SUPERVISORS OF CENSUS.
Merit System of Appointment Urged
by CiviI-Service RefOrmers.

by CiViI-Servtce RefOrmers.
WASHINGTON Jan. 14.-Representatives
of the Civil-service League appeared before
the House census committee to-day and ar
gued against any bill which contemplated
having the appointments made outside of
the civil service. L. L. Siddons made the
first address. He insisted that the Civil
service Commission would have all the eli
gibles sufficient to make all the appoint
ments wanted in Washington. He said the
supervisors should be selected by competi-
tive examination under the direction of the
Civil-service Commission. He did not think
it would be practicable to have the enum-
orators so selected, owing to the fact that
local men in the different enumerating dis
tricts would have to be chosen, but claimed
that II men were selected for supervisors
under the protection of the civil service
they would select the enumeratOrS without
regard to political considerations and solely
with a view to their ability. The clerks in
Washington should also be under the civil
service.
William Reynolds, of Baltimore who fol-
lowed, said that the appointments, unless
placed under civil service, would practically
be made by senator's and representatives
and supervisors so selected would make ap-
pOintmentS of enumeratOrS under the direc-
ton of the senators and representatives. He
did not think 1t would be of any advantage
to have appointments made from both par
ties under a bipartisan system, as there
would still be politics brought in, to the
detriment of the service. Scarcely any one
has a good word for the last census" he
said. More complaints were made of the
last census than of any previous census
The general complaint was that men en-
Dloyed were not efficient"
Mr.. Heatwole asked if these complaints
could not be traced to poor pay and Mr.
Reynolds said he thought not, because there
were few complaints of the previous census
and he supposed there was not much diff
ference in the pay of the last and other

TO LEAVE THE SOUTH.
Scheme for COIOnizing Negroes I'm
Western States.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. Jan. 14.-An APP
plication was made to-day by S. L. Hutch
ms John f. Patton and other leading col
ored citizens in this city for a charter for
a national American colonization associa-
ton, the object being to organize branches
in the Southern States. The association is
formed with a view to colonizing negroes
in the West and securing from Congress
a concession to allow the colonies so formed
the right of state government and repre-
sentatives in Congress. The plan was or
ganized by S. T. HUtchins, a negro lawyer
of this city, who has given the question Of
what to do with the negro" great deal
of study. Hutchins was a circuit judge in
North Carolina during the reconstruction
days and it is said Of him that he came
nearer to giving satisfaction TO the whites
in his circuit than any negro who ever held
a like Office. Hutchins gives as a reason for
his proposed colony that the people OF the
United States should be given an oppor-
tunity to see whether the negro is capable
of governing and holding office"
The application for charter says that lit
is not fair to judge of the negro's ability
to conduct public affairs, to judge him by
the failures he has made in office in the
South. Given an opportunity when they are
negro will solve the question speedily as to
whether he is worthy of citizenship and to
be an integral part of the governing peo-
pie" Hutchins claims that number of
leading negroes of the South are in SYM
pathy with him in the movement.

LOYAL TO HIS CHIEFS
EsTERHAZY SAYS HE HAS REFUSED
MANY TEMPTING OFFERS.
Letter to the Court of Cessation Out
Give if Promised Protection.

PARIS, Jan. 14.-Major Count Esterhazy
has sent NJ. Nassau, president of the Court
of Cessation, a synopsis of the evidence
which he says he would have given at the
Dreyfus revision inquiry if a safe conduct
had been granted. He admits his relations
during 1S94-95, at the request of Colonel
Sandherr, chief of the informatio bureau.
with a foreign agent, by which the count
claims he supplied the colonel with impor-
tant information, enabling him to combat
the intrigues of an individual we'll known,
but whose position made it unsafe to act
openly against him" Esterhazy adds that
he was warned month ahead of Matthew
Dreyfuss intention and denounced it at the
instigation of Colonel Picquart./ Subsequent
to this he had the closest relations with his
superiors and acted throughout on their
instructions until Jan. Z, 1898, when. he
claims, the War Ministry suddenly assumed
a hostile attitude toward him. Fresh pro-
ceedings, the count asserts, were instituted
at the instigation of his cousin, with the
view of getting him out of the way and pre-
venting him from testifying before the
Court of Cessation. In conclusion Esterhazy
says: Alone, exiled abandoned by those
who should have defended me, have resist
ed the most tempting offers and have re-
FUSED 10 say or write word against my
chiefs. / hope the pain will be spared me
of having to appeal to the tribunal Of pub
lie opinion from the decision Of the Court
of Cassation.'
The Matin and the Gaulois this morning
say they understand that the inquiry of the
Court of Cessation into the Dreyfus case is
on the point of termination and that the
court will probably report that acts of trea-
son actually occurred, but that sufficient
proof Of the guilt of Dreyfus does not exist
and that his sentence therefore is quashed.
The papers add that there will be q fresh
court-martial. Dreyfus. it appears was in
time ago, but he is under the impression
that they are due to the initiative of the gen.
eral staff, and in his letter the prisoner
thanks General Boisdeffre, the former chief
of the general staff and his comrades of the
army for the action taken.

Meat Famine in south Africa.

WASHINGTON, Jan. flowing to the
terrible havoc of the rinderpest and the pro-
longed drought South Africa is threatened
with a meat famine. During the year ended
May 81 last, according to a report to the
State Department from United States Con-
sui Stowe, at Cape Town, no less than /, 400
OOO head of cattle were lost from these
causes, while in the same time the loss of
sheep was 2,OS6 0O0. In many districts the
drought has become worse since May. All
over the country the farmers are selling
their breeding stock for slaughter, and the
price of meat is rapidly rising. In the cities
it sells now for from 70 to 40 cents per
pound for beef and 70 cents for mutton.
Prices of living are mounting to the dan
ger point. American flour and corn meal
are being imported the demand for the lat
ter being beyond the supply. Altogether,
says the consul, the outlook for a large
trade with the United States in cereals is
good, and he regrets only that the United
States cannot share in the large prospective
sales of frozen meat.

Ethelyn once called at the Arena office,
Pierce building, Boston. with a small hom-
