Tho report on tho caao was signed only by tho Alliance members ol tho committee. It recommended that tho contestant bo given his seat. The minority had not had time to prepare a report, said Mr. Kood, and he asked that action on tho report bo deferred till to-morrow to give him time to prepare the minority's report. Tho request was cot allowed, as it -was a well-known fact that the Republicans were nsing every means to delay tho seating of the contesting Alliance men, and the report was brought to a vote after over an hour's debate. The report was adopted yeas. , nays. 22. Mr. Warren introduced a resolution inviting Senator Ingalls to appear before tho IIouso to-morrow morning and deliver an address on the issues of the day.

M. now the Ingalls Men Argue, Tope is Special to Chicago Tribune. r - The Ingalls men claim the old soldier a element in addition to their own forces, and the speech of Livingstone, president of the iHew York Alliance, delivered here Saturday i'night, in which he gave away the secret of ' - . m A. .1 . . . ... a xno conieaerRio cuu ox me finance, nas i opened tho eyes of some of the Alliance folks here. Livingstone is here for Ingalls. Ha put up at Id 2 lie's hotel, where the Re- ' publicans are encamped, and went to bed. ; At midnight one of the Kansas Alliance -men knocked at his door and told him, for God's sake, to get up, as he was in a nest of ' thieves. Livingstone has been tellinz this - tory. He also has letters in his pocket irom Southern Alliance men, m wiiich they state that when the Alliance comes into power tbey will cut off the pension of the ' old soldier, and this has stopped some of , .the Alliance men here, momentarily at visas t Livinstone is a long-headed man. He says '(to the Kansas Alliance man: "You didn't plot the Southern brigadier bulldoze you some years ago; why are you afraid of him now. and why do yon let him bulldoze you rjowi" TnetrouDle witn the Kansas Al- ; liance man who is here is that he has no one ; to answer Livingstone's queries. One man undertook it bv cltins In calls' a earlr noliti leal career. But Livingstone came back at him with the remark that Ingalls hadmado ' no for all that by his standing up in his j seat in the Senate ever since, making , amends for bis arly shortcomings; that he had fought in the benate for the old sol- . diers not only in Kansas, but of the Nation with a big N; and that he had fought the Southern brigadier from the same place as -valiantly as tho old scldier fought him in the Held. The brains of the Alliance here used to be in the Held, and when this sort of an argument is made they go off and sit down in a dark corner and twirl their t hum oe. and if any one approaches them they get up and walk away. They act as if they were afraid of being convinced. Ingalls In a XXayseed Role. Torek a Special to Chicago Times. Senator Ingalls says he is going to win. He won J d hardly say anything else. He ap pears, however, to oe unusually nervous. He came in to dinner to-day at 2 o'clock with Billy, and his eyes took in every table. Now and then he saw a face that was familiar, and then he would ask Billy, "WhoisthatH Billy would give him the same, and the Senator would look in the direction of the familiar face again and rub ills hands and smile. This sort of thing was kept np nntil the waiter got weary and asked: "What are you going to eat!" Then the Senator took the menu card, held it bofore him as a chnrchman would hold his prarer-book. looked it over, and answered in a voice which reached the ears of an Alliance man across the dining-room. Ah. give me some roast beer, some baked beans, some corn-bread, and a glass of but tenmlk." The waiter said there was not a drop of buttermilk in the house, and the Senator replied: "rsever mind, then any kind of milk you have." and then his eyes traveled around the room again, while he held up bis hands before him and beat the ends of his fingers nervously. His hair was rumpled, his high collar was broken down in front, and his face had upon it a two days' gTowth of beard. The Alliance solons are not to be seen about the hotels. There is only one at ths Copeland. He was seen on the parlor floor to-day, standing in front ox the elevator entrance. An acquaintance said to him. 