Leary to Launch Another Raft.

ST. JOHN. N. B., May 15.-James d. Lea
~, the great raft builder. is about to set an
other one afoat. Operations have been lcar-
ried on for him the past winter at several
points on the st. John river and tributaries.
A number of cribs have been built, but there
is danger of sixteen of them at Hart's Lake
being stranded for lack of water. Unless
there is a strong spring freshet he will be
unable to bring them to Pond Lake, where
tugs wait to tow them to st. John. Here
they are to be made up into raft, and ocean
tugs will come from New York to take them
to that port. James Murray, ex-American
Consul, has superintended the work.

YOUNG RAUM RESIGNS.
Charges Against Him Made Him
Useless as a Public officer.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-Green B. Raum,
Jr., son of the Commissioner of Pensions
has rendered his resignation as assistant
chief clerk of the pension bureau, and the
same has been accepted. For some time
rumors affecting the official conduct of Mr..
Raum, Jr., have found their way to Secreta-
ry Noble. but not until just before his de-
parture for ST. Louis, about one week ago,
did he come into possession of facts that
would warrant him in taking official action
in the matter. He then learned, upon what
appeared to be perfectly trustworthy testi-
mOny, that Mr.. Raum, Jr., had been party to
certain irregular and unlawful proceedings
in connection with three appointments to
minor positions in tnespension bureau. The
temporary appropriation to his own uses of
$72 belonging to the government is also
charged against him. Mr.. Raum, Jr., stout
ly protested his innocence of the charges
made against him, but the Secretary thought
that, in any event, his usefulness in the PEN
sion bureau was at an end, and so deter
mined to require his resignation.

LONDON, May 15.-The public interest in
the American pursuit of the Gillian vessel
Itata overshadows everything of European
nature, and the latest news is sought for
with the most eager curiosity. The SYM
pathy of the British press is almost unani-
mously with the insurgents and there is no
concealment of the irritation felt at the
course of the United States in taking the op-
portunity to strike blow at their cause.
Apart from this. however. the affair excites
interest from naval standpoint as possibly
providing test of the efficiency Of the new
American navy. At the Chilan Embassy
there is no concealment of the delight
caused by the action of the American govern
ment Secretary Luco, said today: "The
United States has shown high sense of in
ternational justice in resolving that its ter
ritory shall not lbe used as base of sup
plies for rebels against the Chilian govern
ment"
The Standard in an editorial this morning
says; "We can only account for Americas
extraordinary zeal In pursuing the Chilian
steamer Itata on the assumption that the
government is delighted at having an oppor-
tunity of retrOspectively justifying its Ala
bama contention, as against England. 1t is
doubtful, however, whether this ingenious
ternational law"
