CIVIL SERVICE PLACES.
THE PUBLICATION OF THE LISTS
OF ELIGIBLES.

Why the Commissioners Decided to
Adopt This Course-Difnculty in the
Way Of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. VIII
probably Be Resorted to-A New
Method of Notification Announced.
WASHINGTON. June 2S.-Some weeks ago
the civil service commission decided to here
after make public the lists of elgibles for
appointment to the several branches of the
civil service. The commissioners decided
TO adopt this course in the belief and hope
that it would do away with many of the
abuses which prevailed when the lists were
kept secret, beside giving all persons who
took the examinations an opportunity to
know their relative position on the eligible
lists. Just how to make these lists public
has been the perplexing problem.
TO BE BULLETINED.
In the case of local examinations for
places In the customs and postal service, it
has been finally decided to post the percent
age obtained by each applicant in bulletin
shape in some conspicuous place where the
applicants and all others interested can
have opportunity of copying the percent
ages. The same course will be pursued
NAOh IoSdru 10 bu0 cerGlOcaUlOn OF
eligibles for these offices made to the ap-
pointing power. This method Of making
local eligible lists public, however, can
hardly be applied to lists of eligbles in the
possession of the commission at its head
quarters in this city for the reason that
there are such great number of these
lists.
NEW METHOD.
In view of this circumstance the commits
sion has been compelled to adopt new
method, and will hereafter notify each
candidate for an appointment, of the gem
eral statement of his percentage and stand
ing by mail. The civil service rules pro-
vide that chiefs of divisions who are ex-
empt from the operations of the
civil service law be allowed to
take non-competitive examinations
for position lower than that which they
now occupy. This is done in order that
persons who serve in these excepted places
will not be compelled to abandon the SER
vice when their designations are requested
on changes of administration, but can avail
themselves of the opportunity offered to
take subordinate office.
RoosEvELT's VIEWS.
Commissioner Rooevelt expresses himself
as opposed to tho practice and is strongly
advocating a change in the rules by which
these persons, if they desire to remain in
the service when their designations as chiefs
are demanded, shall be compelled to stand
competitive examination and be assigned
to the eligible list for certiication and ap-
pointment IN the same manner as other ap-
plicantS.

NEWPORT, R. l., June 2S.-The steamer
Bay Queen of the Continental Line and the
steamer Eolus If the WEXFORD Line col
hded this morning just above Gould Island,
five miles up Narragansett bay. The
Bay Queen was on her downward
trip and the Eolus was going up.
A thick fog prevailed. which prevented
either boat from seeing the other. Neither
had much headway on, and yet the collision
was a serious one. They came together
with heavy crash and considerable excite
ment ensued This was allayed somewhat
ON the Queen by the presence of band,
which by its playing restored confidence.
CROWDED WITH PASSENGERS.
The Queen had $50 or 200 passengers on
board, including number of Providence
physicians on their way here for a clam
bake. The Eolus had number of members
of the medical association on board. So
far as known no one was injured on either
boat. The Queen was struck near
the forward gangwaY on the
port side and half Of her paddle
wheel was ripped off. Her crank was also
broken. The Eolus had her side torn away
from the forward part Of the house aft to
the paddle wheel. The tug Nat Sutton of
Providence, which was in the harbor,
heard the signals of the steamers and went
up the bay and took the boats in tow,
bringing them to this city. So far as known
the hullS are all right.

Cardinal Lavigerie characterized as a
Political Agent.
ROME, June 2s.-In speech in the Sem
ate to-day Premier Crispi said he deeply
regretted the conflict between Germany and
Switzerland, but they were compelled to
take notice Of the change in the aims Of the
present political refugees in Switzerland,
from those OF the refugees of former years.
The premier declared that Cardinal Lavi-
gerie was political agent trying TO sup
press Italian influence IN the east. It was
deplorable that Italians should be lured
into giving him money destined to
injure Italy. Referring to the fail
ure of his endeavors TO reconcile
the vatican, Signor Crispi said that the vat
ican now placed its hopes in the revival Of
temporal power through the intervention
OF foreign power and European conflict.
1t would therefore be dangerous and unpa-
triotic to subsidize missionary schools. That
was the plan of ltaly's enemies.

British government TO demand from Portu-
gal the payment of her debt to England of

such sums be applied TO the purchase of the
