BASIS OF COOPER'S CHARGES

MadeUp from Newspaper Articles Written by Discharged Pension Clerks. r Two Hore Angry Tilts Between Mr. Raum and His Accuserand Between the Latter and Attorney Flick Mr. Bussey's Testimony. Washington, Sept 11. Right at the be ginning of its session, this morning, the. special House committee investigating the charges against Commissioner Kaum had the usual daily tilt. Mr. Lewis, tho Democratic member, rising to a personal question, said that he had been credibly informed that while he was engaged in conversation with Mr. Smy8er, who was on the stand tho other day, the chairman had said that bis ILcwis'sl conduct was not gentlemanly, and he wanted a retraction. Chairman Morrill said that he had no recollection of having made such a remark, and Mr. Sawyer also denied that it had been made, taking occasion also to denounce tho officious outsiders who were seekiDg to intermeddle and make Ifard feeling in the committee. Commissioner Ranm, beginniug his dV' fense, asked that Mr. Cooper be sworn. In answer to the Commissioner's que-4 tions, Mr. Cooper said that his attention had first been callod to the refrigerator, company by newspaper articles, and afterwards by George B. Fleming. Had talked with half a dozen other persons confidentially, but : did not care to givo their names. Mr. Fleminzhad said that Butler Fitch had told him that seven Pension Office employes had bought refrigerator stork. There was whore the charce orig inated, which seemed to be corroboratedby the newspaper articles. The Commissioner said Fleming was himself the author of tho defamatory articles. Mr. Cooper said that tho Commissioner had given out .an article himself, saying that he had not given his note to Lemon. Mr. Raum replied that he had denied that he had piven a note for $25,000. Mr. Cooper remarked that he had set up a case ahef then answered itN The Commissioner said that he had taken the case which he found in the newspapers. Mr. Cooper answered that ho had been confirmed in his belief in the charge by the Commissioner's refusal to answer his question. But the chariro rested unon FJemiug's and Fitch's testimony. If they aro knocked out, all right. - Mr. Raura replied that he thought they had knocked themeslves out. Mr. Cooper was not sure but if the books , of the refrigerator company were produced the names of Pension Office employes would be found, and that Bradley Tanner had not been promoted for his service to the company. Tho Commissioner again pressed Mr. " Cooper for tho names of his informants, saying: "I want to get at the men who have poisoned your mind." Mr. Cooper thought the remark was gratuitous, aud excused the Commissioner, because ho had some feeling. - Commissioner Raum I should think I had a small amount of feeling when a man is trying to destroy my credit on ; faiso charges. Mr. Cooper You have admitted part of them. . Commissioner Raum No, sir; I have not. Continuing, Mr. Cooper said that Mr. McColman, representing the refrigerator stock, had spoken of the books in a way that led' witness to supposo they showed crookedness. ! -COOPER CALLED A DIRTY DOG. ; The investigation ran along quietly again for a quarter of an hour and ih'on there was another outbreak. Mr. Cooper was still on the stand, and had said that he had never seen the books of the company, when Mr. Flick sharply queried; "You know you are on oath, don't you? You -swore a moment ago' that you could take those books and sustain these charges1 Mr. Cooper I said I believed it. That suggestion of yours was ungentlomanly, cowardly and mean. Mr. Flick And I submit that you are a dirtydog. Chairman Morrill endeavorod to restrain the members, but Mr. Flick added: VHe had no right, nor any other man, to make that remark." . Mr. Lewis joined in to help out Mr. Cooper, saying: "Mr. Flick had no right to ask that question about his being under oath. It carries an implication." .v Mr. Flick denied any such intention. Mr. Lewis You havo no right to ask a lawyer that question. j! Mr. Sawyer Lawyers are more apt. to wander than anybody else. S Order having been restored, Mr. Flick concluded tbe examination. i y. . Butler Fitch was called and positively denied that he had told Fleming any of the things that Mr. Cooper had spoken of. In the course of the examination Commissioner Raum remarked: "The whblo thing is a figment of George B. Fleming, a discharged employe of the Pension Office, who had used Mr. Cooper I don't say corruptly." Tho chairman again intervened. ' Mr. Cooppr remarked that he was used to that, to which Mr. Flick responded: "You will learn to be gentlemanly in your own demeanor." , "I am not afraid of yon," retorted Mr. Cooper, defiantly." i A recess was taken at this point, and the members who had been so personal in their remarks, taking the advice of tho other members, patched up their differences. Mr. Flick admitted that he had misunderstood Mr. Cooper's statement relative to the books. Mr. Cooper withdrew the remarks which had offended Mr. Flick. Mr. Flick, in turn, withdrew his unpleasant characterization of Mr. Cooper, and good feeling was restored. , - ASSISTANT SECRETARY BUSSEY'S TESTIMONY. After recess Assistant Secretary Bussey was called as a witness and testified rela-' tive to the completed files order, saying in effect that he had approved the order, believing that it w as the best means of disposing of tho pension cages that were complete or could easily be completed, and which had cumbered the files for years. He had been much pleased with the great improvement of tho Pension Oliice under Commissioner Rauui'S administration. He did not see that the order made any great difference as between claimants with attornej's and those without, or that it worked unduly in the interest of Washington attorneys. The claimants without attorneys about 5 per cent, of all claimants were men of high -intelligence who felt competent to manage their own cases and not farmers or laborers. Mr. Cooper asked if the witness had investigated the chargescounectingthe Commissioner and Mr. Lemon. The witness replied. "Do you suppose I am going to take up everything 1 see in tho: newspapers and act upon it? I don't deal in newspaper slander." Continuing, he baid Commissioner Raum had told him the circumstances fully, and the explanation was perfectly satisfactory. He had nothing to do with the Commissioner's private business so long aa he conducted the publio business properly and houestlr. Mr. Cooper When ho got Mr. Lemon to ; go on uis note was not xnat a public disgrace? Witness I have nothing to do with that. Mr. Cooper You refuse to answer? Witness Under the circumstances I see nothing wrong about it. He added that he was satisfied that the Commissioner had not the slightest intention to favor Mr. Lemon or any body else. Adjourned.

