NO HEARING NEEDED.


MARTY DISMISSED.
washington, Dec. 11.-An order Of
the president Published in the Nove1n-
Der Postal guide, gives the head Of an
executive department power to sum-
marily remove employees without 2
hearing.
The new order differs from the one
formerly in effect in that the old rule
provided that the discharged employe
should be given an opportunity to re-
ply before the civil service commits
sion regarding the charges made
against him, and this latter body acted
as reviewing authority.
It was easier in many instances nm
der the old rule, it is said to stand
for the shortcomings Of an incompe-
tent man than to attempt to have him
removed.
The presidents new order is as fol.
lows:
ssWhen the president or head Of an
executive department is satisfied that
an officer or employe in the classified
service is inefficient or incapable and
that the public service will be materi-
ally improved by his removal, such
removal will be made without hear
ing; but the cause of removal shall
be stated in writing and filed. When
misconduct is committed in the pres.
ence of the president or head of ar
executive department. removal may be
made summarily and without notice. .

JOHN NIPPLE MITCHELL

John Nipple Mitchell was born in
Washington county, Pennsylvania,
June %, 1885. During his infancy he
was taken to Butler county, where he
was reared on farm. He secured the
rudiments of an education at district
school, and when II began teaching to
secure means to pay his tuition at But
Ter academy, from which he later
graduated. After graduation from the
academy he studied law in the Office
of the then attorney general of Penn
sylvania, Hon. Samuel A. Purviance.
He practiced law in Pennsylvania
until April, 1860, when he went to
California, locating first at San Luis
Obispo and later at San Francisco.
In July Of that year he came to Port
land. The energy that has character
lied his whole career caused his cleo
ton ON the Republican ticket, as town
counsel of Portland in 1861. The next
year he was elected to the state SEN
ate. He failed of election to the
United States senate in 1885 by one
vote. In 1862 he formed law part
nership with the late United States
Senator. J. N. Dolph, enduring until
1872, when Mr.. Mitchell was elected
to the senate. A Democratic legisla.
ture in 1879 failed to return him to
the senate. He engaged in the prac.
tice of law in Portland until 1885,
when he was reelected United States
senator at special session Of the leg
islature, that body having failed to
choose senator either in 1881 or 1883.
He failed be returned in 1897 and fol.
lowed his profession in partnership
with Judge A. H. Tanner, until 1901,
when the legislature again chose him
as one of the states representatives in
the United States senate.
Few public men have been assailed
and withstood SO much vigorous oppo.
.sition, retaining in q remarkable de.
gree his wonderful sway Of men,as did
the aged Oregon senator. It was only
when his connection with the conspir.
acy to defraud the government of its
public domain was made manifest by
his conviction in the federal court
that he lost the political influence
which he had held for greater part
of half century.
Senator MitchelIs indictment in
connection with land frauds, his trial
and conviction, are recent history and
familiar to all newspaper readers.

turning the Russian Kingdom.

st. petersburg, O0C. 11.-Au0 EoesC-
tionarise have won victory, and
Count Sergius Witte, formerly looked
upon as the hope and friend of the
common people, has gone over to the
camp Of the enemy and is now an un-
compromising repressionist.
He has become convinced that it is
impossible to satisfy the people or to
give them that degree Of freedom
which they desire without completely
overturning the Russian kingdom.
Consequently he has consented to the
use of force in putting down all upris-
ings against the czar, and has caused
the civil governors throughout Russia
to be informed that they will be held
personally responsible if the condi-
tions of mutiny which now exist con-
tinue any longer.
"Put down all uprisings, no matter
at what COST" he is declared to have
said in message sent to the comman-
ders of the various governments.
''It is immaterial to me how you re-
store order, but it must be done i'm
mediately or you will be the sufferer.
viii Torture Prisoners.
Immediately following this order
three members of the workingmen' 4
council, who have been in charge OF
the strike in this city, were arrested,
badly beaten and locked up. It is un.
derstood that they are to be tortured
until they reveal the plans of the
strike committee.
The report that Witte has gone over
to the anti-reform element came as 8
severe blow to the midway reform
ers" who have been advocating pol
icy of Cancellation. It is certain tc
have the effect of precipitating the
general strike, which it had beer
hoped would not be called before ear
ly in the new year, if at all. It is un
derstood that the leaders of the work
men have practically decided to send
out new general strike order at once
Dispatches from Warsaw declare
that the garrisons at Lodz, Lublen and
other cities in Southern Poland are il
state of mutiny. Only the Cossackl
remain loyal to the government and
they are being kept in service day and

dents and socialists.
Troops rlutiny at LODI.
A detachment of troops were or
dered to rife upon a parade of Social
lists who had been driven from thei1
hall by Cossacks and were marching
the streets of Lodz. The troops re-
fused, saying they saw no reason tt
interfere. The colonel of the regi
ment shot and killed q private who
had refused to load his gun when or.
dered. The colonel was in turn shot
and killed by a sergeant Of his OWE
command. The soldiers then broke
away from their officers and joined in
the Socialist procession.
The troops returning from Manchu'
ria are reported to have sacked the
railway tsations and pillaged hun.
dreds of shops in tibet owns along the
railway.
No news has been received of the
conditions at Hardin other than that
the troops were practically in state
of mutiny, ddefying their officers,
robbing and plundering righta nd left
and shooting down all who oppose
them.
