to coal the large ships there, one at time
But the area of deep water for the an

PHILIPPINE CIVIL SERVICE.
Commission Finds 1t Difficult to Es.
tablish an Eligible List.

The civil service commission is finding It
difficult to establish and keep an eligible
list for the different departments Of the
civil service in the Philippines. Several
cablegrams have been received here re-
Gently from different branches Of the gov
ernment service there asking for eligible
lists.
. The commission is making every effort
to meet this demand. The work of mark
ing the papers obtained in the recent ex-
animation for departmental assistants has
just been completed. There were $50 per-
sons who took this examination, and about
half that number have passed. The exami-
nation was difficult in character, as the
appointees under that head will be eligi-
BILE for the higher positions in the service
There were nine subjects required in the
examination and twenty others which
were elective. Most of the competitors Sc
lected four or five Of the optional subjects
besides the required tests The papers will
be forwarded to the Philippines at once as
the work of making selections for appoint
ment devolves upon the heads of depart
mentS there. Notifications will, however
be sent by the commission to successful
applicants, and they will also be informed
selected for appointment.
There has been more difficulty in supply
ing stenographers and typewriters for the
Philippine service than any other branch
ne eliSlpleS luTnlSneQ py the eXdmiua ton
held several months ago have practically
been exhausted, and other examinations
have been ordered for the immediate fu-
ture, to be held in all parts of this couo-
try: The request has been for male stenoz-

number the first draft has just been made
