Important If True. It Is reported, says
a special to llio New Y'ork Hvcniny 1'vst,
that at tho instigation of tho l'rosldeiit,
a thorough Investigation by Eieeret-Scrvleo
agents has been In progress of llio inethols
of the (ioveiiunent of tlio District of Col
umbia. The delay In making changes In
the local offices is said to bo due to the
l'lceldcnt's desire, first, to ascertain to his
satisfaction bow the peculiar form of gov
ernment in force liero has been adiiiliiistcied,
nml to investigations workings fluancially
and In every other lespeet. Tho results, ft
Is understood, have been ciedltahlo at least
to tho honesty of tho Commissioners to
whom the Important trust lias been con
fided. Outaldo of tho Law. Tlioappolntment
of prlvoto secretaries, confidential clerks
and stenographers Is 0110 of the most serious
of all oilier clvll-scrvlco stumbling blocks.
Tho law and uiles do not extend to theso
classes, and tho temptation to appoint them
Is therefore great, Tho appropriation bills
provide for officials of Iheso classes in nu
ineious Instances, and n conservative view
suggests as the meaning of tills that only
thu stenographers and prlvato secretaiies
thus provided for should bo appointed. A
new official, however, lluds the temptation
sluing to appoint a confidential employe,
whether tho appropriation bills contemplate
such fiction or not, Tho propriety of ap
pointing n second, third or fotirth-clms
clerk without reference to tlio C'ommli-
slou, oil the pica that ho Is to ho n confiden
tial clerk or private secretary Is at least open
to some question, but the examples are un

lowed up in Ihe failure of Grant &

dawned with cloudy mid llirealcnlirr
wcnlhcr. Hardly a brcatii of wind

Morm-suggcstivc clomls liroku ami llio

clear sky. At an early hour yachts
men wcic nstlr making leady to accom
pany lliu crack quartet 011 their way
over lo-dny's course In llio third series
of tlic til'al contests. Scores of while
canvased yachts, steam yachts anil
craft of till descriptions make a pretty
sight in the lower bay, where they
await tliu departure of lliu conlcsliinls
for thuslarllng linu. Hleamboats fiom
this city took down large numbers of
yachtsmen's friends and admirers of
lioth the I'lirltim and l'riscllla to the
lower bay.
The selection of a competitor for the
Qcncsln has now mil rowed down (o
these two ynchls. Yacht talk was ram
pant, nnd "tliu merits of the two bo.ils
were freely and full v discussed. The
victory of the l'riscllla on Saturday In
tenilllei) the Interest lu to-day's coiitu.it.
Thu slock of this yacht lias iceelved
quite u boom, and her admirers contend
that she is, by long odds, Ihe safest
boat lo select, arguing that If well
handled lu cither rough or calm
weather she can outsail her rival. On
Ihe oilier hand, prominent yachtsmen
say thai the j'lirllnii Is the only yaelil
In'tho l.'nlled Stales today that can be
relied on to beat the lmglish yacht. A
gentleman nf prominence lu yachting
circles, stated th.it lie had witnessed both
iccent contest', between the Prlsellla and
Puritan, and was decidedly of tho opinion
that tlic Puritan was tho better I t, and
ho lioiictly believed that lid Intelligent
jaclilfiinin who had seen them race could
come to liny other coucliidon.
"I have no Interest in tho mutter further
than the spltlt which naturally inspires
eleri man to wish nnd hope for the success
ol nis country 111 1111 mailers ny uiir nie.un,
anil I think tlio belter boat should ho se
lected, even though thu Pilscllhi, as I and
others believe, can beat llio (icucdii. I
think no chances should bo taken, as 1 have
no doubt the (leuest.i will prove 11 hard one
to beat." The consensus of opinion Is that
the Puritan will he selected. The (icneda
Is expected to go over the course with the
laclits to-day, but It is believed It she duo
it will only be for the purpoo of studying
tlic coutso and watching tho points of her
piobahly competitor. Shortly after II o'clock
tho tug LucKeiibach, with thu American
Cup Committee on board, and with the two
contestants, left oil Stapleton, L. L, for the
starting point. Tho weather now is clear,
with n slight wind from tlio south.
It has not yet been decided whether this
raeo of to-day will bo the final one or not,
but it Is probable that it will lie, mid tho
committee will then take tho mutter into
consideration and decide which boat to name
to meet tho (Jcnesta. Tho first raco for tlio

American boat must be named at least n
week before that time. The sticceedlngciip
