Washington, Feb. 1.-THE annual re-
port of the civil service commission for
the year ended June 80, 1897, has been pre-
sented to the president. 1t begins with a
statement to show that after an expert

Considering the few changes in the SER
vice under the merit system and the
wholesale removals under the patronage
system, the economy and efficiency Of the
one stand in striking contrast 10 the eX-
travagance and inefficiency of the other.
Since 1888 (the year of the organization
of the commission), the unclassified posi-
tinns which have been subject TO pOliti-
cal control have increased in number 81
per cent and in cost 40 per cent, while the
classified positions subject to examina-
tions have remained at a standstill. The

before the race as to the result For
weeks past the betting has been iu

offered being greater than for several
years past becau-e of the splendid
form the Oxfords showed in their train
