1t was represented to the Consul General,
by the consignors, that it is unfair to re-

a Hummine.B,rd p,avs ..possum. >,

The family of John n Isbell, at their
summer home on the Madison shore, have
discovered queer way to capture hum
mipg-birds alive Recently small hum
ming-bird which had frequented the flow
ers on the veranda was observed teaching
two of its young to sip honey from the
buds. The old bird, as well as the little
ones, was quite tame, but the latter were
evidently unskilled in the art of extract
ing honey. Their efforts resulted in ruin
ing many of the tender flowers. One of
the ladies on the porch tossed cap at
the young intruders as if to warn them
that they must take more pains with
their work or else seek flowers else
where. The old bird Immediately re-
sented this insult by falling seemingly
in faint or trance. In this condition
she permitted herself to be captured and
inspected, but it was observed that one
eye was always open to take in the
situation. Luckily for the mother bird,
her captors soon released her, placing her
uninjured on the floor. After waiting
till all was quiet, the old bird came to
life and took wing to rejoin her young,
who were still engaged in their abortive
assaults on the flowers. This story is
vouched for by the members of the FAM
ily.-Ne,c Haren Palladium.

THE RAuM 1NvEsrIGAr1oN.
What One of the Majority Members Says
of the Minority Report

What One of the Majority Members Says
of the Minority Report.
WASHINGTON, October 2d-Judge Saw.
yer, on behalf of the majority of the Raum
Committee. stated TO- might to an Associated
Press reporter that he learned with surprise
that minority report had been given out.
1t was well understood bv the committee
that the evidence was not all in and the in
vestigetlon not closed. Taking up the al
legations 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 evidence, incomplete though it was.
As to the list of stockholders, the proof
showed that Smyser subscribed alone for
the stock, and that others interested with
him made no subscriptions.
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
sion Office during Office hours. His asso-
citation with the District of Columbia
branch company was purely nominal, and
the company itself had not yet been brought
into active existence. Tanners promotion
was shown to have been made in fulfill
ment of promise to Raum's predecessor.
With this exception, there was no evil
dence to show anybody employed in the
Pension Office was directly or indirectly
the owner of any stock in the refrigerator
company.
The majority have carefully analysed the
testimony with regard to favoritism to
attorneys, and have reached the conclusion
that favoritism was impossible. The ma
jority of the committee earnestly approved
the orders establishing a complete file sys-
tenn as expediting business. They found
there was no evidence TO show that the
Commissioner ever failed to give time and
attention to duties which should be exc
cuted.
Judge Sawyer said, in conclusion, that he
gave expression to what he understood to
be the views of the majority, with some
hesitation. because he did not understand
that the investigation had yet closed, but as
the minority had seen fit to make their
statement, he thought it only proper 10
do so.
When asked in regard to Lemons in
dorsement, Judge Sawyer replied that the
evidence established the fact that Lemon
Endorsed notes for General Raum to the
extent of $4,000, and received as collateral
1000 shares in the Gypsum Mining Com
pany in Virginia. The evidence was that
this enterprise had been brought to Lemons
attention before Raum became Commits
sioner. The only evidence before the
committee, as to the value of the shares,
was that one sale had been made at S34 per
share

Fashion Tin,

As royalty gives the tip to fashion, the
following from the Queen will not be un-
interesting: At the Ascot, on Cup Day,
the Princess of Wales was, as she ever is,
the observed of all observers. She looked
very lovely in dress Of deep decided
cream-colored silk wrought with a small
design of rosebuds and tender pale-green
leaves. The dress was made coat shape,
with the sleeves quite fat on the shoul-
ders. 1t opened over skirt of cream
colored satin set in wide. straight plaits.
Her Royal Highness wore a small bonnet
of golden gauze, with brim of fulled black
velvet, and pink rose or two at one side.
A rose was also fastened in the narrow
black velvet strings just beneath the royal
lady's chin. The Princess wore a long
boa of curled cream-colored ostrich feath-
ers, and, when leaving the box for the
drive back to Sunningdale, donned a
lovely cloak of white corded silk, elabor-
ately embroidered with gold.

Seventh Day Rest.

Probably no, one has ever doubted the
wisdom of the decree that man should rest
on every seventh day, although the reason
therefor may not have been made clear.
Experiments, conducted at Munich have
brought out one of them. 1t was demon
strated that the system loses oxygen to the
amount of one ounce as the result of
hard days work. 1t was found that the
laborer does not recover during the night
the oxygen he has overdrawn, but that an
occasional day of rest, coming just at the
right time. will serve completely to restore
the equilibrium and make him as good as
new. 1t was also shown that the amount
of exhaustion of the oxygen Of the system
lin other words, of the life power-by six
days of labor, is the amount that can be
supplied by day of complete rest