Queer Notion of Humane Farmer.' Milwaukee. Sept. 11. Dr. F. J. Wilke, who is at the head of the humane society's work at Oshkosh, is in the city to secure legal advice upon a peculiar Doint. A few

days ago Mr. Marshall Harris, a former president of the humane society and a very wealthy citizen of Oshkosh, died. He was the owner, for many years, of a lino family horse that was a pet and is a good, healthy animal notwithstanding its age. In hU will, Mr. Harris says that inside of fortyeight hours after his death the horse is to be taken out and shot, this strange and apparently illegal stipulation being inserted in the "document because he always feared that after his death the horse would not be treated well in his old age. Dr. Wilke has thus far prevented the strange and fanatical request from being carried out, and proposed to see if the law cannot save the animal's life. rOTOMAC WLNS AGAIN.

Mr. Webb has filled them, and I have nothing more to say. The committee then left the office. i Claims of Central Strikers. Albany, N. Y Sept 11. The strikers issued a bulletin last night which, among other things, contained information that their claims that the new hands employed by the Central road would leave when the pay-car arrived, had been verified. The men were paid off yesterday, and the bulletin, continuing, says: 'To-night three north-bound and three south-bound freight trains are laid up in the East Albany yards, their crews having deserted them, and the yard there is completely blocked. In West Albany and Karners yard the green nanus are deserting in large numbers. We desire to say to those in need of money that we will be able to relieve their immediato wants in a few days." Superintendent Bissell last night denied the statement contained in the bulletin that the new hands were deserting tho company. Of course, he said, a few "tramps" and "wandering Jews'' had obtained employment when the strike was first declared, and they would probably leave the service, but they did not number more than twenty men. He said only ten men had told tho foremen of the diflercnt gangs, after they were paid of!', that they were going to leave the city. Victory for Pennsylrania Miners. Altoona, Pa., Sept y.
