But underlying the disturbance there really is a foundation. this situation. AN ACTUAL STRINGENCY IN THE MONEY MARKET, which can be relieved at present only by the Treasury Department. The Department recog- nizes this, and the only question is whether what they are now doing 1s all that 1s necessary or not. ‘The fact that there are very few applications for prepayment of taterest, and that the bonds do not come inin great numbers at the Diddings, seem to contradict the cry of “‘Nomoney !” ‘There 1s much that is contradictory in the situa- Uon, Business throughout the country 1s active, and this, of course, makes the demand for cur: There 13 no. iron-riveted rule that binds the Treasury to the line of policy it 1s now Ii 1U43 concluded that the situation demands it a radical departure may be made at any time, but no change has yet been determined upon.

SARGANT, OF THE BRITISH CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION, ON THE MRTHOD OF MAKING APPOINTMENTS IX ENGLAND. A Srak reporter called at Willard’s Hotel and had a talk with Mr. E. B. Sargant, of the British Civil Service Commission. While not officially Tepresenting the English commission Mr. Sargant 1s taking advantage of his vistt to this country to study our civil institutions and compare civil- service methods and examinations with those of England. In conversation with Tag Srar re- Porter he sald that in England neither the com- mission nor the appointing power has any lati. tude of discretion in making selections of persons to fill places under civil-service rules. “For instance,” he said, “suppose there 1s a call for ftty clerks. These would be sup] our system Of open competition. {on would be open to all persons of pi terand capacity. Perhaps there would be five hundred applicants, for the average 1s about ten or twenty applicants for each vacancy of this class. Now the fitty who attain the highest stand- ard in the examination must be taken to fill these Positions, ‘There ts no discretion about it. LIMITED EXAMINATIONS. “Then we have the lim{ved examinations,” he continued, “for which candidates must be nomt- nated. For some of these itis required that the candidate shall be nominated by one of the trus- tees of the British Museum, before he is eligible to examination, ‘The average of applicants for these places 1s only about three for each vacancy, “WOR SERVICE IN THE FOREIGN OFFICE,” he sald, the candidate must be nominated by the minister of foreign affairs, ‘To illustrate: A young man who wishes to obtain service in the foreign rocures a nomination from the minister certifying that he is of proper character, ete, That Young man’s name fs put on our list, and when. ever there fs a vacancy to be filled he 18 summoned for examination, Some time may elapse between he date of hls nomination and bis exaimination, Now this system of nominations works well in thé foreign office.

LAIRD SAYS THE DOCTOR HAD MADE IMPROPER PROPOSALS TO HIS (LAIRD'S) FOURTEEN-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER, Mr. Andrew J, Laird, tne clerk in the Adjutant General's Office, who stabbed and painfully wounded Dr. Z.T. Daniels at the Surgeon-Gene- Tal's Office yesterday afternoon, as published in ‘THE Sar, Was detained at the first pfecinct sta- Uon last night, having failed to procure bail. Last night Mrs. Dr. Bird, a friend of the Laird family, visited the station and told Lieut. Amiss what caused the trouble. She said that about three weeks ago the fourteen-year-old daughter of Mr. Laird told her that she met the doctor on the ‘street and he waiked home with her. He pro- posed to her that she retire with the family that night as usual, and, after her parents were asleep, that she come down st in her stocking feet, and he would meet her at the front door. Accord- Ing to Mrs. Bird’s story, the child refused and told her sister of what had passed between them. She was afraid to tell her parents at that time, Dut about a week ago she told her mother. The latter did not tell her husband, because she was afraid it would excite him and cause some trouble, ‘The matter worried her, however, #0. that Monday night she informed her’ busband: ‘That night he did not close his eyes and raved like a maniac, and yesterday afternoon the assault occurred. MR. LAIRD'S STATEMENT. ‘This morning Mr. Laird was escorted to the Po- Moe Court by an ‘When 8 Stax reporter called nis ah “article in a morning Paper whicn {nl hat the wounded doctor had seduced his (Laird’s) daughter, he indignantly denied the truth of the publication. He sald that the doctor had made a proposal to his daughter, which she afterward communicated to her mother, and Monday night the lattertold him. About two months ago, he said, his daughter met the doctor on 14th street. and’ they visited @ confectionery store, where they had icecream. They left the store, and while walking along 14th street he put his arm around her several times, and she pushed him from her. When they arrived near his house the doctor proposed that she retire with the family at the ust Ume, and that later in the night she come down stairs and meet him at the basement door, ae idee Le nee ee not meet but informed the fai of what occurred, as ‘stated above. Mr. Laird added that he and the doctor were