REFRIGERATOR RAUM.

Did He Float Stock in His Ice Box Com.
pany Among Pension Clerks?
WASHINGTON, Aug. 'N.-The Raum inves-
tigation was resumed this morning.
Cooper, who made the charges, made q
brief explanation Of his position, after
which Raum took the stand. Witness de-
MED that any employe of the pension Office
save himself ever owned stock in the rerfig-
orator company, and consequently the
charge that employees had been promoted
because of such ownership was false.
Cooper then demanded to see the books of
the company, but Raum refused to produce
them. He was willing the members of the
committee should inspect the stock book of
the company, but not that it should go into
the records. Mr.. Raum said Cooper gave
to the press everything he got hold of, and
has made public documents entrusted to
him for inspection of the committee on
rules. Cooper insisted on seeing the books
himself, and upon the committee refusing
he gathered up his books and papers and
left the room. The committee then re-
sumed the investigation on its own hook.
Commissioner Raum said he had bor-
rowed 1000 upon the endorsement of Geo,
E. Lemon and renewed the notes from time
to time. The Refrigerator company was
organized l06t JANUARY ana was composed
of men of high standing. He never gave
priority to any claims for Lemon or any
other attorney. Lemon was anxious to
have his cases before the pension Office
pushed along. He presented a number of
slips, each relating to the case which was
reported to be ready for action. The witness
asked him to make up twenty-five or
thirty cases and present his views. This
was done. The witness presented Lemons
letter to the committee, and it was read.
It enclosed thirty complete pension cases,
dated Nov. 16 last, and expressed the hope
that the bureau would begin the practice III
considering such complete cases Immediate
". The letter was referred to the deputy
commissioner for report, and he reported
against the plan. Therefore the witness
made no order, written or YER
bal, for taking up Lemons cases
in advance of the regular order.
Raum said that after further examination
and consideration of the matter he, on
Dec. %, issued an order concerning COM
pleted files, on which were put cases that
seemed to be most complete, and ready for
adjudication. This had the effect of great
" expediting the work of the Office Capt.
Lemon had nothing to do, he asserted.
with the preparation of this or any subse-
quent order. Representative Cooper was
requested by the committee to return and
resume his connection with the case. which
he did. and the committee adjourned.

The Conference Committee Decides
Against His Ridiculous
Arid Land Map.
It Appropriates 100000 for Pub
lio Surveys That He VIII
Not Control.
The Work OF Investigating Raum and His
Refrigerator Company Bexun-Other
Warrington News

WASHINGTON. Aug. 21.-[Special.1 - The
northwestern senators are feeling quite
elated to- night over the probable agree
ment of the conference committees on the
sundry civil bill upon amendments of the
senate in regard to surveys, and the repeal
of the arid land withdrawal act of 1888.
The 100000 appropriated for surveys Of
public lands is retained in the bill, being .
much larger appropriation than has been
given for this purpose in many years. The
repeal of the arid land withdrawal is agreed
to with proviso that no man shall take
more than $40 acres of land within that
country designated as arid. This reduces
the amount which one man can take under
the desert land act one-half, while the set
tiers cannot exercise,the right of homestead,
presumption and timber culture laws, AZ in
other parts of the country. Az the bill now
pending in the senate repeals the timber
culture and pre-emption laws the provision
reducing the minimum OF lands TO be taken
to $40 acres will not work great hardships.
the main fight made by the senators from
all the new states being to secure the repeal
of the arid land withdrawal. This is de-
cided set back for Powell, of the geological
survey, whose friends in the house made a
vigorous fight for him. In fact, the delay
upon the agreement to the sundry civil bill
has been almost alone upon the proposition
to retain the obnoxious law upon the statute
books and to give Powell 100000
for continuing the survey. This latter sum
has been entirely stricken out and Powell
is given $500, 900 to continue the topograph-
ical survey, which he was using the money
appropriated for irrigating surveys to carry
out. OF this latter sum S15O,OOO must be
expended west of the 10th meridian. The
senator's who have made the hard fight for
the repeal of the withdrawal act, Messrs.
Moody, Casey and Allen, and Mr.. Power, of
the new states, having given the matter their
personal attention, are quite we'll satisfied
with the result. Senator Casey says that SO
far as North Dakota is concerned, that
state is restored to its normal condition,
besides having a larger appropriation for
surveys. The provision cutting down the
amount Of land to be taken under the des-
ert land act will make no difference in his
state, while the increased appropriation for
survey, together with increases for clerk
hire in the surveyor-general's Office. will
be more beneficial than all that
Powell could do in the next thirty years.
Senator Casey believes that artesian irriga-
tion is the only practicable plan for the
Dakotas and expects even the investigation
made under the appropriation of $4,000
last spring and $4,000 in the deficiency
bill will show to congress that great good
can be accomplished by a small expendi-
ture for artesian wells.

1t will be noticed that Mr.. Couch's card
carries no reflection on the authenticity of
the interview a. it appeared in this paper
on the morning Of the 18th inst. II was
genuine in all parts beyond the shadow Of
doubt, and Mr.. Couoh's failure to criticise
any portion Of 1t adds his further endorse
ment to views expressed at that time. No
fairer interview was ever printed in this
state. Mr.. Couch corrects a paragraph that
subsequently appeared. It is possible that
Mr.. Mantle's name was not coupled with
the expression quoted. It is an immaterial
question of memory at the best. Tho bur
den of Mr.. Couch's talk was concerning
Mr.. Mantle's position in the republican
party of Silver Bow county. When he
speaks Of political ostracism, to whom is
that phrase to be attached il not to Mr..

COUGHS memory his explanation in no way
dis9uises the very plain inference Of his
remark.
