The fire department was called out

Recently Senator f. II. Simmons
was the cause Of an agitation being
started at Washington through the civil
service commission for an investigation
of the conduct of federal officials
throughout the state, during political
campaigns, he alleging that many OF
them had overstepped the bounds that
is allowed them by law and that they
had exerted themselves, unduly, in the
recent campaign and election, Tor the
success Of the republican ticket.
BY the laws of the civil service de-
partmenu it is required that no federal
official shall exert himself pe~rniciousiy
in any political matters. the desire be-
ing to keep servants Of the public as
free from political prejudice and pas
sion as is possible.
However, charges were brought that
demanded investigation and the Of
ficials in Washington took up without
| delay a thorough Investigation Of the
entire matter.
1t was reported yesterday On what Is
considered reliable authority, that he
Investigation has reached this city and
| that the conduct of several federal Of
fce-holders in Wilmington during the
| campaign and election OF a few weeks
ago, will be looked into, No special
charges of misconduct are alleged, but
it is the special purpose Of the civil
service authorities to see that NJ
ployees of the government are not per-
niciously active in any political mat
tiers. The desire is to keep them from
showing any special partisan prefer
ence or bias.
A thorough investigation will be
made, it is said, not only of officers 10
cal but ofthe entire state, and any OF
ficials of the federal government who
exhibited unnecessary political activity,
either during the campaign Or at the
polls will be made to suffer.
Tt is not the purpose to take UP the
g%roundless assertions Of n re-
port that have probably been more OF
less heard in the different sections, Da'
to obtain at first and authoritative
sources all the facts bearing on the
matter.
The investigation, both local ano
state. is now in progress and its out
come will not only be Il matter OF III
terest, but also Of importance.

RIG CARGO OF COTTON.
Tho Winkkfcld Cleared Yesterday
With 16.44S Bales. Valued at S9lo.-
800.

The British steamship WINFIELD was
cleared yesterday by the firm OF Alex
ander Sprunt & Son with a cargo Of
16.44S bales of cotton, consigned to
Bremen, Germany.
This is the most valuable cargo Of
cotton that has left this port this Eear,
being valued at S91O,3O0. In fact since
1903, when the Anglo-SaXon was clear
ed by the same firm, with a cargo that
went in value above a million dollars,
this will hold the record.
The Winfield has a tonnage OF 700
and her master is Captain Atkinson.
The cotton weighed 7,915.675 pounds.
Although the Winkfield's cargo IS the
most valuable that las gone out troni
this port this year, it is not the larG-
est. the Anglo-SaXon having cleared
early in October with $3.50 bales OF
cotton. Weighing S,425,997 pounds and
valued at 1886, 900. The difference III
value represents the difference in the
prices paid for cotton at that time and
at the present time.
