MAKE MERIT THE TEST.
PrObabiIitythat Employees Free
Delivery System Will be Put
in Classified Service.

Washington, Nov. 17.-Superintend-
ent A W. Machen Of the free delivery
system of the postofHce department
has been in conference with the men,
bers of the civil service commission
relative to proposition to transfer the
rural free delivery branch of the post
office department work TO the CLASH
fed service. This system gradually has
grown from q small beginning to large
proportions within the past few years,
and as il was not included in the
classified service at the beginning of
its existence, appointments in that
service have been made without regard
10 the requirements of the civil serv-
Ice law. There are now between 5000
and 1900 persons employed in this
work, which extends all over the Unit
ed states and not only the members
Of the commission, but the officials of
the postOfiice department itself have
come to the conclusion that the seTV-
Ice should be embraced in the CLASH
fed service. Superintendent Machen
went over the ground thoroughly with
the commission and while no positive
conclusion was reached. it was stated
by both parties TO the conference that
the prospect for the extension of the
civil service requirements to the rural
free delivery is good. and it is quite
certain that the extension viii be
made. Some difficulty has been ex-
perienced in determining what exami-
nation the rural carriers should be
subjected to and it is understood that
an arrangement has been reached
whereby a separate examination viii
be arranged for them.

COMpLETlONOFCENSUS IOWA BANK ROBBERS.
Gen. Merriam Says Four Principal
Reports Will be Completed
in Schedule Time.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE annual
report Of W. R. Merriam, director of
the census, was made public today by
the secretary of the interior, to whom
it is addressed. Speaking Of the pros
pect Of meeting the legal requirement
for the completion of the four principal
reports by July 1, 1901, Mr.. Merriam
says
The work of tabulating the returns
and results of the field work of the
enUmerators and special agents of the
tive 9TH census has progressed with
reasonable CELEBRITY. The law provides
that the four principal reports shall be
placed in the hands of the public by
the first of July, 1902. and this require
ment has rendered it absolutely neces-
sary to maintain a clerical force ade-
quate to complete the work within the
prescribed period.
The statisticians made estimates Of
the time needed to finish the particular
branch assigned to each of them. The
plans so submitted have been greatly
interfered with because of the absence
of clerks from duty. owing to sickness
or annual leave. 1t was hoped by the
first of November a large number Of
employees could be dispensed with, but
1nasmuch as the work has been re-
tarded, owing to the difficulty of main
tanning the clerical force at its max
imum, il is not likely that there will
be any material reduction until after
the first of the year. The officials of
the office believe that their allotted
task viii be completed in ample time
The director gives a list of prose-
culons for violation of the law in con-
nection with the census work, saying
Of them:
1t was hardly to be expected that
out of the large number of agents en-
ployed in the field work-about 50 600 in
all-there would not be some who would
prove incompetent and unfaithful to
duty. The director has endeaYOred to
enforce the census act to the letter.
and through the assistance of the at
torney general has proceeded against
all offenders"

ments from the different chiefs of di-
visions in the bureau. S. n. D. North

speaking Of the success of the bu-
reau's two reports on cotton. Mr. North
says; This Office has secured from
cotton producers, cotton exchanges
cotton factories and cotton manufac-
Jurers an overwhelming approval of

1 am therefore led to recommend that
congress pass a joint resolution au-
tnorizing and instructing the census

the cotton ginneries annually. Under

rived here Saturday evening and regis
tered at the Portland hotel. He was as
signed a room on the ground floor Of the
hotel and placed a trunk containing dis-
monds valued at $4,000 and 500 in gold
in the room. Mr.. Lowenthal states that
he left the hotel between and 10 o'clock
last evening, and that when he returned
he found the trunk broken open and the
diamonds and cash missing. Detectives
were Immediately summoned. and from
a hasty examination of the premises ar
rived at the following conclusion; \
1anitOr of the hotel had a bunch of pass
keys in the pocket of a pair Of trousers
which were hanging in a closet in the
basement. This bunch of keys is
miss-SS and the theory is that
the thief who was evidently well
posted as to the basement story OF the
hotel, secured these keys and thus ef-
fected an entrance to Mr.. LOwenthaTs

MISS STONES RELEASE
Brigands Have Sent No Reply to
Mr.. Dickinson'S Pro-
poSaI.

Sofia, Bulgaria, Nov. 1.-THE bri-
gands who abducted Miss Ellen NJ.
Stone, the American missionary, and
Nine. Tsilka, her companion, have not
yet replied to the latest proposals of
Mr.. Dickinson, diplomatic agent Of the
United States in Sofia. This is be
lieved to be due to the fact that the
band has many leaders, and that the
latter are unable to agree among them
selves.
There is a general impression here
that time is being frittered away while
waiting for the brigands to reduce
their demands II is felt that the only
means by which matters can be
brought to a head is to inform them as
to the sum available for ransom and
to declare thas this cannot be increased
for any consideration whatever Such
an ultimatum might endanger the life
of Miss Stone, but it is more probable
that the brigands viii accept this con-
ditiOn. Besides, every days delay i'm

P0WDERLY'S PLAN
TO HANDLE ALIENS

Washington, Nov. 1L-COmmissioner
General Powderly Of the immigration
bureau in his annual report reiterates
the views expressed in his last annual
report as to the necessity of amend
ing the laws in relation to the pun
ishment of persons who induce aliens
to come to the United States to engage
in labor or service of any kind
In discussing the general subject
of immigration, the commissioner gen
eTal says in part;
ITO deal with the problem success
fully it seems indispensable to remove
as far as possible those conditions
which conflict with the incorporation
Of the alien element into the social
system of the country so that by actual
experience the former may learn as
soon as possible that the basis and
foundation of American policy is a re-
spect and affection for and a willing
obedience to the laws and customs Of
the land, because the maintenance of
those laws is the best safeguard of
individual liberty. 1t is therefore rec
commended that congress enact suitable
legislation either with or, if necessary,
without the cooperation of the states
for the purpose of distributing the
alien population with some reference
to the industrial law of supply and de-
mand.

JAPAN'S FINANCES
PAINTED IN ROSE HUES

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE japanese
minister has received telegraphic ad-
vices from his government which
show thar the statements recently
published concerning the existence of
financial panic in Japan are IN
founded. There have been some nuc-
tu2tions in the stock market, but moth
Ing Of an alarming nature. and the
publication of the governments new
financial scheme has checked effectual-
" the downward movement. The
market is now buoyant, government
securities being quoted at higher rates
than for some time past The new
scheme cOntemplates the provision of
capital for the extension of railways
and telegraphs. which are yielding a
net profit Of per cent, by the sale of
bonds 10 the postal savings banks, the
utilization of surplus revenues from
the railroads and telegraphs, and the
sale from time to time of such quanti-
ties of bonds as can be absorbed easily
by the dom site market. The cOun-
try has enjoyed one of the most pros
porous years in its history. The rice
and silk crops have been unusually
lcTge. and there is a steady influx of
gold as a result Of the trade. II is
explained, the minister further states,
that the alleged panic was attributed
to a loan failure. The result Of the
