No Order Against 1t, but 1t is Stopped in
Respect for Secretary Mobiles Wish.

The smell of tobacco smoke is no longer no.
ticed in the Interior Department. The cigars

the Secretary summoned Chief Clerk Dawson
and told him that SO many members
of Congress complained about tobacco smoke
that the of the weed must be stopped in
the department. Chief Clerk Dawson quietly
slipped through the building informing Off
cials that they must either quit smoking or

the members Of the committee TO say that the
first intimasion they had that one of the men,

duced The conduct OF the gentleman
from Ohio had been perfectly honorable. He
seemed TO be DESTROYS Of arriving at the truth,
and the whole truth. He did not doubt the
gentlemans motives in the least, but he hoped
now that in order TO relieve the other members
he would promptly withdraw from the commit
tee.
MIR. sMYsHh ASKS TO BE RELIEVED.
Mr.. smyser felt that there was nothing in
the charges against Gen. Raum in any way

side Of the House and country, in duty to HIM
self, he mont respectfully asked to be relieved
from further service on the committee.
The request was granted. The Speaker
stated that when he appointed the committee
he had no knowledge Of any relation between
the gentleman from Ohio and the company
referred to.
The chair had made the appointments from
the committee on pensions and on invalid PEN
sions because he thought il would facilitate the
disposal of the matter to have gentlemen serv-
ing on the committee who had some knowledge
Of the Pension Office.

The WETZEL CLAIM,
Property Owners In the City of WASH
ington Need Not Be Alarmed.

Columbus, Ohio, special to the New York
Tribune says: Owners of real estate in the ma
tionai capital valued at 800. 600, 900. are to be
called upon to defend their title to the prop
erty. The parties who lay claim to the tract
embracing LOO acres in the pop
uous part of Washington, are de-
scendants Of Mrs. Wetzel and nearly all
of them live in and around Columbus. They
are Mrs. Luther Donaldson, Mrs. Elan Begg,
Mrs P. ]. Lohand, George, Charles and Will
lam Johnson, Mrs. Hannah Edge and Mrs
Reizen Ferguson. The latter lives in Indian
apols. Mrs. Wetzel was the grcat-grand-
mother of Mrs. Beggs Mrs. Donaldson and
Mrs. Lofand are ha]f-sisters and cousins-ger-
man OF Mrs. Beggs. Power of attorney has
been signed by all of the parties. and was filed
with the county clerk last evening for trans
mission to lawyer of Washington, who dis
covered the alleged defect in the title while
examining the papers for the transfer of Sec
rotary Whitney's Washington house when the
latter retired with the Cleveland administra-
ton.
The above special is wrong in several very
material points. The 1.700 acres claimed are
not i'll the populous part of Washington, but in
the neighborhood of Tenleytown. far outside
the city limits. and takes in the property
bought by Secretary Whitney and other
large and small tracts in that vicinity.
The value is nowhere near 500
10000 The claimants are descendants
OF one Fred. WetZell, who had q grant from
the British crown. His descendants do not
live nearly all in and around Columbus, but in
and around the District of Columbia and be-
sides the families above named comprise men,
hers OF the WetZe!l. Crown, Poor. Collins and
other well-known families. The tract claimed
is miles away from Secretary Whitney's former
city residence.

Mr.. Rodolph Claughton. the attorney referred
