HTTSBDEG'S BUILDINGS TOO COSTLT. those Kow Golm Up on Wood Street Are Jlore Hasslre Than Xecessary. rOOBBESPOJfDElfCI OP TOT EIErATCH.1 Chicago, June 12. The office buildings f Chicago, which form such a striking feature in the city's make-up, are for the most part built by etock companies, organ ized for that special purpose, and are a very favorite investment for the surplus wealth of that large class of Chicagoans who are satisfied with moderate returns but want almost absolute safety. They are rapidly on the increase. Half a dozen new ones hare been thrown upon the market within the past year, others are nearing completion, still others are just being started, and many more are in the "projected" stage. The last three years may be said to have revolutionized the method of building them, and every new one pushes a story or two nearer heaven than its predecessor. Thus the Rookery built two years ago at Lasalle and Adams street, with its 11 stories, stood head and shoulders above the tall buildings in its immediate neighborhood and looked down with pitiful disdain on the Grand Pacific Hotel adjoining. The Tacoma, on Lasalle and Madison streets, a conple of blocks furthernorth, built a year later, piled on two stories more, and with its 19 floors and a basement, seemed to realize the ut most renting space that could be got ont of a given piece of land. Then the new Board of Trade building, abont 100 feet further north, on Lasalle and 'Washington streets, went theTacomaonebetter, and its 14 stories are just in the hands of its tenants. Meanwhile, the Auditorium, down on the lake front, had run its tower up to the heicht of 17 stories, filled with offices to the very top, and a small eighteenth story was fitted uo on the roof for the use of the United States Signal Service. If a granite structure can be built 17 stories high, surely a steel-beam-and-terra-cotta building should be no less reasoned, the capitalists controll ing a choice piece ot ground facing the post office ou Jackson street, and ground has just been broken for a 17-story building at that point Gazing on these phenomenal structures, the tallest building of Pittsburg and Phila delphia seem tame and commonplace and older buildings in which Chicago took the greatest pride only fire years ago, are already regarded as old-fashioned and poor. "Where the ten dency to climb skyward will find its ulti mate limit, nobody seems able to tell. The architects hare placed it at 16 stories, but the adoption of lighter and stronger mate rials, year by year, have spoiled their cal culations, and some of them say it is more than possible that the 28-story bnilding projected by a St. Paul member of their profession will yet exist in reality. One effect of all this building has been to increase enormously the number of office rooms placed upon the mar ket This year, for instance, the supply has been increased by at least 2,000 offices, and it is a remarkable evidence of Chicago's wonderful growth that as fast a they are built the new office buildings are eagerly absorbed. THE BENTS THE SAME. The rents do not come down. On the contrary, they advance, and still the army of tenants keeps on the increase. The older buildings, which they have in tact deserted, quickly fill up without any office rent sacri fice of revenue; indeed, some of them, in the face of the advent of their rivals, are actually yielding greater returns than ever before. There is a sort of combination or trust among the capitalists controlling the principal new buildings, and some ot them hare established a standard rate of t2 per square foot per annum, but nobody accuses the trust of keeping up the rates. It is the enormous and increasing demand with which the supply hardly keeps pace. About ten years ago some partners who were about to build, employed a well-known real estate man to make a calculation of the cumber of new offices that would be re quired, and figuring np from the number of omce men shown by the city directory for a few years previous, and comparing it with the increase in population, he came to tne conclusion that at least 640 additional rooms would be needed every year if the popula tion kept on increasing as it had been doing. The increase of population has been vastly greater and the number of "office men" has kept on increasing even taster than the population, so that the 1,000 or 1,200 new offices which have come into the field during the past three or four years have been barely sufficient to satisfy them. There is a constant increase in the number of professional men, but it is small in com parison with the increase in the number of Eastern and foreign manufacturers and manufacturers' agents who hare flocked to Chicago and established branch offices here in order to capture their share of the great trade of the West. To such men rent is a Email item and elegance