Many Indications That the Cleveland
Rsstes gtI Be Orerturned.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 15.-It
was reported about the departments to-
day tha. President Mckinley would make
an order modifying the civil service rules
of the Cleveland administration so as to
permit wider field for appointments.
Some indications that Cleveland's rules
are not to be allowed to stand have been
furnished by the action of several heads
OF departments. A list of all soldiers who
left their places or were reduced in grade
under Cleveland's two terms. and whose
successors are now sheltered by the civil
service, is being prepared at the War De-
partmen;, and number of changes will
follow when Secretary Alger gets through
examining it.
Secretary Gage has reinstated a mum.
ber of clerks in the Treasury Department
who were dismissed or reduced under
Democratic rule. In nearly every case
the person displaced was retained on the
rolls in some other position by Gage, but
tom orrow a mum ber OF treasury employees
will be dismissed outright. Representa-
tive Grosvenor of Ohio, one Of McKiniey's S
close friends. said to-day lie was con-
fident that the President would in due
season modify the civil service orders of
his predecessor. Grosvenor is particu-
larly anxious to have memb bers of the
pension examining boards taken out of
The classified service. He said South

ARRANGING TRE COMMITTEES.
Democratic aud kepubtfcan Steerers
Hold n Conferences.

dotu conference.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April Is. The
Democratic and Republican steering COM
mittees held another conference to-day, at
which the latter presented a counter
proposition for that proposed yesterday
by the Democrats in filling the commit
tee vacancies by the mem bers OF the same
political faith as former incum bents. This
was that the Republicans be given control
of the Appropriations and Postoffice COM
mittees. which have to date more or less
partisan questions. by including Silver
Republicans and Populists thereon as
mem bers of the minority.
On the tirst-named committee the va
cancies are caused by the retirement of
Call, Blackburn and Price, Democrats;
but as Senators Teller and Pettigrew, who
were classed as Republicans when the last
apportionmept was made, now vote
with Democrats on leading Issues, Repub-
Hcans insist that they should be counted
as mem bers of the opposition. Were this
done one vacancy would be filled by a
De ocrat, while the Republicans could
take care of two of their number. The
Republicans would then control the COM
mittee by a vote of to 8. So, too, with
the Postoffice Committee, where all the
Democrats and one Republican have re-
tired, and under the Democratic plan But
ler, the Populist, would hold the balance
of power.
The Democratic steering committee took
the matter under consideration and will
report conclusions at another conference
tomorrow.
