"It is a pertinent inquiry in the minds
of the American people," exclaimed
Terry, 'and don't you forget it,
1T Is being considered by the proper
authorities" retorted Quigg.
Cooper Republican of wisconsin,
called attention to the fact that early
in the session during the consideration
of the diplomatic appropriation bill
Hit, chairman OF the foreign affairs
committee. had stated on the floor in
explicit terms that Spain had aban-
doned the policy of concentration. He
wanted to know why this inquiry when
the committee knew from Hits state
ment that the policy of concentration
had been reversed.
Quigg responded that this resolution
would put the house in complete pos
session of the facts. There was no eff
fort on the part of the minoriay to
contest the ordering of the previous
question and the resolution was adopt
ed without a dissenting voice. The
house then proceeded to the considera-

teenth day of the trial of Sheriff Mar
tin and his deputies. charged with the
killing of the strikers at Lattimer.
opened with John Pustion on the stand.
He testified:
II was with the strikers when the
shooting took place at Lattimer When
we approached the sheriff he walked
to the middle of the road and told Us
to stop. Some few of the men went
forward and / then heard two volleys
from the deputies. AS / started TO run

CIVIL SERVICE REPORT IN.
Commissioners Inform President Regard
ing Laws Operations.

Commissioners Inform President Regard
ing Laws Operations.
Washington, Feb. 15-The annual re-
port of the civil service commission for
the fiscal year which ended June 30,
1897, has been presented to the presi-
dent. 1t begins with a statement to
show that after an experience of nearly
fifteen years, the hoI 4 of the advo-
Gates of the civil service law have been
largely realized. In practice. the law
has proved to be constantly exerted
and effective force in the direction Of
economy. Considering the few changes
IN the service under the merit system
and the Wholesale removals under the
patronage system the economy and eff
cheney of the one standing striking con-
trast to the extravagance and ineffi-
cheney of the other.
Since 1888 (the year of the organiza-
tion Of the commission) the unclassified
positions which have been subject to
political control have increased in num-
ber 81 per cent. and in cost 43 per cent
while the classified positions subject to
examinations have remained at a
standstill. The large extension of civil
service rules in May 1896. to include
positions hitherto unclassified, the re-
port says, br,ighs to light a number
of unnecessary positions. Quite a num-
ber OF these have been abolished as a
measure of economy. The whole num-
ber of persons examined during the
year was 49,145 of whom 2S.593 passed
The number of appointments were 4,136
The commissioner the report says, has
been steadily making it's examinations
more practical Numerous complaints
have been made Of violation of the rules
of the civil service in the treasury de-
partueilt, the department. of justice and
the interior department.
In each case examinations have been
made by representatives of the commits
sion and such cases as appeared to be
violations of the law were referred to
the department TO which ii belonged.
In each case the commission has not yet
received a reply. The report speaks
highly of the promotion system based
on the efficiency record. which has been
especially indorsed by the navy de-
partment in the work in the yards. On
the other hand. the commission depre-
Gates the proposition of limited tenure
of government office, pointing out that
IL would not only impair the efficiency
of the service, but open the door for
political influence

WILL CARRY MAIL TO HAVANA.
Torpedo Boat Cushing Is to Transport
Messages from Key West.

Washington, Feb. 15.-It is now
known on the highest authority that
the real reason for sending the United
States torpedo boat Cushing to Havana
was that the Spanish authorities have
been tampering with mail sent to the
battleship Maine in Havana harbor.
This resulted in Captain Sigsbee Of
the Maine sending q protest TO Wash
ington, with a suggestion that rsgu-
lar service be established between Key
West and Havana by means of torpedo
boats. On the strength of this protest
the Cushing was dispatched to Havana.
Although IL has been frequently re-
ported that official mail has been tam
pered with, Secretary Long said that
he had received no reports from Cap
tain Sigsbee saying that the Spanish
authorities had interfered with his let
ters in any way
THE dispatch of the Gushing to Ha-
vana," he continued, was in line with
the departments action in sending the
Maine on a friendly visit to that port
and the Montgomery to Santiago de
Cuba and Matanzas / expect she is
now or will be soon on her way back
TO Kew West"

OvuNT KALNOKY DEAD
Former .Austro-Hungarian Pre-.
mier Passes Away.
His Controversy with Baron BanfYy, the
Hungarian Prime Minister, Which Re-
sulted I'm His Resignation Garrison at
Pari $ Reinforced by Troops from ver-
sailles ON Account OF the Feeling Exhib-
tied Over the Zola Trial.