and convenience a Tery important one. Thus the projectors of the most recent office buildings hare been quick to observe and have made their buildings reritablepalacesof trade, with walls and staircases of the finest Italian marble, floors of mosaic work, the like of which has never before been seen in this country with the finest hard-wood finish and all the con veniences of swift, silent elevators, perfect light, perfect ventilation, and a thousand and one other things that the builder's art could suggest. THE PBOFIT IK IT. As investments it is hard to tell just what they yieldjbut the average seems to be about 8 per'cent per year on the capital actually invested. The stock companies which erect these buildings in very few instances own the land on which they are built. TJsusally they hold the land under lease for a period ranging from 60 to 99 years, some- times with a fixed and permanent rent lor the whole period and sometimes with a re valuation every fire or ten years. On the , wording of the lease greatly depends the success of 'the building enterprise, and many of these companies which secured "straight" leases, without revaluation, 10 or IS years ago, consider themselves in the greatest luck imaginable. The Chicago Opera House Company was until very recently considered as the most'' Euccessful of all Chicago office bnild ing enterprises. Pour men who acted as promoters and put its stock noon the market are said to hare di vided 5100,000 among them, but they made a Jease with reraluations every fire years, and the trround rent has been increased so much by the recent valuation that a large ehare of the enormous profit that once went to the stockholder now goes to the owners of the land. The Owings building, a . chimney-lite structure at Dearborn and Adams street, rests upon a piece of ground about 46x75 ieet, which costs $16,000 a year ground rent. A two-story frame saloon oc cupied that corner for years. Capitalists coTeted it, but thought it was impossible to pnt anything on that limited space that would pay with such a lease. Tinally Mr. F. P. Owings took it, pnt $10,000 into a ionndation, built an odd-look- - ing Jt-norr ouuaing witn two great gable I rents, and an odd-looking spire sand-J wiched in between, at an actual cost of per haps 5200,000. and making it headquarters for a eertain class of iron and coal men, has sneceeded in filling up a rent roll of, it is claimed, $64,000 a year. This is one of the few buildings of its class not owned by a stock company.. THE PBESE1TT TENDENCY. The tendency just now seems to be to build no more buildings of the solid and massire character ot the Auditorium and the two bank buildings which are nearing completion at vyooa street and Sixth aTenne, Pittsburg. They we regarded as unnecessarily heavy and expensive. It costs too much to build a suitable foundation for them ana the material costs too much. An eqn.al'T elegant and equally durable, and for lignt business purposes, a better bnilding in every respect is obtained by using structural iron, terra cotta and brick. Of that style of building the Tacoma in this city is typical. It rests upon steel col umns, which rest upon a foundation of rail road iron and cement and its steel beams and columns are so thoroughly braced and so arranged that the interior of the building would stand without its walls. It is not de pendent upon its walls for support. Conse quently the walls are not thick and massive, with deep cavern-like recesses lor windows like the Auditorium or the Pittsburg Court House, but they are comparatively light and the greatest possible space is leit tor large plate glass windows, through which the bright sunlight reaches every square foot of interior surface, carrying health and cheer to its hundreds of occupants. All the latest new buildings are projected to a greater or less extent on the same model, the only ex ceptions being those which are designed in part for ocenpations requiring the use of machinery. The Tacoma may be said to be in one sense a Pittsburg building; the structural in it was made at Braddock A CLASS OP PEOMOTEES. In this city the construction of office buildings has given emplovment to a small, but somewhat important class of men who act as "promoters" and whose business is to interest the capitalist and get him to invest his money and generally to carry the build ing scheme into effect. They select a site and lease it, obtain a contractor and arrange terms with him, select the architect and pass judgment on his plans and frequently, after the building has been constructed, they re tain charge of it as renting agents. Their services are usually paid for by about 5 per cent of the capital actually in vested, though in many instances they so manipulate stock as to make it considerably greater, and in not a few instances they hare been paid considerably less.

