All Except Those Under Civil
Service Rules May Exercise a
Decent Interest in Politics.
MAY EXPRESS OPINION

WASHINGTON, Feb. A.-Replying to a
query regarding the status of government
employees in political matters, Postmaster
General Payne in a letter to-day says:
Referring 10 your communication of the
10th instant 1 inclose herewith copy of
the rules governing civil service employees.
You will observe that it is not deemed
proper for employees or the government
who are within the classified 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 a sharp
line between those in classified or civil
service and in the unclassihed service Ac-
cording TO a former order postmasters or
others holding unclassified positions are
merely prohibited from using their Offices

COURT DENOUNCES
CO-EMPLOYES LAW
Says 1t Is Responsible for Much OF
the Misery and Suffering in
the Country.

NEW LONDON, Conn, Feb. 24-In
awarding nominal damages of $50 in a suit
brought against the New York, New Haven
& Hartford Railroad by the administrator
of the estate of Sylvester Sullivan, Judge
Wheeler. in the Superior Court, to-day
criticised sharply the Connecticut law re-
quiring such a decision. Sullivan was a
section hand who was killed by a train
which was backed down on a hand car on
which he was riding, the section foreman
having failed to set a signal of warning
to the trainmen. The decision says in
effect that under the law the defendant
railroad Is not liable for the failure of the
section foreman to perform his duty OF
properly signaling the train. In discussing
the law, Judge Wheeler says:
THE co-employe doctrine is not only
responsible for causing an untold amount
of misery to friends of the dead and those
left behind to be supported by charity OF
individuals or the State, but IL sends forth
into society hundreds and thousands each
year manned and unfit TO earn even pre-
carious living. 1t is directly responsible fol-

PRODUCED by Representative Overstreet, of
Indiana, relating TO the use of privately
owned freight cars on the railroads of the
country where such use of cars extends TO

merce Commission that the use of private

NAVAL ESTIMATES
FOR GREAT BRITAIN
Large Increase Largely Due to the
Purchase of Chilean
BattleShips.

LONDON, Feb. 24.-The British naval es-
Inmates for 1904-05 total 1854 Az, 900, net in
crease of s1216O.OOo over the estimates for
1903-04
More than half the increase is due to the
determination to pay the entire balances
due on the recently-purchased Chilean bat
tleships on April 1, and to provide them
with ammunition for the next year. The
remainder of the increase arises from ex-
pansion of the fleet, increase in pay of the
personnel and material.
The estimates provide for a total of $751;
go, $50 for new construction, of which $780,
4l5 will be devoted to the commencement of
new ships. The Admiralty will devote
$9,050.000 TO the purchase of armor during
the coming year, and says IL now has no
difficulty in securing an adequate supply
of the quality desired.
In submitting the estimates the Earl of
Selborne first lord of the admiralty, said
the Admiralty was aware that the esti-
mates are large, but Parliament must re-
member how great is the responsibility
cast upon the Board of Admiralty in pro-
viding the country with a navy strong
enough to sustain struggle with the
navies of any two powers and to insure
reasonable security for the country's vast
seaboard trade and the food supply of the
people.

NAVAL BILL BREEDS TWO
STORMS IN THE House
Great Lakes Training Station
Scheme Is Wrecked During
One of the Gales.
BURTON WHIPPED ABOUT

