A Successor to Tanner.

The president has appointed Gen.
Green B. Raum of Illinois to be COM
missioner of pensions.
General Raum was born in Golcon-
da, Pope County, Illinois, Dec. 3,
1929. He received common school
education, studied law and was ad-
mitted to the bar in 1858. In 1886
he removed with his family to Kan
sas and at once affiliated with the
Free State party. Becoming obnox-
ious to the pro-slavery faction, he re-
turned the following year to Illinois
and settled at Harrisburgh.
At the opening of the civil war he
made his first speech as 'war' dem
ocrat, while he was attending court
at Metropolis, Ill. Subsequently he
entered the army as Major of the Fif-
ty-sixth Illinois Regiment, and was
made lieutenant colonel, then colonel,
and then brevet brigadier general.
He was made brigadier general of
volunteers on Feb. 10, 1865, which
commission he resigned May 6. He
served under Gen. Rosecrans in the
Mississippi campaign of 1862. At
the battle of Corinth, he ordered and
led the charge that broke the confed-
crate left and captured battery. He
was with General Grant at Vicksburg,
and was wounded at the battle of
Missionary Ridge in November, 1868.
During the Atlanta campaign he held
the line of communication from Dal-
ton to Acworth and from Kingston
to Rome, Ga.
In 1866 he obtained charter for
the Chicago and Vincennes Railroad
company, aided in securing its con-
struction, and became its first presi-
dent. He was then elected to con-
gress, ,and served from March 4, 1867,
till March 3, 1869. In 1876 he was
president of the Illinois republican
convention, and in the same year he
was a delegate to the national con-
vention of that party in Cincinnati.
He was appointed commissioner of
internal revenue Aug. 2, 1876, and
retained the office until May 81, 1888.

soil refused to yield anything, then
to turn over the acres to nature and
let the pines and oaks grow up to
good size, to be cut again and burnt,
adding another soil to be planted to
corn, then sowed to oats and run over
again to be turned back to the trees
and the coons. The soil is largely
clayey and the mud is bad, but it
certainly yields large crops now un-
der the poor system of treatment.
There are not few negro homes
scattered about; but they are about
as tidy and as thrifty in appearance
as other houses.
We found the old camp-ground
near Fairfax Court House. The trees
have been cut away and crop of
corn and of tomatoes was growing
where the 18th Regt. spent some of
the early winter of 1923. Toward
Fairfax Station the forests have been
cleared away and fairly good farms
are seen. We took the train at Fair
fax Station and an hours ride bro't
us back to the City of the great Mon
ument. 1t was day very pleasant
ly spent. Our party divided up in
Washington, Mr.. and Mrs. Guild to
take the early train on Saturday to
run into the wreck; the doctor and
the insurance man to hasten on to
New York, that they might spend
the Sabbath in that pious city, intend
ing to hear the great Talmage in the
forenoon. They. got up early, cross
ed over the great bridge, alas to
learn that the tabernacle was burned
that self-same morning. The minis
ter and the editor and wives returned
to Gettysburgh and spent the Sab
bath there. Monday brought us safe
ly to New York. Tuesday was spent
in sightseeing, etc., till ) p. M,
when the good "City of Worcester"
was found at her moorings ready to
bear us ownward up the East River,
amid the sights and scenes always of
great interest, across the Sound to
New London. An early morning
train bore us swiftly up the Thames
and Williamantic rivers, across the
thrifty state of Connecticut into Mas
sachusetts. Thence it is a short ride
across Massachusetts and the Con-
necticut River to Vermont. The day
was one of the best among the bright
DAYS that have made the last fort
night so agreeable. The clear air,
the bright sun, the tinted foliage, the
varied and always lovely scenery up
the Connecticut and Passumpsic riv-
ers made the ride one of great pleas
ure. We never return to the good
state of Vermont, and, especially, to
the best county in the state, without
feeling of pleasure and though the
world is full of sunny and pleasant
places, there is none to us SO good as
the old home among the green hills.

USED BASE BALL BATS.
Break for Liberty by House O
Refuge Boys, at Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI, o., March 24.-This
morning about IL o'clock, thirty-fve
out of one hundred and sixty boys at
the House of Refuge, made break for
liberty. They were from ten to fifteen
years old, and were under four leaders,
the chief of whom was a negro boy.
These boys, when it came time for
them to retire to their rooms prepara-
tory for dinner, instead of doing SO,
marched in body, armed with base
ball bats to the front entrance, where
they found four guards stationed.
They demanded free passage, but
were driven back. Then they
used bats and rocks, breaking in win
dows and doing damage to the extent of
not above s25. They were so noisy that
their whooping and shouting excited
and alarmed people on the streets. out
side the walls, and caused wildly exag-
gerated rumors to spread, which, reach
ing the ears of the police. caused them
to voluntarily send two patrol wagons
with fifteen officers to the scene. In
less than three-fourthS of an hour from
the outbreak the four ringleaders were
locked up i'll their rooms and everything
was quiet. All except the four con-
splrators appeared at the dinner table
at noon and at chapel exercises in the
afternoon, as usual. The ringleaders
were participants in similar outbreak
two years ago. Supt. Oliver says no one
was even slightly hurt, and that there is
perfect order tonight.

