WaSnreoTOH, Julx 28. The order of President
JIcKlnleT Amending the civil icrrlce rcgulsv
Uont of President Cleveland vt &s Issued to-day.
Rule 0 is amended so as to muko exceptions to
competitive examinations In the. following coses:
Cnitom House Service Ono cnshler In each
emstoms district, one chief or principal deputy or
assistant collector In each customs district, ono
principal deputy collector at each sub-port or
tat ton.
Internal nevenue Bervlce Ono employee In
each Internal rovenuo district, who shall act as
cashier or chlof deputy or assistant collector, ns
may bo determined by the Treasury Department;
one deputy collector In each Internal rovenuo
district where the number of employees In the
office of the Collector exceeds four; ono deputy
collector In each stamp (or branch) ofllce. Ap
pointments to tlio ofllces named In this rule In
the Custom Mouse sorvice and In tho Internal
revenue service shall bo suhject to an examina
tion to be prescribed by the Secretary of the
Treasury, not disapproved by the commission,
equal to the examination held by the commis
sion for positions of like grade. Such examina
tions shall be conducted ty tho commission in
accordance with its regulations.
The President also promulgated this amend
ment to rule 2:
" No removal shall bo made from any position
subject to competitive examination except for
just cause and upon written (.nurses Mod with
the bead of the department or other appointing
ofllcer, and of whkb the accused shall have full
1 notice and an opportunity to rmko dofence."
Be hns also nmondtd rulo 111 so as to Include
within the classified service tho employees of
all Custom House ofllces, without regard to tho
number of employees. Hitherto tho classifica
tion embraced customs ofilcers whero the num
ber of employees were five or more. This order
brines into the classified eervice sixty-five
hlthorto unclassified customs ofilcers.
The following oxplanatory stnteraont of tho
President's order was prepared by Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury Vandorllp:
" The amendments to civil Borvlco rules which
tho President has signed are the most distinct
Steps forward that have been made In the civil
service regulations since tho passage of the
original law. Up to tho present tlmo nearly all
the regulations havo been aimed at throwing
safeguards around the method of ontry into the
Service. There haa been almost nothing looking
toward the enforcement of the spirit of civil
service reform within the service itself. Many
prominent civil service reformers believe that
regulations enforcing proper observance of tho
spirit of civil service reform n lthln the eorvico
would be of much greater importance than any
thing that could bo formulated In regard to the
entry Into the service Itself, and It is In this
direction the amendment which has Just been
signed by the President has been aimed.
It haa hitherto been tho cause of much com
plaint that people In the servlco could be dis
missed or reduced without any definite charges
being made, and without giving the person con
cerned any opportunity to make a defence. That
has proved tho weakcat point In the whole civil
service systom. In the Post Office Department
steps were taken years ago to rcmeity this de
fect, a ruling being made by Postmnster-Qcneral
Blssell to the effect that there would be no dis
missals from the carrier forco except upon writ
ten charges, and after the carrier was given an
opportunity to make sonio defence. It has been
believed that that ruling norkod the greatest
good in the service, and removed the carriers
from partisan Influence more than any other rulo
that bad been put in force in regard to the Post
Office Deportment. Tho civil servlco reformers,
notably the National Civil Service Ileform As
sociation, havo long been contending that whllo
the power of removal must rest absolutely with
the heads of the departments, still no moro Im
portant modification to present civil servlco
rules could be mado than to throw such safe
i guards around removals as would guard against
' the removal of eOlclent persons for pirtisan
Seasons. The new ruling by no means lessens
the control of the head of the department over
the personnel. Suspensions may be made to
take immediate effect, and removals can also
I be made whenever tho head of tho department
, la satisfied that thero Is a Just cause.
"Another distinct step forward Is taken In
the customs service. All customs ofllces are, by
the order Just signed, placed In tho classltiod
service. Tnere are under President Cleveland's
order elxty-flve ports, where the number of em
ployees are five or leas, left outside the classified
service. All Ithe employees of these slxty-Uve
porta are by this order em braced In the classified
service, with the exception of a deputy and o
cashier at the principal ports, and of one deputy
At each sab-port or station.
