LONDON, Oct. 2.-The st. James Ga
zette prints an article commenting in a
sneering manner upon the movement in
America to establish fund for the relief
of the famine sufferers in Ireland. It
says the movement is simply dodge to
secure the Irish vote.
The Stai says: America shames US.
The establishment of British fund to
relieve distress in Ireland is imper-
ative."

Englishman honors the liberal hearted
men of America. But every true Eng
lishman must feel ashamed of his own

Comment on the Mckinley Bill.
The Chronicle doubts the wisdom of
Canadian statesmen in stirring up the
feud with their powerful neighbor on
account of the Mckinley bill, especially
when the opinion prevails in many quar-
ters that it is the prelude to more en-
lightened policy.
The Times inclines to agree with the
Canadian ministers that the bill must
be recognized as a demonstration OF
hostility against England, hardly less
decided than the Berlin and Milan de-
crees Of Napoleon.
The Berlin correspondent OF the News
saws it is stated that the German govern
ment contemplates reprisals if the
United States refuses to modify the Nc
Kinley bill.

GUTHRIE, Oaklahoma, Oct. To-day
was one of tremendous excitement in
the territorial legislature. A bill for the
permanent location OF the capital at
Oklahoma City, passed the house yester-
day. Before action was taken in the
upper house today, however, a motion
in the lower house for reconsideration
was adopted. Friends of Speak
er Daniels had induced him
to sign the bill, and Representative Per-
ry was hurrying over to the upper house
with it. When the enemies of the
measure discovered this the legislature
was turned into bowling mob. Perry
was pursued. When overtaken in the
street, some one yelled "Hang him 7"
and the proposition was nearly carried
into effect. The unfortunate legislator
convinced the mob, however, that he
had handed the bill to Representative
Nesbitt, and that gentleman made a
wild break down the street with the mob
in full pursuit. Nesbitt managed
to distance them for four blocks, when
his strength gave out, and he surrend-
ered The bill was taken back to the
house, and the speaker in the presence
OF the governor and other witnesses,
erased his signature, saying he signed
the measure under misapprehensiOn.

Havenaugh, commanding the United
States force, Gained the excited crowd
which was still demanding the punish
ment of Perry and Nesbitt.

RAUM'S ROASTING.
THE CAT LET OUT OF THE BAG
TOO SOON.
A Member of the Majority Committee Rep
rehends the Minority's Ventilation of
the Refrigerator Fraud.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-Judge Sawyer,
on behalf of the majority of the Raum
committee, stated tonight to an Asso-
ciated Press reporter, that he learned
with surprise that the minority report
had been given out. 1t was we'll under
stood by the committee that the evil
dence was not all in and the investiga-
ton not closed. Taking up the allega-
tions in the minority report, one
by one, Judge Sawyer said there
was not one of the statements
that he believed was borne out by the
facts. AS to the list OF stockholders, the
proof showed that Smyser subscribed
alone for stock, and that others inter-
ested with him made no subscription.
With regard to Bradley Tanner, Com
missioner Raum's private secretary, the
evidence showed that at the outside he
had only written four or five letters on
the refrigerator company's business
in the pension office during Office
hours. His association with the District
OF Columbia branch of the company
was purely nominal. and the company
itself had not yet been brought into ac-
tive existence. Tanners promotion was
shown to have been made in fulfllment
of promise to Raum's predecessor.
With this exception there was no evil
dence to show that anybody employed in
a pension case was directly or indirectly
the owner OF any stock in the refrigera-
tor company. The majority had carefully
analysed the testimony with regard to
favoritism to attorneys, and had reached
the conclusion that favoritlsm was i'm
possible. The majority Of the commit
tee earnestly approved the orders estab-
fishing the completed files system as ex-
pediting business. They found there
was no evidence to show that the COM
missioner ever failed to give time and
attention to the duties which should be
expected.
Judge Sawyer remarked in conclusion
that he gave expression to what he un-
derstood to be the views of the major
ity, with some hesitation, because he
did not understand that the investiga-
tion was yet closed, but as the minority
had seen fit to make their statement
public, he thought it only proper to do
so.
When asked in regard to Lemons
endorsement, Judge Sawyer re-
piled that the evidence established
that Lemon endorsed notes for General
Raum to the extent OF $4,000, and re-
ceived as collateral 1000 shares in a
gypsum mining company in Virginia.
The evidence was that this enterprise
had been brought to Lemons attention
before Raum became commissioner.
The only evidence before the committee
as to the value of the shares, was that
one sale had been made at $34 per
share.
