MANY CLERKS OVER SIXTY "FIVE rlr Feartem Thoasanel W Clerks On fhe Par Hollei rif teen Thoasanel VftfMH f tha Win. WASHINGTON. April 14-The employe In ths executive civil service are tha sub- Je-tr of a statistical Inquiry which has ust been compl-ted by ths bureau of the- census. Ths results of this Inquiry are published In census bulletin 94. which was pi r pared by Lewis Merlsm, acting chief Of the division of revision" and results. On July 1, IStfrT, according to this bulletin. the totsl number of employes In the execu tive civil service, exclusive of persons In ths consular and diplomatic service, was 2M.S02; and of thl number 29,103 practi cally one-tenth were employed at tha na- tlct.al capltnl. S A tha net result of all omissions, the total number of persons treated by the bureau of tii census as employes In the executive civil service is 1SE..S74, Women fa Service Ifamber 1)1,891. Of these 186.B74 person. ..V1 are em ployed In the District of Columbia, whlls 160.R3 are employed elsewhere. Although the total number of employes In ths dis trict I thu less than one-sixth of ths total number elsewhere, tha number of omen In the district exceed the number elsewhere by 196. Of the employe In the district 7,368 sra women, or almost I In 10, while of the employes elsewhere but 4,484 are women, or 1 In 26, This difference Is mainly to be attributed to the fact that In the district a far larger proportion of the positions are suitable tor women than Is the case elsewhere. Of the total number of government em ployes, 1B4.02I, or 83.9 per cent, are natlvs whites; 1K.S25, or 10 per cent, foreign born whites; and 11,324, or 4.1 per cent, colored. Of the colored, I.S62 are negroes, 1,725 In dians, 1,047 Filipinos, 143 Chinese and 43 Japanese. In -the District of Columbia, 2,785 of tha employes are nearrs.. Ths !e' to say. at the nationul t.i one govern ment employe in nine Is a negro. Many Art AS Years of Aara. ; One of the most Interesting questions con sidered In the bulletin Is thsl of tha aga of the employe. One-half of them are undar 34.6 years of age. In the district the median age Is ellglitly higher, being 3.( yesrs, while elsewhere It Is but 44.2. . Tha advanced are periods are, however. more Interesting than the medians. Tha figure show the government employs In tha ctvlc service 4,364 persons from 46 to- 4 year of age; 1.657 from 70 to 74 year; 466 from 71 to 79 years; and 137 at least 80 year of age. These figures give a total of 4,634 employees In tha executive civil service who are 66 year of age Or over. Of this number, 1.863 are employed In tha District of Columbia and 4,471 alsswhers. Although less numerous In tha district than else- wh-are, employees of advanced age form a much large proportion of tha force In the district than they do of tha force else where. In ths district practically one government employs In fourteen Is at least 65 years of age, while elsewhere tha corresponding figures are but about . one In thirty-foUr. In an effort to determine whether these figure represent any speolal tendency tor government employe to remain in service after persons in othsr walks of Iff would have retired, the census bulletin- -ctumpsres the ages of the government employes with ths ages of all breadwinners at the census of 1900, and reaches the conclusion that the tendency to remain in tha government ser vice' after reselling advanced age Is not unusual, except, perhaps, among the male employee in the District of Columbia. Civil Hervlca Rales' Now Prevail. Of tne employe considered in this, bulletin 164,061, or about nine out of ten, are In the classified service,, and most of the employes. about two-thirds of the total number, se cured their present positions through open competitive examination., inis is, in isci, practlcafly the only way In which a person seeking government employment can now enter tha classified servlcs. Tha two ex ceptions to tha fundamental rule requiring a .competitive examination are both un important, as only 2,63, or -1.4 per cent of tha total number of employes, were re ported as securing their present statua by noncompetitive examination" or by "pref erence. -Person who secure positions In the classified service through "classifica tion and extension" that Is, survivor from a former system qf appointment form less than a fifth of the total number of employes. Thus tha figure Indicate that the greater part of tha government em ployes hold office by virtue of the new sys tem Instituted by the civil service of 1843. Relatively more of the colored than of the white occupy unclassified position.. Of ths colored 44.4 per cent are In the unclassified serving as contrasted with 9.4 per cent of the white. It Is Interesting to mots, how ever, that 4,304 colored persons, 38 per cent of the total number In the service; secured their present status through open com pet 1 Jive examination. Of thla number 4,168 are negroa, eighty-seven Indians, thirty-two Filipinos, rJne Japanese, and eight Chinese. difference In the creation of new posi tions may, to soma extent, explain tha faot that the length of service Is greater In ths district than it 1 elsewhere. In the dist rict nesrly 70 per cent of ths employes hsve been in the service live years or mors, while elsewhere the corresponding percent age Is only about 49. In the periods of longest service, moreover, tha difference between the two localltlea are particularly notice able. The period forty years and pver; for example, contain 2.3 per cent of the em ployes In the district and three-tenths of 1 per cent of those elsewhere. Maar Were Old Whea Appelated. Length of service is. of oourse, intimately connected with age. . No youivg man, how ever, may have served a short period, and It Is this fact which makes particularly Interesting the Utjle In the census bulletin, which classifies the employes by age and length of service. This table shows that ft least 1,129 employes, must have been ap pointed after reaching the age of 4) and that 11 the actual number appointed after reaching that age la probably considerably larger. Although tha proportion 9brmed by persons of advanced age Is greater In the District than It la elsewhere, this does not appear to indicate a greet er tendency In ths District toward tha appointment of el derly people. In the District of Columbia the epproxi mate avsrsge compensation tor men Is 11.171 and for women 4837; elsewhere It Is 3934 for men and t46 for women. That the women are paid at a lower rate than tha men does not Indicate that women receive leaa than men for the same class of work, but reflects the fact that a fsr larger percentage of women than of men are en gaged In subclerlcal work or manual, labor. The epprexlmete average rates of com pensation for different classes of em ployee are as follow: Executive, 41,963; professional, technical and scientific, II. ITS; mlseetlsneous, 41.221; mschsnical, (969; clerical. fM. and subclerlcal. and maaual labor, 4711. la the oieric! class. It Is In teresting tn note, the approximate average compensation for women (39SOV Is practically the same ss that for men (.J96.1). War Veterans la 9rvlee. In answer to the Inquiry.; concerning war service 15.107 employes, i.2 "per cent of the total number, reposed that they were war veterans. Of these veterans 8,464 hsd served In the civil war snd 4.T43 In the war With ftpaln. Ths total number of employee at least 6) yrsrs of age Is 13.363, and of this number 7,76, or III per cent, are wsr veterans. Roughly spesklng, therefore; among every ten employes at least 60 years of age six are war veterans. In addition to the figures for the em ployes above considered the bulletin also show separately certain statistics for the postmssters, classifying them by sex, age, period of service and compenesllort. It also contslns several diagrams Illustrating the distribution of the employee by sex. age. marital condition, character of appoint ment and other details LINCOLN GAINS A POINT (Continued from First Fags ) which met here In December last, and the friends of Internal improvement under federal patronage are holding, to the opinion that beat results can be obtained by not attempting to Influence national legislation in any particular form, the plan being simply to urge congress to provide federal help to drainage In such Shape as congress itself shall deem win and proper.

