Many Members of Congress Attend a
IT, Washington Demonstration.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-The Grand
Opera House, the largest auditorium in
Washington, was packed to the doors
during the evening with an enthusiastic
audience which vigorously expressed its
sympathy with the Beers in their fight
with Great Britain. The demonstration
was planned as means Of evidencing
public sentiment and in numbers and
enthusiasm was fully up to expectations.
The speakers included members of both
branches of congress, and on the stage
were other public men who, came merely
to add their, moral support. The key
note of the speeches was that the Beers
were fighting for their independence as
our, forefathers had done in 1776.
Among those who occupied seats on
the stage. We're Senators Mason of ILL
nois, Allen of Nebraska and Tillman Of
South Carolina; Representatives Clark,
De Almond and Cochran Of Missouri,
Bailey of Texas, Carlnack and Cox Of
Tennessee, Rhea of Kentucky, Jones

A CAUSE FOR SPECULATION.

London Wondering if Mr. Davis Has Not
Some Sort of Official Mission.
LONDON, Jan. 23.-The publication of
the fact that President Kruger is send
ing a private car to take Webster Davis
from Lourenzo Marques to Pretoria is
causing considerable speculation here as
to whether Mr.. Davis, Notwithstanding
the denial from Washington, has not
some sort Of official mission.
It is thought rather singular that a
simple traveller, even though an official
at home, should receive SO much atten-
ton. The subject is attracting the Con-
tinental papers, who are inquiring
through their London representatives
whether the British government has in
formation regarding the mission of Mr..
Davis. They are loath to believe that
one of President McKinley's assistant
secretaries would take vacation in the
Transvaal and be given leave of alb
sence for several months without some
such purpose.
A recent dispatch from Washington
pointed out that Mr.. Davis had given up
his proposed visit to the Transyaal ow-
ing to the possibility that it might be
misinterpreted.

DRAINAGE CANAL NATTER.

Federal Supreme Court VIII Hear the In-

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-In the case Of
the State of Missouri versus the State of
Illinois, involving the petition for an in
junction against the Chicago drainage
canal, the United States supreme court
decided to permit the attorney general
Of Missouri to file his bill making the
summons to the defendants returnable
on April 2.
In connection with this decision, Mr..
B. Schumacher, representing the State
Of Missouri, asked for temporary re-
straining order against the Chicago
drainage district, prohibiting the opera:
lion of the canal during the tendency of
The proceedings in this court. :,
| He said the canal had been opened
since the proceedings had been begun
here and with the full knowledge of the
proceedings.
In reply, Chief Justice Fuller said
that it was impossible for the supreme
court to exercise original jurisdiction in
a suit between states without giving
notice; that 60 days were required for a
return and that nothing could be done
before the date upon which the service
was made returnable in the main pro-
,eeding, viz, April 2.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The United

case Of the Chicago, Milwaukee and st.

road commissioners of the state of South
Dakota.
The case involved the state law pro-
viding maximum rate for the rail-

Mr. Easton Of the Washington Post,

Main Position of the Beers Not Yet At
{ f. 81 tackled.
LONDON, Jan. 23.-The justifable Sc
verify Of the censorship at the present
moment prevents the special correspond
ents from giving additional information
to supplement- General Buffers latest
dispatch. The success Of the movement
depends almost entirely upon how fan
he proves able to. outmaneuver the
Beers, whose available forces are doubt
less larger than his own. The chief diff
fculty lies in the ability Of the Beers to
transport men, stores and ammunition
quickly and to entrench new positions.
Secrecy regarding General Buffers
progress, therefore, is essential and the
public press, is quite content to wait
patiently. sz9 w.
From the information which the CEN
sor has allowed to pass it is as yet i'm
possible to form correct notion of the
British tactics. One thing, however, is
quite clear. The British commanders
have proited by experience and are now
avoiding infantry charges, giving prefer
ence to the
More Judicions Use of Artillery.
The general idea is that Sir Redvers
Butler, with some 5000, men and 18
field guns, is holding the northern bank
of the Tugela at Potgieters drift, while
Sir Charles Warren, with about $4,000
men, 80 gu1rs and a large force Of cav
airy, is working around the right flank
of the Beers, s or 10 miles away.
One account of Saturdays fighting
says that the British had few killed.
Little reliance can be placed upon these
reports, and although the main position
of the Beers had not yet been attacked
and nothing is known as to its strength,
Saturday s and Sundays. fight, which
can hardly be described as more than
outpost affairs, evidently entailed serious
losses. III
The Beers are following their old time
tactics, making a show Of resistance and
then retreating in good order to pre-
pared positions, and as they are working
from the interior of their lines they may
be able to bring strong forces to defend
the main position. H. {. ss} III n:

