The Silver Pool Investigation.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-The House COM
mlttee on military affairs will report a
resolution providing for the appointment
OF George H. Bonnebraker, of California,
as member of the board of managers of
the National Soldiers home.
The silver pool committee has received a
telegram from Congressman Mason, of
Illinois, stating he has seen Owenby and
that the much wanted witness consents to
appear II his expenses are paid.
MASON was requested to purchase
OWenby ticket and inform him his ex-
penses would be paid by the committee.
Stevens, OF the GiObe-DemOcrdt, also re-
celved telegram from Owenby, which he
lad before the committee, asking if counsel
would be allowed here. He named ex-Gov-
ernor Foraker as his attorneY
Dockery read prepared statement Civ
ing more in detail the facts testified to by
MIN Wednesday, He said he was anxious
to beat the force bill. 1t was not known if
Cameron was re elected he would vote for
1t, but his attitude of uncertainty led
Dockery to hope he would vote against it.
He (Dockery) did not wish Just before the
election in Pennsylvania to make public
any private business transaction of the
Senator which might be legitimate and
proper, but before he could show it to be
such that could be used by political enemies
to his detriment. Dockery had information
that Cameron purchased silver but no
knowledge that he was connected
with any pool nor of any i'm
propriety i'll his purchase. Dockery
thought it only justice to Cameron that
the matter should not be made public by
him when it might be used by Cameron's
political opponents to his injury before he
could have an opportunity to explain the
facts. There was no agreement or under
standing between Cameron and himself, or
any other person. that his Dockerys) tes-
tlmony should be delayed. He acted on his
own judgement, induced solely by the rea.
