Don Cameron Bought Silver.

WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. Ex-senator
Vest created a sensation before the silver
pool investigating committee of the house
yesterday by stating that Don Cameron
had informed him that he had bought
and sold silver. Cameron did not tell him
how much he had bought or sold, but he
had not made any secret of it. believing
that it was as legitimate as the buying
and selling of corn or wheat or any other
commodity. Cameron had said that it in
no way affected his vote, although he had
voted for free coinage, for the purchase
was made after the vote on the silver bin
in the senate. Cameron had further ex-
planned to Senator Vest that the matter
had been managed by David T. Littler, of
Springfield Ills.

WASHINGTON CRY, Jan. 22.-The house
Democrats yesterday continued their tao
Tics OF obstruction, beginning with the
journal, the approval of which Mills
wanted to debate. At the same time
Bland wanted to have motion adopted
to take up the senate free coinage bill,
and said he would keep up the agitation
until March 4 next. Rogers called Reed a
revolutionist, and other Democrats ex-
pressed their opinion of the speaker He
derson of Illinois took exception to the
persistent insults which were leveled at
Reed, and said that herea fter the words
would be taken down.
Reed Makes a Statement.
The speaker then said: "The chair de-
sires to say to the house that one reason
why he expects in due time that his ser
vices will be appreciated is because of
the vlrulent attacks that have been made
upon him, the personal nature and char.
acter of which this house understand

Republicans were in charge and would
pass all bills necessary TO protect citizens
in their rights, and the Republicans ap
plauded. His statements were echoed by
Mckinley, who said the majority would
stay until noon of March if necessary.
He also said that every criticism and in
suit heaped upon the speaker was also an
insult to the majority, which Endorsed all
his rulings. Dilatory tactics finally re-
suited in an adjournment without final

Russia's Favor Is Very Mutabie.

asked to demonstrate with Russia against
the harsh treatment of the German set
tiers in Russian Poland. The settlers
were induced by the Russians to come to
Poland and take up lands from which the
Poles had been expelled. The German
colonies have become very prosperous, the
Berlin company at Doubno owning a rail-
road. Now that the relations of Germany
and Russia are changed Russia has dis
covered that the Germans are dangerous
and threatens to drive them out of the
empire.

THE SITUATION SUMMARIZED.
Republicans Need "a Gear in the Chair
of the Senate.

-Nceu II tl3f III the Sbatr
of the Senate.
WASHINGTON CITY. Jan. 22-The game
of cross-purpose being played in the senate
is in such state that a prediction as to
the final outcome would amount to moth.
ing more than mere conjecture. The
Democrats have entered upon policy OF
delay that can only he Offset by some
flank movement on the part OF the Re.
puoiicans, backed by a ruling favorable to
the majority party by the vice president.
The Republicans are playing a waiting
game. They think that protracted SEES.
sions may tire the Democrats to such a
degree that little resistance will be of
fered to some motion that will lead up to
the approval of the journal and the con-
sequent resumption of unfinished bust
ness-the consideration OF the cloture
rule.
The Only Way Out of the Woods.
But the Democrats are determined not
to be tired out. Morgan, Gray, and Kenna
have been selected as the next speakers
and they are men of wonderful physical
endurance. There is apparently but small
chance for the Republicans to carry out
successfully their plan. A thorough dis
cussiOn of the situation has taken place
among Republican leaders, resulting in
the general agreement that Morton holds
the key to the situation. But the main
difficulty is for Morton to find an oppor-
tunity to make use of the key This he
cannot do, it is said without making some
radical ruling; and it remains to be seen
whether he will exercise his power as the
presiding officer OF the senate to bring
about a change in the present condition of
affairs

or $4,000.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,
PITTsFIELD, MASS, Jan. 3.-A great
sensation was created in Stockbridge when
1t was learned that c. H. Willis, Treasurer
of the Stockbridge Savings Bank, is de-
faulter to an amount running from so, 900
to S25, 900. Willis has been Treasurer of
the bank for several years About a month
ago Bank Examiner Chaplin looked over its
affairs and found notes that could be realized
on. One especially of $40, 900, in, favor of
the Glendale Woolen Mill Company, the
money on which was obtained by II. J.
Durham, trustee of the mill. Mr.. Chaplin
therefore placed an injunction on the bank,
on which there will be hearing on Mon
day.
1t was ascertained that Willis had not
posted up his books tor some years. He
acknowledged that he had taken the above
amount from the bank, but it is not known
how long he has been pilfering. Willis is a
native of Stockbridge, ana is about 80 years
old. He owns a small place in town. but
his property is not sufficient TO cover the
loss. However, his bondsmen are good for
the amount Matters are so complicated
that it is impossible to learn what the out
come will be. The depositors are so much
excited that as soon as the bank opens for
business there may be run upon 1t.

A NEW FUEL GAS
THAT Is CLAIMED TO BE CHEAPER THAN
THE NATURAL ARTICLE.
1t Can be Used for Pudding Furnaces and
Shows Some Surprising Results in the
Tests Made-Cast Iron Melted in Thirty
Seconds by 1t.



SARATOGA, Jan. 3.-The Acme Liquid
Fuel Company, whose works are located
here, are experimenting with the gas made
by them in the effort to obtain gas that is
not only cleaner and less expensive than
natural gas, but that can be used for melting
iron and for pudding furnaces. The fur
mace with which these experiments are being
made is built OF brick, with nine-inch walls.
II is u feet long and 8 feet and inches
wide, the whole being securely girded with
iron bands and braces. In the interior and
directly In the center is the bed, or hearth,
of the furnace, in size 2 by feet. AteIther
side of this hearth are air passages going
down into the ground and supplied with
fresh air from a Siemens valve, which is
back of the furnace, and by means of which
the operator in charge can increase or dimin-
ish the quantity OF air which enters the fur
mace.
In the interior of the valve is "butter-
fy," resembling a damper in a stovepipe.
By turning this the air comes in at the top
and into the furnace, and can be made to
drive the flames of gas to right and left over
the iron placed in the furnace to be heated.
The air thus entering supplies the proper
amount of oxygen, and is heated to about
10000 before it comes in contact with the
gas, the proportion consumed being about
10 feet of air to one foot of gas per minute,
the greatest capacity with natural gas fur
naces being about nine feet of air per
minute.
A test of this furnace has just been made
in the presence of Mr.. Andrews, of New
York, who is President of the company, and
several experts from New York and Phila-
delphIa. The fire was easily brought to a
heat of $4,000. A bar of wrought iron, II
by 13 inches, was placed in the fire, and in
Is minutes it was brought to a beautiful
white heat, SO that it began to drip at the
sides and end. In exactly 1 minute and 80
seconds this melted and ran out upon the
floor. Large pieces of iron were also tested
with equally surprising results.

methods; but have discarded all and chung to