AS TO CIVIL SERVICE.
Report of the Commission Submitted

Report of the Commission Submitted to
the President.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The 18th an
nual report of the United States civil
service commission has been submitted
to the president. The report, while con-
tanning much information of value con-
cerning the operations of the commits
sion during the year, deals with num-
ber of subjects of general public inter-
est. The remarks of the commission on
the Importance Of merit system in ou1
colonial possessions; the need of making
some disposition of superannuated en-
ployees; the improvement shown in the
the reduction Of the percentage of re-
movals throughout the service, result
ing from the requirements of the law
and the order Of the president of July
~, 1897, looking to its enforcement, and
the advantages to be gained by the class:
ifcation Of the force Of the library of
congress and the municipal service of
the District of Columbia, deserve special
attention at this time. sas2
The report opens with preliminary
statement in regard to the extent Of the
classified and unclassified service, from
which it appears that there are approx,
mately $4,000 classified positions and
107, 900 unolassified positions; of the lat
ter II, ,007 are occupied by fourth-class
postmasters. There are 10, ,448 positions
in the executive service, in the District
of 20 Columbia, and more than 162, ,000 dis

nifcant comment:
If the removals from the unclassified
positions were made because the occu-
pants We're incompetent it was a con-
demnation Of the system under which
they were appointed. On the other
hand, if the removals were made for
other reasons than unfitness the welfare
Of the service could not have been the
basis for such action. < From
the figures the conclusion must be drawn
that either the persons brought in
through examinahon are far more eff
cient than the others or the removals
from the unolassified positions have
;saee,, made for other cause than the good
Of the service. - ~

Administration Officials Clearly
Nettled Over the Movements
Of Webster Davis,
And Again Allege That His Move
g ments in South Africa Are
Purely Personal.
May Give Him a Hint, However,
That He Should Use Dis
cretiOn.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-BOth the state
and the interior department. authorize
the most sweeping denial of the story
that Webster Davis, assistant secretary
Of the interior, is clothed with any dip
lomatic mission. It is declared that he
represents no department. Of the United
States government in his visit to South
Africa, but is there in a personal capac-
ity. Since his arrival at Cape Town,
where he went to visit his cousin, Con-
sui General Stowe, the state department
has been very much annoyed at the mis-
construction that has been placed upon
his visit. 1t was to prevent further mis-
understandings on that score that the de-
partment positively declined Mr.. Davis
application for leave of absence for Mr..
Stowe, who wished to accompany Mr..
Davis to Pretoria. If Mr.. Davis visit
had not been purely personal, it is very
probable that he would have been also
enjoined from proceeding to Pretoria,
for it is anticipated that misrepresenta-
tions as to his purpose would be drawn.
It is even now possible that he will re-
ceive reminder from the interior de-
partment that his course is emba1rass-
ing to the government. The state
department. has sent no instructions to
Mr.. Macrum respecting his attitude
towards the newspapers since his de-
parture from Pretoria for the United
States. In fact it is said that the de
partment has no authority whatever
over Mr.. >Macrum, who has passed out
