BUijCKLEY'S HEAD
 WILL SOON FALL MOntgomery's Postmaster it is. Said VIII Walk the Plank IS "ANTI-LILY WHITE" T00 Charge on Which He Is to Be Sacrl- feed Is Alleged Borrowing of Money
 From One Fund to Pay An
 other-Nobody Injured.
 
IS "ANTI-LILY WHlTE," T00

Montgomery. November 17.-(Special.)-- The announcement from Washington that Postmaster C. w Buckley of Montgom- cry Is to go caused surprise here. where nobody suspected that anything was threatening in his direction. Many months ago Buckley set in to have Money Order Clerk Hughes fired for incivility. insubor dinatfon and the like. and Hughes resist ed, claiming that his job was simply wanted for some friend of the postmaster. Nobody knew that he had made any counter charges against Buckley,
 It now seems that Hughes was willing to go himself in order to beat Buckley, as his charge of having loaned money to the postmaster from his fund involves him as much as 1t does his antagonist. Judge Buckley Is popular as an official. and the public has no kick to make against him on any score. Congressman Wiley does not believe that mere tech nical borrowing from one fund to help out another where no loss was suffered by the government will suffice to put him out
 The charge on which 1t is said postnas- ter Buckley is to be dismissed is three years old. Ills version of 1t is that he borrowed $40 from the money order fund over night and after the banks had closed, partly as a matter of accommodation to some laborers at Swayne college of which he is trustee and whose wages were due. He gave his due bill to Clerk Hughes and went next day to pay the money back but the due bill being mislaid. he waited sew eral days to find it. It seemed lost for good and he paid the money. took re- ceipt and thought no more about it till the charge was made. It is said the old due bill lost all these years mysteriously turned up in the postoffice department.
 Judge Buckley is strictly an anti-ltly white, was away sick about convention times and felt easier than anybody here. His trouble has no political side to it.

Washington, March 1.-The Commission to revise and compile the laws of Porto Rico has submitted it's report to the At torney General The Commission consist pd of Joseph Daly of New York. l.. s. Rowe of Pennsylvania. and Juan Herman dcz Lopez of Porto Rico
 The system of local government pro- posed by the Commission includes [ County. city and village organization. Th' Commission has taken long step in the direction of local autonomy but has placed sufficient power in the insula government to guard against the dangers of local ineXperience or incompetence.
 The system leaves to the local authori- kes the management of local affairs. but prescribes a definite standard of efficiency fin most services. sucn as sanitation drainage. water supply. street cleaning etc If the local government fails tc meet these standards. the insular gov ernmsnt is given sufficient power to meet every emergency. The habeas corpus act Is another of the important changes pro i'nsed by the Commission. The Spanish civil code does not recognize divorce all though a seoaraton proceeding is pro v.ted for. This branch of the law has hrcurht into harmony with the system prevailing in New-York and Massachu- eettS