Tho Treasury Department Is particularly
i affected by the changes, and Mr. vandcrllo a
, statement represents the views of the Admlnls
J tratlon as well as the Civil Service Commission.
1 It Is Impossible to ascertain the number of em
ployees taken out of the classified service by the
order, but it la probably not so great as the num
ber now brought within the law and protected
against removal. Tbo Civil Service Commis
sioners outllnod the plan which the President
haa promulgated, and there seems to be little
I doubt that Instead of letting down the barriers.
President McEinley haa bullded the Chinese
wall higher than ever. He has apparently re
moved the protection of the civil service rules
merely from certain employees in the customs
and Internal revenue servlco who handle money
(or which their superior officers are responelblo
and under bond. The same rule haa been ap
plied to like employees In the cash room of tbo
Treasury because of the very heavy bond given
by the United States Treasurer.

rrtatdeat MeKlnlry Makes Order lacrM.
Insr the '. Aboat lOO ri Cent,
WAfinwaTos, July 28,-Presldent McKlnley's
long-oxpeotod ordor creating a new tariff of con
sular feos was mado publto nt tho State Depart
ment to-day. It Is to Uko effect on Oct. 1. The)
principal thing of note In connection with the
tariff Is that it docs not montlon the Invoice
feos, which havo in the past formed so large a
proportion of tho receipts of the Consuls In tho
British dominions. Whether or not these will
be covered by a subsequent order Is not known,
but ns tho practice of the Consuls In Great Brit
ain has Always been unauthorized by tbe con
sular regulations, It Is tho Impression that tho
order of Seorotnry Olney of Oct, 21, 1800, em
phatically prohibiting tho Consuls from having
any part or interest In such fees, will remain In
force,
Tho tariff just published covers official fees ot
all kinds, mostly relating to services to owners
ofvessols and their seamen. Generally speak
ing, these fens havo been Increased about 100
per cent.; but ns American vessels, by tho terms
of the Dlngloy Shipping bill ot 1884, are exempt
from tholr paymont, the lncrenso will not mate
rially affect ownors or seamen from this country.
The chango will Inure chiefly to tho benotlt ot
consular officers who are paid by fees. They
will uso tho new tariff as a basin for their ac
counts with tho Treasury Department, the Gov
ernment paying tho charges Incurred on behalf
of American seamen. Heretofore this has
amounted to about $13,000 a year.
Notarial, or uuoOlclal, fees have also been in
creased in about the same proportion, and tho
addition of theso Items will go to the personal
account ot the Consuls. Although the law- re
quires masters and surgeons of vessols carrying
emigrants to this country to make oath to their
lists before the Consul at tho port ot sailing, tho
President has not yet Included the authentica
tion of these lists among the olUclal acts of tho
consular officers, so that tho foes therefor re
main among tho charges that may be made for
the benefit of the consular offloors. A note at
the bottom of the tariff provides that "fees for
taking depositions, executing judicial commis
sions, and of unofficial business are subject to
agreement with the parties In interest,"
to renovate tiii: white house.
Improvement t- Be Made During the Abeemoe
or the President and Family,
WAsmwoTON, July 28. Whllo tho President
and Mrs. McKlnley are absent from the White
House the Commissioner of Publto Buildings
and Grounds will try to strengthen the ceilings
In the famous East Room, which are now dan
gerously weak. Tbo office rooms are directly
over the East Room, and tho weight of tho
furniture, records and other equipment Is such
as to cause the celling underneath to sag to an
alarming extent. Several years ago an attempt
was mado to remedy the defect by putting In
largo beams rnnnlng east and west across tho
middle ot the room, supported on the east by the
stone wall and on the west by the partition di
viding the official part of the building from tho
residence portion of the structure.
Col. Blnghorn will begin the work at once,
with the expectation of completing It before the
President returns from Lako Chomplaln. The
strengthening process will bo applied from
above, and heavy girders will bo used. While
the work Is In progress tho official part ot the
building will havo to bo abandoned, and the
clerical forco will bo transferred to another part
of the house or leave of absence given them.