raised together in the same town, Eufala, Ala, and that he had always considered ‘him a warm fiend of the family. ‘The doctor also married his (Laird’s) cousin, and lived with his wife and child at No. 1457 14th street. DOCTOR DANIEL DENIES. ASraRreporter this morning called at the resi- dence of Dr. Z. T. Dantel, at 1457 14th strect, and found the doctor in bed. There was a bandage over one eye, and he said that theknife had struck the frontal bone, severing an artery and then gash- ing the upper portion of the nose, He sald that Laird struck him in the region of the heart, but the knife blade only penetrated his clothing. He Satd that his physician had told him that he must remain quiet for several days, but he thought that he was getting along very well and would be up tn afew days. His wife was present and listened to the conversation, When the doctor was asked in regard to the published statements that the cause of the shooting was the seduction, or attempted Seduction, of Mr. Laird’s young daughter, he said: “The entire statement 1s made out of whole cloth. It is wnqualiniedly false, I never seduced his aughter, never rode with her in a car- riage, and never attempted to seduce her, Inever made any indecent proposition to her of any kind. I neverseduced any woman, and I have nothing to do with women, My hands are per- fectly clean in this respect.” ‘He then went on to say that he had known Laird all his life. They were boys together. When Laird came here, abont six years ago, he did what he could to assist ifn, and did give him material aid. He had been the medical attendant of Laird’s family since the latter's residence in this city, and had visited the family in that capacity. winter, with ME. Clark, a clerk in the r eral’s Office, where was em- loyed, he had endorsed a ote of Laird’s for $100. i THE BROKEN MAIN. It is Patchea Up Now and the Water Turned On, A SEARCH FOR FURTHER CRACKS WILL BE MADE— CAPT, SYMONS REPLIBG TO MR CRANE'S STATE- ‘The last patch was put on the cracks4n the L- street main yesterday afternoon, and at 10 o'clock last night the water was again slowly turned on. A gang of 150 laborers is hard at work laying open the earth fora distance of 1,000 feet along the line of pipe, preparatory to making such repairs as the Commissioners may decide upon. It will be some time before this work is finished, as Capt. Symons fears to open too large a trench, for should astorm come the water would settle there and might cause serious damage tothe main. After the earth has been dug away from the pipe tt will be subjected to a minute inspection to ascertain IF THERE ARE ANT OTHER CRACKS: in existence that have not made themselves mant- fest. Captain Symons does not think it will be necessary to turn off’ the water again, Dut he ad- vises that, while the work of uncov 1s under way, the ta, for a break 18 likely to occur at any time. If acrack exists in the pipe in that part which has not yet been uncovered, the re- moval of the earth would take. away whatever re- Ure ofthe water ou the aside, abd possibly Fesult ure of the watef on 1m another break. 48 TO MR, ORANES’ ALLEGATIONS. Captain Symons was interviewed to-day by a ‘Stak reporter in relation to the allegation made by Mr. J. H. Crane in bis letter to TH Stan last night that the breaks were due to the air com- Pressed in the matn by the fallure to open the air- valves whenever the water Was turned on. Captain Symons said that whenever it is found necessary to turn on the Water in that main, itis first turned on from the small mains that connect it with the K street main. He said that not only does the air escape by Way of the fire- flied, but there are jouses that are connected with this main, He said in réterence to Mr. Larman's statement from which Mr. Crane “there are some twenty or more ol valves;” that “there are ONLY TWO COCKS IX THAT MAIN that were really placed there to act as air valves.” Besides all these vents for the air in the houses and fire pluga, Capt. Symons says that there is a large two-inch blow-off in the reservation at Penn- sylvania avenue and 26th street northwest. AIR MORE ELASTIC THAN WATER. “It we wished to keep the shock off the main,” said he, “we would leave the air ig it. Everybody knows that air is more elastic than water, and it would act as a cushion if left in the main when the water is turned on. We dont exclude the air because of the damage it might do, but because ‘we want the water in there and don’t want the I believe that the final cause of the breaks ‘On and off of the water. cracks existed fn the mains, as they have for librium "being destroyed by ving the pressure would have the effect to weaken the pipe at the point where the crack 1s located, and eventually force it to separate and discharge the water ABOUT THE PIERS. “Tt fs singular,” sald Capt, Symons, “if the piers had nothing to do with the breaks that every crack or break started on the plers. I believe, as T have before stated, that the breaks were caused by the settling away of the earth which was filled ’m around the main to assist the stone piers in it, and the consequent Increase in the ‘the earth on top and the water within In such a case the pressure of the earth he bottom and in the lying to Mr. Crane’s dental of Capt.