Interstate Com merce commission does . not change the status of rates en coal and paving brick, as between Omaha and Lincoln, from what they are at present, but en the other com modlties It makes a great difference to Job bers at Omaha, for 1( will give .the Jobbers of Lincoln an Immense sdvantage unless the Nebraska Railway commission comes to the relief of Omaha. The rate on lumber Is now 2.4S cents lower from' Lincoln to most towns of the state than from Omaha. When the Interstate Commerce commission ruled that the same rate from the south applied to Lincoln as to Omaha It gives that town the advantage of nearly 3 cents a hundred over Omaha. It is said to mean that lumber cannot be Jobbed through Omaha against Lincoln competition.

Internal affairs I need not discuss; all the advanced reformers - and fsr sighted patriots In the Chinese empire are at present seekWig (I me y add, with our hearty good will), for a radical and far- reaching reform In Internal affairs. In external affairs the policy ha resulted In various other nations now holding large portion of Chinese territory, while there Is a very acute fear In China lest the empire because of Its defenselessness, be exposed to sbsolute dismemberment, and Its well wishers are able to help It only in a small measure, because no nation can help any other unless that other can help Itself. "The State department Is contlnuslly ap pealed to to Interfere on behalf of people's and nationalities who Insist that they are suffering from oppression now Jews In one country, now Christians tn another; now black men said to be oppressed by white men In Africa. It Is probably a con servative statement to say that within the last twelve years, at periods of profound peace and not as the result of war, mas sacres and' butcheries have occurred In whloit more lives of men, women and child ren have been lost than In any single great war since the close of the Napoleonlo struggles. Dangers to the Oppressed. "To any publio man who knows of the complaints continually made to the State department there is n element of grim tragedy in the claim that the time has gon by when weak nations or people csn be oppressed by those who are stronger without arousing effective protest from other strong Interests. Even this still fresh In the mind of every thinking man shows that neither arbitration nor any other de vice can as yet be Invoked to prevent the gravest and' moat terrible wrong doing to peoples who are either few In numbers, or who. It numerous, have lost the first nd most Important of national virtues the capacity for self-defense. 1 "When a nation is ao bapplly situated as ours that Is, when It has no reason to fear or to be feared by its land neighbors the fleet Is all the more necessary for the preservation of peace. Oreat Britain has been saved by its fleet from the necessity of facing one 6t the two al ternativesof submission to conquest by a foreign power or of Itself becoming a grefct military power. The Vnlted States can hope for a permanent career of peace on only one condition and that Is, on condition of building and maintaining a first class navyr and the step to be taken toward this end at this time Is to provide for the building of four additional battle ships. Measure gerely Needed. "I earnestly wish that the congress would pass the measure for which I have asked for strengthening and rendering more ef ficient the army as well a the navy; all of these measure, a affecting every branch and detail of both services, are sorely needed, and It would be the part of far-sighted wisdom to enact them all Into laws, but the most vital and Im mediate need Is that of the four battle ship.

"I cannot recommend to your notice measure for -the fulfillment of our duties to the rest of the world without again pressing upon you the necessity of plac ing ourselves tn a condition of complete defense and of exacting from them the ful flllment of their duties toward us.
