The Pension Commissioner Continues His Tes-
timony Before the Committee.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 22-Commissioner
Raum continued his testimony before the
investigating committee to-day. He said
that some of the money he obtained from
Lemon went into the Refrigerator Com
pany. but declined to state how much.
Cooper presented an article published in
the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette June
9th containing a denial of the truth of the
charges brought by Cooper.
The Commi ssioner denied that the article
had been prepared in his Office and taken to
General Boynton. He had had a number of
interviews about that time with newspaper
men on this subject. The interview was,
he said, substantially correct The Com
missioner said that probably Lemon had
spoken to him about the advanced cases be-
fore he submitted his letter. Certainly
other attorneys had done so. AS to the sys-
ten of completed files witness said that the
Pension Office relied solely upon the certif-
cate Of the attorney, who was assumed to be
a credible person, being accredited by the
court, that the case was complete and ready
for action.
The Commissioner produced a statement
of cases on the completed files showing that
there were now 115, 564 such cases, including
OllU VI LClHOH , tdsfss lHC ptuSiOh
which had presented the largest number of
completed cases this month was Marriny &
Co., Cooper's friends.
This concluded the Commissioners ex-
animation. and Martin Bailey, Chief of the
Law Division of the Pension Bureau, was
called and gave testimony relative to his
office practice, adding that no particular
consideration had ever been shown in the
treatment Of Lemons cases, as he knew alb
solutely.
Commissioner Raum next produced the
stock-book of the refrigerator company and
furnished list of stockholders, which was
verified by the committee. He testified
that it contained the name of 20 employe
in the Pension Office except his own and
that no stock had ever been offered to any
employe.
Cooper declared the proceeding was ex
parte, that it was beneath the dignity of
member of Congress or respectable at
torney to participate in such an investiga-
| ton. He had not been permitted to look at
the stock book. The committee offered to
allow him 10 inspect the verified list, but he
refused 10 do so unless he could obtain ae-
cess to the books themselves.

MISREPRESENTED.
Mr.. Morrow Regrets His Out
burst Of Anger.
An Explanation Of the Action Of the Re-
publican State Convention.
The Nominations for Congressman at-LarSe
Made Upon False Statement of
The Census Bureau.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 22-The arrival to-
day of San Francisco papers dated August
10th conveyed the first full account Of the
Republican State Convention that has yet
been received in Washington. Mr.. Morrow
was surprised and gratified to learn that the
nomination of Congressmen-at-L was
in consequence of resolution reported by
the Committee on Rules in arranging the
order of business.
From the meager dispatches received here
announcing that morrow and Campbell
were nominated Congressmen-at-Large and
the convention adjourned" it seemed that
the convention, after nominating Mr. Mark
ham, had in an impulsive manner wound
up the proceedings by making STRAW" NOM
nations. but it now appears to Callfornlans
here that the convention acted upon dis
patch sent from here, purporting to be OIL
cial information, to the effect tina. under
the new app ortionment Calfornia's popu-
lation would entite her 10 two additional
Representatives.
In view of these facts the action of the
DlSlDIOIUeu convention Ill lLdhih5 hOh'-
nations at large can only be regarded as
complimentary TO the nominees.
Mr.. Morrow is free to confess that when
he was interviewed by the California ASso-
ciated Press representative he did not
understand that his nomination was the re-
suit Of careful deiberation by the Com
mittee On Rules. He was very sorry and
indignant that the convention had been
misled by an untruthful Washington dis
patch purporting 10 come as official infor
nation from the Census Department. He
went on to say that information lately re-
ceiyed by him from the Census Department
showed CalfOrnia's population to be 1900
600. There are now so Representatives in
Congress. including two from Idaho and
Wyoming This number, divided into Ga, Geo.
600, leaves 1872, 900. which is the number Of
inhabitants to each Congressional district
under the present apportionment. This
number, divided into 100000, leaves six
and a small fraction over. Consequently
under the present apportionment California
is only entitled to six Representatives.
Mr.. Morrow is further of the opinion that
the number of Representatives will not be
increased by the new apportionment, as the
House of Representatives as now consti-
tuted is too large and too unwleldiy body.
1t is the general opinion here land Mr.. Nor
row concurs) that the ApportiOnment Act
cannot possibly he passed before the No
YeuDer elections,

