great deal of his criticisms of the re- cent order upon the rule authorizing the placing of the temporary appoint ments in the classified service This Is strange, because nfne-tenths of the temporary appointments made within the last two or three years were made on the authority of the civil service commission. The necessity existed at the time of appointing these tempo rary clerks. and the commission was applied to for authority. It is also a fact that if the certificates from ths civil service, commission for the ap- pCintment of these temporary Clerks were examined they would be found to have been signed by President Procter himself If it is such a cnme to appoint these clerks to permanent places at this time, why did not the civil service commission protest when it certified to their appointment CD the temporary roll?
 It is also a fact, and it can be proven despite MT. Procter's state ments, that the president did not issue his order changing the civil service rules without consulting the civil service commission. Every intended change was made after consultation with the commissioners, and they knew exactly what WIS being done. The president completed his order some months ago, and it was laid aside on account of press of business for many weeks When he had a chanca to take it up again, he did So and pro mulgated it. He may not have con suited the commission as to the time to issue the order nor was there any necessity for his doing so. This neg feet, however, is the only one on which any grievance could be based. :

TO BUY HARvEYIzED ARMoR.
Secretary Longs Decision Will Pre-
 vent Delay on Warships.

Washington, June 13- Secretary Long has passed, upon the armor bids submitted recently, deciding to pur- chase a small quantity of armor and 10 let the next congress decide what shall be done toward securing the re- mainder needed for the armored ships already authorized. The armor com panies having stated that they could not furnish Krupp armor of the high grade required by the department at the price fixed by law, but that they could continue the supply of Harvey ized armor at $4O0 per ton. the secre- tary has ordered the purchase Of some of the latter. The bureau chiefs have reported that this Harveyized armor, though not so good as the other, nor sufficiently good for the main protec- ticn Of the new battleships, would still answer the requirement. for the armor of the four monitors to be built. and also for the diagonal p-ates of the battleships Maine, Missouri and Ohio now under construction. These diag- onai plates are wrought into the ships at comparatively early period of the construction, and the secretary's de- cision will go far toward preventing the delay that would ensue had it been decided to purchase no armor.

A Fine Catch.

Harry Shaw of this city. holds the
record for catching the largest trout
50 far. this season. al Great pond. He
was out with party of friends, Mon
day afternoon and during the latter
part Of the day picked up an ordinary
bamboo pole without reel or anything
Of the kind. He had been fishing but a
short time when. with the proVerbial
luck of the small boy with the bent pin
and the alder pole, he had a strike.
He hooked his fish and for a time
everything stood a good show of being
carried away. Not having a reel he
was unable to show his skill in playing
the fish, but still stuck to his task.
Several times the trout broke water
and each time it was seen that the fish
was one of the lords of the pond. 1t
was not until Mr.. Shaw began to Won
der how much longer his strength
would hold out, that the trout showed
any signs of exhaustion. He finally
landed the trout Even when he had
the fish on the bank it gave a leap,
but was too exhausted to reach the
water. 1t weighed IL pounds. He
subsequently hooked another but that
one got away. The fish he landed was
on exhibition in the window Of Miller's
lunch room, yesterday.
