Commissioner Raum Proposes to Make Some Changes in fhem. Gen. Raum, the commissioner of pensions, is engaged today in the preparation of an order which is designed to systematize more com- pletely the business of his office. The order will make such a division of the work that comes to the commissioner that the two deputy | commissioners and the chief clerk will be able to relieve the commissioner from a good deal of the business that uow devolves upon him. A | division of the work was made when Col. Dud- ley was commissioner, but it has not been-ud- hbered to, and at present the two deputies have no well-defined dutice, A PRACTICE WHICH WILL BE STUPPED. A number of cases have been brought to the attention of Gen. Raum of claimants who have come a long distance for the purpose of being examined by medical boards in this city. The ommissioner today refused several applicants and stated plainly that be would not encourage the continuance of such practice. In the irst ee Gen. Raum says that the claimant comes ere at great expense, aud in the second place to order him for examination before a Wash- ington board is a reflection upon the ability aud. standing of the local boards that have jurisdic- tion of the case. If the local boards are not competent or are influenced by prejudice or favoritism. Gen, Rauin says they will be re- moved aud competent surgeons pointed in theif piaces, Gen, Raum finds that this practice has LED TO GREAT ABUSES. It has resulted in bringing men to this city who are absolutely penniless. They come to the commissioner and say that they want their pen- sions burried through as rapidly as possible, as they necd the money to keep them from starv- ing. The only method by which these cases can be expedited is to make them special. and Gen. Raum thinks that it is better for these men to stay at home and take their turn with the rest. He has not issued an order to this effect, but it is understood that he has reached the conclusion not to order non-residents of the District before the boards in this city for ex- amination. Hereafter it is said that only resi- dents of the District will be ordered before the local boards, und that if claimants come from outside of the city for examination they will be told to go betore the local boards. GIVING UP HOPE. Mr. Brown’s Fruitless Trip to Rich- mond in Search of His Daughter. The mystery eurrounding the disappearance of Belle Brown is no nearer a solution than it has been, Saturday Mr. Brown went to Rich- mond in answer to a telegram from the chief of police of that city and saw the girl who was supposed to be his daughter. The girl in question, the officers state, is the one who called at Mrs. Dyson’s house in Norfolk the day after Belle left her home. The officers are also of the opinion that she is the girl who went to Norfolk on the Lady of the Luke on the 10th instant. When Mr. Brown arrived in Richmond and was told that the girl wasin a questionable locality he concluded that she was not Belle and was going to retarn without seeing her, as he was sure that if Belle was found she would be in good company. He went and looked at the girl, only to find that she was not his daughter, ‘Today Mr. Brown did not even have a theory, and when seen by & Srar reporter he said that he was like a ship at sea without a rudder, daaadlscioahehoness Presidential Appointments.

The blood was flowing from a wound on the head and had a bruised eye. As the officer was hitchin, his horse Cluffey threatened if he siterapted to arrest bim ho would kil! him, and he cut at the policeman when he approached, Mr. Mark- wood knows Claffey well and went to the porch to expostulate with him, putting bis arm on the porch. Claffey struck at him savagely with the tobe but missed him, Finally he laid the hatchet down, when the officer thréw it out of his reach, and as he persisted in his threats to kill the ofiicer and tien finish his wife he was placed under arrest, Twice on the road to the station he resisted and the offices was obliged to use his club. ‘Lbis aiternoon in the Police Court Claffey was tried for the assault on the officer, and was fiued $30 or ninety days in jail.