TWO MORE LETTERS,
Pigott's Damaging Letters Still
Turning Up.


LONDON, March 24.-Mr. Lewis. So
licitor for the Parnelltes, writes to call
attention to an ''amazing and important
misstatement" with reference to Pigott
which was made by Attorney General
Webster in the house of commons last
Friday. He says that the letter referred
to by Mr.. Webster as having been
placed in Sir Charles Russelrs hands
five days before Pigott's appearance in
the witness box was letter from Mr..
Soames, solicitor for the Times, to Pig
oft; and, that two other letters, from
Pigott to Mr.. Soames, in which Pigott
admitted that he feared to undergo a
cross-eXamination, were withheld by
the Times lawyers. Mr.. Lewis says it
is fact that neither the counsel nor
the solicitor the Parnellites had notice
of the existence of these two letters
until Pigott had decamped.
Attorney General Webster writes that
he believes he handed to Sir Charles
Russell the letters referred to by Mr..
Lewis, but it will be necessary for him
to consult his shorthand notes before he
can absolutely confirm that belief. In
any case, he says. none of the letters
would have justified the withdrawal of
Figott from the witness box.
Mr.. Soames' letter to Pigott contained
a promise that no harm would come to
Pigott through the latter testifying be-
fere the Parnell commission. There
was no alluslon in the letter to the
character of the evidence, o be given by
PigOtt.

HURLEY, Wis, March 24.-Five hard
rounds were fought this morningsbe-
tween George Curtis, the welter weight,
and Tommy Ward, of Milwaukee, for
purse of $50. Dave Foley, of Bessemer,
was referee. Fred Tebo seconded
Ward, and Billy Campbell Curtis. The
fight began at 12: 15 a. m. and lasted
eighteen minutes. In the first round
Ward led on Curtis ribs and
Curtis countered on Wards ribs. These
were the only blows struck in the
round. In the second round both men
rushed the fighting. Ward forced Cur
tis to the ropes, clinching and wrest-
ing. Both men were knocked to their
knees during the round. In the third
round there was more smuggling.
Curtis closed Wards eye by
an upper cut. The round closed
by Ward striking Curtis foul,
which caused delay of three minutes.
Curtis, however, consented to go on
with the fight. In the fourth round
Ward got in his left ON Curtis eye and
floored him. Both men were winded,
and the round finished without any
other hard work on either side. In
the fifth round both men rushed and
exchanged heavy counters, but were
so groggy that they were scarcely able
to do any effective work. Curtis, by a
chance light blow on Wards neck, put
him to sleep, although Ward seemed to
be the fresher man. The money was
given to Curtis. The latter will wres-

WHIPPED BY BURGESS.
Tom Mcdonald W0rsted in Sun
day Fight.

SOUTH BEND. Ind, March pa
fight for $500 took place in barn in
this city early this morning. The prin-
cipals were Jack Burgess, of Boston,
who once bested lie Blanche, the Marine,
and Tom Mcdonald, of Elkhart,
Ind. The fight lasted eight rounds
and ended in Mcdonald being
knocked out. Burgess was sec
onded by George White and Tom
Mutton, and Mcdonald by Johnny Car
roll and Ed Smith. Billy Lakeman, of
Chicago, acted as referee. At 4:O5
o'clock the men entered the ring, their
hands being covered with skin-tight
gloves. Burgess weighed 1876 pounds
and Mcdonald $50 pounds. The latter
was in the pink of condition, while the
other man looked fat and flabby. Mar
quis of Queensberry rules governed.
Promptly at the call of time the men
jumped to the center of the
ring and commenced sparring for
an opening. Mcdonald led with
his left, but fell short, as also
did Burgess with his left. The latter
received an ugly jab in the stomach,
which made him grnnt, but he ended
the round by sending Mcdonald to the
floor, getting first knock-down. The
second round opened lively, with Bur-
CESS trying to get in Knockout blow,
but received terrible return on the
mouth, which gave Mcdonald first
blood. Burgess cross-countered his OPP
pOnent with his right on the left eye.

third round was all in Burgess favor,
he forcing Mcdonald to his cor
ner with terrible right and left
hand blows and ending the round with
a clinch. In the fourth round both men
came up game. McDonald's condition
showing to his advantage. He caught
Burgess mapping and sent him to his
knees with heavy upper cut. Hard
in-fighting closed the round, both men
blee ding freely. In the fifth round
both men were groggy, but commenced
business Immediately. Burgess re-
ceived another sumner in his bellows
and returned a well-meaning blow,
which was neatly avoided by McDon-
aid ducking. The crowd yelled, Now
you have him, Mac, Burgess re-
piled: "The game is not over yet,'
and ended the round by knocking
Mcdonald over the ropes. and going to
his corner with derisive smile Oh his
face. The sixth round was the only
dull one of the battle, the men sparring
for wind. In the seventh round the
men came up with rush. Mcdonald
receiving blow which nearly floored
him. Both slugged for all they were
worth. Mcdonald being very weak at
the close of the round. The eighth
round was all one-sided, Burgess max
ing a regular chopping block of Nc
Donald, and finally ending the round
with terrific Highlander on the jaw,
knocking Mcdonald senseless and
breaking his jaw.

