he would call tomorrow for the on

from Kentucky. Saunders was told by Speaker
Beckham that he was out of order. On this
ruling Representative Charles Nelson of Hardin
county arose. and. in q heated speech, moved
that the resolution be now called from the COM
mittee. He said it was not a personal matter
but that silver Democrats owed it to themselves
to thus rebuke and show their contempt for tho
action Of Senator Lindsay In turning his back on
the people who had honored him.
Emmett Orr Owen seconded the motion in O
short, fiery speech. calling on Democrats to
come out from hiding and do their duty"

Committee In u Qunndary.
COLUMBUS, o., Jan. l9.-Thc Senatorial
bribery investigation ended in another fiasco
and n crisis has been reached in the affairs OF
the committee. The Senate chamber, where
the sessions are held with open doors. was
crowded with political leaders from all parts of
the State. At the session tonight some of the
ablest lawyers were present, but taking no part
in the deliberations of the committee.
The list of witnesses was increased by the ad-
dilion of the Hon. 5. ID. Hollenbeck, member OF
the Republican State Executive Committee,
who was asked several pointed questions, all OF
which, by the advice OF his counsel. he refused
to answer. He was asked II his son was not now
In Washington with Senator Hanna to evade
the service of summons, and il his son had not

MIR. Hollenbeck was then allowed TO return to
his home on account OF his serious Illness.
The other witnesses were tho same as on the
previous night. Both managers OF the two tele-
graph lines and the manager of tho telephone
company made positive destinations to testify,
denying the authority of the committed in the
premises. All the witnesses we're ordered to
return tomorrow night. Public interest in the
investigation has reached an intense stage. The
committee thus far has been utterly baked by
the stand taken by the witnesses whose lawyers
are known AS being at the head OF the Ohio bar.
Furthermore, they have the advantage OF con
sultation with other eminent legal lights who
do not appear on the surface. The committed
went into executive session after the adjourn

THE COST OF AMMUNITION.
The Memphis Appeal has the
following estimate of what it will
cost US to so to war with Spain.
If no men were lost, if no ships
were destroyed, or even damag-
ed, it would cost S2,000,000 or
So, ,000,000 for ammunition alone
to fight first-class battle with
modern arms and projecUiles and
a large part Of the S50,0O0,000
appropriated will go for powder
and shot. An ordinary allowance
of ammunition for one Of the big
guns costs about as much as the
gun itself, and any one can real
ize that we will need an enor-
imous amount Of powder before
our navy goes to war, for it takes
nearly hall ton every time one
of the big thirteen-inch guns is
fired. There were 150 tons of
powder on the Maine when she
went down, and her magazines
were only half filled. Tho big
battloships and the first-rate
cruisers should never go into
action without a supply Of from
500 to 800 tons, or, say an aver
age Of 100. There are eleven Of
these battleships, which together
require 7,790 tons. Then there
/ are sixteen socond-rate ships
which ought to have 500 tons
each in their magazines, or a
total Of 5000 tons; forty-two
third-rate ships which should
haze at least 900 tons each, or a
total Of 1900 tons, and seven
fourth-rato ships which should
have 200 tons each, or IL total Of
1,400 tons. Without counting
the torpedo boats, It requires
about 10000 tons of powder to
fill the magazines Of our navy
before it should be safe to send
the ships action.

Crockett. That is, perhaps, all
hey know Of a man who was
once a power in the land. II
may be worth their while to see
what qualities gave a man power
in those early days.
Dayy Crockett, a hundred
years ago, was the 10-year- old
son Of a poor Irish omigrant in
the Western wilderness. He
earned his own living by driving
a wagon and by hunting, and
even then was known in tie
settlement as a boy who would
not cheat an Indian Of VOLTS

a panther at long range with one
shot. Whatever Davy did, he
did through and through in
The words of his noighbors.
AS soon as the young man had
enough money to buy two COWS
and a horse, he married and took
up land in the widest part Of
Tennessee. j" His honesty and
reckless courage soon made him
the foremost man in the noun
tains. He was elected to the
State Legislature although he
could barely write his name.
But Crockett hdnted knowledge
as'persistently as he had hunted
panthers; he studied books By
night and men by day. He was
also a shrewd business man, anc
started powder mills, which bro
him in large income. Defea
followed success. The powder
mills blew up, he lost office anC
was left penniloss. He lived by
hunting for year or two anc
was then elected to Congress.
On the day when he took hi
seat a'question of finance involv
ing foreign relations was befor,

listened eagerly.
''I don't understand a wor,

A day or two later the lumbe
