WASHINGTON CRY, Sept 16.-The Raum
investigation was continued yesterday.
In reply to Cooper, Raum said that sub.
company of the Universal Refrigerator
company had been organized in this city
to assist the parent company. He pro-
tested against answering this question as
not being pertinent to the inquiry, but at
the request Of the committee made the
above statement. Then Cooper wanted to
introduce letter charging Frank A.
Smith with fraud in relation to the re-
frigerator. lie also wanted the person
making the charge-H. B. Chaplin. of New
Iork-called as witness The commit
tee rejected the letter, but will probably
hear Chopin.
Pension Office Employees Examined.
A number of pension Office chiefs of
divisions and clerks were next examined.
They denied owning any refrigerator
stock, or knowing any employe of the
pension toffice who did, or being aware of
any favoritism to Attorney Lemon or any
other pension agent. They also declared
that the order complained of was q good
thing for facilitating business. Lewis
wanted further examination into the sub
company, because Tanner, Raum's pri-
vate secretary. held stock in the sub
company and had been promoted by
Raum. The committee rejected this pro-
posal, and Tanner, during the discussion,
said his promotion occurred some months
before he had taken stock in the sub
company. Adjourned.

PattPc on the Back.

the Union copies fulsome article
upon Mr.. Gest from the Warsaw Bulletin,
the whole tenor of which is to show
what man of influence our representa-
tive is. Mr.. Gest, the writer says. had
been waiting his turn in the house for
several evenings, while the old timers
were getting in their work IN the line
of special legislation" None of the
others seemed to have courage enough to
say anything, 30 Mr.. Gest spoke right
out in meeting" to use the language Of
the Bulletih. 1t would seem that the
crisis of his life had come, and wading
into the imminent breach he spoke right
out, he did. Later on in the evening he
said, Last Friday night staid here two
hours and half, and my name was not
reached, although it was on the list"
This thrilling protest seemed to shake
the house to its very foundations, and the
Bulletin says that two hundred or more
congressman patted Mr. Gest on the
back" 1t was his hour of triumph. Be
fore the echo of that mighty effort
had died away he was surrounded
by over two hundred congressman all
trying to get chance at his back There
they were like bees round cask, bask-
ing in the presence of the great Rock
Islander. vieing with each other to do
him honor by rubbing him on the back
like purring kitten. Happy momentl
Still the gentleman from Illinois was not
permitted to say anything and when he
asked if he couldn't say something he was
told that he would be reached presently.
That is what have been told BEFORE"
responded Mr.. Gest, in one of those out
bursts Of indignation shown by boy
when reprimsnded at school.
When the back-tapping congratula-
tons were over Mr.. Gest relapsed into
his normal condition-silence.

WASHINGTON CRY, Sept. 16-It was de-

house yesterday that several members
were not satisfied with the revision of
kennedy's famous speech against the SEN
ate which appeared in The Congressional
Record. Enloe, Democrat, arose while
Mckinley had the floor offering the tariff
resolution of the committee on rules, and
said he had a question of privilege to pre-
sent. He then offered resolution repro
batting and condemning Kennedy's speech.
A point of order was raised against its
consideration, as not such a question of
privilege as could take Mckinley of the
hoor, and upon the speakers sug gestion
Enloe withdrew the matter for the time

As soon as the tariff matter was out of
the way and the bill sent to the conference
committee, Enloe again arose, and was
again met by point of order raised by
Grosvenor of Ohio, who contended that
the time to object to kennedy's speech
was when it was in course of delivery.
Enloe held that we point was bad. and
went on to say that Kennedy had no more
right to make a personal attack on a
member of the senate, than he (Enloe) had
to state that the speaker was corrupt, or
that the president was a criminal He

Bayne of Pennsylvania next spoke. He
agreed with Enloe that it was due to the
senate that the house repudiate the at

time in the history of the country that
such thing had occurred, and he urged
that no technicality be permitted TO pre-
vent the house from acting on the mat

He offered An amendment to Euloe's
resolution directing the public rinter to
exclude from The Record :. Kennedy's
speech.
Adams of Illinois spoke in favor of the
Enloe resolution. He believed that the
language of the gentleman from Ohio had
violated the old settled rules of psrlia-

Grosvenor said that he had made the
point of order because he believed that
