At the opening of the silver pool investiga- tion yesterday, a letter was read from J. H. Owensby to Mr. W. B. Stevens in which be said: In reply to your inquiry, I have to say that I am willing to appear and testify without re- serve, provided I have reasonable assurances that the investigation is made in good faith, that Ihave satisfactory guarantee that I shall be allowed to summon and compel the attend- | ance of persons and papers in confirmation of my testimony. and provided, also, that it is thoroughly understood that if I go into the matter at all I shall ha into conr, where I coull have fair play and punish the perjuries which Iam sure will follow my diglosures.

FOR THE ELECTIONS BILL, Enthusiastic Meeting Under the Auspices of the Harrison and Morton Club. ‘The action of the Senate in laying aside the elections bill was not anticipated by the man- agers of the meeting which was held last even- ing in the Metropolitan Colored Baptist Church on F street. In spite of that fact the meeting | was held—a very large and enthusiastic meet- ing— and a number of ringing speeches were made in favor of the bill. No dissenting voice made itself heard Inst evening to disturb the current of the sentiment in favor of the elec- tions bill. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Harrison and Morton Club, and the invitations issued by the club were gener- ally accepted. By8 o'clock the large audi- torium was well filled and the corps of ushers exercised their ingenuity in finding space for one more. In the first row of pews were seated Recorder of Deeds Bruce and Mrs. Bruce and other prominent colored people of both sexes. Bewides the speakers there were seated on the platform Charles S. Morris, W. H. Jones, Dr. Wilder, Capt. Meredith, Repre- sentative McDuffie of Alabama and Representa- tive Houck of Tennessee. The latter was d to the platform from a place in the audience where he hi modestly seated him- self. Mr. W. Calvin Chase, the president of the lub. presided, and after prayer by Kev. Walter Brooks, Mr. Chase proceeded to make a vigor- m which he warmly commended President Harrison and Speaker Rived for their ¢fforts in behalf of the elections Dill. He referred to the ne ew and denoanced the policy which had pro- duced such a condition of affaira. FORCIBLE RESOLUTIONS. A forcible set of resolutions was presented by Mr. Kobert H. Terrell, which set forth that as the republican party in the convention of 1888 declared in favor of a free ballot the passage of the elections bill is not onty expected by the re- publican party, but is demanded by justice. It was resolved that the thanks of the republican ty was due to the President and to the mem- rs of Congress who had supported this meas ure and that Congress be urged to enact this measure intoa law. The resolutions further provided thatacommittee of sever be a pointed by the ebair to call upon the bbe €an senators who had voted with the nO- erats and urge them to «upport this bill. The | resol the committee be increased to \ Subsequently the committee was named, Dr. Chas. B. Purvis being placed at the htad. A resolution was presented from the execu- tive committee by A. St. A. Smith in favor of the seating of James Hill, the contestant from the third congressional district of Mississippi. Is was adopted. DR. PURVIS’ SPEECH. ‘The regular speech making part of the pro- gram was begun when Dr. Purvis of this city was introduced as the first speaker. He echoed the evident feeling of the meeting when he wefaced bix remarks with the statement that felt rather blue over the action of the Sen- ate in laying aside the elections bill. He. how- ever, said that he had not abandoned hope and he still relied upon the republicans in Congress to take trvorable and decisive action upon this bill. He regretted the action of some mem- bers of the republican party and said that the party resembled just now the Saviour in one Tespect at least, as it found itself betrayed by a few pieces of stiver. He did not think that the republican party could afford to desert the co!- cored man and he believed tha: the final out- couse would be favorable. FOURTH AUDITOR LYxcn. Fourth Auditor Lynch, the next speaker, ex- pressed the opinion that the prineiple of the elections bill would survive the present defeat and woul oki, sung with great spirit : jah” and the opportunity was raced to take upa collection. Speeches were made by Mr. E. M. Hewlett of this city, Dir. James Hill of Mississippi and Hepresena- tive Langston of Virginia.

They came in that evening and camped only across the road from the troops’ camp and the soldiers divided up their bedding with some of the Indians that night. In th meantime two soldiers and s scout nade their way for the said agency, where they had the rest of their company of troops to come for help if there should be any trouble, as they ere talking of taking the guns away from Indians. They also ordered rations for Indians and told them they were going to issue them to them tomorrow. ‘On the morning of the battle I rose early and said to one of my friends that “Iwill stay until ‘on all go in an you all for company,” But at 8:30 the ball’ began to roll and they aa roll for awhile—I mean cannon balls. Then soldiers began to search the village and take the guns.

Lxwistox, Ipano, Jan. 26.—Robert Ray Ham- ilton is alive and in good health. This is the word brought to this place, the county seat of Nez Perces county, by a ranchman named Sanford. Robert Ray Hamilton came west last summer, having bought an interest ina ranch and en- tered into partnership with a Mr. Sargent. A few weeks after Hamilton's arrival it was re- ported that on September 2 his body was found by J. 0. Green, a son of Dr. Norvin Green of the Western Union Telegraph Company and an intimate friend of the one time New York at semblyman, in the Snake river. Mr. said the body looked as if it had i water four or five days. He positive fied the corpse, however, as well as. the watch and papers found on it. The remains of the alleged Hamilton were not sent exst for burial, but were interred here, far off from New York city, in which he had spent all his life. This was said to have been in accordance with the wishes of the dead man. Savford sys he got his information about Robert Ray Hamilton being alive and in good health from the meri who worked on the Hain- ilton-Sargent farm. From their remarks h gleaned that there was ® cloud on Hamilton's carcer and that he wanted ta’ appear to. the world as dead. : The corpse found was that of a man who very much reseinbled Hamilton, and was placed in the river, and the information wus purposely given ont that Hurailtor was dead. ‘The laborers said that several prominent peo ple were in the secret, and that Hamilton was still living, and that he had gone to Australia or to Alaska under an assumed name. silts socom Os Girl That Cries Glass, The physicians and oculists of Findlay, Ohio, are greatly puzzled over the case of Jeni Sutton. From the right eye of the girl fifty- four pieces of broken glas# were taken by Dr. T. ©.

