RAUM'S ESTIMATES.
Amount Needed for Pensions ,
Stiff Figure.

Amount Needed for Pensions a
Stiff Figure.
WASHINGTON, March 3.-The sub
committee of the house committee
on pensions, of which Mr.. Mutch-
lor. of Pennsylvania, is chairman, today
examined Gen. RaulD, the commissioner
OF pensions, with reference to the estl-
mates for pension appropriations for
the next fiscal year. The commissioner
said that last year $1,S80.0O0 had been
spent for medical examinations, and this
year S1,500,O00 would be spent, which
would bring that work up to date. The
work of medical examination had been
pushed forward with a great deal OF
energy, and the appropriation on that
account could be reduced for the next
fiscal year. The actual amount OF money
expended Oh account OF pensions dur
ing the first six months Of the year was
S63, 065, 673. There was now in the books
$2S. 1874 .995 against which no acquisitions
had been made, and about S15,000,000
was III the hands of agents, so that
S43, 900. 600 was on hand for the balance
of the fiscal year.
MIR. O'Neill. of Massachusetts, Sug-
gested that this amount would not be
spent during the remaining months OF
the fiscal year. Gen. Raum replied that
it must be remembered that the work
was being pushed close up to date, and
that as the first payments on new claims
averaged S135. considerable money
would be necessary for this purpose.
Mr.. Mutchler called attention to the
fact that S125,0OO,O0O was asked for the
next fiscal year; that last year 1921, 000,
600 was spent, and that on March the
expenditures were 100000 under the
expenditures for the corresponding
month of last year. so that there ought
to be money left over this year.

Rules for Fifty Thousand

The Pension Bureau Investi-
cation Develops Some
Peculiar Facts.
Diseredited Dudley's Rerat-
ing Does Not Appear on
the Record.

WASHINGTON, March 8. Assistant
Secretary Bussey today made an i'm
portant decision in the pension case of
Rudolph NJ. Manley. of Company l,
Forty-seventh Pennsylvania volunteer
militia. On June Is, 1868, President
Lincoln issued his proclamation calling
upon the executive of the state of Penn
sylvania for $4,000 volunteers to serve
for the period of six months unless
sooner discharged. In compliance with
this order the Forty-seventh regiment
was raised and mustered into the state
service for ninety days instead of for
six months. as designated in the call.
The records of the war department
show that Manley was mustered in on
the 9th of June, 1868, and was mus
tered out with his company on Aug. IL,
1868. During this service the evidence
on file shows that the soldier suffered
sunstroke, from which he has never re-
covered. On his application he was
granted pension of 1924 month. But
on June IL, 1891, his name was dropped
from the pension roll upon the ground
that it had been ascertained that the
regiment to which he belonged was not
in the United States service, but in the
service of the state of Pennsylvania.
This is the position taken by the judge
advocate of the army by decision
rendered in September, 1890. The as
sistant secretary, however, after an
elaborate review of the law and
the evidence in the case, concludes that
it comes within the first subdivision of
section 1868 of the revised statutes,
which includes among those entitled to
the benefits of pension ''any officer OF
the army, including regulars, volun-
teers and militia, or any officer in the
army or marine corps, or any enlisted
man however employed in the military
or naval service of the United States or
in its marine corps, whether regularly
mustered or not, disabled by reason of
any wound or injury or disease con-
tracted while in the service of the
United States in the line of duty" The
assistant secretary directs that Man.
ley's name be restored to the pension
roll. This decision restores to a pen
sionable status the $4,000 soldiers who
served in the Pennsylvania militia

DULUTH, Mimi, March 3.-Excur-
slons to the great iron fields on the
Mesaba range are now of almost daily
occurrence. Iron men, capitalists and
Spectators from all quarters of the
States are thronging to this city. and all
previous booms in real estate turn green
with envy at the proportions to which
this craze in iron has fastened OIL every
body. The infatuatiOn carries with it
abundance of common sense, for every
new development but magnifies the in
eXhaustible richness of the ore deposits.
The special excursion today took up a
large party of Cincinnati capitalists,
who critically inspected every shaft
on the Cincinnati, Mckinley, Kanawha.
Hale and Charleston properties. These
pits in some instances went through
from fifty TO sixty feet of solid ore and
covered an area over six miles long by
nearly half mile wide. In every case
each pit was bOttomed i'll ore and no one
yet knows how much deeper the shafts
can be sunk to find the bottom of the
ore deposit. Tomorrow another special

organized Mesaba Range 81 Duluth

WHITNEY'S MISSION.
Momentous Movements Rumored
to BE in the Air.


WASHINGTON, March 3.-William G.
Whitney put in an appearance at the
capitol early yesterday afternoon. He
did not make himself unduly conspicu-
GUS, but before he had been on the
ground ten minutes he was in consulta-
ton with Senator Carlisle. A few min
utes later Senator Hill was called into
the conference. A note was then sent
over to the house, and in another fifteen
minutes the three politicians were
vending their way, at the invitation of
Speaker Crisp, to the speakers room.
Messrs. Whitney, Hill. Carlisle and
Crisp remained in the speakers room
for an hour in executive session, and at
the close of the conference the e6-sec-
rotary departed from the capitol as I'M
obtrusively as he came.
Democratic leaders were left to con-
lecture the significance of the confer
ence. ut MEANS" said one who is very
near the throne, THAT we are going to
have harmony with stuffed club. The
party leaders in New York are becOm-
Inc alarmed at the outlook and the ex-
secretary is believed to have come
in to patch up truce if possible"
Mr.. Whitney is understood to have
been the bearer OF message from
Mr.. Cleveland with reference to the ex-
presidents intentions, and there was an
apparently inspired report at the capt.
toll yesterday afternoon that in short
time Mr.. leveland will publicly an
nounce his withdrawal from the race,
at the same time issuing manifesto
defining his attitude OH the silver and
tariff questions, and calling upon the
party to present a solid front for tariff
reform, whoever the candidate may be.
Mr.. Cleveland is also expected to re-
pudiate the May convention.
