5000 FEDERAL OFFICES
To Be Taken from Civil Service Rules by
Presidential! Order.

Washington, oct. Pit is understood
that a Presidential order exempting a
iarge number of government offices
from the operation of the civil service
rules will be promulgated. probably
shortly before Thanksgiving day.
AS at present determined upon the
order will effect upwards of 5000 places.
1t will include deputy collectors of in
ternal revenue who are authorized TO
become acting collectors actually serv-
ing in that capacity. There are about
1000 of these deputies.
The largest class affected is the
corps of examining surgeons of the
pension bureau of whom there are in
all over 410G Over 5000 of these sur
geons are stated at the civil service
commissioners office never to have
been classified under the civil service
law The order will clear up the mis-
apprehension as to the actual status
Of the whole corps and place them all
outside.
There are other scattering positions,
including some of confidential char
acter, which will aggregate possibly
several hundred. This is the scope OF
the order as now outlined in official
quarters. but it is subject to further
modification before being finally passed
upon.

ON THE WRONG TRACK.
Paris GauIois' Summary OF the Situation Was
Far from Correct.

Paris, Oct. 27.-After having referred
missions as not having arrived at any
solution regarding the Cuban debt, the
Gaulois, this morning, says:
THE situation is extremely strained,
owing to the increasingly aggressive
attitude of the Americans, and it is
even feared that if the Spaniards
should not decide to give way on all
points the negotiations will be broken
off in the course of the next meeting.
1T seems unquestionable that the
near approach of the American cleo
lions plays considerable roll in the
attitude of the Spanish delegates, who
have supposed that gaining time would
obtain better terms from their con-
querors. while just the opposite is hap
pening."
The Gaulois intimates that of the
Americans continue to show them
selves intractable towards the Span
iards a renewal of hostilities may pos
sibly be the ultimate result, especially
if the Spaniards. today, declare they
have arrived at the extreme limits of
honorable concessions.
The Gaulois then says: I'VE hope,
themselves. as we know sufficiently
we'll the sentiments of the American
nation, to be able to affirm that new
war would be regarded with disfavor
by all men of common sense and the
peace commission would, in bringing
it about. assume heavy responsibility
for the future

ers into Illinois. And if / hear that

So declared Governor Tanner in a
speech before 1900 people gathered al
the Knights of Pythias hall in this city.
1t was the concluding statement in an
address devoted to defence of his
course in the recent mine riotS at Vir-
den.
The Governor further said: when
the United States government found It
necessary to forbid the importation OF
foreign labor into this country, I felt
took at Virden. That trouble would
never have occurred if the negroes had
not been brought here to take the
places of white men.
1.-THE importations were representa-
tives of the scum of the country, eX-
convicts and worthless characters gen
orally, and the state of Illinois should
such reprobates.

tors to bring these people here, and l

DONS SURRENDER,
Agree to All American De-
mands Regarding Cuba.
Will Settle Cuban Debt and ReIinquish-
es All Title to the Island.
The Commission Will, Next Week, Take Up
Subject Of Philippines.

Paris, Oct. 27.-The Spanish govern
ment, through it's peace commission
has acquiesced in the refusal by the
United States to assume the Cuban
debt. Senior Montero Rios, the presi-
dent of the Spanish commission, and
his colleagues, with faithful insistence,
sought another result, but they have
finally agreed that the Cuban article
of the protocol shall without condi-
tons, have a place in the ultimate
treaty of peace.
Thus Spain agrees to relinquish SOW
ereignty over and all claim to Cuba
without either terms or conditions.
All questions regarding Porto Rico
and the selection of the island of Guam,
were also arranged, and the commits
sioners found themselves well nigh
touching the Philippine question,
which will be taken up next week.
Thus, progress has been achieved
and the Spaniards have learned that
the Americans purpose perfecting here
a peace treaty if direct methods, pa
tent effort and painstaking considera-
ton on their part can secure that re-
suit. The adjustment so far attained
is permanent accomplishment.
The session of the joint commissions
today, began ct 2 p. M, and lasted two
hours.
