Suubbed the Duke of York.

Listening to the conversation Of the
Canadian Mounted Police, as one en-
counters them everywhere III the
Northwest, it is distinctly evident that
they are men of different stripe from
the Tommy Atkins of the British regu-
lars. The Mounted Policeman is a
head, not an automatOm nor a funky.
This was curiously Illustrated during
the visit of the Duke Of York to the
Territories last year. AS the royal train
drew In to one of the frontier towns,
two liveried outrunners dashed breath
lessly to the platform, shouted eXcit'
edly for the police ito get out the roy
al horses" The troopers of the unver-
sity type smiled and said nothing: but
one of the frontiersmen in khaki
frowned and took a bite of chewing
tobacco.
The two little men In royal livery
became apoplectic.
Don't you men hear? Get out the
horses. Who's going to get out the
hOrSes?"
The trooper in khaki again calmly
took consolation for the Insult from his
tobacco. "IIave some? No? Horses
Did you say horses? Well-dOn't burst
your buttons. What do you think you
are for? Get 'em out yourself. Les

fine horses drew up at the Arlington

man with closely cropped white
beard alighted. The coachman, as
straight as ramrod, sat in the driver 5

The action recently taken by the va
vious State Legislatures with refer
ence to a constitutional amendment
for the direct election Of Senators by
the people shows not only the wide
spread interest in the reform but the
strength Of opinion in It's favor where
the issue has been brought to the test
of vote. 1t appears that thirty-six
State Legislatures have had the pro-
posal before them. and that OF these
,twenty-one have Endorsed it, while
fourteen have failed to indorse IT. In
only five States. Massa chusetts, Maine.
Pennsylvania, New York and Ohio. has
the proposal been voted on without
carrying. Maine, however, did not
finally reject 1t, but postponed 1t to
the next session. In most Of the other
States that are listed against 1t it was
buried in committee, and will surely
be heard from in future Legislatures.

in another 1t passed both houses but

AS to ask their Senators and Congress
men to vote for the submission Of an
amendment. The other twelve, how
ever, took the radical step Of demand
ing that Congress call a constitutional
convention to submit the amendment.
These twelve States are:
California. Nevada.
Illinois. North Carolina.
Minnesota. North Dakota.
Missouri. Oregon.

| Nebraska. Wisconsin.
The federal Constitution has existed
one hundred and fourteen years with
out the need Of a constitutional con-
vention to revise it. Such a convep-
ton will not be necessary now, but 1t
will only be when almost all Of the
required two-thirds Of the States have
demanded 1t that the privileged Senate
will be induced to yield to popular will
and permit the submission Of an
amendment direct to the States. The
time Is doubtless not far distant when
the twelve States that have made the
call will find eighteen more arrayed at
their side, and the reform will be as
sured.

CINNABAR, Mcnt., April 16.-President
Roosevelt came into Fort Yellowstone to-
day looking to be in splendid condition and
enthusiastic over the good time he has had.
Secretary Loeb met him at Major Pitchers S
headquarters and the two transacted some
routine business, the first work the Pres
ident has done with his secretary since
going into the park. After his return from
the President Secretary Loeb issued the
following statement:
Major Pitcher reports that the President
and his party have returned from their
eight days horseback trip in the north of
the park and along the Yellowstone. The
party consisted of the President, Major
Pitcher, John Burroughs, an orderly, the
scouts and the packers with the mule train.
All of the party are in excellent health and
not an accident of any kind occurred. On
entering the park the President informed
Major Pitcher that he would not under
any circumstances fire shot at anything
while in the park, and he took neither
rifle nor shotgun with him. The party had
some good fishing and the President and
Mr.. Burroughs spent a large part of their
time in following and watching at close
quarters the great herds of game, chiefly
elk but also mountain sheep, deer and
antelope. The party starts tomorrow for
the interior of the park to visit the geysers
and perhaps the falls OF the Yellowstone.
They will go in sleighs, on horseback or on
skis, according to the condition of the

The President has accepted an invitation
to lay the cornerstone of the new gate at
the northern boundary of the Yellowstone
Park. The ceremony will occur during the

DECoYED FROM THE SOUTH.
Victim Of New York's Barrel Mystery
Possibly from New Orleans.

