The only congressional callers al Jhe

Executive Clerk Pruden. who has been
on a. visit to Philadelphia, has return

bv another rumor this morning. that the
President had issued an order placing the
whole service under the sheltering wing
of the civil service When asked Phi
Vate Secretary Thurber about the mat
ter. ne replied that mo such order had
been issued. and that while it was true
that the President had the matter under
consideration. ne had not yet decided
how much OF the service would be em-
braced in the order.
rho general impression is that mes
geneers. assistant messengers, clerks,
deputv collectors, storekeeper and SCagers
will be Included. and there is some pres
sure being brought TO bear on the Exec
utiye 10 include the chiefs OF division,
collectors, and, In fact, the entire service.
