SECTION % OF TARIFF LAW.
All but One of Twenty Congressman
Profess Ignorance of the Change.

BOSTON, Sept. 9.-The Herald to-day
prints letters from twenty members of the
F'ifty-fifth Congress. representing almost as
many States, in reply TO a circular sent out
to secure the facts in regard to the passage
of the famous Section % of the Dingley
tariff bill With one exception, the writer's
profess ignorance of the amendment to Sec
ton o. Congressman Codding, of Pennsyl-
vania, says the change was called to his at
tention and he believed then and believes
now that it is all right, and that there was
60 trick or misunderstanding in the matter.
Congressman Lacey, of Iowa, says he ex-
amined the amended section and wondered
if ii was so skillfully drawn as to avoid ex-
listing treaties, as he supposed the treaties
would have TO be annulled TO make 1t opera
tive Senator Frye. of Maine says he does
believe that, as adopted. it repealed Sec
ton 4Z2S of the Revised Statutes, under
which the President has extraordinary
powers touching reciprocal rights, and that
neither the conference committee nor Con-
gress intended to provide by this law an in
vidious distinction as to the commercial
relations of our country with others. The
other replies contain various references to
the Kramer in which the bill was passed,
some complaining that it was rushed
throU ssh," others that it was struggled in
and denying knowledge of the clause in
question.

A CURIOUS STATE OF THINGS.

1t is a curious state of things that re-
quires the acting postmaster general to ask
an opinion from the attorney general as TO
the right of the former to make a change
of postmasters or to transfer a clerk from
one class of employment and salary to
other This condition of things has arisen
under the Presidents recent civil-service
order The order has given rise to some GU
rious cases. Charles w. Carr, who was SUI
perintendent of the branch postoffice at En-
glewood, ILL.,, a suburb of Chicago, resisted
an order of the postmaster general trans
ferring him to a lower place in the main
office in Chicago and obtained a temporary
injunction from United States Judge Jen-
kins suspending execution of the order until
such time as he could be heard. Carr in
sisted that his transfer to an inferior posi-
ton was a violation of the civil-service rule
established by President Mckinley, that a
person cannot be removed except upon
charges or cause assigned and opportunity
for defense. A similar case has just arisen
at Louisville, where one John G. Woods
having been transferred from the position
of superintendent of mails to a subordinate
against the postmaster general and First
Assistant Heath to prevent them from maxi
ing the change, on the ground that he was
not being transferred but was being de-
graded from the fifth to the third class.
with reduction in salary. Other cases of
the kind may have arisen, or are likely to,
and in order to be sure of his ground Act
ing Postmaster General Heath has sought
the advice of the attorney general. The real
question is whether a person holding office
is a bigger man than the President and
above the government If that is so. under
the civil-service rules as they now exist
the sooner they are changed the better,
and the power that made them, the Presi-
dent, can change them. In the cases cited,
the postmaster general or the first assist
ant represented the President, and to say
that they could not make the transfer would
be equivalent to saying the President could
not do 1t. 1t is to be noted that in these
cases there was no removal from office
though the incumbent chose to so construe
it, They were simply transferred from one
position in the postal service TO another,
presumably for the good Of the service.
What caused them to protest and resist evil
IDENTIFY was that the transfer involved re-
duction of salary, but it was no more re-
moval than If it had involved an increase of
salary. Civil-service rules promulgated by
the President become, for the time being,
part of the law, and should be observed
while they are in force, but it is not to he
supposed that the President would tie his
own hands or those of the heads of depart
ments so that they could not transfer per-
sons from one position to another in the
same branch of service. If the rules are
that tight they should be loosened. Mean
while. the United States district attorney at
Chicago has been directed to appear for the
postmaster there in the case before Judge

GUATEMALA In A BAD WAY.
Many Business Failures and the Pres
ident Very Unpopular.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 9.-News just
received from Guatemala is to the effect
that the country is in bad way financial
ly and politically. During last month the
following failures were reported: FREDERICK
Rachon, $S00,000; Lorenzo Eissen, 81, zoo, 900;
Enrique Mentze, $130000O; Ascoli & Co.,
100000 Bauer & Co., $780, 900; Victor Mat
theus, $2000,000; total, $70O0,0OO. All these
houses have been extensively engaged in
the expectation of coffee and other Central
American products and the importation of
merchandise. Besides, a great number of
firms have gone under for less amounts
The total is nearly $S,O00,O0O but is a tritie
misleading, however, because is represents
Central American money, which is very
much deprecated in value.
ReiHa Barrios, the man who was Presi-
dent and who declared himself dictator of
the republic couple OF months ago, is eX-
cessively unpopular because of his recent
Observation-Disclosures and crueltieS There is a
demand that Prosper Morales, a lawyer
and former minister of war. be chosen to

intends calling a session of the Assembly
very soon in order to have himself con-
firmed as dictator.s If he is successful war
is almost certain. BECAUSE the country will
not longer submit to his oppression. If he
is defeated war is just as sure, because
he cannot afford to be driven out of office.
FX-PreSident BarrillOS, who made it posi-
BILE for BarriOS to succeed him, has declared
he will never again draw his sword except
pose his financial operations. BarrioS is al
legged to have Killed a number of the more
prominent citizens of his country because
he thought they were not in sympathy with
him. Besides these, 243 men of lesser
prominence are said to have been slain by
his order.

BERING SEA ARGUMENTS
Sir Charles Tupperis Arguments Be-
fore the Commission.

HALIFAX, N s.. Sept. Sir Charles
HILBERT Upper continued his address to-
day before the Boring sea commission on
the subject of United States ownership He
continued his citations from the case of the
Virginus. He showed that the flag of the
vessel in that case was sufficient evidence
of nationality, and that the Interpretation
of the law in that case by the United States
was bad. Fraud had been practiced on the
United States by placing the vessel under
the protection of the flag OIL that country
which was fraudulently displayed on that
occasion, but the only country capable of
furnishing the offenders was declared to be
the United States and Spain had to pay
damages.
Mr.. Dickinson called the attention of the
commission to the fact that ii was not for
damages to the vessel that the award was
made but for the murder of the crew
Sir Charles laid before the commission
complete papers in regard to the Costa Ri
ca packet case. He quoted from the case
of Trent, and claimed that Mason and Sill
dell, though not British subjects were
promptly returned to a British vessel when
Cemand for the liberation was made by
England. Many other authorities were cited
and the speaker spent much of his time in
quoting from them.

American craftsmanship.

Senator Gallinger, of New Hampshire,
publishes an open letter in reply to recent
communication from Carl Schurz in which
he characterizes the distinguished German
as "one who is always at home to con-
troversy, and whose frequent migrations in
party and residential associations have
marked him as the wandering Jew of Amer
lean politics" The senator concludes his
peppery letter by asking: What have you
ever had to do with party organizations
except to betray them? From the time
when you were chief conspirator in the
Greeley movement of 1872 to wreck the Re-
publican party and destroy General Grant
when have you ever rendered it or any
other party disinterested service?" If the
correspondence continues it may become
personal.
