prepared by the State Civil Service Comm ission

ever tho Governor says, il the enactment of
provisions which will come as near as possible
to preventing the employment in the State
service OF labOrGrs to do clerical work.
The Governor says he went over the new
rules as carefully as possible. The only doubts
he had about them were in reference to the
provisions affecting promotions, and he made
certain amendments to the rules to carry out
his ideas. He announced that he did not think
written examinations the best test as to pro-
motions He believes that to secure from the
head Of the department the record of man Is
n much better test as to the fitness OF appli-

the RaiIs-A Good Showing in the
Grangers-Sugar Refining Strong.

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-This morning S
stock market opened moderately active and
showing very limited and irregular price
changes from Saturdays final figures. Some
encouragement was derived from the fact
that the American quarter of the stock
showed smart advances, although other di-
visions Of that market had somewhat sag
ging tendency. Later in the day, however,
recovery in English consols exercised a
good effect. There was little change in the
general local situation from that prevail
ing last week. No further attention SEEM
ed to be paid to the showing made by the
banks on Saturday, it being recognized that
the greater part Of the money now offering
in the stock exchange market comes from
extra clearing houses.
Brooklyn Rapid Tran.it was again the
cCnsp cuous feature of the market at t. e
opening of business Initial deqlings show
ed a sharp decli:e. followed bv reaction,
which carried the stock well above it's
closing figures of Saturday. The initial
decline was probably based upon the pub
lication Of the report Of experts OF the rail-
road commission in regard to damage
through elcctrolysis to the power employed
in carrying cars across the Brooklyn
Bridge. Manhattan was also temporarily
depressed on the same account Strong
features at the opening were Consolidated
Gas, Sugar Refining, and Southern Pa
cific, and a fair dealing of strength ap-
peared in the granger stocks and in the
other standard isues.

New York Cotton Market,
ADMIRAL DEWEY's RETURN.
He Will Arrive in Washington ut 4
O'Clock This Afternoon.

Admiral Dewey will arrive at Washing
ton this afternoon at about o'clock. He
will be met at the Pennsylvania Railroad
station by Lieutenant Caldwell, one of his
aides, and by Lieutenant Crawford, his
private secretary. The Admiral will be
accompanied by Lieutenant Brumby. AT
the railroad station the party will enter
carriages and will drive to the Hotel Ev
erett, 1880 H Street northwest, where
apartments have been prepared for the re-
ception of the Admiral.
Admiral Dewey, it was thought, would
reach Washington at 1882 this morning on
train No. q, but the train from Boston ar
rived at Jersey City too late to connect
with No. 81, and as Station Master New
shaw put it, The Boston connection is
running special" This is not because Ad-
miral Dewey's private car is attached, but
for the accommodation of the Boston
through passengers. A special train would
have been run from Jersey City even
though Admiral Dewey and party had not
been on board. 1t is believed here that the
ferryboat bearing the through coaches
from Harlem to Jersey City, about twelve
miles, was delayed by fog. The admiral
and his party are travelling in w. K. Van
derbilt's private car.
1t is believed by the railroad people and
by the police that there will be no unusual
crowd at the station when the Admiral
comes in. No additional police have been
detailed for duty there. From the train
shed the Admiral will pass through the
main waiting room and the womens wait
ing room to the B Street exit.
The Admiral will occupy apartments at
the Everett until the house, which it is
proposed to purchase and furnish with the
Dewey Home Fund. shall have been pre-
pared for his occupancy. The Home Fund
Committee will submit to Admiral Dewey
a list of houses which it considers desira-
BILE, and from this list the Admiral may
make his selection.
The Admiral's apartments at the Everett
are on the second floor, and comprise a
parlor, two bedrooms and baths. The bow
window of the parlor looks out into H
Street and side window into Eighteenth
Street. The rooms are plainly, though well
furnished, and good deal of the personal
property of the Admiral, books, pictures,
and souvenirs have been installed.
Miss Rhode Wilder, the housekeeper
who occupied that position when Admiral
Dewey lived at the Everett up to and for
several years prior to his departure to take
command of the Asiatic squadron, is still
at the house. So, too, is George Cox, a
colored waiter. who served Admiral Dewey
with breakfast for several years. A fire.
man at the Everett, George Lucas, was a
sailor on the frigate Wabash, on which
Dewey, as midshipman, made his maiden
cruise in 1883.
