THE CIVIL SERVICE
Annual Report of the Commission
_ Submitted.
EIAMHATI01I8 DURIH6 THE TEAS
Extension of the Eligibility Limit
Recommended.
OTHER SUGGESTIONS
The United StAtes civil service commis
sion has sent its seventeenth annual report
to the President. The* report reviews the
work done during the year, and consider
able space is given to a discussion of the
operation and effect of the presidential
rules now In force and to their administra
tion, Investigations made of irregularities
and violations and to the difficulties expe
rienced and the suggested changes which
experience shows to be necessary.
An Interesting feature of the report Is a
brief history of the benefits derived by the
operation of the civil service law since its
enactment, and the commission's attitude
and policy Is set forth as to the greatest
practicable publicity concerning all matters
connected with its work. A brief review
of the recently enacted civil service law in
the Philippine Islands Is given, and the
commission repeats its recommendation for
extensions of the classified service, makes
a strong argument for material Increase of
appropriation for a more adequate force of
clerks and examiners, and concludes with
appropriate expressions upon the death of
former Commissioners Dorman B. Eaton
and Mark S. Brewer.
Examined Daring the Year.
During the year 46.763 persons were ex
amined, of whom 85,025 passed. Of those
who passed 34,437 were for original ap
pointment to the service, of which number
9,889 were appointed, the largest number
ever appointed to the classified service
through examination In any single year. In
the past three years 27,316 persons have ob
tained their appointments through the ex
aminations provided for by the civil service
rules, while for the period beginning July
10, 1883, the date when the civil service act
became operative, and terminating June 30,
1900, a total of 78,791 persons have been
thus appointed. Exclusive of the railway
mall and Indian services, the number of
removals of persons appointed to the gov
ernment service through the commission
has been only 68-100 of 1 per cent per an
num. The efficiency of persons appointed
through the commission has been shown by
this, and the fact that 98 per cent of those
they certify and who are given probation
ary appointments are at the end of six
months given permanent places.
Extension of Eligibility Limit.
The commission state% that much of the
material It secures in the way of profes
sional and scientific registers of ellglbles
is wasted, owing to the maximum limita
tion of two years upon the period of eligi
bility, and recommends that It be vested
with authority to further extend eligibility
on such registers beyond the period of two
years up to a certain limit, and under pro
visions which would safeguard against
abuse.
An argument Is presented In favor of
fewer exceptions to appointment through
the commission.
The report states that while, of course,
there Is by no means an entire absence of
Irregularities and violations of the law and
rules, and that while the system Is not yet
working with entire satisfaction, yet. taken
as a whole, there has been a decided and
gratifying Improvement In this direction,
the Improvement naturally being most con
spicuous In those parts of the service
which have been longest under the opera
tion of the-law.
Political Assessments.
Upon the general subject of political as
sessments the commission says:
"Since the passage of the civil service act
the growing lnfrequency of attempts to
levy political assessments or solicit contri
butions from federal employes in violation
of the law has been particularly gratify
ing. ? * ? The efforts of the commission
and the heads of departments to inform
the government employes of these provis
ions of the law and rules to secure their
enforcement have no doubt done much to
discourage attempts to collect political as
sessments. ? ? ? The aggregate salaries
of the positions now in the classified serv
ice, numbering about 90,000, and to be
reached only through competitive examina
tions, approximate S75.000.000 per annum,
while the salaries of all unclassified posi
tions In the executive branch of the gov
ernment, probably numbering slightly over
100,000, are estimated not to exceed $30,000,
000, of which over 00 per cent is for the
compensation of the 4,429 presidential post
masters and the 72,160 postmasters of
fourth-class offices."
Speaking of the efficiency of persons cer
tified for appointment by the commission
the report says:
"It has been estimated that not less than
110,000,000 per annum have been saved In
the salaries of government employes as a
direct result of the enforcement of the
civil service act."
Recommendation of Extension.
Recommendation la again made that the
provisions of the civil service law be ex
tended to Include the Library of Congress
and the force in the government of the
District of Columbia. Some systematic
plan for the employment of unskilled labor
ers Is advised, whereby these positions may
be filled by persons who are competent and
willing to perform laborer's duties and
whereby the practice of appointing persons
to such positions and assigning them to
clerical and other duty in the classified ser
vice would be discouraged. It is pointed
out that existing laws should be so amend
ed as to provide for a corps of pension ex
amining surgeons to take the place of the
present local boards, suoh surgeons to be
appointed under the provisions of the civil
service law. An argument Is presented to
show that the Interests of the service re
quire that Indian agents should be ap
pointed upon some system of ascertained
merit and qualification. A plea Is made to
Congress for a larger appropriation to
meet the Increased needs of the commis
sion.