NEW YORK, April 16.-Vito Laduco, who
was supposed to have been the proprietor
Of the butcher shop in Stanton street,
where nine arrests were made last night in
connection with the murder of the man
found in barrel in East Eleventh street
last Tuesday morning, surrendered himself
at police headquarters to-day and was held
witness. Nikola Testro, nineteen years
old, who lives with Laduco, also went to
police headquarters and was detained for
the same purpose.
At the place in Elizabeth street kept by
Giuseppe Morello, who was one of the men
arrested last night, the police have locked
the doors and placed heavy padlocks on
them. Through the glass in the windows
can be seen several large barrels that bear
resemblance to the barrel In which the
murdered man was found. The barrels in
Eleventh street had two wooden hoops and
a wire hoop at both top and bottom. The
nothing but wire hoops. In the store was
found a quantity of sawdust and burlap,
and Detective Petrosino took some of it to
police headquarters to-day for examination
and comparison with that found in the
barrel and about the murdered mans neck.
The police are now said to believe that the
murdered man was decoyed from New Or
leans to New York and murdered in a cafe
in Elizabeth street. They believe he brought
with him, full of his own clothing, the bar
rel in which his body was found. The bar
rel is one of a shipment of $50 sent TO New

PHILADELPHIA, April 16.-WiIliam
Dudley Foulke, of Indiana, United States
civil-service commissioner, delivered an ad-
dress tonight at the annual meeting of the
Civil-service Reform Association of Penn
sylvania, and replied to an article by
former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Frank A. Vanderlip on the competitive
system of appointments under the civil
service law. Mr.. Foulke pointed out the
hexibility Of the civil-service law as DEM
onstrated by its application to numerous
and varying conditions in the twenty years
1t had been in force.
"A few improvements upon IL have been
made in the Philippine civil-service reform
law" he said, notably the provision that
no one. whether in or out of the federal
service, may solicit subscriptions for po-
litical purposes from officeholders. The old
law, however, as whole, is better than
any substitute that has been proposed, and
Infinitely superior to any measure of State
or city civil service now in force. II has
been urged by Mr.. Vanderlip that the COM
petitive system of making appointments is
responsible for a large and constantly
growing class of officeholders who are in
When you consider the average of ap-
pointees under the civil-service law Is twen-
ty-eight years, and that the Law has been
in force twenty years, Ii will be clear tina t
the average age of the first appointees is
fifty years. i suggest that provision may
be made even for the superannuated with

policies by those who enter the government

and was then taken to some quiet resi-
dence. where he will be kept away from all
callers for a week at least. Mr.. and Mrs.
Duhme to-day made no attempt to see the
boy. and they also refused 10 talk until
they saw their attorneys.
Mrs. Duhme. when asked about the case
this afternoon, said: II have always tried

seeking his money, and bitterly regret the
trouble that has been caused All will come
out right in the end. we feel certain.
Frederick S. Chase. father of the boy
said he was greatly shocked to find the lad
in such a pitiable condition. He looked
careworn and weary after his long search
for Moses. and said that up to the time he
met the boy at the pier he had hoped there
was some chance for him.
Daniel w. Simms this afternon told of the
scene at the pier when young Chase ar
rived in New York. He said that the father
went aboard government tug that
steamed alongside the steamer Kronpprinz
Wilhelm, and that the father and son met
on board the steamer. AS they came face
to face there was not the slightest sign of
a recognition on the part OF the boy. The

tickets were bought for Newark. From
there the party bought tickets for the West

Chicago was slow one, and then the party

Strict guard will be kept over him until
then.
Judge E. p Hammond to-day made a
charge that the Duhmes have will in
which Moses Fowler Chase bequeaths to
them his entire fortune Judge Hammond
says the instrument was made while Chase
was insare. He says this is the whole rea-
son for the Duhmes' interest in the boy.
