After all tho vexation Inflicted upon

upon' a final hearing, decided 'that the city

That was the only question presented In
tho controversy, but as tho city clerk was

(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
MANILA, P. I., Sept. 20.-Tho enactment
,-esterday by the civil commission of An
act for tho establishment and maintenance
of nn cmclent nnd hohest civil sorvlco In
the I'hlllpplno lslnnds," nu prepored by
President Tnft, haa pleased tlio Jinpino
peoplo and hns tendod to displease the
army. Tho latter 10 an uniorumaiu mm
unlntcntlonol result. Tho provisions oi
this civil scrvlco bill aro most comprehen
sive nnd complete, comprising nil tho ex
ecutive branches of tho government of the
I'hlllpplno Islands, and Its perusal tends to
show that the quaiincauons oi none. , uuu
cmclent" In tho tltlo nro real Intentions
well cnrrlrd out nnd not mere catch-words
The bill Is founded upon tho principles of
American civil service, cnrefully adapted
to local' requirements. Upon recommenda
tion of tho secretary of wnr It has been
decided that other things being equal pref
erence shall bo given to Filipinos for civil
employment under tho American Phlllpplud
government nnd under tho provisions ot
this bill nn employe, bo ho nn American
or a Filipino, may rlso If ho show nblllty
and rriorlt to u good and well-paid position
In- tho service.
Thn Imnortauco of an efllclcnt and honest
civil scrvlco to those Islands can hardly bo
overestimated and if this new Bervtco bo
good and cffcctlvo Its doings will rollcct
credit upon Its organizers and upon thu
American administration of Philippine uf-
fairs. To hrlne about this desirable end
pood men nro needed and it is tho purpose
bf tho authors of this bill to mako tho
civil service uttrnctlvd enough t6 draw the
M nf mm wnnixil. It .Is tho Intention of
tho organizers that tho I'hlllpplno civil
sorvlco shall not degonorato Into a field
wherein politicians may find opportunl
tics to sottlo political obligations. Thu
service will bo kept froo from tho stigma
of political patronage, nor will it bo open
to political protegos and favorites. Tho
salaries of tho Boveral classes of employes
havo not yot boon determined, but these
will be well paid and it will be possible
for men entering tho lower clerkships
by efficiency and "merit to eventually bo
como heads of bureaus and permanent tin-
dcr-eecretarles to Important departments
A knowledge of Spanish will bo nn excel
lent help to an American in this service,
although tho requirement of this knowl
edge Is left to tho discretion ot tho civil
scrvlco board.
Co-Operntlvc Store for Uiitnloyc
Thero will doubtless bo established civil
scrvlco co-operative stores, whero mem
bers of tho scrvlco may buy provisions,
groceries and other needs of living to thu
samo financial advantago that army offi
cers now buy of tho army commissary, and
the course ot ttmo will probably sea tho
construction ,ot government civil scrvlco
quarters a collection of good dwelling
houses In somo cool suburb convenient to
tho city, the rentals of which would bo
reasonable. Such measures will greatly
tond, to ranko tho servlco attractlvo to tho
class of men the. service requires.
Considerable details aud,. .tho framing, of
rules and regulations for tho scrvlco are
left to tho civil sorvlco board provided for
in the net. wucn aepenus upon tno auiiity
and pood Judgment of thlB board, tho mem-
bcrs or which nil positions similar to tno
civil sorvlco commissioners In tho; United
States, and tho selection ot the civil sorv-
Ice commission In this respect nro to ho
commonded and gtvo promise or a luinn-
ment of tho high standard set by tho act.
W. Leon Popperman, who has long been
connocted with tho civil service nt homo
and who has mado n personal study of the
civil services maintained by Great Britain,
Franco una noiinnu in tnoir eastern coio-
nlcs, will bn on this board, as will bo F.
W. Rlgglns of tho Washington civil serv
lco cotnmlstjlon. Tho third member thereof
will probably bo a Filipino.
School teachers aro exempted from tho
requirements of tho civil service.
