THERE WAS NO POOL.
Ihe Congressional Committee Closes Its
live Sti CATION.

The Congressional Committee Closes Its
investigation.
The silver pool investigating commit
tee made its report to the House on
the 25th. The report, which is unani-
nous, gives the history of the investiga-
ton, abiding to the more important
testimony, but not reviewing it in de-
tall. 1t dlSmlsSeS the testimony of Mr.
Owenby as the product of a 'romancer,
whose imagination is not restrained bv
the limitations of the truth. Prior to
the examination of Owenby, says
the report, the testimony of SEN
ators Vest and Cameron and Mr.. Little
brought out the fact that the latter had
purchased silver for Senator Cameron,
pending the silver legislation of the last
session, and had sold it by the Senator s
order before the silver bill passed
subsequently Representative Abner
Taylor (Il.) appeared before the COM
mlttee and testified that he bought sill
yer after the silver bill became law
and when no additional silver legisla-
ton was proposed or expected, and had
sold it IN August last.
There is no evidence, says the report.
that any pool, combination, syndicate,
or individual Spectator or spectators
furnished money to enable members of
Congress to invest in silver or carry sill
yer with the understanding that such
members Of Congress were TO have the
profits, or that any senator or repre-
sentative was interested in any silver
pool or syndicate, as charged by Owen
by; nor any evidence that any senator,
representative or government official IN
dividually invested in silver bull
ion, or was directly or Indirect
ly interested in silver specula-
tons, pending the silver legislation of
the first session Of the present Congress,
except that referring to Senator Came
ron. The evidence shows that one rep
resentatiye purchased silver after the
act OF July II, 1890, was passed, and
when no silver legislation was pending
or proposed, and sold it in August.
There is no evidence that any repre-
sentative is now or has been during the
present session Of Congress directly or
indirectly interested in silver bullion or
certificates representing silver bullion.

More Trouble for Mrs. O. Shea.

By the death of her aunt, Mrs,
Woods, Mrs. O'Shea came into large
fortune, but the public illusions to
Mr. ParnelPs probable interest in the
fortune have induced her brothers to
bring an action to have the will
declared invalid on the ground that I'M
due influence was used, and that the de-
ceased was incapable of making will.
Applications have been made to see
documents which Mrs. O'Shea does not
want to produce, including diaries of
