THE CIVIL SERVICE RULES.
THE CABINET To CONSIDER THEM TO-DAY.
lnY rEI.RnRAP PHI rO TILE TRIRUNE.l

lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRI9UNEl
WASHINGTON, April 26.-Until today the Presi-
dent had carefully considered the CiVll Service
rules. so that the published statement that he was
uniayorably impressed by Ghom was premature, to
say the least The rules are to be the subject OF
Cabinet deliberatIon aud discussion to- morrow, and
the mon bers Of the Civil Service Commission ex-
meet that their recommendations will be adopted
without material change. 1t is understood hat the
rules are more youmlnous than would have been
necessary had not the law provided for the appor-
tlonment of appointments among tho various
States. This provision has required that various
ou1Iifylng phrases and exceptions should DO ON
bodied in the rules, which have thereby DC
come somewhat cumbersome ana COM
plex than was desirable. The complexities
however, are believed to be more apparent than
r,al. and present no difficulties which cannot be
readily understood
There is reason to believe that except for the pro-
vision mentioned. the number of rules might nave
been smaller by three or four 1t is understood that
several of the rules simply recte various provisions
of the law respecting examinations and appoint
menrs and TO them, of course. no objection can DC
raised. There is also reason to believe that the
star dard OF qualifications proposed is by no means
30 high As to provoke opposition the ground that
the examinations are to be too severe that they
will prevent the admission TO the public service OF
anv person of fair ability who is possessed OF such
n degree OF education as may be obtained in any
oood pubhc school There ar reports to The elect
that all the Numbers OF the Cabinet are opposed 10
the rules they now stand AMI declare Lnat tDey
must undergo IN Iterial notifications lhes' re-
ports are incorrect, although it IL true that several
Cabnet offc Will suggest changes with "A view %
which however. they regard IN the MAN, as COM
