He Goes to Work at 9 O’clock—His Policy—Congratulatory Messages, Etc. Today Gen. Raum began his career as com- missioner of pensions, He arrived at the of- fice promptly at 9 o'clock and was ready for business when the 1,500 employes of the pen- sion office began their daily toil. Before set- tling down to his desk Gen, Raum made a brief inspection of the pension building so that he could find his wayin and out without running the risk of getting lost. He intends, so he told a Sram reporter, to gradually make himself familiar not alone with the in- terior design of the pension building but the work of the various divisions of the office, TO INSPECT ALL THE DIVISIONS. Today he stopped a short time in the mailing division and saw how the work was being done. He proposes to visit each division and in this way make himself familiar with the details of the great machine calledthe pension bureau. On Saturday he met with a number of the of- ficials of the bureau and today he was intro- duced to the rest. There was, however, no general introduction and instead of a reception in his rooms to all the employes, Gen. um expects to meet most of them in their respect- ive divisions, CONGRATULATIONS PERSONAL AND EPISTOLARY. His time today was interrupted a good deal by visitors who came to congratulate him. but he attended to such business as was called to his attention. He expresses gratification that his appointment has been received with so much approval. He has received a large num- ber of 54 a from all parts of the country from members of Congress,prominent citizens, Grand Army men and others, expressing their satisfaction with his selection to fill the im- | Selon place of commissioner of pensions. He ‘opes to be able to deserve all the compli- mentary things that have been said about him, and in 8 measure to meet the expectations of his friends, HARVARD’S CLASS ORATOR. A Colored Man From Washington Elected to the Office. A YOUNG MAN WHO GRADUATED FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL HERE AND SUPPORTS HIMSELF BY WORK- ING AS A BARBER—HIS LIFE 48 A STUDENT AND DISTINCTIONS HE Has WON, The senior class of Harvard college has at- tracted considerable notice by electing a col- ored man as a class orator. The tact hasa Peculiar interest here, as Clement Garrett Mor- gan, the young msn so highly honored despite race prejudice, isa Washingtonian and a gradu- ate of the public schools of this city. The election occurred on Thursday, The class oratorship is the highest honor in the gift of a graduating class, Naturally the election of Mr. Morgan was not unanimous and some feeling has cropped out asaresult of his success, but Morgan’s ma- jority was surprisingly substantial. HOW HE WAS ELECTED. Morgan had not been talked of for the honor until the last few days, when a number of men determined that the election of a colored man would be a handsome way of showing Har- vard's friendship for the race, ‘ially in view of the notable filled by such Harvard men as Sumner, Phillips and others in the abolition movement. These young men put their heads together and organized a movement to place the colored classmate in the honored office, and the vote they rolled up was the big surprise of the meeting. Mr. Morgan has won several prizes for his finished oratory, While a student at the Latin school in Boston he won the Franklin prize for oratory and last year he easily carried off the Boylston prize at Harvard. A SKETCH OF HIS CAREER. Mr. Morgan is about thirty years of age. His mother resides in Georgetown, his father hav- ing died a short time ago. His parents moved here from Petersburg, Va., where they had been slaves up to the emancipation. The new orator attended the public schools here, graduating from the high school in 1876, He then moved to St. Louis, where he taught school for four or five years. In 1882 he removed to Boston and entered the Boston Latin school, from which he graduated = a when he entered Harvard in the class of ’90, Mr. Morgan, durin, Telegrams to The Star. GEN.

It is thought that the governor will be able to resume speech-making next week, THE COLORED BROTHER. Shall He Be Recognized in the Episco- pal Convention? New York, Oct. 21.—In the general conven- tion of the Protestant Episcopal church today Rey, Dr. Marckel moved that the order of the day be suspended and that the report on the memorial presented by the colored clergy be taken up. Rev. Dr. Phillips Brooks urged the impor- tance of the question and spoke in favor of its immediate consideration. v. Paulus Moort, colored delegate from the missionary diocese of Cape Palmas, also spoke in favor of the motion. A delegate from Kentucky argued that the nestion had already been practically settled by the convention allowing a colored delegate to speak on its floor, ‘The motion to suspend the — of the day was lost by a vote of 100 to 21, The report in favo¥ of ceding a portion of the diocese of Nebraska and making it a mission- ary diocese was approved. ee TWO CONFESSIONS. John F. Beggs Supposed to be One and the Other is Unknown. Onrcaco, Oct. 21.—The Globe this morning says: The attorneys for the state in the Cronin case are now in possession of two confessions which probably clear up the entire plet to murder Dr. Cronin. One is froma man who belonged to the inner circle of camp 20—Jobn F. Beggs—and was senior guardian of the camp and consequently the head center of the infernal secret executive that ordered Dr. Cronin’s murder. The other isa man, at pres- eut unknown, who was connected with Cough- lin, Sullivan, Burke and others in executi the order, The latter was not indicted wit the five men now on trial, and therefore could not be eee on trial with them. If his in- formation proves correct he will save his neck. The former knows nothing of the murder be- yond the order of the inner circle of the camp, and for his information, if it proves reliable, the state’s attorney will ask a nollie pros. on his behalf just before the case is given to the jury. dard, president society ninth army C.

