OFFICES GO A BEGGING. An Unheard-of State of Affairs in the Departments. ONE PLACE IN THE NAVY DEPARTMENT DECLINED BY TWELVE PERSONS—THE SALARY SAID TO BE ‘TOO SMALL TO SECURE THE SERVICES OF SUCH A PERSON AS IS WANTED—WHAT I8 SAID AT THE CIVIL-SERVICE COMMISSION. The Secretary of the Navy is undergoing an experience seldom known among cabinet offi- cers. It is the usual fate of such officials to be practically besieged ‘by office seekers from the moment they take possession of their port- folios until four years later they relinquish their grasp on the handle. In the Navy De- partment, however, at the present time, this state of things seems to have been reversed. One month ago the promotion of a typewriter and clerk in the Bureau of Steam left a $900 vacancy to be filled. The Civil Service Commission was called upon to furnish a list of eligibles for the selection of a clerk to fill the place. A name was fixed upon and the —usually—fortunate man was notified of his— usually—good luck. Somewhat to the surprise of the Department he refused, giving the ex- cuse that THE SALARY WAS NOT LARGE ENOUGH. Another name was quickly drawn and another letter written. The surprice was somewhat increased when the second man notified the Department that in view of the low salary which the place offered he could not accept the appointment. A third man was selected, but with the same result. Things began to assume an unheard of hue, and the Department offi- cials were at a loss to understand why they could not find a man for the place. The fourth, fifth and sixth selection met with the same fate. It was thought that a the lucky seventh would accept. le, too, ed. Appointments and declinations were now being made in lightning order, and to-day a telegraphic dec- ation was received from the twel man. Hopes are éntertained that in the course of events some one will fall into the trap. The duties of the position are comparatively light, and there is nothing about the place to discour- age any applicant except tho , which has been the objection in every one of the twelve cages, A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE on a slightly smaller scale is being undergone in filling a position at $750 in the Naval War Records Office. Nine ladies have refused the Poor tear and the tenth has just been noti- fied of her selection. Of course there is a good chance of promotion for such an appointee, but there seems to be a most un! hesitation among the office-seekers, This repeated re- fusal to accept the _ offered is particularl; odd in view of the fact that the persons selecte have all passed the preliminary civil-service examination. AT THE CIVIL-SERVICE ROOMS. While a Star reporter was at the Civil Serv- ice Commission rooms to-day five letters were placed on the desk of Secretary Doyle. These letters were from the Navy De) nt, notify- ing the Commission that the five persons named in the five letters had declined appoint- ment. The situation, as learned by Tue Stan reporter, was somewhat different from the view obtained through the Navy Department spec- tacles. The upon the Commission was for = oe ee and type-writer” at a salary Mr. Doyle said that well-qualified stenog- or type-writers could not easily be in- duced to enter the public service at the same salary received by ordinary clerks of the lower grade. Persons at all expert as stenographers or type-writers could earn more money ontside. CALLING FOR STENOGRAPHERS AND TYPEWRITERS. Mr. Doyle said that persons of technical training, such as stenographers, bookkeepers and typewriters, who passed civil-service ex- aminations received appointments almost im- mediately. He examined two stenographers in New York on the 11th inst., and before two weeks had passed they had both received ap- pointments in the De; ents in this city. It had become smomewhat a practice, he said, for Department officicials to call fora “stenographer and typewriter” to fill places that were know to law only as clerical places, The appropriation acts provide for clerks only, and the Department chiefs call for stenographers or typewriters, men who, in dition to ordinary clerical qualifications possessed technical knowledge and had technical training. Thus the list of eligibles of stenographers was constantly ex- hausted. Department officials found that as a rule, persons with guch acquirements were more efficient. As good stenographers and type- writers, however, can generally obtain em- Ployment, it wasdificultto fll places of low grade with such persons, Investigating the Tunnel. ANOTHER EXPERT ENGINEER APPOINTED BY THE CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE. The joint congressional committee to inves- tigate the tunnel frauds has selected Col. Henry Flod, president of the board of public works of 8t. Louis, as one of the board of expert en- gineers to prosecute the investigation of the work in the tunnel. Col. Flod has accepted the position and is expected to arrive here this evening. Mr. Jas. M. Wilson, of Philadelphia, was the first appointment made on the board. The committee has selected a third member, but it is understood that he has not yet signified his acceptance. To Consider Appropriation Bills. MEETING OF THE HOUSE APPROPRIATIONS COMMIT- TEE CALLED FOR NEXT MONTH. Mr. Randall, chairman of the House appro- priations committee, has directed that a call be issued for a special meeting of the committee on Wednesday, November 21, for the purpose of beginning the workf the appropriation bills for the next session of Congress. This ac- tion has been taken upon the information that the District estimates would be ready for con- sideration by that time, and it is therefore eS that the District appropriation will be first one to be passed by the House.