'Come on: let's walk down. It is only one flight.0 "No, sir." said the man from the country. "I'm going to ride; it's no use of paying for these things unless yon git 'em," and Tide ie did. The hotel men of Topeka are not in love with the Alliance inen. The latter are in high favor at the boardinghouses. They not only occupy the room, but frequently three of them occupy the same bed. and tbey divide up the expenses. This is an actual fact. This is theirhrst appearance in public life, and it is refreshing to watch them. If any one speaks to an Alliance man on the street tho Alliance nan is ready to run. "Have a cigar!" asked a well-drilled politician of one of the Alii ance men whom ho met on the corner. "Never imoke away from home," replied the legislator, and h'l walked away across the street and stood gazing steadfastly at a show-bill which represented a beautiful young woman with one arm around the neck ox a Jersey heifer. THE UXEiOIS CONTEST. A Farmer Causes m Sensation by Perpetrating a Joke Compromise Possible. SrmxG field, I1L, Jan. 0. A decided sensation was caused in the struggle for the United States senatorship, to-day.when. on the thirty-first ballot, in joint session, Taubeneek, F. M. B. A., voted for Palmer, Democrat. Cheer after cheer arose from the Democratic side, but it was soon learned that Taubeneek had agreed. for a joke, to exchange votes with Ilowand, Democrat. The Democratio leaders endeavored to persuade Rowand not to carry out the trade; but he did, and when his name was called, voted for Btreeter. amid laughter from theKeoublican side. The farmers' candidate. Mr. btreeter, will have a conference to-morrqw with the three F. M. tf. A. men, at which it will be decided the question of dropping 6treeter and taking: ud another candidate who might be more acceptable to other parties. The farmers would not say what other man they had in mind, in an interview, to-night. Messrs. Moore and Cockrsll both said flatly they will not. at any time, support General Palmer. Cockrell had an extended con ference, this evening, with Chairman Jones, of tho Kepnblican State central committee, and Senator t oiler of the Republican steering committee., lie was positively inionnea me ztepuoucans would not come over to Streeter. Cockrell frank lv told the Republicans the F. M. 11. A. men would never vote lor Palmer, and asked that the Republicans join them in the election of a farmer candidate accept able to both. The Republicans linaily held out hopes to Cockrell that, perhaps, ulti mately some compromise candidate might be found who would receive the solid Re publican and F. M. 15. A. vote. A memorial was to-day laid beforo both houses of the Illinois Legislature from the Anti-lottery League of Louisiana, citing recent happenings in North Dakota and saying the only certain safeguard lor states against the lottery evil is a constitutional amendment. In the Senate the memorial was referred to the committee on federal relations, and it is understood that a ioint resolution will soon be re ported, requesting the Illinois Senators and Representatives ia Congress to vote for submission to the various Mates or an anti-Jottery amendment to the federal Congtitution. - Moody Still In the Lead. Pxtjue. 8. D.. Jan. 25. The Legislature at noon balloted for United States Senator with the following result: Bloody, Rep., 73; Tripp. Dem., 23; Hardin, Ind.. 24; Kyle, lnL. 11: Cross. InL. 10. The remainder of the votes were scattering. 6u the second LalloU Senator Moody lost two votes, get'

ting 71; Hardin gained two. receiving 26; Tripp lost one. getting 23. The remainder

of the candidates received about the same as on the first ballot. The Legislature then adjourned nntil to-morrow, wben balloting will be resumed. Tho bribery committee was not ready to report to-day. The Lawrence county con tests, one of which was decided Saturday. were delayed pending a decision of tho Su preme court on toe legality oi tne election papers issued, by a vote of 61 to f0 at the morning session of the House. On these cases depend the result of the senatorial contest, as it is a question whether four iiepublicans keep or lose their seats, a surprise came this afternoon, wben the matter was reconsidered by a vote of CI to 58. The previous question was then de manded, and a call of the House ordered. with every prospect of an all-night session, as the Republicans, announced that they would light every step. Spilt Among Liberal at Ogden. Conns. U. T.. Jan. 2G. There is no little excitement here over the coining biennial election. The present gentile administration has made many enemies, and there is a strong "anti-ring" feeling in the Liberal party. A Citizens' party has been formed, which (mores the old nartv lines anil will endeavor to place Mormons on its ticket. ..... m . t Ihis new party, has securea couiroi oi a number of the wards, and it is expected. unless a satisfactory ticket is nominated by the Liberals, that the Citizens' party will receive many new votes, and, by securing tho Mormon vote, make a close race for the control of the city. Another Bulldozing Legislature. Charleston', W. Va., Jan. 2S. Tho House this morning, after an acrimouious discussion, parsed, by a vote of 40 to 20, a resolu tion that in case of the'passage of the fed eral elections bill the State will make no world's fair appropriation. Ferguson and Dyer, Democrats, and all the Republicans voted against it. A similar resolution came np in tho Senate this afternoon, Senator bt. Clair. Democratic world's lair commis sioner, making a hard fight against it. OUTWITTED BY THE MINORITY.

