TUG DALLMAN SAFE IN PORT.
After Lying in Coan River During
Storm Arrives at Destination.

The tug Martin Dallman, belonging to
the John Miller Company of this city,
which left here about two weeks ago for
d shipyard at Solomons Island Md, ar
rived there in safety Thursday evening
after trip of twelve days.
Capt. Frank Posey, who took the tug
from this city, reports a rough voyage
that greatly delayed it. In conse-
quence of a heavy gale she was forced to
run for the Coan river for harbor. She
lay there until Thursday morning, when
the weather was calm enough to allow
the small boat to resume her voyage.
The owners of the Dallman recently
purchased the hull of tugboat built for
the Potomac Dredging Company at Solo
mons. In it will be installed the engine
and machinery now in the Dallman.
1t is expected that this work will take
several months and that 1t will be early
spring before the new vessel is ready for
service. 1t is the intention of the Miller
Company to have the hull of the Dali
man rebuilt and to place in it a small en-
CINE and boiler and to bring her back to
this city in the spring for service as
tender to the dredging machine belonging
to her owners.

@'That there are many more unemployed
persons in the country now than usual,
or at least many more who are DESTROYS
of entering the service of the govern
ment,'' said Acting Chief Examiner Hill
Ter Of the civil service commission yester-
day. els evidenced by the wonderful in
crease in the number of persons who have
applied to take evil service examinations
during the past year.
"There are now in the office 1880 sets
of examination papers to be rated. There
we're more than &c. 900 at the beginning of
the fiscal year July I, 1908. We dispose
of these papers at the rate Of about =, 100
a week.
cit is probable that fully 5000 sets of
papers have been received since July 1
last from the secretary of the local civil
service boards for positions in the postal
service. A year ago there were only
10000.
at the recent examinations for stem
ographers and typewriters in the govern
ment service there were 500 applicants.
We have just learned from the local
boards at New York city and Brooklyn
that 4.soO persons have entered the exam
nations for post office positions, which
extend from November 10 to December
10. year ago there were but 1850. but
then we were holding examinations about
every sixty days.
For the year ended June go 1908. 167.
SOL persons were examined, as against
1876 los for the year ended June 80. 1907.
and the year of 1907 showed an increase
over 1906 of about 1900
ut is questionable that people are try
ing to get into the government service
now because they believe Congress is go
ing to increase salaries. Indications, in
my judgment. point rather to the re-
verse. But I do believe the great in
crease in the number for examination Is
due to the fact that there are SO many
more people out of work now

with provisions, and put off from the
sinking vessel. Two minutes later the
