Large Number of Persons Have Taken
Examinations This Year.
WASHINGTON, Aug. l8.-The civil
service commission is overwhelmed
with papers of examinations for govern
ment Offices and the corps of examiners
is working overtime to dispose of the
constant accumulation. So far during
this administration more people have
been examined by the commission
throughout the country than in any
previous year, largely the result of an
ticipated changes in the rules, with
changes in the administration. Exam
nations have just been held in So of
the largest postoffices in the country,
which are expected to increase the
number of cases by no less than 5000.
Chief Examiner Severn says all this has
developed without material increase of
clerical force Of the commission, except
for temporary details. Since March
there has been almost treble the amount
of business as compared with similar
periods in the past.

Rich Discovery Of Gold on the
Fort Meade Reservation,
South Dakota.
Orders Had Been Issued to
Open t1e Land to Entry
by Settlers.
Finders Now Anxious to Know
If Their Rights Will Be
Recognized.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.-1t has just
leaked out at the war department that
important gold discoveries have been
made on the government wood reserva.
ton near Fort Meade, 8. D., in the
Black Hill Is district. These discoveries
were made by the army officials sta
toned at the fort, and they have been
been brought to the attention Of the de-
partment in an unusual and peculiar
manner. The wood reservation near
Fort Meade was set apart when the post
was established. It is l6 miles square
and at the present time it is entirely de-
nuded of timber and useless for the pur-
pose for which it was created. Some
time ago body of officers appointed for
the purpose recommended to Secretary
Alger that the reservation be turned
over to the interior department for
Disposal to Settlers
under the land laws. After this report
was sent in, several officers of the
Eighth cavalry, among them Major
Wells, discovered gold in large quanti-
ties on the reservation. They are nat
urally anxious to know whether they
will be protected in their discoveries
and locations if the reservation is turned
over to the interior department. and
thrown open for location. This is a
matter which must be decided by the
latter department, and as the case is an
unprecedented one, great interest at
taches to the decision aside from its
general importance in opening up a
new and important gold field.

CLEVELAND, Aug. 18.-The operators
of the Pennsylvania coal mines held q
meeting in this city during the day. 1t

Not Believed Canada Will Inflict Hard

WASHINGTON, Aug. l8.-lt is not be-
heved by government officials that any
serious hardships will be imposed by
Canada upon American miners in the
Klondike gold regions. While it is said
there has been no correspondence bear
ing directly on the point of impositions
upon the American miners there is an
intimation that Canada desires to be
very friendly as to Northwestern con-
ditions and that there is disposition to
cooperate so as to further the best in.
terests Of all concerned. It is stated
that in imposing the 10 per cent royalty
on the gold output equally on Canadians
and Americans the United States can
have no cause for complaint.

President McKinley's commission is

Believed the De Arnlitts VIII Try to Start
@ Up With New Men.
PITTsBURG, Aug. lS.-The strike Lead
ers, for some reason have decided to
abandon the idea Of having meeting
Of the heads of the different labor or.
CARNATIONS to devise ways and means
of battling with an adverse ruling OF
the court on tho injunction. President
Dolan says a meeting Of the officers
may be held on Thursday, but IT 1t is it
will be for another purpose. There is q
rumor current that the De Armitts have
arranged for the importation OF 200
foreign workmen next Monday to work
in the Turtle creek and Plum creek
mines. This is denied by Thomas Dc
Ar1nitt, who says the company has
enough men working, and that there IL
no need of importing other miners. In
spite of all denials, however, it IS be-
lieved that the New York and Cleve-
land Gas Coal company will give notice
to all strikers that they are willing to
re-employ all the old hands and should
the strikers not choose to return to work
within few days, the company will
try to employ some who will work.
The contemplative plan to have the
women make marches has been deli
nitelv decided upon by the leaders. and
the wives and daughters Of the strikers
will now take up the work which the
men have beer, enjoined from doing. 1t
is the intention to begin at once and
have the women do the marching while
the men remain in camp. The leaders
think the injunction is not operative
against women, and it remains to be
seen what the outcome will be.
