CHINESE RAILWAYS.

War has it's compensatiOns and its
advantages as well as it's miseries and
terrors. The crusades did an enormous
amount of good by teaching the rude
and simi-barbarous western nations of
Europe the refinement, and manners of
the East. According to the report pub
lished by the Chinese Imperial Gus
toms the Boxer rising which made its
first attacks upon the railroad between
Tien-Tsin and Picking will probably be
the indirect cause of extending the Chi
nese railway system. The Report says:
Personal experience is more persua-
sive than advice, and the Chinese Gov
eminent will probably be more dis
posed to regard with favor the extern
sion of railways since the arduous
journey of the Court to Hsi-an to which
place supplies came very slowly and
suffered considerably in bulk on the
road. Famine, too, has come under
their immediate notice, and the people
We're perishing around them without
hope of the relief which railways could
have brought.

The union and non-union sailors are
as hard at logger-heads here as they
have been in San Francisco. Yester-
day saw quite neat little row between
the unionists and Lewis and Purk who
had been shipping a non-unionist crew.
What the rights of this particular mat
ter are the police court will decide II
is unfortunate that our waterfront,
which for so many years was thorough
ly peaceful and orderly, should become
the scene of riot and disorder. Lewis
and Turk may be in the right in this
instance. but they are ever birds of ill
omen to the waterfront of any port.

punishment The commission makes a
plea for an increase OF the force Of ex-
aminers anu for ample facilities to re-
new systematic instruction OF local
boards of examiners.
There wer during the year covered
| by the repurt 400 different kinds Of
examinations involving 1,1SS oDportuni-
ties for the assembling of competitors
at places widely distributed throughout
the states and territories. During the
same period no fewer than 456il per-
sons took the competitive examinations
for original appointments to the classi-
fled service, while there were only
$3.50 appointments made in the general
departmental service.
Examinations in Porto Rico have
been delayed, ii is said, by uncertainty
as to whether the people there were
citizens of the United States within the
meaning of the ciYn service rules.
There has been no uncertainty about
the status of Hawaiians as citizens of
the United States, but it has been
difficult to get the machinery ready for
Hawaii. The number of candidates for
civil service positions on the mainland
is very large in comparison with the
number of places available. The num-
Der of candidates in Hawaii may not
at first be in like proportion, but when
the advantages of the civil service are
understood, and the method and style
of examination become familiar, there
will be many applicants.
There are fifteen positions open to
Hawaiians in Washington. 1t would
be an excellent thing if these could
all be filled. Those who obtain them
will have an opportunity of charging
their experience in a manner which it
is impossible for them now. Every
encouragement should be given to in
crease the number of would-be candi-
dates. Even if many fail it will be an
experience for them and they will be
the better qualified to pass on the next
occasion. Examinations will be at
stated intervals and a failure at one
will not bar the candidate from trying
again.

CIVIL SERVICE.

The annual report of the chief ex-
aminer of the National Civil Service
Commission states that fraud in con-
nection with the examinations in the
national system has now become so
difficult that it may be regarded as a
negligible quantity.
The report notices some instances of
frauds discovered in examinations
which have resulted in barring often
ders from future tests, and declares
that it is now well-nigh impossible for
collision to occur without leaving ear
marks and being followed by summary
