REGULAR TRANSPORT SERVICE.
Semi-MonthIy Trips Between san
Francisco and Maniin started.

Quartermaster General Ludington re-
ceived telegram from San Francisco yes
terday announcing that the transport
Sherman would sail from that port for
Manila tomorrow. She will be the first
vessel 10 sail on the regular schedule
prepared by Col. John b. Bellinger for the
line of Government transports plying be-
tween San Francisco and Manila.
For some time the War Department has
been greatly Handicapped for the lack of
regular transport service between this
country and the Philippines, and Colonel
Belliuger was set to work TO prepare a
schedule for the sailing OF the transports.
He will have the Sherman. Sheridan.
Grant. Logan. Thomas. and Meade for the
present. and later the Sumner, which is
baing overhauled.
The vessels will leave San Francisco
and Manila about the LIST and 18th of each
month.
These transports are the finest yes
sells in the world used for transport
service and can transport about l.. 900
troops with their equipment. They will
be largely used in carrying supplies TO
the army now in the Philippines. AS
there Is frequently occasion for shipping
supplies and men from Eastern points.
Colonel Bellinger will probably arrange
for a monthly transport service via the
Sucz Canal. While the time consumed by
the SueZ route is from fifteen to twenty
days longer than by the Pacific. there is a
big saving in railroad freight bills which
more than compensates for the extra time
consumed In making the trip.

MAJOR THoMPsoN's REPORT.
Efficient work of the Signal Corps
in the Philippines.

Major r. E. Thompson. who has been
in charge of the Signal Corps Of the Army
in the Philippines, has returned to this
city. and yesterday he had a conference
with secretary Root Major Thompson
says the Signal Corps in the Island OF
Lu2on is in excellent condition. The corps
have kept the wires up to the firing line.
and at present, al any point where troops
are stationed. communication can be had
with all the troops on the island The
only time the Signal Corps failed to make
connection between Two bodies of moving
troops was when they were with Ldwton
last fall and the mud was so deep that the
telegraph apparatus could not be carried
forward,
As the mud also stopped Lawton's adj
vance, Major Thompson thinks that the
Signal Corps failure was not so bad. as
it was said in the Army that anything
that could stop Lawton was bad enough
to stop anybody. Major Thompson brought
back with him a small cannon captured
by a party of twenty men of the Signal
Corps under Lieut.. W. II. Stamford. who
is wei Known in this city. The party was
returning to headquarters near Orsni. n
short distance from Manila and was ahead
OF the troops when a band OF one hundred
insurgents was met. Before the enemy
could open fire the Signal Corps men
charged them and put them TO flight, cap
turing a small cannon and a lot Of rifles
The men decided to send the cannon to
General Greedy. and it will be presented
to him by Major Thompson II is the
opinion OF Major Thompson that Aguinaldo
is still on the Island of Luzon. and he
believes he viii be captured by Gen s.
NJ b. Young's troops, who are operating
in northern Luzon.

Examined for Promotion.

An examination has just been completed
at the Treasury Department, by the Board
of Examiners, TO decide the eligibility of
thirteen clerks of that Department for pro-
motion from positions below the grade OF
clerk TO that grade or a higher one, and
for the transfer of certain persons from
the non -apportioned to the apportioned
force. Heretofore these examinations
have been held at the Civil Service Com
mission, and the recent examination was
the first departure from that rule. II is
believed at The Department that young
women are the most eligible applicants for
the positions of paper counters, counters,
expert counters, feeders. separators, money
order assorters. and other positions of a
like character. They have the patience aud
dexterity necessary for such work. and il is
believed by officials at the Treasury De
partment that it will be economical to EN-
ploy them.

and he. as well as the United States Mar
shall, is generally professional man.
THE earning capacity of Judge or jus.
tice of a United States court is limited TO
his salary. The act OF Congress makes 1t
a high misdemeanor for him to engage In
the practice of law, directly or indirectly.
No man appointed to the bench, If he be
qualified for the position, has any business
at the time Of his appointment, other than
a law practice, and afterward has neither
time nor capacity to engage in any other
business. If he had, he ought not to do it,
as it would distract his attention from his
judicial duties. Hence, wise public pol
icy, as well as a sense of propriety and jus
tice. alike require that a man who is in
vited to and accepts judicial position
should be given at the least salary which
will enable him and his family to live in
reasonably genteel style and leave a mar
gin to meet emergencies, such as expenses
and attending unusual Illness and the like.
Any other policy invites the incompetent
and the rich only TO fill judicial positions.
The Hest Men for Judges.
Experience has demonstrated that men
without large means, who work themselves
into the front rank of the profession by
their energies and abilities, make the best
judges. Men of this description between
the ages Of forty-five and fifty-five, the
most appropriate age for the appointment
of judges, cannot afford. and are rarely
willing. to accept a judgeship with salary
which will necessitate their drawing for
part of their ordinary expenses on what
they may have been able to save up to the
time OF their appointment. The public
good requires that judicial salaries should
be so adjusted that such men can afford to
accept judicial positions