Brunn, Feb. 15.-Count Gustav Sieg-
mund Kalnoky de Koros-Patak. former
Austro- Hungarian minister of foreign
affairs, Is dead.
Count Kalnoky. who was born at
LettowitZ, Moravia, Dec. 10, 1892, was
descended from the Moravian branch
of an old Bohemian family. He entered
the diplomatic service of Austria in
1850. From 1860 TO 1870 he was councillor
of legation at the Austrian embassy in
London. In 1874 he was minister at
Copenhagen; in 1880 he was sent as
ambassador to St. Petersburg, and in
1881 he was appointed Austro- Hungar-.
ian minister of foreign affairs. a post
he held with distinction until May 16.
1895, when he was succeeded by the
present Austro- Hungarian foreign min
lister, Count Goluchowski.
Cause of the Resignation,
The cause for his resignation was
found in Count Kalnoky's action In ref
erence to the denunciation of ecclesias-
tical laws by the papal nuncio at Vien-
ma, Mgr. Agliardi. who was charged by
Baron Banff, the Hungarian prime min
lister, with having made statements at
Budapest which amounted to interfer-
ence in Hungarian affairs. Baron
Banffy addressed a note to Count Kali
noky informing him that an interpella-
tion was about to be put forward in the
Hungarian parliament concerning the
utterances of the nuncio which had ap-
peared in the Hungarian newspapers
and had never been disclaimed by their
author Count Kalnoky replied that
the nuncio had displayed tactlessness.
overstepped the limits prescribed for
foreign diplomatic representatives, and
that a foreign office note ought to be
sent to the Vatican to complain of his
conduct.
Telegraphed His Approval.
He went so far as to sketch a COM
munication to the Vatican and the
Hungarian telegraphed his approval OF
1t. A few days after Baron Banff said
in the Hungarian parliament that the
PAL al nuncio's acts were not approved
in Vienna. AS soon as his speech was
recited to Count Kalnoky he tele-
graphed to Budapest that only part Of
his letter to Baron Banffy was for pub
lie knowledge; that the rest was con-
fidential, and that the protest to the
were made to reconcile the two minis
ters, but these We're unavailing. The
Hungarian house approved Baron
Banffy's attitude unreservedly and
Count Kalnoky resigned.

has been reinforced by troops from
Versailles. When the trial of NM. Zola
and Perreux was resumed Nj. Jaurez,

deputies was recalled. He reiterated
his belief in the culpability of Major Es-
terhazy. The examination of NJ. Ber-
tillon, the handwriting expert, was then
resumed. He said he thought II impos-
sible to ask the minister for war for
the incriminating documents seized at
the residence of Dreyfus In 1894 which,
according to the testimony of the wit
ness on Saturday last, would enable him
to prove that Dreyfus wrote the bor-
dereau.
NJ Laborie, counsel for NJ. Zola,
thereupon protested and twitted NJ.
Bertilion with being unwilling to tes-
tify in court. while giving Interviews
to the newspapers. NJ. Bertillion sai6
the interviews were false. Being
pressed by NJ. Laborie to show how,
unless he had seen the secret docu-
ments, he was able to prove at the
court-martial that Dreyfus wrote the
bordereau, NJ. Bertillion answered
that he could not explain without docu-
ments, which were no longer in his pos
session.
This statement caused a sensation in
court and NJ. Laborie demanded that
the advocate general compel the wit
ness to reply. The advocate general
made no answer. Finally NJ. Bertillion.
who persisted in not answering ques-
tions, left the witness stand amid con-
siderable uproar, M. Laborie remark
ing: And that is the man upon whose
evidence Dreyfus was convicted"