In addition to tho improvement to tho East
Room, the other portions of the mansion will bo
thoroughly renovated and put In perfect condi
tion by tho time tho President returns. The
paint work In tho cabinet room, tho President's
Erlvate office, and the official portion of the
uildlng generally will be touched up, and tbe
Blue, Red, and Green rooms, together with the
Btato dining room, will receive needed attention.
A fow slight repairs will be made in the living
part of the house, but tlto lnttcr is in compara
tively good condition, tor It was fully gono over
iust before the Clevclands relinquished the
iouso to the present occupants.

Ixxklng tor Tns Men In Addition to the One
In Custody Tbe Missing Men Are Charles
Belnay and David Weeks Tbe stvldence
Against lha Hen So Far as Developed,
BrtrooEroRT, Conn., July 28. To-day's devel
opments have satisfied the detectives at work
on the Nichols murder case that In John Weeks,
the young' man arrested yesterday, they have
ono ot tho men who were at the Nichols farm
house on last Wednesday night and killed
Charles Marcus Nichols. Charles Bolnay, who I
left suddenly on Monday, and ono other man
whose name tho detectives refuse to give, are
the three men wanted to clear up tho mystery.
To-day Weeks was taken in hand by tho deteo
tlves In order to got a statement from him. At
first ho refused to say anything, but later talkod
freely. His story to-day was different from that
told by him when he was first arrested, and It Is
clear to the detectives that he Is not telling the
truth. It Is believed that Weeks has made
statements ot great Importance to tbe poltco,
but they ref uso to make any part of It public
This morning Mrs. Weeks, mother of the
prisoner, and her daughter, Mrs. Bolnay, wife
ot Charles Bolnay, accompanied by several
neighbors and relatives, nrrlvod at Police Head
quarters. Mrs. Bolnay talked freely about her
husband and his whereabouts the day and
night of tho murder. She says sho hod known
her husband for only about a year beforo their
marrlago, although he is her second cousin.
Tho eouplo woro married on Juno IS last. For
a j ear beforo that Bolnay had mode his home
when In this neighborhood at Wecks's. Mrs.
Bolnay Bald:
"I don't know where he spent his boyhood,
but a part ot the tlmo he lived with the Rev.
C M.Luce of Richmond, Mass. He intended, to
be a missionary, and is a member of the Chris
tian Endeavor Socloty. When I would osk him
about his business affairs ho would toll me not
to bother my head about them. He had a good
business, he said, and could make plenty ot
money for both ot us. I nover heard of hla being
called Mason, and I don't believe he overwent
by that name." . ... . ,
Mrs. Bolnay Is herself a member of the Chris
tian Endeavor Society, and is apparently of
confiding nature. Her faith In herhusbnnd sin
noconcels bespoken by tbe sincerity of her man
ner and tbo Indignation which she shows when
the suspicion under wbich he rests lsmentloncd.
Mrs. Bolnay snvs her husband was at home the
night of tho Nichols murder, and for two or
three days following. On the Saturday follow
ing tbo murder ho went to New York and re
turned home tbe samo night. On Monday morn
ing last he again left for New York. She ac
companied him that time, and left him at the
Grand Central Station, returning to this city on
the next train. Mrs. Bolnay says her husband's
business Is peddling notions, and she cannot ex
plain why he has spent so much time in New
York of late.
Police Superintendent Birmingham said to
night: I" We want two men yet. Jloinay Is ono of
them: who the other is I don't care to Bay just
yet. when wo get them we can clear up the
wholo mystery In five minutes. I believe that
both men will some time bo arrested and will
pay the penalty for the Nichols murder. I think
tbo women of tho Weeks family know some
thing they don't euro to tell. It is quite possible
that Bolnay deceived them Into believing him to
be n law-abiding citizen."
