THE PRESENT Congress promises to
equal, II, indeed, 1t does not surpsss, all
its predecessors in the number OF
special pension bills. On the fret day
OF the session no less than 2,160 bills
granting pensions or increasing PEN
slons already granted were offered in
the House. About one.third of the
bills proposed to correct" the military
record OF the person named. That
means that the soldier named in the
bill was either a deserter or that there
is some other flaw in the mans record,
as the result of which the Pension
Bureau has refused to issue pension.
The passage of the bill to wipe out this
stain Is the preliminary step to placing
the man on the pension roll; it Is 10
effect, therefore. bill to give the man
a pension. Special bills to pension
veteran are only passed by Congress
when the applicant has failed to meet
even the lax requirements Of the PEN
sion Bureau.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

The Constitutional Convention de-
voted it's time on Saturday to discus.
sion OF resolution offered by Mr..
Qusrles providing that section s OF the
judiciary report, providing "a court cir.
cults, be recommitted.
The feature of the day was discus.
sion between Messrs. Qusrles and
Braxton over the question OF retaining q
city court 10 Staunton. Mr.. Qusrles
said he did not think Stsunton needed
a corporation court; that no business
man of Stanton wanted 1t, and the
court was kept up to give the Judge sd
office. He declared that the committee
had forced court on Stauntou that the
people did not want. He then
criticized the eighteenth circuit, com.
posed OF Rockingham, Augusta and
Rockbridge counties, and contended
that no one judge could transact the
business OF that circuit.
Mr.. Quarles insisted that what
Stsunton and other cities OF her size
needed and wanted was a circuit court
which could transact ell the business
and would not require the cities to pay
the salaries. No vote was taken on the
Quarles resolution.
Mr.. Thom presented q petition from
the Wholesale grocers and tobacco
dealers of Tidewster Virginia In favor
OF the passage Of the Withers railroad

Tha Shin Subsidy Bill.

Washington, Dec. 9.-Senstor Frye
today introduced the new ship subsidy
bill. 10 form 1t differs radically from
the ship subsidy bill of the past two
sessions. 1t is much shorter and
simpler, and is divided into four titles,
10 sections. 10 all about 200 words.
The Frye bill does not provide Ameri-
can registry for foreign chips owned by
Americans. 1t makes no distinction
between fast and slow steamers, ex.
cept as the former may obtain mail
contracts under the act of 1891. II
contains no specific requirements for
export cargo, on the grounds that II
would be violation or attempted
evasion OF our treaties. and further il
Ia necessary because the subsidy is so
low that ample cargo must be carried
in order to escape loss. Uoder the bill
the postmaster general is required to
consider the national defense and the
maritime interests of the United States,
as we'll as postal interests, in providing
for the transportation Of American
ocean mails. The present limit OF
ocean mail contracts, ten years, is ip-
creased 10 fifteen years. The Frye
bill provides seven distinct classes OF
mail. The bill leaves mail by fast
vessels OF the present rates and reduces
mail pay for slower and smaller steam
srs. The rates fixed by the bill are
maximum rates. Mail contracts are
open to competition and will be award.
ed at rates az much below the maxi.
mum as will secure an American mail
service. Any vessel to receive the
general subsidy must carry mails, il
required; must train 10 seamanship or
engineering one American youth for
each 1000 tons. The owner must
agree to hold the vessel at the service
Of the government, II required for de-
tense. Any vessel to receive subsidy
must be class Al, and ct least one
fourth OF the crew must be Americans.
