Agent Lemon Said to Have Indorsed
HIS Paper to the Extent of $25, 900.
WASHINGTON, June S.-Pension Commis-
aioner Raum has given out several official
denials Of some of the charges made against
him, but in none of them does he deny the
most important charge, namely, thai
Millionaire Pension Claim Agent Lemon
indorsed accommodation notes for him to
the amount of $4,000. Mr.. Cooper
of Indiana. who offered the
resolution of investigation in the
House yesterday, has gone home for
week. He said before leaving: "It is known
that George T. Lemon has become Com
missioner Raum's surety for large sum of
money, and it is said that he is financially
embarrassed and requires this Endorsement.
Tt is also known that Mr.. Raum has
Issued circular, in which he
sets forth the value of the system now in
use by the Universal Refrigerating Com
pany, which circular was prepared by a
clerk in his Office during Office hours. 1t is
but right that these charges should be in
vestigated. If Mr.. Raum IS innocent then
he ought to desire vindlcation. No, / will
not give the names of the witnesses that
may be called to sustain these charges"
Late tonight Commissioner Raum denied
that Agent Lemon had indorsed notes for
him since he became pension commissioner,
but he would not say that Agent Lemon
had not Endorsed notes for him before he
became pension commissioner, for notes SO
indorsed had been paid.

MILES CITY, MONT, June 8.-Frank s..
Carson, a settler on the border of the Tongus
river reservation, has arrived here with q
detailed story of an attempted wholesale
killing by band Of northern Cheyennes.
One night a shortatime ago about twenty
savages stole from the ranch of James s.
Ferguson 1900 or 1000 pounds of beef, and
were carrying il away when they were
discovered by one of Ferguson's cowboys,
who gave an alarm. Ranchman Ferguson
and about forty Of his men gave chase and
recovered the meat. Three or four days
later Ferguson and six of his men left the
ranch with a couple of teams and did
not return until late in the night.
SHOT DOWN FROM AMBUSH.
The Indians watched their movements,
armed themselves, hid among the trees
along the roadside and, as the men passed.
opened fire upon them with deadly effech,
Ferguson, who came here from New Hamp-
shire, aud was the largest stock grower in
the valley. was shot through the left lung
and heart, and died almost instantly. One
of his men was shot in the groin and died
the next day, and two others received
serious wounds. The Indians have sincs
been thoroughly armed and the settlers be-

DrxIE's RLEorIoN CONTESTS.
Rules Of Law and Precedents Ignored
by the Republicans.

~ VIZ
WASHINGTON. June s.-"I don't know
what the further purpose Of the majority
may be in election cases." said Mr.. Crisp Of
Georgia. "They started off with eight
majority and now they have twenty. 1 do
not know how many more they want. Mr..
Turpin OF Alabama had a certified majority
OF l5, 1853. and yet they turned him out and
elected Mr.. MoDuffie. Whose turn may
come next, after such proceeding as that, /
cannot tell. Nothing seems to stagger the
COMMITTEES on elections, and nothing has SO
far staggered the majority of the House.
JUSTICE IGNORED.
EVERY rule of law and every precedent
OF the House has been put aside, and they
proceed upon mere allegation aud assump-
tion, without proof that would stand q
moment in any court You will find my
opinion Of such proceedings in the Record
In the Turpin case, where 1 said
that the majority set aside returns
on evidence unworthy of credit, made a
theory TO suit themselves and adhered to ii
and counted and certified as elected a man
who had been repudiated at the polls. This
is exactly the one thing needful to the sue
cess Of the Republican party, and they pro-
are to be believed, to enable them to dc
their own counting and certifying in all
cases hereafter.
THEIR METHOD OF PROCEDURE.
ELECTION contests from the south seem to
be tried on presumption and theory rather
than upon facts. Their theory is that every
colored man is republican and votes the
republican ticket. and that every witness
who does not agree with that theory
is foresworn. This is not true.
Many colored people in the south
vote the democratic ticket There is abund-
ant evidence Of that, but the republican
theory Is that every colored man ought to
vote the republican ticket, and If he doesn't
they proceed to count him Just as If he
had. This is specimen Of what we may
expect II the federal election bill passes.n

The summons was obeyed.

