New York in full Republican commun-

torney general and he agreed with the
Democrats in condemning General Sher-
idan's course in Louisiana. There are
many other conspicuous and ardent
Republican leaders of to-day who
have bolted the party candidates
and have even voted for Mr..
Tilden and other Democrats. Their party
detection for the time was absolute. 1t
was very much more definite and COM
plete than Mr.. Plumb's. Mr.. Plumb
has voted for smaller duties on crockery
and he has expressed a belief that the
people of the United States may have
a chance. But he has not voted against
the tariff bill, and even if he should
vote against it, his offense would still
fall short of the offenses of those who al

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-The Raum
investigating committee met this MORN
ing in the pension building for the pur-
pose Of taking the testimony of the 13S
clerks, who, it was charged, received
promotions by reason of their purchas-
ing stock in the Universal Refrigerator
company. The committee, however,
decided not to call any clerks for exam
ination for the following reasons :
"General Raum requested the commit
tee to subpoena every employee OF the
pension department who had been pro-
NOTED under his administration of office,
to disprove the charge that any such en-
ployees have purchased or held stock in
the Universal Refrigerator company, or
had been promoted by reason thereof.
The committee declined to comply with
his request on the ground that it would,
in their opinion, judging from the evil
dence already taken, be useless con-
sumption of time and needless ex-
pense. The committee then adjourned.
This practically closes the investigation.

THE TARIFF BILL.
1t May and 1t May Not be Speedily
Disposed Of

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 12.-This
morning the ways and means committee
held session to discuss the senate
amendment to the tariff bill. AS the
bill itself had not reached the commit
tee, no formal conclusions could be
noted, and the proceedings were entire
ly confined to general discussion.
There was a practical agreement that
the amendment should be consid
cred by the committee instead of
acceding at once to the re-
quest of the senate for
a conference. There was pronounced
disposition on both the Republican and
Democratic sides, to hasten action in
the committee as much as possible.
Some Democratic members say if it
should be attempted in the house to
pass the threatened resolution to inter
fere with the Ohio congressional dis
trict, as established by the last gerry
mander, or force through other pro
nounced partisan measures, resort will
be had to all parliamentary means to
obstruct the tariff bill.

The sharp denunciation which is di-
rected at Senator Plumb, Mr.. Halstead,
and other Republican dissenters from the
strict letter of the tariffand election bills
reminds the Herald and other observers
of the fact which Colonel.Higginson used
to remark in 1884, that boilers, if they
repent, are readily forgiven. In this
state Mr.. Hiscock, Mr.. Depew and Mr..
Reid are among the most eminent and
honored Republicans. They are also
amongst the most severely orthodox.
But they all resolutely opposed the Re
publican presidential candidate in 1872.
Mr.. Depew was the unanimous choice
of the New York Republican delegation
in the convention of 1883 for President.
Yet in 1872 he was the candidate for
lieutenant governor on the Democratic
ticket. Mr.. Evarts is senator from

A Sample of the st. Paul Census Frauds
Silver Offerings, Etc.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-Superintendent
Porter today received the following tele-
gram from James H. Ward, in charge of
the recent recount of the population OF
the city of St. Paul. ''No person re-
turned from Catholic parochial school or
Union depot building; three enumerat-
ed in Globe, building, 151 in Hotel Ryan,
none in Pioneer Press building. In the
first enumeration 257 persons were re-
turned as residents at the parochial
school; 245 at the Union depot, 553 at
the Hotel Ryan, ITO at the Pioneer
Press building.
The silver offered to the treasury
today aggregated 43l 900 ounces; the
amount purchased, 32l 900 ounces, at
$1.156 to $1.1575.
Owing to indisposition, Senator
Mcpherson has been excused from the
conference committee on the tariff bill,
and Voorhees, substituted.
Senator Ingalls, bill to apply the
general laws of Oregon, so far as ap-
plicable, to the district of Alaska, and
authorize the United States circuit court
of Oregon to try cases arising in Alaska,
was sent to the senate judiciary COM
mittee, Chairman Platt, of the territories
committee, reporting that his committee
did not properly have jurisdiction of the
bill. The object of this measure is to
secure judicial determination by the
United States supreme court, of the
rights of the United States in Bering
sea.
Chairman Bingham, of the postoffice
committee, today introduced in the house
a Joint resolution to authorize the post
master general to transport Australian
closed mail from San Francisco to New
York for Great Britain, at reduced rates,
in order to secure the cooperation OF the
