HEFFELFINGER CALLS
He Looks Over the Civil Service
Commission.

Washington. April 1s.-The United
States civil service commission will in all
probability be entirely reorganized before
the end of the present year. This fact be-
came apparent yesterday during a call at
the office of the commission of w. w.
Heffelhnger of Minneapolis who is con-
siderng an offer from President Roose-
welt Of the vacancy created by the resig-
nation of James A. Garfield who left the
commission to head the bureau Of corpo-
rations of the new department of COM
merce and labor.
Mr. Heffelfnger has not yet decided
whether he will accept the place. It. is
probable that his deliberation is due in
part to his knowledge that the commits
sion will in all probability be reorganized
by President Roosevelt Mr.. Heffelfnger
left for New York to-day.

Who blundered ih ordering the Mediter-.
ranean squadron to, Marseilles: after the
United States had refused to accept the
kaisers invitation for the squadron to
visit Kiel? This Is the question that Is
being asked In official circles: That it is
q ,blunder is generally admitted and there
is no surprise that the German papers are
indignant over what they term "A smack
in the face Of Germany" ~ g q
The o6cia1 explanation is that We did
not accept the kaisers invitation, because
to do so would require the squadron to
leave its station, and that the ships were
ordered to Marseilles because they were
already in Mediterranean waters. But it
is pointed out that a little tact would
have found convenient occupation for the
squadron in some other part of the Medt-
terranean sea in order to avoid accept
ance of an invitation to participate in the
French festivities. r.
Altho it is: the prevailing opinion here
that the German papers have become IN
duly excited and that talk of this incident
being an insult to Germany is quite ridic-
ulous, there is at the same time a feel
ing that American salutes to President
Loubet should not been permitted to fol-
low so close upon the heels of regrets to
Emperor William. They take these things
more seriously on the other side than we,
do on this, and therefore the more reason
why care should be exercised not to per-
NIT courtesy to one nation to be dis
torted into an affront to another sa.

President Gotshau Of the New-York and Port
Chester Railroad Company deserves the sup
port Of the people Of New-York In his honest
and manly resistance OF the Tammany efforts to
make him pay brides for franchises. 1t must
have been q great temptation for a man with
the responsibility for carrying TO success large
business enterprise to make whatever terms
were demanded to secure privileges to which
he was fairly entitled He might have per-
suaded himself that he asked nothing but what
was proper. that it was the duty OF the alder
men toward him and toward the people Of The
Bronx to let the railroad be built and that, IL
they would not d. their duty without money
incentive, he was justified IN applying the nee
essary pressure to move them In the right direc-
ton. Many a corporation manager who passed
as an honest and respectable citizen has thus
argued with himself. Mr.. Gotshall declined to
indulge IN such casuistry. He would get his
franchises honestly on the merits Of what be
proposed or he would not get them at all. To
the Tsmmany suggestion that payment was
in order he gave a defiant answer. which is said
10 have been couched in about these words: I'm

The suspension Of hostilites in the Balkan
must be particularly welcome to the much
vexed Forte because Of the rebellion in Air.
The latter is apparently more serious than was
at first supposed and may call for the putting
forth of considerable strength by the Turkish
Government. On the face of it, it is only the
resistance of a couple of local tribes to some
new tax. But ii may easily grow into wide
spread revolt against the authority of the Sui
tan. Air, it Is to be observed, lies Just south
Of Mecca and between that city and Yemen. 1t
is much more closely related 10 Yemen than to
Hedjaz. at the north. Indeed Air and Yemen
are likely to act together. and serious rebellion
IN the one can scarcely avoid involving the
other This danger is the greater for the rea-
son that Yemen has long cherished chronic
disaffection toward the Turkish Sultan. Beyond
doubt a general insurrecdon in those two prov
inces. the most remote Of all in the empire,
would be an awkward and ominous thing for
the Sublime Porte to deal with.
Turkish interest in these somewhat neglected
provinces of Arabia is intensified. and Turkish
solcihIde for their preservation to the empire
is deepened, by the consideration that one of
these days the Tribe of Gilman may have to re-
treat thither. as to its last resort Egypt and
Tripoli are now lost to the Sultan. The loss Of
Macedonia and the bulk of Thrace seems to be
within measurable distance. Russia has filed
her caveat upon Armenia, and Germany has
strong hold upon most of Asia Minor and Syria
Only the Red Sea provinces Of Arabia remain
reasonably secure. They are for the present Sc
cure from foreign menace, and it devolves upon
the Porte to hold them against domestic revolt.
This is matter of vital Importance TO the
Sultan, because it is in those provinces that the
holy cities Of Medina and Mecca are situated, to
which necessarily the hearts Of Moslems the
world over turn, and TO which yearly vast pill
grimages of the Faithful are made. Upon his
retention Of those cities depends the Sultan's
retention Of the august title Of Caliph of Islam.
We may be sure, therefore, that no matter
what happens elsewhere, no pains will be
spared in suppressing the revolt in Air and in
holding the Arabian provinces for the Sultan Of
Stamboul.
