THE TREATY IN LONDON.
LabOuchere, in Truth, Indorses the
Davis Amendment.

LONDON, Dec. 1S.-Henry Labouchere
discussing the Hay-Pauncefote treaty in
Truth today says: Although theoreti-
caliy we are not masters of the Suez
canal, we are so practically. owing to our
tenure IN Egypt and our hold of the Red
sea. do not think the United States
senate is wrong in inserting the Davis
amendment
1.-THE questions are, therefore. first
whether we ought to risk creating i'll
feeling towards us on the part of the
United States, and, second, whether we
should not be gamers by the construction
of the canal, even if it were in the mill
tary occupation Of the United States?"
Having answered the first question in
the negative, he, concludes as follows:
Great Britain would be wise in ac-
cepting the amended treaty"

PRINCETON, N. J., Dec. 1S.-Former
President Grover Cleveland was asked by
the Associated Press correspondent today
if he had seen Mr.. Harrison's speech at
Ann Arbor. Mr. Cleveland said:
Il saw a liberal synopsis of it in some
of the papers and regard is as the best
deliverance yet made on the subject
which it discusses. 1t seems to me that
those who desire to acquaint themselves
with the precise question involved. and
what territorial expansion means to our
republic, and to what it threatens our
people, cannot possibly be afforded a
better means of enlightment than ex-
President Harrison has furnished"

ROAST FROM THE LEAGUE
eating COMMITTEE MAKES
IT'S REPORT
SPIRIT OF THE LAW EvADED
More Federal Appointments Made
During the Fiscal Year 1900 With
out Competitive Examina-
tions Than With.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-The commit
tee of the National Civic Service Reform
league, appointed to investigate the cond1-
ton of the federal civil service and the
enforcement Of the reform law and rules
under the present administration, has
submitted a report saying that the prog
ress of the reform in it's application to
the federal service has pepn seriously
checked. The committee asserts that the
law has not been thoroughly and honest
ly enforced, and conspicuous opportunities
for it's extension have been set aside. Fig
ures are presented showing that during
the year ending June 1 last 4,640 federal
appointments were made through COM
petitive examinations, While 9,153 were
made without such examination, 2,242 be-
ing temporary" appointments, end 2,4OO
appointments in the census Office. OF
presidential appointments the committee
says they have been controlled almost
exclusively by senators and representa-
tives, or unofficial political leaders, whose
selections the president has ratified.

POLITICIANS APPOINTED.

While good men are not infrequently
secured through this system, in the MAJ
jority of cases those appointed are active
local politicians, whose disposition to pro-
vide places for their adherents furnishes
a serious obstacle to the satisfactory ad-
ministration of the civil service rules at
the outset. Among presidential offices IN
the general Notwithstanding business
offices strictly, and not those that are
properly politicai-the conditions have
been almost universal. In the consular
service, for instance, more than 80 per
cent of the salaried offices were refilled
during the first year of the administra-
tion and in the Indian service, during The
Same period, 62 per cent of the agents.
The committee declares that while di-
rect violations of the civil service rules
have been more or less common indirect
evasions have been more so. The pre- ctIce
of making temporary" appointments for
emergency work, the committee SAYS.

or Chicago Board Of Trade euota-
tions Dispelled.
MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Oct. 2s.-The
mystery surrounding the manner in
which the outside brokers and cornnis-
sion men were able to secure quotations.
Of the Chicago Board OF Trade from Au-
gust to October 10 was dispelled to-.
day, when the testimony OF Chicago tell
egraph operators and electricians were
filed In the United States court. Tho
secret was revealed by Oscar NJ. Stone,
In IN examination conducted before
Commissioner Harper, In Chicago. In
brief, 1t is to the effect that the quota
tions were secured by q system Of mes-
sengers who went to various bleclka
boards and tickers and got the Quotas
tions. Then they hurried to @ coavc~
nient telephone or else to a place where
signalling could be done. Then an op-
orator in a room opposite La SaIlo
street brokers' office, with the aid Of a
field glass. read OF the quotations as
fast as they were posted to an operator
presiding at q telegraph instrument. IN
this way the Chicago and other QUOTA
tions were furnished to various CUSTOM
ers in Chicago and outside cities.
Mr.. Stone refused to reveal the SYSTEM
of signals. They were the product Of
his brain, he said, and valuable. Tho
signals were worked by men in the al
leys by combination Of the points OF
the compass. The system did not work
well on fractions. ~
George T. Hoyt corroborated tho
statements of Mr.. Stone concerning tho
telephones and the signals. Stone
ceased operations on October 10. tho
date of the Injunction.
