DIPLOMAT WILL TRY
TO RETAIN HIS PLACE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2G.--Although he
is Republican. Henry p. Fletcher
American minister TO Chile. will not fol-
low the recognized custom OF Offering
his resignation before the Inauguration
Of the new presidept. He takes the
stand that he entered the diplomatic
service as a result of civil service ex-
animation and worked up from a minor
secretaryship.
His determination probably will form
a basis for a test of the permanency of
the civil service as 1t applies to the
diplomatic branch Of the government
service. A number Of American minis
ters, including twelve In Latin -Ameri-
ca and one emassador, Mr.. Rockhill at
Constantinople, have risen from tho
lower grades Of the service in accord
ance with a system of examination and
promotion created by executive order.
Many officials OF the service who assert
that civil service principles have gov
erned their appointments may follow Mr,
Fletcher's example.
