Just score another for us.
The koine plaj crs once more left the-ball
grounds yesterday
with victory, perched
en their banners, and
fe v victory at that.
"? IP -1! " ,na" ue noted
vS l'1 os a matter of hi-tory
that sound, hard hit
ting just at a stage
when it was needed
did the damage.
Every day the -fact is
being emphasized
that, ithilc. brilliant
E 6 lidding is a very nlco
c? , and "essential thing,
- -tiuil.n hard Kicking is the
" V? ilcment that throws
VSonstcniation into the ranks of the enemy.
-This, great-thing of banking tho balls out, or,
as Peso Browning Mould say, "Lining 'cm
'out,' Kld its- tale again yesterday in veiy
loud tone-.
But the- aggregation of sluggers now
lciiown as the "l'ittbnrg" arc liable at uny
'stage-to light onto the very best of people
and knock the covers off a dozen of balls,
"in one inning yesterday they let looo on
suchnvcrj smooth article as Robert Ca-
ruthcrs mid he was almost knocked outot
tight micrj short space oi time.
. " " riiclinrd Crack t
in rauid sucee'-ioii was what Bobby hadto
.stand and he couldn't make a better of it.
Thcro have been time- when Robert with all
.his Parisian prestigo could keep the best of
people guc Jng when he was in the box.
'But jesterday ho fell among J. Palmer's
Philistines, and they left very little gilt on
"him t lien, they w ere through with him. '
But the contesf -wa- not a ltod. one despite
the slugging of the' home players. The
weather was bad: in fact.bad enough to keep
"the attendance down to about DOO people.
Atone time it looked a-if there would not
be a game at all, so threatening was the rain.
The ground-, too, ere inanawful condition,
and fielding and ba-c l turning were very
diilictilt things to do indeed. Pools of water
yore nniucruu- in the outfield and the mud
was about ankle deep it round the diamond.
Carroll-proved" hnn-elf a 'remarkable good
mud hor-e,n be unilc'a brilliant catch of it fly
ljy plunging iuto.i deep poolof water. Fred's
heroic effort was cheered to tho .echo, and
lie deer ed all the applause he got, becauso
had he failed to catch the fly the result
would eeitainh hae been very disastrous.
King did fiurly w ell, but at stages he was
Jiit vesv ircclv and he also gave more bases
on balls than is his wont. Ho wa well sup
ported as tho score and summary will show.
Sialic a Game I'iglit,
The visitors made a real plucky uphill
'fight of it'and not until their very last man
w as"out did their hopes vani-h. They aioa
goodlot of piajervandccrtainl will knock
some people out before the season is ocr.
They are good mud horses and they played
ye-icrdaj s game w ithout an error.
In the "first inning, the proceeding com
menced as if the home players were going to
commit terrible damage. Miller got his base
on balls and Becklej lollowcd with a hit to
right field that under ordinary circum
stances would lntve-been a splendid two
JiaggPi, But the lull lay where it fell. and
JScekley onlj made a base on it. Browning
made a sacrifice hit and Carroll followed
with a rasping tv. o-bjgger to right and those
two plays -coied Millei and Beckley.
In the second half ot the inning, after
Collins was out, V aid'- plajers thieatened
to knock out oui star tw irler. Griffin sent
out a good double to Maul, and Foutz fol-
jou ins-example, juttii jtiugeu routzs
erv badlv or eNe it should nave been a
01 cottise, Gnftin scored, and .a good
lie bv Bums scored Foutz. This was
quite licly, indeed, but the next two men
Were put out in order and the score was
tied.
In the second inning tho visitors had the
audacity to take t'i lead by one run.
ltoill V fumble allow ed Ward to reach first.
Then Kinsiow's ilj was caught by Maul,
and Caruthers got his base on balls. "Brow n
ing caught Collins' fly, and Giillin loomed
up again, making a single to lelt, scoring
"Hard.
