Mr. MuLER's REPUBLICAN DEPUTY.
There has always been more or less
fault-nudmg ON the part OF pdruSdli9
when upou the change OF an adminiStra-
lion, all of the best offices were not de
nvercd over TO the VctOrs. The Deputy
Commissioner of Internal Revenue mas
been bone of contention here Tor some
time and Commissioner Joseph >. miller
has for a long time been the subject OF
more or less good .natGrtd ChaihuE upon
the retention of his Republican deputy.
The deputy i- very exceptional gem
tloman. and for eighteen years has pre-
sided over that deuuiyship, but the par
nsans saw no reason for not hhdihE
good Democrat Tor the place, ana "A rev

as the cause. Through all of this pleas

prince of good fellows, and undoubtedly
one of the most efficient end capable Of
any of the occupants Of THIS Office. and,
IN fact, such a splendid officer did he

Of Professor T. \. Conrad left tonight

Lyons spent last winter in Baltimore,
and was a frequent attendant upon the
social functions here, and has a large
circle Of charming friends among the
leaders Of Washington siciety.
iNLARGEMfNT oF TIE CLASSIFIED SERVICE.
II has been so frequently stated on
good authority that the President has for
some time contemplated placing "A great
er part II not an. of the employees OF The
Internal Revenue Bureau i'm the classi-
fed service, that a publication yesterday
an an afternoon paper that the appoint
Inent of clerks Of the Treasury Depart
Uent had been instructed TO furnish the
civil Service Commission with a list Of
the names of the employees of that
branch of the service excited no sur
prise. 4 visit, however this morning to
Major Kretz the appointment clerk In
question. revealed the fact that the pub
licatiOn was rather premature. as no
steps have as yet been taken In that di-
rection.
FURNISHING a list Of names Of persons
IN the unclassihed service TO the commits
sion" said he lis an every day occur
renee. but as yet no special reference
has been made 20 those In the revenue
service. and as far az 1 know no order 10
that effect has been received by the
Secretary OF the Treasury"
As Major KretZs relations with Secre-
tary Carlisle are known TO be OF a most
confidential nature IL IS fair 60 presume
that the President still has the matter
under consideration.
