person employed in any grade shall not
be barred from the open competitive ex-
animation provided for original entrance
to any other grade.
The fifth paragraph of rule X provides
that there shall be no transfer from an

All these provisions, it is said at the De-

defeated.
Clerks point out various fragrant viola
tions of the civil service act. particularly
of section IL, under the caption Political
Assessments" This section follows:
That no senator or representative. or
territorial delegate of the Congress, or
senator, or representative. or delegate
elect. or any officer or employe of either
of said houses. and no executive, judicial,
military or naval officer of the United
States, and no clerk or other empioye OF
any department. branch or bureau OF the
executive. judicial or military or naval
service of the United States shall, direct
" or indirectly, solicit or receive, or be In
any manner concerned in soliciting or re-
ceiving. any assessment, subscription or
contribution for any political purpose
whatever from any officer, clerk or en-
ylloye of the United States, or any depart
uient, branch or bureau thereof, or from
any person receiving any salary or COM
pensation from moneys derived from the
Treasury of the United States
Sections u. lS and IA are framed to pre-
vent the change of rank of a clerk for
either giving or Withholding political con-
tributions.
Section 10 provides a pehaity ior 'ioia-
tion of the law.
Not twithstanding all this. the clerks
make contributions to campaign funds
and understand that II they neglect to do
so they are liable to fall under official
disfavor.
1t is held that section is also subject

yjdes that whenever there are already
two or more members of family in the
public service in the grades covered by
this act no other member of such family
shall be eligible TO appointment to any OF
said grades.
In view of the violation of the sections
recited. the employees see great danger in
the proposal to transfer the board of PEN

FLYING MACHINE IN WAR.
Experiments Decided on by the
board of FOrtiGcatiOns.

Experiments Decided on by the
hoard of FortillcatiOns.
The board of ordnance and fortifications
have decided to investigate the possibili-
ties of flying machines for accommodating
purposes and as engines of destruction in
times of war. Prof. Langley, of the
Smithsonian Institution, and the inventor
of the aeroplane, recently appeared be-
fore the board and gave his expert opin-
ion, which was favorable to the work
of experimenting.
The board has decided to expend the
sum of $4,000 with view of perfecting
some aerial contrivance for military pur-
poses.
The experiment will be under the charge
of Gen. Greedy, who. with the aid of
Prof. Langley, will make Investigations
of the various foreign inventions.
Prof Langley has been very successful
with his own flying invention. and 1t is
his intention to turn it over TO this Gov
ernment with the understanding that he
will receive no compensation whatever
except the benefits that may accru to
his country and science.

There Is swift change going on in the
building of modern structures in Florence
and many Italian cities" said S. t. How
land, of Denver last night at the Metro
politan. Mr. Rowland has spent some
months in Europe and recently visited
many of the cities in the south of Italy.
The molding and rickety buildings
which, with the quaint people that inhabit
them, give life and color to the average
Italian city are altogether missing in the
city of Florence. Its time-worn and
weather-beaten structures are being
pulled down and modern buildings erected
In their stead. One may now see whole
blocks of these new buildings with white
walls glaring and with blinds and shut
tiers painted green. The monotony of the
thing is something awful and the very an
tithesis of the variety of scene and color
which one generally sees in other parts
of Italy. That portion of the city which
was the Ghetto, or the Jewish quarter,
several years ago has vanished, and in
lieu of 1t We find the monotony and stiff
ness of the modern Italian type of archi-
lecture. When l was in Genoa scores and
even hundreds of venerable houses and
several churches were, being swept away
in order to give the seity a modern thor

is located on the summit of one of the
highest hills behind the city. 1000 feet
above the level of the sea. The hill is
very steep and when one looks over the
precipice 1t seems as though he would fall
into the city below. AFlarge restaurant is
run in connection with the roof garden
and the veranda is spacious enough to
seat more than a thousand persons COM
fortably at one time. There are likewise
billiard and pool rooms and every modern
convenience. The place Is entirely unlike
anything We have In this country and can
be reached from the center of Genoa by
means of railway, which makes the as
cent of the hill in a few minutes -
