The civil-service commission is overwhelmed with papers of exami nations for government offices and the corps of examiners is working overtime to dispose of the constant accumulation. So far during this administration more people have been examined bv the commission throughout the country than iu any previous year, largely the result of anticipated changes in the rules be cause of the change of administra tion. Over 14,700 papers are now on tile pending action, covering all kinds of examinations. The Chattanooga Trdesman. Au gust 10. says. "Reports from special correspondents at prominent busi ness centres of the South continue encouraging, and both merchants and manufacturers are looking for ward to a large volume of trade in the fall. As to iron and steel, prices are linn, with smiie advances, and inquiries are increasing. The de mand is active, and idle furnaces are being repaired and blown in. Lumber is mo'"i':g freely : and South ern cotton mills are well supplied with orders, and feu' the most part are running on full time The announcement of the purpose of Italy to abandon Red Sea colony of Eritrea conveys no news. The abaudonmeut of that ill starred colonial venture was the issue in the election of March, 1S!0, when the Marquis of Rudiui gained his overwhelming victory over Signor Cripi. The statement that Italy is negotiating a transferor her African possessions would be news, how ever, if it should prove to be true. That Belgium could desire to add Italy's African burden to her own cumbersome possession, the Kongo Free State, is almost incredible. The Japanese, in their eminently practical way, propose to develop the Island of Formosa, which was transferred to them as a part of the Chinese war indemnity, by building 1200 miles nf ra'lroad to facilitate trade. The railroads will also make it easier to preserve internal order. The rapidity with which Japan is constructing railways and building up its mercantile marine, is one of the later wonders of the world. Un der ordinary conditions the geo graphical nearness of Japan to the United States should m:,ke this country the natural source of supply for all the iron and steel equipments of these ships and railroads The Canadian government is evincing commendablp energy in its effort to establish telegraphic com munication with the Yukon gold re gion and in making provision for carrying the mails. It has also sig nified the humane intention, con jointly with the United States, to erect suitable places for shelter at intervals of from 40 to 50 miles along tbe route which may be adopted for forwarding the mails by dog trains during tbe winter. 1 is now very certain that no amount of govern ment precaution and provision will serve to, prevent the utmost Lard- iship and sufTering 00 the part . , ..nnrpnart!i ad venturer .v who will flock to inhospitaple Alaska in search of gold. Desperation has already led to crime, and crime to sudden death, up in the Alaskan wilderress. One poor fellow, having exhausted bis supply of provisions, stole a side of bacon and was summarily shot. In view of the fact that a large propor tion of the gold hunters are provided with barely enough food to last through a tramp 'to Dawson uuder the most favorable conditions, law lessness and suffering are bound to supervene in front of the blockaded passes when supplies shall run short.
