CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
Local Examiners TO be Chosen From,
persoua Nnt In fIovornueneaI gnrvioe.

Local Examiners to be Chosen From
Persons Moth Governmental Service.
The civil service commission contem-
plates another important change In the
system Of examinations for admission to
the postofllce and custom house services,
which will shortly be formulated and pro-
mulgated. II will be made in response to
the desire Of the Civil Service Reform
Association that the local boards Of exam
iners for admission TO the postoilice and
customs service should bo composed OF
men who are not themselves In the civil
service. This proposed system OF indepen-
dent examiners the commissioners do not
consider practicable, so far as they are con-
cerned In the first place 1t would require
q change in the civil service act, which
provides that the examiners shall be taken
IRON the civil service, and In the second
place IL would necessitate the creation Of
several hundred new offices. The commits
Bioners think that the proposed change In
the system will effect the same result In
better way. They propose to have the
local examiners send all the examination
papers directly to the civil service commis-
sion here TO be 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. IL might not be practi-
cable TO have examination papers sent from
the Pacific coast TO the civil service COM
mission for this purpose, but 1t will prob
ably be arranged so that they can be sent
to special board Of examiners at San
Eranriepo.

THE MARKETS.
Anxiety in Regard TO the Trunk Limos
Stocks Extremely Dull.

Stocks Extremely Dull.
NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-To-day's stock
market, although recording larger sales
than that Of Saturday, was extremely dull,
especially after the first hour. Although
there is some anxiety in regard to the trunk
line affairs, the feeling as yet has caused
no appreciable movement IN prices, and to-
days market reflects nothing but the op-
crations Of the small cliques now interested
In the market. There was combined
selling OF large number of stocks on the
active list by the room traders, especially
In the grangers and Western Union; but
after the first hour, except in Laokawanna,
the slight fluctuations made had little or no
significance. News received to-day was
not OF character 10 affect prices, and
money was steady at 4 to 6 per cent. A re-
duction OF the sterling exchange rates was
announced late in the day, but had no
effect upon the stock market.
The general stock list showed some slight
Improvement IN prices during the afternoon,
but the market closed heavy at or near the
lowest figures reached.
Money on call is easier, ranging from to
O, last loan at 4, and closing at to 4, Ster-
ling exchange is fairly active 4 wak.
Actual business at 4.Sf4 to 4.82 for 60 day
bills, and 4.S32 to Asa for demand. Posted
rates 4.S21 to 4.S41. Government bonds have
been dull and steady. State bonds have
been quiet and steady.

sEpaw1cK,s MISSION.
Receives his Instructions and Starts on
His Journey.

A. L. Sedgwicb, who has been commits
stoned TO go to Mexico to investigate the
Cutting case, has left for st. Louis en- route
to Mexico His duty will be to investigate
as follows: First. All the evidence, news
paper reports and records from the first
complaint against Cutting down to the ex-
ertions Of the Mexican government that he
should have fair trial, shall corroborate
the ground on which tho demand for Cut
ting's release was peremptorly made.
Second. That the course of Justice, had 1t
not been for the firm and peremptory de-
mand OF the United States, would have
been more arbitrary and oppressive than 1t
was. Third. That the whole line Of prose-.
cution was changed after the position Of
the United States government was emphatl-
cally made known TO the Mexican authori-
ties.
An important object Of the mission will
be to arraign Mexico for repeated and
wanton violation Of friendly relations Of
which the Cutting case is regarded as a
sample,

Heavy Issue of Iand Patents.

During the week just passed there was
ordered to be Issued about 5000 patents for
lands, the titles to which have been favor
ably passed upon by the land office. This
unusual number OF patents is due to the
fact that the work of the board of review
was necessarily behind, and to the fact that
Commissioner Sparks had not definitely de-
cided what policy he would pursue In certain
cases.. Some 2,000 Of the patents Issued
were for Dakota,
