Commissioner Eaton, being asked what
foundation there was for the rumors
published in some Of the papers lately
that there had been collision between
the Civil-Service Commission and the
heads Of departments or an unfriendly
spirit manifested on the part OF
the latter, and especially on the

for such rumors. They appear, Mr..
Eaton says, to have their origin among
the enemies Of reform and Of the
policy Of the Administration. No head
Of department has shown any dis
position to evade the rules or to en-
barrass the Commission. The story
about the Commission rebuking the
Secretary of the Interior in connection
with q desired certification from Dakota
was utterly baseless. Secretary Lamar
