MR.. HEWITT DEPENDS POOLING.

Mr.. Hewitt, Of New York, moved to strike
out the portion OF the third section which pro-
hibits pooling. Mr.. Hewitt said that while
pooling might be an evil, there were many
evils which were remedies for other greater
evils. The evils that pooling was intended to
remedy. and which had become iptolerable
were the evils of unlimited Competition
Large business houses had been compelled to
employ clerks whose sole business it was to
go from railroad Office to railroad Office and
make bargains. More than that the companiee
themselves, which were intended to be com
mon carriers. found themselves reduced to the
cond1tlon OF petty hucksters, who were COM
PelIeq 20 nave a great army of clerks to regu-
late the freight on every invoice of freight
shipped over their lines. This evil was 90
enormous that it had led to the only prac-
tlcaDle remedy, which was pooling.
After remarks by Messrs. Reagan and Dunn
In opposition to it, Mr.. Hewitt's amendment
was lost by vote of lS9 to 369
Mr.. Hewitt then offered an amendment per-
mltting pooling contracts when they are rea-
sonable and just.
The debate was interrupted, and Mr.. Er-
mentrout, OF Pennsylvania, presented from
the Committee on Accounts privileged resO-
luton regulating the manner in which the
expenses OF the committee investigating the
conduct of Marshal Lot Wright should be DIS
bursed. a dispute arose as to the occupancy
OF the floor by Mr.. Keifer, of Ohio, and the
Republicans feeling aggrieved at the ruling of
the Speaker, demanded the yeas and nays on
the adoption of the resolution. The resolu-
ton was adopted.
MT. Reagan moved that all debate on the
third section of the interest commerce bill
close in five minutes
The Republicans desired longer time, and
after nearly an hour wasted in the roll call
ten minutes were accorded them.
Mr.. Hewitts amendment was rejected With
out division.
In the course of the discussion Mr.. Budd, Of
California. cOntended that the provisions of
the bill did not prevent physical pooling as
cOntradistinguished from mOnIed pooling.
and though Mr.. Reagan denied that this was
the case. he permitted Mr.. Budd to offer an
amendment, which was adopted, to remedy
the difficulty. Further consideration of the
bill was then postponed. and a recess was
taken until O'Clock in the evening.
The House at its evening session passed Is
pension bills, aud adjourned until to morrow.

a doubtful point in history. THIS lady IS now
in almost complete destitution, owing to the
mysterious cessation of a pension which had
been paid her by European government.
For what reason? According to the lady's
account. she is the daughter of a puissant
crowned head, and the victim of substitu-
ton. One of her parents was married NOR
ganatica ly before being married royalty and
legltimately, and she pretends that, in accord
ance with promise made to the mOrganatic
parent, the norganatic princess was substi-
tuted for the royal princess. Nature having

LoGAN's HEART BOWED DOWN.
His Worry Over His Prospective Retire
ment NOticeably Telling on Him.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator Logan
looked haggard and worn as he sat in the
Senate to-day. He is very anxious about the
action of the Illinois Legislature in regard to
his successor. His anxiety is telling on him.
He is very depressed and discouraged. The
Legislature, counting the two Independents
as voting with the Democrats. as the Illinois
men say they will, will be tied when it comes
to a vote on the SenatOrship This reduces
the chances of LOgan's election to a minimum
even if he should receive the Republican eau
Gus nomination, but the thing that worries him
most is that he cannot count on the Republican
caucus nomination. The Illinois Republicans
think that in order to get the SenatOrship the
Republican nominee will have TO spend a
large sum of money on the Legislature, and
Senator Logan has no money to spend Now
eX-Congressman Charles b. FarWell, Senator
Logan's great rival, has plenty of money and
tor Logan fears that the Republican nominee
may be Charles B. Farwell. At all events,
Mr.. Farwell does not propose that it shall be
Senator Logan. Then the Democrats are so
hopeful that Senator Logan can be beaten,
even if nominated by the Republicans,
that they are making preparations
to spring William r. Morrison
on the Legislature. Representative
Morrison has already gone out to Illinois to
look over the ground. Senator Logan, be-
leaguered on every hand, will not spend
merry Christmas His melancholy condition
is shown by the fact that his friends in the
publicans of that delegation to call on him to-
night with the double purpose of cheering up
his heart and stiffening up the backbone Of
his following in the Illinois LEGISLATURE.

WASHINGTON, Dec. l9.-While it uuques-
tionably is true that Gov. Cleveland has not
communicated with Senator Bayard or any,
body else in regard to taking a place in his
Cabinet, it is also true that through his
friends and the friends of the gentlemen con-
cerned he has obtained the preferences Of
several prominent Democrats as to their
positions at his council board. 1t is in this
way that he has ascertained the preference
of Senator Bayard for the Secretaryship of
the Treasury and of Mr.. Thurman for the
Secretaryship of State. Among well informed
men on the Democratic side of the Senate it is
understood that Gov. Cleveland's desire is to
surround himself with the strongest and
wisest men In his party, regardless of their
location, and that he desires to build his
Cabinet on Messrs. Bayard and Thurman as
the foundation stones. 1t is expected by
Senators SO well informed as to be almost
spOkesmen for Mr.. Cleveland that Messrs
Bayard and Thurman will undoubtedly have

brokers, who were charged with swindling

One charge is ''crlminal' and the other of
