less for His Acts.

ClerK dorsey HOlde congressman BIamo-
less for His Acts.
WASHINGTON, April s. - Representa-
tive Brookshire this morning testified
before the Raum investigating commit
tee that he employed Hersey to attend
to his pension business. because he
(Brookshire) had writer's paralysis. He
did not know Hersey was using his
name for personal ends. He never au-
thorized it.
Representative Gantz OF Ohio testified
that he employed Hersey to look after
his pension claims because he under
stood him to be very efficient at that
work. He did not know that Hersey
misused his name.
Hersey testified that he also worked
for Durborrow of Illinois and Perkins of
Iowa in the last congress. He also
worked for Martin and Struble of Iowa.
Witness had no understanding with
the congressman, except to render them
good service, and none of them knew
he was receiving pay from attorneys.
He knew that other senator's and mem
bers' clerks called up cases, signing
their employers name, and believed
they received pay for information fur.
nished.
Hersey said he sold information he
got as Cooper's secretary, and also used
slips OF Brookshire, and Che thought) of
Perkins of Iowa. Senator Plumb's Sec
retary, D. P. Flenniken, was one who,
witness believed, called attorneys cases
for compensation.
After considerable pressure, witness
said Mattox, who worked for Repre-
sentatives Cochran, English and Harter,
and Mcclellan, who worked for Fithian
and Martin of Indiana, sold information
to pension attorneys.
Witness denied hearing Cooper say to
Morgan: eff you have anything worth
paying for, Hersey will attend to it for
you."
Cooper showed witness a letter from
Morgan containing $25, and said he
(Cooper) did not understand it.
Witness told Cooper he presumed the
money was to pay for an expert examin-
alton he made for Morgan.
Cooper replied that pay could not be
taken for any such work, and said he
would return it.
Witness testified that he was dis
charged from the pension Office by
Raum two years ago, but did not know
the reason. He said if any moral
obliquity or turpitude were involved in
his acts, no members of congress were
responsible.
Lena Weaver, confidential clerk to
Raum, testified that Raum, jr., and not
the commissioner brought Sproesser
here to watch Flemming. This is in
contradiction to the commissioner q
statement that he brought Sproesser
here.

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS,
Debate on the Cotton Baggfng Bill Con.
Cluded.


Debate on the Cotton Begging Bill Con-
cluded.
WASHINGTON, April Sin the house
today resolution was adopted directing
the committee on public lands to exam
inc into the resembling of the leases of
the Yellowstone Park association, and
the granting of the same later to s. T.
Huntley.
The house then went into committee
of the whole on the cotton bagging bill.
English of New Jersey, author of the
bill, in dissertation upon the tariff, ap-
proved the bill.
Hemphill favored the bill.
Simpson of Kansas announced him
self as an absolute free-trader. He was
not willing to compromise with wrong;
he wished to see, from a selfish stand
point, the southern farmer released
from every tax; the less the southern
farmer was robbed, the more he would
have left to buy Kansas corn. So he
favored the bill. 1t took step toward
putting everything else on the
free list. If protection was nee.
essary to protect the laborer,
had not somebody deprived the labor
er Of his natural rights? Labor, the
king-labor, the sovereign, was pushed
from the throne and capital, bastard
monarch, reigned instead, on account of
the protective system. The house
passed few days ago bill which was
disgrace to any civilized nation, to pro-
tect the country against the labor of
the highest protective nation in the
world. The house did this in the inter-
est of California, and in defense OF the
people of California, he bad been COM
PEELED to vote for the bill.
The general debate being concluded,
Turner of Georgia, in charge of the bill.
moved to strike out the clause making
free hoop or band iron, or hoop or band
steel. Agreed to.
The committee then rose, the bill was
reported to the house, and recess until
O'Clock was taken.
WASHINGTON. April S.-The evening
session, lasting from 8 to 80, con-
sisted OF the usual Friday night farce.
A little travesty was enacted by But
Ter OF Iowa. when he stated that the
members who had made long speeches
during the evening were not in favor of
pension legislation.
Smith of Illinois, who spoke for nearly
an hour, said if the gentleman referred
to him, the statement was untrue.
Butler replied that he did not refer to
him.
Smith referred to his record as SUBJ
stantiating his position, and Butler re-.
piled that his record was record of
wind, instead of voting.
Picker of South Dakota appealed to
the house to cease this boys play; it
was not worthy of the representatives
OF the American people; the gentleman
from Texas (Kilgore) wasted more OF
the peoples money in obstructing the
business of the house, than would pay
every pension bill on the calendar.
Nothing being accomplished the lights
were extinguished. .s

people taking chances of getting wet in
order to witness the sport of the only re-
maining day of the meeting on which no
stake was to be rnn of. The betting was
not so brisk as usual, caused by the fact that
in the third and fourth races each developed
a heavy odds-on favOrite the Reaper espe-

"airti%ht," and to was the best prices OBJ

the Reaper and Springaway had things their

Bret Harte dumped the knowing people in
the first race as he was a rank outsider and
never considered to have a chance. The
fast track was extremely dusty until after

sank behind Mt. Harrison's wooded crest its
diving rays dazzled the players and made it
impossible for n man at bat to see the ball.
Then Umpire Sheridan called the game.
O'NeiN missed an opportunity to win

Cincinnati's golden opportunity was lost.
There was excitement in almost every in

O'Neill and Stovey each made sensational
catches, and Burke's capture of Quinn's fly
on which Lowe was doubled at second was
n beauty. Clarkson and Chamberlain did
their share toward batting out the game,
and led of respectively in the eleventh and
thirteenth innings with two-baggers, but

Long broke the fielding record at short,
