FUNK CONSUL TEST
Government Exam Too Stiff for Majority of Foreign Service
 Aspirants,
32 OUT OF 82 ARE PASSED
Discouraging Lack of Suitable Mate rial Under Civil Service
 Methods.

Washington Dec 20 The board of examiners has certified to the secretary of state a list of successful candidates, which was made public to-day, who are eligible to appointment in the con- sular service, having passed the ex- amlnations prescribed before the board. Of the seventy-one candidates who were designated for the examination last July. forty-fve presented them selves and only nineteen passed the examination. In the November ex- animation hfty-eight candidates were designated and of these thirty-seven were examined, out of which only twenty-three were successful
 Commenting upon the November ex- animation, the board reports:
 This examination has again shown 9 discouraging lack of suitable mate rial for appointment to the student interpreter corps, and fin a less degree, the lack of good candidates for the consular assistant corps. In the case of both these branches of the services t seems impossible to ohtaIn the men absolutely required without drawing upon states already over-represented in the service.
 Tt Is much to be hoped that hereaf- ter there will he greater number of ualihed applicants to entertain the very important corps of students ln- terpreters and consular assistants, from which, upon proof of ability. pro motion to the higher grades of the ser. vices logically follows.
 Among those successful for the post of consul were Leo I Frankenthal, Nasea chusetts: Paul H Cram, Maine, and Alger F. Carlton, Vermont
 For student interpreterships and con sulnr assistants tho following were among the successful. Benjamin C. Sinclair Vermont; Hugh H. Watson, Vermont. and Ulysses J Bywater, Massachusetts

 The commission has jurisdiction to make an order in "any inquiry on it's own motion in the same manner and Ito the same effect az though com- plaint has been made
