VIOLATES THE LAW.
Alleged Illegal Appointments Upheld by
the Comptroller.

Washington, July 9.-The civil service
commission has made public it's letter
to the secretary of the treasury Of June
% last asking the comptroller of the
treasury be requested to review his re-
cent decision in the matter of the al
legged Illegal appointment of deputy
United States marshals. In the course
of his decision, the comptroller said:
Il will not go back of the certificate
of appointment by the head of lie
partment or appointing power, where
no direct law has been violated, and at
tempt to ascertain whether such Off
Ger, in making such appointment has
disregarded some rule or regulation of
the civil service commission 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 head of the department or other
appointing power to office or place,
where such appointment Is not in VIOLA
tion of law or without authority of law.
You are authorized to pay such dep
uty If his account in all other respects
is correct
The commissioners in their letter
contend the appointments under con-
sideration were made in violation of the
express terms of the law and quote
rules and regulations have all the force
and effect of law and that exceptions to
these rules and regulations can be le-
gally made only in the manner provided
by the law. The letter concludes as fol-
lows:
Thus from another point of view also
we must arrive at the same conclusion
as indicated in the early part of this
decision. namely % that the comptrol-
Ter does not intend to hold that so long
as a position in the classified service is
not excepted from the requirements IN
cident thereto, an appointment can he
made to such position without compli-
ance with the provisions of the civil
service laws and regulations requiring
such appointment to be made through
legislation and certifcation by the COM
mission, and (2). consequently the only
question at issue is how, If at all,
position once in the classified service
can be legally excepted or withdrawn
from the requirements of law incident
to it's classification.
And il has already been pointed out,
in the first part of this communication
a. that the law prescribed a certain
definite manner in which only the posi-
ton can be thus withdrawn or except
ed; t2), that in the case before the
comptroller. the position was not with
drawn or excepted in the manner pre-
scribed, and (3) consequently the con-
pointment to the position in manner
contrary to that prescribed was illegsl
and void and hence the person ap-
pointed was not entitled to any COM
pensation or emoluments accruing to

to the railroads is probably $1,000, OOO
making total of $500, 900.
Owing to the exaggerated reports cir

cent floods, the News has made spe-
cial effort to secure the facts from each
county. Reports received from 13 coun-
ties show loss of 81 lives from drown

VERY GRATIFYING.
Conditions in the Southern Islands Please
Washington.

Chicago, July "a special to the
Times-H Herald from Washington says,
concerning dispatches received at the
state department from President
Schurman regarding his trip through
out the Philippine archipelago, Secre-
tary Hay authorized this formal state
ment:
dispatches have been received at
the state department from President
Schurman of the Philippine commits
sion giving brief account of his
journey to the southern islands of the
archipelago. He finds the conditions in
these islands extremely gratifying.
There is a disposition almost every
where south of Luzon to accept Amer
lean sovereignty and take advantage of
the things which the American occupa-
tion hold out. President Schurmann
expects to arrive at San Francisco
about the 18th"
As the result of a review of President
Schurmans dispatches, Secretary Hay
has authorized Brigadier General Bates,
at Manila, to go to the Sulu groups to
consult with the sultan of the Sulus
regarding the future of these places.
The authorities will not divulge the
nature of the instructions to General
Bates, but it is understood there is a
disposition here not to infringe upon
the sultan's authority, provided he ac-
knowledgeS the sovereignty of the Unit
ed States. General Bates will explain
the friendly purposes of this govern
ment and, if necessary, will agree that
this government shall pay him a small
annuity. as was done by the Spanish
government.
1t is further stated by an official in a
position to know that this government
intends to establish home rule at places
where ii is considered advisable, in
Guiding the island of Negros. conditions
in which, according to President Schur-
man, are especially satisfactory.
Immediately upon President Schur-
mans arrival at San Francisco he will
come to Washington and discuss the
Philippine situation with the president.
