A despatch from Ottawa says: Hon.
Sydney Fisher en Wednesday morning
Jtitruduccd the (:its Servece. bill. He ex-
plained that there had been a careful
review of Canadian, British and United
Slates legislation. The present bill pro -
;resod "a larger measure of civil service
The most important innovator is the
establishment of an independent civil
service commission of two members,
who will have the statue and salaries of
deputy nrinial.rs. They will control the
entrance examinations and will give
such certeficates as may be necessary in
re,ar,l to promotions and salary increas•
ea The cc►nm'asion will have power to
ranko regulations and control examin-
ations and the arrangements for cure-
tte' out their work.
Entrance into the civil service, which
le now lett "entirely to the judgmtont of
th • nominating power," will be by open
compelitive examinations. Under this
present system, candidates pass quali-
t%ing examinations, but are not -neces-
sarily uppointed. Hereafter the ap-
pointment Is to be made after compoti-
ta•e examitiatons, according to merit,
by the. commission.
BRITLSH SYSTEM.
The procedure is to be according to
the British sy-sk•m; examinations w.11 bo
held as often as neece<ssary, say twice a
year. The heads of departments will
T.otfy the commission as to vacancies,
etc., and the commission will advertLse,
stating the offices which are to be con-
peted for. The commission will, while
making appointment, generally by mor -
It, be given latitude in the case of can-
diva'ee who excel in one particular
branch, and. who may therefore be ap-
pointed to offices for which they are
specially qualified. The probation period
will be six months. In that time a
Deputy Minister may reject a new ap-
1x•mtee, giving his ivasens. The cone
miss.on may, when advisable, give the
probationer another appointment.
All departmental services at Ottawa
are to be (neludevl in the inside service
and brought under the Civil Service
net. Any outside service may be
brought in from time to time by order -
in -Council, and otherwise they remain
under the old law.
The classification of the service is to
be made in three sections, the first in.
eluding those qualified for administra-
tive, executive, and terhit cul work, the
second a class preparatory to the first,
and it third will. Include those doing
rculine work under direct supervision.
Those in the third class miry enter the
second only by competitive examination
and on an equal footing with outsiders.
PROPOSED SALARIES.
in the first class the salaries are to
be from $2.100 to $2,800 and from $2,-
800 to $4,000. In the second class the
salar.es will be troth $800 to $1,600 and
frorn 81,600 to $2,100. In the third
class tow salaries will be from 8500 to
$700 and from $800 to $1,200. Thero
watt be a statutory Increase of 850 a year
fo • those deserving it, and this may be
doubled on certificate of merit from the
commission.
There are now in the s:ervico "tempor-
ary clerks' who have been there in
some cases thirty years. In the future
a temporary clerk may bo appointed
only for six months, through the com-
mission.
Mr. Fisher, dealing with another ques-
tion, dcc:arcd that it was intended by
the new uct to do away with the practice
of making salary appropriations in the
estimates "notwithstun.ling anything in
the Civil Service Act,'
The bill was given its first reading.

Drat he would got even with J' hn Mew,
the proprio'or of the Queen's Hotel, and
that Mero states( ho saw the aocuwod in
the hall of the hotel after the alarm o'
the had been given. That ev Bence was
probably enough to necessitate the com-
mitment of the prisoner for trial, but
when Chas. Crossitt, bai}iff of the dis-
