Commissioner Raum Makes an Estimate OF
the Appropriation Necessary.
WASHINGTON, d. c., March 3.-The sub
committee of the house committee on pen
sions, Of which Mr.. Mutchler of Pennsyl
vania is chairman, today examined General
Raum, the commissioner Of pensions, with
reference to the estimates for pension ap-
preparation for the next fiscal year. The
commissioner said that the last year 81 $780,
600 had been spent for medical examina nations,
and this year 81, 500, 900 would be spent,
which would bring that work up to date.
The work Of medical examination had been
pushed forward with great deal of energy
and the appropriation on that account could
be deducted for the next fiscal year. The
actual amount of money expended on account
of pensions during the first six months of
the year was $63, ,065 673. There was now on
the Sbooks $2S, 934, 9y5 against which no
acquisitions had been made. and about $l5,-
600, 600 was in the hands OF agents, so that
$43, 600, 900 was on hand for the balance Of the
fiscal year. .. ..
Mir. O'Neill Of Massachusetts, suggested
that this amount OF money would not be
spent during the remaining months Of the
fiscal year.
Mr. Raum replied that Il must be remenl-
bered that the work was being pushed up
close to date, and that as the first payments
on the new claims averaged $35, considerable
money would pe necessary for this purpose
Mr. Mutchler called attention to the fact
that s125, ,0Oo, ,0c0 was asked for the next fiscal
and that on March the expenditures were
S,000,0o0 under the expenditures for the
corresponding month OF last year. so that
there ought to be money left over this year.

statement that 1t was |, and not his son, who
had done the courtiug before our marriage.
Mr. Blaine gave to the public garblod ex =

to the public letters which his son wrote to
me before our marriage which will prove
conclusively who 1t was that was tho wooer
"Great as Secretary Blaine Is, ho cannot
and will not be allowed to asperse my char
acter with impuuity and without rejoinder
on my part. II he persists In his attacks on
me, l will teach him to regret II. He set up
his love for his grandson as an excuse for an
attempt to besmirch me. love that child as
my son quite as much as Mr.. Blaine can love
him as grandson ana for that reason 1t is
my duty to see that his mother does not rest
under these charges unaus wered."

ADJUSTMENTS.

The Dowling-Hasson company gave a
change OF bill at the Farnam Street theater
last evening, presenting "The Red Spider"
The scene is laid in a Colorado mining town,
and the play is supposed to picture wild
western life. That sort of thing is generally
a very lurid affair, with blood and thunder
rampant, but the Dowling Hasson company
has toned down its eXtravagances and in-
iected considerably more than the regulation
allowance of acting. There are plenty of
exciting situations in which guns are pulled
and hands thrown up, but there is also a
story OF love aud another of betrayal.
Mr. Bowling acts the hero with suppressed
intensity, in agreeable contrast with the ira
ditional ranting border character Miss
Hassons character is lacking IN definiteness,
but she plays 1t iauntiiy aud uses treble
tone whose popularity is rather attractive.
The stars are adequately supported, the
makeup aud acting of w. Il. Harvey as a
tramp being especially notable. All in all,
the play is much better than the average of
its kind, and is produced by capable, well
balanced company.

KANSAS Cry, Mo-, March 3.-At today's
session of the annual Methodist conference
Of the Kansas district the report of tho com
mittee on the state of the country was pre-
sented and adopted. The report made a dis
tinct attack upon the Roman Catholic church.
In the preamble this passage occurred:
1.-THE Kansas conference of the Methodist
church has long observed the insidious en-
croachment of the Roman Catholic hie-
rarchy into the direction of public offices, the
dread Of the so-called Catholic vote with
which it has attempted to inspire time
serving politicians, the malevolent influences
of its active lobbying in national, state and
municipal legislation and the large sums OF
public money it has secured for its schools,
greatly disproportionate to the number of its
membership among the people and wholly
unwarranted by the educational results these
schools have accomplished"
The resolutions scored the house OF repre-
sentatives for its action in regard to the Car
Isle Indian school ana Captain II. r. Pratt.
the manager of the school. They commended
the school, its work and Captain Pratt.

Terrible Charges Brought Against q Chi
cagO Society Man.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, March Sit is an ugly thing
to say of q man who occupies good social
position that he murdered his mother In law
for her money. And yet. this is what Ii. F.
Dunton, an aged and wealthy gentleman who
lives at % Aldine square, accuses DR.. H. M.
Scudaer Of having done. Scudder married
an adopted daughter of Dunton, whose feeble
wife had a large fortune in her own righ t
which up TO a few days before the time of
her death she had proposed leaving to some
blood relatives, but which. at the last
moment, as. she lay in bed but half
her husband alleges, she was induced
to sign over to Scudder's wife. On Febru-
ary 81 another physician was hastily sum-
moned to her bedside and found her expir-
ing with ominous wounds in her head, pro-
duced by fall from her chair as she was
der was The last man said to have spoken
with her, and as he could not salts iacLorIly
account for the wounds suspicion foil on
him. And so warrant was sworn out for
his arrest by Mr. Dunton yesterday and, as
he is ILL., he is being guarded at his house by
policemen.
"Scudder was alone with my wife previous
to her doath," says the old man in justifca-
tion of his course. "rhe wounds on her
head were not there before he came. nor
was his explanation of the way in which
they were caused satisfactory To me. More
than this she had lately altered her will in
favor of his wife. Putting these things to-
gether am convinced that the young man
murdered my wife to gain her money"
The body of Mrs. Dunton was buried in