Had Very Sweet Keicnge.
In the way of sweet rovenge for this one
mil business in the second, tho hoinepUiy
ers let thcm-el e loose in the third, and
kept the ball flying all over the lot. Beck
ley led oir, and was put out at first. Then
Browning made a bant and stole second.
Carroll struck out, and things looked blue.
But Bierbaticr banged out a single to mid
dle, and Maul follow ed withanothcr to right.
Then Berger thumped nnotherto left, and to
crow n.all this thumping and banging, our
Mr. Iteilly yanked out a corking three-bagger
to lelt All this, earned lour very big urns.
King retired the side by sending a fly out to
Burns, i . .
Both pitchers now settled, down, and ran
getting was scarce. In tho sixth inning
Fiiiekney. single, a wild pitch and a single
by Carntheis netted another run for the vis
)tois..itnd thcvdidn t store again, although
they looked like it cm s or tw ice.
In tho eighth inning Browning led off with
a two. bagger to lett Held, and got to third on
a w ild'pik-h. He scored on Carroll's single
to left. The score:

THE BALL PLATZES WON.
They Capture an Exciting Game of .Water
Polo at the "atatorium.
Despite tho inclement weather a crowd of
some 100 persons, including many ladies, at
tended the natatorium last evening to wit
ness tho sports promoted by Manager Fred
Goodwyn. The first eveuO 'on, the pro
gramme was a four lengths race, Knglish
racing stroke style, between John Tavlor,
Joseph McLw en and C-. J. Bruce, they finish
ing in the order named. This was followed by
an exhibition of lancy swimming'by Master
Harry Goodwyn, aged 8 years, after which
Prof. Fox swam three lengths of.thc bath a
di-tance of 201 feet under water, and suc
cessfully accomplished the feat of diving
"Irom the roof of the building. A race of
four lengths, American oveihnnd stroke
stjle, between W. Flowers and K, Ilidlev,
was on easily by -Flowers.
Then came tho "water polo match between
the Allegheny Baseball Club nnd the nata
torium team, and a most exciting and amus
ing contest resulted. The ball tosscrs pla ed
together' remarkably well, and, although
Hard pressed ut times by their op
ponent", they, according to the decision of
the Tclorec, Jimmv Gnlvin, won by three
goals to nothing. Manager GoodwjiVs men
played w ell, although thev lacked the com
bination play ot. the b.iseballists. Judging
by the applause the new gumo is bound to
become exceedingly popular, nnd already
there are three wuterpolo teams in course of
lormation.

FRANK SLAYItf MUST MEET THE WESTER
San Fbancisco, May 21 Tho. great fight
between Peter Jackson, champion colored
pugilist of the world, and James Corbett, of
this city, took place hore this evening. The
purse was $10,000, the losfer to receivo $1,500 of
it. Corbett weighed 187 and Jackson was ten
pounds'h ea vier.
The' California Club last night appointed
Hiram Cook referee. Jackson was seconded
byam Fitzpatrick and'Billy Smith. Cor-i
bett's seconds were John Donaldson, Billy
Delaney and Harry Corbett.
Jackson and CorBett arrived at tho club
rooms about 8 o'clock. They entered tho
building without attracting much attention
and went to their dressing rooms immedi
ately. The betting this ovoning is generally
tlrcsamo odds in Jackson's favor which has
prevailed during tho past 24 hours; $100 to
ifWl nnd $100 to $C5 were usual figures.
After the gloves w ere adjusted the men ad
vnncod and shook hnnds. Time was called
for the first round at MO.
Tho first eight rounds were spent in each
man trvimr to find the others' measure.
Jackson tried and failed to "get at" Corbett.
The rounds were even, nnd poth men. were
not in the least distressed.
The ninth nnd tenth rounds were some
w hat oven, but Jackson got tw o good cracks
on Coibctt's neck. Up to tho sixteenth
round matters weie very even, but in the
seventeenth.round the contestants began to
uo nusmess, anu uacKson urew nrsi oioou.
