WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. 23-Grosve-
nor introduced in the house yesterday a
resolution providing that it shall be in or
der, whenever the committee of the whole
house rises from the consideration of an
appropriation bill, for the member in
charge of the bill to move that the com
mittee be discharged from further consid-
Grafton of the bill, and that the bill shall
then be read third time and put upon its
final passage. The motion is to be de.
cided without debate, and if carried the
bill and pending amendments shall be
acted upon by the house as if the previous
question had been ordered on the bill to
its passage

That Silver Pool Investigation.

WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. 23-Before the
committee investigating the alleged silver
pool yesterday, Senator Stewart made a
statement TO the effect that he knew of no
such pool-at any rate he had nothing to
so with it. f \. Hill, a newspaper writer
said that one Heidelberg had showed him
n April last some slips of paper which
Hedenburg said were silver pool certifi-
cates Hill did not examine the slips, and
knew othing of the pool. Another wit
ness swore that Hedenburg told him there
was a silver pool. but no names were
given. Senators Teller and Wolcott bot b
liscla!rned any knowledge of the poo.

for ingalls,.
SPRINGFIELD. his, Jan. % There was
another ballot taken in joint legs ative
session for United States senator yester
day with the same result as those pre-
viously taken. The Democrats wanted 10
take another but the Alliance men voted
with the Republicans and adjourned the
session The Republicans cheered enthus-
iastically. but the incident probably
amounts to nothing as indicating in any
way the intentions of the Alliance men
They simply said that at this stage of the
fight one ballot day is enough, and their
policy is to take that ballot and go on
with the legislative work.
Naming of the Committee.
There is a curious situation in the mat
ter of naming the house and senate COM
mittees. In the house the Republicans
want them named and so do the Alliance
men. In the senate it Is the Democrats
who are in a hurry. OF course there is a
political reason, each party thinks the
naming of the committees will hurt the
party doing the naming as to the sena-
torIal fight. Cockrell offered in the
house a resolution calling upon Speaker
Craft to announce the list OF committees
He waited until after the joint session was
adjourned to introduce it, but before he
could get on his feet after the senators
had zone back to their own chamber
somebody introduced motion to adjourn
which was carried with whirlwind of
ayes OF course the noes" were not
noticed. Cockrell will try again and the
Republicans will help him
Other Matters of Interest
Coclrell raised row in the house yes
terday by resolution to appoint another
bill clerk, as he holds that the force is not
now sufficient. There was a hot debate in
which economy" was a frequent word, but
the motion was lost
The Taubeneck inquiry is completed
and the report will be made up in a day or
two. The ~nigger in the woodpiler in this
matter is that the Democrats are charged
with responsibility for spreading the
charges against Taubeneck
The investigation into the alleged abuses
at the Anna Insane asylum is causing
some friction. There is decided feeling
on both sides that it will develop nothing.

AsHISGToN CRY. Jan. 3 -There was
quite luil in the house yesterday Mills
TOOK no part in the discussion and the
general opinion was that he had learned
that his excitable outbursts of the past
two or three days had not advanced him
toward the speakership of the next con-
gress- McMiilin wanted ten days debate
on the District bill, and said that all his
SIDE asked was fair play. His desires vera
advocated also by Springer and others.
The Speaker Talks a While.
The speaker then made a statement of
his position The debate, he said, while
nominally upon the approval OF the jour
Nal, had in reality been upon the propriety
of certain rulings. He did not think the
frequent chickering's Of the past few days
added 10 the dignity of the house The
business OF legislative body was TO legis-
late and not TO permit its legislation to be
wantonly interrupted even by motions Or
dinariiy proper. He sincerely hoped there
would be no further personal matters con-
nected with it.
Business Reached at Last.
McMillin reminded the speaker that I'M
1er the rules his motion was one which
could not be made more than once The
speaker replied that the scenes OF disorder
" ednesday were sufficient To satisfy every

The oldest insect in existence-soo odd

cred a hoax-is the aweto. 1t is not
easy to decide whether il ought to be
claSsed under the fauna or fora of New
Zealand, for 1t is as much vegetable as
animal, and, in final stage, it is a Vege-
table, and nothing else. This is the
vegetable caterpillar, called by natural
lists Htptd Is J.r,SceHs. IL is perfect eat
erpillar, and fine one also, growing to
three and a half inches. Until it is full
grown it conducts itself very much like
any other insect, except that il is never
found anywhere but in the neighbor-
hood Of the rata tree, large scarlet
fiowercd myrtle, and that it habitually
buries itself few inches underground
Then, when the aweto is fully grown, it
, undergoes a wonderful change. For
