HE ARCHITECTS OFFICE
Secretary Gage May Take It Out of thu
Classified Service.
Even If This is Done There VIII Re
an Examination as to Fitness
of Applicants.

Secretary Gage is seriously considering
the advisability of having the Office CT su-
pervising architect of the treasury taken
Out OF the classified civil service. where it
was placed with thousands of other offices
during the last months of the Cleveland
administration. He has an Idea that the
duties OF the office are too technical and
too important to be circumscribed by the
ordinary rules for competitive examina
tons prescribed by the civil service COM
MISSION, and 1t is a question with him
whether the membership of that BODY is
competent to prepare a series of questions
TO properly develop exactly the qualities
essential to the administration of that pe-
cuiiar office. He has not the slightest de-
sire 10 nave the appointment made amen
anie to political influences but he thinks
ti'at the person selected for it should nos
sess certain technical abilities Impossible
"a dscertalnment by laymen under the
regulation processes.
His plan contemplates having tho c,p
oidates for the office examined by q com
mission consisting of the three leading
architects OF the country in any manner
'hey consider best calculated to demon
strate the fitness of each for the peculiar
duties OF the office in question
The matter has not assumed Tangible
Shape as yet, but 1t has been already ten
lauNeiy considered by the Secretary of
the treasury and the civil service com
Ihissloii- Senators Platt, Quay, Penrose
Proctor and others have advocated the re-
ntoNai OF the office from the Jurisdiction
~. 'nt GiVii service commission. but it is
not iikely that they will be entirely salts

GERMANY,S PROTEST,
1t is i'm the Same Lines as That Pre-.
scented to Mr.. Gresham.

The State Department continues to deny
the reports that the German government
has submitted a protest against the tariff
bill, but whether ii has been received or
not, it is known definitely that such pro-
test has peen forwarded by the German
ambassador, Baron Won Thielman, acting
on cable instructions from Berlin. These
instruct tons were received early this week
and the ambassador promptly submitted
the protest.
The protest follows the general lines of
that of August %. 1894, presented by Baron
Saurma, the then German ambassador, 10
Secretary Gresham, respecting disc criminat-
ing sugar duties in the Wilson bill The
essential ground of protest is that in Au-
gust, 1891, Secretary Of State Foster and
the German charge d'affaires, Mr.. Won
Mumm entered into an agreement at Sara
toga, n. Y, providing that importations Of
American pork into Germany should not be
hindered or Disseminated against and that
importationS OF German sugar into the
United States should not be discrimina ted
against. The protest declares that the pro-
posed discriminatory duty on sugar would
be opposed to that agreement and that in
such case Germany would consider the
agreement void throughout and would act
accordingly.
Several of the other foreign representa-
tives to the United States have submitted
representations respecting the tariff bill,
but none of them was quite so strong in
protest as that of Germany.

citation calling for tabulated statements
or the east-bound shipment Of grain and
grain products from Chicago to the Allan
tic seaboard. Although the time fixed for
making such reports by the terms of the
circular expires tomorrow. 1t will prob
ably be the end of the month before all
are in. No disposition has been shown by
any of the railroads not to forward re-
ports. The investigation contemplated by
the circular is based upon complaints
made from time to time of rate cutting
carried on by rebates, drawbacks, etc. The
tabulated statements called for by the
commission require the railroads to give
detailed account, with names and dates.
OF each shipment from January 1 to March
10. from which the commission believe
that any irregularities, rebates, etc. can
be easily traced. AS the law promises
immunity to such as confess violations. it
Is not believed there will be any disposi-
tion to conceal the facts where violations
nave occurred. The reports, however can
be made the basis of prosecutions when
they lead to detections Tot acknowledged.
After all the reports are In a hearing will
be given by the commission. probably at
Chicago the latter part Of May or early in
June.