One Civil Service Commissioner Re proved by the Congressional COMMITTEE OP INVESTIGATION. Lvman wM Gnilty of Great Begilgence, at the Terj Least. THE OTHER MEMBERS ARE ALL RIGHT "Washington, June 13. The House Committee on Beform in the Civil Service, which during the present session of Con gress conducted an investigation into the charges against the Civil Service Commis sion, held a meeting to-day and finally agreed upon the report which will be pre sented to the Honse. It is said that It has been signed by all the members of the com mittee except two Mcssrs.'S tone and Alder son. Chairman Lehlbach, of the committee, will present it in the House at the first op portunity. In concluding its report the committee says: "With regard to the conduct of the Ciril Serrice Commissioners in the matters sub mitted to your committee, we find, first, that Commissioners Bosserelt and Thomp son hate discharged their duties with entire fidelity and integrity: second, that the official conduct of Commissioner Lyman has been character ized by laxitv of discipline in the adminis tration of the affairs of the commission, and is therefore censurable. Your committee will proceed at once to investigate the work ings of the system, and present a subsequent report when said investigation shall have been completed, together with a report ot their conclusion. We submit the following resolution: "Besolved, That a copy of the report and testimony taken before the Select Committee on Beform in the Civil Serrice in the investigation of charges preferred against the United States Ciril Serrice Commission be forwarded to the President" In the body of the report the committee says, respecting the charges against the per sonal actions of the present and former Com missioners, that it examined 24 witnesses. On the first charge, affecting the conduct, retention and promotion of Alexander C. Campbell, the brother-in-law of Commis sioner Lyman, the committee concludes that it was clear that Campbell copied the questions which were furnished to Flynn, who gave instruction to persons desiring to take examinations that the questions were not obsolete, and thnt an investigation properly conducted would hare disclosed the fact If the administration of the ciril service was not to fall into disrepute, Mr. Campbell should have been 'dismissed. His retention indicated gross laxity in discipline as show ins; that the administration of the commis sion was not such at that time as to receive or merit public confidence. His promotion would not seem to have been defensible. It is submitted that if the commission had discharged its duty with proper vigor and regard for the public it would haTe be come manifest that Campbell's retention was not defensible, and it would seem to follow that if his retention was not proper his pro motion was not warranted. The committee cannot accept as satisfactory the answers of Mesirs. Oberly, Lyman and Doyle that they believed that the questions Campbell copied were obsolete. A bepbehensible omission. The facts conrince the committee that the omisson to ascertain the truth was as repre hensible as to bare disregarded it after it had been ascertained, and it is little less culpable, and whether they failed through indifference or partiality to learn the facts, or knowing them, failed to take &uch action as the public serrice obviously demanded, is not a matter of great consequence. The neglect of the duty in either case is con demned. The committee does not share the view that Commissioners Roosevelt and Thomp son are deserving of censure for not having taken action in the Campbell case. On the contrary, there is nothing in their conduct to challenge criticism. When their atten tion was called to the matter by newspaper reports there was a concurrence of statement to tbem that the matter had been fully in vestigated and Sir. Campbell punished", and they did not take any further action in the matter, and in that we think they were thoroughly j ustified. Belatire to the promotion of E. B. Bailey to the position of stenographer, and to the appointment of Thomas Mitchell, of Con necticut, to a position in the Pension office, the committee find that the action of the commission in both these cases was not con trary to the law and rules of the commission, and'in no way are they censurable. THE MILWAUKEE CASE. Bespecting the course of the commission in the case of Shidy; the employe in the Mil waukee postoffice who was discharged by the postmaster for exposing frauds, the com mittee says that it was apparent to the com mission that