"REFORMMN INDUNA. BESULTS OF AN INVESTIGATION GIVEN. TBStU-ONY OP TBB PRESIDENT OF TUB CIVtL SgB VIOB FORM OBINDlABA. IBT TauMEAra to tan tb bubb. Wabrtwgton, March Civil Service Ko shams pf the present Administration were quite thoroughly ventilated this morning before thc nate Special Committee, appointed to in? vestigate the manner in which Civil Service ideas sw being enforced.

William Dudley preoldent of the Civil Service Reform Association, of Indiana, was the witness. Some of tKe InutA givoo By -lr- Foulke uave already appeared in '(ua iHiutsK in the shape of a communication from him but the hearing this morning topi the flrst tho matter has receive- offici. i atten Air. Fouiko's statement was the result of an ex? haustive personal examination which he had made into the workings of the Civil Service in Indi? ana and some other poiuU. When removals be? came so frequent in lbtO he determined to in? vestigate the various cases.

To 20 a postmasters who hud been removed, 103 in Indiana and the i.the ra elsewhere, he addressed inquiring il tiuji buen mudu, or an opportunity given to answer the charges. brought 158 wliich showed that in lol removals in adiana and Ab removal-, else where, no notice of charges had been given nor was there ever any investigation as f.tr as tne pervtiis removed knew. In only two instsinccs did the replies thst Investigations had been made. of the otb-inls I had their hist notice of removal through a news- I paper, the item stating that a successor had been appointed. Lie.en of tho Indiana postmasters and 1- elsewhere had requested that thc charges brought against them be oommunicated to them, and been refused infoxmstioD as to thc causes ol removal Mr.

Foulko present-ed a list of Republican edi- tors who had been removed to have their places filled by Democratic editors. A list was also submitted of those who had been removed through Congressional influence. The It-tV-ti and papers in each removal were turned over to the commiltoo and altogether they make a formidable mass of testimony. In specifying particular caws of civil service abuses. Mr.

Foulke gusc the results of gatton made into the operations of the Indian? apolis post, offlce, of which Aquilla Jones was appointed postmaster In April, 11.5. Jones at once removed tbe assistant postmaster, cashier BM other leading oflicers ano then boasted: I made such removals for no other reasons than that the persons were Republicans." The men appointed were active political work- ers. Only were appointed. One Riggs passed the examination and on inquiring of Jones what the chances were for speedy work, was asked: Whom did you vote for at the bust election To two members of the Civil Service Association Jones declared that he wouid not appoint Re- even if they did pass an examination and stood highest on the Mr. Foulko stated numerous cases in which the posud service bud been crippled by politics.

Po? litical strikers wore made letter-carriers and in one case the carrier was unable to read the ad? dress on letters. Mail ai-cumulated in street boxes until they were full could receive no more. In one instance it had taken three weeks for a letter to be delivered from one part of the city vc another. After Mr. Foulke had tinished his investigation he determined to call on President Cleveland and ascertain if the Executive was cognisant of tho manner in which removals were being mado with? out cause, without charges or investigation.

Ac? cordingly ho laid the mutter before the President and learned from him that be was fully aware of the course pursued ami that it met hil approval. He told Mr. Foulke that it would be impossible to have an investigation in each case and inform the official oi' the charges, as thnt would involve a judicial examination In each instance. The President was sorry Mr. Foulke had made the vest.gatious and hoped he would go slowly, for os tie President expressed it: It was difficult to bring porty up to bis standard and Indiana waa particularly bad IB thia respect." On the whole," Senator Halo, the chairman of the committee asked how has Civil Service Reform been received in Indiana? Has it been a or failure We have not had ony Civil Reform ip Indiana," promptly replied Mr.

Foulke. So far ns it may be enforced I presume it is beneficial, but it has never been enforced." Mr. Foulke furthermore stated that when he had finished his inv-stications into gross abuses of the Civil Service in iRdiontt, be had Bought to give the result to the public by sending an account of his investigation to The New-iork Nation But for reasons unknown to him, that distinguished organ of MugwumpeTy never published the facts. The statement was also sent to Harpers Weekly." That paper did not publish the statement, but summarized it in an editorial. Mr.

