Washington, D. C, Dec a.ist, iSgi.
Scaker Crisp has been ill with the
grip but he is so busy making the com
mittee J'ssignmenls that he says he
cannot enjoy trij luxury of taking to
his bed until the troublesome business
is settleJ, and he expects that it will
be settled on Wednesday, when Con
gress will take a recess until the 5th
of January The selection of North
ern men for the chairmanships of both
the Ways and Means and Appropri
ation committees, it being about set
tied that Mr. Springer, of Illinois, will
have the first, and Mr, Holman, of In
diana the last, has made some dissatis
faction, the argument being made that
one section should not have both. But
Mr. Crisp's friends reply by citing the
fact that the South has all three of the
democratic members of the committee
on Rules Crisp, McMillin, and Catch
ings which, they say aDout equally
divides the power, so far as the control
of legislation is concerned.
Representative Mills, who has been
c;uite ill, is now convalescent. In re
ply to a note from Speaker Crisp ten-
tiering him the second place on the
committee of Ways and Means and
asking which committee Commerce
or Postofiiccs he preferred takingthe
chairmanship of, Mr. Mills wrote 'ask
ing not to be sssigned to the Ways and
Means committee and expressing a
willingness to accept such other com
mittee assignments as may be made
for him. The committee on Com
merce has been changed to the com
mittee on Interstate and Foreign Com-'
merce, and it is thought Mr. Mills v.i'.l
be its chairman.
The House Committee on Rules re
ported in favor of increasing the mem
bership of the Ways and Means com
mittee from 13 to 15 and of the quad
ro - centennial from 9 to it. After
accepting this report, the House, on
motion of Mr. Springer, voted to change
the name of the last committee to that
on the Columbia Exposition. The
new rules will not be reported until
after the recess, but it is not expected
that they will differ very materially
from those used in the Fiftieth Con
gress, when Mr. Carlisle was Speaker
of the House.
Representative Enloe, of Tennessee,
offered a resolution, which was referred
to the Committee on Rules, providing
for the appointment of a committee ot
f.ve to investigate charges against the
Tension Bureau, including tlie notori
ous lerating and promotion cases, of- j
fice-brokerage. which got a son of
Commissioner Raum in trouble; the
favoritism by which claims of certain
attorneys are given preference over
those filed either by individual claim
ants or other attorney0, and '-all other
matters reining to the conduct of thu
Commissioner in the matter or to the
administration of his office which in
the judgment of said committee, m"y
conduce to the honest clean, ju-t,
economical and efficient administration
of said Bureau. T'-.e adoption of this
resolution by the House may be put
down as a certainty.
Many members have gone away for
the holidays as it was agreed that noth
ing would be done at "the session of
the House to be held on Wednesday
except to announce the committee.
The nomination of Stephen 1 Elk
Jns to be Secretary of War and of Na
than Golf to be one of the Circuit
Court Judges indicates that the admin
istration has hopes of securing the
electoral vote of West Virginia next
year; but if th- Senators and Repn
sentatives from that State know any
thing about it, Mr. Harrison is indulg
ing in a bit of '-rainbow chasing."
Representative Culbcrtson of Texas,
changed his mind alter having accent
ed and declined the democratic vacan
cy on the Interstate Commerce com
mission. It is understood that he did
it in deference to the wishes of the
. his Texas friends who want him to
. hi a candidate for the Senate.
The Supreme Court adjourned from
last Friday until January 4th.
Senators Vorhees, and Turpie, will
uo tneir utmost to c'eleat the confirm
ation of the nomination of the notori
ous Judge Wood of Indiana, for the
new Circuit Court, and they are not
wunout nope ot success.
iNotwiii.stanriing the positi-e state
ment ot I .S. Clarkson. Mr. Elkins,
the new nominated Secretary of War,
js regarded here as a much belter
Blaine man than he is a Harrison man
and time will prove that his coimr into
the Cabinet at this time is a part of a
Elaine sc.ieme of some sort, possiby,
uut 1,01 piobably, in Mr. Harrison'
lavor.
