of incompetent Officials.
Washington, June 4.-The civil SER
vice commission yesterday made pub
lie a decision just rendered by PresI-
dent Roosevelt, affecting removal from
Office of incompetent or unfit persons
employed in the government depart
ments. The gist of the decision is
that the heads of bureaus may re-
move when they find unfit" without
resorting to the usual filing and pro 2.
ing of charges.
The civil srvice will not inquire into
the causes of such removals, the state.
ment continues, unless it is charged
that the removal was made for politt-
cal or religious reasons"
"The idea that appointment to the
classified service insures a life tenure
is without foundation" is the last sell.
tence of the statement This action on
the part of the president and the COM.
mission was taken primarily for t. >
purpose of removing certain employees
in the New York custom house who
are believed to be dishonest.

Eighteen in Senate.
AMENDMENTS LOST

Three Republicans Voted Against the
Measure, and One Democrat For 1t.
Nicaragua Canal Bill Made Unfin-
lshed Business In Senate.
Washington, June 4.-Shortly after
5 O'Clock yesterday afternoon the SEN
ate passed the Lodge Philippine gov
eminent bill by a vote of 48 to 80.
Three Republicans, Messrs. Hoar, of
Massachusetts,; Mason, of Illinois, and
Wellington, of Maryland, voted against
the measure, and one Democrat, Mr..
McLaurin, OF South Carolina, voted for
it. All amendments offered by the
minority were rejected.
The debate on the measure has been
In progress seven weeks and two days.
Mr.. Lodge, of Massachusetts, chair.
man OF the Philippine committee, who
has been unremitting in his advocacy
of the measure, was the recipient of
many cordial congratulations on his
successful conduct of the bill.
Just at the close of the discussion, a
sharp exchange occurred between Mr..
Dietrict, of Nebraska, and Mr.. Patter-
son, of Colorado, in the course of
which the former reflected caustically
upon the Colorado senator. He was
called to order, his remarks were read
and he was declared to have been
out of order in uttering them. He
withdrew his statement, thus ending
the controversy.
During much of the time yesterday
the senate was in recess, no senator
caring to discuss the measure.
The Philippine government bill as
passed by the senate approves the ac-
ton of the president in creating the
Philippine commission and the Offices
Of civil governor and vice governor of
the islands, and authorizes the COVER
nor and vice governor to exercise the
powers of government as directed by
executive order. Future appointments
Of the governor or vice governor shall
be made by the president, with the ad-
vice and consent of the senate.
The bill of rights" of the United
States constitution are applied to the
Philippine Islands, with the exception
of the right to bear arms and the right
to a trial by jury. The supreme court
and other courts of the islands shall
exercise jurisdiction as heretofore pro-
vided by the Philippine commission,
and the justices of the supreme court
shall be appointed by the president
and the senate; the others by the civil
! government and the commission. All
the inhabitants of the Philippine
Islands are deemed to be citizens of
the Philippine Islands and entitled to
the protection of the United States
The Philippine commission is author
lied to establish municipal and pro-
vincial governments, with popular rep
resentative government so far, and as
fast as the communities are capable
and fit for the same, the Philippine
commission being authorized to deter

After the passage Of the Philippine
bill the Nicaragua canal bill was made

sideration began today.