Terrible Experience of Nellie Taylor With

Terrible Experience of Nellie TAYLOR with
Her Lover, "Bud" Harris.
Nellie Taylor had an experience yester-
day that may end in death. She was las
seed by her lover, hanged to gas-fxture,
and escaping was chased through the streets,
target for rowdy's bullets. She was res
cued by police officers just as her would-be
murderer had again adjusted the lasso about
her neck and was about to finish his brutal
work. The Taylor woman has a room on
Clark street. bud" Harris got drunk
early yesterday morning, and, armng him
self with a big revolver and a coil of rome
started out to kill her. Entering her room
he said. % have come to kill you" He had
twisted the rope int lassO, and, throwing
about her neck and dragged her, kicking
and screaming. to the gas-fiXture. The rope
was thrown over the gas-jet and Harris
commenced to haul away. The woman, by
asuperhuman effort, succeeded in removing
the rope from her neck. Before Harris
realized what had happened lie was living
PROSTATE ON the floor and the woman was
out in the street, shrieking for help
But Harris, with revolver in one hand
and the lasso in the other, was close behind.
Down Clark street raced the pair. Then,
to the CONSERVATION Of the big crowd on the
street, he opened fire with his revolver.
The woman was just turning into Twelfth
street, aud the bullet whistled unpleasaptly
close to her head. That was the only shot
Harris fired. Exhausted from her long run
and frightened by the shooting the woman
sank unconscious on the pavement. Harris
fell on her PROSTATE form, and jumping up
again threw the lass0 over her head. At
that juncture Officers Heiman and Buckley
forced their way through the crowd. and
after short but decisive struggle placed
Harris under arrest. The woman was
taken to her room. Her physician says
that death viii probably result from the
shock to her nervous system.-Ch Chicago Her

Dissipation compelled his wife to

depressed After taking the poison at his
own room in the hotel, he sent for his wife
and begged her to take an equal amount,
so they might end their sorrows together.
She refused, and he then begged to be per-

ana strong, and she doubted his story, but
soon after reaching his mother-in-law' 5,

tion.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-The committee
of Republican Senators has decided that
the Tariff Bill, after date to be fixed, is to
be considered under the fve-minute rule
until vote is taken. The date has not
been decided and will be subject to an ar
rangemept with the Democrats. The ex-
pected vote would be reached about the 9th
of September, then the other measures
named in Senator Quay's resolutions are to
be taken up. The Election Bill will come
up the first thing after the assembling of
Congress in December.
The Senate adopted the resolution pre-
scented by Hale. directing the Secretary of
the Navy to investigate alleged defects in
the castings furnished by the Standard
Steel Company of Thurlow Kenna for the
Navy Department
The House bill to amend the act of June
| I'd, 1874. for the relief of settlers on rail-
road lands, was taken from the calendar
and passed.
| As one paragraph after another was taken
up amendments were offered, principally
| by Mcpherson, but they were all rejected
| The paragraph relating to shotguns was
| passed over informally, Aldrich stating that
the Finance Committee had some modifica-
tions of it under consideration.
| The paragraph relating to wood screws
| having been reached, Carlisle said that was
| an article which American manufacturers
were selling abroad very much lower than
they were selling at home, and he produced
prce-lists in support of his statement.
This was another Illustration, he said, of
the policy adopted by the other side In al
lowing drawbacks on exported articles.
Stewart said the assumption that there
was anything wrong in the sale of Ameri-
can manufactured goods in foreign coun-
| tries cheaper than at home arose from want
| of information.
| No amendments were agreed to until
Paragraph 100 was reached, which was, on
motion of Aldricn, amended so as 10 read
"Bullion Of gold, silver or other metal not
specially provided for, % per cent ad

