The constitutional convention, yes

took up the consideration OF the report
OF the committee on education. No
material amendments were adopted.
The section relating to the composition
of the State board OF education was re-
com United. The object of reoommitting
was to enable the committee to adopt
new plan which is more acceptable to Q
large number Of the members than that
adopted by the convention.
An attempt was also made to recon.
NIT the section of the committees re-
port providing for the election by the
people OF the Safe superintendent Of
Instruction. 10 view Of the expected
modification of the membership OF the
central board Mr.. Meredith thought
that maybe the committee would pro-
vide for some other method OF electiDg
the head of the educational department.
The convention, however, did not re-
commit that section OF the report az
suggested.

refused 10 take the revenue derived

The switohnen's Strike.

Pittsburg, Nov. 26.-The threatened
strike OF the switchmen employed oD
the railroads centeriDg in PittsbuTg was
declared this morning, but the service
on the big lines has not yet been
interrupted. Possibly 500 men are
out today, but the effect oil their
strike can scarcely be noticed at

panies. All the big lioes running into
Pittsburg are prepared to fight the

tons today the railroads will be the vim
uers in the battle. All the lines, anti
cipating the trouble, have secured extra
men aud the places OF the strikers have
been promptly filed. 10 several OF the
Yards there has been some delay. due
to the fact that the new men were not
accustomed TO their duties, but on the
whole, thestrike has fallen far short OF
even what the railroads feared. The
Pennsylvania Railroad officials are in

an ample number OF men to fill ali posi-

TITS openly asserted Ia New YORK
financial circles that a great American
steamship trust has been formed, de-
pendent on the passage OF the ship
subsidy bill. This bill will probably
pass as there will be "something in IL"
for its advocates and those opposed to
a tariff reduction say the payment OF
subsidies to ships will be q good way to
reduce the surplus now 10 the treasury.
But without subsidies the steamship
lines are now making big profits and the

COMMISSIONER EvANs's report shows
that on June 80 there we're 097, 7S5 PEN
sloners on the rolls, an increase OF 42O6
over the preceding year. 1t Is another
"hiQh.water mark" in the history OF
the bureau though the people were
told years ago that the number of PEN
sioners would then begin to decrease.
The number OF original applications
this year was 5S,S73. of which 14,l6l
were Spanish war veterans. The num-
Der of claims fled as q result of dis
abilities incurred 10 the Spanish war
was AZ, 71O, or about 20 per cent OF the
number OF volunteers enlisted. The
history of one of the volunteer reRi-
ments In the war with Spain is cited to
show the conditions which promote the
filing of claims for pension. This regi-
ment had hity-three commissioned
officers and 937 enlisted men and served
about six months In 1898. Up to June
80. 1901, AT claims for pension had
been filed on account of disabilities con-
tracted 10 said service. At this rate the
children born today will not live TO see
