Washington, November 5.—The Presi
dent this afternoon appointed Dorman B.
Eaton to be a member of the Civil Service
Comiiiissioujiu place of Mr. Thoman, whoso
resignation was accepted to take effect No
vember 1st. The appointment is but a
temporary one, however, ns it is proposed
to appoint a permanent successor to Mr.
Thoman in a snort time. Mr. Eaton con
sented to servo on the commission for a
few weeks in order to assist the newly
appointed commissioners in familiarizing
themselves with their ilnties, and also to
close up certain unfinished matters in
which he is greatly interested. It is not
known who will succeed Mr. Eaton, be
yond the fact that the new appointee will

Tho President Interviewed.
President Cleveland to-day expressed
himself as follows to a member of the edi
torial stuff of the Post in regard to the reor
ganization of the Civil Service Commission:
“Tho reorganization of the Civil Service
Commission was made necessary by tho res
ignation of tho members of the old board.
In such reorganization it seemed to me that
friends for the cause could bo made in the
party to which I belong, nnd which is nt
present charged with the enforcement of
the law by changing the political complex
ion of the commission. This view, I think,
was shared by all the old commissioners,
and the change has thus far progressed with
nothing but good feeling, as far ns I know,
on their part. In the selection of new com
missioners there were so many different
qualifications which I deemed desirable thnt
I hnve found it no easy matter to fill the
positions with men who would combine the
elements which I consider most useful to a
fair, honest and successful enforcement of
the law. Prominent leaders in the civil
service movement strongly advised me to
select one of the commissioners from the
South. This I have done, and the person
selected from thnt locality I am certain pos
sesses all the qualifications for an efficient
officer. Mr. Edgerton I never saw until
yesterday, nnd I don't remember that I ever
heard of him until Chief Justice Waite
urged him upon my attention as a most ex
cellent man for tho place. From my im
pression of him upon a personal interview,
nnd from the representations matlo by his
friends, I am entirely satisfied that no mis
take has been made in his appointment. 1
should be treated justly nnd fairly. I do
not mean to say that tho appointing power
should be unjust and unfair to others by
appointing .Sterling over the heads of those
who hnve passed a better examination than
he, and who are found on inspection to
possess the other qualifications essential
to un effective performance of the duties
pertaining to the office, but I think all who
have passed should be certified, and if, un
der a fair application of the rules and in
the exercise, honestly and in good faith, of
the selection thus afforded, Sterling should
be chosen, no friend of civil service reform
has any right to complain. No cause can
gain by injustice, or by the twisting of its
purposes to suit particular tasks, and when
the result is fairly reached by the proper
operation of the methods adopted to further
reform it should be accepted, especially by
the friends of the movement. They should
not permit those of whom they require
submission to say with any semblance of
truth that they themselves submit only
when the results accord with their views.'

usefulness involves the removal of stumb
ling blocks from the way of good, honest
men who are inclined to its support, and
demonstrate in every publio manner its
value as adopted to the every day affairs of
tho government.
“Thus two Democrats were first selected,
nnd I certainly intended to select them for
two prominent positions in the commission,
nnd this was dono largely in deference to
the sentiments and opinions held by good
men in the Democratic party, and it has
v.lso occurred to me that it was a plain dic
tate of common sense that one of the old
commissioners should, if possible, remain
for a time to aid tbe now ones. The prep
aration of the report of the commission is a
most important matter, affording an
occasion to commend reform to
tho people by exhibiting to them all
that it has accomplished, and it
ought to be very useful, too, in removing
misapprehensions and objections. Deem
ing the experience of one who has been in
tho commission during the time to which
tho report will relate of the utmost value
in its preparation, and fully convinced that
the knowledge gained by connection with
the administration of tho law would be a
great help at the outset to tho new commis
sion, 1 obtained the consent of Mr. Eaton
to remain temporarily in the commission,
• and I have to-day appointed bim in place
of Mr. Thoman, tno former Democratic
member. When Mr. Eaton finally retires,
I shall appoint a Republican, whose selection
will, I hope, detract nothing from the
strength and efficiency of the new commis
sion.
“My attention has been called to state-
menta in tome of the newspapers relating
to Sir. Sterling, of Brooklyn. ,1 have heard
that he has applied for examination na a
weigher in Now York. 1 have no informa
tion whether he baa passed or not, but I
judge from something appearing in the
papers that certain p«iplo tear that he has,
and are already lashing themselves into a
dreadful state of apprehension,lest he should
lw selected, after examination, to fill the
place to which lie was appointed without
examination, and from which hs was aus-
pended. When the Civil Service Commis
sion consulted with me as to the status of
Sterling and the true construction of the
rule bearing npou the subject, I agreed with
them in their second opinion that the posi
tion of weigher was subject to an examina
tion, and that it should be filled
by one who by means of
examination under the law proved
competent and eligible; but it seemed to
me that the good of the service required
thnt the pereon to be npi>ointed should be
possessed of certain traits anil qualifications
which no theoretical examination would
show, und one having in charge two or
three hundred men of the class with which
the weigher has to deal should possess
jicrsonal courage, energy, dcctaiou and
firmness of character. It w en
tirely certain that tho poMcasion
of such qualifications could not in the least
be determined by the result of in exsmips-
tion organized for the purpose of testing
an applicant’s knowledge of education, bo
I eugge ted that t te examination' for th a
place be non-competitive, but finding hat
tin-law and rules did not permit taut in
such a case, it was proposed that instead of
sending to the appointing power

