Interesting Facts Shown by Bureau of Statistics. The forthcoming monthly summary of the bureau of statistics will contain a table cf the imports and exports of mer- chandise for July, 1897, as compared with the same month of 1896, and of the seven months ending July, 1897, as compared with the same pericd of 1896. The total exports during the first seven months of the calendar year 1866 amounted to $50,527,005, while the total for the same period of the current year amounts to $549,943,879, -an increase of nearly $50,000,- 000. ‘This increase is particularly notice- able in the exports of manufactures,which amount to about $25,000,000 more than for the same period last year, or about 2 per cent increase with reference to the total exports. The exports of agricultural prod- ucts have increased from $20,616,794 to $341,790,264, yet the percentage in the total of exports in that line has fallen from 64 per cent to @2 per cent. For the month ef July of this year the tetal exports: were $69,925,770, an increase of almost $4,500,000 over July of last year, which ts encouraging in view of the fact that the last fiscal year was the largest in the history of the country. Agricultura? pfoducts lead the list, amounting td:$40/238,650, as compared with $37,884,769 fo¥ July, 1806, but the percent- age for the two months remains the same— 57 per cent. ‘Manufactures come next, the total for the month being $23,617,834, as comp: with $21,562,599, an increase of 1 per cent. “fhe ‘products of mining have fallen off frém_$2/221,598 from July, 1896, to $1,686,501 in July, 1897. At the end of -the month of July last, goods re! ing ‘tn bond were valued at $52,041,108, le. -the value of goods in the same eer at the end of July of last year was $11,682,040. This change is due in large part to heavy withdrawals for consumption in anticipation of the in- creased rates of' the new tariff act. ‘The imports of gold during July of this year amounted to $938,951, as against $1,- 667,986 for the same month of 1896. The exports of gold for July of this year amounted to $5,462,869, as against $11,931,- 436 for July of last year. For the seven months period ending Suly, 1897, the im- ports of gold amounted to $7,167,085, and for the same period last year $27,612,599. ‘The exporis of gold for the seven period en July of ‘this the months’ SILVERITES’ NOVEL PLAN Three Conventions Will Select Fusion Oandi- dates in Nebraska, Successful Nominees Must Be the Choice of Majority in Two of the Conventions. LINCOLN, Neb., September 2.—The con- ference committee of the populist, silver re- publicans and democratic conventions, after holding a session that lasted until 3 o'clock this morning, and failing to agree upon a ticket, made the following report to the three conventions: “We recommend that the three conventions meet Separately and kallot for judge. All nominations shall be presented to the three conventiong and bal- joting shall continue until one man shall receive a majority of two conventions. Bach ballot shall be announced to each of the other conventions before another ballot is taken. Regents shall be given to the perties which do not secure the judge.” : Adopted by the Democrats. The report was adopted by the democratic convention, but the committee was not dis- charged. The populists adopted the cottage home for their party emblem, the same symbol as that of the populists of Colorado. The silver repubficans adopted the liberty bell with a crack in it. The silver republican’ also adopted the report of the conference re to proceed to ballot f jupreme mo’ o rs judge was laid on the table bythe demo- cratic convention. The silver republicans took one ballot, resulting: Judge C. R. Lamarck O. P, Davis, 52; J, 8. Kirkpat- Early Morning Recess. After several unsuccessful attempts to agree upon a candidate for supreme judge according to the proposition submitted in the report of the conference committee at 2:30 o’clock this morning, the three con- ventions took a recess at 6:30 o'clock and te fered, ‘wit Judge C.

