CIVIL SERVICE.
Evidence Before the Committee That
the Present Law Is Not Effective.

Washington, June 19.-The Senate
civil service committee resumed its
hearings to-day. A letter was read
from William B. Prescott, President OF
the International Typographical Union,
in which he stated that the typograph-
ical union was not friendly TO the ap-
plication of the civil service rules to
the government printing office had been
represented. THE union,' he said,
after over a years experience under
civil service rules, is not of opinion that
the peoples interests are being sub
served by their application to the gov
ernment printing office. Therefore it
will exercise its Influence TO secure
their abrogation and have the office
placed upon the same basis as the most
successful private offices. Briefly the
union is of opinion better results would
be attained by making foremen respon-
sible for the quality and quantity of the
output of their respective departments
investing them with authority to employ
help at will and to discharge employees
TO decrease the force, for incompetency,
neglect of duty ,violatioT-of Office rules,
etc"
A joint letter was read from three Of
the auditors Of the treasury department,
Messrs. Youngblood, Timme and An
drews, urging an amendment to the
law permitting auditors to select their
own private secretaries.
Henry a. Castle, auditor of the treas
ury for the postoffice department, ap-
peared in person. Mr. Castle had been
postmaster at st. Paul under the Cleve-
land administration, although he was
an active Republican. He testified that
the law had been faithfully observed
with one exception. Mr.. Castle thought
there was great injustice in promotions
and reductions in the executive depart
ments at Washington. He said he
knew at least $50 cases in his own
bureau where Republicans had been
reduced or dismissed and Democrats
put in their places. He had found that
in Washington the clerks rely more on
political influence to secure promotion
than upon their efficiency.

Eastman held to answer the action OF
another grand jury to be summoned
