BESIEGED BY OFFICE.SEEKERS.


The Mayors office was again besieged by
office-seekers yesterday, many of whom made
frantic efforts to invade the Mayors presence at
hours which he has reserved from intrusion OF
that sort In spite Of the opportunities Of the
legion of applicants for places Colonel Strong
maintained an affabe demeanor throughout the
ordeal although he must have wished to kick
many Of them out into the park. He was espe-
ciay amiahe when a delegation of women rep
resenting the Society for the Improvement or the
Pubic hoos called to ask him to appoint
women on the Board of Education. The Mayor
told them that he had already considered the
subject, and had decided to appoint from three to
five women School Commissioners when the time
came. There are twenty-one members or the
School Board.
Commissioner Brookfeld of the Department or
Public Works, found a motley assemblage of
placehunters waiting for him when he reached
his office in Chambers-st yesterday. They kept
the Commissioner and General c. II. T. Coils,
Deputy Commissioner, busy for several hours
yesterday. Both Commissioner Brookheld and
General Coils explained that no appointments
would be made until they had mastered the
routine Of the office and had found out what Kind
Of men were needed for the various places. This
announcement, however had had no effect upon
the crowd which continued to hang around the
department all day When the janitor started to
close up the building at dusk some OF them were
still camping on the stairway and the front
steps They could not be induced to believe that
the day was to end without a distribution OF
berths The Commissioner finds that most OF
the clerkshps in the department are under the
Civil Service regulations. but this is not the
case with the places which pay the best salarles.
General Coils Deputy Commissioner filed MS
bond with the Controller yesterday. In speak
Ing OF the motives which impelled him to under
take this post he said yesterday: i nave ac-
cepted the position Of Deputy Commissioner at
the urgent solicitation Of Mayor Strong and Mr.
Brookhed. In fact, Mr.. Brookfield paid me the
compliment to say that he would not take the
place unless would consent to assist him In the
reorganization Of the department. or course |
had to make some sacrifices to accede to this
proposition, but hope have done 80 In the In
terest Of good government and clean politics. At

I shall give to Mr.. BroOkfeld and the city every