The Democrats Ahead, but They Will Not Have a Walkover. THE FIGHT IN THE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS— THE DEMOCRATS WILL MAKE GAINS OF GON- GRESSMEN, AND THEIR CHANCES THE BEST ON THE ELECTORAL TICKET. Special Dispatch to Taz Evenrne STAR. Ricuwonp, Va., Oct. 31—The real campaign work for this state has about closed, the finish- ing touches;‘‘closing up the gaps,” so to speak, being all that is necessary. Both parties, of course, claim that they will carry the state for their respective tickets, Calmly looking at the situation it may be said that the vantage seems to favor the democrats, but it also appears that they will not have a walkover. Therea great many protectionists per se among the demo- crate in Virginia, but many of them will prove loyal enough to national interests to vote the straight democratic ticket, while some may prove recalcitrant or not vote at all. On the other hand the tariff reformers have done some good missionary work among republican farmers, and it is claimed that their accessions from this source will overbalance the losses in other directions, which must include defections on account of tobacco and whit interests, of which there will be some, ¢ ly in the fifth district, in which Danville is located. There has been less oratory in this campaign than ever before known. The republicans have shown but little disposition to work from the “stamp,” preferring the “‘still-hunt” process. This has caused a light demand for democratic speakers and relieved the country of a vast amount of oratorical pyrotechnics. Chairman Barbour is not a novice to be caught napping, and if he is beaten it will be only by might «thing alte within the rangs of possbiitien a is In . frst a. the —— — the uublican encumbent wne, paaeetiaae Kendall, of Stafford bo. This district was safely democratic until it fell by the wayside through the disaffection of Gen. Geo. T. Garrison, after his failure of renomin- ation in 1884, by which he encompassed the defeat, in 1886, of his then successful rival for the nomination in 1884, Hon. Thomas Croxton. foes has a =p apo and it will require a stro val ent through, ‘athis may oreaaldared « doubtful district. In the second there is a tri fight. R. C.

The chances are that Bowden will be re-elec' Williams can secure 8,000 to 10,000 oi the 20,000 republicans, not allowing for in- creases on either side, which would insure the election of Marshall. This, however, appears improbable at this time. i e third district has Hon. George D. Wise as a candidate against Judge Waddill, the re- ublican nominee. While the republicans are olding few public meetings doing but an little ‘ing, they are doing a good deal ees Wad ie ie fact, will ‘hardly poll ular, and may not, in fact, wil ly rfl vote. John 8. Wise is here at work for him, feebly, it is said, but that does not help the matter much, as he has fallen from grace with the Mahone contingent. The democrats will win, as usual. The fourth district is attracting the lion's share of attention on account of the Mahone- Langston fight. Both factions have re fol- lowings, but whether it is pousible to divide the large republican majority in this district between them sufficiently near even to give the victory to Mr. E.C. Venable, the democratic candidate, remains to be seen, and can only be seen after November 6, unless a com) ise is effected, which is being attempted by the na- tional republican committee, between the two quarreling factions. The republicans of the fifth district, which is in the great tobacco belt, and in which are lo- cated many of the numerous whisky and bran- dy distilleries, are working those two questions for all they are worth, and not without effect. The present Representative, John R. Brown, is the republican, and Posey Lester, a bright and popular yo lawyer, the democratic can- didate” Thia is alto a doubtfal district.