RAUM’s POLICY in the administration of the office is to move with caution, having first carefully examined the ground. dike an old soldier he knows the ay of rashness and he proposes to avoid this fault in the administration of his office. He has taken hold of the business of the office exactly as he found it, and when he sees where an improvement can be made he proposes to make it, his career at Harvard, has supported himself by working in different barber shops in Boston during the winter and at the seaside resorts during the summer. With aclassmate he went to many of the big hotels, giving readings and recitations, WHAT MIS FRIEND 8AY8. Harvard has had one other colored orator,who is also a Washingtonian. R. H. Terrell of the fourth auditor’s office graduated from Harvard in the class of ’84, and at that time he was one of the commencement orators. Mr. Terrell’s sopra however, came to him by reason of is high standing, and Mr. Morgan is the first colored man to be elected an orator. i Mr, Terrell knew Mr. Morgan well during his stay in Boston, and ins talk with a Star re- porter today said Morgan is a man of Y pees a thirty. He is tall and well formed, and is ver: dark in complexion. He has a strong, intel- lectual face, his eyes being especially bright and piercing. He is a man of courtly manners and modest even to a fault, Every moment of his time which he can spare from the labors necessary to obtain the money for his education is ibs up to study, He is an earnest worker and his attainments are very great. Morgan's style of oratory is of the highest class. His impressive eppegrance, deep, mag- nificent voice, and sa yet effective delivery, render him one of the finest orators Harvard has ever seen. Mr. Terrell said that during his course at Harvard there was not the slightest race dis- tinction. He was treated by every one as exactly on a par with the white students. Rivets aca A FIGHTING COMMODORE. The New Chief of the Bureau of Navi- gation of the Navy Department. The designation of Commodore F. M. Ram- say tobe chief of the bureau of navigation, Navy department, which was announced in Saturday’s Star, gives unusual satisfaction both in and out of the navy. Everywhere is heard the comment that the selection made by Secretary Tracy showed rare judgment, and predictions are freely made that Ramsay will have no difficulty in maintaining the high standard of efficiency left by his predecessor, Admiral Walker. He is known throughout the nayyasa strict disciplinarian, and when su- perintendent of the naval academy he was = terror to wayward cadets. His qualities as an executive officer, which are generally recognized as of the first order, will hawe a severe test in his new post. No one has yet been selected to fill the place left vacant at the head of the New York navy yard. Rear Admirals Braine and Kimberley are strongly mentioned iu this connection. A SKETCH OF HIS CAREER. Commodore Ramsay was born in the District of Columbia April 5, 1835, 80 he will reach the Tetiring age April 5, 1897. He was appointed midshipman in the navy from Pennsylvania October 5, 1850; was promoted to p: mid- shipman in June, 1856; to master and then lieutenant January 23, 1858, and to lieutenant commander July 16, 1862, when he took eom- mand of the ironclad Choctaw in the Missis- sippi squadron. On this vessel he was in the engagements at Haines’ bluff, Yazoo river, on April 30 and May 1, 1868; the expedition up the Yazoo river and destruction of the rebel navy ard and vessels at Yazoo City; engagements at iverpool Landing, Milliken’s Bend and the siege of Vicksburg in May, June and Juiy, I He commanded a battery of three heavy guns mounted on a scow in front of Vicksburg from June 19 to July 4. While in command of the third division of the Mississippi squadron,from July,1863, to Septem- ber, 1864, he was in several engagements with field batteries and guerillas up the Black and Ourchita rivers. In 1864-65 he commanded the gunboat Unadilla, in the North Atlantic squad- ron, and was in the engagements with Fort Fisher in December, 1864, and January, 1865; Fort Anderson and other forts on the Cape Fear river in January and February, 1864, and took part in the oop of Richmond.
