WASHINGTON, March 24.-The pension
investigation committee this morning
examined a large number of papers
from the official files of the interior
department, among them the indorse-
ment and recommendation (signed by
Senators Cullom and Farnell and Greene
B. Raum} of Examiner Taylor, against
whom Raum later brought charges.
Commissioner Raum was called to the
witness stand again, and having said he
did not approve Secretary Mobiles action
in his (Raum's) sons case, without CIV
ing him fair trial, Enloe asked what he
thought of his sons action in dischargipg
seven special examiners without fair
trial. The commissioner replied that
he believed they were furnishing infor
nation to the newspapers-to one
Fleming, a newspaper writer, who wrote
articles intended to injure him Cthe
commissioner.
Speaking of having asked for the re-
tirement of General James Dugan from
his position in the pension Office, witness
said Dugan had made remark to the
effect that Lemon was the commissioner
and Raum his deputy. This witness
regarded as disrespectful. When Sen
ator Palmer OF Illinois came to
him in Dugan's behalf, he (Raum) said
he had no personal feeling against
Dugan, and if the latter would make a
suitable apology, he wonld bring the
matter before the secretary of the inte-
rior with view to his reinstatement.
Later, however, he was shown letter
written by Dugan to a newspaper, as
sailing General Bussey, and the mattey
OF his reinstatement was dropped.

Boring Sea Waters.
WASHINGTON, March 24.-The instruc-
tions to the naval officers assigned to
vessels intended for the protection of
the sealing industry have not yet been
wholly completed, but it is evident that
the operation of the vessels will this
year be extended not only to Bering sea,
but also to the waters within the three
mile limit along the entire Alaskan coast
from latitude 55 north to Enimak pass,
south of Bering sea. In this way the
seal herd, en- route to its rookery on the
Pribyloff islands, will be protected along
the entire coast, usually followed by the
poachers. Nearly $4,000 seals were
caught in these waters last years.
The revenue vessels Corwin and AL
batross have already gone to Alaskan
waters, and will soon be followed by the
Rush and the Bear and several naval
vessels,

Dead Miners Rescued From Their Un-

DUNBAR, Pa, March 24.-The dead
have been rescued from their untimely
tomb, and all that remains now is to
afford Christian burial to the miners
who met their fate in the Hill Farm
mine, June 10, 1890. The twenty-three
bodies found yesterday will be brought
to the surface for burial today. Six
more unfortunates cannot be recovered
until the water is all pumped out.
When found the bodies were huddled
together, showing that the imprisoned
miners had fed as far from death as
possible. The bodies were contorted in
ghastly shapes, indicating that the
miners had suffered the most horrible
tortures before death. The owners OF
the mine have expended 100000 in ac-
complshing the rescue of the bodies.

The Free Press relates a touching
little incident which may have a lesson
for both young and old.
An old man was leading a thin old
horse across the commons in the north
ern part of the city, when a passerby
asked him where he was going.
I'm searching for a bit of green for
the poor beast" he answered.
I'D send him to the bone-yard or

temptuously.

Profitable feeding in the dairy must

use of highly concentrated food. The
profitable medium lies in giving a
proper diversity of good, bulky food,

not exceeding six pounds of grain a

cloths wrung out of cold water, or
even an ice bag protected on the sur
face with dry flannel. When the ice
bag is employed remove the cold COM

and apply lamentations from twenty

ranch and two incubators, and expects

whose husband died about six years
ago and left her with two children.
He commanded the barge, and when
he died hecontinued in the trade, and
has managed her business affairs with
great success. Besides the barge of
which she takes charge, she owns three
others in the same trade. Her two
children are with her. She does as

the vocation, and carries two mules on

HOT WATER IN ERYsIPRLAs.

A writer in the Medical Summary
recommends hot water in erysipelas,
claiming it to be almost the pacific of
this disease when occurring as a local
maIady. We have used hot water In
various forms as a remedy for erysip-
elias, and for nearly twenty years have
found it e~xceedinly valuable. When
there is much local heat, it is useful,
however, to alternate the application
of hot water with cold congresses.
