Chandler Rejects Civil Service Nominees for Vacancy
Washington secretary Chandler returns approved nominations from the Civil Service Commission after inspecting exam papers, stating none of the four candidates merit filling the vacancy. The decision raises questions about future certifications, with Commissioner Thomas defending the prior process. Hazing at Annapolis Naval Academy is criticized as foolish and dangerous. officials vow to end it, noting past problems at the academy and contrasting with West Point. Fraud investigations target Postoffice Inspector Lanier’s schemes, with several post offices named as overrun by losses and Lanier reportedly fled to South America. The January public debt shows total debt surpassing 1.870 billion, with interest, cash, and various certificates detailed.
