BELOW THE STANDARD.
Railway Mail Service Applicants Must
Meet Physical Requirements.

Will SerNhce AppilcuntS MUST
Meet Physical Requirements.
One Of the requirements for the railway
mail service is that applicants shall be not
less than five feet four inches in height and
10 pounds in weight. Every applicant Is
required to undergo a physical examinati ton
by physician, who is required. among 9TH
er things, to measure and weigh the appli-
cant. Recently. the commission has adopt
ed the practice of verifying the statements
OF the physicians by tests applied at the
time of the scholastic examinat ton. At In
dianapolis, Ind, recently, out of a class of
seventy competitors for the railway mail
service, seven were found to be under the
requirements. either for height or weight or
both; and at Boston, Mass, out of a class
of sixty-four, there were also seven found to
be below the sta ndard.
The commission promptly Cancelled their
eXamir atoms, and they will be debarred
from certification for appointment The re-
quiren, ent as to the height and weight was
deemed by the railway mail authorities to
be necessary, in order to keep out of the
service those who are physically incom-
petent for proper discharge of the duties
and the civil service commission Is deter
mined to contribute it's part toward the
maintenance of a high standard of physi-
cal capacity, as well as intellectual attain
ment. 1t Is also determined not to allow
the service to be imposed upon by physical
examinations indiffereEtly made or GER
tifcates which falsify the facts

ANOTHER SILVER SET BACK.
The Mexican International CO-Opera-
tive Plan Comes to Naught.

The Mexican International CO-Opera-
tive Plan Comes to Nnught.
The Mexican government, which originated
glowing scheme for the rehabilitation of
silver as a money metal by a union of all
the nations Of the western hemisphere with
the great silver-using countries of Asia, has
been obliged to defer, for time at least,
the preliminary steps. 1t was in contem-
plation to gather delegates from these coun-
tries at an international conference, to be
held in the City of Mexico, and 1t was part
of the plan to make 1t uncomfortable for
European nations that persisted in holding
to the single gold standard by negotiating
trade and commercial treaties between the
splendid trade advantages to silver-using
countries.
But all this has fallen through for the
present at least, and the news comes from
Mexico, where President Diaz touched upon
the subject in message to congress- in
which, after describing the reforms he had
inaugurated in the Mexican finances he
says:
faborable augury the slight reaction re-
Gently initiated in favor of the white metal.
1t signifies probability, not far remote,
that the principal cause of our financial
difficulties will disappear.
I'm order to diminish the effects of that
disturbing element, the executive, in the
exercise of its action and it's faculties, has
endeavored to do everything tending to a
realization Of such result, and, at the COM
mencement of the current year, took the
initiative n the matter of an international
conference to meet in this city (Mexico),
and to be participated in by all the ma
tions of the American continent and the
leading nations of Asia, all interested in
the future of silver. Unfortunately, how
ever, the plan thus made had to be de-
ferred. the bostilities between two of the
Iations most deeply interested China and
JAPAN having meanwhile supervened."

weather bureau to special study of their
characteristics and habits. 1t is further
stated that 'the almost absolutely accurate
forecasts made Of the character and move
ments of destructive disturbances of this

of incalculable value to individuals and
representatives of marine ard coast in
terests. who profited by the ample and
timely warnings which were widely dis
tributed by telegraph throughout the

sion of daily warnings sent out by the
weather bureau. Storm signals were hoist
ed at all the stations, special warnings
were sent to postmasters, and vessels were

c. 4. CONVENTION.
VIII Meet I'm Boston Next Year Instead
of i'm San Francisco.

The International Christian Endeavor
convention of 1895 will be held in Boston.
For over a year it has been the intention
of the trustees of the united society to hold
this convention in San Francisco, but upon
the condition that satisfactory rates be
furnished by the railroads. These rates
have not been offered. and the trustees
have been compelled to look elsewhere.
Several cities offered to entertain the con-
vention, but Boston seemed to be the best
place. This decision is very satisfactory to
Endeavorers here. A number of the lead
ers have been seen, and it Is the universal
opinion that the holding of the convention
in Boston will be far enough away not TO
interfere In any degree with the attendance
on the convention here in 90. and will at
the same time give local Endeavorers a
good opportunity to attend the convention
Of next year. Boston Is the headquarters of
the United Society of Christian Endeavor,
and the Golden Rule. the organ of the inter-
national societies of Christian Endeavor, is
published there.

A JAIL APPOINTMENT.
Why One Applicant Was Selected In
stead of Another.

Thos. ]. Mitchell was today appointed a
guard at the District Jail. The appointment
of Mr.. Mitchell came as a matter of some
surprise to those about the city hall, as it
had been generally understood there for
some time that Warden Leonard had de-
termined to appoint Chas. H. Doing to the
place. Mr. Doing was a deputy United
States marshal during Marshal Ramsdells
term. but was among those removed by
Marshal Wilson when the latter succeeded
TO the office. Mr.. Doing was also a deputy
marshal under Marshal Henry, 1852. and is
the man from whom Capt. H. w. Howgate
made his memorable escape I'm April, 1852
The capture of Howgate in New York on
Thursday, it is understood, caused Warden
Leonard to reconsider Mr.. Doing's appoint
nent as jail guard, and it is now said that
Capt HowSate will not be welcomed to
jail by the man who permitted him to
escape twelve years ago.
