THE WOOD CASE.
Grounds on Which the Government
VIII File Demurrer.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1O.-The govern
ment, through District Attorney Davis, will
file it's answer tomorrow to the complaint
of Superintendent Wood of the Louisville
Ky, postofice, in the matter of his trans
fer to clerkship in the railway mail serv-
ice. It. has been decided to demur to the
proceeding, as under this line of action the
government will be in position to secure a
decision upon the broadcast possible grounds
There is a general desire among the execu-
tive officials of the government to secure
a decision on all the questions likely to
arise affecting their action under the civil
service regulations, and they think the
course decided on is the one best calcu-
lated to accomplish this purpose. In the
answer to the complaint, which will be filed
tomorrow, the position will be taken that
the matter of the removal of officials APP
pointed by the President is an executive
function with which the courts have moth
ing to do; that such cases involve neither
law nor equity; that the duty or privilege
of making removals from office is one per-
tanning exclusively and absolutely to the
executive, and that the action of the heads
of departments in making removals or
transfers is the act of the President him
SELF In support of this position it is al
legged that the civil-Service law vests in the
President the right to enlarge or contract
the scope of the classified service as he
may see proper, and that If, acting through
his representatives, he chooses to alter its
decision in the case is hoped for some time

Over one hundred members of the G.. A.
r. marched to the Endsley residence this
dent, and a large crowd of citizens fol-
lowed. Rev. ]. c. Harkey speaking for the
veterans welcomed the President. Presi-
dent Mckinley stepped to the front of the
porch and said:
Commissioning can be more grateful

ported that on the morning of Sept. g. in

Anchor line steamer Circassia, Captain
Boothby, from New York, Aug. rs. for Glas-
Cow, disabled, and towed her for one hun
bred miles eastward. when, owing to the
heavy sea on the following morning CAST
Monday the ltowline broke and could not
be replaced The Circassia made no COM
munication, but it is presumed her shaft Is
broken. Tugs have been sent to her assist
ance. The distance to the Irish coast from
the point where the Island left the Circas-
STA is about $50 miles.
The Anchor line is having the steamship
Elysia which has been lying at Glasgow
since July 20, got ready to so in search of
the disabled Circassia and bring her to

DEAL WOODY MADE.
UnbIushinGIy Admits His DECKER with
Mayor Taggart.

Mahon P. Woody, Republican council
man from the Fourth ward, styles his deal
with the Democratic administration, by
which Taggart gets a 900 campaign fund,
a simple business proposition" The Jour
nal said yesterday morning that it was
understood Mr.. Woody agreed to vote for
the additional campaign fund on a promise
Being made him that the Indiana-avenue
bridge over Fall creek should be repaired
in order to make it safe for the street-car
company TO extend its lines to "Cerealine
town" Mr. Woody admits that this is
correct, even to the understanding with the
Street-car company. He talks as II he
thought it possible for the administration
to break promises to him, but he knows
there is no danger of that He says he
took good care to have everything in such
shape that there could be no backdown be-
fore he delivered his vote. On Wednesday,
the day before Mr.. Woody voted to give
Mayor Taggart's commissioner Of street
repairs more campaign money, the Board
of Public Work adopted plans and speciti-
cations for new middle pier under the
bridge and ordered that bids be advertised
for. That action was final. The work will
be done unless some error in the
papers is found. That Is a faVorite trick
of the administration.
1T is said at the boards office that there
were no petitions from property owners
asking that the bridge be repaired and that
the work was ordered on the recommended
ton of Foreman Herpick, who discovered
that the bridge was weak 'about a month
ago." That was after Duncan Dewar, the
honest Democrat from the Eighth ward,
declared that he would not lend his vote
to any scheme for filching money from the
people to bring about Mayor Taggarts re-
election. He very bravely called the ap-
preparations what they are-campaign
funds-and thereby called upon himself in
suits and abuse from his colleagues who
could not threaten nor cajole him into car
rying out the mayors wishes
Woody says that the promise was made
to him by Mayor Taggart. Controller john
son and Foreman Herpick. Mr. Johnson
denies this. The fact remains, however,
that the foreman discovered" that the
work ought to be done and the mayors
board got orders to take the necessary
steps. The next night Mr.. Woody carried
out his part of the agreement He does
not care what Republican friends think of
him. He is not candidate for reelection
He expects that $1,000 of the money he
placed in the hands of the Democrats will
be used on the bridge. That will suit the
administration as well as another plan. All
they are after is the money. 1t does not
make much difference where ii is used
Voters can be put to work on the Indiana
avenue bridge just as we'll as in the South
Side, where clamors have been made for
bridges ever since the Taggart regime be-
gan Mr.. Woody naively asserts that he
does not see that he has done anything
wrong.

A CINCINNATI SUICIDE.
The Man Said to Be C. C. Vaughn, of
Indianapolis.

A private dispatch from Cincinnati re-
ceived last night says that the body of an
unknown suicide had been identified at the
morgue there as that of C. G. Vaughn,
salesman for the "Russel Windstacker
Company" of Indianapolis. John johnson,
an electrician, of No. Water street In
dianapolis, the dispatch said identified the
body, but there was some doubt as to the
correctness of the Identification.
The City Directory does not show any
such concern as the Russell Windstacker
Company. The name of Allen A. Russell,
stacker manufacturer" residence at No.
ga Elm street, and place of business at No.
ia South Senate avenue, appears. Inquiry
made at No. ga Elm street disclosed that
Russell had moved to another part of town
a few days ago, and his place of residence
could not be learned: The Directory gives
the name of Calvin G. Vaughn, electrician,
No. S66 South Illinois street. No one was
found at home there last night, and neigh
bors were unable to throw any light on the
circumstance.
There are several John Johnsons mon
toned in the Directory, but none of them
live on Water street.

FOOD IN CAPSULES.
A New Workers. Scheme to Save Klon-
dikers from Starving.

dikers from Starving.
NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-A New Yorker
comes forward with a scheme to save the
fanatics who have crossed Chilcat pass en-
route to the Klondike. The New Yorker
is the man who invented the condensed
foods used for emergency rations by the
United States army, and who supplied ia
China-Japan war. He believes he can save
the Klondikers this winter, and at the same
time make a lot of money out of it His
scheme is to supply the starvation-thr
ened miners with condensed foods in cap
sqles, and the first step in this direction
VIII be taken tomorrow, when an expedi-
ton composed of three men will leave this
capsuled food to feed 1000 people all through
the winter. Ten sleigh loads of the food
will be carried over the mountains by In
dams engaged for that purpose Each sleigh
will convey tWenty-fOur cases, and in each
case there will be sustenance for nearly one
hundred men for six months. Every pound
of this condensed food represents it is
claimed, ten pounds of ordinary food Ir
necessary-that is, if there is demand for
more of these minute meals at Dawson
City-a second expedition will be sent OUT
later with more of the food.
capsule about the size of a H-caliber
cartridge does not look like very much of
a meal for full-grown man. and it will be
a comical sight to see a Klondiker after u
