WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-The special
House committee this morning began an in
vestigation of the charges against Pension
Commissioner Raum by placing the COM
missioner on the stand. Represent ative
Cooper of Indiana, who brought the charges
and introduced the resolution of inquiry,
appeared as counsel for the government.
He called for the production of the
books of the Universal Refrigerating z
Company. but Mr.. Raum refused
to produce them, upon the ground
that they had nothing to do with the charges
of corruption. Mr.. Cooper endeavored to
induce the committee to compel the produc-
tion Of the books but failed. Mr.. Cooper
soon found himself at odds with the COM
mittee, and, announcing that he was so
bound by the committees action as to be
stopped from proceeding properly. he would
retire, thereupon picked up his papers and
left the room.

The committee then proceeded with the

ment of Pension Attorney Lemon, aud had
renewed the notes from time to time, and
the amount now due was 81 900, but that
Mr.. Lemon held collateral for the amount.
He (Mr. Raum), however, had never given
priority to any claims for Mr..
Lemon or any other attorney.
all. Mr.. Lemons letter asking for action
upon list of claims which he presented
was read to the committee. Mr.. Raum
said that no action had been taken on it.
In reply TO questions by Mr.. Smyser the
commissioner emphatically declared that
he did not issue certain specified orders at
the request of Mr.. Lemon, and had not ad-

urged upon the chiefs of the divisions in the
office to show no favoritism in the consid-
GRAFTON of cases.
LEWIS LEFT IN TIE LURCH.
At this point Mr.. Lewis, referring
to Mr.. Cooper, said his sudden and
| inconsiderate withdrawal from the case

proper that Mr. Cooper should return and
resume his connection with the case. He
| thought Mr.. Cooper had left in some temper,
and temper had been also displayed by
some members of the committee. Other
members Of the committee also expressed a
willingness to have Mr.. Cooper return.
Judge J. Wilson of Washington, who was
present, SAID that MIR. Lemon had been his
client, although he was not in
the present case. Mr.. Lemon was
at present absent from the city.
He thought it due TO the commissioner
of pensions and to Mr.. Lemon that Mr..
Cooper should return and assume charge of
the matter and assist in getting at the facts.
Mr.. Cooper was accordingly sent for, and
shortly reappeared. The committee, how
ever, having sat for five hours, decided at
/ this point TO adjourn.

The Proposition Before the Mississippi
Convention.

JACKSON, MISS, Aug. GA tinge of
sentiment colored the proceedings of the
constitutional convention to-day during the
progress Of Delegate John w.
Fewell's speech in support Of a
proposition offered by himself to
confer su ffrage upon women. Mr.. Fewelrs
resolutions read as follows:
Resolved, That it is the sense Of this con-
vention that it Is a condition necessary to
the solution of the franchise problem that
the right to vote shall be secured, by proper
constitutional enactment, to every woman
who shall have resided in this state six
months, and who shall be 81 years of age or
upward. and who shall own, or whose hus-
band, il she have husband,
shall own real estate situated in the
state of the clear value of $500,
over and above all encumbrances The vote
of every woman voting in an election shall
be cast by some male elector, who shall be-
thereunto authorized in writing by such
woman so entitled to vote, which constitu-
tional enactment is not to be framed so as to
grant woman the right to hold office.
SUPPORTS IT IN SPEECH.
Under the rules the resolution should
have gone to the committee on elective
franchise, but by unanimous consent he was
allowed to take the floor In support of his
resolution. Mr.. Fewell made the most of his
opportunity, and in a speech of twenty min
utes' duration made deep impression on all
his hearers. He urged that a spe-
cial committee be appointed TO report on
the question, but the committee
on elective franchise regarded such refer
ence with the instructions suggested as in
fringing upon the prerogative of the
elective franchise committee, and after
two hours discussion Mr.. Fewell struck out
the Objectionable clauses of the reference
resolution and had it referred In the usual
way.
A SIMILAR PROPOSITION.
Delegate Hudson of Yazoo also offered
an amendment providing for female suf-
frage with a property aud educational
qualification. This also embraces the Aus
tralian ballot system.
The woman suffrage idea is growing in
favor among the best minds OK the conven-
tion, and unless safety from negro
supremacy can be reached by other
methods Mr.. Fewell's plan, or one similar
to it, will be adopted.

into the union, are unconstitutional and
binding upon this convention. 1t is
understood that the committee will
report against the constitutionality of the
Fundamental conditions, and advise the
convention that they are not bound by
them. The convention will probably ad-