Foulke suggested that an examin? ation of witnesses in Indiana would substantiate thc statements he had made. IT HT 111" UNION AND POSTAL TELECRAPH. A HEARING BBBBBM A' BENATB OOMM.ITT--E ON TUE SPOON KB DUUIs. Washington, March Norvin Green, president of the Western Union Telegraph Com? pany, addressed the Senate Committee on Inter? state Commerce this morning or thc Spooner Interstate Telegraph bia He said that ordi? narily his company would desire to be let alone, but under the circumstances, it was not averse to such an enactment as with certain ob? jectionable features stricken out. The persons, said he, who said that the Government could send messages for ten cents and make the line self-sustaining knew nothing about the business.

It was utterly impossible. He believed that the Union property could not ne duplicated for its cost. Cullom-Do you mean to say that jour property cost fi. 0,000,000 Dr. Green-sYes, 1 meau to say that it could not be reproduced for that sum.

In response to a question by Senator Hiscock, Dr. Greeu stated that the Western Union em? ployed about 10,000 persons, exclusive of mes? senger boya Nearly one-half of these uervons, however, worked at office! operated ty tho rail? road companies, and wcrked on aooount. Senator Hiscock inquired rn tc ihe extent to which the Government wouid necessarily have to I eo-operate with private corporations in order to reduce the expenses down to the point where the oervioe was rendered by the Western Union. Dr. Green replied that Western Union Com? pany had over 16,000 offices.

At least 12,000 of these were operated by tbe railroad companies, and of these 12,000 there was a very small per? centage which would not be deficit offices if the Western Union hod to hire tbe operators. There was another popular ern said Dr. Green, os to the sanctity of the messages. The idea that any one man had access to messages passing over the Western Union wires was too absurd to dis cass. Another popular error was that this great property was controlled by one man The largest holding of any one man was a little over 000.

The voting power, outside of the property, "was larger than tne voting power inside of the property. A member of the committee inquired whether thc small stockholders did not dread the influence in the management of a man owning one-quarter of the stock. Dr. Green replied that the stockholders selected for the management the men of highest business sense, and cared not what their holdings were. General Swayne.

Ingersoll addressed the com? mittee- for the Postal Telegraph and the United Lines which he represented. If the Postal could secure equal facilities with the West urn Union In ot poles and sup? plies, and in right of way over tho PBclflq Rail? roads, it would be satisfied. FLAX AND HEMP GROWERS PROTEST.

Torr. THE TWO SHIPPING BILLS. A ROFE JHAT THC TONNAQF. BBCNTY BIM. MAY OE rONSIDFRFB BY THK HAtfSI MFRITS, Wahhington, March 28 bills of jreat Importance to American shipp'ng.

one provid? ing its development by the payment of a Gov bounty, and the other known as the Free Ship" bill, will have final consideration before tho House Oommittee on Mcrohant Marine on Friday, rhe outcome of that meeting is likely to determine the fate of one or botlj of the measures. Thc Bounty bill is tbe one appioved by the New-York Chamber of Commerce nnd tbe National Shipping nnd is substantially a copy of th- French which has done so much to strengthen the French merchant marine. It gives a bounty of 30 centa a ton for evory 1.000 miles travelled by tm American ship in foreign trade. The Free Ship" bill is diametrically opposed to the former measure and pro for the admission of all eign-built ships free of duty when the Merchant Marine Committee was ap? pointed it w-ns thought to be packed In favor of the Free Ship" ides of its chalrmnn. Mr.

Dunn, nnd against the Bounty bill Yet thc strong representations made by shinning interests aave led to a hope that thc Free Ship" bill would be promptly shelved by the committee. The hope, however, is not altogether justified. No vote has pet been taken in committee which would in -lcate tho outcome of its deliberations. At pres? ent it seems that There will a tie when the com? mittee ls ready to vote. Messrs.

Dingley, Hop gins. Felton, Farquhar. Clark and Republicans except resrarded as favorable to tbe Bounty bill, while Messrs. Dunn, McMillan. Springer.

Hatch, C. P. Breckinridge nnd regarded as to it. This does not include Mr. Morse (Dem.) He has not attended any of th" committee meetings, the reason nl'eged beine- that he is dis? satisfied with his oommittee assiirDments.

At. any rate, of the committee doubt whether he will attend the meeting st which these measures ire to be disposed of. Owing to the great importance of the Bounty Dill to shipping interests, a suggestion has boen made which meets with some favor. This is, thnt the hills be reported to the House without recom? mendation, and thus be given an opportunity to ne connidered by the whole House on their merits. maaaures of this importance should be held in committee by a tie vote appears somewhat un? reasonable, and it ls on these grounds that a re? port without recommendation ls hoped for on Friday.
