Pretascao, Pa., Jen. 17.—There is possi- bility of trouble between the telegraphers on atleast one of the railroads entering this city and the officials of the company. About a week ago an order wae issued by the Pittsbarg und Lake — Erie road demanding that all members of the order of Railroad Telegraphers should send in their withdrawal cards or prepare for dismis- sal. It instated that nearly all the operators on the road are members of order, but they did not comply with the demand. Since then the compa taken no action, while the men are perfecting their organiza~ tion and awaiting developments. E. C. yy, superintendent of telegraph on Pennsylvanin lines west, has sent a card to each operator O- pounding the query “Are you a member of the Order of Railway Tclegraphere?” No intimation was conveyed us to what the result would be in case of an affirmative answer and no responses have yet beon made to the query. coda Ba ut THE FINAL Delegates to the League Convention Again im Session.

American Graphophone, 6) | oltre THE SILVER POOL TALK. Correspondent Stevens Examined by the Committee. VARIOUS CONVERSATIONS ON WHICH HE BASED HIS CHARGES—MEN WHO CAME OX FROM NEW YORE—MR. JOSEPH RICKEY AXD HIS REMARKS— ‘THE EXAMINATION TODAY. ‘The House silver pool investigaton committee began its inquiry this morning. Mr. W. B. Ste- vens, the principal Washington correspondent of the St. Louis Globe Democrat, which paper first printed the charges of a congressional silver pool, was called to the stand as the first witness. The article in the Globe-Democrat was shown to Mr. Stevens. ‘TRE MAN WHO TOLD HIM. He identified it as having been prepared by himself from statements made to him by others. Witness hnd an interview with J. A. Owenby, in which the statements given were made. Could not cate Owenby exactly, but ‘wan managing the Silver Reef mine in Utah and could, witness thought, be reached with- out diftteulty. THE MATTER OF PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE. Representative Rowell—Have you any per- sonal knowledge of any Senator or any member of the House of Represeniatives being engaged in asilver pool at the time of the pendency of the silver bill or subsequently thereto of your own personal know ledge Mr. Stevens—I don’t think I have. Perhaps if you will tell me exactly what you mean by personal knowledge Ican way. Q. Have vou ever heard any member say anything with regard to his own connection with silver? ‘That would be proper evidence. A. I don’t think I have heard any member say anything of his nal connection with silver speculation. No; I have not been pres- ent at any negotiations in which Senators or Representatives were engaged. farther questions Mr. interview was not subi y being written. Owenby mentioned some names which witness left out in writing. His mal knowledge as to the conduct of Senators, and Reprecentatives went only to the extent of the interview. OTHER PEOPLE'S POOLS. Q. Have you any knowledge of other than members of Congress being engaged in a silver Pool pending legislation? A. They would be statements made by others tome. When you say silver pool to me, do you mean silver legislation? I have some little knowledge of that kind. I had a conversation with Col. Joseph K. Rickey of Fulton, Mo. Mr. Rickey said be had bought some silver while this silver legislation was pendingand had made some money, but not nearly so much as had been reported. Rickey said he let go too soon. Rickey said that he had only 5,000 ounces, that he bought at 104 or 105 and let go at 110. | Wit- nes# could not say whether or not Rickey stated he had bought silver in connection with others or aa a private «peculation. ‘The conversation with Rickey. whom witness had known a long while, occurred not long ago. Did not believe Rickey said anything about having furthered legis- lation. WHAT MR. RICKEY 18, Mr. Rowell—Do you know of your own knowledge whether Rickey was what is ordi- narily called a lobbyist! Mr. Stevens—He scems to have a great deal of business about the Capitol. I don't know vhat he is. He is a banker. ames of David T. Littler and ex-Treas urer Tanner of Ill were brought out as having on hearsay testimony some connection with sliver «peculation. Witness said he had a conversation with Senator Stewart, which, in witness’ opinion, was confirmatory of ome of the statements which had been made to him. Senator Stew- art said he was not personally connected with silver