A carriage in which he rode collided with a street-car and was completely overturned. the Senator standing upon his head. lie bled much from a cut on the left temple aud his right arm and shoulder were badly bruised, lie expects to go to ashington in, the morning, however. JOY AMONG THE MILLS CROWD. Action of the Senate Cheered In the House Sharp Rebuke by Kelly of Kansas. Washington, Jan. 26. The usual skir mish took place in the House as to the reading and approval of the journal. It was linaily approved yeas, 141; nays, 107. Mr. Boutelle of Maine moved that the House go into committee of the whole on the navy appropriation bilL The yeas and nays were ordered and the clerk had called but a few names when Messrs. Mansur and Heard of Missouri, returning from the Sen ate side, spoke a few words to their Demo cratic colleagues, wherenpon Mr. Rogers of Arkansas rose, and interrupting the call, informed the House that the "force bill had been defeated.7' Then the Democratic aide gave cheer after cheer, the Speaker's gavel being ineffectual for some moments to check the Democratic enthusiasm. "Another Bull Kun." ejaculated Mr. Brew er of Michigan. , , Mr. Hatch of Missouri suggested the propriety of dispensing with the further calling of the roll. There was no longer any necessity for a roll-call. The roll-call was continued, and the House went into committee, but the battle was not yet over. Mr. Kelly of Kansas said that a gentleman on the other side had said that good news had been received from the benate. He did not doubt that it was good news to tne assassins of John M. Ulavton. Democratio hisses. They would throw uo their hats and cheer, and say: "That will give ns further permission to assassi nate and kilL" Something had been said about a betrayal of party pledges. He knew of no such betrayal so far as this end of the Capitol was concerned. Gentlemen on the other side, who had betrayed their pledges, if they had been betrayed, were responsible to their constituents. If there was any betrayal it came from those men who had been instructed by their State legislatures to vote for a certain bill and who had turned around and voted against it. He had no doubt that the persons who killed young Matthews, of Mississippi, could take the news as good news. Mr. Lewis of Mississippi denied that the killing of Matthews grew out of political cause, lhe causes were purely personal. The committee having arisen, the bill was passed and the House adjourned.

MR. BYKUM IS A BOYCOTTER

In Sympathy with Southerners in Their Course Towards the World's Fair. McKinley's Efforts -to Adjust the Hawaiian Treaty Defeated by Democrats Changs In Supreme Court Rales. "WORLD'S FAIR BOYCOTT. Southern Expressions on the Snbject Echoed by Congressman Bjnum. United Prtss Dispatch. "Washington, Jan. 26. The unexpected entanglement of the fate of the Chicago world's fair with the fate of the elections bill has made a good deal of impression on some of those who are most zealous in try-, ing to pass the bill. Southern members say that, so far, the feeling in the South which has led to the refusal of State legislatures to make appropriations for exhibits at Chicago is due entirely to business considerations. "In. my State," said Representative.McMillin, of Tennessee, "we have just got our finances into such shape that we can meet the interest on our bonds and pay current expenses as they fall due. Now, if the Leaislatnre should make an ap propriation of 8100.000 or 8200.000 for an exIJIIMb Mb VUlvagU, lb nvuiu m vvusiderable strain on the State treasury, and naturally the people would only consent to it on condition that the State would derive beneht from tnis expenditure. Our people feel that if the elections bill passes a state of atlairs must re sult that would render vain any attempt they might mako to attract capital or immi gration from the rorth and from Lurope. So instead of throwing their money away in an exhibit at Chicago they will keep it in the treasury." Tne unanimity of tne southern icepreseniatives rinds an echo among the Northern men. Representative Bynnm of Indiana, referring to the action of the Southern peo ple, said that be was heartily in sympainy with them in the matter and would, if a member of a Southern delegation, vote against an appropriation for the fair. Mr. Bynnm said further that he reflected the sentiment of the Northern Democrats and that he upheld everything that badthusfar been done. The statement is made that Northern Democratio legislatures will soon fall in line, on the ground that if all the States do not participate it will not be possible for the fair to be a national success and, therefore, it would be extravagant and unnecessary to appropriate money for exhibits. Twenty-five Southern men voted for Cnicago as the place for holding the fair. These are among the Congressmen who, in case the elections bill passes, will oppose any appropriation for the fair, not only in their State legislatures but in the next Congress. The Southerners wbo voted for Chicago were Abbott of Texas, Alderson of West Virginia, Anderson of Mississippi, Brown of North Carolina, Bullock of Florida, Cheatham of North Carolina, Coleman of Louisiana, Crain of Texas, Culberson of Texas, Evans of Tennessee. Ewart of North Carolina, Davidson of Florida, Finley of Kentucky, llouk of Tennessee, Hare of Toxas, Latham of Texas, McCreary of Kentucky, Morgan of Mississippi, Pendleton of West Virginia, Sayera of Texas, Ralph of West Virginia, Tayler of Tennessee, Tnrpin of Alabama and Wilson of Kentucky, i Is Indiana In This Conspiracy? Madison. Wis., Jan. 26. A story has been started here that a combination had been entered into between the Democratic members of the Legislatures of Wisconsin, Indiana and other Northern States whi-sh show the Democrats, where thoy are in the majority, intend to adopt the tactics of some or the southern legislatures and oppose legislation for the world's fair annrouriationa. if the Kemiblican benators