MAKING NAVAL GUNS.
Work at the Washington Plant
TemDOrariiY StODned

WASHINGTON, March 24.-Work at
the naval gun plant in this city has
been delayed somewhat this week by
the non-arrival of the forgings for the
eight-inch guns. These are contracted
for with the Bethlehem Steel company,
but failure to procure the necessary
material has caused a temporary let
down in the work at the foundry. Con-
gress last year appropriated for the i'm
provement of the plant and the erection
of the buildings $1,000,000, and the last
congress supplemented this sum by
giving S625,000 additional. The bureau
of ordnance contracted some time ago
for the purchase of the improved new
tools and machinery, and it is now be-
ing received. Owing to the buildings
not being entirely finished, none of the
machinery has been set up as yet, but
it is expected the buildings will he
under roof by the latter part of April.
There are now CPS men employed in
the foundry, but owing to the non-ar-
rival of the necessary material, some of
this force has been suspended. This,
however. is ONLY TEMPORARY,

ARE THEY sEAWORTHY?
Naval Commanders Who Spend
Their Time on Land,

WAsHIN GToN, March 24.-The cases
of Commanders Frederick r. Smith and
Geoege w. Wood, of the navy, have
been brought to the attention of Secre-
tary Tracy, and it is likely that action of
some sort will be taken next week.
These officers are borne on the active
list of the navy, but have been on wait
ing orders for the past eight or ten
years. During their career i'll the navy
they have been unemployed, one fifteen
years and three months, and the other
eleven years and six months. Although
Commander Smith stands No. II on the
list of commanders, he has had no sea
service since 1876. and Commander
Wood was last at sea in July. 1875. The
present intention is to shortly order
these officers before a board to deter
mine their fitness to perform duty at
sea.

A TAME DOG FIGHT.
Irish Jack Fails to Come to Time
at the Second Scratch,

Irish Jack and Grover, two thirty-fve-
pound bull terriers, fought at road
house in Anoka county yesterday after
noon. There has been a good deal of.
interest in the fight, but the realizationi
was far below the expectation,
as when each dog had scratched
once and Irish Jack was due
to come up he failed to do so.
A good per cent of the $50 men who
paid cash. expecting to see a good fight
believe that it was fake, as neither OF
the dogs had got hold that would III
Jure the other. The fight was found to
be short one, however, as the room
where it was held was too hot and closet
for long fight. no matter how game
and we'll trained the dogs might have
been. The fight was for $50 side and
gate receipts, which amounted to over
500. Several hundred dollars changed
hands on the result.
The owner of Turk wants to match
his dog against Grover, the winner of
yesterdays fight, at the same weights
forty-eight pounds. His proposition is
to arrange match at s100 a side.

INCREASE THE PENSIONS.
Cor~SraI Tanner Takes This View
of the Case.

of the Case.
WASHINGTON. March 24.-Corporal
Tanner, the newly appointed commits
sioner of pensions, when asked what
policy he would pursue in dealing with
the affairs of the bureau, said: II can
best answer that by quoting one of Gen.
Harrison's remarks made during the
campaign. He said: Gentlemen, it is
no time to use the apothecaries' scales
when you come to weigh the services of
the men who saved the nation.' 1t
seems to me that this is pretty good
motto for all the people of the United
States to adopt. If l were asked to de-
fine my ideas on this pension question
in sentence, l should unhesitat-
ingly reply: "A pension for every
surviving soldier who needs one, and
no soldiers widow, father or mother
should he in want. l am going to take
hold of this mighty machine, and | am
not fool enough to think l have nothing
to learn of its workings"
''Are you in favor of an increase in
the soldiers pensions?"
Il tell you frankly / am opposed to
these 81, 50, and So month pensions.
If you are going to give man any
thing, give him enough that he may
realize he is getting something. If there
is an old soldier who has claim that
you are satisfied is good one, and he
has not quite proved it, my policy is to
assist him to secure that proof. You
may say that am opposed to knocking
out soldiers claims because of a tech
nicai shortcoming."

Harrison Has Means Of Shelving
the Judge

WASHINGTON, March 24.-Just before
President Harrison left indianapolis it
was learned from an unquestionably re-
liable source that. while in that city
trying some cases, Judge Gresham spent
an evening with President Harrison;
that all differences which had existed
between the two had been settled, and
that an understanding had been reached
under which Judge Gresham would be
rendered the first vacancy ON the Su-
preme bench. There is very good au-
thority for the statement that the ar
rangement made at Indianapolis still
stands, and that Judge Gresham will
succeed the late Justice Matthews.