Tlie Country is Done With the Bloody
Shirt—Civil Service lteform.
Albany, Novembers.—Governor Hill wns
serenaded at tbe executive mansion to-night
by the Jacksonian club, and the affair was
inode the occasion of a great Democratic
demonstration. In tbe course of the speech
acknowledging the compliment, Governor
Hill said: “One thing may as well be
deemed settled by this election. The State
of New York, identified as it is with the
business interests of the whole country,
anxious for pence and prosperity, liberal
in thought and tolerant of the sentiments
of others, can never be carried upon nny
issue of sectional hate. The past animosi
ties between the North ana South have
been forever buried and cannot be resur-
rectedjor tbe benefit of any political party,
however desperate that party may bo.
The returning prosperity of business
forbids tbe revival of tbe bitterness
engendered by civil strife. The people
desire amicable relations to exist between
all sections of the country, and will tolerate
no agitation of sectional controversies that
nre dead. The party that presents live
issues pertinent to the demands of the
hour is tho party that will receive popular
support. The people are interested in un
honest and economical administration
of public affairs. They want good govern
ment everywhere in the nation—city and
town. The demand honest rale for cities,
freed from legislative dictation or interfer
ence. They desire that the work of mu
nicipal reform should be progressed,
to the end that corruption
and dishonesty may be uprooted.
They insist that public officials shall be held
to strict accountability, and that genuine
reform be inaugurated. The Democratic
party will meet these demands and dis
charge them to the satisfaction of the peo
ple. We hnve not promised a
non-partisan administration. The peo
ple do not expect it, and it is
almost impossible under the true theory of
our institutions. We will, however, give
the people honest, efficient and competent
servants, devoted to the public weak
“Neither should I close without express
ing a word of rejoicing with you over the
victory of tho Democratic party in
the grand old State of Virginin,
in the election of General Fitzhugli
Lee to the Governorship of thnt common
wealth. You observed his manly presenco
as he rode in tbe procession at the funeral
of General Grant in New York, where he
had come generously to pay his tribute
of respect to the general of our
armies, whom he had formerly
opposed in civil strife. The victory of Leo
is important, because it wipes off the stain
of repudiation visible in our country, and
places Virginia in tbe bonds of men who
will not financially dishonor her good
name, : ml will insure a creditable and hon
orable administration of her affairs.”

Columbia, Maiiion Cousty, Miss., No
vember 7.—A difficulty occurred between
Bill Mon and Joe and Eliza Cook Thursday
night. Moss shot John Cook through tho
bowels, killing him, and also shot Eliza in
the right breast, inflicting a dangerous and
probably fatal wound. Moss ran from the
town and escaped to tbe woods. Pursuit
was organized by the citizens yesterday,
bat Moss succeeded in eluding those after
him until two bloodhounds were put on his
trail. The animals tracked him deep into
the woods and overtook him. He turned
and fired twice at tbe dogs, killing one of
them. By this time the pursuing party, which
was close behind the dogs, came up and
threatened Moss with death unless he sur
rendered. He gave himself up and is now
in jail.