persist in their support of the federal elections bill. Following this came the repoxt, this afternoon, that the United States Senate had knocked the bill out, but the same was not considered authentic and the gossip was lively after the session was finished to night. It is rumored that a joint resolu tion to express the idea above mentioned has been prepared. A bill will soon be introduced in the Senate to make an appropriation for the Wisconsin exhibit, and many of the Democratic members say the talk is strong of beating it if the bill so obnoxious to Southern Democrats passes Congress. New. York May Also Boycott. Albany, N. Y., Jan. 26. In the Assembly a resolution was to-day introduced providing that if the elections bill is passed by Congress the Legislature of this State shall make no appropriation for, nor take any part in the world's fair on the ground that the passage of the force bill will revive sectionalism to such an extent that the fair will not be the fair of the whole country, but only a sec tion of it. THE HAWAIIAN TREATY. McKlnlej's Effort to Have It Adjusted Op posed by the Minority In tne House. Bpeclal to toe Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Jan. 26. Major McKinley said to-day that it had been his earnest desire to send to Hlwaii, accompanying the body of King Kalakana, the readjustment of the Hawaiian treaty, which was unintentionally impaired by the McKinley bill. It was concerning this oreach of treaty that the King came to this country, and np to the time of his death he was greatly concerned as to the action which Congress would take. The matter has dragged along ever since the session opened, and McKinley's effort to amend the tariff act in behalf of Hiawaii has been met by Democratio opposition that if the McKinley bill was to be changed in any one particular it ought to be changed in many particulars. The death of King Kalakaua in this country led Mr. McKinley to believe that it would strengthen our cordial relations with Hawaii if the dead monarch's body was accompanied home by a complete readjustment of treaty relations. It would be a much more substantial offering to Hawaii than the naval demonstration which acaccompanies the King; but Mr. McKinley met the same objection from the Democrats that he encountered earlier in the session. They would not take the measure up by unanimous consent. As a lively contest, involving the entire tariff question, seemed imminent if he pushed the matter, Mr. McKinley abandoned his purpose, and King Kalakaua's body weut home to Hawaii leaving the shattered treaty behind. CHANGE IN RULES. The Supreme Court Takes Steps to Facilitate Its "Work Decisions Yesterday. Washington, Jan. 26. The United States Supreme Court to-day announced some important changes in its rules, designed to meet cases brought before the court principally for the purpose of delay. The changes are framed specially to meet habeas corpus cases, and are the result of the proceedings taken in the Jugirio electrocution case in New York. ' It is hoped that this modification of the rule will obviate the necessity for congressional legislation. The most important change made is the addition of a requirement that all appeals, writs of error and citations, unless , specially ordered otherwise, must be made returnable to the Supreme Court within not exceeding thirty days, whether the court is in session or is on vacation. Unless the record and case is docketed within this prescribed time, the case must be dismissed by the court, if it be m sesaiou, and by the clerk dnring vacation time. The etlect of those modifications will be to bring every case before the court within thirty days from the decision of the lower court, except where, for good reasons, an exception is made. It is also not improbable that these changes will shorten the docket of the court and be of material assistance in enabling the body to keep up with current business. The Supreme Conrt to-day rendered an opinion directing that the cases of C. E. Cook aud six others, convicted in the Circuit Court of the United States for the Eastern district of Texas, of murder

committed in No-man's Land, be returned, with instructions to grant a new trial. The Attorney-general in his argument frankly admitted that a ruling of the judge tt the trial was erroneous, and this is the ground on which the action of the court was based. The court, however, decided against the prisoners on the other points in issue. It held that No-man's Land was included by the act of l&ft) within tho jurisdiction of the court which tried the men, and that the contention that as the offenses were committed prior to the passage of the act they could not apply to these men, was erroneous. The law, the court says. is not expost facto as to these men, for the reason that it does not change the crime or the punishment therefor, but merely fixes the place of trial. The court also announced a decision reversing the judgment of the Court of Claims awarding the Central Pacitic road S19G.402 in its suit against the United States. The question upon which the case turned was whether or not under the Thnrman act. in computing the net earnings of the company, their should first be taken out expenses incurred, not for running the road and for -repairs, but for betterments and improvements, whereby the permanent value of the road was increased This court holds that these expenses cannot, under the terms of the Thurman act, be taken out in computing net earnings, and says that the language of the act seems to preclude any charges for improvements being taken ont of the gross receipts before deciding the amount the government shall retain for the sinking fund. The Behring sea case did not come up today for the reason that a ease nnder argument Friday was not yet disposed of. 'lhe Behring sea matter therefore went over until to-morrow. The court was filled with spectators who were disappointed with the failure of the case to come up. SALES OF BREWERIES.

