ENGLISH CIVIL SERVICE.
Laws Strictly Enforced-No Man APP
pointed or Dismissed for
Politics.

The civil service laws Of Great Britain
are rigidly enforced. Civil servants OBJ
tain their positions by merit after ex-
animation. and retain their places dur
ing good behavior If competent, says the
Philadelphia Ledger. The incoming of
the new liberal government in England
will not disturb a single postmaster in
the United Kingdom. The vast army OF
clerks, subordinates and under officials
OF all kinds will scarcely be aware OF
the fact that there is a change of ad-
ministration. There are certain num-
Der of higher officials whose posts arc
properly considered political. inasmucn
as they are intrusted with the duty OF
carrying out a liberal and conserva-
tive policy; but the mass of officeholders
are secure in their positions. and so we'll
fixed is the policy of maintaining a per-
manent force Of trained officials that
the removal of ordinary civil servants
for political reasons would be left by the
people generally to be violent and I'M
justifiable act which would react with
terrible force upon the ministry.
1t is not to be supposed that the Eng
lish, because of this admirable system,
have been elevated into a rareiied atmos-
phere where partisanship has been BAN
ished, or that party zeal is not rewarded.
In addition to the As leading officials Of
political character. with an annual sal
airy list of $7SG,00O. who step down and
OUT with a change of ministry. each
government during its term of life fills
large number of vacancies caused by
deaths, designations, disability and re-
moval for incompetence. Naturally the
ministry in power gives the places. as a
rule, to members of its own party. Dur
ing the ten years Of recent conservative
rule the conservative party has had the
appointment Of 35 judges in the United
Kingdom, with aggregate salaries of
$1,000. 900 year, in addition to an army
OF recorders. clerks. minor magistrates
and the like. Many of the appointees
were conservatives. but the liberal gov

QUEER PARTISAN RESORT.

A shrewd but unscIentifc person

of the principal facts which would sup

Whether this proclivity shows de-

the mania for tree climbing endures.

INVASION OF SEA GULLS.
The Immense Flock That Regularly

said an alliterative passenger on

the New York Press. one dark and
threatening morning as the boat ap-
preached the New York slip.

over the irregular basin formed by
Governors Island, the Brooklyn and

gulls were fying-now in straight
lines, now in sweeping circles. now

wings and flinging of stray. over
the tunnels of the tugs. steamers and
ferryboats which always crowd the
waterway they flew, darting down be-
tween the gliding bulls and calling
to each other now and then with harsh
cries. There were gray gulls and
white ones, big ones and little ones and
the misty air palpitated with the rush
and beat of their wings. They seemed
as much at home and as devoid OF
rear as If they had been flying along
some lonely Jersey beach or circling
over the lonely headland OF Montauk
The screech of steam whistle close
to the wings OF a shooting bird did
not seem to startle him in the least

eleven MEN ARE DEAD AND TEN
MISSING AS RESULT OF DIS
ASTER IN COLLiERY. &
BODIES BADLY TORN AND MANGLED
LITTLE HOPE THAT THE MINERS
STILL ENToMBED ESCAPED
WITH THEIR LIVES.

Grafton, w. Va, March 24.-Twenty.
cne miners are believed to have lost
their lives in the mine explosion at
Century, w. Va.
Eleven bodies had been recovered
at noon and ten men are still missing.
Those not yet accounted for are
thought to be dead in the mine.
1t Is impossible to give the names
OF the dead, but they are known to be
mostly foreigners, as very few Amer
leans were employed in the mine.
The bodies recovered were torn and
mangled and In many cases burned
from head to foot, making the work
OF Identification hard. From the fierce
force Of the explosion, as evidenced by
the ruin wrought in the shaft, there is
little hope that the missing ten es-
capped with their lives. The explosion
Is supposed to have been caused by an
accumulation of natural gas and oc-
Cured In the "A" lead of the second
south main. None Of the men in the
"a lead escaped.
Hescuers are working heroically to
reach the missing men, but the large
amount Of gas still In the mine makes
the work dangerous and retards its
progress. The mine was equipped
with all modern improvements, hav-
ing everything which could be expect
ed to contribute to the safety of en-
ployes. Many OF the dead leave large
and the anguish and distress
to be seen OH all sides is pitiful in the
extreme.
