His policy is outlined in an interview

every effort to increase the accuracy OF

competency, and every recommendation
to me will be based on civil service prfn-
cfp!es The service is now in its emory-
onic state. and the general application OF
practical principles will tend toward q
material improvement. We cannot pre-

casts should be made of severe storms.

changes at least twelve hours In advance
and one such forecast pays sometimes
more than the actual entire cost OF the

Convention of Commercial Travellers.

san Antonio. Tex, June S.-The Trav-
elers Protective Association of America,
which was organized at Denver on June
J. 1880. is holding its sixth annual conVen-
ton here. IL has had a remarkably rapid
growth in the last two years. beginning
with a membership OF 3.a45 June /. lSa3.
reaching T.U12 June !. 1894. and closing
with lG,6oo June l, 1Sy5.
From the report OF its national presi.
dent, John y. Lee. IL il shown that the
organization secured an amendment dur
ing the year just past to the interstate
commerce act. permitting railroads TO is
ste interchangeable mileage and 10 give
extra privileges as to free baggage with
such tickets, and that through its acci-
dent insurance department more than
Ss5 go for indemnity claims have been
paid in which six deaths losses were IN
Cluded
The total expense Of conducting the as
sociation was only about 10 per cent.
more than last year. though the average
membership has been almost doubled.
The per capita for expense fund collected
and now allowed by the constitution is
81 per average membership, but only SLV
was expended. being a saving of $l06 per
capita as compared with last year and
s174 as compared with the previous year.
Nearly s., 900 was saved as surplus this
year from the expense fund.
Indemnities paid during the year end
ing June 1895, were much larger than for
any previous year in the association 5
history. Most fraternal organizations
compute their expense OF conducting the
business of their associations upon the
greatest usually the closing, member
ship. This method is inaccurate and mis-
leading But for the purposes OF com
parison the total expense of about Sl5,-
81 when divided by the closing member
ship in good standing shows the per cap
ita so computed Of expense is only La
per member: whereas. other excellent as
sociations claiming 10 be the cheapest in
the country. but which do nothing be-
yond insurance, show an expense ac-
count of !. So and t42ia per capita.
Two new state divisions have ht Ell ADDED
during the year-Florida treorganized),
and North Carolina. Twenty-eight new
posts have been organized, while three
posts have lapsed, leaving the associa-
ton with organizations In ninety-eight OF
the principal cities of the United States.
The entire expense of promoting the In
crease Of membership was this year So,
1884. resulting In securing a few more
than 5000 applications. Last year the
same fund was charged with $4,f1i.75, re-
sulting in securing only 4.9oo new applica-
tons
