THE DISPUTES OVER THE SCOPE OF
THE CITIL SERVICE RULES.
Renewed Talk Among Business Men
About Postal Telegraph-The Hill In

Especial Telegram to the Globe. !


WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-The final decision
of the civil service commissioners as to
competitive examinations for promotion
in the departments and on the various
questions which have been submitted by
heads of departments to them will prob
ably not be made before September. Nu-
merous questions have been presented by
the secretaries, all involving the same gen.
eral principle as to the application of the
competitive system to promotions in the
grades. One of the questions is where
the dividing line between the examined
and unexamined grades should be drawn,
whether at 5000, $1,000 or $1,000 clerk
ships. Some heads of departments are
said to be of opinion that this is not a
matter to be submitted to the commits
sioners, but that it is to be- de-
termined by the secretaries themselves.
The commissioners are now all absent
from the city. The secretaries are abetnt.
None Of Their, are expected 10 spend any
time here during August, and the appoint
ment clerk, at least of the treasury, when
ne started IN his fishing trip, sent card
to some of the bureaus and doubtless to
all of them directing that no appoint
ments be made during his absence. AS
the treasury trinity, Folger, Sperry and
Butler, is absent, there probably will be
no appointments made until August is well
advanced. The civil service commissioners
have not as yet given any sign as to their
purpose ia this matter, and have made no
answer to the various public comm ents on
their neglect to formulate rule.
RELIEF FROM TELEGRAPH MONOPOLY.
Business men in this as well as other
cities are loud in their demands for
protection against the Western Union COM
pany. They now claim that it is the duty
of the government to step in and provide
that wholesome and proper competition
which alone can liberate the public from
the grasp of the Western Union. All the
leading journals from every section of the
country received here to-day favor the es-
tablishment of a postal telegraph system,
and the fact that the question is being so
widely discussed is strong evidence that
the sentiment in trade circles has great
weight. The plan advocated by Senators
Edmunds, Sherman and Plati
looks to the building Of
an independent government line
to be operated as an adjunct to the mai
service. The government line would en-

If They had Beed Fo11owed-A Comp
trolier Appointed by Mayor Edison to
Fill the Campbell Vacancy.
New YORK, Aug. 3.-The general ses-
sions court grand jury made present
hent to-day in court, regarding the cou-
pom frauds of ten years ago. The present
ment is based on afidavits by Artemus H.
deputy comptroller and Abraham B.Earle,
late city auditor. 1t their joint affidavit
they recite the history of the issue of the
bonds of which $15,OO0,OOO were printed
by the National Bank Note company,
by order of Comptroller Connolly. On
Andrew 81. Green succeeding to the Office
of controller he refused to use these bonds,
because they bore on the coupons printed
fac simile of the signature of his prede-
C056Or, duO u0 OIu0r6u dll U0SITOY6Qs LII
Andrew Il. Green's affidavit he says in re-
gard to the disposition of these bonds,
that to the best of his recollection he sum-
moned three of the most responsible en-
ployes of the Office. Earle, Storris and
Cady, to count the bonds, and after max
ing a memorandum of them to destroy
them. He then accompanied them to the
new court house, where they we're de-
stroyed by fire.
The grand jury's presentment says the
Fourth National bank consented to ap-
point an expert as proposed, but the other
banks declined. The jury thought the
public interests required a thorough ex-
animation of the comptroller's Office by
impartial and skillful men who were not
connected with the city government. Their
term was 100 short to enable the jury to
make a personal investigation, but they
had examined some of the parties con-
nected with the com mptroller's Office and
had reached the following conclusions:
First-That if the payments of city
coupons had been made by responsible
bank or trust company, as was formerly
the practice, 10 loss could have occurred
to the city.
Second-That if payment for the cou-
pons had been made by the chamberlain
as formerly, the city would have been pro
tected from loss by the large bond of the
chamberlain, which the jury believe would
apply to cases like the Carroll frauds.
Third-This igrand jury is of the opin
ion that law should ge passed prohibit
| ing any issue of city Indebtedness othel
than in registered form and they recon
mend the conversion of all outstanding
coupon bonds into registered stock.
Fourth--From the testimony before tn,
grand juryh they believe the system O
book keeping in the comptroller's offic,
can and should be SO changed and i'm
proved, as to make repetition of the lat
coupon fraud an impossibility.
Mayor Edison has appointed Seth E
Grant, his private secretary, comptroller
to fill the vacancy caused By the rsigna
tion of Comptroller Campbell. For man
years Grant wasss the superintendent of th

A JACKSON STREET FRONT l..

