WaDhtngt0n Letter.
From our regular cofFsspoodentl
There is likely to be some delay in the
building Of the five great war vessels
provided for at the last session OF con-
gress owing to the fact that the bids re-
ceived were largely in excess Of the
amount appropriated to pay for them.
The navy department has issued new
proposals in which some notifications
are made which it is hoped will enable
the ship builders to get inside the ap-
propriations with their bids. Boat ma
val officers say that the appropriations
are too small to obtain vessels of the
class wanted.
Similarity Of names brings about some
queer thinga For instance, a short
time ago Andrew J. Whitaker Of Illinois,
who Was formerly . clerk in the fourth
auditors Office, was appointed deputy
fourth auditor. Saturday the fourth
auditor received letter from Andrew j.
Whitaker Of Carpentersville, Ill, stat
ing that be had seen . notice in q Chi
cago paper Of his appointment a. depu-
ty fourth auditor, and that he accepted
the appointment Az possession is nine
points in law the first named gentleman
will probably retain the Office while his
Illinois namesake will be allowed to keep
the disappointment.
Civil Service Commissioner Lyman
now says that the members Of the COM
mission have never mentioned to the
president anything about the proposed
extension Of tho civil service rules to the
chiefs Of divisions in the departments,
but that the commission IL unanimously
in favor Of it. No body doubts that at
all. The commission is in favor OF any
thing that win increase its power, but q
great many people think it will be cur
tailed instead Of increased.
Acting Secretary Of State Wharton
says the Behring go seizures arc matters
concerning only the treasury depart
ment. the seizures being made by YES
sels Of tho revenue marine service. The
state department viii have nothing to
do with it unless the British government
should send It some communication on
tho subject, which it has not yet done.