Niacti, November 0.—The conspiracy among tho
followers of Prince Karageoriric, discovered yester
day, had more supporter* than waaat flnjt believed,
and had many influential men in its fold. It i*
learned to-day that it waa the intention of the con
spirators to take King Milan’s life. The ring leader
of the plot waa M. Valajievie. A number of persona
connected with the conspiracy have been arrested.
The excitement throughout Hervia ia intense.
Belobade. November C.—Queen Natalie, of Ser
via, on hearing of the arrest of the aix conspirator*
yesterday immediately weut to Niaaa so aa to tie
with her husband, King Milan, in the event of aeri-
oils internal troubles aritdug through the machona-
tions of intrigoerH. There is reason to believe that
the conspiracy ia the outcome of the revolutionary
programme recently planned by tho Pau-
Hlavonic committee iu Boumalia, According
to thla the revolution waa to have taken
place in Boumelia next year. It was to have been
preceded by a street or palace revolution in Sofia,
which would have overthrown Prince Alexander In
favor of Prince Nicholas of Montenegro, or of the
latter’s aon-in-law, Peter Karageorgivlc. The out
break at Sofia Would have becu the signal for an
other in Servia, and. King Milan having been swept
from tho throne, a Pan-Hlaviat cry would have been
raised for the union of Bulgaria, Eastern Boumelia,
Old Servia and Macedonia under one sceptre—
that of Peter Karageorgivic. The Pan-hiavist
intriguer*, however, made a mistake and took M.
Karaveloff, the Bulgarian prime minister, into their
confidence, relying upon the old sentiment of ani
mosity which he used to cherish towards Prince
Alexander while living in exile, but Karaveloff,
since he bssbeen in office, has become very friendly
with the Prince, and, whether out o! sincere devo
tion toward* the latter or because he saw the way to
make a great career for himself, he not only re
vealed the conspiracy to tho Prince, but persuaded
the leading conspirators to precipitate the movement
and executo it in favor of Prince Alexander. It is
said that the Pan-Slavist committee had the backing
f Russia in their origiual scheme.
Paris, November 6.—The Journal dea Debats

