with women and children starving,
business at a standstill, and the mer-

Rico has reached the limit of endur-
ance. To-day a mass-meeting will be
held to demand that the United
States congress take immediate ac-

close all business houses this after

tend an open-air meeting on he plaza
with the object of drawing up a pc
tition to Gov. Gen. Davis demanding

Women Plead for Food.
Sixty country women marched from

and petitioned Gov. Gen. Davis to save
them from starvation and to provide
work and food. The women present
ed a most pitlable sight. They were
barefooted and ragged, half naked,
dust covered and weary from their

all were discouraged. The petition
which they presented to the governor

rice. beans and bread beyond reach

others where they came from. almost

Davis Promises Relief.
Gen. Davis promised relief to the
lparty, and requested the mayor to
Iprovide transportation. His reply was
that there was not a peso in the
treasury, and that the police were yet
unpaid for their last two months

NEW CIVIL SERVICE RULE

REINSTATEMENT OF CARRIERS
WHEN FREE DELIVERY is RE-
STORED.
The president has issued an order
still further amending the civil service
rule in regard to employees. separated
from the service, says a Washington
dispatch. If by reason Of the discon-
tinuance Of the free delivery service at
any post office employees lose their po-
sitions, they may be reinstated when
ever the free delivery service is re-
sumed without regard to the time
which has elapsed since their separa-
ton.
This order was issued to apply to
the case of the carriers at Huron. S. d.
After the free delivery service was sus-
pended there in 1898 two of the three
carriers were employed by the citizens
and business men to perform this work
But when the service was restored and
they applied for reinstatement it was
decided that there was no provision
under which they could be reinstated
The representatives from South Da
kota called on the president last weei
and made such strong showing thai
he was moved TO issue the order {,
cover this case and others of the same
sort which may arise.

To the Honorable. the Members OF the

the meeting:
Street and Sewer Department OF
Wilmington.
Gentlemen: ] am instructed to ac-
knowledge your recent communication
setting forth a resolution passed by
the Street and Sewer Department re-
ferring to the matter OF our extension
on Sixth street. and to say that our
work was done on that street pursuant
to the consent given to this company
by you on December Z. 1899, which
was accepted and acted upon by this
company.
We have also been served with a re-
straining order of the Court Of Chan
Gerry, which, OF course, prevents the
continuance of that work on Sixth
street until Il is dismissed.
| am further instructed TO say that
we must decline to remove our tracks
where now laid on Sixth street, as we
claim that they were rightfully placed
there and should continue undisturbed,
unless the courts should decide In the
litigation now under way that they
ought to be removed.
The whole matter is before the chan
.cellor, and, il after seeking the assist
ance Of the courts, you attempt to take
the matter into your own hands, and
cannot await the orderly and judicial
determination Of the litigation, we can
only notify you in justice to ourselves
and the interests Of the city, as we
hereby do. that we shall look to you
and hold the city responsible for all
costs, expenses and damages which
may arise through your threatened un-
authorized action
We again offer, as we did at the
time the progress Of our work was
stopped by the arrest Of our superin-
tendent to put that part Of Sixth street
where our work was in progress in the
best possible condition and in much
better condition than 1t was at thf
time the work was begun, and we be
lieve we can do so I'm an hour II oul
workmen and employees are not TO b.
arrested.
Very. respectfully,
JOSEPH G. LUGAR.
General Superintendent.
