Where Troops May Vote.

Pittsbnrg, Pa, July 90 There is strong probability that votes will be cast iii the Philippines, Hawaii, Cuba, Porto Rico and perhaps even in Spain, for Governor of the State If Pennsylvania in Nov ember next. An act of Con- gress, passed in 1861, gave the right 10 pen polling places in the varlous camps throughout tue country. In this way every man who wore the blue cast his ballot just as though he was in lis own precinct or townshl p.
 The conditions are slightly different now, however Just what ought to be, and can be, done to give Pennsylvanians a vote while in the field is the perplexlng question. The The State Republican Commit tie has been the first political body to take the matter I'D. At it's meeting held Tuesday I resolution was passed author izing the appointment of sub- committee to insure the eXer- else of this right to the Penn sylvania soldiers who are now in arms for their country, wheresoever they may be, with out regard 10 zone or hemis- phere. This committee will soon be at work, and if there is any way possible for Pennsyl
 vauia soldiers in this country and abroad to exercise the. right of franchise t will he rut ' in operation.

shipping is an interesting docu- ment in more ways than one, and we believe if the bell1 growers and commission mer chants were to meet each other rather un Xpectedly in the next county there would be an exceedingly warm time or else some very plausible explana- tions regarding certain matters.
 The secretary's statement shows that the returns for the f re part of the berry season were very satisfactory to the grower. bat the returns for the latter part of the season were disa astrous and in a nttmber of cases the berries did not sell for enough to pay transporta tiOn, not 10 mention the cost of crate material and picking. It is estimated that it costs the grower 60 cents per crate to put the berries on the market. If this be true 51 600 crates of berries shipped from this point only netted the growers Sl1, t6S. Their crate bills and other bills considerably le duce this amount. The decrep- ancy in the returns from the commission men on practically the same market and grade of berries cannot but lead one to believe other than that the growers loss has resulted in a profitable season $ business to the commission merchant and a satisfactory balance on the right side of his bank account.
 Tue above is from the Sar coxie, Mo-, Tribune. The Van Baren Press copies it and adds the following:

Granting of Pensions Soon t
 Begin.

Washington, July 2O.-Com- missioner of Pensions Evans is making arrangements for hand ling the pensions growing out of the war with Spain. No pensions nave yet been granted, although about 90 ap- plications have been filed. The delay has been due to the de- sire of the officials to systcmat lze the work and arrangements are being made to have the pen sions of this war handled en- tirely separate from all others. Some time is required to ar range the machinery for this but it Is expected that within 10 days the granting of pen sions will begin.
 No applications have been filed for pensions on account of the killing and wounding ot officers ana men in the Santl ago campaign, all thus far re' ceived being on account o1 deaths in camp and deaths and in, ~ re.-asAoh L.aii"ay coils ions and other accl. .al cauS es.
 The pension roll Is expected to be large in proportion to the duration of the war and ths nnDb Der of men engaged, on ac count of the destructive char acter of modern arms and thu unhealthy climate where mos of the field operations are con ducted.

Secretary of State Alex. c Hull would remind the chair men of the various judicial and senatorial districts that 1t is necessary that they send in to ! his office as soon as possible certificates of nomination of candidates of circuit judge, prosecuting attorney and state senators, together with the re ceipt for S3 from the county treasurer in each county em- braced Tn their respective dis tricts. It may be well for the candidates themselves to look after this important Item, as | their names cannot be certified out to the various counties by the secretary of state to be printed on the tickets until said certificates and receipts are filed with him. Chalrmen will also ember that it is necessary to attach ten cent revenue stamp 10 each certifi- cate, properly cancelled IL R. Gazette.
