In the July examination twenty-five
applicants took the examination. OF
this number, one received No. /, ten
No. 2, Va No. 3, and four failed to
receive certificates, having made the
same grade in the May examination.
Two We're withheld and one failure.
Taken in all the applicants acquitted
themselves Well, as we judge this ex-
animation to have been one of the
rigid ones OF the uniform system,
~tEGsslr5A
The state superintendent has ruled
that where a teacher fails to receive
q higher grade of certificate than that
made at a former examination during
that year no certificate will be issued
and only the per cent. that the appli-
cant made in each branch will be sent
TO him. This is to save unnecessary
cost and labor to the state as a certi-
ficate ends with the school year and
two or three certificates of the same
grade would be of no greater value
than one.

They Favor a Flat Tax Per
Mile Upon TeIe raph
Companies

Members Of the Commission on Reve-
rue and Taxation held another session in
the rooms Of the Street and Sewer Diree.-
ors this morning when the taxation OF
telegraph companies was considered.
Representatives of the Western Union
telegraph Company were before the com
mission ana discussed the taxation Of
such wire systems. The representatives
in attendance were J. s. w. Philips Of
the Philadelphia office. and L. n. Whit
noy. OF the tax department in New York.
Mr.. whitney at one time was connected
with the Wilmington City Railway Com
pany IN this city
These officials explained the taxation
laws 80 far as they applied 20 telegraph
companies in other States. and they in
clined to the method that would impose a
stipulated tax per mile upon the poles and
wires Of companies, regardless Of the
earnings Of the companies. This method
is now in effect in Wilmington. Connecu-
cut also imposes a tax upon wire COM
panies on the mileage basis
The commission will take up the taxa
ton Of express companies next. Senator
Sparks to-day stated that the commission
probably would be busy durlns the en-
tire ensuing year pursuing its inquiry inte

IN NO HASTE TO
NAME A BISHOP
May be From Three to Six
Months Before Action
is Taken

While the passing away Of Bishop
Leighton Coleman leaves vacancy at
the head of the Protestant Episcopal
diocese Of Delaware, it was said this
morning that nothing definite will be
done toward electing a new bishop for
the diocese before three months at
least and there is possibility that no
action may be taken until the diocesan
convention in June next.
Meanwhile the administration Of the
affairs Of the diocese will be in charge
of the standing committee, which COM
prises Judge Edward G. Bradford,
Charles NJ. Curtis, the Rev. Kensey J..
Hammond, of Emmanuel Church, High
lands; the Rev. John NJ. Bunting, Of
Christ Church, Christiana hundred, and
the Rev. j. Leighton McKim, OF
Georgetown.
The standing committee is empower
ed to call a diocesan convention TO
nominate a bishop, or it can wait until
the annual diocesan convention rolls
around.
In the convention the clergymen
nominate bishop by a majority vote
and the nomination is then submitted
Ito the lay convention for approval A
majority vote may approve or disap-
lprove If the nomination is approved
then il is submitted TO the bishop of
each diocese and the standing commit
tee Of each diocese in the country. If
majority Of the bishops and ma
ljority of the standing committees ap-
lprove. the nomination is confirmed, and
/ the man upon whom the honor is con-
lferred is eligible to conservation as a
bishop
on the other hand If the lay con-
vention of the diocese Of Delaware
ldisapproves of the nomination made
by the clerical convention, the latter
would have to continue to nominate
Iuntil a man was named who would be
acceptable to a majority Of the lay
delegates. Then the procedure would
have TO be followed until a man was
nominated for bishop who could re-
ceive the approval of a majority OF the
lay delegates and majority Of the
standing committees and bishops
throughout the country
At the death Of Bishop Lee, IN 1888
II was necessary to hold several do
cesan conventions. as the lay conven-
ton rejected several nominations made
Inv the clergy in convention. FINALLY
Bishop Coleman was nominated anc
was approved by the laymen and the
standing committees and bishops of the
country
