Owenby VIII Tell the Whole Truth to the
People.


People.
CHICAGO, Feb. 81. A. Owenby. the sil-
YER pool witness, returned from Washing
ton to-day. He threatens to bring suit
against the sergeant-at-arms of the house
and others. whom he holds responsible for
his arrest while here. In an interview he
said he had great quantity of evidence
which he was not permitted to give, which
would have shown that he and Donald, the
New York bank cashier, had an explicit
understanding. Owenby declares that n
member of congress from Nebraska. whose
name he gave, offered him $1,000 not to
testify az to the facts known to him in re-
gard to the silver pool
Owenby charges that several of the con-
Rressionai committee made every effort to
render his testimony las farcicai as their in.
vestiRation." He exhibited a number of
kilograms and letters signed .Donald.'
which he said were from the cashier of the
Hanover National bank. They were worded
IN very guarded manner. and their mean
ing Is not apparent. Owenby said he had
cipher for use in communicating with
Donald. He says that in due time he
would Give the names of the conpressmen.
besides Senator Cameron and Represanty,
tive ketchum, who. he says, were implicat-
ed in the pool.

Clarkson TO Be Foisted Upon the
People in Some Expensive
Capacity.
His Chief Recommendation u
That He Can Give Once
to Republicans.
Further Conference with tbs Indlan
Chiefs--Esrnings Of Subsidissd
Railway Companies.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9Thero IL QYeat
deal Of pressure here among leading Yepub-
hcan spoilsmen TO get Clarkson In the cab
met. He was ., sncce ssfal in roofing out
nearly all ths democratic postmastors that
1T is known thas, should hs get cabinet
place, he would make room for Thousand
or more republicans in the next year. The
thing may be fixed for CIarkson. for IL Ia
said to meet with favor at 10 White house.
In support Of this, the indianapolis journal
of yesterday. the home organ Of the presi-
dent. ons Of the editors being an occupant
OF the White house, printed tho following
editorial paragraph: "a reconstruction Of
the cabinet that would bring Mr.. Clarkson.
OF Iowa, into 1t, could not fail TO be crafty
ing to republicans eve ywhere. Mr., Clark
son is republican of the best type, and an
able man wherever be is placed"
OF course, the cabinet would have TO bs
reconstructed to give Clarkson place; for
he is in no respect an able man, and there 10
no cabinet position that hs could fll with
the exception Of signing his autograph dis
missing democrats. Az far AZ making him
secretary Of the treasury, that would be
such an absurdity that the whole country
would laugh. Now how could tho cabinet
be reconstructed to give CIarkson and !
number of republicans place, and at the
same time help along the Harrison boom
for 1892. Why the postoffice department,
for it requires less head than any other
cabinet place, and 1t is good place for q
political spokesman or good politician.
Clarkson is both. A man does not have to
be overloaded with brains to be either.
Wanamaker might be given the treasury,
or Mr.. Noble might take it, and Mr.. Wana-
maker the interior. Neither Wanamaker
nor Noble is fitted for the treasury, but as
an emergency exists to give Clarkson :
cabinet position for political purposes the
experiment might be tried. Anything 10
chance.

SIR JOHN TO the PEOPLE

sElectioneering Address to the
Dominion Voters.
He Decries Full Reciprocity as q
Stepping Stone to Annex
alton.
Loud Pr0testati0ns Of Loyalty spd Much
Wanting 0f tile Glorics Of the
Union Jack.

ToAcNTo, Ont, Feb. 0.--Sir John MacDon.
aid hns published an address to the elect.
0rs Of Canada in which he says: "As n
1852, and again in 1851, so in 1891 do ques-
tions reiating to the trade and commerce Of
the country occupy tho foremost place IN
the pnblic mind. Our policy in respect
thereto is to-day what it has been for the
past thirteen years, and is directed by a
firm determination to foster and develor
the resources of the dominion by every
means in our power consistent with Can.
ada's position as an integral portion Of the
British empire. 10 that end we have
labored in the pnst, and we propose to con-
tinue in the work to which we have applied
ourselves, OF building up on this continent,
undes the flag of England, great and
powerful nation"
Dealing with the policy of the opposition.
he says that Unrestricted reciprocity would.
IN his opinion, inevitably result in the an
nexation Of the dominion to the United
States, although its advocates in Cannda
deny such to be the case. Sir John con-
tinues: 10 the descendants Of the pio-
neers who settled this country, the multi
tude OF Englishmen, Irishmen and Scotch
men who emigrated to Canada to
build MP new homes without ceasing to be
British subjects, appeal and ask yon what
have you to gain by surrcndering that
which your fathers held most dear? Under
the broad folds of the Union Jack we en-
joy most ample liberty to govern ourselves
as We please, and at the same time we par
ticipate in the advantages which
fow from association with the might
lest empire the world has ever seen.
The great question which you will shortly
be called upon to determine resolves itself
into this: Shall we endanger our posses
sion Of the great heritage bequeathed to US
by our forefathers, and submit ourselves to
direct taxation for the privilege of having
our tariff fxed at Washington, with the
prospect Of ultimately becoming portion
,f the American Union?' I commend these
issues to yonr determination and to the
Judgment of the whole people OF Canada
with unclouded confidence that YOU will,
prqclassn n the world your resolve TO show
yonrSsives not unworthy OF the proud dis
tinction4 you enjoy Of being numbered
among the most dutiful and loyal subjects
Of our beloved qneen.''

THE GAME WITH THE ATHLETICS
The National base ball team batted very hard
yesterday and did not make very many bad
errors. and the result was that it won the game
from the Athletics by the score of 8 to 5. This
success was partly due to the good work of
Pitcher Carsey. who. though hit with some de-
gree of regularity, managed to keep the safe
touches of the visitors well scattered. and thus
they were unable to make more than one run
IL any inning. Sprightly Tommy Dowd played
the best ball of the day. making four hits. with
a total of eight bases. besides playing his posi-
ton in a style that set the bleachers to bowling