Mr.. Ryan has absolutely closed the pur-
chase of all of the above property and in ad-
dition he has secured from
Henry Hale the refusal of
seventy-fve feet on Jackson, corner of
Sixth (110 feet on SIXTH for $500 per front
foot. This is the corner now occupied by
Samuel Potter as furniture store. 1t is
quite probable that if Mr.. Ryan could Sc
cure, at living figure, $50 feet on Jack
son. extending from the corner of Sixth up
towards Seventh, he would do so and make
the main entrance to the hotel on that cor
ner. At present Mr.. Ryan occupies the
fortunate position of being the absolute
owner OF an admirable site, significantly
large to enablelhim TO more than COM
plete his contract with the citizens
and still, if the other property
owners will show liberality
commensurate with those on Seventh
street, building with still greater proper.
tIons can be. secured at au increased ex-
peDse of two or three hundred thousand
dollars, 1t is to be hoped that before it is
too late Mr.. Ryan will be aole 10 add the

A TALK WITH Mr.. RYAN.

Daily globe., 1883-08-04

Of course there may be individual prop
erty owners who would have preferred
some other location but every one could
not have the hotel next to his property and
hence there must be some disappoint
ments. The universal popular verdict
Is that, SO far as public
interests are concerned the site is
an excellent one. It is central to business,
convenient to access, sufficiently removed
from the heavy wholesale district and suf-
fciently adjacent to depots and steam
boat landings. GLOBE representatives
talked with scores of people after the loca-
tion was known yesterday, and they found
general approval of the site and general
rejoiciong that the matter had been finally
settled.
There was an active flying about yester-
day to secure real estate in the ''hotel re.
gion." There were probably a good many
contracts made which have not yet been
made public, but it is estimated that be-
tween three and four hun
dred thousand dollars worth of realty
changed hands yesterday on the
strength of the hotel boom. One of the
notable transfers was the celebrated
100x150 feet on the southeast corner of
Cedar and Seventh. This property had a
series of sales last winter, commencing at
$4,000 and reselling three or four times
within ten days, until it was finally pur-
chased by Mr.. Barteau for $4,000. Here
the boom halted, but Mr.. Barteau gave it
another start yesterday by selling it to a
syndicate for $4,000.
s. Lee Davis, real estate agent, scld the
corner directly opposite yesterday, Sc feet
on Seventh by 100 on Cedar, for $29,O4O,
or $40 per foot. G. E. Dickerman was
the owner and G. A. Moore the purchaser.
Mr. Davis also sold 25x150 on Seventh
street, between Wabashaw and Cedar for
$3.50 or $3.50 per foot. B. Beaupre was
the owner and A. Il. Rogers the purchaser
Mr.. G. E. Dickerman also sold to syn
dicate 50x150 Oh Sixth street between
Jackson and Robert for $4,000.
James Ii. Davidson sold TO Robert
Mannheimer, 50x10O on Robert between
Fifth and Sixth streets for 1900.
These were few OF the transactions
which reached the public though many
others undoubtedly took place
1t is pretty sure to predict
that next week will be a lively
boom in st. Paul realty. In fact if to-
day was not Saturday, when the real estate
offices take half holiday, it is probable
that there would be a good deal of trading
to-day. As it would. be dangerous to go
about the real estate Offices this afternoon
with two or three hundred thousand dol
lars in certified checkss buyers and sellers
will have to wait until Monday to make
their trades.
People who have been waiting for three
months past until the million dollar hote
was assured, need not delay after this issue
of the GLOBE. If the boom is commen
surate with the hotel it will be big one, a.
that structure, including the site, will whe1
completed more nearly represent an in
vestment of million and half than th,
original three quarters proposed.

ming, to CLEAN what points were attainahle
relative to the building. Mr.. Ryan said he
really had but little definite information
to give, as his chief attention had been
given to securing the site, and the plans
of the building were yet to be determined.
In fact, the site itself had good deal to
do with the plans of the building, and
hence there could be nothing but the most
general matters considered until the loca-
ton had been selected. The architect
whom he had employed, Mr.. Eagan,
of Chicago, was now here looking
over the ground preparatory to making
the plans and as soon as they were decided
upon he should have no objections to
giving them to the public through the
columns of the GLOBE.
In response to numerous inquiries some
general points were glea ned which are of
interest at this time, though changes and
notifications are more than probable to
occur. Ground will be broken within ten
days and the work will be prosecuted as
vigorously.as possible to completion. The
main or gentleman's entrance would prob
ably be on Seventh street and the ladies'
entrance on Robert. The building would
contain number of stores, perhaps
fifteen or eighteen. As to whether
the building will cover the entire
ground he could not definitely say, but it
would probably have at least It's feet
frontage on Seventh street and still greater
on Sixth. Of course, if he should purchase
the corner of Sixth and jackson from Mr..
Hale, as was possible, the building would
extend on Sixth street from Robert to
Jackson, and that would involve changes
in other portions, in the entrances, ETC., all
of which showed that no definite outline
could now be given. The building will be
of both brick and stone, but the kind of
stone had not been determined upon.
1t would certainly be six stories
above the basement and might be seven.
In this talk Mr.. Ryan expressly dis
claimed having anything taken for granted
as decided upon, though there were, of
course, certain general lines which could
be thought of at the outset, and as the
plans were perfected they might or might
not be worked in. He disclaimed having
any partner in the enterprise, but ex-
pected to erect the building as an indi-
vidual venture.