Section 12 gives tho civil service board
ample power tq dlscharga any employe
whom thoy find to bo holding a position In
tho Borvlco in violation ot tho provisions
ot the act or the rules of tho board; and
section 15 provides that religious or po

loqnent Prcnrlier Cnn Nro No Hope
for Ilia Peoplo In 1'nrtr Ilom
innled by 'I'lllmnn, .loncfi
nnd Croker.
I
Rev. John Albert Williams, pastor otvtho
Church of St. Philip tho Deacon, hns de
serted tho Bryan forces nnd will vote for
MoKlnley. Four yours ago Rev. Mr. Wil
liams supported Bryan nnd until within tbo
last fow days ho expected to support him
again. Ho has been honored by tho local
Unionists with a nomination for tho school
beard and has othcrwlso taken a promi
nent part In their counsels
'I have been thinking tho matter over
cry seriously for several weeks. nnd have
finally concluded that Imperialism In tho
Philippines Is hotter for mo and my race
than Imperialism In South Carolina," ho
said, In explaining his change in political
faith. "I havo always boen a great ad
mirer of Mr. Bryan, but I don't Uko tho
gang ho trains with. Tillman of South Car
ollna and Jones of Arkansas have never been
fnvorltcs of mlno nnd when Bryan embraced
Tammany nnd Croker I concluded that I
was not in good company."
Until four vcars ago Rev. Williams had
always voted tho republican tlckot. At that
time ho felt that somo change In the money
system was needed and his personal ad
miration '-tor tho silver leader caused blm
to cast his lot with the advocates of tho 10
to 1 Itsue. 1
"I havo always been more of a repub
lican than nnythlng else, but I havo been In
fluenced somewhat by tho arguments that
cro presented against Imperialism. I am
now convinced thnt tho administration Is
pursuing 11 wlso courso In tho Philippines
nd bcllovo that tho republican party jylll
deal Justly with the Filipinos," said Rev.
Williams. "As to all tho rantlngs ot the
democratic orators concerning tbo consent of
tho governed, that has had no effect upon
me or nny other eolpred man, becauso wo
know that our ruco Is allowed no volco In
many of tho eouthorn states.
"If all that Is said against Hanna wero
truo and oven It ho basses ovcry movement
of the republican party I feel that ho and
his party are far superior to Croker and
tho Bryan followers bo has whipped Into
lino. I don't know of anybody who would
not bo prcfernblo to Croker and I regret
that Mr. Bryan has Joined tho Tammany
ring. Men who admired him when ho stood
alone nnd fought his own battle four years
ago cannot support htm since ho has allied
himself with such a corrupt gang."
Third Wnrd Votera Rally.
Dr. Q. W. Bryant, a colored orator from
Baltimore, Md., was the principal speuker
at an open-air meeting, Twelfth aud Cap
ltol avenue. Wednesday evening, and several
hundred colored voters of tho Third ward
tood out. In tho cold to hear his eloquent
address. Ho confined his remarkB largely
tho part taken by tho colored race In
this and other campaigns nnd gavo somo
good, common-Bcnso advice, pointing out the
fact that whero tho republican pnrty- nas
befriended the black man In tho past tho
democratic party has reviled and debased
him.
"They tell mo thero aro 400 negroes in
Omaha who iro going to vote tho fusion
ticket. Is that so?" ho asked. (Crlcx. ot
'Nono!"l "Well. I, hope not. I glyo the
colored raco credit for having senso enough
to know Its friends from its enemies."
William A. Minor was chairman of the
meeting. Tho other speakers wero n ictor
B. Walker ond J. C. Hubbard. Music vvas
furnished by a brass band' and tho Marlam
quartet.
NOME IN A TANGLE OF LAW
Why
Nobody Cnn fin 1 11 Wenlth from
the lllcli GoIU-llrurliiK
lletilon.
