ments had for their main object more
efficient and satisfactory administration
of the appointments established by the
civil service law. The results attained
show that under their operation the pub
lie service has improved and that the civil
service system is relieved Of many objec-
tionable features which heretofore sub
jected it to just criticism and the admin
istrative officers to the charge Of unbusi-
nesslike methods in the conduct of public
affairs. AS it is the merit system has been
greatly strengthened and its permanence
assured 1t will be my constant aim in
the administration of government in our
new possessions to make fitness, character
Zee and to give to the capable and deserv-
ing inhabitants preference in appoint
ments.

anniversary of the death of Washington.
have been glad to learn that in many
parts of the country the people will fit
tingly observe this historic anniversary.
In Conclusion.
Presented to this congress are great OPP
pe.rtunities. With them comes great re-
sponsibilities. The power contided to us
increases the weight of our obligations to
the people, and we must be profoundly
sensitive of them rs we contemplate the
new and grave problems which confront
us. Aiming only at the public good, we
cannot err. A right Interpretation of the
peoples will and of duty cannot fail to in
sure wise measures for the welfare of the
islands which have come under the au-
thority of the United States and insure to
the island the honor of this country.
Never has this nation had more abundant
cause than during the past yeal for thunk
fulness to God for manifold blessings and
mercies. for which we make reverent ac-
acknowledgements: WILLIAM MCKINLEY.

Civil Service Amendments.
The executive order of May 6, 1898, OK
tending the limits of the classified service,
brought within the operation of the civil
service law and rules nearly all of the civil
service places not previously classified.
Some of the inclusions were found wholly
illogical, and unsuited to the work of the
several departments. The application of
the rules to many of the places so included
was found to result In friction and embar-
rassment. After long and very careful
consideration 1t became evident to the
heads of the departments, responsible for
their efficiency, that in order to remove
these difficulties amendments were neces-
sary. These amendments were promul-
g;,ted by me in order dated March %,
1899. The principal purpose OF the
order was to except from competi-
tive examination certain places in
volving fduciary responsibilities OF
duties of strictly CONFIDENTIAL scientific,
or executive character which it was
thought might better be filed either by
non competitive examination, or in the
! discretion of the appointing officer, than
i by open competition. These places Were
comparatively few in number. L he order
provides for the illling of much larger
, number of places, mainly in the outside
service of the war department, by what
! Is known as the registration system
under regulations to be approved by the
president, similar to those which have
produced such admirable results in the

Favors Installation of Civil Government.
1t is desirable that the government of
the islands under the law of belligerent
right, now maintained through the ex-
ecutive department, should be superseded
by an administration entirely civil in it's
nature. For present purposes I recon-
mend that congress pass q law for the Or
ganization Of a temporary government
which shall provide for the appointment
by the president, subject to confirmation
by the senate, of q governor and such
other officers as the general adminisUra-
ton of the island may require, and that
for legislative purposes ON subjects of a
local nature not partaking of q federal
character legislative council, composed
partly of Porto Ricans and partly of citi-
zens of the United States, shall be nomi-
mated and appointed by the president,
subject to confirmation by the senate,
their acts being subject to the approval of
the congress or the president prior to
going into effect. In the municipalities
and other local subdivisions it is recon-
mcnded thai the principle of local
self-sovernment be applied at once,
SO as to enable the intelligent
citizens of the island to participate in
! their own government and to learn by
practical experience the duties and re-
! quirenents of y self-contained and self
governing people. have not Thought it

The Morning Post, which complains that
1t was unwise tactics on the part of the
British officials to leave the railway in
tact in their retirement to Ladysmith
says:
1T is another illustration of British
contempt for the Beers, that they treated
the retirement as though 1t was an ad-
vance, and preserved the enemys line Of
communication as carefully as If it had

