THE SPOILS SYSTEM.

Civil-Service Reformers Want It Driven Out of Politics

DOINGS OF THE MEETING AT BOSTON.

Resolutions Adopted Which Praise the Administration for Some Things and Soore It for Others-Mr. Curris Re-Elected President.

THE LEAGUE ADJOURNS.

BOSTON, Oct. 8.—The business meeting of the National Clvil-Service Reform League was called to order Thursday morning. Thoro was a fair attendance of members and a few spectators. George William Curtis was unanimously chosen president for the ensuing year. The secretary read a paper by E. M. Shepard, of Brooklyn, on "Examination in Character Essential to a Complete Competion." Charles J. Bonaparte, of Baltimore, president of the Civil-Service Reform League, read a paper on 'The Relation of Civil-Service Reform to Other Reforms."

Resolutions woro adopted congratulating the country that the attempt to nullify the reform law during the present session of Congress was defeated in the House; that the law was defended by distinguished members of both political parties, and that the loader of the majority of the House declared his party was pledged to nothing more than to civll-service reform, which was truly sustained by the best opinion of both parties, Republicans and Democrats alike. The resolutions continue: "The league recognizes the fact that 83,000 places in the public service are now filled upon fair and free competition by merit alone, while Commissioner Roosevelt gives assurances that 92 per cent of the clerks so appointed under the late administration have been retained. It recalls with satisfaction the action of the Attorney-General sustaining the Civil-Service Commission; the revoca. tion of appointments made in defiance of reform law and the indictment of persons for receiving political contributions. It commends the explanation of tho Civlil-Service Commision before the House investigating committee, and congratulates the country upon the choice of Civil-Service Commissioners of the present Administration. "Whilst according to the National Administration the greatest credit for whatever advancement may have been made in tho appli cation of civil service reform to the conduct of public business, it is nevertheless our duty to remind the country of the pledges made by the successful party at the last Presidential election and to note how far these pledges have been kept. The pledges of the Administration were: First, that reform of the civil service already auspiciously begun should be completed by the further extension of the reform reform should be observed in all executive departments; that all laws at variance with the subject of existing reform legislation should be repealed. These pledges have been disregarded. The reform system has not been extended. Not only have not the spirit and purpose of reform been observed in all executive departments, but they have been often violated. The laws at variance with reform legislation have not been repealed, nor has there been any proposition for repeal. Against this practical contempt of pledges the league records its unqualified protest. "The removal of postmasters for no other causes than their political opinions or party affiliations resulting in a partisan devastation of an important branch of the public service is breach of faith with the country and a grave offense against our politics and the interest of or an efficient public service. The league holds that the important duty of taking the census should have been committed to officers selected because of their fitness, and with no regard to political or partisan considerations.

While holding that the power of removal should be vested in appointing officers subject only to a sound discretion, the league also holds that no opportunities for changes in public service, which is not political, for reasons partisan, should be permitted. It therefore urges all friends of reform to press upon public attention and on Congress the repeal of the laws prescribing fixed terms of office, which were designed to facilitate changes without the odium of express and positive removal."

Tho evening was devoted to a banquet. Short informal speeches on phases of the work were the feature. Mr. Curtis presided. After the banquet the convention closed. The next meeting will be held at Buffalo, N.Y.

Increase In Circulation.

One held a revolver at Scudder's head and the other took a rope from his pocket and securely tied Scudder's hands and feet and threw him on the floor, face down.

ROW OVER THE CAPITAL LOCATION.

Guthrie and Oklahoma City Fighting for the Prize-A Mob Chases a Member Through the Streets-

Great Excitement

LAW-MAKERS IN DANGER.

