CLASH ON CIVIL SERVICE.
Customs Collector at Baltimore Op
poses an Order and Is Supported
by Secretary Gage.

Baltimore Aug. 2-Colleetor Of Gus
toms William A Stone has bid open
defiance TO the civil service commits
sion, and in this he is being backed up
by Secretary Of the Treasury Gage.
During MI Stones absence from the
city Friday Special Deputy Collector of
Customs A. Lincoln Dryden and Cash
ker of Customs Charles S. MontelI were
notified by the commission that they
would have to undergo examination.
The local board was supplied with the
questions and the officials were in
stTucted to appear before them. As
both men had served in their respective
capacities with credit for a period Of
fourteen months the order created con-
siderable surprise.
When Mr.. Stone learned Of what had
taken place he fastened to Washing
ton to lay the matter before Secretary
Gage. The latter was astOnished when
ne learned of the circumstances, saying
at had all been done without his knOWl-
edge or consent. Collector Stone told
of his determination not to permit the
two officials to take the examination,
and the secretary gave this course his
fullest approval.
Should the civil service commission
call Mr.. Stone to account for his action
he viii refer them to the secretary Of
the treasury, under whose instructions
ne is acting.
Collector Tawes of CrisfieId. Nd. who
was also notified to take the exau1ina-
ton, has adopted q similar course. and
the outcome Of both cases is being look
ed forward to with interest.
