MUST ATTEND TO BUSINESS.
Orders to Civil Service Clerks Who
Are In Postoffices.

Washington, June 3.-To meet a condi-
ton which has been found to exist in
many of the larger postoffices of the coun-
try where clerks in the office are members
or officers of civil service boards, Acting
Postmaster General Heath has issued an
order defining the duties of such clerks,
which are as follows:
Clerks in postoffices are hereby notified
that an appointment as secretary or d
member of the civil service board does not
in any way affect their relations to the
postmaster. They are still subordinate to
the postmaster and must not absent them
selves from their duties as postoffice
clerks to attend meetings of the board or
to transact the business of the civil SER
vice commission without specific authority
from him.
''Postmasters will allow clerks who are
members of the local board of civil ser
vice examiners ample time to attend to
their duties as members of such boards
during the regular office hours upon prop
er notice and applca4 on, and VIII in every
way facilitate the work OF the civil ser
vice commission.
While members of civil service boards
in the performance of their duties as such,
are unde- the direction OF the civil service,
IL is the duty of poStmaSterS to see that
their subordinateS render faithful and eff
cient service to the government and that
the preteXt of performing service for the
civil service is not made an acceptable ex-
cuse for neglecting their duties as post
office clerks
In most of the large cities the postoffices
furnish the secretary of the civil service
board of the city, and Notwithstanding
these. clerks are on the postoffice payroll,
complaint is made that they often assume
that they are responsible to the civil serA
vice authorities only.
The order issued today is intended to de-
fine the status of such employees. This
was condition such as described which
existed in the postoffice at Philadelphia.

SPAIN MADE GOOD BARGAIN.
How the Transfer Is Looked Upon at
Washington.

Washington, June 3.-The opinion
here is that Spain has had very good
bargain in the price she obtained for
the Pacific islands The cash compen-
sation is about equal to the sum of
S., 900, 900 in United States money. But
in addition the guarantees afforded by
Germany are regarded as eXtraordi-
nary. The permission to Spain to re-
tain three coaling stations, and, above
all, the undertaking to protect these in
time of war; are certainly of great
value. In fact, it is said the undertake
ing to protect the coaling stations for
Spain are, in a sense, committing Ger
many to an alliance with Spain, for it
lis conceivable that they execute the
guarantee Germany may be placed in
a position where she must go to war
for SPANS sake.
The concession that Spain may enjoy
favored treatment in trade with Ger
many and her colonies, is said to be of
value so far as the mother country is
concerned, but of little Importance in
respect to the colonies of Germany.
Spain has never been able to make any
Roadway in trade with colonies on even
terms with Germany, and even where
she held sovereignty, as IN the case of
the Carolines, German trade interests
took the lead.
1t is said at the state department that
our government is not in a way to be
advised officially of this transaction I'M
til, perhaps, Ambassador White at Ber-
lin reports it to the department as an
item of information. The reason for
this is that the transfer nominally con-
Germs nobody save the two parties to
it. there being no dispute as to the title
of Spain and her right to make a trans
fer, and no questions as to spheres of
influence or any of the latter-day
niceties of diplomatic meGdling to war
rant interference of third parties.
1t is said that the United States
might have acquired the islands some
time ago on practically the same terms
Certainly as to the Carolines we might
have had possession of ITALIAN. the pearl
of the group, and perhaps all of the is
lands in exchange for $1.000.000 cash
and exceptional trade rights for Span
ish trade in Cuba and Porto Rico. Dur
ing the peace conference at Paris, the
commissioners offered the million for
ITALIAN and the trade was under way
when it was broken off through the
additional demand by Spain for favored
treatment in trading with Cuba and
Porto Rico. These terms correspond in
a measure with those demanded of
Germany and having declined them
ourselves, it is not believed we have
any right to object to the cession to
anothr nation.

his mother, thus describes his escape
from the hospital in order to go to the
front and fight:

The Gift Cannot Go to His Successor
In the Navy.
TRIBUTE TO HIS DEEDS
PROTEST AGAINST THE SUCCESS
TON OF ADMIRAL UPSHUR.
Rank of Admiral Will Cease to Ex-
list After Dewey's Death-Would
Be No One For Property to Go to
In Navy Excepting Ranking
Rear Admiral.

New York, June "a special to the
Tribune from Washington sayst
The suggestion of Admiral Upshur
that the home which it is proposed 20
purchase for Admiral Dewey should be
his only while ne remains at the head
of the navy, and at his death should
fall TO the ranking officer of the navy,
does not meet with favor at the
hands of the committee in charge of the
collection of funds.
The members of the committee point
out several objections to it, which, from
their point of view, seem vital. This
home. they say, is a tribute to the gal
liant and brave services OF Admiral
Dewey personally, and could not de-
scend to another admiral, for the rea-
son that the rank will die with the man
who won that title at the battle of Ma
Mia.
The rank ceased to exist on the death
of Admiral Porter, and was only re-
Vived on the occasion of a great event.
1t is probable that with the death OF
Dewey there will be no other admiral
until another war produces another
naval hero. To make this house the
home of the ranking officer means
simply that it shall fall to the officer
who becomes rear admiral at the top
of the list through the ordinary pro-
motions incident to the service. The
proposition is not likely TO be accepted
by the committee.

Mr.. Heath, the first assistant post

anceS from a relative of the admiral
that he will accept this gift from the

masters throughout the country au-
thorizing them to receive contributions,
and it expects within short time TO
hear favorable reports.

is to be purchased and fitted up before

is to be located where Dewey wishes
it, and will be furnished in accordance
with his taste.
Pending the arrival in Washington of
the distinguished occupant of the home,
nothing more will be done than to pro-
coed with the collection of funds.