NOME, Alaska, Sept. 2. Sensational rca
sons for tho sudden nua general exouus
from tho Nome gold fields havo recently
been sent to and' printed In the nowspnpers
of this country. Most of them havo boen
the output of men who do not understand
tho true conditions hero, hajlug gone
thither with the expectation of picking up
gold nuggota like clam shells on tbo strand
or sweeping tho metal Into dustpans as
housemaid sweeps dust from a floor, tnoy
havo been disappointed Unfit, themselves
for tho rlgori of the' gold miner's life, they
havo returned nfter a short nud unprofit
able stay at Nomo, pessimists and alarmists
They aro now saying that Nomo Is a huge
hoax; that there Is no gold thorc. Thoy
tell wild tales of lawlessness, disease and
starvation According to them, Nomo Is
a hell on earth, and every mnn who Is ablo
Is leaving or m.klng ready to leave
These reports aro not true. Nomo Is the
most orderly mining camp In existance,
Thero havo been but two deaths by violence
In its history. Deaths from any other cause
aro rare. No epidemic has over fastened on
tho city. Tho general health of the com
munlty Is wonderfully high. Doctors havo
to take up other lines ot business as siao
Issues In order to support themselves, and
the few undertakers sit all day twirling
their thumbs and trying to devise mothods
of drumming up business. As for starva
tlon, thero Is enough food In Nome now to
last tho city for three years. Moreover,
thero Is every reason to believe that thero
is as much cold In Nomo as tho original
prospectors supposed. Yet, ( In splto of good
conditions, In splto of its golden wealth
waiting to bo brought to light, Nomo 1
poverty stricken. With, tho precious metal
under its very reel 11 siuuus uuuuu mm
helnless. Ono word Is explanatory of tho,
wholo thing, a word wnicn causos mo
Nomo resident to rise and curse luxuriantly
litigation.
"Whut In TroultlliiR onie.
Instead of being lawless, Nome Is suffer
lne from a surfeit of law. Thero Is a tan
clo In tho recording ofllco that may
DO
unraveled' In a year or may never be un
ravulod. 1 It seoms highly probablo from
tho presont outlook that before come 0
tho disputes aro Bottled tho bones of tho
disputants will bo charcoal, ai me dchi
It will not bo posslblo to get a Clear uu
to a claim In the Nomo district for a year
from this writing. This condlUon of affairs
Is duo to a process 6f land-grabbing, re
peated and repeated again, unprecedented
In tho history of mining. When rich gold
finds were reported from Nomo minors bur
rlcd In over the lco last winter, antlclpa
ting tho rush nnd wishing to get in first
These early comers staked tho cntiro dis
trlct wherever thoy thought thero wns a
possibility of gold being found. Back from
tho beach for four miles Inland tho eager
prospectors staked. Often they didn't have
tlmo to get to tho ground, bo they staked
out tho Bnow. One man staked out a pond
supposing that the snow beneajh his foot
rested on solid ground Instead of frozen
water. Tho law plainly states that, In or
tier to locate a claim, a man must have
mado a bona fide discovery of gold. It I
simple enough for a miner to say that hu
baa discovered gold In a certain spot, and
by no means as simple to prove that ho'
hasn't. Therefore tho early comers wont
mdrrlly ahead staking out nnd recording
until the recording clerks sent back
civilization for eyeglusscs und hair ro
itoraUves.
By the tlmo the first lot of clalm-stakers
bad sot tholr claims comfortably recorded
J V
long enmo a second installment. Now,
there must to four stakes to n claim, placed
In tho proper relative position. When tho
now melted nnd shifted tho stakes came
down and toppled over or wero carried
away. Thereupon tho newcomers Joy
ously Jumped tho claims of their predeccs-
ors and appalled tho worn recording clerks
1th n new batch of rocords. In many
cases, It Is ntlcgcd, tho later comers unos
Untntlously removed such stakes as wero
found still Mgldly upholding their rights
and substituted their own. Tho cud wns
Ibat every square yard ot earth was cum
bered with conflicting claims. Men arm d
with picks and shovels wont forth to work
and encountered ono another squarely.
Thero was' n fine prospect of a heavy do
creaso In tho local population and tho
undertakers began to cheer up nnd tako
somo Interest In affairs, when the govern
ment, with Us soldiers, stepped In nnd
suid:
"This shall alt bo settled In duo time
nnd by lnw. Meantime ymi disputants
will havo to watt. Go down to tho beach
aud catch fish."
Early In Nomo's career thero was moro
(o bo dono on tho beach than to catch fish.
