CIVIL SERVICE STANDS
The Cabinet Decides to Back
Up the Law.
MAY MODIFY CLEvELAND's ORDER.
Some Positions Ipoluded Might Better
Have Been Left Out-President No
Kiuiey May Take Action Regarding
Them-Reports to BE Made Soon.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.--The resolu-
calling upon the executive heads of
the several departments 6f the govern
ment for information COZ cerning the
application of the civil service law to
their departments and for an express
sion Of their opinions as to what il any
notifications ought to be made in it
has been under discussion by the oabi
net. All the members of the cabinet
were present except Secretar Alger
and there was no dissent from the
proposition that civil service law ought
TO be and would be upheld.
The principle of the system, in the
opinion of all, must be maintained, but
there was some difference of opinion as
to the extent Of its application. In
connection with the senate resolution
IL was pointed out that in some OF the
departments, notably those of the state
and the navy, comparatively few
changes could be made that would be
an improvement upon present oondi-
ditions. In some other departments
exceptions to the operation of the law
in the opinion Of the cabinet members
ought to be made. Some positions
they reported were included in the
blanket order of President Cleveland
that might better not have been in
cluded. In such cases, iso ated here
and there in several of the departments,
it would be in the Judgment Of the
heads Of these departments, be quite
proper for the president to modify Mr..
Oleveland's order.
While the system was pretty thor
oughly discussed, IL can be said upon
the authority of three members of the
cabinet that no definite policy was out
lined, beyond de ermination to main
tain the principle of the civil service.
No effort was made to adopt reply to
the senate that would embody uniform
express ons of opinion. IL is likely that
each member of the cabinet will pre-.
pare his reply in his own way, embody-
ing such suggestions as he may deem
proper, the replies to be well within a
definite scheme to be outlined later,

Report That England Has

Cry OF MExlco, Dec. 17.-Some time
ago when it was rumored that Brit.
ish warship had seized Clipperton
island local papers took the matter up
and there was some agitation over the
reported forcib occupation of N exican
soil. The foreign relations department
asked the war department. to send an
expedition TO the island to investigate
ii the british really had taken possess.
ion. -Four days ago the corvette FL
democrat, Captain TeofoIio Genesta,
left Mazatlan for the isiapd.
Should it prove true that the island,
which Mexico claims as belonging to
her, has beeu seized by the british. the
matter will be taken up automatically
for the purpose of recovering the terri
tory.
The Mexican Herald editorislly says /.
European nations are looking forward
to the time when by the weakness of
the great republic, champion of the
Monroe doctrine. they may proceed
under one pretext or another to carve
up So tn and Central America. If
the American people allow themselves
to be beguiled into unpreparedness for
war they will assuredly be caught all
unready by vigilant Europe and their
sea power destroyed, whereupon Latin
America will be seized as fox does q
fat capon. The same paper remarks
that Diaz' doctrine, which contem-
plates the eventual freeing of the new
world from every trace of European
control, 10 much broader than the Mon
roe doctrine and will become p Incl

MONEY APPARENTLY PLENTY:
Acting Comptroller Coffin Calls Atten-
tion to Large Note Retirement.

Acting Comptroller Coffin Calls Atten.
tion to Large Note Retirement.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-Mr. Coffin,
the acting comptroller of the currency,
has called attention to the fact that the
retirement of national bank notes dur.
ing the first 20 days of this month
reached the sum of $3.000.000. This is
said to be the first time during the last
ten years that the voluntary retirements
have reached this amount in any one
month. Under the national bank act
the United States treasurer is not
allowed to receive for the retirement of
circulation more than 5000, 900 in any
one month, and hence all deposits to
retire notes during the last ten days of
this month must be refused.
This exceptional condition. Mr.. Coffin
says, is due to the prevailing low rates
of interest, arising from superabund-
ance of money for investment, which
has advanced the price of United States
bonds. Mr.. Coffin expressed the opln-
ion that the law she uld be amended in
this particular as it interferes with the
elasticity Of the currency and the nat
ural laws of trade.

NEW YORK. Dec. 1.-THE return of
!. Pierpont Morgan from London has
not brought the steel wire aud wire rod
consolidation into immediate effect. as
some of the concerns interested thought
would be done. Mr.. Morgan evidently
wants to know something about the
status of the companies to be taken
over into the proposed American Steel
and Wire company, with it's $40, 900. 100
capital. The situation ut the present
time is that the leading wire mann
facturers, except the John A. Roebliug
company at Lorraine, have given an
option on their properties until April al
an appraised valuation.
IL seems that the manufacturer.
themselves are agreed that these valu
ations are conservative, but Mr.. Nor,
gan and his banking associates, whu
are to underwrite the consolidation
scheme, are conducting an independent
appraiSement. and have also begun an
examination OF the books of three year.