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Henderson Of
Illinois submitted to the House the report
of the Committee on the Senate amend
ments to the River and Harbor Bill, recon-
mending non-concurrence in these amend
ments, and agreeing to the conference asked
for by the Senate.
Kerr raised the point Of order that the
amendment must first be considered in
Committee of the Whole. This point was
sustained by the Speaker, and the House
resolved itself into Committee OF the Whole
for consideration OF the measure.
Henderson said the Senate amendments
Increased the appropriation carried by the
bill about 100000. 1t was this increase
nOn-concur in. After cOncurring in about
one-halt Of the Senate amendments, the
committee rose.
Mason of Illinois, rising to question Of
privilege, said that some days ago resolu-
ton had been adopted alleging that certain
gentlemen had been fraudulently using the
mails to create sentiment in favor OF the
Conger Lard Bill, and calling on the Post
office Department for information on the
subject. The resolution had been sent
to the Postoffice Department.. with
request that the papers in re-
cara TO Inc Ut
promptly. This had not been done. He
had called at the department several times
and been Informed that probably the papers
would not be sent up until Saturday night.
Then they would be OF no use. The pre-
vious question on the bill was ordered at
o'clock tomorrow. His charge was that an
improper influence had been brought to
bear upon this department OF the Govern
ment to retain certain papers in its
possession. He moved that q committee
of three members be appointed to wait on
the Postmaster-General and ask that the
papers be furnished in time to be used in
debate.
Before any action was taken the House
took recess until evening for the consid-
Grafton of private pension bills.
At the evening session the House passed
thirty-three private pension bills, including
one granting a pension of 500 month to
the widow Of George B. White, late chief Of
the Bureau of Yards and Docks.

M r. Robinson some weeks ago forwarded
a few hundred dollars to Danny Long to
advance to crack ball-tossers, who we're to
pull the Oakland team up to first place.
Among the trio was Samuel Shaw, who had
pitched for Eastern ball teams. MIR. Shaw,
an understood young man, not Overbur-
dened with flesh, made his first appearance
with the Colonies yesterday on the Emery
vile grounds. lie had all kinds of curves,
shoots and drops and a good change of
pace, but he lacked one Of the most essen
tial points in his business-cOntrol of the
ball. He sent seven men TO bases ON called
balls and struck batter twice, and six
Senators scored through his unsteadiness.
His curves did not bother the visitors; they
batted him hard and landed fourteen of
their hits in safe places. However, it must
be said, in Justice 10 the stranger, that he
became disgusted at his support in the
sixth inning and thereafter did not exert
himself.
Shaw may be first-class pitcher, but hi 8
work yesterday was inferior to both Car
sey's and CObb's. He showed his disap-
approval so strongly while at bat when
D0nahue called strike on him that the UNI
pire fined him So.
The fielding of the Colonies at times was
| OF the poorest character. They threw the
| ball all over the lot and on several occa-
| sions used about as much judgment as a
| team of SchOOl-OOys.
The Senators put up good fielding game
until the eighth inning, when several costly
errors and a streak of safe hitting gave the
| Oaklards three runs. Hoffman pitched
| strong game. the hits made off him being
scattered and as his support was excellent
up to the later stage Of the play, Oakland
| found it difficult to get men around the
| bases.
lsaacson again played first base for the
| Capital City men and covered the bag in
| fine style. while at bat he did effective
work, lacing out pretty two-hagger and a
single Young McHale also batted heav-
| ily securing three singles out OF four times
at the plate. Roberts graceful fielding was
one of the features of the day.
| Out OF the twenty-five runs made in the
| game but one was earned, and a description
of the run-getting would not be worth the
space. The score:
