WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-Soon after he
gets back from his vacation President Nc
Kinley will take up the long-deayed order
to modify the civil-service regulations put
in force by President Cleveland during the
last Democratic administration. This modi-
fication order was almost ready to be pro-
mulgated when the exciting scenes prelim-
mary to the war began to engross his at
tention. Civil service was put upon a shelf
for future consideration. 1t will be taken
down in a few weeks. The President in
formed a member of Congress. who called
upon him yesterday, that he would surely
do something in the matter in the near
future. He was asked particularly about
the Government Printing Office and said
with sigh that he did not know what he
would do about 1t. There was a time when
he had about made up his mind to take this
great establishment out of the civil service
but he now seems to be in doubt as to the
advisability of so doing. Senator Hoar has
small but influential party in the Senate
which is opposed to any change being made
in the Printing Office.

from the bedside of Ex-Governor Matthews
at $50 o'clock tonight was to the effect
that since morning there had been only the
slightest change in his condition, and that
possibly the hopefulness of friends alone
construed this change as an improvement
During the day the physicians aroused him
partially from the deep stupor which has
possessed him since the stroke yesterday,
but the report that he had gained conscious
ness during tho day is not confirmed by to-
nights report. which says that if there has
been any improvement it has been very
slight indeed. Mrs. Matthews and other
members of his immediate family have all
arrived, and are anxious watchers of every
symptom, and some movements of the
stricken man in their presence has indicated
to them something of recognition, but to the
hour Of this dispatch he had not spoken a
word since carried from the grove to the
residence
Medical attention was supplemented to-
day by Drs. Stone and George c. Kahlo, of
Indianapolis, the latter going to Shawnee
Mound via Lafayette, driving the distance
from there to the Meharry home DR.. Kahlo
was much encouraged on hearing here that
there were indications of returning con-
sciousness expressing the opinion that this
early Improvement was favorable to return
to health, but the last news does not bear
out the expectation. DR.. Stone is reported
to have said that the crisis will have been
reached within forty-eight hours, and he
does not hold out hopeful view of the
case,
There has been no suggestion of an at
tempt to remove the patient to his home
and until there has been very marked i'm
provement this is matter not to be con-
sidered. Great difficulty has been expert
enced tonight in getting communication
with Shawnee Mound, heavy rain, wind
and hailstorm in this sectioB this evening
Gripping the only direct telephone line and
making it possible to get word only by a
roundabout course. The point is so remote
as to be difficult of access by any process,
and the telephone exchange, as in all small
towns, closes at an early hour and remains
closed until morning.
Physicians who have seen the sufferer are
guarded in their statements but the infer
ence which must be drawn from their re-
marks is that a fatal termination is not I'M
expected. 1t is conceded on all sides that
Mr. Matthews will be either a permanent
mental or physical wreck if he should rally
from the attack.

a Nonunionist,s Test suit.

CHICAGO. Aug. 26.-John c. Whistler. a
stationary engineer employed by the con-
struction company now building the big
Thirty fourth-street interceptory sewer in
this city, has begun a suit in the United
States Court in this city which will test the
constitutionality of the city ordinance re-
quiring all work by and for the city to be
performed by union labor. Whistler is a
member of the National Association of Sta
t.onary Engineers. a body not affiliated with
the Federation of Labor, and, according to
the latter IS a nonunion man. In the city 8
contract with the construction company is
the regular clause providing that only union
labor shall be employed and declaring the
contract forfeited if nonunion labor is
used. According to Whistler's complaint,
ne has been notified by his employers that
unless he joined the union he must leave
rheir employ. The suit asking that the city
authorities be enjoined from demanding ms
discharge resulted: His. demand is based
on the plea that the ordinance is unconstl-
tutional, and, if enforced, would deprive
thousands of men of work.