THAT SPY STORY.
Nothing is known either at the war Of
flee or the colonial office here regarding
the alleged official statement cabled from
Cape Town, saying State Secretary Re!tz;
in behalf of the Transyaal government,
has demanded that Gen. White immedi-
ately release Nathan Marks, a supposed
spy, who is confined at Ladysmith,
the dispatch adding that President Kru-
ger threatens. If Marks is executed, to
retaliate by shooting six British officers
in the hands of the Beers. 1t is further
asserted from Cape Town that Marks en-
that place, with the supposed object of
obtaining information for the Beers and
one version Of the story is that the Trans
vaal authorities have threatened to exc
cute six British officers If the supposed
spy is not released to which Gen Bull
Ter is said to have replied that the British
were entitled to retain the man until he
should render a satisfactory account Of
himself.
Both stories. it is asserted bear the
imprint of improbability, as there Is no
reason to think the Beers would be guilty
of such a complete change from their
previous correct attitude and manner of
conducting the hOstiiities Nevertheless
the sensational afternoon newspapers
here are already demanding that Presi~
dent Kruger and all the members of the
executive council be ruthlessly hanged,
as the only fitting reprisal, in the event OF
State Secretary Reitz's threat being car
ried out

beyond the city limits. The British COM
mander also replied that the mines were
a recognizable adjunct of civil warfare
and that the defenses Of Mafeking were
extensively mined. Moreover he remind
ed Gen. Cronje that the Beers had fired
upon the natives, burned their kraals
and raided their cattle and that the ma

Despite three warnings from Col. Ba-

says, as a mere pretext for penetrating

end of the campaign.
So far as Kimberley is concerned the
mental condition of the British there may
be judged from the fact that three we'd
dfngs have taken place since the siege
began, the last having been celebrated
on Nov s.

his hands unless Nathan Marks, a sup
posed Boer spy, is released by Sir George
White. The premier's deliverance meets
with universal approval, although the
explanation was in no way necessary,
as outside the Dairy Chronicle no one
had supposed his words could bear the
meaning which Boer sympathizers have
been endeavoring to read into them.
INDIGNANT AT KRUGER.
President Kruger's threat has excited
widespread Indignation. The Daily News
demands that his friends should inform
him that his own neck and that of DR..
ReitZ, the Transvaal state secretary, will
be held responsible for any such viola
ton of the elementary rules of civilized
warfare
For once the censorship is blamed for
laxity. 1t is said the censor ought to have
suppressed the story of Father Matthews
regarding the surrender at Nicholson S
Mex which, while too vague to be con-
sidered evidence must cause uneasiness
The feeling is that untils the facts can be
ascertained, 1t would have been wiser not
to have circulated mere gossip.
The general delay on South Africans,
now amounting practically to five days,
and the lack of any definite news from
Ladysmith, give rise to some apprehen-
sion, which is only relieved by the fact
that no adverse tidings have come from
either British or Boer sources

LOSS OF CHARLESTON.
Full Details of the Mishap That Cost
America Cruiser.

MANILA, Nov 14.-Furthcr details re-
garding the grounding Of the United
States cruiser Charleston show that she
struck an uncharted coral reef, ten miles
east of Kamaguen island. Her stern was
almost submerged END the bow almost
out Of the water. A heavy sea was on
and the cruiser began rolling violently.
The water tight doors were quickly
closed, but were stove in under the en-
gine compartment, the largest of the
ship.
After the first efforts to right her The
officers feared she might slide off, be-
cause of the heavy sea, and therefore
abandoned the attempt 20 save her They
hurried to the launches and boats and
rCwed away to find a landing with the
Colt guns, thirteen rifles and ten days
rations. Some of the officers were res

The first landing was made on a little

Nearly all the boats took to the water and
proceeded to Kamaguen island, where a
landing was made in the expectation Of a

BIGAMIST MONROE.
He Promises to Eclipse the Candy
PeddIeP FarnswOrth.

CHICAGO, Nov. Thames Monroe, the
alleged bigamist and swindler, who was
arrested here Sunday, left for hester,
n. Y, today, in custody of police off,
GERS of that city, to be tried on charges
of swindling and bigamy. Monroe waived
extradition proceedings. Mrs. Mary ].

said, Monroe married and afterwards de-
serted in Rochester, n. Y. after obtain
ing $4,1OO from her, identified Monroe to-

According to advices received by the
police, Monroe's record as a bigamist
bids fair to eclipse that of the candy
peddler, Farnsworth, who was recently
arrested, charged with having forty-two
wives in different parts of the world. The
police already have the names of twenty
six women, mostly in Eastern cities, all