Their Purchase by Englishmen Under Investigation by a Congressional Committee. Washington, Jan. 26. The congressional joint committee on immigration to-day gave a bearing to Frank Jones, of Portsmouth, N. H., inquiring into a sale recently made by him of . his brewing establishment to English capitalists and incidentally investigating the e fleet on immigration which is likely to follow the purchase of American industries by foreign capitalists. Mr. Jones stated that he had sold his breweries at Portsmouth and Boston for $6,000,000, which amount includes between two and three millions of foreign capital. The terms of the agreement, he said, were specified payments of cash and securities with the understanding that he should conduct the business of the companv for three years. Of $6300,000 paid lor the breweries, Mr. Jones received in cash about 6 per cent, of the amount and the balance in bonds and stock. All of the bonds were put on the Kuulish market and were purchased in small amounts. In answer to a question Mr. Jones said he retained about $500,000 of the stock and that a majority of the stock remained in the United States. He would sell uuder no other circumstauces. He had practically control M the business in America, and there had been no attempt tq introduce English labor, customs or changes in the conduct of the company. He had no knowledge of the sale of any other American breweries to English capitalists. MINOR MATTERS. Ten Bushels or Petitions Awaiting; Disposition In the House, and More Coming Daily, Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Jan. 26. There aro about ten tushel baskets full of petitions piled np awaiting an opportunity to get beforo the House of Representatives. When the Democrats of the House began their obstructive tactics last week they insisted npon the reading of every portion of the journal, including many long petitions. From fifty to one hundred petitions, with thousands of names attached, come m. daily, and if the Clerk was compelled to read all theso petitions about six hours a day would be consumed of the time of the House. The Republican members have therefore concluded to hold back their petitions. It happens that there is an unusual deluge of petitions jus-t now, for the Farmers' Alliance, the G. JL IL and numerous other organizations are pressing their particular hobbies! ;lhe . G. A. IL. posts throughout the country are sending petitions in favor of woman suffrage. If the obstruction lasts through the coming week there will be an accumulation of about twenty-hve bushels of petitions. Cooper's Question Unanswered. Washington, Jan. 26. J. D. Ferguson, national bank examinerwas called to the stand, to-day, by the RV.um investigation committee, but aside from securing information already made public with regard to the Kan in note, indorsed by Lemon and held by the National Bank of the Republic, no facts were elicited. Mr. Cooper wanted to know if the witnees had found any of Mr. Kaum's paper in the Citizens' National Bank, in which Mr. Lemon is a director. After a heated colloquy tho committee decided that the witness should not answer the question. Green B. Raum. jr.. then made a state ment denying the charges made by Mr.' Cooper relative to the care of his horses by O'DonnelL Changes In the Army Appropriation Rill. Washington, Jan. 26. The army appropriation bill, which was reported to the Senate to-day from the appropriations committee, carries with it a total appropriation of $24,578,029. being a reduction of $52,500 from the amount of the House bilL The committee struck out the provision that land-grant railroads shall not charge the government for transportation more than 50 per cent, of the rates paid by private parties to companies for like services; also the snecial appropriation of $50,000 to begin the repair and reconstruction of Jefierson Barracks, Missouri. The Government Will Not Interfere. Special to the I ndiao spoils Journal. Washington, Jan. 26. There has been a rumor current that Government Director Plummer has made a second efl'ort to induce the government to assume the responsibility of Jay Gould's repudiation of the contract between the Union Pacitic, and the Kock Island, and the St. Paul companies, but it is stated on the highest authority that such is not the case. Secretary Noble freely states that he sees no reason why the government should interfere in the matter, and that he has no intention of doing so. Airs, rial ford Seriously 111. -Washington, Jan. 26.

