move SubOrdinateS Sustained.

Fort Smith, Ark, Dec. 25.-Judge
John II. Rogers, of the Federal court.
handed down an important decision yes
terday in case involving the construc-
ton of the civil service law.
1t WAS in the case of w. j. Flemminp
vs.. S. +. Stabl. Flemming was an Office
deputy under eX-Marshal J. &. Crump.
Stahl was appointed by President Nc
Kinley to succeed Crump Stahl under
took to remove Flemming, and the latter
brought suit against Stahl to restrain
him from making the removal, alleging
in his bill that the position of cflice
OF deputy United States marshal was,
by order of President Cleveland. placed
upon the qualified civil service list, and
that by virtue of snch order all office
deputy marshals were exempt from re-
moval for political and religious rea-
sons, and were to hold Off ce during good
behavior, and that his removal was about
to be made because ne was n Democrat.
temporary restraining order was
granted by the court at the same time 'of
the Hing OF the bill, and up TO this time
Flemming and Stotts. tho man appointed
by Stahl TO succeed him, have both been
at the desk in the Office
The decision was rendered on n de-
mnrrer to the bill and a motion to dis,
stlve the injunction. The court held
CuHC III nhu no urls" ctlOn to restrain u
removal upon the facts stated in the bill.
In regard to the effect Of the order of the
President, by which Office deputy mar
shals were placed in the classified civil
service, the court said:
1.-The civil ser7ice law never contem-
plated that the President or tho comr,is-
sion, or both, could make anv rule or reg
ulation which could have the force and
effect of law. True, the President may
make rules and regulations administra.
tive in their nature, which would Cover n
the Policy of his admin stration, and he
could enforce the same by the removal Of
any person from Office who refused to
| abide thereby, but they could not have
the force and effect of law. nor would
the courts enforce them. Such rules
and regulations are purely admnistra-
tive, and may bu altered, amended. or
approved by the President at any time
or by his successor in office"
