has conveyed to the president the
assurances Of the Japanese govern.

Taft says the rioting has subsidized
and that the members Of his party
have not been subjected to the least
indignity. He expresses confidence
that the friendship Of Japan for Amer.
lea is abiding. Following is the text
of Secretary Taft's dispatch, which
was made public by direction Of the
president: 5.a

Abingdon, has been chosen TO succeed
him. The change will take effect May l.
Ever since his reelection to Congress
last November Representative Slemp, of
tie Ninth Virginia district. has been
working hard to get good Federal
lob for Summers.
1t was largely through the work of
the latter that the Republican majorf-
ties were increased in the Ninth dis
trict, for as chairman of the district
committee Summers conducted the cam
paign on up-to-date lines.
Immediately after the campaign Slemp
started out to land Summers iii the
position of United States attorney for
The Western district, but this place Is
held by Thomas Lee Moore, q personal
friend of the Presidents, and Slemp had
to take another tack. After long and
persistent effort, with the help OF other
members of the new Republican organi-

Tt now seems inevitable that the

that the entire Russian army will be
cut up. The Russians have lost prae-

ARMY OFFICERS AGENTS

President Roosevelt has promulgated
several amendments to the civil service
rules, the general effect of which is to
increase the scope OF what is known as
the competitive service and TO make
some changes in permitting appoint
nents to certain positions, of specially
qualified persons without examination.
Inspectors of surveyors. general and
district land offices, and special agents
OF the General Land Office, are here
after net to be appointed, as they have
been heretofore, without examination
These positions were formerly in the
excepted classes, and were filed by the
Secretary of the Interior without com
Petition Hereafter they viii be hlied

Special Agents
To the last quoted rule there is an ex-
ception in the case OF flve positions OF
special agent of the General Land ONCE
These five excepted men are 10 inyesti-
gate fraudulent entries and other mat
ters of a criminal nature. They are still
to be appointed without examination.
Another amendment adopted by the
President applies to retired army Off
GERS.
As retired army officers are sometimes
especially fitted for ,sischarging the
duties OF Indian agents, which duties
are imposed in some cases on superin-
tendents OF Indian schools. the President
has provided that where 1t is shown thai
a retired army officer has the required
educational and business qualifications
for the position. he may be appointed az
a superintendent of an Indian school
Indian Physicians.
The civil service rules have heretofore
allowed the appointment of Indian ply
gieians receiving less than s72o per an
mum salary. on contract. without exam
ination.
The contract upon which Indian ply
sicians have been employed Is required
by the United States statute to be Yer!

pose OF simplifying the appointment o
