CIVIL SERVICE REPORT.
Philippine Board Tells of the Work
ings of the Law.


Washington, April 5.-The first annual
report of the Philippine civil service
board was received here today. 1t says
the civil service act passed before the
organization of the board is so explicit
that many important questions which
otherwise would have arisen in the
preparation of the rules were solved by
the passage of the act The act makes
disloyalty to the United States as the
supreme authority of the islands a com
plete disqualification for holding Office.
Every one examined must first take the
oath of loyalty. An amendment to the
act made January &c last, to take effect
April 1, declares all persons in arms
against the United States in the Philip
pines and all persons aiding or abetting
them are ineligible to hold Office A
minimum age limit of Is years and a
maximum Of 40 years is fixed for the
lower grades.
The act provides for the ultimate
classification of all positions in the. serv-
ice from laborers to heads of bureaus
and offices and the board is empowered
to determine the efficiency of present
and future government employees The
classification OF policemen hremen ana
guards at peritentiaTies and prisons has
been postponed until there are fewer dis
turbing elements in the islands This IS
IN line with the opinion of the military
governor that the present system or Sc
lecting these employees be not departed
from. Owing to the urgency of securing
teachers without delay and the large
number required these positions were
excepted from the provisions of the civil
service act. 1t is believed that condi-
lions in the near future will warrant
their inclusion The selection Of skilled
and unskilled laborers has been left to
the heads of the several departments
or officers with certain conditions as to
certifying the facts on which any re-
mOvals may be based. While it is be-
lieved that the board will in time find
it advisable to accept applications for
employment as laborers and to subject
applicants to tests Of fitness, it is not
seen how under existing conditions this
can be done.
TIE question of ascertaining the fit
ness of employees now in the service will
be considered by the board at the
earliest practical date. At the begin
ming of the civil administration. says the
report, it is essential that the service
should not be embarrassed by the pres
ence of incompetent employees. The act
while giving preference to natives and
soldiers still safeguards the service by
requiring that they shall pass their ex-
aminations sufficiently high to have
their names certified for appointment
The report says that natives found to
have the capacity for positions now held
by the Americans should be advanced as
rapidly as practicable. The FilipiEos
the report says. have Amplitude and
desire for knowledge.

Welter Weight Champion is Easily
Knocked Out by Walcott.
Buffalo, Dec. 19.-Rube Ferns the
welterweight champion. went down to
defeat at the hands of Joe Walcott, the
Barbados black, In five rounds In the
arena of the International Club house at
Fort Erie last night Walcott battered
down Ferns with terrific body blows and
right and left swings to the head. To
save Ferns from being completely
knocked out, Referee y. II. Mcbride
stopped the bout and awarded the decis-
ion to Walcott. In the fifth and last
round Walcott sent the RUDE to the
boards on two occasions and the RUDE
twice took the count. When he arose
the second time he was in weak con-
dition. The fight while it lasted was
the fastest and fiercest fought in the
new. club house. Ferns landed some ter
rifle blows on Walcotts stomach, but
the Boston fighter was in the pink of
condition and laughed at Ferns efforts.
Ferns began to weaken in the third
round and his admirers saw the begin
ming OF the end In the fourth round
both went to the floor in a clinch and
Walcott assisted Ferns to arise. Hardly
had the two renewed hostilities before
Walcott rent the RUDE thru the ropes.
He crawled on his hands and knees to
the ropes and gained his feet. He fought
gamely and desperately. Walcott went
at him with vicious blows and had
Ferns almost out, when Referee Nc
Bride interfered. The men met at 142
pounds and the bout was echeduled for
twenty rounds
