Interior Department Appointments.
SECRETARY TELLER AND THE NEW CIVIL SERVICE


RULES
The Secretary of the Interior has prepared q cir
cular, which will be issued shortly, fixing the
grade for which it Will be necessary to pass an
animation to secure place in the civil service
The civil service rules provide for the division
Of the clerical force into two classes or
grades-the examined and the unexamined
Where the dividing line should be drawn is
left discretionary with the heads OF the depart
menta. Secretary Teller tOld q STAR reporter to-
day that he intended to include In the examined
grades all the classes down to and inclusive OF
the $500 class Under this decision no appoint
ments can be made In the Interior department
unless through the commission, except watchmen
labOrers and messengers. The statement that the
Interior department intended to. open the $500
grade to appointment withou examination is not
correct: as this would make It impossible to pro-
classification at the Interior department under
the new order. the 81 900 and $500 grades will be
grouped together and called class A.

The Washington Monument.

WORK ON IT WILL NOT BE DELAYED FOR LACK OF
FUNDs-A HEIGHT OF 410 FEET RXPECTRD TO BH
REACHED THIS YEAR
Notwithstanding the fact that the price paid for
marble for the Washington monument under the
contract just awarded to Hugh Sisson, OF Balti-
more. is in excess OF the price originally estima-
ted, there Is still sufficient money on hand to COM
plete the entire structure. The original estimate
OF the marble dressed was g. IL per cubic foot,
while at the ra To paid to Ssson 1t will amount to
y IS per cubic foot dressed. The general con-
struction OF the monument has been kept so far
within the limit at rst estimated. that, as stated
sumclent funds are available for its completion.
Under the terms OF the contract Slsson Is COM
peled 70 deliver any stone until the 9Th OF August
but ne sin hopes OF being able to have consider
able amount on the ground before that date. AS
1t arrives the stone will be cut and dressed pre-
paratory to setting. WOrkmen will not commence
to set the marble until the 18th OF next October.
BY which date 1t is expected to have q large
enough supply cut and dressed on hand to con-
tinue the work without Interruption, except for
changing the shafts, until . height OF four hum
dred and.ten feet Is ached. and by that time the
snow will probably be flying, and the weather too