THE PENSION ROLL
Commissioner Evans' Statement of
Operations of Hit Office,
PREPARED FOR G. A.R. EMC
Increase of Pensioners Dur
Last Fiscal Year.
TOTAL AMOUNT PAID OUT
The operations of the pension office dur
ing the last fiscal year, as compared with
former years, are shown In a statement pre
pared by the commissioner of pensions.
Most of the data will be embodied in his
annual report, and the statement is pre
pared for the use of the national encamp
ment of the G. A. R., which will be held
before the report Is ready.
It shows that the number of pensioners
on the rolls June 30 last was 997,735, a net
gain of 4.206 over last year. The total net
loss during the year was 43,586, which
includes 38.153 by death, 80S by re
marriage, 1,582 by minora reaching the age
of* sixteen, 1.538 by failure to claim pen
sion and 1,400 from other causes. A com
parative table shows that the total for the
year Just closed Is the "high-water mark"
in the history of the pension bureau, the
next highest having been reached In 1K*8.
Of the gains during the year 3,849
were from the war with Spain. The
losses Include two from the revolution. 215
from the war of 1812. 826 from the war
with Mexico and 544 from the Indian wars.
The gains since 1898 were 13,334 widows of
the civil war and 5,0i>4 from the Spanish
war; total. 18,938. The net gain in the
four years was 4.021.
Pensions granted to widows under the
act of June 27. 18510, during the year num
bered 16,610, or nearly 4,500 In excess of
those granted the previous year.
Classified Pensioners.
The pensioners on the rolls are classified
as follows: Survivors, 8,655; invalids, 739,
994; widows, 249.086. These comprise 13,
124 widows and the 8,055 survivors on ac
count of old wars prior to 1861; 297,075 in
valids, and 88,802 on account of general
laws, disability of service origin, mostly
civil war; 438.114 Invalids and 145,111 wid
ows on account of the June, 1890, act, civil
war disability not due to service; 050
army nurses and 3.556 Invalids and 2.049
widows on account of the war with Spain.
The total amount paid to pensioners as
first payments on the allowance of their
claim during 1901 was $9,934,764, or <106.238
more than the first payments during 1900.
This amount represents the arrears of pen
sion aggregating 675 claims allowed, to an
average of nearly $1,500 each.
The fees paid to attorneys amounted to
$591,245, an increase of almost $74,000. due
to the Spanish war. At least 100,000 of the
medical examinations held during the year
resulted unfavorably to the claimants. The
amount paid to pensioners under the gen
eral law during the year was $67,807,233, a
decrease of $1,790,253 from the amount paid
last year. It is believed that during the
fiscal year of 1902 the payments under the
general law will be exceeded by those to
Sensloners under the act of 1890. The
panlsh war pensioners received $1,175,225,
an increase over last year of $842,320, and
the pensioners under the act of 1890, as
amended May 0. 1900, received $06,973,481,
an Increase over last year of $1,207,402.
During the last thirty years the survivors
of the war of 1812 and their widows have
received $44,841,648; Mexican war, $30,201,
187, and Indian wars. $5,402,064.
The total disbursements for pensions from
July 1. 1790. to June 30 of this year ag
gregate $2,763,350,033. There were 45,860
claimants for pension during the year.
Money Paid to Pensioners.
The pension rolls still contain the names
of one survivor and 1,527 widows on ac
count of the war of 1812. 1,086 survivors
and 3,479 widows on account of Indian
wars and 7,568 survivors and 8,109 widows
on account of Mexican war. The bureau is

ing the year, 44,225 being for original pen
sion. The number of claims pending July
1 last was 403,569. The statement gives

ANTI-AMERICAlt COMBWATIO*.

In Dispatch to London Tii~
LONDON, August 19.?In a dispatch deal
ing at considerable length with the pro
posed anti-American trade combination the
Vienna correspondent of the Times says:
"The most influential representative of
the agricultural interests of Austria, at a
recent session in the government depart
ment intrusted with the preparation of
commercial treaties, unanimously adopted
a resolution declaring thai: they regarded
the projected German tariff as the first
step in the direction of such a combina
tion. and that one of the most important
of the Austrian government would
be to pave the way to as understanding
with Germany on that subject. A resolu
tion was also adopted declaring that th<
t _ the
projected German 'tariff rendered an In
