ST. PAUL WOMEN SHOCKED
When They Learned That Volun-
teers Were Unprovided For.

To The st. Paul Globe:
Please allow me space to say word in
regard to letter. signed 81. H. Sheets"
which appeared In your columns today,
criticising the patriotic societies for not pre-
pairing reception for the volunteers who ar
rived in this city on Friday morning last.
The Daughters OF the American Revolution,
the Colonial Danes, In fact all the women Of
ST. Paul, would have been only too glad to
have met the boys and given them a hearty
breakfast had they imagined for one mo-
ment that the proper authorities would not
nave attended to it. That no preparations in
the way OF food and shelter had been made
by GOV. Clough for the reception of his
troops, came as shock to the women of st.
Paui, and while patriotic societies were not
instituted to assist negligent state officials,
they would have been CAD to have made
amends Tor the illtreatment received by the
volunteers from the chief executive of the
state.
would like to say to your correspondent
that patriotism is sentiment inspired by love
OF country, good government and protection
or citizens. That our national guard were
Obliged to go hungry on the day Of their
muster was revelation to. U.S. and the
daughters Of the American Revolution have
since done their best to make life easier for
the brave volunteers at Camp Ramsey.
l feel assured that Mr.. Sheets has suffered
no personal inconvenience

A Thing or Two.

War Is infiammable! The United
States nation is embarked upon mis-
sion of war! Whether justifiably or
not, it remains for history to record.
There will undoubtedly be heroes made
during this war, but the honesty Of in
tention and purity Of motive which in
spire the onslaught in favor Of Cuba
must be judged when the war is ended
Meanwhile the country must expect
to encounter complications Of serious
character. The first was developed
yesterday in the capture and subse-
quent release of the French steamer
Lafayette, which was heading for the
port Of Havana when overtaken by our
fleet. The idea of taking into possess
sion large steamship Of a great ma
ton, with whom we are on friendly
terms, must necessarily open the eyes
of every one to the reality of existing
war. 1t seems almost shocking.
The president, in his message Of April
%, clearly said: "Any neutral vessel
approaching any of said ports, or at
tempting to leave the same without no.
tice or knowledge Of the establishment
Of such blockade, will be duly warned
force, who will indorse or have regis
tered the date Of such warning and
where said warning was made, and If
the same vessel shall again attempt to
enter any blockaded port, she will be
captured, ETC."
There is strong liability to error on
the part Of naval officials, who, out on
the ocean, regard every ship an object
OF prey which does not come to
promptly on call and surrender. no
matter whether the passengers are
spies or the merchandise is contraband
of war. In the War Of the Rebellion the
Trent affair was probably the most
brilliant illustration of American fair
ness and honesty that was ever given
to the nations of the world. There is
no question that in that instance this
country was wrong; and through the
superlative wisdom of Secretary Sew
ard and Abraham Lincoln a diplomatic
point was settled to the everlasting
honor of both this country and Great
Britain.

NO TROCHA FOR HANNA
THE CIVIL SERVICE RULES ARE
BRUSHED ASIDE

BY the Ohio Senator in Securing the
reau of Statistics of o. p. Austin,
the Editor of Republican Cam
paign Literature-Not Hanna's
First Victory Over Reform.
Special to The st. Paul Globe.
WASHINGTON, May 6. - Senator
Hanna has again played a long hand,
and this time lands the man who sends
out ready made editorials from Room
1. Glover building, to the Republican
brethren. The civil service regulations
are rudely brushed aside and all prece-
dent violated by the removal of
Worthington G.. Ford, who for years has
been recognized as the most accurate
statistician in Washington, and o. P.
Austin, of Room 1, Glover building, is
to succeed him. The position from
civil service rules as extended by Pres
ident Cleveland. To the world at large
it is known as chief Of the bureau of
statistics of the treasury department.
In the section Of the revised statutes,
however, which authorizes it's creation
it appears simply as a division clerk"
to be appointed by the secretary of the
treasury to "superintend the bureau"
The question is likely to arise there
for, how Secretary Gage i is going TO
get Mr. Austin into the position vacated
for him. as he is not now in the civil
service. But Mr.. Hanna can settle
that as easily as he did the appoint
ment of c. r. Mccoy, Of South Da-
kota, to civil service position. Nc
Coy never took an examination. He was
not in the eligible list, and yet hun
dreds of weary, waiting and competent
citizens who have passed postoffice
inspectorship examination, are Won
dering how Mccoy was placed" Mr..

agents still have hopes of securing
better rate for the transportation of the

The government has also informed
Chairman Blanchard that the soldiers