Shidy was being punished for disclosing the truth, and they felt it their duty to aid him by their influence in secur ing" employment, and thereupon recom mended him for appointment in the census office, and he was appointed. The conduct of the commissioners in this case is not exceptional, nor does it tend to the demoralization of the service. The com mittee is unable to find anything to criticise in that behalf. The commissioners did nothing in their official capacity to give or secure Shidy employment But as indi viduals, in view of his efforts so aid them, they recommended his employment to Mr. Porter, who gave him a clerkship. It is proper-to say that the inrestigation ot the alleged irregularities in the Milwaukee postoffice conducted by Doyle and Webster disclosed an utter disregard of the ciril service law in this office. The failure to submit the result of that inrestigation to the President, indicates either a disinclina tion to discharge an obvious duty, or a (ear that such a report would subject the com missioner to censure. If the former, it argues unfitness for the position; if the lat ter it shows the administration of the com mission to have been unworthy of public confidence. On the reorganization of the commission by the appointment of Messrs. Boosevelt and Thompson, the inrestigation into the abuses and irregularities in the Milwaukee postoffice was had at once and was thorough. It is learned that Mr. Campbell, who is re ferred to in the first part of the report of the committee, has submitted his resignation as a clerk to the Ciril Serrice Commission, to take effect in two weeks.

PITTSBURG" DISPATCH, HAD A LITTLE SCHEME. An Elderlr Man's Plan to Secure Panda From Liquor Dealers A Temporary Home for Inebriates That He Proposed to Establish. Messrs. Bonistalli & Bisi, the wholesale liqnor dealers in the Diamond, had a curi ous experience yesterday morning. Mr. Ernest Bisi happened to be in the store when a dapper gentleman entered and in troduced himself by a jaw-breaking German name which Mr. Bisi cannot now recall. The visitor was elderlr, wore gray whiskers, of the English waiter pattern, and light gray clothes to match. He informed Mr. Bisi that he had a little plan to unfold, and being accorded permission, proceeded to un fold it The idea was that the Bonistalli firm should subscribe f 50 or thereabouts toward the erection of a temporary home for fashionable inebriates, and the endowment of a force of prirate detectires for the bene fit of these gentry. The house was to con tain some scores of bedrooms for tne recep tion of gentlemen who became too in toxicated to go home without falling into the clutches of the police. One of the de tectlre corps was to be attached to each of the ultra-fashionable hotels, bars, saloons and speak-casies. When they were told that a person of note had looked upon the wine too frequently, they were gently but firmly to coax him into a cab and convey him to the "Inebriates Home," where a bed awaited him, with plenty of soda water on the following morning. Mr. Bisi's visitor told his hearer that the plan wonld benefit wholesalers, and, indeed, that all liquor dealers onght to join it He also said that several well known in the business had already entrusted him with money for the carrying out of the plan. Sereral big business men, who occasionally had gotten intoxicated in the past and ex pected to do so in the fntnre, were alleged to be in the concern. After listening to all of the ristor's scheme Mr. Bisi requested time in which to consult his partner, Mr. Bonistalli. The man seemed disappointed, but went away, promising to return about noon to-day and warning Mr. Bisi to tell no one of his plan. Mr. Bisi, howerer, thinks that a little pub licity will not injure the plan. THE FIFTH BECITAL. An Interesting; Programme for Carnegie Hall This Afternooa.

Jame McCusker, the conductor on the Citizens' Traction line, who eloped with Miss Mollie Smith, of Lawrenceville, re turned yesterday. He was married at War ren, O., yesterday morning by a priest, and secured a license at the same town. Mr. McCusker was seen last night, and denied that he was refused a license at Yonngstown on account of the age of Miss Smith, for the reason that no application for a marriage license was made. He denied also the pub lished statement that Miss .Smith had run away from her guardian, Philip J. Jacobus, of Thirty-eighth and Butler streets, four times. The objection of the girl's guardian to the match, he said, was due to religious scruples, she being a Protestant and he a Catholic.