GUTHRIE, O. T., Oct. 3-Thursday was a day of extreme excitement in the Legislature, the occasion being the consideration of the bill for the permanent location of tho Territorial capital. The Lower House on Wednesday passed the bill locating the capital at Oklahoma City. Before action had been taken on the bill in the upper House a motion in the lower House to reconsider the action of Wednesday was adopted. The friends of the measure, however, prevailed upon Speaker Daniels to sign the bill after the vote on reconsideration and Representative Perry quietly possessed himself of the bill and was hurrying over to the chamber-of the upper House to obtain the signature of the presiding officer of that body. The vigilant enemies of the measure observed the move and the legislative body became a howling mob. The spectators joined the members on the floor and an attack was made upon Speaker Daniels, and it was demanded of him in a peremptory manner that he see to it that the bill be returned to the clerk.

Daniels referred the crowd to Perry, who was just about to escape from the hall, and who in the meantime had handed the bill to Representative Nesbitt. Perry ran into the street, with the mob at his heels. He was quickly caught. Some one cried "Hand him." The cry was taken up and became general. The crowd was in earnest. Perry begged for mercy and turned his pockets inside out. "Nesbitt has the bill," he cried. Nesbitt was in the crowd, and a rush was made for him. Perry, with his inside pockets flapping in the breeze, joined in the chase. Nesbitt kept ahead of the mob for four blocks. Then his strength failed him and he suddenly surrendered. He was marched back to Representative Hall, where he was compelled to deposit the bill on the clerk's desk. Speaker Daniels took the bill, and, accompanied by W.

H. Thompson, of the News, as a witness, repaired to the Governor's man-

signed this bill under misapprehension." Captain Cavanaugh, post commander, and United States Marshal Grimes were present during the rest of the session and imperative quiet was thus secured. The capital question stands in statu quo with Guthrie and Oklahoma City as hotly determined as ever and their chances not far from even. Charges of bribery are freely bandied about, and both legislators and legislative officials are accused of taking money from both sides.

NONE NEED APPLY.

Knights of Labor Shut Out by the New York Central.

VICE-PRESIDENT WEBB'S LATEST ACT.

He Issues a Circular Announcing the Road's Objection to Its Employes Belonging to the Organization-

What Powderly Says.

OPEN WAR DECLARED.

NEW YORK, Oct 3.—Third Vice-Presi-dent Webb, of the New York Central railroad, has issues a circular, which has been sent to the heads of the various departments, announcing that the road objects to its employes being Knights of Labor. Officials are requested to call the attention of employes to the circular. The document states that the recent striko, the acts of lawlessness committed in connection therewith, the published correspondence between the leaders of the organization that ordered it, and the fact that many men now seeking re-employment state that they quit work from fear of personal violence and did not dare to resume work for the same reason, force the management of the company to this decision, being satisfied that membership in this particular organization is inconsistent with faithful and efficient service to the company and is likely at any time to prevent it from properly discharging its duties to the public.

General Superintendent Voorhees said that the circular means precisely what it says. Knights must either give up their membership in the order or leave the road. Vice-President Webb said Thursday afternoon: "We think we have done a wise thing in taking this step. In the past we have always admitted that we had no objection to our men joining labor organizations, but the developments made during the recent strike have led us to decide that if our men were allowed to be members of the particular organization known as the Knights of Labor the result would be detrimental to our road and the public. Our action is in no sense an attack on labor, and we do not anticipate that any trouble will follow the issue of our circular."

President Samuel Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor, said that Mr. Webb was a fool and that "whom the gods wlshed to destroy they first made mad." Mr. Webb's success in the strike had intoxicated him. The circular was copwardly, as tt attacked a fallen too.

SCRANTON, Pa., Oct 3—"Will the order of the Knights of Labor, resent this

members of our order at once to notify their friends that there are hotter roads to ride over than the New York Central. We will go farther than that. We shall call upon business men, shippers of goods and others doing business with that company and request them to direct their patronage into other channels."

The murderers then proceeded to Kuntzel's camp and killed Horn, who had been left in charge, destroyed all the German plantations and murdered a planter named Dehnke. The bodies of all the murdered persons lie where they fell, permission for the burial of the remains being refused. It is stated that those who lost their lives were all inoffensive, industrious persons, with the exception of Kuntzel. The Suitan had summoned them to his presence and disarmed them September 14, the day previous to the massacre, when Kuntzel violently abused the Sultan, thus de termining the fate of the party.
