Discovered a New Island.

Capt. Quatrevaux of the French steam
er Theirs, who has just arrived at San
Francisco from Newcastle in Australia,
announces that he has discovered a new
island in the Pacific waters near the
Galbiers group. According to the captain
navigation in the latitude of these Is
lands is most dangerous. 1t was only
with the greatest trouble that he navi-
gated them in safety and that his vessel
escaped being dashed on the rocks. The
island is situated In q degrees 25 south
latitude and 12S degrees 30 west longi-
tude.

RULES FOR DRAWS IN BRIDGES
ACTING SECRETARY OF WAR
ISSUES REGULATIONS.
Times Specified When Trains Have
Right Of Way Over Potomac
River Highway.

Gen. Oliver. acting secretary of war,
has issued regulations for operating the
draws of the highway bridge and the
Pennsylvania railroad bridge across the
Potomac at this city. These regulations
were prepared by Maj Morrow. the en-
gineer officer in charge of the improve
ment Of the river, after consultation with
representatives Of all the interests in
volved. including the commissioner Of
navigation, the supervising inspector gen.
eral Of. navigation. the engineer officer in
charge Of the Highway bridge and rep
resentatives of the Pennsylvania Railway
Company. the Washington. Alexandria
and Mount Vernon Railway Company
and vessel interests in this locality. The
regulations are in the nature of a COM
promise. The army engineers believe they
will prove satisfactory to both the land
and water traffic.
Generally, it is prescribed that vessels
desiring to pass through the draws shall
give three distinct blasts Of their whistles
when not more, than ten minutes. distant
from the nearer bridge. The draw span
will then be opened Immediately for their
or night. except as otherwise provided.
The exceptions specified are when there
Is a train actually on the railroad bridge
block or a mail train In motion toward
the OflQSe IN SlGnt, ana also When there
Is train on the Highway bridge within
three spans Of the draw In such cases
the land traffic will have right of way
and the draws will not be opened until
the trains have passed over.
Rules for Tugboats.
It is provided also that all tugboats the
tops of whose pilot houses will pass under
the lower chords Of the draw spans with
a clearance of three feet or more at mean
high tide shall be equipped with devices
for lowering their smokestacks or other
vertical projections. All tugboats whose
pilot houses are too high for such clear
ance will be exempted from that provision
by special permits issued by the Secretary
of War In each case. The draws will not
be opened for such tugboats without such
permits or which otherwise fail to COM
ply with the provisions of the act APP
proved March 4, 1909.
Other provisions are made to insure the
prompt movement of trains. wagons and
other vehicles over the draws aud the
passage through them of vessels going
up. or down the river.

THE CENSUS POSITIONS.
Appointment Clerk PindeIl Explains
 About Them.

Washington. D. C., Sept. 14.-Ap- pointment Clerk Pindell of the United States census bureau states on the subject of the census examination. October g, that the distinction be- tween the permanent census force and the additional temporary employees provided by the thirteenth census act is quite important and should be re- membered. As vacancies occur on the permanent census roll they will be filled. as heretofore. by transfers from elsewhere in the service, or by selec- tions from the existing registers of the civil service commission.
 Persons now on the registers of the commission are, therefore, eligible for appointment to vacancies on the per manent census roll, but there is no greater opportunity during the. decen- nial period for such appointments than there has been heretofore. The additional temporary positions. au- thorized by the thirteenth census act, except those above $1.20O per annum which will be filled largely by trans

fers from the peramnent census roll will be given to those persons who pass the test examination on October
 2S.- Those now on the registers of
 the civil service commission, who de-
 sire appointment to these additional
 census places. should take the tets
 examination as their present eligibility Lavails them nothing in respect to ap- pointments to these positions. The fact that a person is on the civil service register does not prevent him from taxing the test examination.
 l7Of the four clerical divisions into which the additional census force are separated. class A comprises those en-
 gagged in the operation of card punch
 ing and card tabulating machines;
 class B. those operating typewriter |adding machines; class c, those en- gagged in manuscript tabulation and other clerical work: class D, the sub clerical workers. The entrance salary for classes A, E and c will be $500 per annum. subject to possible promo
 ton to at least s900 a year The mini- mum of $500 per year will also apply to employees paid on piece-pricebasis. Class D will be: Messengers, SS4O: assistant messengers, S720; messenger boys, S4S0; watchmen, s72O; laborers, $720; and charwomen, $240. All orig inal appointments for these classes wiz be made from the eligible regis ters furnished by test examination
 These will be five in number The first will carry the names of all per sons eighteen years of age or over who pass the examination. The sec ond list those on the first register who have had previous experience in oper- ating- card punching, card tabulating or cards sorting machines in census work. The placing of a persons name on this register will not affect his eli gibility on the first, third and fourth registers. The third register will con tain the names of all those on the first register who make an average of 70 on the test in typewriter tabulation. Persons who pass this test will, by so doing, improve their chances of appointment. Nor does entry on this affect eligibility on the first, second or fourth ergister. The fourth register will comprise the names of all the male eligibles on the first register who have expressed a willingness to accept in sub-clerical class D. Entry on this register will not affect eligibility on the first, second or third registers.
 The fifth register will be for boys of IS and less than IS years of age who pass the examination and be- come eligible for appointment as mes senger boys. Only one kind of exam ination will be given all applicants
