EXECUTIVE ORDERS.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, _Washington, March 11, 1889_.
Whereas civil-service rules for the railway mail service were approved
January 4, 1889, to go into effect March 15, 1889; and
Whereas it is represented to me by the Civil Service Commission in a
communication of this date that it will be impossible to complete
arrangements for putting said rules into full effect on said date, or
sooner than May 1, 1889:
_It is therefore ordered_, That said railway mail rules shall take
effect May 1, 1889, instead of March 15, 1889: _Provided_, That such
rules shall become operative and take effect in any State or Territory
as soon as an eligible register for such State or Territory shall be
prepared, if it shall be prior to the date above fixed.