Misinterpretation of the the Questions—Models Sa: ed for Gu Clerks and cther employes of the Treas- ury Department are having difficulty in filling out that part of the bank recently sent around which pertains to their bioz- raphies when called upon to state specifi- cally how they entered the classified ser- vice, and there is much confusicn. A great number of persons think that the term “classified gervice” refers to the old classi- fication under section 163 of the Revised Statutes, when in fact the term refers to Positions embraced within the service classified under civil service rules. With that understanding, it is not difficult to answer the question specifically. Some of the employes think they are called upon to give the names of the members of Con- gress who indorsed them for appointment and promotion. Nothing of the kind is desired, and any information that discloses that fact in the blank will be superfluous, inaccurate and not desired by the Secretary of the Treasury. Some persons were in the service at the time the law weht into effect, some in ex- cepted places and some in places unexcept- ed; some were in positinos not yet included within the classified service; but all posi- tions in the Treasury Départment at the present time, unless they are filled by per- sors nominated by the President for con- firmation by the Senate, or are emploved merely as laborers or workmen, are in the so-called classified service, no matter in what capacity they are serving. Now they must have passed into the classified service by executive action, which took in speciai groups; by the growth of the service, or by the revision of or amendments to ‘the rules. Suggested Forms, In an interview tcday with a Star re- porter, one of the treasury officials, who has charge of the census, suggested the following formulas as specially applying to the majority of cases: “I was a clerk of class 4, $1,800, in the ofhce of the Secretary of the Treasury, division of loans and currency, and was classified, with other persons of my grade, by executive order at the time the civii ser- vice law went into effect, July 16, ISS3. Or, if appointed to an excepted place, or occupying a position excepted by old rule 19 of the first edition of the civil service rules, they should say this: was a chief of division, $2,500, in the office of the Secretary of the Treasury, and was classified, with other persons of iy erade, by executive order when the civil service law went into effect, on July 16, ASSt, but occupied an excepted place, which place was transferred from the excepted list in the classified service to the non- excepted list in that service by the re- vision of the rules of May 6, 1806, Or, if a messenger, assistant me: or watchman, they can sa: enger: “I was a messenger, $840, in the offic: the Secretary of the Treasury, and classified, with other persons of’ my gr: by the order of the President, dated vember 2, 1894.” Or they might state: “I was employed as a laborer in the of- fice of the Secretary of the Treasury, but was performing work which pertained 10 a classified place on the 6th day of May, 1896, and continued to be so employed up to June 10, 1896, when I was classified by or- der of the President on June 10, 1896, by which order all positions whose occupants were designated as laborers or workmen at the time specified, and were then regularly assigned to work of the same grade as that performed by classified employes, were embraced within the service classified un- der civil service rules.” If the emplcyes will carefully consider the meaning of the question they will have no difficulty in giving a right answer; aad they should remember that an excepted place is a classified place. That is to say, chiefs of divisions, chief clerks, disbursing clerks, confidential clerks, private secre- tarles, principal bookkeepers, bookkeepers, superintendents, operatives in the secret service, deputy controllers, deputy com- missioners and bureau officers (if not presi- dential), executive officers, tellers and cash- iers, were all in excepted places, but in the classified service. The private secretaries of the President and of the cabinet are now in the classi- fied service, but are in positions excepted from examination. Persons who entered the classified serv- ice by reason of certification from the eligible register of the civil service com- missior. could answer as follows: “I_was appointed to a clerkship of class D, $00, in the office of the controlier of the currency, after certification by the civil service commission of three eligibles, I being the one chosen.” Persons who entered through the old “back docrs” could answer as follows: “I was appointed to a position that re- quired ‘peculiar qualifications,’ and after a service of two years I was permitted to take a pass examination at the civil serv- ace commission, and was then certified as competent for and appointed to a clerk- ship in the classified service.” Special Qualifications. To the question, “What is your special line of study ur professional work?” the answer may vary, according to the facts in the case. The department is aware of the fact that many persons in its employ ave rare and desirable qualifications; some are fine mathematicians, chemists, metallurgists, civil engineers, draftsmen, architects, bockkeepers, linguists and sta- tisticiens, or they may be by education and study lawyers or physicians, or accom- jished in any of the arts or sciences. The department is often compelled to scarch among its employes for persons who are skilled in certain lines, and if found transfers can be made from unimportant work to positions which require the ap- plication of qualities of mind that are otherwise wasted. For instance, the ques- tion is asked, Why assign a young univer- sity man or woman to the inane work of counting redeemed money, or compel them to take up that as a life work? —_—_—_2-—_<_ The September Sea. 2 ‘Temperature the finest.