The other man who is wanted with Bolnay Is
David Weeks, a brother of the man now in cus
tody, David Weeks Is a canaller on tho Erlo
Canal. He was seen with Bolnay on the day be
fore the crime, and Is believed to be tho man
with the blnck eyes of whom Miss Nichols
spoke In describing ono of the robbers. David
Weeks wont nwny the day after the murder,
and nothing aim e has been seen of him.
A member of Bolnay's family Is authority for
the statement that the young man not miny
years ago served a sentence ot six years In n
New York State prison. Bolnay posed here
abouts as a young theological student. When
he married Miss Weeks the ceremony was not
performed by a local clergyman. Boinay sum
moned from somen hero In Massachusetts a
joung man who, he said, was a theological
student friend of his when he was In college.
Weeks In one point directly contradicts his
sister. Mrs. Boinay. He has told tho detectives
thnt Charles Bolnay had not been at homo for a
week before tbe murder. Mrs. Boinay said
this morning that her husband was at home
the night of the murder, and remained there
from Wednesday night until Saturday. To
morrow the authorities Intend to take young
Weeks and have him confront Miss Mary
Nichols, sister of the murdered man, for the
purpose of seeing If she can In any way Identify
him. Ho will be made to laugh and talk and
utilize bis voice In several ways to allow Miss
Nichols every possible opportunity to recall the
sounds of which sho often speaks us the "awful
music that rattled her brain." Miss Nichols Is
now strong enough to sit up and talk, and sho w ill
have every opportunity of examining the pris
oner. Whether she succeeds In identifying him
or not, later he will be taken before Miss Kate
Nichols, daughter of John M, Nichols, vt ho was
bound, gagged, and robbed by burglars on May
21. Miss Kate Nichols, at tho time sho was tiod
to the chair, distinctly remembered that one ot
tho men who attacked her bad an irregular
Eatch on his trousers. The trousers found in the
orae of Weeks answer that description, nnd she
will bo asked to Identify them If possible, if
Miss Nichols Is sure that the trousers aro the
same, tho moBt Important piece of evidence yet
at hand will thus be confirmed and go in a long
measure to prove the contention that the two
Jobs were the work of the same gang.
To-day an express package addressed to Mrs.
Charles Bolnay, care J. L.Farnham. Sbelton. ar
rived at that place. It was taken in chargoby
Chief of Police Tomllnson of Sbelton, and ho re
fuses to disclose what the contents aro. The po
lice have In their possession a $10 gold pieco
which was secured from a saloon keeper whose
place of business is In the northern part ot the
city, near tbe Trumbull line. The coin is old,
and was given to tho saloon keeDor by a man
who answers the description of Bolnay on Inst
Saturday night. Part of tbo plunder taken by
the robbers at George M. Nichols's was SOS In
gold, one of tbe nieces being a 910 gold piece,
coined many years ago. and which was given to
Miss Mary Nichols by her mother.
BUNK IIEB TO SAVE HER,
A Month's Fight wltb a Fire on a St, John
Schooner Ends Disastrously,
The two-masted schooner Energy, which sailed
from St. John, N. B., on June 10 with a
cargo ot 1,500 barrels of lime, consigned
to J. W. Parker of New street. Is submerged at
her dock at the Erie Busln In Brooklyn. Six days
after her departuro from St, John, while the
schooner was about fifty miles from Capo Cod, a
fire started in tbe hold. Capt, Cook and the
crew mado no attempt to extinguish the fire
with water, but the hatches were battened down
and the hold made as air tight as possible. The
fire was still smouldering when the schooner
reached this port on July 4, and was put up at
Newtown Creek. Capt. Cook declined the re
peated offers of the lire department to aid him
In extinguishing tbe tire. Finally tbe property
and ship ownors on tbe creek protested against
the presence of the schooner In their immediate
neighborhood, and a week ago Lnpt. Cook had
her towed to the Erie Basin.
About 8 o'clock yesterday morning the flames
made their appearance above deck, and the tire
boat Selh Low quickly responded to the alarm,
and In less than an hour the Energy lay on the
bottom with tbe tide washing over her deck.
The cargo, with the exception ot forty barrels
which wero removed orter the flumes had burst
out, is a total loss. Tbo damage to tbe schoonor
will be between $3,000 and 91,000.

