Switzler's Copy int: MADE BY cy AN Traciny BUREAU OF 81 THAL ¥OL, Witzler, the chief of the bureau of statisties, has been criticived, his friends think, with undue severity ior bis action in Inquiring of the Secretary of the Treasury whether the was not “authorized to appotitand ‘tive copyists’ allowed the bureauif sta- by the appropriation ved Marrh 3d, 1885, for the fiscal June BU. 1586, xt tie annual lary of $720, or less, each, and thus enable the department to select. such copyists from persons qualitled ay such, but who have not undergone the civil serviee examination?” ‘The act referred to Is the les Intive, Judicial und SpBropMaton: Ill, approved March 3d last, and the efanse re- lating to the bureau of statistics 1s us Mllows: ‘or oie charge of the bureau of 3,000; chief clerk, $2,000; four 18s four, four clerks of lass three, five cierks of class two of class one, copyists, one r. two kiborors, one female laborer at $480; in all, $46,540.” In conformity too suggestion by the Seere- tary Col. Switzier submitted his. seen to the Sceretary in writing, together with his own views on the subject, “ile held that the Seere- tary could appolnt ‘these copylats at annual salaries of $72. As the net did not appear to fix their salaries, the question of compensation resting, iu his opinion, inthe discretion of the Secretary, He held also thut if competent per- Sons could be employed at the salary named, it would not only the right but the duty of the Secretary to employ th in the interest of economy. He considered the inference clear that if Congress had intended to Ax the salaries of copyists in this bureau, it would have done so apt icatly, as it had done in the cases of other nuFeaUs. Mr. McCue, the sollettor of the Treasury, to whom the Sait of Col. Switzler was referred, gave un opinion sustaining Col. Switzier's view of the case, and declaring that “under the terms Of the act, "aud for the reusons stated by the chief of tie bureau, the Secretary Is #0 author- ized and empowered.” The inquiry, together with the opinion of the solicitor, was then referred by the Secretary to the first controller of the Treasury, who tn turn nade answer #up- tng Co . Switzler's opinion as to the Secre- ry’s discretion in this matter. Subsequently, however, Judge Durham made a statement to the Seerétary explaining bis opinion, and say- ing that bis attention “had been called to portion of the appropriation act of Mate 585, In which sald copylsts are provided { and I tind that the sam of $900 In allowed to exch, and not $720, as stated in the inquiry, I desire now to say if my opinion had been asked, 4s w whether the gopyists provided for in sald act the sum of § to euch, bets therein appropriated, ‘came under tue elvil service classification, I would have said that under the Clussification’ nade by the ‘Treasury Gepar- ihent sald copyista would come.

THAT DELAYED COOL WAVE—IT IS EXPECTED TO BRING A LITTLE RELIEF TO-NIGHT. “What's the matter with the cool wave that is now overdue?” asked a Star reporter at the Signal office to-day. “Stuck on the mountain top,” was the reply. “It evidently couldn't getacross. Weexpected that it would be here during the night, but it missed connection somewhere on the road. See here,” sald the officer, pointing to the weather maps of the ust few days. “That cool wave has been hanging right there in the central states, and any would have predicted that it would travel this far. The weather is very comiort- able in the west and in the lake fwzion, but the — section of country between here and New York is burning up. ‘The heat here is equal to that on the cult coast. We are going to have some relief, though.
