received to-day show that the spf-
ierage amendment (proposlng the aboli-
ton Of the fifty cents poll tax quallaca'

Owing to the greater interest in the pro-
hibitory amendment the vote on the sut-
frage amendment was last night lost
sight OF entirely in a number OF coun-
ties, but figures received to-day leave no
doubt OF It's defeat notwithstanding the
fact that Philadelphia gave 02,l25 ma
jority for It's adoption. The latest esti-
mate from Allegheny county is 10000
against the poll tax abolition.

the law is as beneficial rs its,friends
claim it to be, why should they not

Commissioner of Pensions Raum
issued his first orders concerning the
methods of business in the Pension
Office this week. One of them pro.
vides that all claims involving
large sums Of money shall, after be.
Ing prepared for adjudication, be
sent to the desk Of the Commissioner
for his approval before the pension
certificate is issued. This involves
a big lot Of very hard work for
General Raum. The Commission
also held a consultation with Secre-
tary Noble in relation to rerated
employees of the Office, but no con-
clusion was reached.
OF the thirty-six war veterans
dismissed from the Treasury de.

The Civil Service Commission
has a pretty fight on its hands now.
1t proposes to prosecute the Old Do
minion League, an association of
Virginia Office holders inviting
them to contribute to the campaign
fund. Neither the men who prepar.
ed and sent the circular, nor those
who receive the contributions are
Office holders, but upon the letter
heads on which the circulars were
printed, are the names of three Of
flee holders who are officers Of the
association. These will doubtless
be the ones selected by the Civil
Service Commission for prosecu-
ton, that is, il the whole thing is
not a bluff on the part of the com.
mission.