BntDOEronT, Conn., Jnly 28. Robbers de
scended on Sonthport curly this morning. Be
foro they left theyentorod every store In tho
village, tiro In number, and also two shops.
They secured very little booty. Tho proprietors
of tho stores enterod estimate tholr combined
losses at from $2 to 83 in cents and one bottlo
ot whiskey. Cigars, tobacco, pocket kulvcs. nnd
a quantity of articles such ns the 'burglars
could have carried away wero thcro in plenty,
but evidently thoy wanted cash only.
James Watson's blacksmith shop at the ter
minus of tho trolloy line was probably tho first
place entered. Thero the robbers secured a Dvo
pound slcdgo hammer, which they used In ef
fecting entranco to other places. There was
only ono hammar In tho shop which seemed to
suit them, so thoy entered tho carriage shop of
Frank E. Lane near by. Thero they secured
another hammer and a monkey wrench, Fred
erick Dlsbrow's meat market on East Main
stroet was entered. When the market was
oponcd tills morning, it was found tho safo had
been blown open and tho Interior compartmont
torn out. valuable papers In tho safo wero
set ttered all over tho floor. Three notes pnya
bio to Mr. Dlsbrow, amounting toover $1,500,
duo in a few days, wero found among tho papers
on the floor.
Tho robbers evidently did not want to make
Mr, Dlsbrow nny trouble about collecting tho
notes, so loft them behind. The cash register
was broken open, but the dollar or so In cents In
thereat the tlmo was evidently overlooked by
the men, and thoy did not carry away nnrthlns
as the result of their visit to Mr. Dlsbrow a
market. . . ,
When M. C Penfleld opened his store It wns
found that entranco had been made through ,
a window In tho rear which was left wide
open. Thero tbo burglars secured a fow
cents which wero In tho money drawer. They
did not touch tho safe, and outside of scat
tering some valuable papers about the floor,
Mr. Penlleld says he has no complaint to
make about the way the robbers acted. L, II.
Swltzer'a drug storo woa". also entered by
forcing n bolt on tho back -door. Sixty cents,
which were In tbo money drawer, and a bottle
of whiskey was nil the men took. Half a dozen
10-cenl pieces, also in tho money drawer, were
left behind. L. F. Sherwood's store, near
Swltzer's, was also visited. Mr. Sherwood
says ho can report no loss. The monev drawer
was opened, but there Is never anything left
in It over night. Charles Jennings tt Sons'
store was probably the last place entered.
Morris Slgnmund says ho saw three men In
the neighborhood of Jennings's store about 4
o'clock this morning. Ho thought they were
workmen and paid no attention to them.
Nothing of value wns token from that store.
Bit. QEORQE ALLEN KEilOYED.
Two Managers or tbe Collins Insane AsylBm
Itnnnlng Things to Salt Themselves.
Buffalo, July 28. It was anticipated by ths
State authorities that long before this time ths
great overcrowding of tbo Insane In the institu
tions of New York city and Brooklyn would
be very materially relieved by the opening of
the new asylum In Collins, this county, which
has been established on the colony plan. The
institution has cost tho taxpayers $200,000 to
date, and not tbe slightest advantage has
accrued from the expenditure of this large sum
of money.
Tho Stato Commission In Lunacy, obeying ths
plain mandate of the statute, issued orders to
the newly nppolntod superintendent, Dr. George
Allen, who is ono of tho ablest and best trained
men in tho State asylum sorvice, that ho should
at onco arrange for the opening of one wing of
tbo Institution and the utilization of certain ot
the farm cottages fox the reception of insane pa
tients from the cltft institutions. Colling the
Board of ManngcrsRogether, Ur. Allen notified
them ot tho Instructions received from the State
authorities, and wasthunderstruck to Unci that
charges against him had been prepared by two
members of the board. Dr. Asa Couch of Fro
donia nnd Dr. Wolcott of Rochester. He was
forthwith removed from office, his legal rights
as to making answer to the charges being entire
ly Ignored, and theorderof the Lunucj Commis
sion was contemptuously thrown aside.
