WILBOR'S EMULSION THE CIVIL SERVICE. eal Assessments. The United States civil service commission today made public its ninth report to the Presi- dent. It shows that from July 1, 1891, to June 90, 1892, 3,919 applicants were examined for the departmental service at ington. of whom 20,604 passed and 1,315 failed to pass: for the railway mail service 4,597 were examined, 2,949 passed and 1,648 failed to pass; for the customs service 1,624 were ex- amined, 962 passed and 662 failed to pass; for the postal service 9,162 were exam- ined, 5,541 passed and 3,611 failed to ; for the Indian serviee, 158 were examined, Ti"yassed. nnd 64 failed to pase. ‘The wholo number examined for the five branches of the classified service was 10.460, of whom 12,160 passed and 7,200 failed ‘to pass. Pared with tho previous year this shows Sun increase of $86 in the whole number ex- amined, a decrease in the whole number who | passed ‘of 626 and an increase in the whole humber who failed to pass of 1,012. The whole number appointed in the year covered by this report is as follows: partmental service, 473; customs service, 161; postal service, 2,113; railway mail service, 1,199, and Indian service, 10; total, 8,961, decrease of 1,434 over the previous year. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1892, ?_ Of Fignis | me peried covered by this nepert, the zumber of women appointed in the departmental ser- ¥ice upon competitive examination, excluding those appointed as printer's assistants in the bureau of engraving and printing, was 86, end the number of men appointed was 245, showing the proportion of women to men of & little more than one in three, a very decided increase in the proportion of women to men over the last year. Thero was also a decided increase in ber of women promoted on their efficiency records, and it is shown, says the report, that when women in the public service have a fair and even chance with men they win their full share of the more lucrative and responsible po- sitions. FOLITICAL ASSESSMENTS. Upon the subject of political assesaments the report says: “The commission deems the stand it has taken in reference to political assessments to be of special importance, and perhaps the most noteworthy feature of its work since its last report. During the presidential campaign it made use of every means in ite power to protect government employes from being assessed for political purposes and to procure the punishment of seeking to assese- them in violation of Inw. This is the first .time the civil service commission, in the midst of Presidential campaign, actively in- terfered to prevent the collection of | these assessments, and it believes its action or | ha: 108 3 bli - PURE COD LIVER OIL (Pis.cc. titas they never before tele that they WITH PHOSPHAT!

In the opinion this practice will not be wholly broken up until it is made a penal offense for any person whatsoever to solicit ® political contribution from a govern- employe in any place whatsoever. yt At present the solicitation ofan employe by an influential politician, | standing high in the part to which that em- ploye’s superior belongs, undoubtedly has a certain effect of duress. EXTENSIONS OF THE CLASSIFIED SERVICE. The classified service should be extended as rapidly as practicable to cover every posi- |tion im the public service to which it can appropriately be applied; as, for instance, to clerks and writers in navy- Fards, to almost the entire body of officials in the District of Columbia, to the interual reve: nue service, to custom houses with twenty- yes and to free delivery post The National Letter Carriers’ offices. | Association, acting in its capacity of a branch of the Knights of Labor, have recommended that all free delivery offices be classified. oR EE ©F LOCAL INTEREST. Appropriations Asked For That Will Bene- fit Peo; of the District. The book of estimates of appropriations for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1894, submitted bytthe treasury to Congress yesterday contains a number of items that are of interest to the Dis- and two respectively, are al- in the civil service Heretofore the work of examination tuiled from the executive departments.