Better of the Struggle, No Difficulty
Being Experienced In Filling the
Places of the Strikers.
Willlesbarre, Pa, June S.-The order
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, calling out on strike all engineers,
tiremen and pumpmen employed at
collieries where the eight-hour work
day with present wages was not graf
ed, went into effect yesterday, and,
as has been predicted, a majority of
the men obeyed the order Neither
side can claim victory at this time
because the struggle on this phase
of the anthracite coal miners strike
has just opened. There was only
partial showing of strength. The real
test of whether or not the mine pumps
shall be manned began today. AL
though a majority of the men quit
work, the companies, generally
speaking, succeeded in keeping their
pumps in operation The operators
Leel that at present they have the adj
vantage, but they are not so sanguine
of the future. The exact number of
men who quit work yesterday cannot
be obtained. Each side refuses to
make public their figures, but gave out
information that roughly estimates
the number of men affected. These
estimates are far apart.
National President Mitchell Of the
Miners Union, gave out a statement
yesterday, in which he said: IRE
ports received from every important
mining community indicate that where
the eight-hour day has not been con
ceded full so per cent. of the firemen,
pumpmen and engineers have ceased
work. The number will be materially
increased tomorrow. In some sections
mine foremen have positively declined
to perform the work of engineers, fire
men and pumpmen. In some places
foremen have manned the pumps, and
clerks have also been required to per
form this labor. A perfect army of
| irresponsible men have been employed
! by the coal companies to act as coal
and iron policemen. The services of
these men are unnecessary and their
| presence unwarranted. There have
been no violations of law by mine
workers, and l am sanguine there will
be no overt acts on the part of the
strikers" =.
On the other hand, a mining official
of one of the largest coal companies
who received accurate information
from the entire coal belt, made this
statement: President Mitchell's esti
mate is too high. We have received
figures from all our collieries and the
general superintendent of all the
other coal companies. but they are
not to be- given out, as it would no
be policy to reveal our weak spots o.
to betray our stronghOlds as far a!
they relate to the collieries individu
ally"
J. f. Mullahy, state secretary-treas
urers of the Stationary Firemenh
Union, last night issued a statement
in which he said: Reports received
at headquarters from all districts in
dictate that the firemen have obeyeC
the strike order almost to a man, anC
no doubt within the next "a hour
every fireman within our jurisdiction
will fall into line unless an eight-hou
day is granted"

Whose Chronicles we wondering hear;
Ezra and Nehemiah now
Esther, the beauteous maiden, show;

David in Psalms.
And Proverbs teach to scatter aims;
Ecclesiastes then comes on,
And the sweet Song Of Solomon;

Matthew. Mark, Luke and John;
Then come the Acts. inviting you
The apostolic church to view;
The Romans and Corinthians are
To cities sent, renowned afar;
Galatians and Ephesians then,
Wrote by the same inspired pen;
Philippians and Colossians stand
With Thessalonians nigh at hand;
Timothy leads to Titus on;
This brings us down to Philemon;
The Hebrews then we gladly find,
And that Of James comes close behind;
To Peter then our thoughts we give;
With loving John we wish to live;
Pious Jude will pierce the soul,
And Revelation close the whole.

Beet Sugar Men Introduce New Bill

Washington, June 4.-On behalf of
the 20 beet sugar senators who have
placed themselves in opposition to the
Aldrich-Platt plan for Cuban reciprOc-
ity, Senator Dietrich yesterday intro
duced bill amending the sugar sched-
ule in the Dingley tariff law. He pro-
poses to abolish the differential on re-

the tariff on raw sugars. In other
words, the bill increases the present
duty on raw sugar to the present duty
on refined sugar. 1t also gives %
per cent. tariff reduction to Cuban
sugars when the Cuban government
makes a reciprocal arrangement with
the United States.
The senator says that his bill will
compel those VINO have been advOcat-

injure and retard the upbuilding of the
sugar industry in the United States, to
declare themselves, whether they are
interested or not in helping Cuba or

Deeds of HernIsn,.

An American never fights as well as
when he is a civilian, taken out of the
ordinary walks of life, to fight for the
defense of his own home and native
land. Where in all the pages of his
tory can you find greater deeds Of her
oism than those exhibited in the south
ern army? The reason l use this as
an illustration is because the southern
army, being the defeated army, had to
suffer more. That army fought until
it could fight no more. The Confed-
crate soldiers fought until they had no
shoes upon their feet; they fought when
they had no food in their stomachsi
they fought until their clothes were in
tatters, and the southern ladies had to
tear up their dresses to bandage up
their wounds; they fought until the
slightest wound, on account of their
depleted physical system, would cause
death by gangrene; they fought until
they died.
