One Jew was brought in with one

Postal Inspection to Be Extended.

Inspection by civil service authorities
OF clerical lists in postohices probably
will occur outside OF Washington.
President Proctor, OF the Civil Service
Commission, who is watching the in
spection OF the local postoffice. said
that he hoped the work would be cx-
tended to include many other Offices.
The practice OF transferring postal
clerks from outside Offices to civil SER
vice places in Washington has now
ceased completely, the recent orders OF
President Roosevelt, Mr.. Proctor said,
stopping that practice. There were un-
doubtedly many instances, said Mr..
Proctor, as has been shown in the re-
ports OF the commission, where clerks
were put into postoffices about to be
classified, with the purpose OF having
them transferred to the classified ser
vice in the department.
Under the new rules all such clerks
in postoffices must have served six
months before they are eligible for a
transfer; and, moreover, il transfer is
contemplated, under the rules the clerk
desiring it must pass an examination
Tor the new work in view.

JACKSONVILLE FLOODED.
A Square Mic Of the City is Under
Wafer.

Jacksonville. Fla. (Speciar The rain
which had been falling incessantly for
several days assumed about daybreak
almost the proportions OF a cloud
burst, and when the citizens prepared to
leave for their places OF business many
of them found their homes completely
surrounded by water.
Many were driven from their rest
dcnccs or forced to go to upper stories
by the water that in some cases reach.
cd the level OF the first-story windows
In all as much as one square mile OF
the town was under water. Fully a
haf-mile OF Bay street, the principal
thoroughfarc OF the city, was under
water, and much damage was done tc
stocks of goods
On this street mule hitched TO a
wagon got beyond its depth and was
drowned. and the driver, attempting to
cut it from the vehicle, nearly lost his
life. Skiffs and later in the day a nap
tha launch were plying on Bay street
removing people from their submerged
homes.
The water was two feet deep in the
waiting-room Of the Union Depot, and
every railroad track entering the city
was under water.
The damage to the railroads in and
near the city is considerable. The rain
i'll its intensity seemed to be local, and
the railroads are not damaged except
in and near the city.
The city was in total darkness. The
water was foot deep in the electric
light powerhouse and stopped the dy-
namo. The damage to the electric
light plant, which belongs to the city,
is estimated at $4,000. 1t will take prob
ably $4,000 to put the streets and
bridges in repair.
The railroads suffered losses prob
ably amounting to 100000. The losses
oi individuals cannot be accurately es-
timated. Many bridges in the county
were washed away. The total loss will
probably not be less than 100000.
In addition to this, it is feared that
Bridge street viaduct which cost $780,
600. has been made dangerous by the
food. Ropes were stretched across the
viaduct to keep the crowd off.
Five houses were overturned or de-
moiished near the banks OF Hogans
Creek, in the negro part OF the town.
They were all small. The foundations
OF many others in the same locality
were undermined, and they were rem
dcred unnhabitable A number OF nc
gro families were rendered homeless.
The total rainfall for the "a hours
ended at a. m. amounted to S4I
inches.

NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS.
Land Lost BY the N,yy.

Acting Secretary OF the Navy Darl-
ing has just discovered that the Sum
dry Civil bill passed by the last session
OF Congress gives to the Treasury De
partment for usc as an immigration
station several acres out OF the naval
reservation at Honolulu
As a result oi the discovery there is
considerable vexation shown by the
Navy Department, officials OF which de
clare there has been a practice made
OF the insertion OF obscure paragraphs
in other than naval bills whereby land
has been taken away from the navy
without its knowledge.
One high official said that things
were evidently coming to the point
where it would be necessary for the
protection OF the navy to employ a
man during Congress to examine all
bills to see that the Navy Department
property is not molested. Acting Sec
retary Darling pointed out that this is
the second time the Treasury Depart
ment had thus benefited, a section in
one OF the bills having deity set aside
for use as an immigration station at
San Diego, Cal, six acres in the heart
OF the naval reservation there.