Hooker and others J are ‘8 quiet canvass of their in the House in the interest of the proposition. and the opinion prevails that there will be but little difficulty about getting 1 through the House. A POSSIBLE PRIVATE SECRETARY. George F. Parker, who was auditor of the democratic campaign committee during the last campaign, was at the Capitol today. Mr. Parker is talked of as President-elect Cleve- land's private secretary. When asked about the matter by a Sram re- porter he said that all the information he had on the subject was jh the newspapers. Later in the day Mr. culled upon the President, who isan old personal friend, and left this afternoon for New York. TO PROTECT AMERICAN WORKMEN. A Dill “‘to protect American workmen” is the title of a measure introduced in the House to- day by Representative Chipman of Mickigan. According to its previsions no alien who is « non-résident of the United States shall work at any mechanical trade or at any manual labor within the borders of the United States. Ata meeting today of the House committee investigating the administration of the federal election law in New York city it was decided to take no notice whatever of the petition submitted to the House yesterday in bebalf of John I Davenport, in which the latter asks for a hearing at the bar of the House. The petition was sent to the com- mittee in the order, and the above ac- tion was taken after due consideration. Four of the five members of the committee were Present. The committee has decided to call on the Sec- retary of the Treasury and the Attorney Gen. eral for information concerning the number supervisors and deputy employed in the last election to aid in the enforce- ment of the federal election law and the names and addresses of those employed in New York city. “This information will be used by the committee for the purposes of comparison, &e., chairman, will now proceed to draft. REPUBLICAN SENATORS LIKELY. and Wyoming claim that the republicans will elect Senators in all three states, Senator Paddock’s election in Nebraska is said to be all but certain and the election of a republican in Kansas seems probable. The republicans are not anxious to organize the Senate, preferring, as Senator Hale said the other day, that the democrats should have the full power and responsibility, but they are be- coming convinced that the demucrats will not have sufficient strength in the Senate, and they arc planning accordingly. TO INVESTIGATE THE CENSUS OFFICE. Before going into executive session a resolu- tion was cffered by Mr. Vest and briefly dis- cussed by him and Mr. Hale, in reference to the “pernicious activity” of the census bureau in the recent election. “The resolution proposes an investigation and will be called np and acted on tomorrow. HAS NOT SEEN HIS BROTHER. Wm. Henry Harrison Cowles, the Represen- tative of the eighth North Carolina district, who is stopping at the National, is like all other democratic members jubilant over the result of the recent election Represontative Cowles has a brother named Henry Clay Cowles, who is a yablican and is a member of the republican state committee. Representative Cowles eaid last night that he had not seen his brother and he had too much regard for his feelings to write to him. TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE. ‘The bill introduced in the House today by Representative Rayner of Maryland for the better protection of commerce and the gen- eral welfare and for the establishment of a national quarantine is intended to pre- vent the introduction of eontagiousor infectlous diseases into the United tater from foreign countries or from one state into another, and establiches within the Treasury Department a national bureau of health. This bureau is to consist of a sanitary council composed of an executive commission and an ad- visory council. The executive commission is to consist of a commissioner of quarantine, a commiesioner of international sanitation and a commissioner of vital statistics, who shall each receive an annual salary of 000, There shal! be four members of the advisory couneil—the surgeon general of the army, the surgeon general of the navy, the surgeon g eral of the marine service and an officer of the Department of Justice—who shall receive no additional compensation. The bureau shail meet at the time and place idferiqnated by the Secretary of the ‘Treasur: e bureau shall perform all the duties in re spect to quarantine which are now imposed on the Treasury Department. It shall obtain in- formation of the sanitary condition of foreign from which contagious or in- fections lseases may be imported end also weekly reports of the sanitary condition of orts and places in the United States. It shall make an annual report of its operations to the Secretary of the Treasury. It is made unlawful for any merchant ship from any foreign port to enter any port of the United States except under such rules and regulations as may be made under the provisions of this A violation of these rules shall be punithable by a fine not exceeding 1,000, which shall be alien on the vessel. All vessels clearing for any port in the United States shall be required to obtain from the consul at the Port of departure a bill of health in the form P by the bureau of health. This bill of health shail be considered a part of theship’ P*fhe Prosident is authorized to detail officers to carry out the provisions of the bill. The Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to ac- cept, through steps as may be logally necessary, the ‘possession of all international and inter- state quarantine stations and inspection posts.

See DISTRICT IN CONGRESS. THE MATTER OF GARBAGE. The Senate subcommittee, consisting of Sen- ators Hansbrough, Higgins and Harris, which was appointed at the last sessisn of Congress to investigate the health department of the Dis- trict, and whose work it was thought had been ractically completed, has decided to make urther investigations and hear further testimony before making their report. This course was adopted owing to the discussion over the garbage collection during the past summer and the fact that “cholera reached + the United States. Thursday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, the subcommittee will hear the health officer and the District Commissioners.

