The Famous Blythe Case.

The way for the famous Blythe will case
to reach the United States Supreme Court
was opened today by the action of Justice
Field in allowing writ of error directed
to the supreme court of California bringing
the case to this court. The case involves
the estate of the late Thomas H. Blythe
Of California, amounting TO about s4.0r. 800.
He died without a will and his daughter
Florence Blythe Hingiey, made claim to
the property as the only heir. Her claims
were contested. but Were finally sustained
by the state courts and the property turn
ed over TO Mrs. Hinkiey. Her contestants
ask to bring the case into the United States
Supreme Court on the ground that she is
an alien and that federal and not state au-
thority Is necessary TO adjust her rights
No stay of proceedings granted as
usual in such cases because the property
had already been passed to Mrs. Hinkley.
The petition for the writ is in the name of
II. T. Blythe and was presented by Mr..
jeff Chandler.

SERIOUSLY INTENDED
The Fight That Has Bean Started on the
Civil Service Reform System.
Mr. CIevelnnd's Alleged Partisan Ex-
tensions the Cause of the Out :
break in Congress-.

The fight that has been started on the
civil service reform system Is seriously
intended. 1t is hardly probable that the
existence of the institution of civil service
reform is seriously threatened. but the
sentiment of opposition appears stronger
just now than ii has beer at any time for
years. and 1t is expected that there may
be some amendments to the law To some
extent the hunger after Office which de-
veiops with the incoming of every new
administration is responsible for the sud
den agitation, but if that were The only
thing most of the antagoIism in Congress
would not be sincere. There are very few
men in Congress who really want to have
the responsibility for the distribution OF
patronage as of old thrown back upon
them Most OF them are well SatS11ed
to get behind the civi. service reform law
for protection from the thousands OF OF
flee seekers. The classified service is
great protection to them The present
0utburst of hostility is explained as due
to a widespread conviction that civil SerV-
ice reform mas been made cloak tor par
tisanship by the Cleveland administrations
The Proposed Investigation.
1t is intended to make the investigation
proposed by the Senate very broad and
sweeping. and it is declared by those who
have the movement in charge that it will
disclose a most astounding system of false
pretenses and partisan trickery under an
assumption OF virtue. Within the original
classified service, extending from copyists
up to 81 $50 cIerkships. inclusive. II is not
charged that there has been any general
violation of the law any display of par
tisanshp But it is charged that in the eN-
tensions and adjustments of the civil ser
vice system much has been done to bring
the reform into disrcpute- These extern
sions it is asserted. have been used and
were planned TO secure in their places the
appointees of Mr. Cleveland's administra-
ton.
Those persons who have always opposed
the civil service system. but have been
afraid to face public sentiment which sus-
tans the system. now find the opportunity
to make an attack with some show of JUS
tifcation.
The Real Feeling In Congress.
The outburst in the Senate yesterday was
rot entirely for the purpose of winning ap-
plause from the throng of Office seekers
row in Washington. but represents real
feeling in Congress and means determined
effort to in some way amend the law so as
to limit and define Its operations. The
protest it is explained. is against the sys-
TEN of admitting persons to the Service
without reference 10 the civil service re-
form principle and then extending the
operation of the law to Protect them.

Diplomatic Commissions Signed.

The President today signed the commits
sions of Col. Hay. ambassador to England:
Gen. Porter, ambassador to France, and
Mr.. H. c. White secretary OF embassy a
London. Mr. White went over to the State
Department today and qualified for his
post. He is under instructions to proceed
at once to London. bearing letter to the
Marquis of Salisbury. the British premier,
accrediting him as charge d'affaires ad
interim of the United States embassy there
The reason for the adoption of this course
is that Mr. Bayard is at present travelling
in the south of Europe. and Mr.. Hay his
successor. will not arrive in London until
early in May. 1t is. therefore, regarded as
necessary that an experienced secretary be
placed in charge of the embassy at the
earliest possible moment to tide over the
period until Mr.. Hays assumption of office.
