Explanation by President Milliken OF tho
state civil Service Commission.

To THE EDITOR OF THR Sun Sir: it has
lust come to my attention that in reporting
the hearing given by the State Civil Service
Commission In New York last week The SuN
represented me as saying that IF the secre-
tary Of the Civil Service Commission had ex-
amined the charges as presented in the frat
instance there wouldn't have been any in
vestigation at ALL" That is not what said,
and it conveys an erroneous impression as to
the result of tho hearing.
What did say along that limo was in the
course OF a private conversation following
adjournment. and was to the effect that had
the secrs tary OF our commission made suoh
an examination as he is now directed to do
consideration OF somS OF the matters In
the presentlnsnt Of the Civil Service Reform
Association would have been avoided
In several cases thus brought to Its atten.
ton the state commission was glad to learn
that it needed only such light as an examina-
ton by its agents would have afforded to
show that the municipal authorities were not
Justly open to censure. Its president would
hardly have been justified at that stage Of the
inquiry. however. in handing down so oon-
elusive verdict as that reported. He GER
tainly did not do 40.

Vienna has suddenly become the most
extensive city In continental Europe, SEQ
ond in size only to Greater London. This
has been done by invading the territory on
tho left bank Of the Danube, where the
municipality has had only slight foothold.
A number Of villages and a large amount
Of farming lands have thus been brought
within the city limits. The added territory
Ii about half % large a. the city was before
this annexation. With its new borders
enoiroling 27,l2o hectares. Vienna il creep
ing up on Greater London whose area is
3O,2ls hectares.
Some American cities have been regarded
as especially promo to enlarge their bound
aries sufficiently to meet the requirements
of far distant future; but in proportion
to growth of population. Vienna has prob
ably beaten them all in her territorial an
nexstions of the past century. Al houses
have been built along the roads over which
farmers haul their produce to market, the
city limits have been extended from time to
time 10 include the new lines of buildings.
But Visnna's great area is a very large fit
for the population. The city added only
OF $50 persons to the number Of its inhabi-
tants by the latest enlargement Of its terri
tory; and though it Is spread over more
ground than Berlin and Paris, both those
cities are more populous.

even in money alone. There have been large

The aggregate OF the yearly increases in the
islands commerce with the United States,
since 1898, is nearly SIS. 900, 900.

from Porto Rico to the United States never
went beyond the 1874 900 pesoa call 1t dol

average for the seven American years, In

H,O79. 900 each year to Porto Rico.
On the same comparison OF Spanish and
