REPORT O N THE srLcoTr STEAL.
The Committee Decides that the Defaication
Should Be Borne by the Government.

The nm Decides that the Defaicafion
Should BE Borne by the Government.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 19.-The special House
committee investigating the Silcott defal-
cation has at last agreed upon report. by
the terms of which an appropriation will
be asked to make good the losses sustained
by the members of the House. Mr.. Hol-
man and Mr.. Hemphillcould not be induced
to unite with the majority in this agree
ment. Mr.. Holman wished to have the S70.-
600 remaining in the Sergeant-at-arms's
office distributed first to the members who
had money on deposit and lost it 1.-THE total
being about $4,000. and to have the re-
mainder divided pro rata among the men,
beers who lost their November salaries. Mr..
Hemphill favored the reference of the case
to the Court of Claims. Against this propo-
sition it was argued that Congress could
not compel any one TO make mp a case be-
fore the Court of Claims; while in the alb
seuce of further legislation any member
had the right to 90 before the tribunal and
sue for his lost salary.
The committee, therefore, accepted Mr.
Holman's views as far as they went. but
added another clause providing for tho
passage of an appropriation of so much
money as might be necessary TO make good
the deficiency in salaries after the distribu-
ton of the funds on hand. Ii was esti-
mated that about SIS. 600 would cover this
deficiency. In view of the necessity for
securing the concurrence of the Senate.
and also i'm anticipation of q good deal of
debate i'm the House upon the bill which
will be prepared. the committee decided IL
would withhold its report until after the
holiday recess. rs nothing could be gained
by bringing il in one day before the recess.
A separate bill will also be reported. maxi

1t speaks Public Opinion.

The Iowa State Register hits the nail
squarely on the head in the following item:
sit is pleasure to the Register to recon-
mend an article of merit, and this is the
case with Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhea Remedy, as it has proven to be
all that is claimed for it in many instances
that have come under the writer's imme-
date notice, and the Register believes that
every family should have bottle of this
sterling remedy at all times at their homes,
as it may be necessary when least eX-
pected. Messrs. Chamberlain & Company
present testimonials as to the virtue of the
life-saving preparation, from nearly all of
the states in the union, and many instances
ar given where death has been averted by
its timely use Three different epidemics
are noted, in which this standard medicine
has come out victorious, and this was the
most successful of all the remedies en-
ployed. Too much care cannot be eXer-
cised to preserve the health of the children
as well as the heads of the house, and it is
always best to be prepared at all times.

WHAT ELSE COULD BE EXPECTED,
The Sad Predlcament in Which Georgia
Angel Finds Herself.

That fellow Price, the balloOHist, who
such an unenviable reputation in
this city, has been heard from again. Just
what every one who knew the brute ex-
pected would occur has come to pass. The
Butte Inter Mountain tells the story as fol-
lows: 1.-THE aerial artist known as J. W.
Price. who has been in Butte for several
weeks past and made ascensions from the
Geological Gardens and Central Park,
broke into the county jail last evening. 1t
seems that he has not been living very
immaculate life, and this fact has caused
his wife a great deal of grief.
Mrs. Price is a sixteen year old
girl and is very good looking,
and the professors neglect and infdelity
We're hard for her to bear. Yesterday
afternoon she swore out complaint charg-
ing her husband with adultery, and Officer
Carroll arrested the aeronaut while he was
on his way to the O'Clock train, intending
to leave the city. Price spent the night in
jail, his examination having been set for 10
O'Clock this morning. At that hour he ap-
peared before Judge Newkirk and the case
was dismissed, as Mrs. Prices courage
failed her and she refused to prosecute.
Had other evidence been obtained the case
would have been carried on. Mrs. Price
stated also that Price had tried to induce
her to lead life of shame that he might
profit by it. Some interested parties have
promised the balloonist coat of tar and
feathers if such propositions are repeated"

TENNYsoN INTERVIEWED.
Some Poetry of His Which Senator Tabo
Thought Real Good.

Some Poetry of His Which Senator Tabor
Thought Real Good.
Having returned from three months tour
in Europe, old ex-senator Tabor, of Colorado,
is reeking with recitals of interesting expert
ences Barring the trivial circumstance that
they quarnntined against him in Scandinavia
under the erroneous impression that he was
Mormon proselyter, there was nothing, to
use the words of our society reporter, to mar
the harmony of the occasion. While he was
in Italy the senator tried TO buy some of the
pictures and statuary he saw in the Vatican,
and inasmuch as he offered very liberal
prices he thinks that the proprietor made
mistake in not selling. Travelling from Edin-
burgh to London, Senator Tabor met very
charming gentleman named Alfred Tenny-
son; suspicioned that he was newspaper
man, because he was SO well posted, and this
suspicion was confirmed when Mr.. TennySoA
recited a number of poems, which he assured
the senator were original
Its wonder to me-" said the senator,
shat you don't print some Of them poems. "
Mr. Tennyson made no answer, but he
looked rather surprised
"Oh. / mean it," said the senator. ~
know poetry when I see i'll sat next to
months, and moreover ! run The Leadville
Herald for two years There are four things
in this world that I'm cynosure on, and
they are mining property, diamonds, rufaed
night shirts and poetry. Now I'll stake my
reputation that some of them poems of yours
are good deal above the average-particu-
larry that one you recited about the crick."
"You like The BROOKE"
Eyes; and that other one about Maud and
the garden; they've got the right ring
they're full of the divine inflatus''
Mr.. Tennyson didn't say much, but the
senator (who likes TO encourage struggling
talent assured him that if ever he wanted TO
print his poems in book form he could get a
check covering the expense simply by ad-
dressing H A. ". Tabor at Denver
The senator did not think very much of
Westminster Abbey; he objected to theair of
snobbishness which obtained there He ran
out to Stratford-upon-Avon for day and
placed $40 bouquet upon Shakespeare's
tomb He sought in vain to learn aught of
the whereabouts and condition of the play

THINGS POLITICAL.
Two More Liberal Rallies Held
Last Evening.
THEY BOTH DRAW BIG CROWDS.
A Correspondent Suggests Some Very ApprO-
pirate Additions to the Liberal Cir
cular Recently Issued.

Two more Liberal rallies were held last
evening, one at the Sixth ward school
house and the other at the Eighth ward
square.
At the latter place there was an assem-
blage of probably one thousand people, in
Guiding drum corps and number OF
other corpses. The Honorable Frank
Pierce wore the chair and the new handle
to his name with al the blushing modesty
of the usual maiden effort.
Judge E. d. Hoge was the first speaker.
When the judge was through talking, he
sat down; this was the signal for a ire
mendous round of applause.
The. Honorable Charley S. Varian then
arose to his feet, but afterwards switched
nervously over onto his ear and stood there
for nearly an hour. Mr.. Varian said that
man shoul Ute for those who would
give the best government; but
in the principles of the Peoples
party to tell him why they SO believed. He
also intimated that he would be glad to
make the acquaintance of any street-car
driver in this city who would aspire to the
position of prosecuting attorney or dog-tax
collector, unless the royal blood" flowed
in his veins. BY this time the enthusiasm
was so unbounded that large quantities of
it was picked up on the next block after the
meeting.
JUDGE Powers, who had just arrived
from the Sixth ward stepped TO the plat
form. "When l see this vast congregation
of intelligent and enlightened faces''-
began the judge as he felt nervously about
the front of his vest to see if his watch
guard was securely fastened. But the
Judge made pretty speech as free from
malice and as full Of wit as one could desire
and it held the crowd together till the
close.
