RAUM Is DOOMED.
The Pension Commissioners Days Are
Numbered.


WASHINGTON, June l9.-The inveSti-
CATION SO far as it has been conducted
by Secretary Noble into the relations Of
Pension Attorney Lemon and Commits
sioner Raum has developed nothing
eliminating, yet the cloud of scandal is
as dark as ever. BY reason OF the fact
that the Commissioner has volunteered
no explanation either to the Secretary
of the Interior or the President, single
hint came to the surface to-day that
may serve to explain the reticence OF
the Commissioner. 1t is that his son
and private secretary, Green B. Raum,
Jr.. has been booming the refrigerating
business in very indiScreet and COM
promising manner, the evidences of
which are in the hands of those bring
ing the charges. The Commissioners
cannot throw the responsibility for these
acts upon his son alone and let him bear
the burden, even though il would aid
in generating himself.
Under the circumstances Gen. Raum
is in an exceedingly painful position,
for which he may not be altogether re-
SponSble personally. While he has
neither the sympathy nor the support OF
the Secretary of the Interior, the latter
IS not inclined to pursue him as he did
Tanner. Before Tanners appointment
Secretary Noble earnestly pushed per
Sonal friend of his, General Powell, OF
Beleville, H., for the place. Subse-
quently, when Tanner was forced out,
he again pushed Powell, in the mean
time having given him rc-rating.
Now that it appears that General
Raum's retirement is Inevitable, Secre-
tary Noble wants TO have as little To do
with it as possible, so that he can con-
SiStently push Powell for the third time.

RECIPROCAL FREE TRADE.
BIaine's Proposition to Amend the Tarih
Rill.

WAsmXGroN, June 10. President
Harrison to-day transmitted to Con-
gress letter from Secretary Blaine
upon the subject of customs union and
the recommendations in respect thereon
by the n-American Conference. Sec
retary Blaine suggests an amendment
to the tariff bill authorizing the Presi-
dent to declare the ports Of the United
States free to the products of any
American nation upon which no export
dues are charged. so long as such ma
tion shall admit free TO its ports the
manufactures and products oil the
United States.
The President, in transmitting the
communication, says: 1t has been so
often and so persistently stated that
our tariff laws offered an insurmounta-
BILE barrier to a large exchange OF pro-
ducts with the Latin American nations,
that deem it proper to call especial at
tention to the fact that more than 81
per cent. Of the product of these ma
tions. sent to our ports, are now admit
ted free. If sugar is placed upon the
free list, practically every important
article exported from those States VIII
be given untaxed access 10 our markets.

POSITION OF THE BILL.
Reed Has the Silver Measure Badly Tied


WASHINGTON, d. c., June 29.-The silver
bill is now in the possession Of the clerk of
the Committee on Coinage Of Silver
Weights, etc. and he has no authority to
surrender its custody, except upon the au-
thority of the House or Speaker. No such
order has been made by the House (the
resolution merely exchanging the statement
Of the transaction from the jour
nall and the Speaker is not
likely to recall it, There is no record on
the journal that any reference Of the meas
ure has been made, and therefore it is
doubtful whether motion to discharge the
Committee Of the Whole from the further
consideration will he in order or even
whether the Committee on Rules can
report resolution fixing a
day for its consideration. Chairman
COnger will refuse to take any action in
dissonance with the wishes of the majority
of his committee. The journal Of Wednes-
day, however, not having yet been ap-
proved, some method may be devised TO
cut the gordian knot which now binds the
silver bill, and some means may be in
vented to relieve the House from its pres
ent dilema.

A STIFF GAME OF BALL
Put Up by the Wheeling Team, iester-
day-A Shut Out for Springfield.

The Wheeling team had the neces-
sary ginger yesterday, and played in
their old-time form, only one error being
made in the nine innings, while they lit
onto the ball and hit it out into the
green grass all around, getting seven
men over the home plate. Schiebel
pitched for the visitors, and few OF the
home boys experienced much trouble in
getting onto his delivery.
Fitzgerald pitched for Wheeling, and
the Springfelds got no hit up to the
seventh inning, and no run. AT the
close of the game they had but three
hits and nine goose eggs.
Wheeling started off by making three
scores in the second inning on Ziegler's
double, Myers single, bad throw,
Fitzgerald's hit, base on balls and
Glenalvin's hit. In the third another
was made on bad throw OF
Ziegler's hit TO second, another bad
throw and a passed ball. Two were
made in the seventh on Haller's muif Of
Georges hot grounder, O'Brien's hit, a
steal and Ziegler's hit. In the ninth
Zeigler hit safe, stole second and scored
on Myers hit.
The same teams play again to-day,
and it is probable Gibson will pitch for
Wheeling.
Following is the official score of yes
terday's game:

The Forenoon Search.

DUNBAR, PA, June 19.-The progress
made last night by the rescuing party
has not been nearly so satisfactory as
was hoped The men are still working
steadily, but there has been a great
deal of fallen wreckage encountered.
Inspector Keighly has decided to at
tempt an entrance through another
lead. Men will be put to work at once
and they will keep steadily at it in both
chambers. 1t is thought the new head
ing may be more open. Surveying par
ties have been busy all night and are
still in the Mahoning mine, locating the
nearest heading toward the Hill mine
chambers. The new attempt will, 1t is
thought, be even closer to the buried
men than the one they are now work
ing on.

THERE IS STILL HOPE.

1t is now ~ hours since the explosion
occurred and unless tn .iner have some
bits left in their buckets, hunger is
pressing them sadly, if they are still
alive. That they are still living has
received an added hope from the fact
that last night there was a sudden and
unexplained increase in the ventilation
through both the Mahoning and Fer
guSon mines. The draught at the form
er increased from $4,000 cubic feet per
minute to $4,000 cubic feet. This can
only be accounted for by fall OF slate
in the Hill Farm mine, either by acci-
dent or that the entombed miners them
selves have made a break through and
are working towards the reScucrS from
the inside An unexpected delay has
been met with in thus changing the
base of operations and the men may not
be found until tomorrow, il not later.