Postmaster General Wanamaker Thinks ‘One-Cent Postage = Near Possibility. In a few terse sentences the Postmaster Gen- eral in his annual report sums up the and progress of the postal service during | past year. He says $5,000, | gross revenue, the deficit cities supplied with free of tes | tional service; 1,500 new mail rout lished, embracing 8,500 miles of new 3 ocean mail service extended, and pneumstic tube service introduced. It appears that in the last four vears 5,061 new mail routes have been established, travers- ing 29,690 miles; that the number of post offices has grown by over 8,600, the number of money order offices over 8,200, and the number of free delivery offices has almort doubled. “In my report of a year agoT said, and I have now to say, that i-cent letter postage is @ near possibility. One-cent toevery pe in the world is what the nations are com- ing to. There are many who now insist that with the postal deficit removed we should im- mediately reduce letter It must be borne in mind that the English penny stamp is ne less than our 2-cent stamp, and that our letter stamp carries an ounce, while the English penny stamp carries but half an ounce. However, as a 2Qcent stam) ys much more than the cost ‘ndling the letter mail, it is urged that the postage on this class of mail matter should be reduced. The present letter rate pays actually double the cost, and by this over pay serves as & protective rate to the department to cover the under pay from doing an exprers business for periodicals and books and carrying advertising sheets at one cent per pound that in point of fact are nothing more than business circulars that load the mails enormously. All such mail is not only carried Joss of #ix cents a but it interferes materially with the business of the express and railroad companies, which are properly carriers of heavy freight. There is also to be mentioned the large amount of express business put upon the mails by the various departments of the government.” The Postmaster General also advocates a classification of clerks and submits a bill; urges regular pay to substitute carriers and « certain payment to carriers for leaves of ab- son Ivocates the abolition of box rents and Private letter offices; urges the reduction of money order fees, the simplification of the postal notes, so that it can better supply the need of fractional currency, and suggests how applications for money orders can be made easier. BASS IN THE PONDS. ing Result of Their Multiplication Under the Fish Commission’s Care. Last Muy there was placed in one of the ponds used by the fish commission in the Mon- ument grounds (the north pond) fifteen grown specimens of the big-mouth bass, not more than seven or eight of the fish being of the fem- inine gender. Recently that pond was drained, when the fish commission officials were aston- ished to find that {netead of the small family expected there were not less than 87,000 young bass of about four inches in length and prob- bly 500 more averaging half a pound in weight. In other words,” remarked Commissioner Mc- Donald to a Srap reporter yesterday, “we found that we had enough fish to stock 150 most remarkable one, and as the fish is one of the most desirable of food fishes we are highly delighted with our great success.” The big-mouth bass is lighter in color than the black bass and resembles the white perch in appearance. The average weight of an adult is five pounds, and they are not infrequently found to weigh fifteen and twenty pounde, In Virginia they are known as the chub, in North Carolina as iho Welshman and in New York as the Oswego trout. Fish Commissioner MeDonald stated that the propagation of those in the pond at the Monument grounds station bad not cost sented innumerable smaller ones on which they had subsisted. He said that the upper Poto- mac would be well stocked with them, and that it was intended that the streams of Maryland, Virginia, Wost Virginia, Pennsylvania, Dela- ware, New Jersey, New York and possibly Massa- chusetts ehould be also stocked. He stated that the big-mouth bass was almcst as game a feb as, his brother, the black bass, and he anticipated that in acomparatively short time local knights of the rod and line would en- joy almost unlimited sport in landing the big fellows along the shores of the upper Potomac. The river will be stocked ata point near Cabin John bridge first and then at other points further up the stream. Commissioner McDonsld contemplates gtock- ing the upper Potomac with another variety of the baes famijy, the Warmouth bass, a fish which averages about half a pound in’ weight, buta good game little fellow and a delightful pan fish, During the present season 800,000 shad, about four inches in length, have been emptied into the Potomac from the six-acre ond at the Monument grounds station, where ey were propagated. This number is twico that which represents the total catch of shad in the Potomac during the past season. Smee Be The War is Over.
