CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATION.

The Civil Service Commission is arrang-
ing for an examination of candidates for
chief of the statistical bureau OF the
Treasury Department The position is
now held by Mr.. o. P Austin. newspa-

of the literary bureau of the National Re
publican Committee. The examination

principally confined to statistical work.
One feature of the examination however,
which is likely to disappoint a great many
of the candidates is that which viii allow
20 per cent on experience" This will be
a very important factor in the examina-
ton.
1t is understood that Mr. Worthington,
late chief of the bureau. will not take the
examination. owing principally TO the fact
that he is actively engaged in the prepara-
ton of some statistical work for the State
of Massachusetts. In view of this fact.
the friends of Mr.. Austin, who is gener-
ally recognized as one OF the most capa-
BILE statistical writers and compiiers in the
