No settlement OF thr Rate yor Yet

CHICAGO, Nov. 29.-The general managers
Of Missouri river lines held an all forenoon
session again to-day, but reached no settle
ment Of the present passenger rate war. One
Of the chief obstacles at present in the way
of a settlem mt is the demand Of the Chiea-
go & Alton to reduce the passenger tariffs TO
a basis of two cents a mile. Another session
will be held this afternoon.
AT the afternoon session the managers
considered various plans for the adjustment
Of the present thousand mile tickets. The
plan most generally favored was to sell COM
mercial travellers one hundred mile tickets
at full rate of three cents per mile, the tick
cts 10 have a stub, and when these have
been collected to be returned TO the railway
and a rebate paid the holders of one cent
per mile. This would prevent these tickets
from falling into the hands Of scalpers. The
Rock Island, however, did not favor the
plan, and the meeting adjourned until Mon
day without definite action.

Civil Service Examination.
Especial Telegram 10 the GlObe.I

lDpGNiAA " GlODe-l
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-The civil service
commission finds that it is getting a supply
Of clerical material that is somewhat in ex-
cess of the demand. Therefore, it will in
future examinations reduce the number who
pass successfully by being somewhat less
liberal in the marking. The minimum will
not at present be advanced from 65 per cent,
but the markers will be little more
severe in the credits they give. The result
will be TO raise the average capacity Of the
list Of elegibles. The change will make it
easier for persons well qualified for the gov
eminent service to get places, and a little
more difficult for those OF inferior capacity.
The scholastic tests are not severe, and
one does not have to be graduate of Har-
ward, or even recent graduate from
high school, in order TO pass,
but he has TO have some capacity
for thinking and expressing himself. One
Of the regular tests is the writing of a short
letter on q subject named by the examiner.
The subject is generally an easy one, but
knowledge OF it is not required. The in
formation and opinion in the letter do not
count. The sole object is 10 test the appli-
cant's ability 70 express himself. In a
recent examination a very intelligent look
ing young man gave up in despair, and
refused even to attempt the exercise. He
said he never could write letter, and it was
Of no use for him to try. Though marked
zero on that, he might answer other ques-
tons well enough to get an appointment,
but for the future the examiners do not mean
that general average shall save a candidate
who won't even try the difficult intellectual
feat Of writing letter.

In the old Iowa Trunk Line association the
division Of range cattle traffic between the
Burlington, Northwestern, Rock Island, and
st. Paul was in equal allOtinents. SO marked
difference between the new and old appOr-
u1nments may, at first sight, appear
syringe, but the conditions of the two awards
were entirely different. Under the old ar
rangemen' tn traffic OF ouly the Union Pa
cihc was di ded bciw, en- the four lines, and,
having practically equal facilities at Council
Bluffs, they shared aiike. Included in the
present live stock pool, however, is the traffic
OF the Burlington aud Missouri river and the
Sioux City ami Pacific roads. From the fact
that the Burlington owns the former and the
Northwestern the latter these two roads are
given proportions in accordance with the i'm
pOrtance and facilities Of their western ex-
tensions. The Rock Island and St. Paul,
terminating at the Missouri river and having
equal terminal and transporting facilities,
are naturally put upon a similar footing.
These percentages viii operate in the divi-
sion of all east-bOund live stock traffic from
October l, 1884, to January l, 1885.

The OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Talk.

The' Coalltionists had a caucus night
before last-Mr. Grim In the chair. A
southwestern member offered resolution
to permit members to sign the call Tor an
extra session.
Mr.. Grim declined to put the question,
ana stated that he would not preside ever
4 body that would prove untrue to their
pledge.
No action changing their former resolve
was taken.
A Democratic caucus was held in the
Senate chamber yesterday evening. The
hall OF the House has been abandoned un-
der the impression that 1t Is "leaky." A
resolution was offered that members re-
main here as long as 1t is necessary.
After 1t was adopted, they, by close
vote, passed another that there shall be an
extra session il it is found necessary.
Notv ita2tanding the indignation ex-
pressed by Mr.. Grim, it is quite certain
that some OF his fellow-senators are think
ing OF signing-if they have not already
signed d-the call. Three Coalition senators
are now counted upon to support the de-
mand upon the Governor for an extra ses-
sion.
The point is being made that "the regu-
lar session was "eXtended" until April
Sd, and that can extra session " cannot be
convened until that time Is out, no matter
when the two houses may adjourn sine die.
