Owenby Arrested for Obtainine Money
Under False Pretenses.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.--James A. Owen-
by, witness before the silver pool com
mittee, was arrested today as soon az re-
leased from the order Of the house. on 4
warrant charging him with obtaining
money under false pretenses, in having
had cashed check for $17, which was
returned by Donald, of the. Hanover
National bank, after the passage of the
silver law, with his refusal to honor
it. Owenby told the officer that he had
informed the man who cashed the check
that he would pay him as soon as he
received his witness fees, and offered to
60 with the officer and discharge the
obligation, but the warrant having been
issued, the officer told Owenby he must
60 to court.
Owenby was released by the silver pool
investigating committee this morning.
David 7. Littler was recalled. He did
not remember having stated to Owenby
that any senators and representatives
were interested in silver and did not think
that he ever had, forit would not have
been true, except as to Cameron. Lit
tier declared that he knew nothing in
addition to what he had stated when on
the stand before, and that he had never
heard any congi essnan say he was in
terested in silver.
Charles S. Bradley, cashier of the
National Bank of the Republic of this

Banker st. John and f. G.. Newlands
Speak For The White Metal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-When the
house coinage committee met this morn
ing, Representative Carter read COM
munication from William Z. st. John,
the New York banker. arguing in favor
of the senate silver bill, and ridiculing
the predictions of dire disaster made BY
the opponents of the bill, if it should
be enacted. Francis G.. Newlands de-
clared that Germany would never have
succeeded In demonetizing silver with
out the cooperation of one of the
strongest nations on earth-the
United States. Bismarck himself bad
since pronounced the movement a
mistake, but in that movement
Germany had found as it's assistant, not
a European nation, but the United
States-a nation struggling toward spe-
Gle payment. When the Bland act had
passed, the bankers predicted that all
our gold wouias leave the country; YET in
1880, after the passage Of that act, the
gold circulation was $268,0O0, 900, as
against $106,000000 in 1870. Predic-
tions of disaster had been made during
ten years following; yet in 1890, after
the passage of the present act, the gold
circulation had to 1886 6,000, 900.
AS it was nearing the hour OF adjourn
ment, Bartine moved that when the
committee adjourn today it be to meet
tomorrow at 1890. After somewhat
testy debate, the motion carried on a
viva yOce vote.