An Investigation was ImmollatolyiiMdo by the
State authorities and the following interesting
scheme was revealed: Dr. Wolcott had, with
out reference to the newly appointed superin
tendent, who under tho law hart sole !o or to
appoint his subordinates, arranged with Couch
for the appointment to tho chief post, that ot
steward, ot a relative. They learned that Dr.
Allen had reonested a certification ot ellglblo
names from the State Civil Service Commission
and was about to appoint the most experienced
and capable man from this Hsu They saw,
therefore, that their only chance would be with
a now superintendent, and Dr. Couch agreed
to engineer Allen's removal, which was accom
Dllshed In tho manner indicated.
Four of tho Collins Asylum managers met In
Rochester last week, in Dr. Wolcott s ofllce, nnd
passed new resolutions removing Dr. Allen from
ofllce. It Is understood that this action was
suggested byJudgeBcebeofthc Cou rt of Claim',
who is working heaven and earth to have bis
son-in-law. Dr. Arthur, an untried young man,
appointod to the place now held by Dr. Allen.
Former Senator D -nlel H. McMillan ot this city.
howe-,er, who has been retained os counsol by
Dr, Allen, simply brings forth the proceedings of
tho managers at a meeting In January last, ap-
folntlng Dr. Allen for one year and waiving tho
bree months' probationary period. How much
longer Gov. Black will permit tbe two managers
to "hold up " a State Institution remains to bo
seen.
TUB MELZIXQAJl BAM DISASTER.
Hatteawan People Indlcnant Over the Finding
or tbe Coroner's Jury.
Matteawav. July 28. Tho peoplo here, espe
cially those most deeply Interested In the great
Melzingabdam casuallty, whero seven persons
lost their lhos, are Indignant over ths finding
of the Jury which Coroner Ilevler subpoenaed to
to investigate tbe matter. A mere censure of
the Flshklll and Matteawun Water Company by
this jury is, to say the least, letting tho com
pany down very easy. An Indignation meet
ing has been advertised to be held in Metro
politan Hall on Friday evening, July 30. at
which time uction will bo taken to attempt to
Impeach the Jury and lis verdict.
Sherwood Phillips, tho Coroner's clerk, wns
sworn in as a juryman, us well as two police
men who are paid to do other duty. That a ver
dict of criminal negllgtnco was not rendered Is
a great surprise to everybody. The heavy rains
we are now experiencing nre causing much
alarm among tho peoplo who reside near and
under tho remaining dam, known as Beaver
Dam, which Is 7,100 feet nbovo the level of the
Hudson, and directly back of tho most thickly
populated portion of Matteawun. People are
moving away and finding homos elsewhere.
Tbe dam Is lenklng and Is frequenllj being
patched up by workmen, but tbe overflow is increasing.
.JV ANARCHIST IN SIATTEAITAJf.
Be Advised Ilia lien rem to Shoot Down lb
Capitalist and a niot Followed.
Mattbawan, July 28. Jacob Startlskt Is an
Anarchist. Last night he came over from Now
burg, whero ho had been engaged for several
days In delivering socialistic addresses, and suc
ceeded In gathering about him on Main street.
In Matteawan, several hundred people, who
listened to him ns ho stood on a soap box and
advised thorn to take up arms and shoot down
the capitalists ol Matteawan. He said that our
hat shops woro full of hats and yst we wore
bareheaded; that our Bhoo factories wore full of
shoos and yet we were barefooted. During
his argument some one in tho audience called
him a liar, and In the general riot which ensued
he was generally outclassed by Charles Conklln,
a local celebrity who can uso his hands qulto
well. Two of the Anarchists friends made a
hasty rotreat, leaving the speaker to the mercy
of tho crowd, whoso excitement by this time
knew no bounds, Startlskl was locked up as a
disorderly person and lined a)2S to-day In ths
police court. Matthew Smith was stabbed in
the general light by sonio ono unknown, and Is
in a precarious condition at tho hospital.
