JCommissioner Eoosevelt Says That All In fractions of the Law I WILL BE BROUGHT UP IS THE COUETS. The Elan Following tesorts to a Darin? Defense of Dirt Throwing. - Civil Service Commissioner Eoosevelt cays the law will attend to the members of the Virginia Republican Association if they ;: attempt to collect political assessments, and the association insists it will proceed at once to gather in such assessments. The -Slam following bas determined on a dirt throwing manner of defense. rsrxcu . txlzckjlk to rax msr-TCH.1 "Washen GTOif,October31. Civil Service Commissioner Theo Roosevelt bounded back to town to-day, and immediately revoked his recent determination not to talk to the newspapers by delivering himself of tbe following: "I have carefully read the pub lished interview with Governor Thompson concerning political assessments of depart mental clerks by the Old Dominion League, a Virginia Republican club, and I heartily indorse all he says. I will guarantee that Governor Thompson is no more anxious than I am to get at these men, and the evidence laid before tfs, in my opinion, fully warrants our presenting the case to the courts. "We will lay it before the proper prosecuting officers the instant we can get in all the testimony. Meanwhile, as I see that the club bas threatened to send around a committee to the various depart ments to-morrow, to collect contributions, I warn all concerned that we will promptly prosecute anyone who violates the law in soliciting, receiving or giving them." The agents of the Virginia association de clare that they will be on hand to-morrow to collect the Virginia contributions from the office holders, Mr. Roosevelt's threats to the contrary, notwithstanding. TOTTING IK DEST MEOWING. The latest attempt of the Flam crowd to clear themselves of the charge ot violating the civil service law is to swear to the inno cence oi each other and then unite in throw ing dirt at their prosecutors. Flam himself goes to Virginia and keeps out of harm's way, and Godwin, who, it is understood, endeavors to exonerate himself on the plea that he knew nothing about the issuing of the circular, is quoted in the local press as giving Flam a certificate that he (Elam) has attended scarcely any meetings of the club. How Godwin can know whether Flam was at the meetings, without being there himself, and how he could be there himself without knowing of the existence of the circular, which everybody else in the con cern knew all about, and' which bore both Flam's name and his own, in plain print, neither he nor any of his friends attempt to explain. NOT SATISFACTORY. But this sort of exculpation does not satisfy the parties in interest They need must make war upon Civil Service Com missioner Thompson, because, being a Dem ocrat, they assume that he has been the instigator and mover of the whole business. As a matter of fact, Mr. Thompson has kept his hands off too scrupulously, if he has erred on either side. He has felt keenly the delicacy of his position, and though visited daily by members of the press and others who have been watching the proceedings, he has refused to step outside the strict pale of his duty as an officer of the Government and give away any of the information in possession of the commission, or offer any advice as to outside movements against the offenders. Secretary Noble, who started out with his investigation in a manner that gave promise of good results, has been paralyzed by the lies told in the defendants' behalf. Of course A GENERAL DENIAL was put in, and he was innocent enough to accept it, falling back now upon the state ment that, as the Civil Service Commission is going to prosecute, he has nothing more to do in the premises. As the Secretary is new to public life, he has not yet learned by sad experience that to leave one's stables to be cleaned by somebody else is a poor way to make a record as a reformer One thing, however, General Noble is prompt enough to say. He declares that no person shall make the rounds of his depart ment to collert political contributions with out a permit As the permit can be ob tained only from the chief clerk, and as the law is broad enough to render that officer liable to fine and imprisonment if he makes himself, even in so indirect a way, a party to the misdemeanor, it looks now as it the committee charged with the duty of passing the hat would have to do their work in tbe open air, as far as the Department of the Interior is concerned. WHAT IS PK0HIB1TED. The Commission Called on to Define In Rending of the Law. "WASHlNGTOjf, October 31. Mayor -homos . Hart, of Boston, recently ad dressed a communication to the Civil Service Commission, asking what part the members of the civil service may properly take in politics. In reply the Commission calls Mr. Hart's attention to the regulation of the President of July 14, 1886 (President Cleveland's letter to heads oi departments in the service of the General Government), and to the subsequent instructions of the Postmaster General to postmasters and their employes. The reply continnes: Beyond