THE OMAHA DAILY BEE, I'RIDAY. JANUARY 9, 1801 THE ALLECED SILVER POOL. Oharges That Oertain Congressmen Were in it to Be Investigated COMMENT ON THE CENSURE OF REITER. I'he Bill Recognizing the Services of Military Telegraphers During the War Passed by the House —Miscellaneous. Wasnixarox Buneav Trie Osina Bre, 513 FoURTERNTH STRERT, Wasixe D. C, Jan, 8, From a canvass made today among de erats and republicans of the house a very strong fecling was shown toward investigat- ing the alleged silver pool among members of cong The resolution for this investiza- tion was introduced some time since, and has been slumbering before the committoo on rules, Speaker Reed does not think thero is anything in tho alieged pool, and he has been opposed toan investigation. But from the expressions today it is evident that an inves- vigation will be forced unless the commit- tee on rules reports in favor of an investization by the early part of mneat week. Representative Dockery of Missouri will move that the investigation be taken out of the hauds of the committee, He is assured of sufficiont support to carry through such a move, Messrs. Blount and Crisp being among those who wiil assist him, This step promises to make a Lvely scene next weck, COMMENT ON THE CENSURE OF REITER, The severe official censure which Secrotary Tracy has administered to Commander Reitor of the Thetis for not giv ral dia an_asylum on boar steamer s attracting much comment here. Captain Boutelle, chairman of the house committeo on mavnl affairs, and himself an old navy officer, said today that he had wuch doubt as to the wis- dom of the censure, His idea was that when the captain of a naval vessel was in a foreign port, where there was a United States minis- ter, the captain should take no active steps in an ‘international complication except under the most extreme circumstances, but should leave all such matters for the' government ministers. In short, Captain Boutelle would haye done just_about, as Commander Reiter did. Captain Boutelle, therofore, says that there is much popular ‘misavprehension con- cerning the protection which a government's flag is supposed to give thoso uuder it. The government flag even on a war vessel does not protect men from police regulations, He had bimself, while in_com- mand of a United States vessel at Havre, seen tho local authoritics come aboard and take off sailors who had offended against local laws, The Hayre calubooso was fre- quently full of these American tars, JUSTICE TO MILITAI EGRAPHERS, The house of representatives today did an act of long delayed justice in passing a bill recognizing the services of telegraph oper- ators who were with the union army during the war of the rebellion. Although these operators ormed services more use- ful than “those of any soldiors and often endured dangers and hardships equal to any suffered by privates in the ranks, they have ne until now been recognized as ha {ug any part in the suppression of the reb lion anud have been reiused all recoguition for their sorvices, Upon the motion of General Osborne of Pennsylvania, however, the bill was pagsed today and there will be 1o trouble in getting it through the senate, THE SACKVILLE-WEST INCIDENT REVIVED, Senator Cullom received a lotter this morn- ing which recalls that diplomatic comedy Which ended with the sudden extinetion of Sir Lionel Sackville t at the close of Cleveland’s administration. An old friend of the senator wrote him introducing M. George Usgoodby of Pomona, Cal. Mr. Os- goodby wanted Some documénts concerning the Sackville-West dismissal, It was ex- plained that he was the clever Catifornian who entrapped Sir Lionel into the bad break which sccured his retirement, There has al- ways been some doubt as to who got up this trick, but tho let: to Senator Cullom today put the questions atan end. Osgoodvy and the alleged Murchison are one and thosame. Senator Cullom sent Mr. Os- goodby nulf a dozen copies of the eorrespon- dence between tary of State Bayard and Sir Lionel Sackville-W secretary of state courteously ically invited the English minister to pack up his traps and get out of the country, ALMOST A STAMPEDE, Quite a mare’s nest was stirred up today over the shipping bill. It was alleged that the result of the passage of the bill would be 0 50 encourage the ships which bring iron ore up from Cuba that theiron ore industry of the Gireat lake region would bo annibilated. This scemed so plausiblo that thero was & stampedo from the shippig bill by all those northwestern men who have iron industries in their locality. The representative of the American iron interests who Is here took ho view that the increased bounty given the Cuban ore would be very disastrous to the American article, Ropresentative Stevenson of the upper peninsula of Michigan set about oxaminivg this charge and found thatit was quite groundless. The figures which have Deen produced to show that American iron would bo fnjured were ontirely jn- accurate, As & rvesult of tho in- vestigation the twenty-eight representa- tives of iron constituencies who had threatened to bolt the shipping bill were brought mto line once more, Representative Stevenson himself said that he would vote for the bill and had uo fear of the Cuban oro and as Mr. Stevenson represents the t iron locality in the country his lead will_undoubtedly “bo followed by all the others. but cmphat- MISCELLANEOUS. Secretary Proctor has written the follow- ing to Representative Dorsey in reply to the latter’s letter transmitting a petition from tho citizens of Keva Paha county relative to retiining the garrison at Fort Raudall, 8, TN SUEDL e information has been received from any source, including reports from_ the command. ing ofticers at Fort Randall, thero have been 0o cases of violence to people or depredations upon property by Indians in the region re- ferred 1o during the time of the present ex- citement umoug the Sioux.

