UNDER THE CIVIL SERVICE.
All LabOrers in Government De-
partments to be Included I'm
der Presidential Orde rs.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE laborers
employed in the government depart
ments will be brought into the civil
service under presidential orders, the
first of which will be issued in the
near future. The inclusions will be
made separately by departments, in
stead of in bulk. There was a confer
ence at Postmaster General Smiths
office yesterday between Mr.. Smith,
Secretary Hitchcock and Civil Service
Commissioner Foulke, at which the
classifications of laborers, and of
temporary employees appointed under
the ~eXigencies of the war with Spain,
were considered. No action will be ta-
ken as to temporary employees until
congress makes their Offices perma-
nent. Commissioner Foulke, however,
will prepare at once regulations for
the classification of laborers in sew
eral of the departments where Ia
borers are not already subject to reg
ulations. There will be no scholastic
examination, applicants being graded
according to experience and recon
mendations, with the required pref
erence to war veterans. This regis
tration system already is in opera
ton in the navy department under
regulations made during the Tracy
regime, and also is in force in the
wal department.

A VERY CLUMSY FORGERY.
failure of an Attempt to Secure the
Release of l.. G. Living
stOn, FOrEer.

Helena, Mont, Jan. 11.-A plot to
secur the release from the peniten-
tiary of L. c. Livingston, a forger,
sent from Silver Bow county in April,
1900, for five years, has failed. The
m of several prominent New
York men were forged to the petit
ton, which represented that Living
ston came from the distinguished
New York family Of that name, and
had served as a rough rider in Cuba.
Among the names signed to the
petition were Theodore Roosevelt,
August Belmont, Hugh j. Grant,
Thomas A. Edison, jerome w. Astor
and E. d. Morgan.
Gov. Toole's attention was called
to the forgery in a letter written by
President Roosevelt last June, sta
ting that he had learned of a clumsy
attempt to forge his name to a petit
ton for Livingston's pardon, and he
therefore warned the governor. When
the petition was received by the gov
ernor, a few days ago, he instituted
an investigation and ascertained that
the other signatures also were
forged.