prohibition as to political assess ments, the civil service act ana rules confer no authority or duty upon tbe commission to inter fere In the conduct of officeholders. The com mission has no part in removal;, except where removal Is made lor t e reasons forbidden by tbe act. and the system does not Impair the legitimate and salutorv activity of parties or abridce the right of officials to vote and freely express their omnions. As to where the precise line dividing the proper and improp er participation cf officeholders and public ser vants In party politics is to be drawn, must evi dently be left to tbe discretion of tbe President and appointing officers. The commission lias also sent a replv to the query of a clert in the Hew York post office, who asked whether a political con tribution made at the request of the secre tary of a political committee would be in violation of law, and whether, if a person were degraded or dropped from the service for not making such a contribution, the commission would investigate the matter. Tbe commission, in its reply, says: That the act and rules do not prohibit a con tribution by an officeholder for politic I pur .poses, and that tbe commission will Investigate and report concerning any dismissal or degrada tion of any person In the civil service, or any chance in his official rank or compensation, be cause be has given or withheld or neglected to make any contribution of money or other valu able thing for any political purpose.

"Washington, October 31. Iu Bradford Prince, the Governor of New Mexico, in his annual report to the Secretary of the Inte rior, calls special'attentiou to the subject of land titles in that Territory. The Governor reviews the history of Congressional action in the matter, and states what action on the question is necessary. Upon the subject of Statehood the Governor says, in part: New Mexico was a much older Territory than either of those admitted; its population largely exceeded that of Montana or Washington, it had a special tight to self-government under the treaty of Guadaloupe Hidalgo; It bad only failed of admission in 1876 by an accident; its resources were both greater and more varied, and its population was better adapted for safe and conservative self-government tban that of other sections of the west Tbis refusal to ad mit be r has forced us to recognise tbat there Is a prejudice in tbe older States against New Mexico, which, although based solely on ignor ance of our condition, yet it is none the less poweriui ana injurious. The Governor answers, at some length, the statement made by persons opposed to the admission of the Territory, tending to show that she is not yet prepared for State hood. He shows that, while the older na tive population is more or less illiterate, tbis is not true of a very large proportion of her people. The ratio of illiteracy, he says, ha; been reduced 20 per cent during the last five years. The Governor makes an earnest plea for the admission of New Mexico into the Union. A CIYIL SERVICE T1CT0RI. Tho District of Columbia Commissioners Will Make No Political Appointments. rSFZCLU. TZ EOS X TO THX DISPATCH.1 "Washington-, October 3L President Harrison's Board of District Commissioners has adopted civil service reform with a vengeance. There are three Com missionersone a Democrat, one a Republican, and the other an army officer, supposed to be without any politics whatever in his make-up. The Democrats and the army officer have com bined against the Republican Commis sioner, and issued an order announc ing that hereafter no appointments will be made for political reasons. This unusual proceeding is being hailed with joy by tbe civil service commissioners and their followers, but not by the rank and file of the Republicans of the District of Colum bia who spent their money for the election of Benjamin Harrison. Mr. Douglass, the Republican Commis sioner, while not announcing himself a spoilsman, emphatically expresses surprise that his colleagues should find it necessary to announce in advance what their policy is to be with regard to appointments. He bases his objection to the order on this ground. He says that no such thing was ever heard of before as a body of Govern ment officials forestalling their official acts in the newspapers. A TESTIBULE TRAIN WRECKED. Nearly a Score of Fenou Injured, Some of Whom Will Die. Kansas Cut. October 3L At day break this morning a rail gave way under the west-bound vestibule passenger train on the Chicago, Santa Fe and California. The engine passed over in safety, but all the cars were derailed, except the dining car and sleeper. The baggage car was thrown on its side across the track, the smoking car was overturned and the chair car was stood almost on its end. There were not many passengers in the latter cars, but they all received injuries that were more or less serious. D. Campbell, of Chicago, an expressman in the baggage car, was crushed by the safe, and will die. Thomas Beck, a livestock dealer of this city, had his ribs broken, was also injured internally, and cannot recover.