CAMERON DEALT IN SILVER

Speculated in the Metal White the Seaate Was Discussing Free Coinage. Confession to the Pool Investigating Committee Mugwump Correspondent Caught in an Untruth Mr. Uedenlerc Talks. FRANK CONFESSION. Senator Cameron Unblashingly Says He Purchased Silver Daring the Coinage Debate. Washington, Jan. 2ft, In the silrer-pool investigation to-day, Mr. Dingley laid be fore the committee a letter dated Jan. 19, from James H. Owenby to V. 13. Stevens, the correspondent of the St. Louis GlobeDemocrat. The letter has been published. It was then explained that when Mr. Dockery had asked Mr. Stevens to withhold the letter, the other day, he did not mean that it should be withheld from the committee, but from the public J. H. Tanner, of Louisville, 111., the first witness of the day, knew nothing of silver pools or transactions, except one dealing of his own. His transaction, he said, consisted of the purchase of 100,000 ounces of silver, for which he put np a margin of $5,000. It was in the shape of certificates Purchased through S. Y. White & Co., of ew York. Senator J. D. Cameron, of Pennsylvania, then took the witness-stand. Mr. Dingley suggested to the Senator that perhaps he had seen the testimony of Senator Vest and Mr. Littler before the committee. The Senator replied that he had no concealment to make regarding his purchase of silver. The testimony of Mr. Littler was substantially correct. He bought silver just as he would buy any other commodity. He had purchased it without much tbonght. He had bought through Mr. Littler, early in June, about 100,000 ounces on a margin of $8,000, before the bill passed the Senate, and crave an order to him to sell in ten days or two weeks. He kept no memorandum of the transaction. So far as he recollected the silver was dispJed of in June. His profits were about Si, 100. He bad no knowledge of any other Senator, or Kepresentative, or government official taking any interest in the purchase of silver. He never knew of Owenby and knew nothing about the existence of the silver pool. . To Mr. Rowell the witness said there had been no talk between him and other Senators about the organization of a silverpool, and to Mr. Oates he said that no member of the House or Senate had ever asked him to exert his influence to prevent the present investigation or to get Mr. Dockery to withhold his resolution. In response to further questions Mr. Camerson said Senator Vest was mistaken in his testimony, when ho said that he Cameron bought the silver after the bill had passed the Senate. II. D. Bogart, correspondent of the Chicago Evening Post, was questioned relative to statements made by him in dispatches to his paper intimating that there were persons who would not object to the present investigations being dropped, and that Kepresentative Flower, of New York, was in the silver pool, etc In regard to the first, ho said he was reporting what was commonly said among Chicago correspondents, and some other statements were intended as mere pleasantries. Regarding a statement that Mr. Flower had bought silver at 'J7 cents, witness said that his impression was that he had heard it from one Edward Curtis who was an employe of the St. Louis silver committee, lie had no personal knowledge of the matter. E. G. Dunnell, correspondent of the New York Times, , was asked concerning a dispatch sent to the Times recently, the purport of which was that a gentleman had overheard a conversation between Messrs. Payne and Dingley, members of the committee, to the etlect that if they had known that the revelations with regard to Senator Cameron would be made, thev would have been roluctant to enter into this investigation. Mr. Dunnell said he believed that the man who gave him the information spoke tho truth. Chairman Dingley said that, inasmuch as there was not a particle of foundation for it, be would ask Mr. Dunnell to give the name of his informant. Mr. Dunnell replied that he would after consulting with him and getting his consent. The witness also said, in reply to other questions, that he had no personal knowledge of a silver pool. Kepresentative Flower then took the stand, and said he never bought a dollar's worth of silver in bis life, nor any certificates representing silver, and he had no knowledge of the existence of a silver pool. HEOEXBERO INTERVIEWED. He Thinks the Sllrer Pool Investigation Is Intended for Political Effect Chicago, Jan. 26. Mr. John W. Hedenberg, who has been so extensively referred to lately in connection with the pending investigation into silver pools, has just returned from Springfield and will proceed to Washington in two or three days in response to a summons to appear on Saturday, Jan. SI, before the committee having charge of the investigation. In an inierview today he said: "I have had no connection with any silver pool and have no knowledge of the existence of one, though I believe that snch pools have existed and may still exist. When I was dealing in silversbullion certificates I sought to learn of the existence of such pools, believing that the parties connected with them would have early and reliable information regarding facts that might influence the market. I was not able to open communication with any such parties, but learnod enough to create tho belief that they existed. The