Up to the twentieth round there was more
feinting and sparring, .and matters wore
about even. Both men were cheered, par
ticularly Corbett, who got home some tine
hits.
In the twenty-second and twenty-third
rounds the black could reach Corbett s neck
and head morp easily than at the outset: His
evident purposo was to get in a knockout
blow. -In too twentv-fourth round Corbett
spit blood freely in his cornel".
Corbett at the closo of the twenty-sixth
retaliated with two vicious" swinging left
handers on-tho black's stomach.
In the twenty-seventh round both men
were fighting fiercely, and Jackson was do
ing all the rushing.
Twenty-eighth Jackson rushed fighting.
Corbett pulled out and gave phenomenal ex
hibition of his powers. Delivered right left
on black's neck and stomach. Got only few
punching blows in return. Great excite
ment. ,
Twenty-ninth round Corbett tried rush
ing and landed hurricane blows. Jackson
got rattled, but sorfn rccoveicd tind landed
on Corbett's mouth with loft and right.
Clinched frequently and both suffered for
w ind.
In the .thirtieth Corbett .rushed again and
deliveicd se era!, licrco body blows, which
w ere more effective than Jackson's. In the
thtrty-sccond they spar for wind, with no
advantage to either.
In the uext round Jackson pressed the
fighting, reaching for Coibctt's wind and
neck. s

tSrECUL TELEGRAM TO THE DISrATCH.3
Xew York, May 2L Tho most exciting in
cident -at the Gravesend race course this
afternoon was tho attempt of the Western
Union Telegraph Company to get the news
for the poolrooms outside of the track, a
strong corps of Pinkerton detectives
shadowing suspicious persons and making
six or seven tirrdsts. All the men taken into
custody are operators in the' employ -of the
Westorn Union. Boh Piukerton said that he
airestcd the men for throwing-wooden bnlls,
suehasweie lined on the cashier rail In all
the great stores, over the fence. These balls
weigh 11 pound or more, und.'according to
Mr. Pinkerton, one of them struck a pascr
b3' in tho head and stunned him for a mo
ment. Upon it being opened it was found to
contain the betting, Jockeys, starters, and
other information for the pool rooms.
Tho Western Union have run their wires
into the old hotel overlooking tho track, nnd
so fnr havo managed to secure the news for
their patrons. They will bo compelled to re-"

A Sonthside Man Walts ta Meet a-Niece Born
1 After He Came Hero.
A number of old country people, of moro or
less residence in this country, were at tho
Union depot last night to meet the emigrants
who'arrived on Ko. 10. Some of them mot'
their .relations and.boro them away, but
others were not so fortunate.
Among the latter was James McCleman, of
the Southsldc, ,a hale and hearty-looking
Scotchman, who said ho was awaiting his
niece.
"I came to this country before she was
born," ho safd, "and I wrote her I would
meet her here. Sho is coming over by her
self." "But how do yon expect to recognize a
person you never saw, or hope she can recog
nizcyouT" was' asked.
The old man looked puzzled; ho, didn.'t
'see how it was possible.
"Well, if we don't- get to know each other
here wo will when she gets home, for she has
tho address, anyway."
The girl did not arrivo at the Union depot,
and as the Baltimore and Ohio train came
in at 7:35, she doubtless made her way in
safety to theTweuty-sevcnth street block on

Cincinnati,' May 2L Bright and early to
day the new National Executive Committoo
got togothcr for their first meeting in a narrow-little
hotel parlor. They did not seem
to mind tho stuffy quarters, but went to
work with a vim. Everybody but members
of tho committee was excluded. The first
thing In order was the election of a Secre
tary, and - Treasurer . -of the committee.
