WASHINGTON, d. C., Dec 10
There is strong probability that by or
before the next assembling of Congress-
January 5, the President will exercise
his executive authority and make a
slight modification in the civil service
law. The rumor has been current here
ever since the publication OF Mr.. Nc
Kinley's message to Congress, in which,
commenting on the system, he said there
were some notifications needed before
It would be adapted to our form of gov
