Tho House Of RomanoH.

The house OF Romanof passed out of
existence with the death of its last
survivor, Empress Elizabeth, daughter
OF Peter the Great, who was succeeded
as ruler of Russin by her nephew,
Peter of Oldenburg, duke OF Holstein-
Gottorp, son OF her younger sister,
Grand Duchess Ann. 1t Is from this
car, who reigned as Peter Ill, that
the whole Of the reigning house Of
Russia are descended, and they are,
therefore, not Romanoffs, but Olden-
burgs.

ASK THE j. S. TO
DRAW COLOR LINE
WHITE DRAuGHTSMEN IN THE
TREASURY DEPARTMENT Pc
Triton coRELYoU TO MAKE
CHANGES.

Washington, March 27.-Protest
has been filed with Secretary Cortel
you by employees Of the supervising
architects office of the treasury
against the employment of negro
iraughtsman in the same room with
the architects. A petition asking for
the transfer or removal of the negro
inumerously signed. has been pre-
scented to Mr.. Cortelyou, and feeling
among some of the draughtsmen on
he subject is so strong that they de.
clare they will resign their positions
rather than work at the same
draughting boards or alongside of the
negro. who has Just heen assigned to
the division in which the plans for all
government buildings are prepared.
The negro, whose name Is William
Cook, was drawn from the eligible
list Of the civil service, having passed
q competitive examination as
draughtsman. No sooner had he be-
gun work in the supervising archi-
ftect's OFF ce than trouble began. The
question was raised az to what par
tictlar draughting board he should
be assigned A young Virginan, upon
learning that the negro was to be
employed in the same room, promptly
announced his intention of resigning
and walked out of the room. Another
young architect vino was assigned 10
design the same building as that
given the negro, protested vigorously
and was given another task.
Soon afterward petition was pre-
pared and circulated In the draught-
Ing room. The pc ition reoited that
the presence of the negro was OBJ
jectionable to the majority of the
workmen in the draughting room
and prayed that he be given employ
ment elsewhere. 1t seems likely that
the question win be presented to
President Roosevelt for decision.
