.
M' W. HARRIB'GT-‘ON 'use his influence
to that end he answered: ,
“The Washington office is already under
the rules, except in the case of those em-
ployes especially ' exempt by law, and a
few others filling positions created by the
act transferring the bureau from the war
department to the department of agricul-
ture. The employes outsiu 0 of Washing-
ton are not in the classifi 4 ..ervice. They
were in the army under the old regime,
and did not need the protectiOn 0f civil
service rules. On the transfer they lost
their military standing and gained none in'
the civil service. So far, however, there
have been few vacancies to fill, although
there have been some promotions and some
changes of position.”
'36 Has No Appointing Power.
“On what principle do you propose fill-
ing vacancies?”
“I cannot fill them personally I have
no appointing power. My authority eIx-
tends no further than nominating. Be-
fore I entered the public service I was al-
ways warmly in favor of the merit system.
Since taking ofl'ice I have found that the
civil service rules, through their not ex-
tending' far enough, make" such a task of
reorganization as I was faced with here ex-
ceedingly difficult. ’-’ '
“In what way ?” '
“By preventing me actually from nom
iating some excellent men for promo-
t on. The highest salary to the classified
service is $1, 800. Hence, when a man de-
serves to be raised to be chief of division
at a salary of $2, 000, and his superior ofii—
' oer would be glad to recommend him for
such an incresse of responsibility and pay, .
the question at once arises, Will the extra
$200 a. year compensate ipr. the risks Iat-
tending its acceptance? or when a man
steps above the classified service, you-I
know, just as when he falls below it, he is
beyond the protection of the civil service
rules, and must take the chances of war. ”
“You would prefer, then, increasing the
scope of operations of the merit system in
your bureau I?”
In Favor of the Merit System.
“I am in favor of the extension of the
erlt system over practically the entire
rvice. There are a few positions, of
course, which should be filled by profes-
sonal experts who have already so high a
p'utation in their Own special fields that
a proposal to examine .them’ w0uld be an
im'gertinenee. Aside fromthese, howevear,
possibly a few others whose exemp<
tlon would be universally recognized as
proper-,1 think all the higher positions .
ought to be filled by piom'Oti'on's from?
lower. grades, and all admissions to the
service made through competitive exam-
ination thrown open Ito-everybody. I shall
recommend that this course be pursued,
and I have no doubt that' 1n due time the
meteOrologicnl sérvice- of the government ,
will be', with the exceptions I have 111-.1
regly noted, under the civil service rules. ”
rofessor Harrington declined to be in-
terviewed concerning Secretary Rusk’s
probable course in civil service matters, or
to say anything which could in any way
commit his chief, even by» implication. He
wished it distinctly understood that for
the views he expressed he alone was re": ‘v
‘vice president of the Chicago Gaslight
s'pI nsible.
r0111 a gentleman who is believed to
k with authority fer the secretary,
ever, it' 13 learned that Professor Har-
'gchgton expressed his opinions clearly and
lpf 1 before accepting office, and that the
'eci‘ ary was the better p eased with him

NEW LISBON, WIs., Aug. 12. —Camp
Douglas is in ruins. At about9 o’clock
last night the cry of fire was heard. It
seems that a lamp exploded in Bufimire’s
saloon, but the flames had been" nearly
smothered, and thinking that all was over
:the’crowd left. The fire took a new start;
however, and in about ten minutes was
beyond control. The fire spread rapldlt
through several business houses til-l
reached the Camp Douglas House. It then
crossed the Omaha tracks and set fire to
the Commercial House and the depot.
Although all this happened in afew min-
utes, the soldiers at their camps had been”
notified and had assembled and sue-I
ceededjusaving nearly all the goods in
the hotels and stores, besides the whole of ‘
the business part of the village. Many
dwelling houses were burned, there being
nothing left but’a few residences in :I‘the
south part Of the town. ' The Wind“ "blew
from the south and kept the fire burning :-
so rapidly that the fire engines from Mans.
ton and Tomah, which had been 11th '40:"
as soon as it was evident that the fire had
. agocd start, reached there too late. The
aptal loss is estimated at about $150, 000.

by the roadside near the village of Hope,
with a bullet wound in the head. The

ity saw the victim passing along the high.
way Friday evening' in the company of a .
‘ dark brewed, black eyed man and a. negro.
One of these farmers heard two pistol
shots fired, and soon afterward saw the
negro and the dark brewed man hurrying
back over the read they had come.
Next morning two large money purses,
that had evidently been rifled of their con-
tents, and a number of papers were found
near the body. One Of the papers was a

York, to George W. Everett, of Junction,
N. J. It is supposed that the unknown
was murdered for his money. The' mur.
dered man was about forty- five years old
of slender build, with brown hair, blueI
eyes and sandy b6ard.