speculation and witness added. “But I understood him to have personal knowledge of other people being connected with it.” Mr. ‘Stevens said he had talked with a good many people about this matter, but what wa told him was rather from hearsay than personal knowledge. FOLKS WHO CAME FROM NEW YORK. “Do you know whether, pending the silver legislation, there were any agents offNew York bankers, brokers or silver dealers in Washing- ton?” Answer. Only by report and by what Owenby said, which was that they wore in the habit of coming over here and ‘having conferences at the Shoreham and Chamberlin # and directing the plans of the lobby. DID NOT LIKE TO CALL THEM LOBBYISTS. In response to a request for the names of these lobbyists Mr. Stevens replied that he should not like to call them lobbyists. Owenby had given witness a number of names of per- sons who he sid had been avsisting logislation, Witness could not recall all of them, but believed he had made @ memorandum of them in a note book and would furnish the names if he could tind them. Among the names Owenby mentioned were F. G. Newlands, who bought ox President Cleveland's country place, and H. B. Parsons of New York, cashier o Wells, Fargo Co. WHY ME WAS HAPPY. To Representative Pecl Mr. Stevens said he had known Owenby since 1885. The interview in September before the publication of the original article took place in the Globe-Demo- crat office. Q. What was his manner at that time? A. He was very cocky. Silver was then at 117. [Laughter.} Mr. Stevens said at subsequent interviews, one of which took place just before Christmas, Owenby was in u different frame of mind. He appeared disgusted with the men he had been in with and talked as though he had been ‘treated badly. A CONVERSATION OF RICKEY's. The examination was then directed toward conversations with Rickey, at the suggestion of the committee, names being omitted and wit- ness said: “I met Rickey in a hotel and he said “What is this d—d fellow (naming the Kepre- sentative) after by hia resolution.” Tasked Rickey what he meant. Rickey re- : Imet Smith, the journal clerk of the jouse, and Smith said: Your friend (mention- ing a Senator) ie going to get, into trouble. Hickey suid he usked Smithy what he meant, and Smith replied: Why, he's the man that Representative So-and-so is after. Rickey said he replied: Idon't know what you mean. Why? Rickey said. Smith replied: ‘They ex- pect to connect him with the silver pool. Rickey said he replied to Smith: How do you know? Smith's answer was: Why, he told ‘a member 30. ‘Congress 80. Rickey said he then retorted. Well, I know this party never owned an ounce of silver in his fe, and I will give you anew $500 gold note if 'you will produce the Representative that said the other Representative told him ‘Then Rickey went on to say why he knew his little information in regard to the reported | that. tele. | friend was not in it. Representative Oates then took up the inves- tigation and crose-questioned Mr. Stevens with reference to Owenby. The witness said Quenby told him in the last converantion t he mentioned by Owenby because his informant’s private affairs. A QUESTION OF NAMES. . Mr. Oates said witnoss would eee that the mention of the names did not make the men guilty. Mr. Payne of Now York asked if that bows Boag ‘witness should objected to ten iogethor (or the ‘or ten men and w or urpose of effecting the most favorable Mr. ‘Was Representative or other officer of the United States in that group?

He did not think there was anything to show that. ‘The committee replied that that was only a shod Owsiby ta cass of an investigation whet could prove the statements and Owenby There was some ended by unanimous agreement that the question should go over for the presoat. ‘MR.

A Prozaste Vir0.—While it is impossible to obtain an authoritative statement from the President in regard to the Senate silver bill it is intimated very broadly by gentlemen who have conversed with him or. the subject that he is very much dissatistied with the measure in ita present shape, and that he will certainly veto it unless it undergoes a material modifica- tion before it is submitted to him for action. | He is in entire accord with Secretary Windom on the subject aad the latter's opposition to the free coinage of silver ia a matter of record.

Teller, Walcott, Washburn and Stanford voted with their re- publican leaving the democratic vote a strict party one.

