Mr. Enloe Attacks and MI. Deliver Defends
Gen, RaUm.

Representative Enloe, of Tennessee, who had
charge of the prosecution of the Investigation
of the Pension Bureau, took occasion when the
bill appropriating s., 500, 600 was up in the
Honse on the last day of the session, to make
an attack on Commissioner Of Pensions Raum:
" / have" said he been voting against this
Worlds Fair appropriation and expect to con-
time to do so, but aS it seems probable that it
viii pass, ] want TO see if we cannot direct tha
use of par. of the funds to be applied to the ex-
hibitioH of one of the most remarkable pro-
auctions that this country has produced in the
last 400 years. / would like TO put on exhibit
ton at the Worlds Fair at Chicago the present
Commissioner of Pensions Laughter.l He
is the only man that in the past 400 years could
administer bureau of the Government as he
has administered the Pension Bureau and yet
escape the penalty which should justly be
visited upon his deeds. When he was Com
missioner of Internal Revenue I understand
he succeeded in suppressing an investigation.
During the last Congress he was investigated
by Committee of this House, but by some
means or other he succeeded in escaping the
consequences of the Developments made in that
investigation"
Representative Deliver was not slow to re-
ply. 81 am sorry" said he, that speech
like that to which we have just listened should
have been injected into this debate; q speech
directed against high officer of the Govern
ment whose record as soldier and citizen
may be compared with that of any citizen of
the United States; who for many years oecu-
pied the position of Commissioner OF Internal
Revenue, and as such was the personal Gus
todian of the largest fund of money that ever
was committed to the fidelity of one man in
the history of the worlds business, and who
laid down that great trust with an account that
challenged comparison with the most exacIing
standard of accuracy and integrity.
"The gentleman from Tennessee Mr.. Enlosl
in his unconscious stupidity has presented an
argument for Gen. Raum of more force and
effect than conld possibly be framed by any Of
his friends here. He has shown that the charges
which have been industriously trumped up by
him for the past three months have p,ade so
little impression upon the sense and consciencs
of his own associates and colleagues on this floor
that they have not been deemed worthy by the
Democratic party of hearing, much less .
decision in this tribunal. Applause on the
Republican side. And / could not more per-
fectly present the answer of the Republican and
Democratic friends of the Commissioner of PEN
sons than to say that we are defending a msa
whose character is so high that the gentleman
from Tennessee, with his syndicate of dis
charged pension employees following at his heels
could not make a case against him of sufficient
Importance to enlist the attention of his own
colleagues on the floor Of this House." APP
plause ON the Republican side.

AROHT PEOPLE.

Senator Colquitt. of Georgia, is rapidly i'm
proving from his prostration by the intense
heat OF last week and temporary paralysis, and
his family expect TO remove him 70 his Georgia
home in short time. He is still confined to
his bed, and is unable to use his right arm, but
the paralysis of his legs has entirely dis
appeared. His physician regards his improve
ment rs radical and steady.

Mr.. MoRToN,s CLOSING SPEECH.

At precisely Ii o'clock Vice-Presideut Nor
ton adjourned the Senate without day. The
usual resolution of thanks for the impartial
manner in which the Vice President had pre-
sided over the deliberations of the Senate had
been passed, and Senator Allison, of Iowa, had
reported that President Harrison had no fur
ther communication to make to either House.
Then the Vice-President made his farewell
speech, which Is as follows:
Before making the announcement that will
terminate the present session the Chair desires to
pay personal tribute of respect and affection to
the memory of two distinguished members of this
body who were present at the first roll-call. bat
have since passed from the busy walks Of earth to
the realities of eternal life They Will longer
occupy their accustomed places this floor, but
will long be remembered not only in the Senate,
but in other fields of human activity conspicuous
leaders. ilustrious citizens, and as able. honor
able and patriotic public servants 1t Is my agree
able duty TO express my most grateful apprecia-
ton of the honor conferred upon me by the reso-
luton unanimously adopted by the Senate during
my absence from the chair. II nm entitled to the
highly commendatory words of the resolution it 10
owing to the uniform courtesy and kindness
accorded to me by every Senator on this floor.
With the earnest hope that upon the Resembling
Of Congress every member Of this body may be
found in his seat in renewed health and strength,
now declare the Senate stands adjourned without
day.