statements that I have seen in the papers regarding the testimony of Hill and George are so far from the truth that I am confident that they must be erroneous reports; therefore I think it well to reserve comment until I see their testimony as officially recorded before the committee.' "It seems to me that this committee has been appointed as a kind of a drag-net for catching political fish. Iuotherwords.it is mostly politics. Tho evidence that par tisan political influences have controlled silver legislation is, to my mind, strong and conclusive. The leaders of both parties have evidently considered less the inter-1 ests of the country than tney have the interests of their respective parties." "Mr. liedenberg, outside of the question of silver pools, have you attempted, direct" ly or indirectly, by the use of money or any means, to influence silver legislation!'' "Well, your question is very broad, and may properly be considered outside of the authority ot this investigation committee. Still, 1 do not hesitate to state that I have expended considerable money in this line, of which I am quite willing to give the committee fnll knowledge if they desire it. I would add that my last act in connection with this matter was a communication addressed to the present Speaker of the House of Representatives regarding the silver bill now pending before the committee on coinage, weights and measures, and he no doubt will be willing to give the committee any facts connected therewith that may be thought censurable, lint I think if the public should know in what manner 1 have expended money on this question it would be thought legitimate and commendable." Mr. J. A. Owenby, who was served with a summons on Saturday to appear before the committee at Washington, has. it is al leged, managed to elude the government omcial who came here to escort him to Washington, and an evening paper quotes an alleged conndeutiai friend as saying: I am -positive that Mr. Owenby will not testify in Washington, nnlessthey find him and take him tnere by force."

Philadelphia Record. ' Children who are condemned to play the role of kings and queens are always to be puled, but as the public rears ra ihnm witn a certain amount of interest, the following; Rarticnlars concerning the young Queen of Lolland will be of interest to many. The little Wilbehmna as vet thinks ofcly of her dolls, her pigeons and her drives and excur sions into the couutry. A friend saw her this summer at a rail way station. A tall, well-made girl, fairly pretty, wbo was jumping and running about without the slightest regard to etiquette. "You see that child," said the statiohtnaster. 'Vhatchild, was replied. fhat one jumping like a kitten. Well, she is a royal princess." One would never have imagined it! She was surrounded by high officials, wbo were evidently standing on their position and dignity, while she was watching the ditlerent. persons who were getting into the train with rather an envious air, which appeared to indicate a wish to get rid of her attendants to enjoy the same freedom. The child has been educated bv a French lady at first. Mile. Siotard, and sbe spoke entirely in r rench nntil she was four years old. Ihen she learned other languages. but. strangely enough, never German, her father having a horror of all Germaus. Miss Winter, an .English lady, now replaces Mile. Siotard, and all h ssons given by the various professors are always delivered in the presence of Miss Winter, who has absolnte authority. . The little Queen has her military household, and her service includes al-o a chamberlain, professors, her governess and other attendants. All this coucerns the Queen but iittle. Her chief happiness is to work in her garden and look after her pigeons, which she loves as much as her dolls. JSho has a large chalet in which she has arranged a pigeonry, and she attends to her pets herself. Early hours are the rule for the royal little lady, fehe gets np at 7 a. m., and at once goes to kiss her mother. At 8 tbe first breakfast is served, at 11 tbe second; 6 p. m. is the dinner hour. Between 8 a. m. and 11 a. M. the Queen has her lessons in languages, music and drawing. After breakfast sbe talks with her mother, who invariably reads a chapter m tbe Bible to her, and explains it afterward. Then the Queeu is allowed to go iuto the garden, wbere she feeds her birds, or rides her pony, and rows in her boat. In her own room she has heaps of beautiful playthings, and large dolls in lovely costumes of every kind and design. AtS p. M. Queen Wilhelmina always goes to bed. Here is a life almost homely in its simplicity, and therefore extremely happy. A NOVEL ailSSIONART METHOD. Peculiar System of Snatching Heathen Brands from the Darning. Kaunas City JournnlThe Kean Bank failnre in Chicago is farreaching in its effects. The ratifications of Mr. Kean's business Connections seem to have been endless, and the number of trust funds which were deposited with him was evidence of a general confidence in his integrity as Mattering as it was misplaced. Mr. Kean's banking institution eeint to have been a favorite depository for church funds, possibly because the banker was willing to act as treasurer without any compensation; aud it appears to bavn been his practice to allow the church moneys the same opportunities