WASHINGTON, March 6.-Senators and
representatives are beginning TO feel
the personal impact of the office-seek-
ing crowd, whose advance column has
reached the city, and 1t is the almost
universal testimony that oil evidences
point TO gigantic struggle for place.
A remarkable feature of the situation
is the apparent ignorance displayed
of the operations OF the civil law serv-
ice. Four-ffths of the applications
are said 10 be for places covered
by the classified services and thus out
of the patronage class. The members
of President McKinley's cabinet have,
ever since the papers announced their
choice, been deluged with applications
for office. Mr.. Gage said that he an
ticipated more trouble in dealing with
applications for Office than with mat
ters connected with the treasury policy.
