WASHINGTON VIKINGS.
NUMEROUS GuEssEs AS TO Sec
RETARY WINDOWS SUCCESSOR.

Mr. News Recall Considered Significant.
Cannon Possibility-Postal Telegraph
Project Killed in Committee-Routine
Doings of Congress.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The published
statement that Consul General New had
been cabled to return to the United
States, presumably to accept the position
of secretary of the treasury is matter
that excites much interest in official cir
cles. Assistant Secretary of State Whar-
ton said that Mr.. New had not applied
for leave Of absence, had not been called
by the state department, as far as he
knew, and was presumably at his post.
Whether the president had cabled for
him Mr.. Wharton could not say. Pri-
vate Secretary Halford said if the presi-
dent wanted to appoint Mr.. New the
most direct way it seemed to him would
be to appoint him and not cable for him
to come here and then appoint him.
Cannon . Probability.
WASHINGTON, Feb. "a report is
current that Representative Cannon is
going to be secretary of the treasury.
Mr.. Cannon has not been informed of it
yet, and, as a matter of fact, the presi-
dent has not got to the point where q
choice can be made. The Illinois rep
resentative, however, is much more of q
probability for Secretary Wlndom's sue
cessor than is generally supposed.

'RAUM EXONERATED.
The Majority Report of the Investigating

The Majority Report of the Investigating
Committee Holds Him Blameless.
WASHINGTON, Feb. THE special
committee of the house that investi-
gated the charges against Gen. Raum,
the commissioner of pensions, has com
pleted its report of the inquiry, and Rep
resentative Merrill, the chairman of the
committee, will submit it to the house.
The report was agreed to by the three
Republican members of the committee,
and minority report will be signed by
the Democratic members of the commit
tee. The majority report will fully ex-
onerate Mr.. Raum from the charges
selling refrigerator stock to en-
ployes and promoting them in conse-
quence of their purchase, and in show
ing favoritism to Attorney Lemon, in
advancing pension cases in his charge.

Suit Brought in Xenia to Recover Money
ON Contract.
XEN1A, Ohio, Feb. "A legal
struggle was begun in the common
pleas court which will be of interest to

which is a branch of the National COM
pany, known as the Twine Trust. The
suits are for 81, ,25e each, being one
quarter of the annual amount each was
to get for the use of their bindertwine
spindles, which they leased to the
National Cordage company one year ago
for term of five years. They had beep
paid one years stipend, but when the
quarterly sum was due Jan. l the

Money That win Not BE Paid,


The postofice department win not
pay the 81, 900 reward offered for the
capture and conviction of Rube Bur-
row. There is a standing reward offered
by the postofice department for the cap
ture and conviction of any one robbing
the mails. This is the reward that ap-
piled to Rube Burrow. But it will not
be paid because there was no convic-
tion, nor has proof been established in
court that Rube Burrow robbed the
mails. The department. officers know he
did, but they never pay reward with
out legal proof and conviction. Thus
the capturers Of Rube Burrow viii fail
to get 81 900 of the 1900 reward on the
head of the noted outlaw.-Atlanta Con
stitution. IL

that the parties are still alive but terri
bly, frozen. DR.. Jones and wife, of Hill
