Almost Every Rab Broken.

NEW YORK, March 3.-While an- swering a telephone call last night Po-
 iceman James J. McHugh of the Brooklyn bridge police was crushed between trolley car and the frame work of the Brooklyn bridge structure, and nearly every rib in his body was broken. The car was crowded at the time, but no one inside was aware of the accident until after the car had been brought to a standstill and the cries of the man were heard. The mo- torman backed his car slowly and found that the body had been rolled between the side of the car and the bridge and could not be released He then started up slowly, with no better result, and this forwarding and back ing were kept up for four or five min utes until McHagh fell prostrate. From that position he was rescued. Wom- en, believing the policeman to have been killed, became panic stricken. Ambulance Surgeon Adams said the policeman had little chance of surviv- inR

A PLEASANT SURPRISE.
Ex-Mayor Charles Kerr and the Stranger from
 New York;
(From the Danbury New9.

J.
 As ex-Mayor Kerr was busily oc- cupied yesterday morning opening his mail and filling orders his office assistant announced a visitor. The caller was MT Jerome PIunkett, of New York. MT Plunkett said that he had sought the ex-mayor for the espec- ial purpose of giving him Linonine testimonial, that he had used Linonine with great success, and was recOm- mending 1t everywhere he went. Two years ago he was down sick with bronchius (which complaint he mad always suffered from) when his phy- sioian put him on Iinonine. His re- covery was so quick and thorough that he was pleased beyond measure, and had been sounding Linonine's praises ever since. MT Plunkett, re- lated several instances of where Lin onine has cured acquaintances of set tied coughs and lung difficulties and mentioned one case where particular friend of his, Pennsylvania manu- facturer, had been cured of consump- tion by Linonine. T MT PIunkett con cluded his pleasant visit by handing the ex-mayor this written statement:
 "Linonine cured me Of chronic bron chitis of long standing. I have not had a return of the cough in two years and never expect to be troubled with it again, for I continue to take Linonine as a preventive. l earnestly advise people who are subject to coughs and colds to use Linonine, for I am positive it will cure them of all consumptive tendenaies.-J er'o m e Plunkett, 1O2 Greenwich avenue, New York city,

Santo Domingo Rebellion.

WASHINGTON, March 3.-The state department is disinclined to take one side or the other in the revolution now going on in Santo Domingo, because it is realized that this rebellion may be continued for the very purpose of in ducing the United States to intervene and to recognize as authoritative the paramount government at the time of intervention. It is recognized that the time has come when something must be done to quiet the disturbing sle- ments and protect American trade in a way that shall render it possible for Santo Domingo to return to the indus tries which are at present utterly neg lected

THE CLASSIFIED SERVICE.
|. Must Keep Out OF Active Polltlcs,
Though Free 10 Vote.

Washington, Feb 27.-Replying to
query regarding the status of govern
ment employees in political matters,
Postmaster General Payne in a letter
says:
referring to your communication OF
the Goth inst, inclose herewith copy
of the rules governing civil service EN-
ployes. You will observe that it is not
deemed proper for employees of the
government who are within the CLASH
fed service to take an active part in
political matters. This would mean
that they should not serve as delegates
to any political convention or to act on
any political committee"
Mr.. Payne has all along drawn
sharp line between those in the CLASH
fed or civil service and in the unclassi-
fed service. According to former
order. postmastcrs or others holding
unclassfied positions are merely pro-
hibtcd from using their offices to con
troll political movements, from neglect
ing their duties or from causing public
scandal by political activity.
A person in the classified service has
right to vote as he pleases. and to
express privately his opinion on all
political subjects, bat he should take
no active part in political management
or in political campaigns.

No Money VIII Be Paid To Canal Co.
Until Title Is Clear.
THE DEPOSITORY BANKS READY.
They Are Fully Prepared For Tho Gall
For s5O.oOO,OOO to Pay the French
Company. May Investigate matter
In Paris

New York, Feb. 37.-Secretary Shaw
of the treasury department, was at the
subtreasury today, where he received a
number OF callers, including L. FL. Har-
riman, president of the Union Pacific
and Southern Pacific systems; Isaac N.
Seligman, of the j. & w. Seligman Co.;
James Stillman, president OF the Ma
tional City bank, and Valentine L.
Snyder, president of the National bank
of Commerce. Respecting the Panama
canal payment, the secretary said that
no call will be issued to the depository
banks for payment Of the S5O,0oo.o
involved until the attorney general had
passed upon the validity of the Panama
Canal Company's title.
1t is suggested that the treasury de-
partment may find it necessary to send
n representative to Paris to investigate
the phases of the litigation now pend
ing there, and, if this is done, payment
of the $40, 900, 900 to the canal company
will be indefinitely delayed.
In an interview with reporter OF
the Evening Post, Mr.. Shaw is quoted
as follows:
mo money will be paid over until
we are sure of clear title. That, L
think, we will secure beyond all doubt,
although it may take little time to
complete the formalitics and get the
papers in shape"
"Will it be necessary for our govern
ment to send representative to Paris?"
was asked.
1T may be-" Mr. Shaw replied.
"The call on the depository banks
will be made in time to have the fund
in hand n week or more before the
transfer has to be effected. If thought
that we had to pay the money over to
Panama in ten days, would send out
the call by wire Immediately. The
banks are today fully prepared for it,
and could finance the Withdrawals
without difficulty"

TO COVER THE HIGHER LEVELS
no Preference of National Banks is for
Sending Their Notes Where Ihey
VIII Never, or Scarcely Ever. Come
Back for Redemption.

New York. Feb 99.-An interesting
phenomenon in banking circles is the
way certain national banks on the
Pacific coast are engaged in taking ont
note circulation aud shipping it to the
Philippines. The war department has
no positive information, as to the rea-
sons for this. but the assumption is
that it means that the war in the east
has caused drain upon the Mexican
silver in the islands, and that the
Pacific coast banks are selling this
opening for their notes, which are
actually needed to fill void, ana
hence are eagerly welcomed.
For the larger denominations our
paper money is always popular on the
islands. The present emergency, IL Is
believed. will add to the favor in which
il is held commercially; and as the
Mexican dollar. once out of the Phlllp-
pines. will not be permitted to return,
orr paper is bound to become fixture
and have wider and wider usefulness
as local industrial development pro-
ceeols. The ultimate result counted on
is currency system which Will APP
Droximate that of the United States,
with our paper covering the highest
levels and the local silver coinage
taking subsidiary place.
At the treasury the phenomenon is
regarded as open to another eXplanal
tion-the universal preference of ma
tional banks for sending their notes
where they will never, or scarcely ever,
come back for redemption. 1t is noted
that, while California banks are ship
ping notes to the Philippines, Hawaiian
banks are sending them over to our
mainland In Hawaii. as on our gold
coast. the people have never taken
kindly to the use of paper currency
but the banks find profit in taking
out notes and sending them here. on
the ground that the distance is too
great to Justify their return, except in
emergencies, or when so soiled and
mutilated as to require exchange for
fresh notes. 1t is thought that possibly
the shipments from California TO the
Philippines may be explained on this
theory. The full truth may lie some
where between the two ideas
