Minor Places at the Disposal of Con gressmen to Be Settled on GEOGRAPHICAL LINES STRICTLY. llr. Hills Once More Males His Appearance in His Old Haunts. SECRETARY FOSTER MUCH IMPROVED "Washington, D. G, Dec. 12. The ses sion of the House to-day was merely a formal one. The Speaker announced the appointment of the following committees: On Accounts Messrs. Husk, of Maryland; Cooper, of Indiana; Dickerson, of Ken tucky; Moes, ol South Carolina; Seerlcy, of Ion a; Pearson, of Ohio; Quackeubush, of Xe York; Griswold, of Pennsylvania, and Cutting, of California. On Mileage Messrs. Castle, of Minnesota; Crawford, of North Carolina; Kendall, of Kentucky; Caldwell, of Ohio, and Flick, of Iowa. An adjournment was then taken uulil Wednet day. Speaker Crisp, after the adjournment of the House, listened for several hours to members who called to express their views on party policy or to state their committee preferences. This makes four davs which the new Speaker has devoted to the task of ascertaining the opinions and wishes of his party colleagues, and he has heard perhaps the greater number of the Democratic mem bers of the House, though some of them in their interviews did not express any indi "vidual preferences. o Chairmanship Yet Promised. Messrs. Springer, McMillin, Hatch and Wilson, of West Virginia, are Representa tives who were regarded as possible Speak ers, and ho have called on Sir. Crisp. The Speaker heard the views of all his callers, but has not reached any definite conclusions, cor has he as yet offered Chairmanships to any persons. He desires to visit his home for a few days, as soon as convenient, but v ill be unable to leave "Washington before the latter part of next week. He taid tnis afternoon that he was afraid he could not complete the organization of the commit tees before the Christmas recess, though fome of his friends think that the work can be done in a few days after he gets started on the actual work. The failure ot the Speaker to announce the Committee on Rules, to-dav, was a dis appointment, for it was generally supposed last night that he woulu settle the matter. It is understood that Mr. Crisp desires to consider the selections more carefully. He has had a list before him that contains a half dozen names ol Democrats and there are onlv two to be appointed on this im portant committee. &ome Ilxnbarrassin Features. Many of the leading Democrats have been tirglnc the Speaker to promptly settle the matter by appointing Messrs. Springer and McMillin on behalf of the majority, and Messrs Reed and Burrows on behall of the minority, but until Mr. Crisp makes up his mind as to who will head the Committee on "Ways and Means and Appropriations, he cannot overcome some embarrassing features of the situation. The matter is in a chaotic state, and prob ably not until Tuesday e ening will Speaker Crisp be able to make up the Rules Com mittee. The opinion is strong, ho'rever, that Mr. McMillin will be one ot the Demo cratic members of this committee, more on account of his knowledge of parliamentary tactics and activity on the floor than with reference to assignment of that gentleman on any other committee. There are from four to ten applicants for each office und -r the control of the House 01 jseprcseniaiives, ann tnis atternoon Clerk of the House Kerr. Sergeant at Arms Voder and 1'ostmat.ter Dalton held a conference to consider the distribution of patronag" w itl the view of making it as nearly equal as political geography will permit. Doorkeeper Turner was to have been present, but was detained. Several Appointments Already Marie. Mr. Kerr has decided to appoint "Walter H. French, of Massachusetts, file clerk, vice Ferri Finch, of Illinois, resigned. The place is worth $3,500 a year, and was held by Mr. Fincli for a number of rears. Frank' II. Hosford, ot the Detroit Free Press, will be tally clerk, and J. F. Snvder, of Pennsylvania, disbursing and confidential clerk two places paying good salaries. Henry Lvle for many years a page in the House, has been appointed clerk to the Committee on Accounts: Ike Hill, of Ohio, Deputy Sergeant at Arms; J. Z. Voder, cashier of the office ot Sergeant at Arms Voder, and William Hennel, of Ohio, book keeper cl the same office. Henry L. Bal lentine has been retained by Mr. Voder as teller. The aspirants for the office of Reading Clerk of the Fifty-second Congress were piven a pracical test in the hall of the Houc of l!epresentatives this evening, for the purpose of demonstrating their ability t" fill the position. There are two reading clerks appointed each Congress. The places par well, but tire work is difficult ami tr ing. It is proposed that each Candi date shall prove conclusively his capability before appointment The announcement of the hour when the trials will begin was made this afternoon about a half hour after adjournment by John A. Keere, one of the reading clerks in the last Congress, who gave effect to his announcement by aflding "to take mv place." KO JURISDICTION 'AT SEA Has the Secretary or Agrlcultnro Over Cruel .' cts to Animals. Washington-, D. C, Dec. 12. The Sec retary of Agriculture has referred back to Secretary Blame the papers in reference to cruelty to animals at sea, prepared by "William Hosea Ballou. of Se- York. Secretary Itusk informs the State Depart ment that he has no jurisdiction over acts committed under foreign flags at sea; that he is invested with power only to look after the safe transport and humane treatment of cattle leaving our ports, and that it is wholly out of his power to assist in this movement or make recommendations. The State Department has thereupon communicated to Mr. Ballou that his sug gestions "Hill receive such consideration as the importance of the subject demands." Assistant Secretary "Wharton has the mat ter in charge at present. He will doubtless lay the general subject before the Presi dent. Keeping Oat Canadian Smallpox. Washington, D. C. Dec. 12. Assistant Secretary Nettleton has directed that a sanitary inspector be stationed at Koque's Point. X. ., during the prevalence of smallpox in Canada, for the purpose of pre venting the introduction and spread of tht disease in the United States. The Collector of Customs at Plattsburg recommended this action because of the large number of cases of smallpox of a malignant type inthe vi cinity of Montreal and Quebec, where the death rate is said to be alarmingly large. Frre Oelivery for Ttraddock. "Washington, D. C., Dec 12. ISprcUL Congressman Dalzell has recommended free delivery for Braddock, and has the promise of the Postoffice Department of ficials that the request will be granted. Among the bills that Mr. Dalzell will intro duce ill the House when the opportunity is aflorded is one relating to the purchase of the Arseiul 1'jrkj and another for relief of the survivors of the explosion that occurred j cars ago at Allegheny Arsenal. Senate Committee Scarry Arranged. "Washington, D. C., Dec. 12. The Senate llepublican Caucus Committee was at work all the afternoon, engaged in the work of rearranging the committee member- ship, and the task Is at last practically completed, with the exception of a few minor places. It is probable that a caucus will be called Monday, to receive the re port cf the committee. HEW PBE8IDENTAL APPOINTMENTS Ready to no Made When the Senate Will Act Upon Them. "Washington, D. C, Dec. 12. It is not likely that the President will make any new appointments before the end of next week. Tiiis is due to his desire to first submit to the Senate for action all the appointments he has made since the adjournment of the Fifty-first Congress on the 4th of March last. There is a large number of these re cess appointments, and their notification to the Senate will occupy two or three days of next week. The first batch was sent in Thursday, and would have been followed by otuers yesterday and to-day had the Senate remained in session. Important new appointments are to be m.ide.chief of which is the vacancy in the "War Department caused by the resignation of Sccretarv Proctor. This office has been va cant since the 5th instant, and under the law the President has 30 days to fill it. It is known that he is not disposed to act hastily in the matter, and a prominent official is authority ior the prediction that no ap pointment will be made until near the end of the time allowed. Hon. S. B. Elkins, of "West Virginia, is still mentioned as most likely to receive the appointment, bnt As sistant Secretary Grant is thought to stand a very good chance of getting it. Other im portant nominations which, however, are regarded as likely to be made much sooner than this, are those of Judges of the Circuit Court rf Appeals, the Inter-State Commerce Commissioners, the Ministers to China and Japan, and a Judge to fill the vacancy in the Court of Claims. STOPPAGE OF SUNDAY WORK. Government Officials Anzions to Give Em ployes One Day's Rest a Week. "Washington, Dec 12. Assistant Sec retary Nettleton has written a letter to Mrs. S. D. Lafetra and Mrs. Mary E. Catlin, of the "Women's Christian Temperance Union, in regard to closing the barge office at Sew Vork on Sundays. He calls attention to the letter he wrote to the Commissioner of Immigration at that port, in August last, on this subject, showing that it is the wish and purpose of the Treasury Department to suspene Sunday work in the matter of land ing immigrants, just as tar as it can be done without causing discomfort and distress among the immigrants, which "he says no human citizen would care to produce! He says; "It is my hone that, with the co-operation of the steamship companies, Sunday work can be practically abolished during a large portion of the year, and that it may prove to be possible to discontinue it entirely throughout the year." He assured the ladies that the department needed no urging in the matter "of seeing that all its em ployes have that Sunday rest which nature so clearlv requires, and to which the law entitles them, except when labors of neces sity of charity prevent' MILLS' SENATOSIAL CHANCES Much Improved by the Report of Cnlbert ron's Possible Shelving. "Washington; Dec. 12. Special Mr. Mills made his appearance on the floor of the House to-day during its brief session. He did not look at ease, and after the ad journment immediately left the hall with out taking the pains to pass the compli ments of the season wi'h the Speaker. As a figure in the House, unless it is in the role of a kicker, he does not promise much for the future. He will probably go to Texas in a lew weeks to open in person his cam paign lor the benatorsnip. His pathway in that direction has been somewhat smoothed in the past Sew hours by the announcement that the President w ill appoint to one of the vacancies on the Inter-State Commerce Commission Congress man Culbertson. In that case the com petitor who would have mo6t likely have divided votes with Mr. Mills in the Texas Lesislature will be out of the way, and the contebt will narrow down to Mills and Chil ton. Secretary Foster Much Better. "Washington, Dec. 12. Secretary Foster is reported'tobe better an?l stronger to-day than at any time since he was taken sic. and his friends are verv much encour aged at his improvement. He is still weak, however, and will hardly be able to make his contemplated Southern trip for several weeks. 2fo Trouble.