THE DAY BEFORE THE FIGHT Last Survey of the Political Pros- pect. OHIO LIKELY TO GO REPUBLICAN. Virginia to Witness the Hottest Battle Since the War. THE BASEBALL MEETING IN NEW YORK FIGURING IN OHIO. Uncertain Quantities in the Calculation —The Betting onthe Result. Special Dispatch to Tux Evestyo Stan. Coiumbvs. Onto, Nov. 4 The political campaign in Ohio, so far as the speakers are concerned, is closed, The cam- paign managers on both sides have done tncir best and whatever the result may be the de- feated party cannot hold their state committee responsible, There is @ nervous feeling ex- isting on both sides, as the uncertain quantities in the contest, which have much to do with the result, cannot be estimated. THE ELEMENT OF DOUBT. The republicans have no means of knowing whether Governor Foraker will suffer by the scratching process beyond the line of noisy, disaffected republicans, or whether there is a silent force in every county that will show its opposition to the third term by means of the vest pocket vote. If the entire opposition to the governor has been developed re would be but little difficulty in pre: — to acer- , tainty the plurality that might be looked for, but under the circumstances a very close estimate cannot be made. THE DEMOCRATIC CLAIMS. While the democratic commitiee claim the election of Mr. Campbell it 18 quite apparent that there is very little certainty about any of their calculations outside of Hamilton and Franklin counties. They claim a full party vote for the democratic ticket and the state on general principles, So far as can be judged from information at hand it seems quite proba- ble that outvide of fiamilton sad Frauklin ; counties Mr. Campbell wiil be scratched with |quite as much vigor as will Gov. Foraker. With anything like a full vote the most con- servative republicans figure out a pluratity of | ut least 10, tor Foraker. Some conservative | democrats ure now inclined to concede the | victory to Foraker by a smail piurality of trom 2,000 to 5,000 and a repubiican legislature on joint ballot, WHAT REPUBLICANS ASSERT. The republican committee claim the election of their state and legislative ticket by bund- some pluralities, and say that their organiza- tion is so perfect that it cannot be stampeded whatever may be the tenor of roorbacks likely to be sprung hereafter. As to organization it is generally conceded that the republicans have a great udvantage, andasa rule their estimates have proved far more reliable than those given out by the democratic committee. Ohio is a repubiican state, and with anything like a full vote the republicans have the ad- vantage. That they will get out a fairly full vote is probabie, as they have the machinery and the means to do the work, THE BETTING. Foraker is a strong favorite among the sport- ing fraternity and premiums are offered. Prop- otitions were posted today offering $500 to $400 on the governor. Some bets have been made $50 to $25 on the governor, and others that he would have 10,000 plurality. F.W.S. —_<<._—_ THE BASE BALL MEETING. A Momentous Contest Begun Amid Great Excitement. New Yon, Nov. 4.—There was a big gather- ing of bass ball players at the Fifth avenue hotel this morning. The first official step in the great fight between the brotherhood of base ball players and the national league was about to be taken, and as consequence all professional ball players were on hand to learn the first particulars, The men who met at noon to discuss the situation composed the grand council of the brotherhood. They were eight in number, James O’Rourke of the New Yorks, Ed Hanlon of the Pittsburgs, Law- rence Twitchell of the Clevelands, George E. Andrews of the Indianapolis, A. A. Irwin of the Washingtons, Daniel Brouthers of the Bos- tons, Fred Pfeffer of the icagos and James F of the Philadelphias, is the annual meeting of the council, and ee the delegates are not inclined to speak ft what will be done, it is end well known that the advisability of establishing a brother- hood league to fight the national one will be the all-absorbing question discussed. Besides the delegates the convention there were gathered in the corridors of the hotel this morning Manager McGunnigle of the Brooklyns, Manager Burnham of the Worcesters, John Whitney of Buffalo, John Morrill uf Boston, Gen. Arthur Dixwell, Jack Rowe, Al Johnson of Cleveland, John Ward, the president of the brotherhood: Director Billings of the Boston club, James Gore and a number,of others equally well known to tho lovers of the national game. At the close of the present base ball season, when the rumor that the brotherhood would | fight the league was first started. the capitalists and managers of the last named organization laughed at the idea and contemptuously termed it a big bluff. It was even boasted that the players would not dare to oppose the league. Gradually it dawned upon the league f the magnates that the members brotherhood meant business and it was then that lawyers were con- sulted as to their position in the trouble. A legal opinion was rendered that assured the league managers that legal proceedings could be instituted against players who violated thei: contracts. This opinion does not seem to weigh heavily upon the minds of the dele- gates this morning, aud it is likely that what- ever action will be taken it will be done with- out the opinion entering into the question. Among the late arrivals were Wood of the Philadelphia, Mike Kelly, Tim Keefe, secretary of the brotherhood council; George Wright, | Will Collins of the Athletics, Buck Ewing. Owen Clarke, John Kelly, Roger Conner and Manager Powers of the Rochesters, Shortly after 1 o'clock the delegates retired to their room and the meeting was called to order. It is likely that a session of three or four hours will be required for the transaction of business. ———__ How it Looks at Alexandria.

He would keep things moving from the time the campaign opened until the election was over. He was a singularly great hu-tier on election day. Wise is taking no active part in this cam- paign, but he promises to come to Richmond and vote against Mahone. There is vo lack of democratic manazers and whoopers up. Mayor Ellyson, Chairman Guy.

Loxpos. Nov. 4.—ihe effort which is being made by the Washington government to estab- lish more intimate commercial relations b tween the United States and the states of South America has awakened on this side of the Atlantic a new interest in the latter countries, This interest is born partly of a half-detined fear that the efforts of the United Siates will be successful and the trade which Europe has built up be diverted to North America. Most of the English newspapers ridicule the possi- bility of a combination between North and South America, Tbe total yearly forvign trade of South America is estimated at 700,000,000, barely one-fifth of which is done with the United States. It is argued that this condition of affairs is maintained not so much on account of the tariff and navigation laws of the United States as from the absence of United siates capital in South America. ‘ihe enormous amount of — capital is pointed to and also the fact that Europe has furnisbed in the last thirty years nearly two million settlers in various parts of the country. Despite that most of these 2 come from other countries than the British Isles, English capital, English trade and English shipping are mupreme in South America, and it is shown that financially and commercially England has an immense stake there. Thus while it is insisted upon that the United States has no possible chance of form- ing an exclusive customs union with South America the English are somewhat jealous and extremely watchful of the outcome of the Pan- American congress. Every movement of the congress has thus far been reported here. WILKIE COLLINS, ‘The proposed memorial to Wilkie Collins in Westminster is not meeting with general success, Neither the public nor the papers seem to take much interest in the project. It is probable that the plan will be abandoned. TAPS.