He had been told by republican citi- zens here that a popular form of government would never do on account of the negro vote, and yet a republican Senator was now attempt- ing “to pass a bill intended to force t negro in other places to _ vote. = McAdoo then discussed the federal election bill. Mr. McAdoo denounced what h styled the ingratitude of the republican part for disfranchising the negroes in Washingtou surrounded as they were with every advan tag. Mr. Richardson (Tenn.) followed in the same line. Without tho negro the republican party would be in a hopeless minority, and yet the Party disfranchised them in this city. A CODE OF LAWS XEEDED. Mr. McCreary remarked, to the relief of the House, when he arose that he wished to speak on the pending bill. He thought the measure should be strictly investigated. In looking into the matter he had been more than sur- prised that the city of Washington was without acode of laws. This he thought a most re- markable state of affairs. The portion of the bill relating to charitics was also unique. _Mr. Allen (Mich.) arraigned the democratic side for using the time for debate on this bill in discussing utterly irrelevent subjects. In to disfranchising the people of the Dis- trict, he denounced the statement that the city had been disfranchised on account of the negro. Everybody had been disfranchised, Lecause the population of the city was largely made up of transients. NOT DISPRANCHISED ON ACCOUNT OF THE NEGRO. Mr. Rowell (Ill) also attacked the statements for in the provided | capital for the nation. Sixty-five million people Constitution as a | controlled and owned the District Pumbia, ‘The executive otticers here were therefore ap- pointed und Congress legislated for the district. The constitution had intended this. Every argument from the other side carried the suggestion that any colored man who interested himself in politics wasan intruder. Mr. Atkinson statement that | the District disfranchived on ac count of colored — people had often been stated, but had never been sustained by a shadow of proof. The District hed practically been disfranchisad long before the “negro became an element in politi- cal life. The legislative assemblies had never been able to enact uny general legislation and ll acts passed by them outside of purely police and municipal regulations bad been shown to be unconstitutional. Mr. Kerr said that when the ill was passed disfranchising the people of the district uo democrat had voted in opposition while & number of republicans had opponed this measure both by voice and vote. Mr. Kerr then denounced the position of the demo- cratic party on the negro question. Mr. Breckinridge’s amendment striking out $424 for Engincer Commissioner was then de- feated. To STRIKE OUT THE ASSISTANT INSPECTOR OF BUILDINGS. Mr. Breckinridge moved to strike out the ap- Propriation of #1,200 for one assista~t inspector of buildings. Speaking on the amendment he said in many departments there too many officers. He wonld prefer to divide tter men. Mr. McComas mid that during the year over 8,000 building permits had been issued, carry ing a cost of over $7,000,000. Another amixtant inspector was much ‘needed. The amendment was then defeated. ‘MR. SAYER'S AMENDMENT. Mr. Sayers then moved to add after the section an additional sentence. ‘The sec- tion reads that the accounting officrs of the Treasury are authorized and directed to re-examine the accounts of the Commissioners accruing since July, 1870, and prior to M: 6, 1843, and credit the same with all such dis- bursements and expenditures made in good faith heretofore suspended or disullowed in settlement of the same wherein it shall ettis- factorily appear that money was paid employes of the District prior to for is wold and good: and delivered, work and labor done, materials fur- or services rendered to the District in accordance with the contracts and agreements: made in good faith on behalf of the District, and also to adjust and settle equitably said accounts, allowing all payments made in settlement of claims against the District and for expenses incurred in good faith on account of the District. The addition provides that the sum so used should not exceed £20,000, and that the Com- missioners shall report on the amount ex- pended to the next Congress. Mr. McComas accepted the amendment. Richardson then stirred upa riot by ing to the desk and having read a number of extracts showing wha’ met outrages on colored — north. The extracts were all relat to oceur- rences in Obio and aroused the dec’ ire of Mr. Grosvenor and other Ohio gentlemen.
