Civil Service Resolutions.

indianapolis, Jec. 16.-At the business
session of the National Civil Service
league all the old officials were reelected
yesterday and resolutions, which read in
part as follows, We're adopted:
THE league regards the order issued
by the president on the 29th day of May
last withdrawing several thousand places
from the classified service and nullifying
the rules intended to prevent evasion Of
the law as the first unmistakable back
ward step taken by a federal admins
tration since the civil service law, was
passed. The injurious effects; of this or
der have already been seen in the demor-
alization of many parts of the federal
service, in the encouragement of the enc
mics Of the reform in their efforts to
cripple the merit system and secure a
further relaxation of the rules and in the
widespread distrust of the promises of
the president and the party in power to
enforce and extend the civil service law.
I'VE ask congress to remove the 1egis-
latlve restriction upon the consolidation
of postoffices to the end that the depart
ment may apply the merit system to
minor offices wherever practicable by
making them branches of larger offices
and filling them from the clerical force
therein"
The report on 'the indian service under
President Mckinley" says:
The committee finds itself compelled
to report that probably no branch of the
federal service has suffered more from
the ravages of the spoilsinen during the
present administration than the Indian
service. That such should be- the fact
is not only a misfortune but a disap-
pointlnent. The choice of Mr.. Cornelius
N. Bliss as secretary of the interior was
accepted by many friends of good gov
rnmen as an assurance that me pro-
gress made during the two former admin
would be continued or at least
maintained. Such was not the case, no
serious attempt seems to have been made
the president or by Secretary Bliss
to conduct the service on non-partisar
principles"

Our Filipino Prisoners.

New York, Dec. 16.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: Gen. Otis
has new in custody many important pris-
oners, who were connected with the So
called Filipino government, but nc decis-
ion as to their future disposition has been
reached by the president. A men,ber of
not yet come when the fate of these men
could be determined. 1t is proposed to
treat them humanely and with consiJera-
ton, and it is believed such a policy will
lead other Filipinos to surrender. Any
Filipinos caught directly in u~nprovoked
murder or looting will be sulnmalily
dealt with.
1t was reported this afternoon that Gen.
Otis had sent to Secretary Root a COM
munication from prominent Filipinos
which was read at the cabinet meeting
today, saying there was 10 organized
insurgent force and hat the army had
been broken up into small bands plumber
ing and numbering nOn-con1batantS ant
suggesting the employment of natives in
garrisoning towns. II is said at the war
department, that the quota of troops al
lowed by law is complete ard no addi-
tional natives can be enlisted. Gen. Otis
will soon have an ample number of men
to do garrison duty ana it is to the inter-
est of this government to have Americans
rather than F'ilipinos garrison the coun-
try for the present.

Surveying Our Possessions.

Washington, Dec. Ex-senator Foster,
chairman of the new committee on I. i
and insular survey. last night in an in
terview with an Associated Press re-
porter, said:
The demand suddenly made upon the
United States government for surveys
along the coast of Alaska, and of the
newly acquired island possessions has
forced upon congress the consideration
OF the immediate survey of these regions.
The demand has come largely from the
Pacific coast where the suddenly devel-
oped commerce with Alaska has created
an unexpected demand for quick surveys
of the Alaskan coast. -'t~
In Alaska, Porto Rico, Hawaii and the
Philippines the interests Of commerce re-
quire immedite and rapid surveys of these
regions in order that we may know, in
the first place what the resources of the
islands themselves are. This Informal
ton must to a great extent precede any
development of
I'm response to this demand the senate
has created a special committee on coast
and insular surveys which viii have i'm
mediate relation to the commercial inter-
ests of those sections"
Senator Foster will introduce a resolu-
ton in the senate calling on the secre-
tary of the treasury for information as
to the present progress of the surveys
and the plan which he proposes for their
development in the new possessions.

Saved Conductor and a Brakeman

Lewiston. Ida, Dec. 16.-Four people

FIREMAN EARL BRADSHAW.
BRAKEMAN A. BUDGE, all of Spok-
ane.
Fatally injured: Fireman John Peter
man of Spokane.
The rails We're covered with ice and
snow and i'll descending the long steep
grade leading into Kendrick the trainmen
lost control of the train and it crashed
down the grade at a terrific rate Of speed.
After a run of three miles down the
mountain side four cars broke loose and
were ditched, the track being torn up for
a distance OF more than a quarter of a
mile. After another mile and a half run
the engines and remaining cars struck
the side track at Kendrick and were
dltched and piled I'D in a confused mass.
the two engineers and Fireman Brad
i'fe" oaiu IeteiIlaa were caught IN the
wreck and the three former instantly
Killed. Peternan was taken out with a
broken leg and he is thought to be inter-
hally injured. He cannot recover. Brake
Budge jumped a minute before the
crash came but both his legs were
broken and he died a few minutes later.
with rare presence of mind the conduc-
tor cut the cabose loose b efore the train
got under full Roadway and thus saved
ms own life and that of the rear brake
man.

BRANCH RAILROAD.

Surveyor Allen of Superintendent
Mobiles staff, Southern Pacific Com
pany, spent the greater part Of the
week in Churchill County. The pur-
pose of his work there is a mystery
to the DISPATCH and Mr.. Allen failed
to fall into any traps laid for hin by the
designing newspaper mar. Neverthe-
less we guess he was sent there to
view the landscape, topography Of the
country as 1t were, to learn that a
branch line Of railroad would fit
nicely, ecomlcally and profitably, from
Wadsworth to the iron mines and Incl
dentally do away with the heavy grades
on the Wordsworth hill and the Goose
Neck and yet swing into the bottoms
OF the Big Meadows and tap Churchill
minerally, agrlculturally and Annually.
ColHs has our full permission and
500, 900 from Churchill to do this
thing. The youngsters out there can
yet get On the morning train, arrive
here and attend the best High School in
the State and the sharps can coma in
and play poker or go to the theater.
Too bad the mossbacks and calamity
howlers cannot make his growing met
ropolis subside. Well bid for the cap

Close Cali For Jim Richards.

Tuesday evening at his store near
Fallons Jim Richards ate rather heart
lily Of strawberry Jam and soon after
was taken seriously III. His condition
did not improve during the night and
Wednesday morning he left his store
in the the attempt to reach the assist
ance Of Mr.. Fallon but fell In the road
from weakness. He laid there for
some hours unable TO move and early
in the evening he was found by Mr..
Fallon and was taken to the latter's
house. The members Of the family
used every means at their command
to relieve his sufferings and telephoned
for DR.. Kistler who reached the sick
mans bedside about half past six.
While 1t was thought at first that he
was poisoned by eating the canned
jam. DR.. Kistler pronounced 1t an
acute attack Of cholera morbus, Jim's
friends quickly gathered and gave him
every care and he is still at Mr.. Fall
Ions very weak but improving.
