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.

day season, some drygoods firms are obliged

From our duty to our customers,
consequently the clothes that we
make never shrink ON our customers.
We prefer to leave a man enough
room to "laugh in his sleeve," if he
wants to, and as we want our cus

make clothes for them which grow
LESS. The best material, therefore,
is put in our garments; they are made
in the best fashion, by the best work
