A Denver Dugler Took Part In the
Famous Charge.

~ DCnNer UuHicF TOOK luFt IN NnC
Famous Charge.
The news of the war in the east stirs.
up the fighting blood of Alexander
Sutherland, living in retirement in this
city, for, although 81 years old, his
memory is still keen, and he delights
in relating again and again the part he
took in the famous charge of the Light
brigade. There may be other surviv-
ors Of that desperate race down the val
ley between hills bristling with guns,
but Alexander Sutherland insists upon
being credited with the honor Of blow
ing the bugle that started the Light bri-
gade upon its Inflated mission.
"The COO men who were selected for
this charge" said he, ''were divided into
three platoons. two companies TO each
platoon. Each company had its own
buglc6, making six in all. AS l was
with Lord Cardigan in the first platoon,

orders. / sounded the charge of that
eventful day, and, following my bugle,
the others repeated the call. We had
teen idle spectators of the general en-
gagement that day. and were waiting
for orders from Lord Raglan. The or
der came after n time. 1t was TO Lord
Lucan to order up about GOO light cav

the guns which the Turks had lost on
Causeway heights. Lord Lucan await
ed support from the infantry before
advancing. A second order came from
Lord Raglan, brought by Capt. Nolan.
directing the cavalry to charge to pre-
vent the Turks carrying away their
guns. Lord Lucan asked what guns to
attack, and Capt. Nolan replied:
"'There, my lord, is your enemy, and
there are your guns pointing with his
hand to the left and toward the end Of
North valley. and not toward the
Causeway heights.
lord Lucan then rode over TO Lord
Cardigan to give orders for the charge.
I was near by on foot, holding my
horses bride rein. and heard the con-
versation between Lord Lucan and Lord
Cardigan. They did not seem to inter
pret the order of Lord Raglan in the
same way. Lord Cardigan explained
| to Lord Lucan that there were guns in
the valley ahead as well as on both
| sides of us, and he thought that there
| must be some mistake, but Lord Lucan
| replied that that was the order of Lord
Raglan. and there was no choice but to
obey.
Lord Cardigan assented. Twas about

vigorously. Turning to me. he said;

CIVIL SERVICE RULES.
The President and the Commission
Consult as to Their Revision.
no MAKE SOME CHANGES IN THEM.
Important Places May he Placed on the
Excepted List--Action VIII No
Doubt Be Soon Taken
In the Matter.

Washington, July 10.-The president
and the members Of the civil service
commission have had a number Of con-
'ferences recently on the question of
revision Of the civil service rules so as
10 exempt certain important places
which were included in Mr.. Cleveland's
last extension order. A final determi-
nation, however. has not been reached
but II is altogether probable that about
n 300 places Will be taken out of the clas-
I Isified service.
These will include deputy collectors
Of customs who are in charge of sub
stations and deputy collectors Of inter-
nal revenue who have charge Of the dis
tribution of revenue stamps. There are
approximately 100 of these places in
each class. 1t is not proposed, however,
to exempt the places from examination.
Contrary to the usual course, tentative
appointments will be made as needed,
and the appointee will then be ordered
before the civil service commission fof
examination To test his fitness. In case
Of failure to pass a perfectly satisfac-
tory examination his name must be
withdrawn and another appointment
made.
It IS argued that the positions which
II is proposed to restore to the excepted
list are of great Importance and that az
the stations of these officers are often
far removed from that of their chief,
who alone is responsible for their acts,
he should have some voice in their Sc
lection.
The bonds furnished the government
by collectors of customs and collectors
of Internal revenue cover all funds
passing through the hands of agents
and deputies. and 1t is contended that
1 It is unjust to hold a collector RESPONSE
bic Cor the honesty of a man of whom
he knows nothing. 1t is probable that
the president will take action in the
matter within the next few days.

DEMAND FOR AMERICAN WHEAT
Reasons why There Is Good Mar
Eef I'm Australia.

ket I'm Australia.
The reason why so large n quantity
Of American wheat was imported into
Australia last year is explained by Dam
iel w. Maratta. United States consul
general at Melbourne. It appears that
wool-growing is regarded by Australi
ans as much the most important
industry, and in pursuing that the
Australian farmer is often led TO neg
lect the cultivation of wheat. As a
rule, the larger "squatters," or ranch
men, do not care to devote their time
to farming. preferring to give all of
their attention to sheep raising.
"The consumption of wheat in this
colony" writes Consul Maratta, sis at
the rate of six bushels to the acre, and,
as the crop of last year only yielded
2-10 bushels to the acre, it will
readily be seen that the colonists
were short of their requirements nearly
two bushels to the acre. To meet this
deficiency, the first for n great many
years, large imports were made from
the United States. These shipments
were made from San Francisco, with
the exception of one or two vessels
from New York" 1t is becoming q
common custom among Australian
ranchmen to rent their land for wheat
growing on shares, the ranchmen fur
nishing the land and the seed and some
reighboring farmer doing all the work
As the wool-growing industry, however,
is constantly tending to crowd out the
wheat cultivation, there is a prospect
that increased demands upon America
for wheat supplies will be made in the
future.
Mr. Maratta says: "It has been won
dered how it is that Australia can pro-
duce wool, and, for that matter, sheep.
Sc much more cheaply than America,
and the answer. too. is very simple.
First, the advantage lies in the climate.
Here you have climate where the
sheep can and do safely spend every
night during the year in the open air
and without covering. Then the pas
turage is unlimited and virtually free.
The cost Of labor is cheaper than with
us, and station living is cheaper, and all
these things combine to cheaper the
animal. You can purchase at q retail
butchers here in Melbourne prime
lamb and mutton at from five TO six
cents per pound. IN. Y. Tribune.
