John M1. Gregory. ‘The following 1s a copy of a letter written by Ton. John M. Gregory, of the civil service commts- sion, on the employment of women in the public service “Does the new civil service aystem favor the ap- olntinent of women to public service?” Tt must e aduiitted that thus far fewer wornen have ob- tained places under this than under the old sys tem, ONL of 341 appolntments to the classitied service made uni 16, 1583, ot in ouly tiirty-two have been of females. IC 4s ulready generally known tuat the civil ser- vice examinations for élerkships are open alike to men and wo at all applicants are examined 2 same Fules, and placed, If they Dass, on common registers for certitication’ to the appointing officers, the heads of departments. When notices of vacancies are received by the com- sion, if no mention of the sex required were In ciuded th the notice, the four names graded highest Would be sent, without regard to sex; but thus far all reqin eepL WO, 10F Names t6 fll vacancles have contained the signtiicant words “males” or 0 | Stemales.” ‘Two requests in which no sex was men- Honed were recalled and the omission corrected, ‘The Wrong, theretore, if wrong there be, lies not at the door of the civil service commission; nor yet at ‘that of the system, unless it be claimed that the System has frilevéd the appointing powers trom pressure and left them at Mberty to select for ser- ch persons as they deem Dest. Lon has as yet been given of the rea- preference for male clerks; but 1t Is hinted that, under the old system, an undue and inconvenient proportion of female clerks was pusied upon the departments, and that the heads or these departinents are now using thelr oppor- ty to even up the force. It 1s true that ex. cessively large numbers of female clerks and copvists are fGund In some bureaus One member Of Congress fs Said to have procured the appoint- ment Of forty women from his district, and few men Ip power we-e able to resist the importunities or women Who claimed to be in poverty, With in- fant culidren or ajzed parents to support.” Nor were Women's blan always found powerless as aneans of winni s ig la I 1s suid also that the bad conduct of some un- Rorthy Women hes created prejudices against femaie clerks in sou Ube dificulty whieh tn entoreing order and industry among fe clerks renders them hostlie to any’ Inereas? of clerks. Some of those Who appreciite at the high- est the service of the many capable, Industrious, and altogether worthy women found in the depart ments sul feel reluctant to ask fur the appoint- ment of the unknown women whose names may be sept them cfrom the lists of the civil service commission, But doubtless much of this will change when the superior charac. ter and atility “of the women brought forward by the civil service examinations shall become known, Many of the best examinations have been Passed by Woinen, and the books of | he commission coutain at this tthe the names of many who would do honor to the service. While these women are not superior to the | €st Of those now in the depart ments, they will certilnly be found better and more Capable than huudteds who under the old system Were Unrust tn without examinauon, and wis, While in other cases divisions find or feel | too olten without merit, by the “influence” of Syta- pathetic congressmen of of others igh tn autho! ty. ‘There is no general prejudice against feinale clerks, and, as far as known, the heads of Ube executive departments are disposed to do tull Justice to women and lo give tue thelr proper Share of tue pidces When Ube needs of the service will permit. ‘The new elvil service system must Inevitably favor the future einployment of women—first, by bringing to Ube nouice of appointing officers’ the hig qualifications shown. by female applicants in the exatinations; nd, second, by Introducing to tue oMices a class of Women whose capacity, {0- dustry and good conduct will prove to any doubt- ing cllet of & bureau or division the sterling Value of @ true Woman’s service,” Indian Office Promotions. ‘The following promotions have been made in the Indian office: Andrew B.

Hutéhingon, Kansii, $900 A Humor of a Treasury Robbery Denied. ‘There wasa report in circulation on the street to-day that a fifteen thousand dollar robbery oc- curred in the Treasury department yesterday. ‘The story was emphatically denied by the Acting Sec- Tetary and the officials tn every branch of the de- partment where money 1s handled. ‘They ex- Pressed tguorance of any recent robbery or short re of any Kind. AS the best evidence of the falsity of the report it was stated that Treasurer Wyman Went to Mount Vernon to-day with some trieuds— something he would never have done if there had been any Mnanclal troubles in the department. Capt. Howgate’s Account SECRETARY LINCOLN SAYS THE TREASURY DEPART: MENT HAB NEVER ASKED FOR THE ACCOUNTS. Secretary Lincoln sald to-day In regard to the reports of an unwiilingness on the part of the sig- nal office to furnish a transeript of Capt. Howgate’s Accounts to assist the Treasury department in bringing sults against the bondsmen, that no Tequest had ever been made of bis department, for the accounts, nor. as far as he could learn, ot the chief signal officer, and. such Imputations were unjust. He had learted, he said, ip a vague way, that some time ago a ear or mofe—a subordinate of the Treasury departinent. had conversed with 3 subordinate of the signal omice upon the subject, Dut that no officiat requests for information was ever made. He added that alt the Information was Juld before the grand jury when Howgate was in- aleted, but that if that was not ealiaciory & prop. erly framed request to him would undoubted! eilelt all the particulars in the possession of his @epartmen REUNION OF Ex-CONFEDmRATES.—The second an- Gy cam] is parade in the morning, a. cession was A.

Are They Looking Up His Record? SECRETARY M'PHERSON SAYS HE ENOWS NOTHING OF IT AND DOES NOT PROPOSE TO GO INTO THAT KIND OF BUSINESS. In relation to the statement that an employe of the general land office 1s engaged in looking up Hendricks’ record in the old files of the office for the purpose of getting out matter for a campaign document for the republican campaign committee, Secretary McPherson says that if such 1s the case he knows nothing of it. He says he has recelved a number of letters from various parties urging him to make a back door investigation of certain prac- tices of Gov. Hendricks when he was commissioner of the general land oftce, but he has declined to do 30, a8 he doeg not propos* to enter {nto that kind of business; he does not intend to wash any dirty linen, he Says, He declined to say what the mat- ters were referred to in the letters, saylug they Were of a personal character, and sucti a8 be did ‘ot Want lo have anything to do with It, WHAT COMMISSIONER M'FARLAND SAYS. A Stan reporter this morning asked Commisstoner McFarland, of the Land office, if be nad seen the statement In the Post relative to the employment of clerks in the General Land oftice, 1 looking up the record of Gov, Hendricks. “Yes,” he replied. “I have read it. I don’t know exactly what Is alluded to. Probably the publica- tion ret-rs to an examination now in progr’ss In this office at my request. In the discussion and Seltlement of questions arising In this off et has frequently been stated that in the eurlier rallroad grants the Commissioners of the General Li Office have withdrawn lands before there was any map of definite location flied in the cftice, and in some cases before tne act was passed by Congress, Frequently tn cases of settlers’ claims thie potnt bas been raised before the office that the withdrawal of lands ought not to operate as a bar to settlers’ rights because of the irregularity in their being premature and without authority. In consequence Of this, and for other reasons, a few vays since I ordered a clerk to look over the records and see what the facts were.” “He has not yet reported to me,” continued the commissioner. “That is what [suppose Is alluded to iu the newspaper. It 1s. a matter that will take but a short time to look up.” “Have you.a corps of clerks at work on this matter?” asked a Stan reporter. “I don’t know whether the clerk has assistance or not,” replied the commissioner. “I suppose that he may be getting assistance trom other clerks. It 48 not a Work involving either much time or labor.” “Does the inquiry cover the period of Gov.