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2i.-Two storm GEN.
tiers were encountered in consideration of
the naval appropriation bill in the House
to-day. First. the great lakes training sta
ton went out of the bill on a point of
order after a wordy battle. The building
programme proposed in the bill then met
criticism and blocked further progress of
the measure for the day.
Mr.. Burton, CT Ohio, the echoes of whose
sensational speech for peace on Monday
had hardly died out moved to strike out
the provision for the single battleship, au-
thorized. This motion is now pending. 1t
served as a text after Mr.. Burton had sup
plemented his Mondays speech with figures
showing that the United States was build
ing more naval vessels than any other
European country, except Great Britain,
for several Republican speeches in which
Mr.. Burton was declared not to be in line
with his party.
In the event of the defeat of this motion
and in the acceptance of the whole build
ing programme, movement is TO be made
tomorrow by Representative Meyer, of
Louisiana, to have the bill recommitted to
the naval committee with the following
instructions: First 10 provide for a coal
ing station and dock at OlongapO, instead
of naval station; second, to eliminate the
provision for two armored cruisers, and
the armor thereof costing $4,000 900; third,
10 place limit or S3yS per ton as a maxi
mum price for armor-plate, with the pro-
vision for an armor-plate factory TO cost
not over 100000, if the armor cannot be
procured within the limit prescribed; fourth,
that all vessels herein provided for under
the head of increase of the navy" except
the battleship be constructed in government
navy yards.
During the debate to-day Mr.. Grosvenor
criticised Mr.. Burton's position. He read
the plank on the navy in the Ohio Repub-
lican platform of 1903, on which, he said,
the late lamented Senator Hanna was so
triumphantly indorsed. This plank, he said,
Mr.. Burton had certainly indorsed, at
least he had not repudiated it. 1t read:
LAS Americas part in preserving the peace
of the world we indorse the Republican
policy of developing the United States navy
TO the highest efficiency" This was read
with applause.
Mr.. w. w. Kitchin asked if this was the
national platform.
"Oh, no." replied Mr.. Grosvenor. 81 am
just appealing to my brother to get back. "
Il don't want to interfere in the least
with an Ohio family quarrel" remarked
Mr.. Kitchin, amid laughter.
Il belong to a church that believes in the
full liberty of backsliding," continued Mr..
in. Therefore / am jealous of the condition
of my colleague" Laughter
Peace on earth and good will among
men depended on good ships and good
guns, was Mr.. Grosvenor's announced doc
trine. He appealed to the Democrats
Don't forsake the only good thing there is
in your record. Don't go after new idols.
You started off on Panama, but most of
you are back on the reservation"

AGRICULTURAL BILL
DEBATED IN SENATE

WASHINGTON, Feb 24-The Senate
spent the greater part of to-day discussing
an amendment to the agricultural appro-
priation bill striking out the House pro-
vision giving authority to the secretary of
agriculture to inspect imported food prod
ucts when misbranded or suspected of i'm
purity. The amendment was suggested by
Mr.. Aldrich, who said the provision opened
the way for an encroachment by the secre-
tary of agriculture on the duties of the sec
rotary of the treasury and calculated
to cause duplication in the services of the
two officials. Messrs. Lodge, Beverage, Pat
terson and others supported Mr.. Aldrich.
Mr. Proctor, in charge of the bill, defended
the provision and had the aid of Messrs.
Dolliver, McComas, Bacon and others. The
discussion closed by substituting the
provision of the act of 1900 bearing on the
same point This solution OF the problem
was suggested by Mr.. Proctor and was ac-
copied by all
Consideration of the bill practically was
concluded, but final action on IL was post
poned until tomorrow in order to allow
an inspection Of ii as amended.

CANAL COMMISSIONERS
WHO AGREE TO SERVE
Two of Presidents Appointees De
cline on Account of Pressure of
Private Business.
WANTS WORK TO START

WASHINGTON, Feb "a. = President
Roosevelt has received definite acceptances
from five of his appointees on the new
isthmian canal commission. namely: Rear
Admiral John G. Walker, U. S. N, retired;
Gen. George w. Davis. U. S. A, retired;
Col. Frank Hecker, of Detroit, director of
transportation during the Spanish-Ameri-
can war; William Barclay Parsons. en-
gineer of the New York subway. and Will
liam II. Burr, professor of engineering at
Columbia University, New York, and one
time member of the Walker iSthm1an
canal commission
1t is quite likely although it has not
been determined absolutely yet, that the
other two members of the commission will
be Benjamin NJ. Harrod, of New Orleans.
an engineer of the Mississippi river com
mission, and G. Ewald Grunsky, of San
Francisco, a distinguished hydraulic en-
gineer. 1t is believed Mr.. Grunsky will ac-
cept.
1t was hoped by the President that Alfred
Noble, engineer of the Pennsylvania Rail
road, would accept one of the appointments,
but ii is understood tonight that he has
declined definitely. His work for the Penn
sylvania system is in such shape as prac-
tically to preclude the possibility of his I'M
dertaking the canal commission work.
The President expects TO complete the per-
tomorrow. He will send the appointments
Immediately to the Senate for confirmation
He is extremely anxious that there should
be long delay in the practical work OF
digging the canal by the United States.
Ii is understood the President will recon-
mend salary for each of the commission
ers of from $4,000 10 $4,000 a year. These
appointments virtually will be for life for
it is not contemplated that the canal can
be completed for at least twenty-five years.
By the terms of the Spooner act these
canal commissioners, however, need not
spend all their time on the canal work
nor are they required to spend any definite
amount Of time on the isthmus in direct
supervision of the work. They are 20 act
more in an advisory capacity and plan the
work to be carried on by subordinate en-
Moves.
