was brought out were peculiar, and that
you regretted the time at which it was
brought out"
Dingley and Payne interrupted to say
that while they may have said some-
thing OF that sort, they had no purpose, :.
except to get all the information az,
promptly as possible.
Dockery said, with regard to the
alleged desire to delay Vests testimony.
ne would make no concealment now,
that he did not want to bring out
the testimony concerning Senator
Cameron, until Wednesday. Dur
ing the time the resolution was pend
ing before the committee, he (Dockery)
formed the belief that there were par
ties who might desire to use that testi-
mony in respect to another bill. He
was informed by senator that another
gentleman had suggested it would be
well to let the resolution drop. The
senator replied that he could not afford
to do that. The gentleman responded
that he did not care about himself, but
he understood that some of "the bovs'''
had bought silver, and the impression
the senator got was that they were nery-
GUS and wanted things stopped. When
asked who "the boys" were, the gentle
man named two representatives.
the conversation was given to me, y
said Dockery, "and thereupon I pushed
the resolution. Now will state frankly
why wished the testimony delayed. +
believed Influences were being brought
to bear on senator said to be connected
with silver speculation, to make him
vote for the force bill, and SO + wanted
the investigation delayed in the hope
OF getting one more vote. It was just as
straw which proved very substantial,
and | want it distinctly understood that
had no assurance whatever, and
merely went on the rumor that his vote
on the force bill was doubtful. No. sir,
| did not think that exposure at that
time would enhance his prospects,"

that Sitting Bull and the other chiefs

Indians left without leaders, there il
no danger of further outbreak on the

went to Washington are not dangerous

not disarmed, for the reason that it
would have been an injustice to have
treated them as hostiles. With the hos

THE SILVER POOL COMMITTEES
TENDER SYMPATHY.
Had They Known that Don Cameron Was
Bold Bad speculator They Would Not
Have Pushed the Investigation.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.-General Boyn-
ton testified in the silver pool investi-
cation today, that he sent message to
Dunnell, of the New York Times, on
which dispatch was based the state
ment that Dingley and Payne, members
of the committee, had said they would
not have gone into the investigation if
they had supposed such revelation re-
garding Senator Cameron would be
made. The gentleman who informed
him (Boynton) had been in room and
heard conversation between Dingley
and Payne. Each was explaining, ap-
parently, that he had no knowledge or
expectation that such testimony was to
come out. expressing surprise at the
testimony, and practically apologizing
to each other that 1t had come out in
the investigation.
that he might have said he regretted ex-
ceedingly that any congressman should
have done any act which made It neces-
sary that such facts should be brought
out. but that was very different from the
statement that the committee would
have kept the testimony out or purposlv
delayed it. This was totally untrue.
General Boynton said that before the
investigation, Stevens, correspondent of
the Globe-D Democrat, received message
that it was the desire of the committee
that he (Stevens), should either be late
next day or pr0long his testimony. The
purpose of the committse was to adjourn
Immediately after the conclusion of his
testimony; until the next Wednesday, as
it was understood that Vest would not
give the testimony in reference to Cam
eron until after the following Tuesday.
Witness had heard the same thing be-
fore, and taking all this together, he
thought the conclusions reached we're
very reasonable.
Boynton suggested that good deal of
information might be gotten out of Mr..
Tanner and Representative Taylor; also
from kilograms sent by Littler, Tanner
and others.
w. B. Stevens, the Giobe-D Democrat
correspondent, was recalled, and said he
was the person who gave General Boyn-
ton bis information in respect to the
Dingley-P Payne conversation. Turning
to Dingley he said: "You began talk
ing in whisper, became more earnest,
raised your voice and were talking loud
" before you got through. I heard
Dingley say something to this effect: 1t
was an entire surprise to me (meaning
Vests testimony did not know he
was going to testify to any such thing as
that. You (turning to Payne) said i

!or an eight-hour day, to take place next
May, waa taken up, and it was resolved
to levy an assessment Of two cents 9
week per capita for five weeks on the
members OF all the unions connected
with the federation. It is said there are
favorable prospects that the demand for
the eight-hour system will be granted
without any strikes, as employers and
employees are holding conferences all
the time with good results. The COM
mittee which recently went to conven-
tion of bricklayers at Toronto, to ask the
Bricklayers' National union to join the
federation, reported that the bricklayers
had decided to refer the matter to the
individual unions. The chances are,
they reported, that they would join after
awhile.
