A DAY With THE SOLONS.
Mr.. Noble Tells Representatives
About the Pension Bureau.
SENATOR FRYE'S STATEMENT CON.
CERNING SHIPPING.

Choctaws Getting Up Legal Controversy
with the Great Enthusiastically Noble
Explained the Case of Young Raum
and Complimented the General Man
agement of the Pension Bureau-Tariff
Legislation-EI Election Contests.
WASHINGTON, February 26.-Secretary
Noble was examined today by the spe-
cial House committee appointed to inves-
tigate the management of the Pension
Office. Referring to the case of young
Raum, son of the commissioner, Mr.. Lit
tie of New York asked if it was custom
airy to give men whose resignation was
demanded, thirty days leave. The Sec
retary said there was no rule on the sub
ject. He expected there would be some
criticism of his action, but the man being
young he would rather let him go out
under such circumstances than shirk re-
sponsibility and criticism. Mr.. Noble
was asked if opportunity had been given
Young Raum to defend himself from the
charges made.
The Secretary replied: ''No, because
thought a charge of such a character af-
fected the service SO deeply when brought
to me by an officer of the government
bureau which investigated the matter,
who made statements SO apparently
truthful, that I determined to rid myself
of him at once. 1 thought the good of
the service demanded he should go.''
Mr.. Enloe then asked the Secretary
about the filing of charges against young
Raum by Messrs. Howard and Engle,
clerks in the Pension Office, charging
Raum with demanding money from
them. The Secretary said he told Mr..
Bussey to call the commissioner atten-
ton to the matter and request himSt to see
to it. The commissioner said the charges
were circulated to injure him, and filed
counter charges with a demand for the
removal of these men. Special Examiner
Taylor was suspected by the com
missioner of being connected with
the matter. The Secretary added that
each other. Young Baum was out of the
service and he refused to remove Howard
and Engle. Mr.. Taylor he had asked TO re
sign because he Mr.. Noble had previous;
ly come to the conclusion that it would
advance the governments interests. The
commissioner and MI. Taylor were moi
getting along together and there was a
conflict of authority between them. He
thought the commissioners should be sus-
tanned rather than Mr.. Taylor. Mr.. No
BILE said all the removals were for cause.
The Secretary was then asked about
re-rating. He said the responsibility orig
inally rested on Commissioner Black.
When he found that Commissioner
Tanner was proceeding to carry into eff
feet his predecessors ruling to a degree
highly injurious to the government, he
promptly stopped it. Mr.. Noble thought
it intolerable that employees should un-
dertake to re-rate themselves, and made
them feel the weight of his authority.
Those re-ratings were not for large
amounts each month, but went back a
long time and the aggregate was consid-
cradle. Mr.. Noble said he thought
Commissioner Raum was running the
pension Office with great efficiency.

RELATING TO SHIPPING.
Senator Frye Says the Law Will Not Be
Altered without Proper Care.

WASHINGTON, February 26.-Mr.
Frye introduced bill to amend the law
relating to shipping commissioners, sea-
men, owners of vessels, and other par
ties, and said it had been sent to him by
the secretary of the Sailors Union of the
Pacific.
The bill makes it obligatory on the
part of an officer in command of vessel,
if he believes the vessel unseaworthy, to
put into the nearest port and have the
craft surveyed by some U. S. officer. 1t
also provides the manner of paying wages
to seamen, and directs that warm and
substantial clothing be furnished them,
and directs that passage or work shall be
secured for them when discharged in
foreign ports.
Mr. Frye made statement for the in
formation of the senators and of the pub
lie in relation to the bill now pending in
the committee on commerce, to carry in
to effect certain recommendations of the
United States delegates to the lnterna-
tional marine conference. The bill, he
said, had been introduced by himself on
the Goth of January and had been re-
ferred to the committee on commerce
and board of experts had been request
ed to make report to accompany the
bill. That report had been furnished
and copy of the bill and report had
been sent to every expert, to every large
owner and builder of ships, to every
maritime association known to the COM
mite or it's clerks, with request to ex-
anime the bill with care and to send to
the committee such criticisms as they
had to make. These criticisms had been
coming in for the last four weeks, and
when they seemed to be completed the
committee would refer all of them to the
same board of experts for their reply and
report. The country might rest assured
that the committee on commerce would
report to the Senate no bill changing OF
affecting the existing laws unless that
committee was fully satisfied by evidence
before it that such changes and amend
ments ought to be made.

The Ex-Chancellor May Again Enter
Active Life.
LONDON, February 26.-The Berlin cor
respondent of the Times says: ''The
impression created in Germany by EN-
peror Williams speech at the Branden-
burg banquet is indeseribable. 1t is felt
that the gauntlet has been thrown
down. and that the struggle of sthe
government with the ever-growing OPP
position will be fought to the bitter end.
The education, liquor traffic and other
unpopular bills will be forced through
the legislature at all costs. The en-
peror's words have solidified the Radi-
cal coalition. The ministers are now in
the presence of the united opposition of
the National Liberals, Radicals and
Socialists, and the government will be
delivered, bound hand and foot, into the
hands of the Centrists. Should the up
per house of the Prussian Diet reject the
education bill the psychological moment
for the temperance of Prince Bismarck
will have arrived and the deadlock will be
more complete, because if recourse is
had to dissolution the present narrow
majority of 20, given by the combined
forces of the Conservatives and Cen
trists, will inevitably disappear under
the coalition of the National Liberal and
Radicals, who opposed each other at the
last election and thus threw the seats
into the hands of the Conservatives"

gether in SO short a time. is truly
wonderful.
Although SO late in the season, the
display OF farm produce is very good.

ing displays. but among them is Mr..
y. Lucius, of White Birch, who has
on exhibition twenty-eighs varieties

three varieties of corn, wheat, oats,
barley, fruits and all kinds of root
productions.
In the fruit display we find that Mr..

lles. \. Lucius had a display of Gull
tiyated cranherries, the iirst ever
grown except in the Wild state, in the
county. Mr.. Gates exhibited some fine

favorably with the great Minneapolis
Exposition.
y great feature OF the fair are the
exhibits OF native fresh water spangcs
taken from or bays. They are of