the shots fired forward, and suspecting
something, hid 5000 In money from the safe.
locked the small safe, put out the lights and
ran back to New Salem.
THE NAIL BAGS RIELED.
The mail car was first tackled by the rob-
bers. Only one mail agent was in the car.
and he immediately obeyed orders by turn
ing over the mail matter. A number of
registered letters were rified, and then the
two robbers turned their attention to the
express car. This they found deserted,
much TO their chagrin, and, mistaking the
fireman for the express messenger, orderedi
him at the point Of pistols to open the safe.
He protested that he knew nothing about
1t, and finally satisfied the robbers.
Then the train backed to New Salem, andl
finally came on east. The express messen<
ger remained incognito end got on the train
as It left New Salem.
The passengers were not touched. One
put his head out of window during the
delay. but was told to get his head backr
and bullet whfzzed past his head as re~
minder that orders had better be obeyed.
POSSE STARTS RATHER LATE.
Aposse Of men with the sheriff, mounted
and armed, left Mandan early this morning
on special train for the scene of the rob-
berry.
The robbers compelled Engineer Kilmar-'
tin TO break in the door Of the postal car.
Only four masked men were seen at one
time, and suspicious are rife that only two
were engaged in the work. During the
controversy In the mail car the
mask fell from the face OF
one man, reported to be Of medium hight
and build, light hair, and with several days
growth Of light beard. The district around
New Salem Is peopled by quiet, law-abid-
ing settlers
The robbery is presumed to be the work Of
people unknown in that part Of the country.

It VIII Be the Feature of the Week
In the Senate.
WASHINGTON, June S-The interest that
conferred in the proceedings of the House
last week win be transferred this week to
the Senate. The discussion of the silver
question will be resumed tomorrow, the
bill that was passed by the House Saturday
being substituted for the pending measure
on the Senate calendar This will facilitate
the disposition Of the matter. It is believed
that a vote on the bill will be reached be-
fore the end of the week. It Is also believed
that the bill which will pass the Senate will
provide for the purchase of 100000
ounces of silver monthly, the certificates to
be issued in payment thereof to be legal
tender for all debts, and to be redeemable
in lawful money.
Senator Vest has given notice that he
will ask the Senate some day this week to
take up the bills on the calendar in regard
TO the transportation of cattle and beef
products, but he will probably give way to
the silver debate, If it shall continue during
the week.
The legislative appropriation bill will be
reported to The Senate early in the week,
and Senator Allison, chairman Of the COM
mittee, says he expects to have it passed be-
fore the week passes.
Eulogies over the late Representative
Wilbur Of New York will be delivered
Thursday, and Saturday will be devoted to
"unob5ected" bills on the calendar.

a Little Mistake Recorded Them
Wrong on the SILVER Bill.
WASHINGTON, June 8-There are four
Wilson's members of the House of Repre-
sentatives, and once in awhile the presence
of so many persons with a common family
name occasions slight mistakes In the record
of the proceedings of the House, more espo-
cially as the Wilson's do not all owe fealty
to the same political party. An instance
of this happened yesterday in the vote on
the silver bill. Mr.. Wilson of Missouri,
democrat, was recorded in the press ac-
count giving the yea and nay vote as voting
in favor of the passage of the bill, whereas
he voted against its passage, while Mr..
Wilson of Washington, republican, was
put down among those opposed to the bin,
although he voted in favor of it. The
error occurred through the reading clerk
inadvertently calling the name OF Mr..
Wilson of Washington before that of Mr.
Wilson of Missouri, thus reversing the
order in which their names are placed on
the roll call

Being Wrecked on Fastnet.
LONDON, June S-The Anchor Line
steamer City of Rome, Capt. Young,
from New York May 81, arrived at
Queenstown at 10 o'clock this morning.
The vessel had narrow escape from de-
struction at Fastnet. She made land
in dense fog at A o'clock this
morning. She was going slowly, and was
taking soundings when, notwithstanding
the care exercised, she struck Fastnet rock
about three miles seaward of Crookhaven,
bow on. Her forefoot got on the rock, and
but for the promptitude displayed In re-
versing the engines great fatality would
have been recorded.
TREMBLBD ALL OVER.
The passengers who were interviewed say
the steamer trembled all over when she
struck the rock. For time there was In
tense alarm on board, the density of the fog
adding to the omlnous character OF the
situation. The passengers were finally
quieted by the repeated assurances OF the
commander and the other officers OF the
steamer that not the slightest danger ex-
listed. The full extent Of the damage cannot
be learned until the steamer is docked. Her
stem Is broken at the peak and she shipped
large volume Of water forward The
steamer started for Liverpool at IL o'clock,
proceeding at half speed.
