THE CIVIL sERVICE RULES.
Letter Addressed to Mckinley Concern
 ing the Rumored Change.

Chicago, Nov. 6.-The executive com mittee of the Citizens association, an organization irrespective of party, has addressed letter to President McKin- ley in reference to the rumored change in the rules governing civil service ap- pointments, by which "a large number of offices will be thrown open to the partakers of political and departmental favor," The committee says: In view of the expansion of our national territory now in progress, and the largely increased force of civil servants necessitated thereby, it appears to us that careful guarded application of the rules governing the appointment to office will more than ever before be needed to secure the best equipped men for the service of the nation and for the protection of the appointing power itself against the opportunities of per- tinacious unqualified applicants for po- sitions under the government"

NEWFO UNDLdND GARNET CRISES.
The Governor Demands Resignation of
 the Finance Minister.

St. Johns, N F., Nov. 6.-There is a serious cabinet crisis in Newfound- land. Governor Murray demands the resignation of MT. Morrine, minister of finance. The ostensible reason is that MT. Morrine is the general counsel of MT. Reid, the railway contractor, hut the real cause is the continued friction between Governor Murray and the min
 ister. Mir. Morrine in tend '.ng his resignation points out that ST William Wh;teway, a former premier, and N:essrs. Emerson and Morris, members of the late cabinet, held a similar re- lation to the contractor and that Sir Herbert Murray acquiesced in the ar rangement in all three cases. He re- minds the governor also that he has been aware ever since April last that his (Morrine's) relation to MT. Reid and insists that the governors omission to interfere before stamps his action now as personal and vindictive. It is feared that complications will arise, wrecking the cabinet and seriously pre- judicing the negotiations regarding the French shore treaty already under way before the conference for the settlement of disputes between the United States and Canada.

 Have 100000 Plurality.
Action of Grand Jury.

New York, Nov. 6.-Chairman Quigg of the republican county committee gave out the following statement to- night: After careful consultation with each of the assembly district leaders of the republican party of the county of New York and with their authorization the estimated vote to be case in New York county for Roose- welt is 138,000. In view of the decreased registration we believe that the demo- crats will not be able to poll vote for Van Wyck in excess of 1000. We be- lieve that the greater city of New York will give Roosevelt a majority. We shall carry the Fifth. Eighth, Tenth, Nineteenth, Twenty first, Twenty third, Twenty-fifth, Twenty-seventh, Twenty ninth, Thirty-first, Thirty-fourth and Thirty-fifth assembly districts. We be- lieve that the entire judiciary ticket of the republican party will be elected. Reports from election districts show that the vote for judiciary ticket will exceed the vote for the state ticket by from 10000 to 15,000 The estimates HpTe nldue are DdSeu upon llle ClUSSSl canvasses that are to be made in the election districts. If these estimates are correct, as we believe them to be, Roosevelt will carry the state of New York by not less than 100000.
 Colonel Roosevelt left Jersey City to- night for his final tour through the state. He will arrive at Horhellsville some time tonight and tomorrow will make his final speech of the campaign.

VIII be Determined Very Largely by
 To-mnrroyyss Election.


 Washington, Nov. 6.-The control of the United States senate will be deter mined very largely by the results of the election next Tuesday, when twenty three states elect legislatures which will in turn select senators. The pres ent party. strength in the senate is: Re publicans 43, democrats 34 populists 6, silver republicans G. This gives ma jority to no one party and it has proved a fruitful source of doubt in legislation influenced by party lines.
 The terms of thirty of the present senators are about to expire, and in most of these cases the legislatures chosen next Tuesday will elect success sors. In seven cases, however, legisla- lures already have been chosen and senators elected, viz: Aldrich of Rhode Island. Daniel of Virginia, McComas to succeed German tn Maryland, Hanna of Ohio Money of Mississippi, Proctor of Vermont and the legislature of Maine. which has been elected, but has not vet chosen a senator. In Oregon also Simon has been elected to fill a vacancy. These changes already made give a net gain of two in the republican vote-McComas of Maryland and Simon of, Oregon. The remaining twenty-three senators are yet to be chosen. Those who are about to retire are: Allen, populfst. of Nebraska; Bate, democrat, of Tennessee; Burrows, republican, of Michigan; Cannon, silver republican, of Utah; Clark, republican, of Wyoming; CockreI, democrat, of Missouri; Davis, republican, of Minnesota; Faulkner,

 Havana via Key West, Nov 5.-(De- layed in transmission-Alfre Betan- court, a British subject born in Jamai- ca, was assaulted on Tuesday last by a Spanish officer who struck him on the side of the head for wearing a gold scarf pin in the shape of five pointed star. The officer ordered Be- tancourt under arrest and sent him be- of Havana, who ordered him imprison- ed MT. Jerome British vice consul, on being notified of the assault, pre- sented himself at the captain generals palace to present a protest against an act of brutality and to demand he inn mediae release of Betancourt. General Blanco at first attempted to put MT. Jerome off Then he said it would be an extremely difficult matter to release the prisoner as he had not been arrest ed by the Ordne Publico, but by an army officer and had been sent to jail by the military governor. But MT. James maintained firm attitude, in- sisting that he would remain at the palace until Betancourt was released. Finally his persistence was successful. After an interchange of messages be- tween General Blanco and General Aro- las, MT. Jerome all the while refusing to budge from the palace, Betancourt was released at late hour
 These are the bare facts of an assault
 which, under other conditions, might pass with slight notice, but which is
 significant, coming on the heels of g threat made by General Arolas to get even with Englishmen in Havana be- cause of a protest recently made by NJ MacLean, manager of the marine rail- | way owned by an English company | against the use to which the railway stations had been put by the Spanish | soldiers stationed near The conduct oi I the soldiers was grossly indecent ant | excited the indignation of everybody I living in the vicinity of the stations | When MT. MacLean lodged his com. l plaint General Arolas, who is extreme. 1 ly hostile to the English as well as the 1 Americans, declared that he would ge | even with the Saxon rabble."