After considerable discussion tho choice
foil . 'on . Robert . Sclrtlling, , of Mll
waukce, as Secretary, and ,M. C. Rankin, of
Torre Haute, Jnd.,'as Treasurer Both wero
elected unanimously. Tho members then

adjournment of the convention.
Taubcneck, of Illinois, Presides.
Tho meeting 'of the. National Committee
was presided over.with unexpected effect
iveness by Chairman Tnubcneck, the big,
unsophisticated looking fanner whose re
cent experience of sharp parliamentary
praotico in tho Illinois Legislature during
the memorable Senatorship contest served
him in good stead now.
It was resolved to authorize tho Chairman
and Secretary to issue a call for volnntary
contributions, to bo kept standing, on all
reform papers. Itjvas also resolved that a
National Executive Committee be formed,
to consist of the Chairman, Secretary, Treas
urer and four members td be elected by this
committee. The four elcclcd nro George F.
Wnshurn, Massachusetts: G. F. Gaithcr,
Alabama: Ignatius Donnelly, Minnesota; J.
II. Davis, Texas
Tho committee adjourned subject to the
call af the Executive Committee. This com
mittee met immediately afterward and
elected E. Robert Schilling. Permanent Sec
retary, and M. C. Rankin Permanent Treas
urer, and adopted the following resolution:
"Whereas, It is necessary, lor success in
1S92 that the entire 'Union sh'ould be at onco
systematically organized; therefore,
"Resolved, That tho three members of the
Nationul Committee of the People's Party In
each State shall constitute a Stato Commit
tee for such State, and it shnll bo their duty
to appoint a sub-committcc."
Trades Unions Take a Hand.
A special telegram to TnE Dis,r.vrcn from
Columbus says: Information is furnished at
tho general offices of tho United Sline Work
ers that in case tho Alliance Conference at
Cincinnati comes out for'a third ora People's
party, the oxecutivo officers of the great
national trades unions "wore to take a hand.
Tho question is to be submitted to the local
unions whether they are in favor of joining
the People's mqvement for political action.
If the replies nro favorablo they will commit
tho National Trades Union to tho new party.
Tho reason given for this action is the
leaders do not wish to obstruct or hinder'tho
expression of tlie will - of tho .members
of their respective organizations in this
matter, but, on the contrary,' wish to afford
them an opportunity to decide for them
selves what course tf;ey will pursue. Thero
is said to be little doubt that.the National
Brotherhood of Carpenters and' Joiners of
America, with its 100,000 members, will bo
the first to declare in favor of the new
movement, with probably the United Mine
Workers to follow.
Secretary Foster States nis Views.
A dispatch from Washington snyS: "Tlio
broad and generous public policy of tho
Republican party is such," said Sec
retary t3f tho Treasury Foster to a
reporter, "that thero is no room for
a third, party. A now political or
ganization could not do anything necessary
to our .national comfort or prosperity with
out stealing Republican thunder. The wild
schemes o these third-party advocates,
such as the londmg of Government funds on
real estate or personal property, cannot
have lodgment in the minds ot sensible peo
ple, and movoments based on these eccen
tricities oro necessarily short-lived and
cphcnieral. I am, 'therefore, not surprised
at tho news which comes from Cincinnati of
great dissensions, marked differences of
opinion as to politics to bo adopted, and
much variableness as to tho time whon this
new third party should bo formed.
Thero is disagreement enough in 'tho'
aggregation at Cincinnati to mako
half a dozen parties. . It seems to
me that the organizers will find it quite a
difficult feat to unite saloon keepers, and
prohibitionists, and woman suffragists,-nnd
those who opposo them, with tho myriad
schemes recently proposed, for tho alleged
relief of what the schemers are pleased to
term the distress of' tho people. I havo
much moro faith in good crops and good,
prices produced by honest labor than I
have in any of the so-called means of relief
espoused by the ladies and gentlemen in
session ac.cincinnau.
Providence and the McKlnley B1U. ,
"Providence is giving us good crops, and
thoMcKinlcy bill will give ns, good prices.
