CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
AN IMPORTANT CHANGE IN ExAMlN-
ATOMS CONTEMPLATED.

Attorney General Garland Tired of Pam

tion-Japan Ratifies the Extradition
Treaty-Items.
WASHINGTON CITY, Aug ;s.-The civil
service commission contemplates another
important change in the system of eNamin
ations Tor admission to the postotiice and
custom house service which will shortly be
formulated and promulgated. 1t will be
made in response TO the desire of the Civil
Service Reform association that the local
boards of examiners for admission to the
postoilice and custom service should be COM
posed OF men who are not themselves in the
civil service This proposed system of in
dependent examiners the commits ,ioners do
not consider practicable, so far as they
are concerned
In the first place, it would require u
change in the civil service act, which pro-
vides that the examiners shall be taken
from the civil service, and in the second
place it would necessitate the creation of
several hundred new officers The COM
missioners think that the proposed change
In the system will effect the same result in
a better way. They propose to have the
local examiners send all the examination
papers directly to the civil service commits
sion hero to DO marked or graded, instead
of marking or grading them themselves, as
at present Thus the marking and grading
will be uniform, and will not be affected by
local influences 1t might not be practicable
to have examination papers sent from the
Pacific coast TO the civil service commits
sion for this purpose, but it will probably
he arranged SO that they can be sent TO a
special board of examiners at San Fran
cisco

reliable indications are to be found in the
increasing demand from foreign investors
in American securities, especially in
bonds of all classes, in the low rate of ex-
change, and in the increasing imports.
Then, too. the extraordinary activity in the
iron trade. and the advancing prices of
steel rails, must not be disregarded, for
this is really one of the most important
factors in the general revival of busiN

give his stock away rather than have any
more connection with the company. The
investigation ordered by the house post
poned this, as he preferred not to take any
step then until the investigation was closed.
Now he WAS ready to give up his stock, and
would deposit it with the court, to 10 can

would also account to the court for all pro
fits he had received and deposit tho money
