New YORK, Feb. 6.-The sixth an
nual banquet of the New York Ohio
society took place at Delmonico's to-
night. In the large banquet hall,
were $50 sons of Ohio, who made jolly
over old times and who told patriotic
stories of the Buckeye state. Gov.
Campbell. of Ohio, had brought
with him two of the states
old war flags. The banquet
was one of the most successful that the
society has had, and the credit is due
chiefly to Homer Lee, chairman Of the
entertainment committee. The menu
was in imitation of the old swinging
sign-board with the scarlet grapes on
the old Bunch of Grapes tavern in Bos-
ton. as it appeared in 1856, and in which
the Ohio company was organized be-
fore starting out for march. When din

RAUM BREATHEs EASIER.
The Majority Report Exonerates
Him Completely.


Him Completely.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Representa-
tive Morrill,, chairman of the Raum in
vestigating committee, has made a re-
port which has been agreed to by his
Republican colleagues. The Demo-
cratic members of the committee will
present minority report. With regard
to the refrigerator branch of the inVestl-
cation, the report says:
There was entire absence of any evidence
showing or intending to show that any re-
fTigeratOr stock had ever been offered for
sale or purchased by any OF the employees of
the pension office, or that there was any
stock held by any one for the benefit of the
employees or any of their families, the only
exception claimed being Bradley Tanner
The committee finds that Mr.. Tanner
spent four days while he was on his
regular yearly leave of absence on the
company;S business, and wrote a few
letters for the company, but that he was
never interested in the Universal Re
fIigerator company. directly or indi-
rectly, and that his promotion was due
to Commissioner Tanner who appointed
him. The committee find that there is
no evidence to show any f3vOritiSm to
W. Lemon or any other attorney, and
no truth in the charges that Mr.. Lemon
procured situations in the pension Office
for his former employees.
At the invitation of the president,
Acting Secretary Nettleton participated
in to-daY'S cabinet meeting as the rep
reSentative of the treasury department.
1t is understood that the recent Indian
campaign and trade reciprocity Ques-
tions were considered.

Wrangling at Bismarck Over
Modes of Settling Them.

BISMARCK, n. d.. Feb. 6.-The COM
mittee, consisting of Lieut.. Gov. Alin
and Senators Worst and La Moure, ap-
pointed to devise way of drawing for
two and four year classes in the senate,
reported in favor OF drawing straws,
La Moure, who is from an odd district,
to hold the straws, and Worst, who is
from an even district, to draw. Senator
Ink moved as substitute that thirty
one envelopes be prepared, one contain
ing card with the words long term"
on it, and the districts to draw alter
nately until the ''long term" card should
be drawn. Mr.. La Moure thought the
suggestion of other schemes than that
agreed upon by the committee were
meant to be personal and as questioning
his honesty. After some wrangling the
matter went over till tomorrow. The
house spent most of the day in commit
tee of the whole and killed large num-
Der of bills, among them the bill fixing
the legal rate of interest at per cent.
The bill for clerk hire excited some dis
cuSsion in the senate, and after some
shaving passed that body.

OWenby's Testimony.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-J. NJ. Donald,

asked the senator several questions and
did not feel like taking up his time
with further inquiries. This was in

ALL IN THE FAMILY.
How the Harrisons Turn Money
to Themselves,

WASHINGTON, Feb. Ga very extra
ordinary story OF HarrIsonian thrift is
the gossip of Washington society just
now. An allowance of $4,000 a year is
made by the government for the main
tenance of the White house and the
grounds surrounding it. About $4,000 of
this goes tor the pay of servants and
employees around the presidential man
sion. 1t has been customary to
pay $1,000 a year to the house
keeper of the White house.
1t is said that the president APP
of Mrs. Harrison, as the first house
keeper, although she was an invalid
and lived the greater part of the time in
apartments in Twelfth street. She drew
this salary until the time of her death,
about fifteen months ago. The position
remained vacant for several months,
and it has just now become known that
Mrs. Dimmick, daughter of Mrs. Scott
Lord, was appointed to the place. The
duties of the housekeeper Of the White
house are not very clearly defined, BUTT
is presumed that they are looking afler
the servants and seeing that the man.
sion is kept in order. Mrs. Dimmick
may be a very good houSekeeper, but
inaSmuch as she is constantly IN society
and attending a succession of balls. din
ner parties.t teas and receptions, it would
appear that she has very little time left
to perform the duties of hOuSekeeper.
1t is regarded as q rather singular pro-
ceedng for a housekeeper to receive
with the lady of the house. This may
be the way the social function is done
in Indiana, but it scarcely goes here.
The meaning of this is that because
Mrs. Dimmck happens to be relative
of Mrs. Harrison she is put on the pay
roll at 81 200 for doing nothing. A veri-
fcation Of these statements may be had
upon application to the diSbursing Off
Ger of the White house.

WHO CAN TELL?
Free Silver Coinage Opinion Still
Indefinite.

Free Silver Coinage Opinion Still
Indefinite.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The action of
the house to-day in sustaining the de-
cIsion of the char (Mr. Payson), by
which Mr. Bland's free coinage amend
ment to the sundry civil bill was ruled
out of order, is thought by many to
mean that no free coinage bill can pass
this congress. There were probably
some Republicans who voted to sustain
the decision of the chair, who himself is
a silver man, because they believed that
the decision was in accordance with the
rules. A direct note on the free coin
age bill might result differently, but it
is not clear how direct vote on such a
bill can be had during this congress.
The leaders of The Republicans do not
propose to let free coinage bill 20 to the
president as rider on an appropriation
if they can help it, as this would make
his position particularly embarrassing,
and would probably result in the failure
of an appropriation bill, making an
extra session necessary. 1t is asserted
with a poSitiveness which indicates
knowledge that the president has made
up his mind that he will veto any bill
which carries free coinage, even if it
should be one of the regular appropria

LIVERPOOL, Feb. 6. - The British
steamer Knutsford, Capt. Harrison,
which arrived here Feb. l, from Calves

the steamer Drumhendrie, injuring the
latter to so great an extent that she
soon filled and sank. What added to
the particularly dangerous circum-
stances of the collision was the fact that
the Drumhendrie had on board cargo
of dynamite. Though the force of the
impact of the two steamers was sufi-
cient to crush in the plates of the Drum
hendrie, allowing the water to rush into
her hold, it was not sufficient to explode
the dynamite. Had the dynamite ex-
ploded the result would have been ter
ribly disastrous.