Last night Mr. Balz received the follow ing reply from General Barillas, President of Guatemala: 'Revolutionary news on frontier ot Mexico Is false." Tbe latest Peruvian advices say that four officers belonging to tbe revolutionary force of Iglesias were captured on September 26, while attempting to capture the cruiser Lima, in Callao harbor.

It was not a political affair, bat all joined, as the action Is looked upon as indicat ing the near approach of tbe opening of the strip to settlement At Hunnewell another enthusiastic meeting was held; also one at Arkansas City. President Charles F. Adams, of tbe Union Pacific Railroad, authorizes a denial in toto of the story about tbe purchase of the Alton road, and tbe further report tbat tbe collateral trust bonds to be used in payment for stock are being printed. He says: "No purchase of tbe Alton bas been or will be considered, formally or informally. The whole story is sheer nonsense." Tbe above relates to the story that the Union Pacific Railroad had purchased a controlling interest in the Alton. The convict Albert Sutherland, or John Bowman, arrested at Philadelphia as Tascott, the murderer of Millionaire Snell, is a Chi cago thief of unsavory reputation. His name is not Bowman or Sutherland, but Brown. Bowman is an alias. He was released from the Ohio Penitentiary last April, after serving a term of 2K years for burglary at Urbana.

Washington, October 31. Postmaster General Wanamaker to-day made public an order fixing the rates for telegraphic service for the Government Tor the present year. The order provides that for day messages not exceeding ten body words, to be sent a distance not exceeding 400 miles, the rate shall be 10 cents, and half cent extra for each word in excess of ten. For a distance over 400 miles and less than 1,000 miles the rate shall be 15 cents for the first ten words and three fourths of a cent for each additional word in excess after. For a distance over 1,000 miles one-half cent per word shall be added to the 1,000 mile rate. For night messages not exceeding 20 words, the rate shall be 15 cents for all distances and one-half cent ex tra for each word in excess of 20. A letter from the Postmaster General to President Green, of the Western Union Teleeraph Company, was also made public to-day, in which he says: I desire to state that I have availed myself ot all accessible sources of information to ascer tain the rates and rebates in forco with the various classes of customers of telegraphic business, and have weighed carefully all your ahin irmmnnK in relation to rates, and while f I cannot admit your claim, that the privileges accoraea to teiezrapa compauies uy tut; -ui. 01 Congress of 1S68 are not and never have been of any value to your corporations, I am impressed with what you say In opposition to tbe application of Associated Press rates to Government business, and con sequently have, for the fiscal year, revised tho order fixing rates, and issued the same this day to all the departments of the Government A copy of tbe order is herewith enclosed. As tbe reduced rates hereby determined for day mes sages are practically tbe same as those npon which one of the divisions or departments of your company, as well as one of its principal competitors, transacted business for the public generally for a considerable time, until absorbed by your comp-ny, I presume no question can arise as to the fairness ot these conclusions. Permit me also to add that while there is no necessity or Intention to place any burden -upon your company, yet I am convinced that tho Government is entitled to very special consid eration in rates and privileges of telegraphic service: therefore, for the purpose of determ ining Government rates in the future I now formally propose what I have already suegested and understood you to be willing to approve, viz.: The appointment nf a commission of five suitable persons (two by your company, two bv this department and the fifth by tbe four so chosen), to inquire and report to tbis depart ment and to your company upon the actual cost and proper value of telegraphic service, their conclusions to embrace a recommenda tion of equitable rates lor u-overnment tele graph service for. the next succeeding fiscal year.