Leave for Their Homes.
WASHINGTON, October 2d.-There were
only about six members of Congress who
had any use for the Capitol today. There
were not more than three in the hall at
any one time, and none of them stayed
more than few minutes. Speaker Reed
left for home to-day, and nearly all the
members who could get train accommoda-
tions are on their way home or will start
to-day.
The ticket offices have been doing big
business last night and to-day, and num-
Der of members have had to delay their
departure day or two because sleeping
car accommodations could not be had.
The members are eager to get into the
fall campaign, and are expecting to have
hot work from the moment they strike
the boundary lines of their respective dis
tricts Most of them have engagements
for speeches for every week between now
and November, those who have no
trouble at home being engaged to work
for their friends and colleagues. Some
have made arrangements to speak in dis
tricts through which they pass on their
way home.
During the session there has been much
talk of certainty" that the Democrats
would have a majority in the next Con-
gress, and many Republicans have been
ready to concede that the Democrats
would elect the next Speaker.
But taking closer view of the cam
paign, as they are about to enter it, the
Democrats are not as sanguine and the
Republicans are in better fighting trim.
The Democratic Campaign Committee
is sending out large quantities of docu-
ments, but it is short of money, and the
local committees are expected to take
charge of affairs at home.
The Republican members of the present
House are not the only ones who are hav-
ing close fight for reelection. Several
Democrats are IN dangerous position and
there is going to be the hardest fighting
that the politicians can make. There is a
chance that the Democrats will not make
as many gains in Ohio as they have been
calculating on. Mckinley is very apt to
be reelected, and the fighting ground is
spread out so as to tax the resources of the
committees

WASHINGTON. October ID - Secretary
Tracy was not long in considering the bios
for tie new cruisers, and to-day announced
that the Department had decided to Sward
the contract for two of the battleshipS' and
ihe cruiser to Cramp Il Sons of Ph2adel-
phia. and the third bsttleship to Scsteof
the Union Iron Works. All of the bs<;le-
Ships are to be built exactly alike, and all
of them longer than the designs furnished
by the Depart raent.
Secretary Tracy will take under considers
alton she proposal of the Cramps to ADJ
twelve feet to each ship, which would
make ;he displacement 1850 TONS 1t Is
altogether probabae that the ships will be
as much as eighteen feet longer than pro-
posed by the Department designs. This
would bring the displacement up to over
10 Geo tons.
1t is understood that Scott is willing to
build his vessel according 10 the modi-
fed plans, provided the contract price is
correspondingly increased. Mr.. Scott left
for New York this evening.

ARIZONA TERRITORY.
Statement of Affairs During the Past
Fiscal Year.

Fiscal Year.
WASHINGTON, October 2d-Affairs in the
Territory of Arizona during the fiscal year
just closed are detailed in report made to
the Secretary of the Interior, by n. G. Mur-
ply, Acting Governor. He states that he
is unotficially informed that the recent GEN.
sus shows the population of the Territory
to be $1,000, exclusive of Indians and mill
tary reservations, and with those who live
on the reservations mot Indians) the pop
ulation of the Territory is probably 60 600,
a gain in ten years of 10 $50.
The mining industry report states that il
is in a more healthy condition than ever.
But great attention is being paid to agri.
culture, owing to the productiveness of the
lands.
Owing to restrictive legislation in Idaho
and the probability of similar action in
Utah, the Acting Governor thinks the i'm.
migration of Mormons to Arizona will in
crease the number of Mormons in the Ter.
ritory, now estimated at one-fifth of the
population. The report states that unless
restrictive measures are adopted, the Terri
tory will become Mormonized to such an
extent as to seriously disturb society and
the affairs of government, and prejudice
the Territory's chances for Statehood. He
therefore recommends Congress to grant
the same protection to Arizona as is en-
joyed by Idaho. and that the Idaho test
oath be made applicable to Arizona.
The report says Arizona has quite q
sprinkling of Mexicans among its popula-
lation; the majority of them have be-
come naturalized citizens, and are in SYM
pathy with American laws and customs.
There are few Chinese in the Territory, as
compared with the Pacific coast States, and
as yet they cut no figure as disturbing
element, although they are very objection
able as a class, and their exclusion is as
much desired in Arizona as elsewhere.
The acting Governor recommends that
al Enabling Act for the admission of Ari,
zona into the Union be passed by Congress;
that all public lands within the Territory
be donated to it; that all school lands be
donated to the Territory for school pur-
poses; that the San Carlos Apaches be re-
moved from the Territory and the reserva.
ton be opened for settlement; that the
salaries of the present Judges IN Arizona
be increased to 5000 per year, and tina,
the pay OF Legislators be increased to SIC
per day.

Mortality from Consumption.

In paper on tuberculosis in Belgium,
NM. Desire and Gallmaerts come to the
conclusion, as the result of their investi-
cations, that, in comparing the mortality
from consumption of bachelors, married
men and Iidowers, the last are very much
more subject to this disease than either of
the other classes. The same statement
holds good for all ages, and it is, they say,
also true that widows are more liable than
single women to die of phthisis. The
authors do not think this is to be ex-
planned except by direct contagion of wife

killed him.