Thfs means that President .Harrison will be
renominated and the Republican party will
bo triumphant at the next election. And
tho third party? That will be' all right. By
that timo the prosperity of Its membership,
in common; with all other inhabitants of
this country, will be such that I doubt not
that thousands of them will visit Washing
ton on tho occasion of tho President's rein
auguration. They will be heartily wel
comed." '.'I do not look unkindly on this third party
movement," said Senator William E. Chand
ler, this afternoon. "It is a movement of
reason. Their platform, which I glanced at
rather hastily, stroctt mo ns being danger
ous, with tho posslbioexception of the plank
relating to the Government control of rail
roads, and the first part of that resolution
has a good deal of sound sense in it. Taking
out this railroad plank, there is nothing left
to which any considerable portion ot tho
American people will subscribe."
Colonel Whitfield, the First Assistant Post
master General, in speaking of the now
party, said ho did not Know Irom which of
tho two old parties tlioy would draw their
Strength, but it had always been the rule in
the past that tho adherents, of a new party
como most largely from tho Republican
party.
Old Parties Know Where They Stand.
At any rate, he thought that both parties
would go into the fight under more favor
ablo auspices than was tho case last fall,
whon it was not known actually what tho
Farmer's Allianco men wero or what they
wanted. ,
"Yes, I am aware of the fact that there is
a third party," said Representative Crain, of
Texas. "It will help the Democrats and
hurt tho Republicans only that and noth
ing more."

LIBERAL TO SCHOOLS.
AN INCREASE OF 83,000,000 IN THE AN
NUAL APPROPRIATION.
Philadelphia Members Oppose the Amend
ment, but It Goes Throngh A Differ
ence of Opinlon'on the Revenues for the
Next Two Years to Come. '
IlAn.nis.BUno, May 2L If tho House. .gets its
way and tho Treasury holds out thero will
be Stato aid galore for public schools. When
the general appropriation bill camo up in
tlio House this morning Chairman
Fruit 'moved to amend by increasing the
annual appropriation for schools from
$4,000,000 to 3,000,000. This means .$10,000,000
for the next twoyears, an increase' of $G,000i
000 over the last appropriation , Messrs'.
Brooks and Fow and other city, members
opposed tho increase. Mr Brooks said
there was not enough money" in sight to
make sMch nn increase, and if It "were mado
many charities must bo cut off without a
cent. ' .
Tho fear that the many city institutions
would be left out In the cold was the motive
which animated tho opposition to the in
crease. Mr. Towler, ot Forest, said tho
money was in sight. Tho Boyer bill wofild
bring in all the money needed
to meet this increased appropriation.
Tho country members' demanded it and
would bo satisfied with nothing less. By
this means tho burdens of local taxation
would bo reduced. If Mr. Fruit had not
offered tho amendment he would have done
so himself. - '
The Amendment Passes.
After considerable talk tho amendment
was carried, not eyen those who had op
posed it voting against it. It passed finally
at tho night session. In connection
with this bill, Chairman Fruit fur
nishes some figures. He says the
total . amount appropriated by the
the last Legislature and approved by the
Governor was $15,237,701 8L The reve
nues were more than sufficient to meet this
sum, and they will not be any less during
the next two years under tho present laws.
If tho Boyer bill passes the revenues 'will bo
increased at least t6,000,000. '
Tho change in sinking funds methods will
render $C00,000 more available for general
purposes. The committee has recommended
an extraordinary appropriation, aggregat
ing over $2,000,000, including the Johns
town flood bill, chronic insane hos
pital, monuments to Reynolds, Mead
and Hancock, new library -building nnd
deficiencies in National Guard and insane
appropriations. Tho last general appropria
tion bill aggregated $10,535,318; tho present
one $10,32S,33L To the hitter must be added
the $0,000,000 proposed increase in tho public
school appropriation.
