AMENDMENTS REJECTED TODAY Conference Report on the River and Harbor Bill. —— THE HOUSE CONSIDERS IT TODAY. —____ SENATE, After the transaction of the routine morning business the Senate resumed the consideration of the tariff bill, On motion of Mr. Manderson an amendment was agreed to fixing the duty on white pine shingles at 20 cents per thousand. The committee amendment placing sponges on the free lis@was lost —yeas, 16; nays, 36; and the rate of duty of 20 per cent ad valorem was restored, At the suggestion of Mr. Plumb an amend- ment was udopted fixing at 80 cents per gallon the duty on alizarine. assistant or soluble oil containing more than 50 per ccut of castor oil, THE DoTY ON FISH. In speaking in regard to the proper rate of duty to be placed on fish Mr. Spooner gave it as his view that while the fishermen on the eastern coast were protected it was not Proper that the fisheries on the great lakes should be thrown open to free competition, Af there was anything in the proposition of reciprocity the United States ought not now to throw open its markets to Canadian fishers. Mr, Gibson concurred in this view, It was | well that when the question of reciprocity was treated with the United States shouid have the advantage of position, which was as important in diplomacy as it was in war, WE OWE NOTHING TO CANADA, Mr, Cullom agreed, on the main, with Mr. Spooner. ‘The Canadian government had done nothing that wouid entitle it to any favors or privileges, and, therefore, he did not feel Ii entering into any reciprocity arrangement with it, Stull, he believed that the Senate ought to adopt the House proposition for free fish in the interest of the poor people of the country. MM. REAGAN COMMENTED upon the fact that while protectionist Sena- tors were in favor of admitting fish free, they imposed a duty of 105 per cent on cotton ties. In other words, they were high protectionists when protection was necessary for their inter- ests and free traders when free trade was in their interests, The vote was taken on the committee's amendment to paragraph 545 and it was agreed to (without the yeas and nays). It now reads: Fresh fish, caught by citizens of the United States in the high seas or in the open waters of the lakes forming a boundary between the United States and the dominion of Cana Paragraph 278, relating to tish ou the dutiable list, was then taken up, the question being on the’ finance committee's substitute for the | EXCURSIONS, PICNICS, &o.

The Owners of Property in Square 323 Asked to Set a Price on Their Holdings. The first step in the operation of secuying the site for a new city post office has been taken, Secretary Windom has addressed a letter to each of the owners of the property contained in the square opposite Tue Srar office, men- tioned in the act, asking them to set o price upon their land and improvements. When the replies to these inquiries have been received—they ought to be in by a week from now—the Secretary will determine upon a basis of valuation in order to decide whether or not the prices set by the owners of the lots are fair. He has not yet fixed upon the method he will pursue in order to attain this end, but it is quite certain that he will inform himself very accurately as to the state of the Washington real estate —_ market, either by personal investigation or upon the | advico of a board of valuation, If the jatter method should be necessary, however, there will hardly be any difference in the persounel of such a board and one of condemnation, The Secretary will take the various steps in the business as rapidly as caution will permit, gos Bobo War Department Changes.

COMMISSIONER RAUM D \IES. Says There is No Truth in the Latest | Story About Him—He Will Not Resign. | A special telegram to the New York Commer- | eivi Advertiser from this city yesterday said: | “A report, apparently well founded, is cur- | rent today that reeent developments in the | Pension Office scandal make at very probable that Pension Commissioner Raum’s resignation will soon be in the hands of the President, If | Mr. Kaum does not resign his removal was thought to be inevitable. The cause of this not | altogether unexpected turn of affairs is the discovery that Mr. Raum, in addition to his | universal refrigerator enterprise, has been en- gaged in real estate transactivns that will not | bear inspection. It was with a view to brin, ing these real estate transactions out that Mr. Cooper troduced his resolution asking that | the scope of the congressional investigation of | Mr. Raum’s official relations be extended — THE ELBE’S OVERFLOW.

ROCHEFORT HIT HIM. x4 When a Stan reporter called at the Pension Office this morning Commissioner Raum was in his office working diligently at pension business and disposing of a long line of visitors, appar- ently oblivious of such matters as investigations and charges, He had not seen or heard anything of the latest story about him and his plans until his attention was calied to it by the re- porter, and he was asked if he had auything to say abont it, “Weil, really, I don't know that there is any- ig for me to say,” answered Mr. Raum. “There is not a single word of truth m th whole story. Ihave not resigned nor have I the slightest intention of resiguing. I never yet have run when under fire and I have no i- tention of beginning that sort of thing just now. It would hardly be proper to go into this matter in detail just now any further than to deny it all. I have never committed an official act of which I have the least reason for feeling ashamed, and I desire the fuilest investigation, It will be very easy for me to clear myself of all these charges against | me, and, what is more, I can prove that the charges and the investigation are alike the r sults of malice and bad blood, That is really all I care to say just now.
