Prof. James Bryce, IN that sugres-

Acquainted as we all are, observes
the Providence (R. L. Journal, with
the efforts that are being made by a
small class to secure the suffrage for
women, and to make her sphere more

probable that we have not realized how
steadily during the last generation her
position has improved in this country,
or how favorably it compares with her
lot in other lands. 1t seems to be evil

find remunerative employment In intel.

pursuits than in any part of Europe.

A GENUINE SURPRISE.
Green b. Raum, OF Illinois, Ap.
pointed In Tanners
Place.
The Appointment Looked Upon
as a Good One-Tanner
Likes It, Too.
The Ex-Conmissioner Out in Another
Letter Regarding His Differences
With Secretary Noble.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-The president
has settled the long controversy over the
appointment of commissioner of pen
sions to succeed James Tanner, resigned,
by the appointment of Green B. Raum,
Of Illinois, ex-member Of congress, and
ex-commissioner of internal revenue.
In none Of the speculation about the sue
cession to Commissioner Tanner has the
name of Mr.. Raum figured prominently
until Friday night, and then the possibil-
ity of his appointment was discussed by
few. Mr.. Raum's appointment as COM
missioner Of pensions came as genuine
surprise to most Of those interested.
GREEN B. RAUM
was born in Golconda, nls., Dec. 8, 1899.
He was admitted to the bar in 1853. In
1856 he removed with his family to Kan
sas, where he made himself obnoxious to
the pro-slavely faction. The following
year he returned to Illinois and settled at
Harrisburg. He entered the army as
major Of the Fifty-sixth Illinois regi-
ment. He was made brigadier general
of volunteers on Feb. Is, 1865, which
commission he resigned May 6. He
served in congress from March 4, 1857,
till March 8, 1869. In 1876 he was presi-
dent Of the Illinois Republican conven-
ton, and in the same year delegate to
the national convention Of the Republi-
can party at Cincinnati. He was ap-
pointed commissioner of internal revenue
Aug. 2, 1876, and retained the Office until
May 81, 1883. During this period he
collected SS50,000, 600 and disbursed
SIC, 900, 900 without loss. On his retire
ment from the internal revenue office
Gen. Raum began the practice of law in
the District of Columbia, which he has
continued until the present day.
NOBLE FEELS MUCH RELIEVED.
Secretary Noble, speaking of the selec-
ton Of Gen. Raum, said he was chosen
from number of excellent men and he
thought would make a commissioner
satisfactory to the country. He felt
much relieved now that commissioner
of pensions had been selected by the
president.
DEPARTMENT OFFICERS ARE PLEASED.
Assistant Secretary Bussey, who has
immediate charge over pension matters,
is well pleased with the selection of Gen.
Raun1, and says he is certain he will so
conduct the work Of the pension office rs
to give general satisfaction to all.
Among interior department officials the
selection is well received.

CRONiN CASE CORNERED.

Two Confessions I'm the Hands Of the
Prosecution That Will Clear Up the
Mystery.
CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-The Globe says the
attorneys for the state in the Cronin case
are now in possession of two confessions
which will probably clear up the entire
plot to murder Cronin. One is from a
man who belonged to the inner circle of
Camp 20-John F. Beggs-and was
senior guardian Of the camp, and conse-
quently the head center of the internal
secret executive that ordered DR.. Cronin's
murder. The other is a man at present
unknown, who was connected with
Coughlin, Sullivan, Burke and others in
executing the order. The latter was not
indicted with the other five men now on
trial with them. If his information
proves correct he will save his neck. The
former knows nothing of the murder
beyond the order of the inner circle of
the camp, and for his information, if it
proves reliable, the states attorney will
ask a nolle on his behalf just before the
case is finally given to the jury.

About forty persons are living on the

unbelieving farmer went into the
grounds Tuesday to get someone to sow
wheat for him. The first person he
accosted was a camp attendant, who

poses. The fact is, was not, in'the full

extension of that road to the seaboard.
Charters for links of railway in On.
tario and Quebec will be asked
of the government, and Gaspe, in
the Gulf Of St. Lawrence, may
soon be made a winter port.
At all events the Northern Pacific is de-
termined to have shorter Eastern connec.
tions than the Canadian Pacific, and it is
said to be about purchasing the Tennis
couata railway from the Riviere du Loup
to Edmundston, N. B. The nature Of
the alleged agreement between Premier
Mercier and the Northern Pacific peo-
pie is not yet made public, but will
doubtless inuolve very large land grant

DULUTH, Mimi, Oct. M.-The chamber
Of commerce has received a communica-

capitalist, asking cooperation in the for.
nation Of new railway to be known as
