Mr.. Morgan. Mr.. Cromwell did not re-
ply.
A letter written at New York Decem-
ber ., 1885, and signed by Cromwell, ad-
dressed TO Secretary Hay, was then read
by Mr. Morgan Cromwell was asked If
he remembered having written the let

back the witness. Your mental facUl-

Turning to the chair the Senator said
that he did not believe the statement
then made by the witness to be the
truth Mr.. Cromwell however, con
tinued 20 refrain from answering ques-
tious regarding the letter written 10 Sec
retary Hay, or to say whether the state
meEts made in that communication were
the facts as he saw them.
He asked Mr. Cromwell If he knew
of the uprising in Colombia at that time.
from whom he got his information re-
garding the conditions at Bogota. and
IN other ways tried TO elicit from the
witness whether he was connected with

Democrats Say They viii Correct.

This question OF revising the House
rules has taken a new interest recently
because the Democrats have so often
insisted that when they came into power
they would give back TO the House its
old prerogative as a truly deliberate
body.
Nevertheless, Republican organiza-
tion members believe it is entirely un-
likely that any substantial change in
the rule will ever be adopted They
urge particularly that under the rule Of
Speaker Cannon The rule has been made
much less onerous and tyrannical than
they were under either Read or Hen
deTson.

uninterrupted explanation of the work
ings of the monetary agreement he
formulated between the United States

ter of an hour for Senator Morgan to

Senator Taliaferro. who was question
ing the witness when the committee ad-
lourned yesterday said;
Thinking Overnight
Mr.. Cromwell had a statement 10 sub
nit. The witness said ne had made some
mental observations OF the question dur
ing the recess since yesterday. He also
informed the chairman of the commit
tee that there were some errors in the
record Of the proceedings Of yesterday
WHICH he desired tC correct and would
ask to be allawed TO make those correc-
tlons at the proper time.
Beginning his statement the witness
said:
The Panama silver peso is the equiva-
lent of 80 cents American currency
Provision A Of the agreement stipulates
tAat all the silver necessary be furnish
ed to the canal authorities OF the rail-
road company at a fat rate. The money
IS furnished directly to these Of
Hcers without premium or commission.
Paragraph b provides for the trans
mission of money under certain coudt-
Iions at small rate Of premium-oAe-
hali OF 1 per cent. The provision is
seldom, If ever, iuf0rced."

instances ne submitted statistics show

: the claims have been under active development for more than sixty I
! days. The results obtained in this short period justify the prediction /
! of eminent mining men that the Round Mountain district will soon !
I make a record surprising that of the older camps. !
I After a personal examination of the district, W e do not hesitate !
I to say that the Round Mountain Red Top Mining Company owns some !
I of the best ground in the district. The Red Top property possesses all !
! the requisites for success-large acreage, fine surface lodges, large !
I bodies of fire. milling ore already uncovered, and veins of shipping /

DIRECTORATE OF THE ROUND MOUNTAIN RED TOP MINING !
COMPANY I
The affairs of the company ire in the hands of practically the !
same group of successful mining operators who developed the famous !
Goldfeld Red Top property into one of the greatest mines of Nevada !
that yielded many hundreds of thousands of dollars to early investors !
in it's stock. This in itself Isl virtual guarantee that the Round Moun- :
tain Red Top property will be developed in an aggressive and miner I
like fashion and that the affairs of the company will be handled in the I
most economical manner consistent with good management. !
The following comprise the directorate of the company: !
GURNEY GORDON President !

Companies, Goldfeld, New. !
JOHN REYNOLDS Director !

Considering the location of the property, the large bodies of free !
milling r. already exposed, the high grade veins that have been n !
countered and the contiguity of the companvs claims to other ground I
of proven value practically insuring the sam ore bodies)-we can !
safely say that in all our experience in selling Nevada mining stocks, !
dating from the first discovery of gold in Tonopah, we have never 7
( cen a better value offered in the treasury stock of any company. 7
I 1t was the intention and desire of the company to offer this stock I
I at so cents per share, and it was only by dint of the hardest effort on 7
+ our part that we induced the company, in view of the present low I
+ prices that prevail for all mining stocks, to put the first allotment of I
+ 100000 shares out at Is cents. Sixty days hence, We could not have 7

Pendleton paper.
Rugg Bros, the we'll known sheep
men, have just finished shearing 1890
mutton sheep, which will be shipped
out to Seattle markets at the rate of
three cars per week. The sheep have
not suffered with the cold, although
clipped in the middle of winter and
are gaining in flesh every day. In any
other of the northwest states this per-
formance would ordinarily result in
great loss on account of the severe
winter weather, but in Umatilla coun-
ty it is safe procedure, accom-
panied with little if any danger of
loss. The entire herd of 1900 head
will average 100 pounds per head and
are in excellent condition. The wool
has not been weighed yet aud the
average weight of the feeces has
not been ascertained but it is known
that the sheep sheared well, since
they were large and strong and in
good condition.