The Revenue for Two Years.
Mr. Fruit estimates that the revenue for
the noxt two years, if tho Boyer bill passes,
will bo about $22,000,000. The appropriation's
recommended by this committee aggregate
.between $22,000,000 and $23,000,000. Mr. Wherry
claims that the greatest possible increase un
der the Boyer bill cannot exceed $2,750,000.
Fiom this must be deducted $300,000 for retail
licenses and $250,000 on porsonal property
tax, both retained bv tho counties, which
will leave only $2,195,000 to meet the $3,000,000
Increase to public schools. As the State nnd
'charitable appropriations already exceed
tho present revenues $1,750,000, nothing will'
be left for tho Governor to do but cut off all
private appropriations.
Treasurer Boyer also opposes the extra
two millions to public schools. Ills bill will
add but four millions to the revenues for
the next two years aud ho thinks, in view of
that, thero is no use appropriating six
millions.
BAKES IB GREATLY TICKLED.
Tho Amendments Made to His Ballot BlU
Meet His Most Hearty Approval.
Harrisbcro, May 2L It is possible that
tho lion and tho lamb may. yet lie down
together and pillow their heads upon the
amended Baker ballot bill. "I am tickled
to death with it," was Mr. Baker's remark
to-day, after ho had carefully read
ovcry amendment inserted in his measure
by the Scnato Elections Committee. He had
feared tluit they would bo of a. most un
satisfactory character, but says that tho
9torm of indignation raised by the news
papors has had its effect, and, with thrcq cx-cepHons.'-the
changes made' will Have his
support. These are the amendment that the
bill shall not go into effect until March 1, 1892,
instead of July 1, 1891, that which provides
that all nominations, regular and independ
ent, must bo filed within the same period of
time, and section 27, which permits a voter
who declares that for any cause ho desires
assistance to take another voter into tho
booth with him to aid in preparing his
ballot.
Mr. Baker holds that independents should
havo at least ten days' more timo than the
regular political parties in which to fllo
their nomination papers. Otherwise, b3- de
lay in their convention until the day beforo
the expiration of the limit fixed for filing
nomination papery, the old parties could
prevent independent nominations being
made He also maintains that to permit u
voter, unless physicallv disabled, to take
anyone into the booth with him, simply
opens the door wide to bribery. Ho is
anxious that these points of difference may
be compromised, as ho strongly favors the
remaining provisions of the bill.
A HYBTEBIOTJS MEASUBE.
No One Appears to Know Jnst Who Is
Asking for tho Passage of It,
Harbjsburo, May 2L Tho bill introduced
by Senator Grady to oxempt from taxation
all property, real, personal and mixed,
owned or held by posts of tho G. A. R., has
been reported affirmatively from the Houso
Military Committee. This bill, in the opin
ion of some of the leading members of
both Houses, is clearly unconstitutional.
Section 1, of Article 9 of tho Constitution,
plainly specifies what property shall be
exempt from taxation, and tho section spe
cifically declares that all laws exempting
other property than this shall bo void.
Neither is thero any demand for its passage
so far as can bo learncdf rom tho Grand Army.
Senator Gobin, who is Past Department
Commander, says he knows of no demand
for it from that body and says tho bill is
Alnnt'lif iininnot"tiii.fntiAl ti slt(n1i nn'n'nn
he is sustained by Senators McCreery and
Thompson, both prominent in Grand Army
circles. Senator Ross, of Bucks, also regards
tho bill as unconstitutional.
Senator Grady says ho introduced the bill
at tho request of some Grand 'Army men In
Philadelphia. It is probable that the bill
will pass tho House as it passed tho Senate,
no ono caring to vote against tho measure
purporting to be in tho interest of the Grand
Army, but it is hoTd to see what advantage
ft is to that body to pass a bill which will
not meet the constitutional test. -

Chairman Eosevelt lays the Case Before tho
Attorney General.
