ABROGATION IS PROBABLE. ' Great Britain Is Alleged to Have Repeat- edly Violated Its Terms—Civil Serv- ice Changes Promulgated by President McKinley. Washington, July 29.—Public men in Washington were generally surprised when the announcement was made in the cable dispatches a few days since that the question of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty had been raised in the British parliament in connection with the pro- posal to annex the Hawaiian Islands to the United States, and were, conse- quently, not prepared for the response of the British government that the one The matter is regarded here with all the greater interest because both sub- iects, the validity of the treaty and the annexation of Hawaii, are under consid- eration by the American congress and both, imall probability, will. receive at— The which has already reported upon the annexation treaty, has undertaken an investigation of the present status of the Clayton-Bulwer convention, and the general expectation, on account of the predictions of the members of the . subcommittee having the question in charge, is that a report will be favor- able to the abrogation of the treaty. It is understood that a majority of the members of the committee consider that England has by repeated acts in Central America nullified the treaty. Contrary to Monroe Doctrine. noxious to the Monroe doctrine. Oth- : ers look upon it as liable in an indirect Way to have, through its reference to the Nicaragua canal, a. bearing upon the Hawaiian question. Those of this class do not admit that there is the remotest reference to Hawaii in the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, but they claim that Hawaii and the proposed isthmian canal, to which the treaty .has especial reference, are so closely related as to render the future bearing of this treaty upon the. Hawaiian problem a matter of interest. It is understood that the committee will be prepared to report soon after the convening of congress next December. One of the points of doubt on the part of the committee is how the treaty is regarded by the Brit- ish government. It appears that While England has generally acted in Central American affairs as she'would have been expected to act if there had been no treaty, the English authorities have never given expression to any official sentiment as to the continued effect of the agreement made betWeen Secretary Clayton and Sir Lytton Bulwer. State department officials say that no new issue is presented by the seizure of Palmyra island by the British re— vessel, for Great Britain has maintained a claim 'to the island for the past nine years. The island is said to lie in the Polynesian group, and although Hawaii has asserted a claim to its possession, our government has not been strongly impressed with the validity of the claim. Meanwhile the British, it is said, not only have asserted a ‘claim to it, but have actually occupied the island for some years past“ Civil Service Changes. Washington, July 29.—President Mc- Kinley has promulgated the following important amendment to civil service ,rule No. 2: “No removal shall be made from any position subject to competitive exam- ination except for just cause and upon written charges filed with the head of the department or other appointing ofll- cer and of which the accused shall have full notice and an opportunity to .make defense.” ' He has also amended rule No. 3 so as to include within the classified service the employees of all custom house offices without regard to the number of em- ployees. Hitherto the classification em- braced customs offices where the num- ber of employees was five or more. This order brings into the classified service 65 hitherto unclassified customs offices. The president has also amended rule No. 6. making exceptions to examina- tions, so as to read as follows: “Custom house service, one cashier in each customs district, one chief or prin- _ cipal deputy or assistant collector in each customs district, one principal dep- uty collector at each subport or station. “Internal revenue service, one em- ployee in each internal revenue district, who shall act as cashier or chief deputy or assistant collector, as may be deter- mined by the trea‘kury department; one deputy collector in each internal reve- nue district where the number of em- ployees in the office of the collector ex- stamp, 01_,-branch office. “Appointments to the positions named in this rule in the custom house serv- ice and in the internal revenue serv- ice shall be subject to an examination to be prescribed by the secretary of the treasury, not disapproved by the com- mission, equal to the examination held by the commission for positions of like grade. Such examinations shall be con- ducted by the commission in accordance with its 1egulations.” . Heavy Surf at Asbury Park. Asbury Park, N.
