FOUND DROWNED.
ROBERT RAY HAMILTON LOST IN
 SNAKE RIVER.
Whose Future Had Been Ruined by a Coalition With an Adventures.

HELENA, Mont., September l5.-Word was been received that Robert Ray Hamilton, of new York, whose name is well known to newspaper readers in connection with the trial of his wife last year for cutting affray with her maid, was found drowned in Yellowstone Park today.
 The news was brought by J. O. Green, son of Dr. Norvin Green of the Vest ern Union Telegraph Go, who has been in the Park. It seems that Hamilton bought ranch about two months ago in the Park and has been there since.
 When Green and party arrived at the ranch about August 23 they found Hamilton had been absent on hunting trip several days. The next day they started out to search for him and found the body thirty miles from the ranch in Snake river while his horse and hunting dog were short distance away. Green says he positively identified Hamilton's body and took it to the ranch and noti- fled the dead mans family. Green has been in the Park ever since. It is a SuIpTlse HtTe lldJ lllS HSNS WIS HOI given out before.
 Green thinks the unfortunate man was accidentally drowned while trying to ford the river. His horse was found grazing on the bank and had saddle on, but it was turned under the belly.
 NEW YORK, September l5. - No positive confirmation of the story oi Robert Ray Hamilton's death could be obtained from Hamil- tons relatives in this city. His father, Gen,ral Schuyler Hamilton, said he had heard, from indirect sources, that his son was drowned, but had himself received no information about it. He expects news in the morning
 Robert Ray Hamilton was grandson of Alexander Hamilton, the great Amer ican statesman and lawyer. He had served several terms in the Assembly with credit and had hosts of friends. About four years ago Hamilton met Evangeline Brill, who was then known as Mrs. Josephine Mann, and it was his association with her that ruined his life. The story of his unfortunate experience with her and the culmination of the trouble last summer does not need repe- tition now.

IN THE PENSION OFFICE
CONTINUING THE INVESTIGATION
 OF RAUM.
The Committee Refuses to go Into Details of Bradley Tanners Connection With the Refrigerator Company.

WASHINGToN, September l5.-In the Raum investigation today Cooper asked the Commissioner whether there was a sub-company of the Universal Reiriger- ator Company in this district.
 The Commissioner stated that steps had been taken looking to the formation of sub-company. The stock had been subscribed. Bradley Tanner, who sat at his desk, was secre- tary of the company. Tanner subscribed for one share of the stock so as to be able to act as an inporporator, but no money had been paid in. That organization was, in fact, in choate condition as yet. Tanner was absolutely the only pension office employe interested in the com pany patent except the witness who owned nine-tenths of the district rights. They were to receive payment for the franchise in $500,000 of stock but the arrangement was not yet ratified. The interpretation of Mir. Cooper's resolution stopped negotiations.
 Witness had withdrawn from the field and stopped selling State rights until he could by the erection of a practical working plant, show the value of the patent. Tanner was not expect ed to pay for his share and the same was true of the gentlemen who organiz- ed the sub-company. A few shares of stock had been given to them to enlist the use of their names, as was customary in the organization of such companies.
 Mir. Lewis introduced resolution set ting forth Bradley Tanners connection with the matter and stating that it is proper and competent for the committee to hear such testimony as will tend to prove the character of this enterprise and the value of stock.
 By party vote the committe refused to adopt the resolution. Adjourned.

President Enjoying His Stay but Inter-
 ested in State Affairs.

csteu ih state Auairs.
 CREssoN SPRINGS, Pa, September l5. 1t has been arranged that the River and llarbor Appropriation bill will be forwarded to the President immediately on being signed by the Speaker. It is not likely that the public will be kept in ignorance for many more days in re- gard to that measure. Speculation is about evenly divided as to it's prospects. Those who are sure of veto being about as numerous as those who are confident of it's approval.
 The President said this morning that if the weather continues favorable and public business does not prevent, he will remain at Cresson until the end of next week.
 There is every reason to believe that the President is seriously considering the advisability of calling an extra session of Congress. It is known that several prominent Republicans have advised such course, with a view to the earlier consideration of the Federal election bill.
 Persons who have talked with the President say he will certainly recon vene Congress, if certain pending meas ures in which he takes great interest are not disposed of at this session. These include the Anti-Lottery bill, the Supreme Court bill and the Land bills now in the Senate, and the Postal Ship ping bill, now awaiting action in the House. The President is known to be especially interested in the passage of the Election bill and would probably feel justified in calling an extra session for the consideration of it and such other important measures now pending as may not be disposed of at this snaginn

WALLA WALLA, September 15.-This afternoon John Clinton, aged l9, came to the city from Eureka Flats and told a terrible tale of the tiendish cruelty prac- ticed on himself by two Kennedy brothers last Saturday.

At his refusal the brothers at- tackled and overpowered him and beat him with a rope. Then they fastened a large rope around his body and tied him to wild horse, which was then turned loose. Clinton was dragged quite dis tance before the rope became unfastened. When found he was unconscious and fearfully bruised.
