AS TO REMOVALS.
Case In Court. to Restrain. the Postal Author
tiles.

CHICAGO, H., September 13.-Em.
ployes OF the government, from Maine
to California and from the gulf OF Mex.
ico to Puget sound, are awaiting with
interest, not to say anxiety, the out.
come of the proceedings, the hearing
OF which commenced, this morning,
before Judge Jenkins, OF Milwaukee,
in the United States circuit court OF
this city. The proceeding Is initiated
by Colonel Charles w. Carr, superin-
tendent OF the sub-postal station at
Englewood, suburb Of this city, and
who seeks to secure permanent order
restraining the postal authorities from
reducing him TO the ranks. A temper.
arY injunction was issued by Judge
Jenkins, week ago, and similar
proceeding is pending in the case Of q
Louisville office-holder. The decision
of Judge Jenkins. however, being The
first to be rendered, vill serve as q
precedent, and will, to that extent, de-
termine the status and rights Of gov
ernment4 employees throughout the
country.
The controversy hinges solely on the
question whether summary changes 10
the positions of government employees
can be made, where tho position is one
which comes under the civil service
law, and il the tribunal upholds Colonel
Carr, many contemplated removals by
recent sppointees of President McKln-
Icy will DE prevented.
On June 27 b, las, President Nc
Kinley announced IN end to the civil
service law Ct 1888, and which provides
that no removal shall be made from
any position open to competitive exam
nation, except for just cause. upon
written charges filed with the head of
the department, through an appointed
officer, and of which the accused shall
have full notice to attend and to make
defense. The postoffice department at
Washington, from which the order for
Colonel Csrr's transfer was issued,
joins issue in the present proceeding,
and insists that this rule applies only
to dismissal from the service, and not
to transfers or reductions in the ranks.
United States District Attorney General
John O. Black, who represents the
government IN to days proceedings, |
axes the ground that postmasters, COL
ectors of internal revenue, and other
government officials having forces un-
ler them, can transfer such men as the
.ood of the service requires Upon
his contention the decision will hinge.

WASHINGTON, d. c., September IS.
Consul General Lee went to the state
department, this morning, and spent
nearly two hours closeted with Secre-
tary Day, who gave orders to admit no
other visitors to their offices. General
Lee gave them a graphic account of
affairs In the island OF Cuba, and ex-
pressed the positive opinion that the
Spanish could not put down the rebel
lion with the methods they are now
using. General Lee said he afterwards
understood from Secretary Sherman
that the president would like to see
him. and learn directly, what he
told of, to-day. He says he will go to
Covington, Va, at 2 40 this afternoon.
where his family are staying, but
would probably return to Washington
the later part Of the week, to talk with
the president. He declared he really
had no definite plans for the, Immediate
future, though Lis leave Of absence
from his post would expire Oo'ober
1st. To the question would he go 10
Havana, he replied that he was unable
to say. He explained that it depended
very much upon the presidents
wishes.
WASHINGTON, d. C.,September IS -
During the coming week the Cuban
question is likely to ccme sharply to
the front. To- day, Mr. Woodford is
to present his credentials to the queen
regent of Spain, but whether or not he
presents also, the Cuban note which
he carried with him from Washington,
depends wholly upon General Wood
ford himself. The time at which the
note is to be presented, is left to his
discretion. The note was. prepared by
President Mckinley and Assistant Sec |
retary OF State Day and was read to
The full cabinet. Its chief Significance
IL that the United States asks to be
party TO the settlement of
The Cuban question The note exs
presses the presidents great desire TO
the friendly relations between
The two nations, and his hope is that
Spain will accept the aid of the United
States in bringing the war to an end.
Except for the excitability of the
Spanish and their traditional hostility
to the United States in everything that
concerns Cuba, there Is no reason why
this note should cause any disturbance
in the relations of the two countries, or
give alarm to commerce.
