Complain of Cabinet Officers.

Washington, April 20. —The three civil-service commissioners called in a body on the president and entered a protest against the action of the different cabinet officers in removing men from office who were presumed to be protected by the civil-service law. They protested particularly against the removal of Chief Clerk Rennick of the state department. They informed the president that the removal of persons in the classified service was a violation of the civil-service law.
