aud taken TO an undertaking establish
ment. where An examination was made
10 determine the cause OF death. Upon
the examination 1t was proved beyond
doubt that the baby was born alive.
This proof was so unnl stakable that il
was concluded that the child was the
product OF illicit love, or something
worse. and that IL had been murdered
and thrown into the vault to save its
mother from disgrace. Acting upon
this theory, detectives were engaged to
ferret out the truth and u the end
that justice may not nc suoverted, the
names of persons and localities are
withheld until the detectives are pre-
pared to report. All persons who
might have been cognizant to the facts
are under surveillance, and it is prob

CALLS FOR PENSIONS.
Over S2OO,0O0,000 Required for
Pensions the Next Year.
RAUM'S REPORT NEARLY READY.
He Feels Confident that the Limit IL
Almost Rcsched-WiIi the Democrats
Attempt to Hamper the Work OF the
Pension Bureau?

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-There appe--s
to be more than usual interest attached
to the forthcoming annual report of the
commissioner of pensions for the reason
that the pension appropriation figures
conspicuously in the annual budget OF
the government. 1t has been pretty well
understood for some time past that the
estimates for the next fiscal year would
show large increase over any previous
year.
This expectation was based on the fact
OF the large issue OF pensions during the
year consequent upon recent pension leg
islation which admitted to a pensionable
status very large number OF soldiers
who were not pensionable under the for
mer laws. In a few days the report OF
Gen. Raum will be completed and full
statement OF the condition of the pension
Office Will be presented. The statements
have been made that the amount that will
be required for the pensions during the
next fiscal year will nearly reach the
enormous sum Of $500, 100000
For the year 1S90-91, the total appropri-
alton on account OF pensions was about
25,O0O,000. Last year there was an in
crease to y144, 900 900. But, as Gen. Raum
will state in his report, this amount fell
short OF the actual demands by about
$1S, 900, ,0SC, SO that there is a deficiency Of
that amount. Congress will be asked to
make an appropriation Of about $3.50, ,00o,-
600 for the coming fiscal year, about s1s,-
OO0, ,001 OF which is in an anticipation OF
an increase of that amount over the actual
expenditures OF the last year.
II Is the Judgment of Gen. Raum that
while this amount is likel-vso be increased
for the next year or two, yet he feels con-
fident that the maximum limits are nearly

DISASTER AND DESOLATION
Towns Submerged and Lives Lost by
Flood aud storm.

SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. 22.-Reports re
ceived from the districts visited ~ the re-
cent storm show far greater loss than
YVES at first anticipated. Al Sedro several
lives were reported lost and fatalities are
reported at Skagit and Stillaguminisb
from the floods, Mt. Vernon, LGconner,
Hamilton and other towns are under
water four or more feet deep, and people
are removing their effects to higher
ground, fearing still greater rise. The
Skagit River is so full OF logs and drift
that navigation is suspended. Nearly a
million feet OF logs came down yesterday,
tearing out the piers OF two wagon bridges
al Mt. Vernon.
The banks Of the river are lined with
people watching the mad torrent. Sever
al breaks have occurred in the levee, and
the valleys and the towns are the scenes
OF desolation. The lower floors of the
houses are covered with several feet OF
water and the water in the streets Is SO
high as to make walking impossible. AT
one place the break i'll the levee is half a
mile long and six feet wide and the tor
rent Is rushing madly thrcNgh the town
OF Fir. Beaver Marsh and the town of
LaconEer are also flooded and the farmers
are driving their stock TO high ground.
The damage to the farming districts alone
will reach hundreds of thousands of dol
lers.
