IN THE llol'SE.
McKiulev. from the committee
on rules, reported a resolution pro
viding ttiat tomorrow the house
shall meet at 1U a. m, and shall
immediately proceed to the con
sitleration of the shipping bill, the
general debate to close atdo clock
rriday the housi shall meet at 10
o clock and proceed to the consid
eraiion oi tne lull hy paiiigra.'iti,
tlie previous (mention to be consid
ered as ordered at 5 o'clock.
The resolution was adopted :
yeas LJlt, nays 111.
I lie report ot the silver pool in
vestigating commitiee made to the
house to-night is unanimous. It
reviews the testimony briefly.
Owenoy is alluded to as a "Ro
mancer, whose imagination is not
restrained by the limitations of
truth." Sena'or Cameron's silver
purchase" is referred to as having
been niiide and the silver sold be
fore the bill passed. Representa
tive Taylor bought, after the bill
became a law, and when no addi
tional legislation was looked for.
The report says it is but just to
say that the statement made by
Congressman Conger in a debate
in the house June 24 Ui last, to t.ie
euect that he had "been ap
proached to join the silver pools''
furnished some excuse for the
publication of the general allega
tion that the silver pool existed
pending the legislation, but none
for the charge that certain sena
tors and representatives accepted
such invitation. Mr. Conger, who
is now United States minister to
Brazil, was asked by cable to give
the committee the names of the
persons who approached him. but
declined to do so. The committee
says that the fact tha. exaggerated
expressions are sometimes used in
the heart of a debate may furnish
xcuses lor such stones, and
aflords additional reason for care
ful avoidance in debate of an ioti-
nation that a corrupt influence is
being brought to bear upon mem
birs to influence legislation, unless
ttie members making such iiismu
ation is prepared to substantiate
the charge. I he committee has
been unable to obtain anv evi
dence to Fiipport the Owen by
charges. There were inanv spec
ulator buying silver individually
and probably, in soiiik cases, in
coinprny, but there is no evidence
that there was any pool or com
bination of such speculators work
ing to this end, or that any sena
tor or representative was con
nected with such iooI.
The only organized or combined
effort to induce silver legislation
disclosed by the evidence was a
public organization known as the
silver commission appointed bv
the St. Loui silver convention,
and which has had headquarters
in Washington the past vear. This
commission, according to the testi
mony ol r rancid Aew land, one of
its members, had printed and dis
tributed pan phlets and circulars,
published articles in newspapers
and maintained Agent Sinn field to
visit, organizations, particularly
the Farmers' Alliance, in various
parts ot the cou-itrv for the pur
pose oi working up an I securing
an expression of public sentiment
in favor of the free coinage of sil
ver at a ratio of sixteen to one of
gold. This has been done at an
expense of not less than ten or
more than fifteen thousand dollars
during the past year, which ex
pense has been met by voluntary
contributions of owuers of silver
mines and bullion and others
favoring such legislation. There
was no evidence, and the com
mittee has no reason to believe
that this commission, which
Owenby described as tne "Head
of the silver pool," had any con
nection w ith silver speculations or
expended any money otherwise
than tor the purpose above stated.
The organizations designated are
10 lnuuence pu hue opinion ana to
secure legislation. There is no
evidence that any .pool, combina-
lon, syndicate or individual siiee-
ulator furnished money to enable
members of comrress to invest in
silver, or that anv senator or
representative was interested in
any silver pool or syndicate, as
charged bv Owenbv. nor anv evi
dence that anv senator, represen-

Olymiia, Feb. 25. The Met
calfe bribery investigation com
mittee, which was appointed over
a month ago to investigate the
charge of bribery against Harry
A. Clarke, to-day submitted a
unanimous report, finding that
Clarke had given Metcalfe $500 to
vote for W. II . Calkins for United
States senator, and that Metcalfe
had solicited the bribe, but had
turned the money over to the
speaker; that Hon. W. II. Calkins
was not in any way, direelly or in
directly, implicated in the brib
ery, and that Metcalfe deserved at
least the censure of the legislature
for hie conduct. The report was
accepted, and thereupon Repre
sentative McClure introduced a
resolution to expel Metcalfe from
the legislature. The resolution
created an animated discussion.'
Metcalfe explained at some
length his participation in the
bribery alfair, asserting that he
had secured the bribe simply and
purely to expose the bribery, and
lor no other reason. Parts of the
testimony was read, and when it
was finished the time for adjourn
ment had arrived, eo the house
adjourned without action. The
teeling against Metcalfe is strong,
but it is not probable it will result
in expulsion.
1 he t-achs investigation, wiiica
begun last night, was continued
to-night by a joint convention of
the legislature.