to increase that were accorded to the other funds of tbe bank. All of which would have been quite satisfactory had Mr. Kean's speculations been successful. But they were not, and among the funds which would have quadrupled, with better luck, but which, as a matter of fact, were wiped out, was a foreign mission fund which had beu intrusted to Mr. Kean to be advanced to Bishop Taylor, of Africa, from time to time, as the Bishop needed it In his business. The Journal says "business" advisedly, for the money was to be used in buying little Africans .from their heathen parents and transporting them to Christian surroundings. The price of a little heathen was about $50, and to everyone who contributed that much to the fund was accorded tbe privilege of naming the child thatit purchased. Who would not give 30 for tbe sacred privilege of separating a little heathen girl from her hopelessly heathen mother, and teaching her to avoid the" irreparable blunder which her parents had made of living in a country whose salvation has to be importedf There is, of course, a novelty about this method of proselyting to which conservative Christians may at first object. Train o in human beings is not favorably regarded in Christian countries, and they have endeavored to put a stop to it in other countries. But perhaps the end justifies the means, and tbe initial sin of buying children from their parents at so much per head may be wiped out by their subsequent conversion to Christianity. And after that if they backslide it is their own lookout. As It Seems Likely to lie. Chicago Inter Ocesn. The German empire is likely to repeal its edict against the introduction of American pork, which will be a good thing for the American farmer and a bad thing for the American free-trader, who will have one less grievance to charge falsely to "the infamous tariff. ' Matters, as it now seems, are likely to be thus before the present year is oven Tin-plate 10 to 20 per cent, lower in price than it has been for twenty years. American meats readmitted to the German market. l'lush goods cheaper than ever, and, for the first time, largel? manufactured in the United States. Sugar cheaper than it has bern for half a century. A general decrease in price of iron ware. And all these things since, and all but one of them "on account of," the "infamous McKinley bill." The briefly successful falsehoods of the free-traders are beginning to plague them sorely. The Grl Traveling Dackward. Philadelphia Pres.

Pennsylvania st. practically disappeared from that city, bat is prevalent in the cities of Alabama and Georgia, and shows signs of moviug steadily toward the Atlantic seaboard. In 18$9, and early in lJO. the eDidemio traveled westward, but now it is traveling eastward. If it reaches this neiRhborbood late in the winter, while the ground is still frozen, tbe visitation will probably be m mild one: bnt if it is delayed nntil the damp, changeable weather of early spring, the result will probably be more serious.

Milwaukee HentlneL A commonplace man of moderate Intellect, great egoism aud ambition, Mr. Cleveland fietrus to have been deluded, by the praises of a band of mugwumps, into a half belief that he is a statesman, a political philosopher, placed on a moral elevation from which he must aeruiouizn for the rebuke and reformation of a vicious world but not forgetting that there is a iifty-thousand-dollar job at tbe end oi the string on which ' he pulls. Tho eoistio complacency with which this man of moderate ability oilers political platitudes as original discoveries . is apparent in his Philadelphia banquet speech. That he is bent on impressing his "hoodooed" followers with a sense of bis profundity, rather than on ppeaking what ho thinks, feels or aces, is evident in his opening sontences. Such a rigamarole of non sense would be chucked into the wastebasket by an intelligent Democratic editor if presented by anybody elce. Ilia detinition of True Democracv" is equally applicable to "True Kepublicanism," "True Ureenbackism," "True Labor-rartyism." "True Monarchist" or true any other political organism. Hypnotic Crime. CMcajro Newa. Hypnotism is playing an important role in the criminal dramas of to-day. Temporary insanity, blood clots on the brain and mental aberration an reduced to understudies, and hypnotism occupies the coveted center line ou the stage ot crime pi ay a. Gabrielle Hompard. the feminine principal in the Gotitle murder in Paris, accuse Kyraud, tbe actual murderer, of hypnotizing her. Tbe last theory of the London police is that Jack the Kipper is a woman, wbo hypnotizes her victims before she turns a demonstrator of anatomy. Noir comes wife-murderer Faulk, of Pittsburg, who shot bis wiie in a frenzy of religious enthusiasm, pleading that he was hypnotized by a certain George Knnutl, who compelled him to commit the fatal deed. When a watch has been magnetized it la demagnetized by suspending it in a magnetic field and slowly raising it until it is out of the magnetic intlueuce. If a murderer is a murderer because he was hypnotized, he cau be dehypnotized by suspending him iii some contiguous held and slowly raising him uutil he is out of the hypnotic intlueuce. It will never fail to etlect a radical and permauentcure. IIUI Mill In It. Atlanta Cocitltullon (Hill Orjrtn).
