CLASSIFICATION OF OFFICES.
The President to Exempt "a Number o.
Positions.

The President to Exempt u Number Of
Positions.
The President will in g. few days issue
an important order in regard to the classi-
fication Of offices under the civil service
law. He has called upon the heads of each
OF the executive departments for state
ment OF such offices in their respective de-
partments. which may properly, in their
Judgment, be removed from the classified
service, governed by the rules Of the civil
service commission as to examination, etc
All the reports are now in, and it is under
stood that the President is about prepared
to announce his action
Although 1t lacks official authority, there
Is good ground for the statement that the
President, on the advice Of a large major
tty Of his cabinet. has practically decided
to restore the Offices Of chiefs and assist
ant chiefs of divisions and messengers and
assistant messengers in the executive de-
partments and many outside Offices to the
status th.y held before President Cleveland
included them in the classified service II
this is done all the Offices named will be put
IN the Class exempted from examination
and leave the appointments to them in the
hands Of the heads Of the respective de-
partments. as was the case up to the time
Of the issue Of President Clsveland's So
called blanket civil service order.
Another question that 8 engaging the Sc
rious attention Of the President and his
cabinet is the construction Of thu statute
requiring Of clerks and employees Of the ex-
ecutive departments seven hours labor q
day, with view to harmonizing the prac-
tice in all the departments

IMPATIENT FOR ACTION

BELIEF That Vigorous Action Will he
Taken In the House Tomorrow.
The greatest fmpatience for action is be-
ing manifested among members of tn.
House. The committee OF the republican
members who are insisting on immediate
Intervention held a citing today and
adopted resolution, with practical una
nimity, notifying the committee on foreign
relations that they would insist upon i'm
mediate Intervention and the recognition of
the independence of Cuba and that IL the
committee on foreign affairs did not report
such resolution they would themselves
present resolution for both Intervention
and independence and uss their utmost en-
deavor to pass it through the House. The
republican members Of the foreign affairs
committee are at great variance in their
views. Their meeting this morning with
the democrats and subsequently without
the presence of the democrats of the COM
mittee resulted In no agreement, and they
adjournsd until 3 o'clock. when they are to
make another effort to get together. The
eager among the republicans are insisting
that resolution should be reported today
The confusion of the situation is extreme.
The democratic members Of the committee
are Insisting on Intervention with recogni-
ton of Independence, as are the Cuban
sympathizers on the republican side of the
House.
1t Is announced that General Lee will
reach Washington at 2:15, and that after
calling on the President hs will go at once
before the Senate committee. His testi-
mony Is awaited with great interest and ex-
pectancy. 1T being believed that after he has
pl esented the evidence in his possession no
one will entertain the doubt that the Maine
was destroyed by Spanish officials This is
being used as an argument for delay until
tomorrow The belief is that there will be
no report before tomorrow and that when
the action comes 1t will be vigorous enough
to insure immediate Intervention and the
establishment of an Independent govern
ment In Cuba. It is explained that the ''ul-
timatum" sent by the pro-Cuban republi-
cans Of the House to the foreign affairs
committee does not mean by Independence
OF Cuba necessarily the recognition at this
time OF the present insurgent government,
but the recognition of Cuba as free from
Spanish sovereignty.
An agreement has substantially been
reached between the conflicting elements
both in the House and Senate foreign COM
mittees and resolutions are to be reported
tomorrow. The Senate committee has
agreed to the Foraker resolutions with the
recognition of the present Cuban govern
nent stricken out and the recognition OF
the freedom Of the Island of Cuba inserted
in its place and a preamble reciting the
destruction Of the Maine as a cause for
tie action Of this government.
The republican members of the House
foreign affairs committee got together
again just before 80. and 1t is understood
that they will adopt the same sort of
resolution and report tomorrow morning

SIXTEEN MOBILES.

Speaker Reed has finally became
Disguised vita the administration
and gives ven to the following.
The Senate is a nondescript,"
said he, and will do as it likes, but
the House is supposed to be Repub-
lican, and the country and party
would naturally expect it to follow
the policy Of the President, and l as
Speaker, could hardly be expected t O
lead a revolt. don't know, however
whether the House can be held or
not 1t LOOKS a though the BOYS
would get their he Is ant run away.
1t IS not the easiest Of tasks to hold
them to an Administration which
stands for sixteen wobbles to one pos
tive action"
In this grave hour of national crisis
the President of the United States has
been weighed in the balance and
found wanting. When Reed men
tons him as a man of ''sixteen wob-
bles to one positive action he ex-
presses the ideas of a nation. Everv
act OF Mckinley's during the last
campaign stamped him as a man
without ideas of his own or a person
with any definite purpose. Yet in
spite OF his glazing deficiencies he
was elected because he was the party
nominee, and today after he has tri-
fed with the people and become the
puppet of Wall Street, the party that
elected him would like to turn his
picture to the wall, but it is too late.
He has made the United States a
laughing stock among the nations of
the earth and covered his country
with dishonor.

Bailey, of Texas, voiced public sen
tlment, when he said in the House OF
Representatives of United States on
Wednesday:
No one could deny that the Presi-
dent had asked for authority to send
the Army and Navy to Cuba to restore
peace. When u forces arrived the
Spanlards would say I'VE are at
peace: our arms are stacked; it is the
Insurgents who are at war" Then
the agents of the President would be
compelled, under the authority he
asks, to say to the Insurgents: Stack
your arms; retire to the fields where
you have for three years struggled
with hire and sword to attain libertv."
Mark my words, no President that
sends the Army and Navy Of the
United States to force the patriotic
soldiers OF Cuba to lay down their
arms Will live, nor will his children
live, to survive the odium which the
American people will fix upon him.
A little of that sort of talk injected
into the Presidents message would
lit the mists of uncertainties that
hang over it.

Sick or Well, a Rush Night or Day.
The PACKERS AT THE BATTLE OF SANT1-
AGO DE CUBA WERE ALL HEROES
THEIR Heroic EFFORTS IN GETTING
AMMUNITION AND RAT1oNs TO THE
FRONT SAVED THE DAY.
P. E. Butler, of pack train No. 3,
writing from Santiago, De Cuba, on
July 23d, says: "We all had diar-
rhoea in more or less violent form,
and when we landed we had no time
to see doctor, for it was case of
rush and rush night and day to keep
the troops supplied with ammunition
and rations, but thanks to Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy, we were able to keep at work
and keep our health; in fact, I sin
cerely believe at one critical time this
medicine was the indirect saviour of
our army, for if the packers had been
unable TO work there would have been
no way OF getting supplies to the
front. There were no roads that a
wagon train could use. Ny comrade
and myself had the good fortune to
lay in a supply of this medicine for
our pack-train before we left Tampa,
and 1 know in four cases it absolutely
saved life."