Gold was to bo found 'there. It was the
freo beach" upon which nny man might
hunt tho precious nnd glittering particles.
But a lawyer put an end to all that. Ho
picked out what ho considered tho richest
pot on the beach, staked it oft and recorded
It. There was a general protest. Tho
lawyer argued that he had tho samo right
to the bench as ho would havo to the bed
of any creek that he had staked out. No
body waited to hear tho end of his argu
ment. People didn't want to take a chance
thai, ho might bo wrong. They rushed to
tho bench and staked with such enthusi
asm that presently thero wasn't a foot In
five miles thnt wasn't claimed. Most ot
tho claims Were lecorded by moro than
ono person; somo by half a dozen. Tho
government stepped In again and ordtred
all ttork stopped on claims In dispute.
Then It wns tlmo to go fishing. Some
claims wero put Into tho hands of a re
ceiver, who took all tho output until such
tlmo ns the litigation should bo decided,
thus permitting tho claim to be productive
in tho Interim.
UnelesR Ocenn DreilKei.
Many strange dreams In tho way of
machinery purporting to bo dredges woro
brought to Nomo by peoplo In a hurry to
dig up wealth from tho occan'B bottom.
Somo never worked at alt, nnd still stand on
tho beach, melancholy monuments of failure.
Others encountered one Btorm and crumpled
up Into widespread wreckage There was
ono dredge, fashioned particularly for workt
Ing tho beach some dlstanco under water.
It stood on four legs, fitted with rollers,
which tho Inventor assumed Mould mako It
as easy to handlo as a push cart. Ho had
forgotten fho weight, however, for when Its
cndlces chnln of shovels was Set up together
with tho machinery It could not bo moved.
Thnt dredgo represented a loss of $50,000 to
Its owner. In all, hundreds of thousands ot
dollars' loss Is" represented by tho various
dredges which lie on tho beach, wrecked or
high, dry and useless. Some of them were
found, to bo Impracticable from tho first!
others could not stand tho stress ot the
beating Beas. Should these bo rebuilt or
reconstructed In practicable sbapo It Is
doubtful whether tho harvest they could
reap from tho Bandy bottom of the ocean
would be rich enough to pay for tho cx-
penso ot working them.
Nothing; for I.nte Conium.
To this town, tangled In' litigation, and to
tho beach, covered with wreckage, tangible
and Implied, came tbo fortune seekers from
tho realms of civilization, full of fantastic
expectations. Tho effect upon them was dls-
hcurtcnlng. When they found everything
within twenty-llvo miles staked out nnd .uo
chance evert to'.make an, attempt at gold get-
tin, thoy to d.. "Oh " or "Ah!" or "By
Jovol'' or "Fancy, now!" or Just plalu
"Damn!" according to their various nation
alities and tastes, and looked about for a
placer to settle. Even that was hard to find.
Muny ot thorn returned to the steamer with
out even unpacking their things. Somo few
plucklly took their inexperienco out Into
"other districts and wero rewarded by finds
ot gold of somo value. Those that returned
took back accouutB of a fearful condition
of affairs which existed only In their disap
pointed Imaginations.
For ono class of arrivals thero was work
to do, and these wero tho lawyors. Tho legal
gentlemen alone have thus fdr found Nomo
an El Dorado. When lltgatlon began It Is
Bald that thero were only two lawyers In
tho place. Naturally, thero was a grand
rush for them. They took all cases that
camo.ln and reached for more. Whon hey
had tlmo fo do a little reckoning each of
thorn found that In about half tho cases he
had been retained on both sides. Then they
got together nnd "swapped oft." Thero are
moro lawyors now, but they are all busy
twelve hours n'day.
ISfTect of the Bxodu.
It Is estimated that about 30,000 peoplo
rushed Into tho Nomo district in the months
of Juno, July and August. So for about
20,000 havo returned poorer than thoy came,
nnd It Is estimated that most of tho others
will como out beforo tho closo of naviga
tion, Tho departing guests havo left beblud
them groat quantttcs of food, mostly canned.
Nobody is going to starve In Nomo this win
ter, whether ho hns any money or not.
