more Investigation.
WASHINGTON, May r. The house
committee on reform IN the civil service
today resumed the investigation of the
charges that certain federal employees in
Baltimore had violated the civil service
law without mourning punishment. Post
master General Wanamaker appeared
bringing with him. at the request
of the committee. the report of the
poSt0tflce inspectors, giving the result of
their inve> tiga.ion into the Baltimor.
post office. He desired to say. in view Of
the comment upon the time that bad
elapsed between the stipation and the
denials Of the employees, that more than
four months had elapsed before the COM
missions Investigation report reached the
president. Some had no opportunity to
make an earlier response to charges.
Wanamaker further said he had no dis
position to defend these men, but could
not personally investigate them and turned
then over 10 the proper officers, and was
governed by their reports
Boatner SAID: at appears that these
parties before the commission authorized
TO make the investigation admitted their
guilt. but the postmaster, whose duty it
was w NtlcLiiSo ILlCliiJ lpth hb dCbAOu
and when the matter came to you Wan
amaker) instead of acting upon the con-
fessions of the parties, you instituted
another investigation for the purpose of
enabling the people TO deny what they
admitted The postmaster general
moved his hand IN remOnstrance while the
question was being put, and then replied:
Il respectfully protest against the state
ment that the investigation was instItut-
ed for the purpose of having the men deny
the charges 1t Is not the truth.
Raines requested that the postmaster
general be permitted to proceed with the
statement he had prepared, but Boatner
insisted that the committee wanted light
upon the point he suggested. 1t wished
to know why the postmaster
generals department had ignored the
recommendations of the commission and
accepted the statements of the men, made
in generating themselves, as having
greater weight than the statements they
made exculpating themselves.
The postmaster general quietly remarked
that he had no information on the subject
that he was not willing and anxious to
lay before the committee, but denied the
truth of the statement that any attempt
was made TO shield the men or any unusal
course pursued.

ROYAL NOMENCLATURE.
Queer Custom of the Reigning Family of
Denmark.

The crown prince Of Denmark furnishes
curious example of the nomenclature
practiced by royal families The rule in
Turkey was that Amurath should succeed
Amurath, and in England that George
should succeed, or Henry should follow
Henry.
In Denmark, however, the rule has long
been that Frederick should succeed Chris
tian and Christian, Frederick. This Is
confusing enough to write lntelligibiy,
bdt 1t is still worse in practice.
Nearly every Danish king is named
Christian or Frederick, and so the diff
Guilty Of distinguishing between them j.
great. The present king is Christian TX.
He was the son of Frederick VII. He
will be succeeded by Frederick VIII,
VINO will IN turn be followed by Chris
tian X.
The mere fact that the present crown
prince is known as Frederick and that II
be died before his father be would be sue
ceeded in his rights by his son, Prince
Christian, IS nothing az all.
All the sons of the royal house of
Denmark are christoned both Christian
and Frederick, and therefore, from the
point OF view of mere nomenclature, 1t
does not matter which Of the m succeeds
to the crown. The next two lots in
crowned heads at Cooannagen would be
labeled Frederick VIII and Christian \
under any circumstances.
In many German princeIy families
every male who is born is christened by
the hereditary name. The result of this
peculiar custom may be illustrated oy
the fact that in the reigning house Of
Reuss the Henrys run up to Henry Xxx.
