Fl Helped DON OUT.
His Speculatlons Kept Back Until He Was
Safely Elected.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3O.-Dockery read
prepared statement efore the silver pool
committee giving more in detail the facts
testified to by him Wednesday. He said he
was anxious to beat the force bill. 1t was
not known that if Cameron WAS reelected
he would vote for it, but his attitude of un-
certainty led Dockery to the hope that he
would vote against it. He (Dockerg) did
not wish just before the election in Penn
syiyania to make public any private busi
ness transaction of the senator which might
be legitimate and proper. but which, before
he could show it to be such, could be used
by political enemies to his
detriment. Dockery had informa-
tion that Cameron had purchased
silver, but no knowledge that he was con-
nected with any pool. nor of any improprI-
ETY. in 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 his political opponents to
his injury before he could have an oppor-
tunity to explain the facts. There was no
agreement or understanding between Cam
eron and himself, or any other person, that
his (Dockery's) testimony should be de-
layed. He acted on his own judgment, in
duced solely by the reasons stated above.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 50.-The effect of the
death of Secretary Window was clearly WIS.,
ible i'll all the departments of the govern
ment this morning While the treasury de-
partment was the only building acAlally
closed, business was practically suspended
in the others. The president is very deeply
grieved over the loss of his friend and this
morning gave instructions that he could SOC
no one on business to-day. General Spald-
ing, who is acting as secretary of the treas
ury, ordered the department closed for the
day. The flags on all the executive depart
ments were placed at half mast and the
treasury department. is draped in mourn
ing, Everywhere throughout the city
flags are flying at half-mast, and seemingly
the only topic of conversation is the sudden
and lamentable death of Secretary Window.
On every hand, too, are heard expressions
of warm admiration of the strong and Iowa
BILE character of the man and OF deep and
unfeigned regret at his death. From an
early hour this morning there has been
constant stream of carriages arriving ut the
family residence on Massachusetts avenue,
bearing friends who called to manifest their
love and sympathy for the stricken family.
Among the callers was very large number

the dead man best could not as they left the
house restrain their tears. Mrs. Window
and her two daughters are bearing their
grief with great fortitude. Miss Hatch one
of Mrs. Windom's sisters, and member
of the household Mrs. j. Stanley Brown,
daughter of President Garfield, and Miss

during the greater part of last night and
are with them to-day. The only son, VIM.

although kilograms have been sent to oil
points whore they could in any likelihood
reach him, no response has as yet been re-
ceived. 1t is thought probable he will re-

morrow night. Mrs. Windom's other sis-

Discussing Windom's Successor.

WAsHINaroN, Jan. 30.-Secretary Win
dom's death is looked upon by silver men
here as rendering the passage of any silver
bill this session unlikely. A majority of
the tinanciers are of opinion that Mr.. Win
dom's successor would undoubtedly be a
man who would carry out the policy of the
dead secretary, which, it was believed, was
in all respects in acco rd with the ideas of
the president. There is much discussion
as to his probable successor, but the ouly
names 80 far mentioned are those of SEN
ators Allison and Spooner.

DISASTROUS EARTHQUAKE.

A dispatch from San Salvador,
under date of September 8, has the
following account of great earth
quake which occurred there on that
date:
Millions of dollars worth OF prop
erty and many lives were lost in
this republic by an earthquake to-
day. Whole towns were wiped
out, and as far as the advices re-
celved indicate, hardly city in the
country, except those along the
coast, escaped the effects of the
convulsion.
There had been indications for
several days past that q seismic
disturbance of more than usual
power might be expected. The
volcanoes of San Salvador, San Mig
uel and IZalco had been unuasally
active.
At 1:55 o'clock this morning the
earth began to shake. The wave
had a strong vertical and oscilla-
tory movement. The people rushed
into the streets in their night
clothing, and, while the shock
lasted only twenty seconds, before
1t passed away there was panic
stricken mob making their way to
the open country outside of the
city. Men, women and children
were shrleking and praying in the
streets.
The walls of the houses cracked,
tottered and fell. There was a deep
continuous rumbling as of heavy
thunder. The earth rose and fell
in long waves, and the people were
unable to keep their feet. All
through the morning there had
been slight shocks, but none APP
preaching in intensity that which
was SO destructive.
President Ezeta is doing every
thing he can to stop the panic and
care for the homeless people until
it Is considered safe for them to 90
back to their homes. The towns
throughout the country suffered
more severely than the capital.
Analquito and Comasagua were
completely destroyed. Cojutapeque,
Santa Tecla, San Pedro and Masa-
husa are So badly shaken that they
are practically ruined, while the
shock was plainly telt and con-
siderable damage was done at
Santa Ana and other points fully
sixty miles from here. 1t is inn
possible at this writing to form any
idea as to the number of lives lost.
Two people were killed here. It is
