The Raum Investigation.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-Deputy PEN
sion Commissioners Charles T. Lincoln
wa the first witness to-day before
the special committee investigating the
charges against Commissioner Raum.
He testified that the completed files sys-
tenn as recommended by Lemon did not
commend itself to his judgment. Claim
ants without attorneys would be placed
at a disadvantage by the completed files
system if they did not know the practice
of the Office, if all of the time was taken
up by completed cases. He did not De-
lieve the slightest degree Of partiallty or
favoritism had been shown by an officer
or employe Of the pension bureau towards
any attorney. The new order was giving
more satisfaction to the country at
large than the original plan and had con-
siderably expedited business. He could
not say that the inequality between claim
ants with and without attorneys was
greater now than under the old system.
He did not know or hear of any en-
ployes in the pension Office who owned
and had been solicited to buy any re-
frigerator stock. He had heard of the
company and told the commissioner that
if he would tell him when there was any
money IN it he would like to
subscribe, but had never been told
Representative Cooper had several wit
nesses who we're going into the merits of
the refrigerator until the commissioner
objected. Cooper insisted and said he
would carry the matter before the house
if not heard in committee. Cooper said
he couldn't prove that Raum knew the
invention was a fraud, but he ought to
know.

A Wonderful Mind Reader.

. CHICAGO, Sept. 9.-P. Alexander john

powers have of late mystified and as
tonished the people of Chicago, per-
formed a feat to-day which totally
eclipsed all similar records, at least in
this city. When Bishop, the mind read

formed the same feat in western cities,
and to-day his manager, W. Gooding, de-
cided to attempt the same test that re-
suited fatally to Bishop in New York,
that of finding a name in a register and
p%ronouncing it. A committee consist

a hack from Auditorium hall to the
Grand Pacific hotel by a difficult route
and going to the hotel register selected
a name, leaving n committeeman,
Charles Lederer, in charge of the regis
ter. They returned to the auditorium,
where tombstone had remained in the
custody of one of the committee, so that
there could be no possible apparent
chance for COLLISION. They bandaged
Johnstone's eyes securely. The sequal
was astonishing. tombstone instantly
rushed down to a carriage and drove
blindfolded to the Grand Pacific, avoid
ing cable cars and thousands of vehicles
on the way, rushed to the register, turned
the leaves rapidly, found the name and
repeated it, gave the number OF the page
and date OF the month. The Grand Pa
cifc hotel and adjacent streets were so
filed with people that all traffic was sus-
pended. tombstone, on his way home
from the hotel, was taken with a severe
chill, which threw hum into a cataleptic
fit. The physicians at first pronounced
him dead, but after working yer hum
for some hours life was again preceptible.

to-day among the race events was the ten
mile ladies' riding ace for the champion
ship of the northwest and a purse of
$1,000 between Jennie Rush of Ken

The vast audience cheered as the,two
ladies started on equal terms and each

the Kentucky lady gained, but lost it all
and more, too, in changing her horses in
the fourth mile, when in dismounting she
fell. At the close of nearly every mile
thereafter q change of horses was made,
and as many times each of the fair con-
testants was in the lead. Miss Rush did

Indignation over Kennedy's Attack.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-Much indigna-
ton exists among republican senators over
Representative Kennedy's attack upon the
senate as q whole and Senator Quay in
particular yesterday. Several cOnsulta-
lions have been held. butno plan of action

THE SITE

There IL u Possibility the Worlds Fair
Will BE Held ON the Lake Front.
CHICAGO, Sept. Gan evening paper
says: It looks as though the major part
of the worlds fair will be held on the
lake front after all. Heretofore difficult
ties in the way of an agreement being
reached between the exposition directors
and the Illinois Central railroad people
have seemed insuperable. These, in the
opinion of the directors, have been over
come at last. The Illinois Central Off
cials have sent to the committee on
grounds and buildings a letter in which
the company agrees practically to all the
conditions laid down at the outset. In
this note, on which it is understood the
Illinois Central people are all agreed, the
company consents to the use Of the lake
front east of it's tracks for worlds fair
purposes, and agree to the piling and
filling in of the lake and to a satisfactory
arrangement of it's tracks during the ex-
position. 1t Is further stipulated that
should the supreme court decide the suit
now pending before it regarding the lake
front and riparian rights IN favor OF b
company, the latter will reimburse the
exposition company for the cost of the
work. In such event, also, the road
agrees to give the exposition corpora
ton the use of the ground rent free, and
to allow one years time after the close of
the exposition for removal of buildings.
The new proposition received from the
Illinois railroad is as follows: A strip of
the lake shore 500 feet in width, running
from the south side of jackson street
south to Park row, will be piled, giving
the total acreage that will be used sew
enty acres. The Illinois Central agrees
to wall in its tracks and construct via
ducts over them. The cost is estimated
at half a million dollars which they
agree to pay. It was also rumored that
q large majority of the directors present
were i'll favor of the proposition, mas
much as 1t would not be necessary for
them to take back the site already ten
dered to the national commission.

Baton Rouge Advocate:
The cowardly and brutal assassination ot
Chief Hennessy in New Orleans and the dis.
closure that behind it is the Italian order OF
the Malta, a gang of desperate foreigners, ready
to do any bloody work for hire at the bidding
of their masters, has aroused deep Indignation

other leading newspapers, North and South.
discuss and comment on it in its various
phases. The general conclusion of the press
is that the American people ought now to- be-
gin to consider whether the time has not at
last come when the United States should put
q check to indiscriminate immigration, aud
especially protect the country from the horde
of vicious and lawless foreigners who are
hocking to our large cities. 1t is not New
Orleans alone which has suffered from this
curse. New York has been for many years
virtually controlled by its foreign element,
and in Chicago the depraved and desperate
of oil nations have gathered, bringing with
them the foul political excrescences of the old
world which they are trying to engraft on
our social and industrial system. There are
few cities exempt from similar influences,
and all of them feel that they are forced TO
harbor an element of danger in a greater or
less degree, which they would be glad to get
rid of but must endure untilthey find the cure.
As the Globe-Democrat says. there is no
room IN this country for the Italian Mafiaj
nor Tor any otherorganization whose purposes
and tendencies anita gonize the interests of So
cial order, Justice ard security The idea
Of protection, says that paper, as applied to
the exclusion of European assassins and va
grants will surely be approved By all parties.
It is question Of patriotism in q practical
sense. We have as much Of this Objectionable
material Ia our population as we can hope to
restrain and control; and the sooner We give
notice that We viii receive no more the better
