before they could reach the shaft,
four of the men fell to the floor of the
tunnel, over which considerable
stream of water was flowing. The
others, becoming alarmed, pushed
ahead to the shaft. Foreman Mulroy
was the first to reach the surface, a
distance Of so feet, and gave the alarm

BERSCH CONVICTED.
Jury Declares Former Member OF st.
Louis House of Delegates
Guilty Of Perjury.

St. Louis. Nov. Edmund Bersch,
former member of the house of dele
gates, was Friday found guilty Of
perjury in his testimony before the
grand jury as 20 the $4,000 Doodle
fund raised to secure the passage of
the Suburban franchise bill and given
five years in the penitentiary.
Ed Butler, bondsman for Bersch,
failed to appear after the conviction
of the defendant, to sign new bond,
and Bersch was committed to jml.
The grand jury returned three in
dictments against Bersch, two for
bribery and one for perjury, the one
on which he has just been convicted.
Circuit Attorney Polk will ask that
the sentence be deferred, and Bersch
will be brought to trial on the other
Charges as rapidly as possible. The
case in many respects was the most
remarkable of any ever tried in St.
Louis. After being defeated in all
OF their attempts to gain time before
The trial actually begun, counsel for
the defense changed their tactics and
practically made no defense or a-gu-
ment.

charges of obtaining approximately
$500, 900 through forged bills of lading,
warrants have been issued for the APP
prehension of Alexander NJ. Odendahl,
secretary of the +. j. Odendahl COM
pany and son of the senior member Of
the firm. The victims of the alleged
maltransactions of the young and
well-known fnancier are the banks
of the city. To what extent the banks
of the city claim to have been victim
lied is now known only in round num-
bers. 1t is believed that the principal
losers are the Hibernian Bank & Trust
company, the Louisiana national
bank, the State national bank and the
Comptoor National D'Escompte De
Paris. The money is alleged to have
been obtained solely through the use
of the firm name of the +. j. Odendahl
Commission company on unindorsed
notes secured upon Judgment of as
serted fraudulent bills Of lading.
Warehouse receipts on grain which are
alleged to be bogus are also said to
have entered into the claims of fraud
by the banks.

POLITICAL ACTIVITY.
Attitude OF Civil Service Commissien
Towards Omceholders Who
Indulge Therein.

Washington, Nov. THE nineteenth
annual report of the United States
civil service commission for the last
fiscal year has been submitted to
the president. 1t announces substan-
tial progress In the competitive sys-
tenn and general observance OF the
civil service law and rules during
the year. The inclusions In the COM
petitive system during the year were
the rural free delivery service, a
considerable portion OF the field
service of the war department. the
census Office permanent employees
and the employees appointed because
of increased work during the war
with Spain. There were 62,029 per-
sons examined for places and 1888
persons appointed, reinstated or
transferred. a large increase over
any preceding year.
Regarding political activity of Of
ficeholders, the report says: I'm
classified service, where the choice
is made without reference to politi-
cal considerations of tenure Office
is unaffected by the change of par
ties. 1t is perfectly practicable to
provide that the officer or employe,
while retaining his right to vote an
he pleases, and to express privately
his opinion on all political subjects,
should not take an active part in
political management or in political
campaigns, for precisely the same
reason for which judge, an army
officer or n regular soldier is de-
barred from taking such active part;
while in the case of officers appoint
ed through patronage and npon po-
litical considerations, the proper lin
itations in the present state of pub
lie opinion are different. They must
not coerce the political action OF
their subordinates. They must not
use their Offices to control political
movements or influence the result OF
elections; they must not neglect
their public duties, nor cause public
scandal by their activity.
"The commission believes that the
standards here adopted are the high
est which are practicable at the pres
ent time, and that in enforcing their
performance may always keep pace
with promise, which would not be
true If more exacting standard
were now adopted. 1t is obviously
unwise to apply the same rule to a
fourth-class postmaster in small
village who has no employer W in
timidate and who wishes to continue
to act in political affairs as he al
ways acted, and to the head of a
great federal Office, who may by his
conduct, or even by his mere exam
pie coerce and intimidate hundreds
of his subordinates."

COAST DISPENSERS.
OAief Of Eagfnsers GuIespie ReDsrts
On the Condition Of Forti-
Aoa1ions.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The annual
report of Gen. G. L. Gillespie, chief
OF engineers Of the United States
army, presents comprehensive view
Of the condition of Notifications
throughout the country. After Civ
ing list of the 81 points at which
projects for permanent sea coast de-
lenses have been adopted, the re-
Fort says that the defense of the
great lakes and the St. Lawrence fl
under consideration, and also that
projects for defenses for Porto Rico,
Hawaii, Guam, Manila and Subig bay
have been approved by the secretary
Of war.
According to the report the sea
coast defenses are now somewhat
more than so per cent. completed.
Twenty-Five of the principal har-
bors of the United States have suf-
fcient number of heavy guns and
mortars mounted to permit an effec-
tive defense against naval attack, and
during the past two years considera-
BILE progress has been made in the IN
stallation of an adequate rapid-fire
armament, now the matter Of first
Importance. The existing projects
comprise 356 heavy guns of eight
ch.--+cn-inch and 12-inch calibers;
fzS4 rapid-fre guns from 2.24-inch to
six-inch caliber, and 544 mortars.
Tn total cost for the engineering
work is estimated at $4,000, 900, in
Guiding what has been completed as
well as what remains to be done.
Recommendation is made that au-
thority be given for the resumption
of the manufacture of mortars, which
it is claimed are an effective defense
within their range. Up to the pres
ont time provision has been made for
emplacing 1871 heavy guns, 4s3 rapid
fire guns and 376 12-inch mortars.
During the past year the addition to
the completed armament of the coast
amounted to eight 12-inch guns; three
sight-inch guns, 20 rapid-fire guns and
81 mortars. 1t is intended to devote
the appropriation of last June to the
construction of emplacements for two
,2-inch guns, four 10-inch guns, 40
six-inch guns and SO 15-pounders. Re-
port is made of sites purchased dur
ing the year and an appropriation of
100000 for the purpose of securing
still other sites is recommended.
