SILCOTT's STEAL.
The Special Committee of the House
Not Agreed Yet.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-Although it
peared last night that the special Rou -
committee charged with the Investigation
of the Silcott defalcation had substantially
reached an agreement to recommend REFER
ence of the case to the court of claims, the
committee had hardly got together this
morning before they we're again at odds, and
the prospects OF an agreement again be-
came indefinite. This state of affairs re-
suited from the renewed insistance of men,
bers who favor the passage Of an appropri-
alton bill to meet the deficiency upon the
adoption of their view. Besides this there
are two other distinct propositions pending
before the committee. One OF them is to
divide the monsy left them by Silcott, pro
rata among the members who have
lost their salaries, and drop the matter :;
while the second is a compromise PROPOSE
ton looking to reference Of the case to the
court of claims. This mornings session of
the committee was fruitless of results,
except that Representatives Payne and
Hemphill were appointed subcommittee
to ascertain the amount of the individual
iOqoes

dense population, and would consequently
