(O~snbyl to the committee. Witness
spoke of further conference with poaald
as 70 the agreement between himself, Dom
aid and others for the purchase of 6. 90 900
ounces OF silver. The silver was pur-
chased through several firms, among them
the Chase aud Fourth National banks.
August Belmont and others. The firms
were not interested in the purchase, but
Donald said that they were purchasing
silver for certain members of congress.
1t Was What Donald said.
Owenby frequently disclaimed having
personal knowledge of any congressman
being implicated in silver purchases, but
tried frequently to bring in the names Of
persons whom Donald said were dealing
IN silver In this way he brought up the
names of Ketcham of New York, and D.
t. Littler, and Payne each time objected
to him giving names that he only knew by
hearsay He believed there was a CON
gressional pool in silver, and had so stated
in an interview his belief growing out OF
what had been told him By Donald
and others He had heard that
$3.50, ooo had been put up for the benefit OF
congressman who were too poor TO buy
silver themselves.
Couldn't Deal with Cullom.
" ME the examination was proceeding
Owenby said without solicitation that he
himself had ihtimated To Senator Cullom
that he knew where the senator could get
some silver TO speculate with, and if
Culiom did not have any money he lthe

mony of James A. Owenby before the sill
yer pool investigating committee was con-
tinued yesterday. Owenby explained that
the books to which he referred yesterday

with Donald, the Hanover bank cashier,
in which Donald, according to Owenby's
testimony, had told him that certain sena-
ators and representatives were interested
in silver transactions Owenby offered to
give the names, but Payne and Rowell OBJ
jected. Oates thought the names should
be given.
Seven congressman Interested.
Witness said he thought seven congress
men were mentioned in the conversation.
Donald stated that these congressman
were interested in silver through certain
parties and institutions, and he men
toned the Fourth National bank and the
Chase National bank as conducting the
dealings for them. Donald also said that
Zimmerman & Forshay, August Belmont,
and Carson & Simonds were interested.
The orders for silver were given through
them, and it was bought in London, as
Donald said, "to cover up their tracks
Donald said that when he had any doubts
about matters he came over to this city
saw a representative and also a senator.
He had close relations with the latter.
The total amount of silver that was to be
bought by the persons interested with
Donald was. according to Donald's state
ment, 81 .oOO,000 worth.

CONFEDERATION AT ST. PAUL.

A Blaze That Left Nothing But the
Ashes of 81, 800. 900 in Properly.
ST. PAUL, Nov. 70. The magnificent
business houses of Griggs, Cooper & Co.,
wholesale grocers, and Farweil, Ozmun,
Kirk & Co., wholesale hardware, were
gutted by fire yesterday morning. The
total loss will reach 81 SOC, 900. The flames
were first discovered about IL O'Clock in
the upper floors of Griggs, Cooper & Co.'s
building, and when the firemen arrived
the fourth and fifth floors were all ablaze,
the flames lighting up the whole section
of the city. The work of the department
had little appreciable effect on the flames,
which spread from floor to floor, until by
2 O'Clock the whole building was mass
of flames. About this time flames began
to emerge from the Farwell, Ozmun, Kirk
& Co., building, and in short time the
whole block was in possession of the
flames.
Estimates of the Losses.
1t was 9:3G a. m before the flames were
entirely under control. A careful esti-
mate of the losses is as follows: Griggs,
Cooper & Co. on stock, $3.50, 600. on
building $500, 900; Farwell, Ozmun, Kirk
& Co., on stock s4CO, 600, building $780,
600. Insurance on Griggs, Cooper & Co. IS
stock equal TO loss; on Farwell, Ozmun,
Kirk s, Co., $3.50, 900: buildings fully in
sured. Loss on Karl Simmons drug
store. 5000: insurance, 5000. Ice
formed all over the clothing and gum
coats and pants of the firemen, who had
to be frequently relieved to give them an
opportunity to knock the huge chunks OF
congealed water from their legs and
boots.
