TO you. y
The adoption OF the report Of the commit
tee means the defeat of the amendment Of
fered at the last meeting, which recon-
mcnds the amending of the civil service
rules so as to permit the Public Printer to
employ competent persons and also to re-
instate those dismissed without cause with
out undergoing an examination.
The matter will come up again, as the
proposed amendment to the report will be
introduced as a resolution directing that
such changes as suggested be asked for
from Congress by the legislative committee

RETURNED TO THE FOLD.
District Assembly, No. 3. TO Again
Join the *. of L.

Sccretary-Treasurer John W. Hayes, Of
the Knights of Labor, returned to the city
yesterday afternoon from PittSburg. where
he had been since Friday doing missionary
work for the order His special mission was
the reorganizing of District A ssenbly No.
3, X of L.. and to induce it to return TO
the fold, and in this he was euinenly sue
ccsSful.
1t will be remembered thatt wo years ago,
on account of Misrepresentation made ut
the General Assembly at New orleans,
District AssembIy No. 3 withdrew from the
Knight sof Labor and formed a new order,
known as the Independent order of the
Knights of Labor. Assembly No. was the
strongest connected with the order OF the
knights of Labor, and formed new order,
was a signal for u fight to the finish with
the old order. Assembly No. 800, composed
of window-glass workers, soon after re-
fused to pay its per capita tax, thus vir-
tuaIly severng its connection with the pa
rent organization Of Knights of Labor.
Secretary hayes and Master Workman
Sovereign have repeatedly challenged the
mouthpieces OF assemblies Nos. 3 and 800
to an examination of the books and ac-
counts of the order, but they failed to
accept the challenge. This has been the
situation during the last two years. In
the meantime, however, Hayes and Sow
ereign have been doing a great deal Of
missionary work on the quiet, with the
result that where once distrust and hatred
flourished now confidence and peace reigns
supreme.
This was manifested by the reception
given Mr.. Hayes on his arrival in Pitts
burg last Friday He was met by dele
cations from all the locals, comprising
District Assembly, No. B, and after u
conference all differences were amicably
arranged, and it was practically decided
that District Assembly No. 3 will return
to its first love, the Knights of Labor, and
together with the old war horses of the
order battle for the principle that IAN
injury to one is the concern of all. p"
The return to the fold of District As
scuhIy No. is the greatest boom the
Knights Of Labor has had fer a long while.
Assembly No. has membership esti-
mated al between 10 900 and 2 900, which
viii raise the present membership of the
order 10 over 10000 members in good
standing.
The window Glass Workers, District
Assembly No. 3oU, are also confidently
expected to follow the lead of Assembly
No ). and thus 10000 more VIII be added
to the ranks Of the order.
Secretary Hayes has been invited to
return to Pittsi'urg on ApIil FL, by. which
date all arrangements viii have teen per-
fected for the reinstatement of District
Assembly No. 8.
The general executive board, which has
been in session at Knights Of Labor head
quarters. at No. 43 B street. during the
last eight OF ten days, viii continue its
work during the coming week.

But do you mind saying whether eX-
Gov. Merriam was your choice"
My choice has nothing to do with
