SENSATIONAL TESTIMONY
Before the Senate Committee Iuvestigs-
ting the CIVIL Service Commission

ting the CtSi! Service Com m tssion
Washington, January 2s.-Rev. E. D.
Bailey chief clerk of the examiners
many years connected with that body.
frequently acting chief examiner, sub
mGtted some sensational testimony at
today's session of the senate civil ser
vice investigating committee. 1t was
a sequel 20 the charges he made Mon
day of intimidation and interference
by the commission with his testim1ny
He called attention to the bitter at
tack made on him then by president
Proctor, Of the commission. In a let
ter which he made public at the in
stance of the committee, addressed TO
Theodore Roosevelt, then New York
police commissioner, now assistant
secretary of the navy, the commission
was severely criticised. In an accom-
panydng personal 1e1ter he expressed
the hope that in any reorganization
the president might deem deSira bic to
make, Mr.. Proctor might be retained
in his position. This communication,
making startling charges, and which
created a sensation, follows, in brief:
The business OF the commission is
in the greatest confusion and is be-
coming more and more demoraEzsd for
want of intelligent management
Raquasition remain unacted on for
months and many complaints are made
by the departments Of delays and an
nUyances detrimental to the service.
In such cases temporary appointments
were authorized and after ninety days
made permanent, although no rule eX-
lists permitting such action These re-
uufsitions probably cover several hun
dred places. In ONE batch thirty-two
appointments in the marine hospital
service We're reported, for which no
authority existed and the only excuse
was the failure of the commission to
provide registers. The navy depart
ment recently appointed fifteen steel
inspectors without examination or
certification by the commission and
the department has requested the
commission to make the appointments
regular by issuing certlflcaUOns- NO
action ON these has yet been taken.
The engineer service at large has made
requiaitions to fill hundreds of places
and 40 provision has yet been made
to MEET the demands A number or

classification, without examination. NO
ATTEMPT has been made to meet the
needs of the ordinance department
and Irregularities and questionable ap-
pofrtrnents have been so numerous
that the rules have almost lost their
force and the alleged law of necessity
It's pregnant. and want of uniformity
exists in all the business of the COM
mission and the greatest uncertainty
prevails.
'"The present condition lis thoroughly
alarming. Disaster cam be aveu7ted
only by immediate remedial action
and at least three changes in the office
should be made at once, not fer pOliti-
cal reasons but in the interests of the
service"

CLEVER SIAMESE GIRLS.
Those Trained I'm Dancing Can Pick
Up Strnvs with Their ExeIfdn

Those Trained I'm Dancing Can Pick
Up Straws with Their EyeIids.
The dancing girls of Siam are re-
markable for the agility and grace of
their movements. The cup dance is the
prettiest and most poetic of all. row
of young girls, with tier of cups on
their heads, take their places in the
middle of the great hall. A burst of
joyous music follows. On hearing this
they simultaneously, with military pre-
cision, kneel down, fold their hands and
bow their heads until their foreheads
almost touch the polished marble floor,
keeping thecups steadily on their heads
by some marvellous jerk of the neck.
Then. suddenly springing to their feet.
they describe a succession of rapid and
intricate circles, keeping time to the
music with their arms, head and feet
Next the music swells into a rapturous
tumult. The dancers raise their delicate
feet, curve their arms and fingers in
almost impossible textures, sway to and
gro like withes of willow, agitate all the
muscles of the body like the hutter of
leaves in the soft evening breeze, but
still keep the cups on their heads.
The daneing girls of Bangkok are al
ways exercising in the royal gym
nasium. Their ages vary from FIVE 10
twenty years. The curious and subtle
feat of picking up bit of straw with
the eyelids can be learned only by the
youngest of them, who are made to
practice it in order to render them
flexible in every part of the body. There
are two long rows of benches, one lit
tie higher than the other. On the
lower is row of little girls and on the
upper bench are laid the polished bits
of straw. AT the sound of the drum the
little girls al together bend back the
head and neck until they touch the bits
of straw, which, with wonderful deN-
terity, they secure between the corners
of their eyelids.-London Modern So
ciety.

and very few think of pleasure,

Since writing the above, the
weather has continued warm, and
the travel increased. The snow
disappeared from the road for
eight miles, and mud has taken
its place, and prices have ad-
vanced from SIS per ton to $40,
so this makes the teamster hap
Ply, as any good team can haul
from twenty-five to thirty hun
dred per day. There is over 200
tons go up the road every day.

and almost as many patterns of
hand-sleds hauled by men and
women; sleds with sail; sleds
pulled with block and tackle, and
yet the rein deer coming.
The Klondike relief expedition
is here with three companies of
blue coats, and two companies at
Skaguay, but they do not move
as yet for the interior, and rumor
says it will be called off.
Quite number of deaths have
occurred here and at Skaguay
with spinal meningitis, which
the doctors attribute to the i'm
pure water, and recommend that
all water be boiled before using.
An attack means death so far.
Late reports from the interior
claims good mines are being dis
covered on the Little Salmon,
about half way from here to
Dawson, and the report comes
through the Canadian police, so
that some reliance can be placed
on it.
