Stories differ as TO the conclusion ar

and others that no definite conclusion
was reached. One republican, senator,
who voted with tile democrats to lay
aside he gag-ruIe resolution, is report

The republicans seem to be getting
the worst of the silver pool investiga-
ton, in spite of the evident intention
of the committe to find out as little as
possible. No democratic member of
either braI.ch of congress has been
implicated. while two prominent re-
publicans- Senator Cameron and Rep
resentatiye Taylor, of Ilinois-have
admitted their guilt, and another one
Representative Ketcham, OF New
York-Is expected to do likewise.
The greatest farce of the investigation
was enactd this week when Owenbey,
the man who claimed to have been a
msmber of n silver pool, was brought
from Chicago under arrest and put on
the stand. Almost before he began
his testimony, the committee decided
that he must not mention the names
of senators or representatives that he
had heard named by other people as
speculating in silver. That practical
ly shut out all that portion of his
evidence that might have led to find
ing out something. and it is believed
that it was intended TO have just that
very effect.