RussELr. HARRISON pEFENpEp,

The minority of the House Committee on
Public Lands submitted their report on the
Yellowstone National Park Investigation. on
Thursday, Aug. 4. They take the ground that
Secretary Noble acted with business and fair
ness in annulling the transportation leases,
and that Mr.. Gibson, President of the Com
pany, acted in false and deceitful manner in
his relations to the Secretary OF the interior.
Referring to Russell Harrison's connection
with the company, the minority repor. accuses
the majority of going ont of its way in what
1t charaeterizes as attempt to smirch the
son Of the President by the use Of some Incl
dentals in the evidence. The facts are. it says,
that q certain party interested in the Park
Association, assuming that Mr.. Harrison would
have some influence with the unknown Secre-
tary Of the Interior to be appointed, proposed
to induce Mr. Harrison to use such supposed
influence for the benefit of the association. and
remunerate him with so shares of the stock.
But the stock was never issued. the minority
holds, and Mr.. Harrison was never requested,
except by Waters. to so use his influence, and
there WIS no need that he should do so.
The whois thing --!s evidently q fraud. the
minority continues, and one of Gihson's tricks.
and the majority report is unsupported by
single particle Of evidences against Mr.. Harri-
son, and its comments are wholly unealled for.

1t was IL o'clock when the gavel Of Speaker
Crisp came down on his desk with an unusually
loud whack, and be, in voice which was much
stronger than il had been for three hours past
pronounced the House adjourned without day.
No sooner was this announcement made than
some member called for three cheers, which
were given with will. and the Chamber re-
sounded with the shouts of members who were
more than glad TO get away from their legisla-
tive duties. Then the air was filled with old
bills. committee reports and other public docu-
ments, which the elated members threw into
the air. The occupants of the Press Gallery
sung the doxology, which brought smiles from
the members. Evidences Of gladuess ct the
close Of long and wsarisome session were on
every hand, and the hall was soon cleared.

MemDhts RepOrt.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. August go The
regular monthly cotton crop report
for the Memphis district, which en-
braces west Tennessee, north Missis-
sippi, north Arkansas and north Ala
bama, to be issued tomorrow will
say: Under the beneficial influence of
favorable weather the crop prospects
have improved somewhat. The
weather during August has been
favorable for cotton. but taking the
season as a whole 244 out of total OF
372 correspondents reportit less favor
able than last year and the plant
is making progress, and that
while the season Is fully eighteen
days late, the plant is fruiting well
and retaining its squares and bolls.
There is general complaint, how.
ever, in all four states, of shedding.
due to excessive rains in some locali-
ties and drouth in others. There are
ais 0 reports of worms in Mississippi
and rust In all states,
The condition of crops summarized
is only fair and not up 20 the average;
2S4 of the total report them much less
promising than at this date last year
and 202 report damage from various
causes to a greater or less extent.
Picking will not commence earlier
than Sept. Is and will not become
general until the close of the month,
and in many SECTIONS will be delayed
until the middle of October.
The corn crop is in better condition
than cotton, and on account of the
large increase IN acreage the yield
promises to be more than ample for
the home demand.

Piece Scales forMachines.

Since the ultimate final success Of
the typecasting or typesetting ma
chine has been conceded, says the
Inland Printer, the attention of the
various subordinate typographical
unions and of the management of the
offices which have adopted the ma.
chimes has been given to arranging q
satisfactory piece scale. Typesetting
machines are In a state of evolution.
1t is fair to say that every few months
even some new feature Is being added
TO such of them as have been con
sidered at their final perfection.
Newspapers, when putting machines
in their composing rooms, will
doubtless stipulste that whatever
improvements are made in the ma
chiDes from time to time shall ne
added to those IN their offios-with
such notifications as the make of the
machine and the nature of the inn
prOvements may require. Ii the ma
chimes in use, therefore, are improved,
the employees will be makingtoO m uch
money and the scale will be revised, II
possible. If the machines do not i'm
prove, the office cannot afford to keep
them, for other makes OF machines
will uudou btedly improve. Continual
disturbance and friction will result
from piece work. A stated wage per
day or week is the only rational way
to compensate workers on typesetting
machines.

Electrical Production of Ozone.

The use of ozone is likely to be
largely resorted to In the disinfection
and sterilization of water. and Its eco
nomical production is becoming q
matter of importance. From recent
experiments ia the Sfemens and
Halske laboratory st Berlin it appears
that good results have been obtained
In producing ozone on q commercial
scale by means of the silent electric
discharge. An apparatus now at
work in the laboralory yields 2 4 mig.
of ozone per second. Experiments are
being made In supplying compressed
ozone for technical use; and this has
been accomplished with pressure OF
five atmospheres. AS remedial and
curative measure In medical practiC o
ozone is daily growing in favor.
