MAY BE RECORD BREAKER.
Quick Work Expected of Kentucky
Republican Convention.

Lexington, KY. July 9.-The Republican
state convention which meets here next
Wednesday may be a record-breaker for
quick work. The Democratic state con-
Vention at Louisville two weeks ago
broke the record otherwise being in SEES
sion an entire week.
There are three candidates for tn Re
publican nomination for governor-TayIor.
Stone and Pratt.
Attorney General Taylor claims that
about two-thirds of the delegates are in
structed for him. His friends claim that
the delegates for Colonel Stone and Judge
Pratt cannot affect the vote for Taylor
by any combination between themselves
or even with candidates for the minor
places.
Colonel Stone and Judge Pratt are ex-
pected here tomorrow and their friends
promise some surprises, but the present
indications are that the Taylor men will
organize the convention and be able to
carry through what is known as the
Taylor slate" Taylor is called the ma
tional administration man, while Governor
Bradley and other state administration
men are considered as favoring some
other man.
If the results of the county conventions
are ratified. the convention here this week
will be as brief as the recent convention
at LOuisvill was prolonged. Since both
Stone and Pratt were distanced in the
race before the county conventions. there
have been efforts TO concentrate on the
Hon. John w. Yerkes or some other dark
horse. but far these movements have col
laDSed.

days and the country along the Ameri-

In many cases the men are sleeping
with three feet of water beneath their

boxes. The company cooks. when pre-

THE DEPUTIES MUST Be PAID
COMPTROLLER OF TREASURY
oVERRIDES CIVIL SERVICE.
Refuses to Grant Request of Com
mission Regarding Alleged lille
gal Appointment of U. S. Marshals

Washington, July 9.-The civil service
commission has made public its letter to
the secretary of the treasury of June
% last, asking that the comptroller Of
the treasury be requested to review his
recent decision in the matter of the al
legged illegal appointment of deputy
United States marshais. In the course
of his decision. the comptroller said:
II will not so back of the certificate
of appointment by the head of a depart
ment or appointing power where no direct
law has been violated and attempt to es-
certain whether such officer in making
ruel or regulation of the civil service COM
mission or rule or regulation of his own
regarding the classified service.
Il prefer to let the responsibility rest
where it rightfully belongs, and follow
the precedent of years in my office, to
recognize the certificate of appointment of
the mead of the department or other aD-
pointing power to office or place, where
such appointment is not in violation Of
law or without authority of law.
You are authorized to pay such deputy
if his account in all other respects Is cor
rect"
The commissioners in their letter con-
tend that the appointment under consid-
Grafton were made in violation OF the eX-
press terms of the law, and quote num-
erous authorities to show that the rules
and regulations have all the force and Ell
feet of law and that exceptions to these
rules and regulations can be legally made
only in the manner provided by the law
The latter concludes as follows:
Thus. from another point of view also.
we must arrive at the same conclusion as
indicated in the early part of this de
cision, namely ID that the comptroller
does not intend TO hold that so long as n
position in the classified service is not
excepted from the requirements incident
thereto an appointment can be made
to such position without compliance with
the provisions of the civil service laws and
rules requiring such appointment TO be
made through examination and certihca
ton by the commission; and 90 conse-
ouently the only question left at issue is
how. if al all. position once in the class
flied service can be legally excepted or
withdrawn from the requirements of law
incident to its classification.
And il has already been pointed out.
in the first part of this communication %,
that the law prescribed certain definite
manner in which only the position can be
thus withdrawn or excepted; % that In
rhe case before the comptroller the posi-
ton was not withdrawn or excepted In
the manner prescribed. and CD conSe-
ouently the conclusion cannot be escaped
that the appointment to the position in
a manner contrary to that prescribed, was
iIlegal and void. and hence the person ap-
noi6ted was not entitled to any compen-
sation or emolument accruing to the

OPPOSED TO AN ALLIANCE,
Chicago Polish Residents Denounce
the Anglo-American Scheme

Chicago. July 9-The Polish residents
of Chicago at a meeting here tonight, de-
ncunced an AnglO-American alliance
The following resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That we. Polish-American
citizens. can see no reason for an al
lance between this government for which
establishment Kosiousco fought and Pu-
lask died, and that of England, or anv
other monarchial power; that neither the
traditions. the instincts nor the necessi-
ties of the American nation call for such
an alliance, and that We, as Polish
American citizens. protest against 1t and
pledge ourselves to vote and work against
any political candidate or any party who
may advocate it
In opposition TO the promoters of the
meeting and in favor of the Anglo-Amer-
lean alliance John NJ. Sienlaiwicz made
a bitter speech in which he pleaded with
those present to stand by America and
Poland first before protesting against al
liances with the English people. who have
always been in sympathy with Poland
and her cause. He said that though the
Poles are interviewing people. they will
always stand ready to help the Irish peO-
pie, yet claimed that they must first
stand by Poland and her cause, which in
a. way would be furthered by indOrsing
and favoring American alliance with Eng
land.
He urged that the reason for the alli-
ance was the near struggle of England
with Russia, in which event the Poles
would have chance for liberty. for Eng
annihilate the Russian power. The Irish
people. he said, would. in that event. side
with Russia, Polands enemy because
RuSsia's victory over England would
mean freedom TO Ireland.
The result of his speech was that when
the resolutions We're offered opposing the
alliance of America with England. those
present were about equally divided on
the vote.
As a result of tonight's meeting. mass
meetings for and against the alliance
were organized all over the city among
the Poles. and resolutions of protest and
of endorsement will be sent to Washing
ton by the Poles.

ARE AFRAID OF THEIR LIVES.
Filipinos Who Attempted to Bring
About End of Instruction.

Manila, July (via Hongkong, July
10)-Friendly Filipinos in Manila have
been the medium of communications be-
tween the American authorities and the
military leaders of the instruction in
Cavite province, which for some time
promised 10 result in bringing over a
prominent general and several hundred
of his followers with their arms If the
negotiations had succeeded the outcome
would have had a great moral effect.
for other OBJECTIONS doubtless would
have followed.
Were the generals name given it
might lead to action similar TO that
which has befallen other Filipinos sus-
pected of friendlinesS towards the
Americans. He had foreseen the fail
ure of the Instruction and advised
Aguinaldo to make terms. but 1t is I'M
derstood that he has sent word to the
Americans that having sworn to sup
port the insurrection, he must remain
loyal to the end.
Similar negotiations are said on good
authority to have been conducted with
a member of the cabinet of the So
called Filipino government, who him
self took the initiative. Some form or
money consideration figured in the dis
cussion with his friends.
