A Veritable Gland Ouyal.

the driver announced that he had been held
up and robbed near this city while in
Browns gulch. When the stage left
Champion this morning it had on board the
driver, Andy Granger, Daniel Meadey and
a lady whose name the driver did not know.
When going down Browns gulch and
about sixteen miles from Butte Mr. Gran
ger was startled by the sudden appearance
of masked man at the road side, who de-
manded an instantaneous uplifting of
hands. This demand was backed
by a Winchester. 1t passed cur

The lady vas not disturbed as
the roober had ali the chivalrous attributes
of Claud Duval, but he made the men
climb down out of the wagon without ex-
hibiting much feeling for their suffering
and when on the ground, they were ordered
to take off their coats and vests and lay them
on the ground in front of the bandit king
This they did, and then retreated out of

The Raum Investigation.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-In the Raum in
vestIgation to-day, Chairman Morrill, pro-
ceeded to pass upon the question raised as
to the relevancy of the testimony offered
yesterday by Cooper, relating to the char
acter of the refrigerator company's stock,
and ruled it out.
Lewis, minority member, entered pro-
test against the narrow limitation, holding
that the character Of the stock was one Of
the counter indictments
Assistant Chief Bryant, of the pension
office, said more claims had been adjudi-
Gated under the new order than before it
had been made. He knew of no preference
shown any particular attorney.
To Commissioner Raum, witness said
that while there had been larger output
of claims under the new order than before,
! there had been greater haste in the prepa-
ration OF cases and much rivalry between
the clerks. He did not say the work was
| improperly done, but called attention to
| the fact that some examiners were dispos-
| ing of claims in less time than they could
be properly considered.
| The commissioner wished to know
whether witness had tried to put stop to it.
Witness replied he had not thought Of
| putting stop to 1t. The $4,000 cases put
on the completed files in the Office had been
selected without particular care
| Judge Wilson said it had been said that
| Cooper had signed large number of blank
| claims upon the pension Office for firm OF
pension attorneys, and he would like to
have Cooper make statement about it.
| Cooper said he authorized his clerk to
sign a large number of calls for pension
| firm in his district, understanding IT had
been the custom. Perhaps there were 500
| or 1900 calls signed with his name When
| ne came to Washington he spoke to Chief
Dornan, in the pension Office, about it, and
| he doubted whether it was fair to call up
cases in that way, but he must act for his
constituents. Dornan told him to sign
| slips and he would do what he could with
them. Cooper did not think it mattered to
Congress, as the attorneys he signed for
had been neglected. He was told that
Lemon at that time had practically control
of the pension Office. Witness felt then
and now, that if he could do anything to
| help his people he ought to do it. He felt
that they had not had fair chance with
the attorneys.
| Cooper asked the committee to pass upon
his resolution referred to. to extend the
scope of investigation. No decision was
made and the committee adjourned.

Crop Reports.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10-The national
crop report shows that the injury to the
corn crop, reported last month, has been
intensified by the continuance drouth in
August, when rains came, but too late for
full recovery. The average is 20 against
T33 last month, the lowest average since
1851 Returns Of the condition OF winter
wheat at the time of harvesting was less
favorable than those of the first of July.
So far as thrashing has progressed the
results are generally disappointing. The
July average was 7S.2: the present aver
age, ,73.5. The general average of spring
wheat is also reduced from S3.2 to 7S.S
The average for wheat of both kinds, 75.5
In 1888 the September average for both
was Il, it was 20 in 1881
The yield Of spring wheat is unusually
variable In the DakOtaS, ranging from high
yield to five bushels and less per acre. On
the Atlantic coast there is improvement in
corn since August.
Declines occurred in. New York, Ohio,
Illinois and all northern states and IN some
others of less Importance. Crops are late
In the eastern states, requiring maturing
weather throughout September; they are
also late and variable in development in
New York and Pennsylvania. The Allan
tic coast states returned relatively high
condition, which is somewhat impaired
locally, by the midsummer drought and
later storms. In Tennessee and Mississippi,
Arkansas and Texas. the drought retired
the condition too low for subsequent
recovery. The Ohio valley and Missouri
valley report protracted drought and low
condition, and while rains during the last
two weeks of August were beneficial, they
not always restored the losses of the first
half of the month. The lowest condition is
IN Kansas, though some eastern counties
make good returns. Dakota and Nebraska
are little higher. Crops are late and will
require as much time to mature Oh the
latitude of 40 degrees as for the earlier
varieties grown on the line of ~ degrees.
Rye yields less than was expected. The
condition reported is reduced to S5.4
The September condition of oats is the
lowest ever reported, having been reduced
from z. in August to A The yield will
be the smallest in twenty years.
The condition of barley is not very seri-
ously lower-from S2S to 7S.6
Buckwheat holds its August condition,
the average being COL.
The figures for potatoes have fallen since
August from IA to 65.7, the lowest yield
ever reported, that of 1887 being 67.3.
The reported percentage for fatteniug
swine Is 81 per cent. and their condition
93.7.

PORTLAND, Me, Sept. 10.-Mr. Reed is
now in Washington. The speaker and his
friends are jubilant. Although Reeds ma
lority IS very large the real significance of
the returns can be found out in the fact
that IN spite OF the extraordinary efforts of
nimself and his congressional associates,
Mr.. Reed has received smaller vote nv
more than two thousand than was cast for
him two years ago. He has received fewer
votes than were cast for him four years
ago, and he has not received by 600 as MANY
as were cast for the Democratic candidate

voted for him two years ago who would not

dred votes cast for him by the Democrats
there were a hundred Republicans who