A Murderous llcctor,
Plymouth, Exq., November 6,—Rev. Stewart
Ross, formerly rector of Christ Church, at Belfast,
Ireland, waa addressing the Ply mouth Young Men’s
Christian Society last evening, when Charles Joy,
a Canadian emigration commissioner, burst into
tho room and shonted; “You hypocrite! You
eloped with my wife!” Ross turned pale and fled
from the room. His andience were surprised and
greatly electrified. Tbe moment many of them re
alized what was the matter they became a howling
mob, and pursued their lecturer for a mile, rolling
all the time. At this point lloes, who was breath
less and driven to bay, turned suddenly and stabbed
two of his most active pursuers. The others, com
ing up at the moment, seized and disarmed the
murderous rector.
Tho police then put in an appearance and arrested
Boas. He waa taken before a magistrate to-day,
when charges were lodged against him, aud he was
remanded for a week without bail. It transpires
that Boss disappeared from Belfast two years ago,
lewlng a wife and three children. Mn. Joy, who
was a teacher in bis Sunday-school, also disappear
ed at the same time, which led to the report that tbe
couple bad eloped. Mrs. Joy was in tbe prisoner’s
lodgings, and when informed of her paramour’s ar
rest gloried in her connection with the “Lord’s an
A STAEAMBOAT DISASTER.
Tlie Mountain Girl Sunk l>y n Collision—A
Circus on Board.
Cincinnati, November 6.—A special from Law-
renceburg to tho Dally News states that between
two and three o’clock this morning tbe steamers J.
W. Oaff and Mountain Girl collided at Splitrock,
two miles from Aurora, and that tho latter vessel
sunk, carrying do wn with her seven men and be
tween thirty aud forty horaes. Tho Mountain Girl
was leased by a portion of John Robinson’s abow,
which waa traveling as a cheap circus and variety
concern. A performance was given at Lawrence-
burg last night, and the company was on its way to
Rising Sun st the time the disaster took place, with
the exception of a young man named Harrell, of
Lawrenceburg, who waa connected with the show,
the drowned men were all deck hinds.
Cincinnati, November 6.—The collision between
the steamer J. W. Gaff, en route from Memphis to
CinciunaU. and the steamer Mountain Girl, going
down the river to Yevay, 1ml., happened at 1 o’clock
this tnoruiug. about a mile below |LauBberg bland,
some ten or fifteen miles below Lawrenceburg. Iud.
The Mountain Girl was chartered to convey the cir
cus exhibition along the river, and had left Law-
renceburg with its people, horses and circus prop
erty, after 11 o’clock last night Its next appoint
ment was at Vevay or Rising Sun. The show was
iu the name of Holland & Menahan. Captain D. L.
Thompson, who waa in command of the Mountain
Girl, was at the wheel when the boat started down
the river but his mate had the wheel at the time of
tbe accident although Captain Thompson waa in
the pilot house. The Mountain Girl a a small U]
the river steamer, built for the Big Sandy trade, am
owned by the Big Sandy Packet Company.
She was valued at from $5,000 to $8,000. It is
thought sho can be easily raised. The J. W. Gaff
was not injured in any way. She arrived here this
morniugVitb the people belonging to the circus,
numbering between thirty and forty. Two are
missing, a cauvasman and a lamp-lighter, but no
oue cau tell whether they were drowued or merely
left in the confusion aboard the Mountain Girl. The
circus men lost ten valuable track burses and a
number of snakes. The circus property Is nearly
all on tbe boat, where it will be injured by tho
water.
Later.—From the best information that can be
obtained from the circus people, it now appears
that John King, of Cincinnati, and Richard Harrell,
‘ Lawrenceburg, were drowned. Boino of the men
y they saw King iu the water. Nobody can be
found who has seen Harrell, and It ia therefore as
sumed that he waa drowned. Captain Thompson
thinks all of the steamboat’s crew are safe.

A Speech by John Itrlght.
London, November 6.—John Bright, speaking at
Birmingham last evening, asked why tha Conserva
tives did not try the experiment of protection on
the British colonies instead of foreign countries.
He said that Canadian import duties on British
goods were usually higher than on other Eu
ropean goods, but the colonies would
soon sever their connection with England if the ex
periment were tried. If a few trades were protected
all others were equally entitled to protection. Tho
suggestion of Lord Salisbury was so absurd that be
(Bright) wondered at hia proposing it.
English Poll tics,
London, November 6.—Parliament will be sum

During the inteiim, if there ia a large Liberal ma

should have a majority, they will prepare a pro
gramme for the session. If the parties are equally
divided, the Conservatives will retain office.
The Antl-Chineae Agitation.
/Tacoma, Wash. T., November 6.—The loss caused
by the destruction of Chinatown amounts to about
$z5,0U0. The burned buildings were mere shanties,
but a !*rge quantity of merchandise waa
consumed. The buildings were fired by the
antl-Cooue agitations who expelled the Chinese, so
that in cmc they should ever return they would
have no habitations. There were only two China
men in the city at the time of the fire, the others
having been driven out.
Portl'.nd, Ore., November 6.—A special from
Seattle, W. T., to the Oregonian, says: Much dis
appointment exists here ainoug law-abiding citizens
over Governor Squires’ proclamation. They have
asked that troops bo sent here, and think
the presence of troops is absolutely necessary to
preserve tho peace. The Governor's proclamation
will havo no effect, they say. A contjence waa
held yesterday between the leaders of the anti-
Chinese organization, committee of citizens aud a
committee of Chinese merchants. The last
named agreed to leave if they were
paid for their property. Guo Chinese firm here has
'130,000 invested in property.
Last night a publio moetiug waa held at which
members of the pcaco committee and
anti-Chinese agitators spoke. Refcr-
to the outrages st Tacoma
were greeted with lond cheers. The city is in a
fever of excitement, and it ia tested trouble will
occur before even this week ends. It is believed
by conservative citizens that the presence of United
States troops alone wiB prevent bloodshed.
