Civil Service Classification.

AN EXPLANATION BY COMMISSIONERS GREGORY.
The statement has been published that the civIl
service commission are considering proposition TO
include In the classification OF employees coming
within the provisions OF the civil service act all en-
ployes enumerated In the laws relating the civil
Service except officers nominated by the President
and confirmed by the Senate, and the employees be-
low the 500 grade. Such classification would in
clude chiefs OF divisions and assistant Chiefs &C.
Commissioner Gregory said 10 a STAR reporter to-
day in regard TO this publications at is erroneous
in regard to the action OF the commission and Ia its
view OF the civil service act. The commission does
not ckntrol classification, II being the duty or the
heads OF departments, under the direction or the
President, TO classify their respective departments
The civil service act itself provides sec = for the
inclusion OF all officials clerks and employees in the
executive service, except those requiring TO be
frmed by the Senate, and those employed merely
as laborerS and workmen- All others come within
the limits OF classification. Chiefs OF bureaus and
divisions are exempted from examination not be-
cause they are not classified, but by rule r. which
specially excerpts then not from classification. but
from examination. Had they been counted as out
Side the classified service by law exemption by
rule would have been necessary or proper. The
l0wrr limit OF classification has for more than
year. In several departments, included persons re-
cetyInr salary

Fire-Where is the Responsibility!
To the Editor OF THE EVENING STAR:
Under the above heading an owner OF valuable
property in this city would like to be Informed
through the columns OF your valuable paper ,rhy
there is dirtsion OF responsibility iat operating

The fre department prOper-engineS, hose car
riages, &C., and their immediate fixtures and an
plianceS, are under the control and subject to the
orders OF the chief Of the fire department. Here
the CHEERS authority and responsibility seems to
end When 1t becomes necessary, in case OF fire.
TO turn In box, your message or signal is directed
10 an officer or the District government, separate
and distinct and not under the control OF the fire
department or its chief We refer to the Sllperin-
tendent OF the police and fire alarm Service-a very
competent , EN- man. no Doubt but an officer who
ment and responsible Immediately to the chief of
the fire department and not to the Commissioners
The fire at THE STAR Office yesterday morning is
an instance OF the division OF the responsibility
The wires and the entire fire alarm service In the
vicinity OF The STAR building seem to have been
entirely out OF order. Engine No. 2 was I'm service
at the corner of11th and Pennsylvania avenue from
eight to twelve minutes before an alarm was
turned in. The alarm was then announced to
headquarters by telephone from engine house No.

after several attempts finally succeeded in waking
and calling up the sleeping operator at the police

was done and the general alarm sent In all the en-
gineS and ladder companies promptly responded.
THE STAR Office fire is not the only instance Of
this kind 1t Is not necessary here to state but In
stances OF this kind have been numerous. We hope
our commissioners Will inquire Immediately into
this very important matter and place the entire
responsibility either upon the chief OF the fire de-
