MORE TALK.
COMMISSIONER RAUM IMAGiNES
THAT THERE is
A Conspiracy in Washington to Get Him
Out of ORce-He Says He will Not
Resign Unless Requested.
More Talk from Raum.

Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON. May 19.-Gen. Raurn, COM
missioner of pensions. has returned to
Washington from his visit to Chicago. A
reporter called his attention TO the state
ments that he contemplated resigning his
Office. In reply the commissioner said:
Il have not said it was my intention to
resign, but | have said that | could not un-
dertake TO administer SO important trust
as the Office of commissioner Of pensions
without the confidence and support of the
president and secretary of the interior, and
l now say have TOO much personal regard
for the president and too great desire for
the success of his administration to give
him any embarrassment. | had an inter-
view to-day with Assistant Secretary
Chandler who is now acting secretary of
the interior, and also with Assistant Secre-
tary Busy. They both expressed to me
their entire satisfaction of my administrae
ton and their entire confidence in me
personally"
The commissioner then said he wished
the public to understand that there is
coterie of men in Washington, few of
whom are in the pension office, who have
formed conspiracy to break down my
character as d public officer and private
citizen and to bring the pension office into
public disrepute. | am not to be driven
from the pension office by these men.
have devoted my best thought and energy
TO its organization and as grand bureau it
is at present one of the most efficient work
ing organizations of the government
While there are a few persons who should
BE REMOVED FOR DISLoYALTY
and inefficiency, the great body of officers
is composed of intelligent, Industrious men
and women, who are performing their
duties with fidelity and zeal and without
partiality or favoritism to any one. We
are now dlSpoSlng of more than 30, 900 cases
4 month and expect TO see this number
considerably increased. My wish is to see
the pensions, which are justly due TO old
soldiers, granted to them while they are
living ana to have the benefit of them, and
! believe the old soldiers of the country will
appreciate the labor which is now being
performed in their interest in the Office
Then, Mr.. Commissioner, you do not
contemplate resigning at this time" asked
the reporter
Il do not; :" and the commissioner added
that his relations with Secretary Noble
were friendly and pleasant and there was
no quarrel between the secretary and him
self.

ganize the roads affairs and take it out of

terday after n tour of the entire system.

In an interview Mr.. Lott said that he had
no idea what the outcome would be. The

success or failure of the attempt, and
would depend altogether upon the willing

effort will be made to liquidate the claims

THE READING ROOMS.
Much Interest Manifested in it by the
Railroad Men.

Probably no question has ever been agi-
tated by The GAZETTE that mas evoked so
much interest among the men in rail
road service rs that of the Fort Worth
rallroad mems club. The plan as outlined
in THE GAZETTE has been the subject OF
considerable discussion and the men are
willing TO do all in their power TO aid the
project. The iGea of having 4 club they
can call their own: where they are free TO
60 and come as they please and where they
can entertain visiting railroad men is 4
feature novel IN many respects, and one
that ELECTS their interest. y great many
railroad men are Young and unmarried.
They have no place 10 pass their leasure
time when not on duty. except around their
hotels ami boarding houses. Time
often hangs heavily on their hands
and they drift into dissipation which they
would not do had they place of resort,
that was sacred TO them alone. and where
opportunities for reading, writing, games,
etc, were provided. The matter is being
thoroughly considered and various plans
have been suggested. A meeting will be
called shortly at the Chamber of Com
merCe to consider the question and take ths
necessary steps TO put the project on its
feet The cooperation of all citizens OF
Fort Worth is heartily desired in this
matter