Kerens, the millionaire republican politician and friend of President Harriton, is traveling in Europe with his daughters. In a letter to her mother from Rome on December 27 Miss Made- line Kerens gives a beautiful description of a visit to the Vatican, in which occur a few words that will be interesting to Americans gener. ally. She writes: “Mgr. Delle Valpe informod his holiness that papa was a friend of the Presi- dent of the United States. His holiness said, apparently as if in doubt, “Mr. Harrison is nt now, is he not?’ Then, as if he knew whereof he spoke, he continued, ‘Mr. Cleve- land was before him,’ and inaing, he in- quired: ‘Do, you know Mr. Blaine, ‘great of the rest of the Indians fired a yolley before the soldiers did anything, iss guns pouring straight into the men who were at it and it was so clove that PRESS DISPATCHES FROM THE WEST REACH XEW YORK-HAVOC AT PHILADELPHIA—TUROUVOHOUT ‘NEW ENGLAXD—TRANSMIBSION OF NEWS AC- (COMPLISHED WITH DIFFICULTY. Dispatches from the west began to arrive at New York city yesterday afternoon about 2 o'clock and these were the first news dispatches from the.outside world since Sunday night. ‘The ticker service in New York city was still suspended and businessat most of the exchanges wa almost at « standstill. The cotton and cof- the rovenue cutters were pressed into the service between Sandy Hook and the city. The dam- age to the electrical companies of the city is es- timated at half a million dollars.

The company had information that there are more than 200 poles down on the line between Alexandria and Richmond, Va., and the highway and railroad lines between Baltimore and New, York were badly prostrated, more disastrously within a cirotit of forty miles south, west and north of Now York. Western Union had no wires working beyond Jersey City south and west except the one wire via Albany, and there were no wires working east of Williamsbridge on that route. ‘The company’s lines in New York city werein comparatively good condition, there being less than 10 cent of the offices without com- munication. The gold and financial and general news circuits in New York city were in fairly good condition, 90 per cent of the whole Ding in operation. \@ land lines in connection with the cables were entirely. interrupted, but with the com- pany's two submarine cables to Canso they were able to provide fair facilities for the cable businoss.

He will be able to reach New York by way of Buffalo today, with « wire working between Philadelphia and Harrisburg. In the vicinity of Harper's Ferry, W.Va, 90 poles are down.

The Maritime Exchange had no wires to Delaware Breakwater and nothing can be learned of the extent of the damage on the coast. The storm iy Philadelphia resembled very much the blizzard of 1888. In Camden the police and fire alarm telegraph systems were thoroughly crippled and tangled wires were overywhere on the streets. THROUGHOUT NEW ENGLAND. ‘Phe storm throughout New England was an unusually severe one. The Long Distance Telephone Company of Boston had no com- munication with New York for the first time, it is enid. Telograph wires suffered severely. The sound boats had a hard time going around Point Judith. Manchester, N.H., reports that the storm lasted nine hours and t fifteen inches of snow fell, obstructing travel and prostrating wires. There were twelve inches of snow at Nashua, N.H. Haverhill, Mass., was cut off from telegraphic communication with the outside world. ICE GORGES IX THE SUSQUEHANNA. Special telephone messages from Wilkesbarre, Pai, to Philadelphia gave particulars of the ef- fects of the storm in that vicinity. Electric light wires are broken and the city was in dark- ess ast night, ‘The ice gorge in the Suaque- hanva, which threatened to cause an overflow of the portion of the city along the banks, was partially broken and the water has gone down Tiree feet. At Plymouth, however, the gorge was still unbroken and may cause trouble. The track of the Bloomsburg division of the Dela- ware, Lackawanna and Western railroad was under water and travel was suspended. It is believed that by today the water will have sub- fided suficiently to allow the resumption of travel. ‘THE GALE AT BEA. The Merchants’ and Miners’ Transportation Company's steamship Dorchester, Capt. F. M. Howes, from Boston, which arrived at Norfolk last “night, reports that she spoke at 10 a.m. Sanday the two-masted schooner Jennie E. Simmons of Philadelphia off Fenwick Island light ship, the captain of which reported that his ‘eseel had cerried away her foreboom in the gale of that date, also that the boom struck and killed the mate, James Kelly of Boston. Capt. Howes also saw two or three schooners which had lost mainbooms and sails, but re- quired no assistance. He reports the gule as very severe, with a terrible sea At4 p.m. on the 25th he saw a signal of distress flying from a partly dismantled schooner, the James E. ifford of and for New York. He hove to and took her in tow for Delaware Breakwater, ar- riving there at 6 a.m. Sunday. The wind was blowing # gale, with a heavy sea, at the time of speaking the Clifford. Capt. Howes had a life- saving mortar aboard the Dorchester which throws a line 1,500 feet, without which, owing tothe bad weather, he ‘could not have gotten a haweer to the Clifford. It worked likea ‘THE STORM IN THE BAY. ‘The number of oyster boats which arrived at Baltimore yesterday morning was considerably smaller than usual on Mondays. All the cap- tains report the storm of Saturday night one of the severest ever experienced. —___—_<oe Indians Coming to Washington. Gen.
