TEST CIVIL SERVICE LAW.
Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue APP
pointed without Examination.

New York, Feb. 9.-Isaac Newman
has been appointed deputy collector of
internal revenue by Collector Ferdinand
Eidman of the third collection district.
The appointment was made for the pur-
pose of testing the federal civil service
regulations as applied to positions of
this kind. as IL has been held that no
deputy in the internal revenue and GUS
toms service could be appointed out
Of the eligible list Of the civil service.
The places have been tied up on this
account and the waiting ones have
grown impatient. 1t was at first at
tempted to prevail upon President Nc
Kinley to modify the civil service reg
ulations so as to put deputy collectors
and officers of a similar rank in the
non-competitive list. The president did
not feel inclined to interfere and as
there seems to be no hope of having
the civil service law changed by con-
gress at present the politicians were at
their wits ends how to satisfy their
impatient constituents. They resorted
to the Newman case as an expedient.

Judge Trying the Cases Receives a Threat
ening Letter.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Feb. 9.--Before the
trial of Sheriff Martin and his deputies
was resumed Judge Woodward stated
that he had received an anonymous let
ter stating that If he did not Go certain
things something would happen, and
threat was made. The judge said:
THE man who wrote this Will proba-
bly, hear what / have to say, and want
to tell him that he is scoundrel and
a coward, and that no such dishonora-
be means will in any way affect my
judgment"
Judge Woodward ruled out certain
evidence given Monday by John Cos
tello, a witness for the prosecution, and
which had been objected TO by the de-
fense. During the course Of Costello's
testimony he said he had said to Dep
uty Hess, referring to the shooting OF
the strikers. This is a nice thing you
have done"
Costello said he replied angrily
"Shut up, or I'll treat you the same
way" at the same time levling his rifle
at Costello's head Costello was then
recalled and asked 10 go on and tell
what he saw on the road from Farley S
hotel to Lattimer. He said that he had
seen eight woundedemen lying along the
road and three dead men. He said that
he did what he could for the wounded,
and that he had found no weapons on
any of them.
Evan Jones, the chief of police or
| West Hazleton, testified that the strik-
| ers reached West Hazleton on the aft
ernoon of the shooting and there met
| the sheriff and the deputies. They car
| ried a flag and talked rather loud, but
| they had no arms and made no dis
| turbance The sheriff told them that
| they could not march to Lattimer and
| that they must go home, whereupon
| he, Jones, induced them to go back and
| showed them how they could march by
( side street.
| John Lynch, the next witness, testi-
| fed that he was at West Hazleton wher
| the strikers arrived and that they were
unarmed and orderly. The sheriff told
some of the strikers they had better
] get out of the way as there was liable
! to be trouble IL they did not disperse.
The witness further testified thai
| Deputy Manly struck him with CUR
\ as he was moving off the street anc
| that another man had also been struck
One deputy pointed his gun at striker
and said: Il could get bead on tina
fellow" Deputy Ferry told man who
was sympathzing with a striker, whcs'
head was bleeding, that II he did no
shut up he would blow his head OF
Witness denied on cross-examination
that he had a black jack and tried t

WAR CLOUD LOWERING.
Crisis Is at Hand Between Spain and the
United States.

Crisis Is at Hand Between Spain and the
United States.
Madrid Feb. 9.-In official and private
circles but one expression is voiced con-
cerning the relations of Spain and the
United States. A crisis is at hand. No
concealment is made of the fact that
relations of the two countries have un-
dergone an unfavorable change and that
Spain is trying to gain help from Euro
pean powers, particularly on the tariff
question. Prominent officials. who
have been ever watchful. declare that
at no time has the situation been so
serious. Much of the present bitterness
NAV be attributed to the American
note of Dec. %, and the controversy
arising over the suddenness with which
Spain answered il. Viewed by Ameri-
cans. Spain renewed a quarrel that was
in a fair way of being averted by ne
gotiation Of commercial treaties.
Spaniards blame the United States
government entirely for the serious turn
of affairs. The Spanish government
could not remain cool over the attack
contained in the American note, and
could not withhold its reply without In
volving an indirect abdcation of Span
ish rights. 1t is pointed out that provo
cation has always come from Wash
ington and that the present quarrel was
started by the American government.
II further aggravated matters, accord
ing to the Spanish view, by first NOV
ing warships in manner that menaceo
the Spanish government.