Grasgow, Jan, 8, pecial Cavlegram to ¢ Brp)—Another day in the history of the great Scotch railroad strike opened with- out any signs of definite improvement in the situation being shown, The railroad direc- rshave repeatedly announced the strike practically over; that the strikers are beaten, and that tho usual trafic upon ail lines has been resumed. This statoment was believed at first, but now it seems that the utterancos of rallroad officials were not correct. 1nand about this neighborhood there are still about, six thousand men out on strike, and, in spite of the statements made by representatives of the corapanies, freight trafeis notimproved. On the oth d, the strikers are contitu: eiving financial and moral support from the various trade unions throughout Though the sum ived 10 keop their families from suffering, the aid received enables them to keop up the fight against thoe railroad companies. The gen- eral public is longing for some kind of a sot- tlement to bo arrived at between the compa- nies and their employes. WHY BISMARCK RETIRED, The Origin of His Dispute with the Emperor. Benus, Jan. 8.—[Special Cablogram to Tup Bre|—The Hallesche Zeitung claims that the origin of thedisputo betwden the omperor and Prince Bismarck is as follows : Dr. Simson, president of the Leipsic tribunal, is sald to have emphatically represented to the empevor in January, 1589, the danger to German prestige if the prosccution of Prof. Geficken for high treason is continued. Dr. Simson protested against the efforts attrib- uted to Prince Bismarck to influence the public agninst the profossor, thereby, the doctor claimed, exsrcising pressure upon the supreme tribunal's decision. The public prosecutor, it will be remembered, la Janu- ary, 184, sorved upon Prof. Geflickon in this clty an indictment for high treason in con- noction with tho publisation of portions ot the diary of the late Emperor Frederick. The fndictment, & voluminous document, traced the entiro working life of Prof. Geflicken in trying to prove that ho had been a persistent cuemy of German unity, THE VIADUCT BONDS, They Are the Subject of Two Injunc- tion Suits. An amended petition has been filed in the district court in the matter of the request of Ernest Stubt restraining, the city comp- troller and State Auditor Benton from turn- ing the Tenth street viaduct bonds over to the Union depot company or to the Union Pa- cfie, John ). Howe is made a plaintiff in the amended petition, which 18 considerably en- larged in its scope. It makes the mayor, comptroller and all officials and employes of the city, Stato Auditor Bentou, Thomas L. Kimball' und Hon, Alvin Saunders defend- ants, In addition to the order concerning the bonds, the amended petition asks that the transfer of the property to the Union depot company bo restrained and that all transactions between any of the parties to the action, touching in any way with the bonds or tho deeds to the property be estopped pending a settloment of the case in court. The viaduct bonds are reposing peacefully meanwhile in a safety vault to which Comjp- troller Goodrich carries the only key. EXPECTING A SETTLEMENT.

"Mho local ofticlals disclaim _any knowledgo of the settlement reported to have been made in New York, but are inclined to think that there 15 something in it, and thers is a gen- eral feeling that the official announcement of a settlement of some kind will be made with- inadayor two, by the terms of which the Milwaukee and 'Rock [sland will be allowed to cross over into Omaha. — Sentence Day in the Federal Court. A number of United States prisoners who had been confined inthe county jail awaiting sentence, were brought _before Judge Dundy yesterday afternoon, The first one to be called up was E. F. Graham, the Fremont school teacher, who had used the United States mails for the purpose of informing gullible people that he possessed the secret to the road to wealth via the *‘green goods" route. Graham had been convicted under two indictments, and had been i the county Jail about six months, most of that time hav- ing been since his conviction.

Licutenant Lyon of the First regiment, ac- companied by two scouts, wos dispatched to the frout to inspect the condition of the guards and move those nearest to town closer to the line of the reservation. The Indian chief Young-Man-Afraid-of- His-Horses and a faw other Indians departed this morning for the agency in charge of & detachment of regulars, Licutenant Colonel W. R.

The boys spend their time at writing, reading, mending thewr alroady worn out gov- ernment clothing, cracking jokos and spin- ning yarns, It has heen roported hore by some of our scouts that the settiers auartered at the court house are dancing every night and we are expecting orders to compel them to stop or 0Ve ur company to the sceacof the troublo. We have lots of brave boys who are anxious to either take part in the dance or put to rout the dancers, General Miles and statt arrived yosterday and our orders are to move this morniug to a point on Beaver croek tem or twelve miles north of this piace and no doubt more interesting eovents will follow. Many of the citiens aro quite indiguant to think that the companies_ are ordered away from the town and the boys are sorry to go, owing to the fact that were promisod a banquet by the citizens, Otherwise the boys are all willing to go and do their duty us soldiers, Hopes are enter- tained that an opportunity will be offered to give the boys a chance to show the stuff of which the national guards are made, and lot mo promise Tue Bee readers that the boys will aquit thomselves in a way that will bew credit to thomselves and the organization. I tho way of rations, we still have a box of candlos and six pounds of soap_loft. Wo will probably take the entire supply with us tothe front, and no doubt that after tho legislature meets we will receive another issue of rations. Last night the company was busy getting ready for today's move. The tents were mended and and all necessary preparations made to make the boys as comfortable as possible. Our com- pany quartetto were out last ovening and as i, was generally concedod that it would b the last time we would hear such soul-inspir- ing music until we hear the roar of the can(y)ons in our new positions.

Wae are quartered in the city hall and sleep just as sound as anybody could. By the amount of mnoise it takes to w.ken some of the boys when called for picket duty one would think Red Cloud's band could hardly do it, As is customary company C is the bauner as well as color company here, and the boys are complimented on every side, especially by the ladies.