REPORTED RESIGNATION OP GEN. E1DI
'SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TUE DISPATCH.
Washington, May 2L Tho last chapter of
.the story of the Raum family's; doings in aud
out of the Pension Office lias 'not yet been
told. Thero is more trouble ahead for tho
Commissioner and his son, and it is by no
means certain that the former will not fol
low the latter into the retirement of private
life. The Civil Service Commission has at
last been sufficiently aroused to tho neces
sity of protecting tho integrity of tho publio
scrvico to institute an inquiry as to whethes
Green B. Raum Is not liable to civil, prose
cution for violating tho civil service law.
Chairman Rosevelt ban Drought the young
man's conduct and actions with regard to
securing appointments nnd promotions to
.tbeattention of tho Attorney General, with
a request for on opinion as to w hethcr hia
case is not an indictable one.
Commissioner Rosevelt was at the White)
Houso this morning and laid tho matter be
fore the President. Ho strongly urged that
some step bo taken for the protection of tha
integrity of the civil service and the punish
ment of the otTender. As tho Civil Service
Commission is not under tho Jurisdiction of
any of tho departments a request for an
opinion must bo mado through tho Frcai
dent.
Not a .Pleasant Meeting.
This fact may have some 'bearing' on tho
case, in view of tho long interview between,
the President and Commissioner Raum ye
terday afternoon, tho result of whioh is un
known. Tho talk Is nndcrstood not to have
been altogether satisfactory "to -Mr. Raum.
Tho President is said to havo given the Com
missioner a polite berating for having infer
entiallv impeached the farrneHs-of hi supe
rior olHcor, Secretary Noble, In his action in,
tho ease of young Raum.
The Commissioner's Interviews on the sub
ject have all been to tho effect that thero
was no truth in the charges' against Wis son.
and that he was thevictinrora-'cohspiracy,
words that have nettled tho- President and
Secretary Noble beyond the point Of silent
endurance. Commissioner Raunrcallediipon
the President this afternoon, and for nearly
40 minutes answered the many questions
asked by the Chief Executive. It was 3:43
when the Commissioner entered the "Presi
dent's office, and it was nearlv 1:25 when
Raum walked downstairs. The General wns
not on the best of terms with himself. His
mind was evidently busy on other matters
when he told the reporter thttt-the interview
with the President had been a pleasant one
There was a preoccupied air about him that:
wns not appurent when he entered the
President's presence.
Proceedings Against Young Raum.
Civil Service Commissioner Rosevelt wa4
decidedly non-committal when asked to-day
whether there was any fo'undaf ion for tho
rumor that criminal proceedings would bo
lnstitntcd against G. B. Raum, Jr. "This
commission,' said Mr. RoseveU,.,"has made
its report on the matter to the heads of tho
E roper departments." More than, that tho
ommlssloner would not say. It is nnder
stood,however, that- copies of the report
were sent to Secretnry Noble, who called for
young Raum's resignation; to Secretary
Foster, who will, it is believed, remove from
office the colored man Stranm, to ai hom
Smith snid he paid $200 for a position, and to
Attorney General Miller, who has tho legal
end or the case in charge.
General Bussev, Assistant Secrctary'of tho
Interior, who investigated the caso of youn;
Raum and then asked for and ace'epted his
resignation, is still being interviewed and
reiterating his opinion that the accused man
was innocent of the chargos against him.
The General fails to state, however, why, if
Raum was Innocent, he was removed. Per
haps the Assistant Secretary will bo gh en
on opportunity to explain to the President
why he convicted a man, discharged him,
presented him with 30 days' pay ont of sj m
pathy for those who must bear the burden
of his misconduct and to announce publicly
that the victim was innocent.
A dispatch from New Yorksays: A Wash,
ington special to tlio JoiJ raid .ErprM says
that Pension Commissioner Raum has ten
dered his resignation to the President In tho
interest of harmonv.
