LEONARD LIPPMAN, President
Extension of OWL Service Rules.

The president has extended the
classified civil service so as to include
all free delivery offices of which there
are COL. OF these SO offices are at
present classified. Before the extern
sion of the civil service rules applied
only to those postoffices which had as
many as 80 employees. Now the SER
vice extends to all postoffices where
carriers are employed.
OF 54S Offices brought into the clas-
sifcatioh by this amendment about 81
have IS or more, but less than so en-
2loyees, about 2J0 have 10 but less
than % employees and about 22o hare
'.'Ss han 10 employees.
The civil service commission will
proceed at once with the organization
of boards of examiners at these offices.
The holdings Of examinations and es-
tablishing eligible registers as soon as
eligible registers have been established
at any office rules, will go into effect
at that office. Some considerable time
will necessarily elapse before the rules
will be in actual operation in all these
offices.
a definite statement cannot be made
from the date in the possession of the
commission as TO the number of per-
sons who will be brought within the
classified service by this extention.
But it is presumed to be more than
1000.
The president has also approved an
amendment TO the classification of
that department the employees of the
weather bureau employed elsewhere
than at Washington.
The number of persons affected by
this change of classification is be-
tween 100 and 200. 1t brings in all
the weather observerc 81 various sig-
nal stations thopsh Mt tho country.

A New River Canal.

G. G. Kaufman Of Bayou Le3atre,
Mobile county, says the Fowl river
canal project, by which an inside
water route from Mobile bay into
Mississippi sound will be secured, is
now assured of success. This will
materially lessen the distance by water
between Mobile and New Orleans, ard
furnish practicable aud easy passage
between the two cities for large nav
igation. Mr.. Kaufman states that the
subscriptions necessary to complete
the work have been raised and con-
tract has been made with the Alabama
dredging company to do the work,
which will begin in the next sixty
days. The canal will be a mile in
length, extending from east Fowl
river to west Fowl river, and furnish.
ing the shortest route possible to the
crescent City for the shipment Of
Alabama coal in barges, which will
pc begun upon the completion of the
canal.

The failure of the Chinese Restriction
act has been comically pitiable, main
tains the New York Independent. The
law required that within one year from
the 9th of last May all Chinese laborers
within the United States should take
out registration papers aud furnish
photographs Of themselves for the pur-
poses of Identification. The Internal
Revenue Office issued the forms of ap-
plications for registry and distributed
warning in the Chinese language, en-
seining every Chinaman who wanted to
remain in this country to register and
bring his photograph, Out of 10Y, AIS
Chinese in the United States, according
to the census, just five have registered
and the rest have refused. The law re-
quired that those who refuse shall be sent
back to China. To do it would cost
over SIC, 200, 900, and the appropriation
made TO enforce the bill is only $50. 900.
We imagine that tho law is bound to fall
into state of innocuous desuetude.

A Magnificent Showing.

The Tradesman in its annual for
1898 just published, says that the coal
deposits of the Southern States are
estimated from its returns to underlie
so, $40 square miles of territory.
Southern coal mining was not pros
ecuted extensively until 1880 when
the ontpnt was S,944,2 tons. In
1900 II $40, 2S9 tons were mined and
the output for 1892 is estimated al
19,210,2Q0 tons.

Coke manufacturing in the Sonth
the Tradesman says is of recent ORR
gin, not reaching 100000 tons until
1876. From 1883 steady increase is
shown. In that year 1,0S0,642 tons
of coke were made. In 1890 1884,
1913 tons, and manufacture Of coke
for 1892 IS estimated 4,250,000 tons.

R. G. DUN'S BUSINESS REVIEW
Condition and General Outlook Of The
Prospects Of the Country.

r.. G.. Dun & Co.'s weekly circular
says: The business Of the new year
opens we'll, though there has hardly
been time as yet to get fairly under
way. In some branches of manufac-
lures there is a very conservative feel
/ ing, owing to scantiness of satis-
| factory orders, but in trading branches
| the extraordinary demand creates
general confidence in every part of
the country, and apparently in almost
every branch of business.
The trades are looking forward to a
year of large transactions, but in
financial circles the year opens with
considerable feeling of uncertainty,
owing TO the revival of gold exports,
which will be about 100000 for
/ the current week, and to the doubts
about the action of congress.
The annual reports of the various
branches of trtde come in with fresh
evidences of unsurpassed prosperity
and volume of business in 1892, but
they cast no clear light upon the fu-
ture, which depends in large degree
upon monetary lliltucHCes.
AT southern branches business is
generally quiet, although Atlanta
manufacturers are working full time,
and at New Orleans business is fair
with the supply of money ample.
Cotton is steady and sugar in good
demand.
Circulation decreased in December
So, 1903, 1892, whol]yin gold certificates,
but increased S21, 902, l45 for the
year, in spite of decrease of $780,
900, 900 in gold and certificates, treas
u'y notes having increased $4,000
900.
Industrial reports arc mainly con.
fined to the unprecedented transac-
tons of last year, but in iron weaker
tone is manifested, with reports of
reduced prices for pig by some south
ern concerns. Deliveries of rails for
the past year were but l 300, 900 tons.
The capacity outruns the demand for
finished products, so that the markets
are irregular and weak, though in
structural and sheets large business is
in prospect. The most prosperous
year ever known in textile manufac-
lures leaves the full production of
most of the mills sold for months
ahead, and the new year opens with
great strength in woolens and cottons.
A large demand is seen for black
goods, especially unfinished worsteds,
and the mills are working on spring
orders for cottons. Above all the
monetary uncertainties, the enconr-
aged demand for textile fabrics APP
pear to give an assured future for
some months to manufacturers and
the trade in these branches.

Sheep Industry Of the United States.
One of the most valuable publica-
tons ever issuedIby the government
Is the report upon the sheep industry
of the United States, prepared under
the direction of the secretary of aeri-
culture. 1t treats of the history and
conditions of the industry from the
early settlement of the country down
to the present day, and is handsomely
illustrated. 1t bids fair to rival in
popularity the work of the diseases Of
the horse, published by the departs
ment some time since, and tits for
distribution by the secretary and
through members Of congress.

knowledge of any road possessed by the

The Cars remarkable assertion mad


The Cars remarkable assertion made
syear ago to the effect that there was no
famine in Russia has just received con-
6rmation from most unexpected source,
says the New York Tribune. The Eng
lish can certainly not be taxed with
possessing any particular prejudice in
favor of Russia, which they regard as
their hereditary foe; yet it is the British
Consul at Kieff, Mr.. Smith, who as
sures his Government in the report re-
Gently presented to Parliament that the
great cry Of famine in Russia was gross
exaggeratlon Of facts. He admits that
the crops turned out badly in certain
districts, but asserts that there was
plenty OF grain in other parts of Russia.
The whole scare. we are told, arose
through breakdown OF the railroad
system, the result OF which was that
while people were suffering from want
Of food In the districts where the harvest
had been unfsvorable grain was being
allowed to rot in vast quantities in the
Caucasus. These statements of the Brit.
ish Consul seem to be borne out by Off
