G'rom Sundays Second EdItion-)


WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The Senate COM
mittee on civil service and retrencnment to-
day resumed its hearings. Will II. Lyons,
or Bellevue. KY, secretary to Senator De-
Doe, testified that he had been a gauger for
twenty months. He resigned the office He
said he had taken the examination provided
failed, because, he said, the examination
was thoroughly Impractical and of no prop
err application to the service of gauger.
Jonn X. Proctor. president of the Civil
service Commission, maintained that deputy
collectors in the international revenue de-
partment ought to be kept in the classified
service. He said that collectors had said
to him that under the old system there had
been forced on them incompetent men as
deputies and, Mr.. Proctor argued, therefore,
that the present status of deputy collectors
in the classified service ought not to be dis
turbed by the enactments of legislation
modifying the present law
Replying to questions by Mr.. Lodge re-
lating generally to the civil service, Mr..
Proctor said that the average age of APP
plicantS appointed in the classified service
was between twenty-eight and twenty-nine
years.
BY Mr.. Lodges examination some inter
eStlng hgureS were brought out as to the
extension of the classified service since
1883. They showed that emitting the nom
political branches, 6O,Sl9 persons had, since
by executive action. To 1887 the rules
were applied during the Republican admin
istrations and 1882 during Democratic ad-
mlnlstrations. Through the natural growtt
of the service Is, 437 persons had come into
the service. BY natural growth nonpoliti-
cal lnclusions and executive extension, the
total classified service is brought to 81, 09S.
Nominally by executive action during Mr..
Cleveland's second term ,76S positions were
classified, and nominally by the orders of
May 6. 1896 1882 positions were covered
into the service. These later included, how
ever, the navy yard employees, the nom
political branches and those examined nom
comparatively for positions in the Indian
service leaving the number of political po-
sitions included in the order of May 6, 1896,

Cromer Captures the county.

MUNCIE, Ind. Jan. 29.-The Delaware
county Republican committee met to-day
and organized by electing David A. Lam
bert chairman, Squire Isaac II. Gray sec
rotary, Benjamin Shirk assistant and John
w. Taylor treasurer. The primary election
was set for March l. A resolution was
passed directing all candidates for Congress
of this district residing in Delaware county
to submit their names to the voters at the
primary, the one receiving the largest vote
to be permitted to select his own delegates
to the district convention which will name
the successor to Congressman Henry. 1t
was discovered that the resolution was the
fruit of friends of Mayor George w.
Cromer. of this city on the committee, and
they will from this time on work for his
nomination at the district convention. 1t is
generally believed that he will have no OPP
position from Delaware county, and those
who know him best believe that he will be
the most dangerous opposition for
other candidates. The resolution excludes
candidates from the primary ticket who
do not reside in this county. The action
has caused sensation. Delaware county
has always been in the front rank with
Republican majoritieS in a Republican dis
trict. but because of dissensions has never
had a representative in state or national
office.
