Important Committeesv’l'hnt on Banking
Will Cut Quite a Figure.
Wasnlxcros. Nov. 10. —The house com-
mittees which are expected to be of the
greatest importance in the next congress
are those on the ways and means. appro-
priations. rules. banking and currency,
coiasge. weights and measures. rivers and
harbors and public buildings and grounds.
The first thmnsmcd always head the list
in order of importance. The others are
expected to assume importance in the
next congress because of the especial con-
ditions which will prevail during that
congress.
The banking committee will certainly
be one of the most important committees
in the entire list if there should be an of-
fort, as is hinted there may be. to revise
the currency laws aild change the present
system.
Such legislation as this would lift the
committee dealing with it from its pres-
ent place of insignificance and place it
for the time alongside of the ways and
means committee. The probability of an
effort to secure silver legislation. and the
probability that the Republican party
Wu it comes into power in the house
1 want to formulate a policy on this
question, will have the effect also of ad-
vancing the coinage committee to a posl.
tion of first rank.
iii any New Men.
The river and harbor and public build-
ings committees will have the delicate
task of providing for public improvements
so far as s committee of the house can no»
compllsb this work. With so many new
man as there will he on the Republican
side in the next congress. and all of them
feeling that it will be necessary for them
there will naturally be a pretty general
clamor for appropriations for postofilce
buildings. customs houses and river and
harbor improvements. While t e Repub-
lican party has always shovfiim disposl‘
tlcn toward liberallty in public improve
ments. there is a probability of an effort
to hold their miscellaneousappropriations
as low as possible.
The low condition of the treasury and
the fact that a presidential election will
be so near at hand will prove strong or-
guments in this direction. as will the pos-
sibility of a presidential veto.
The Republicans at present have six of
the seventeen members of the committee
on rlvcrs and harbors. and all thcir mem-
bers have been re-elccted except Mr. Hon
derson of llllnois. With Henderson out
of the way. Hermann of Oregon takes first
place in the Republican membership of
the committee, with Stephenson of Mich»
ignn. liookcr of New York. (irosvcnor of
Ohio and llingburn of Pennsylvania fol-
lowing in the order named. it cannot,
of course. be known whether the next
speaker will follow the seniority rule. if
he should. .\fr. Hermann would became
chairman,
Mr. Millikan of Maine hands thc Re
publican membership of the committee
on public buildings, and the chances are
that if Mr. Heed becomes speaker Mr.
)lllllken will be chairman of his commitr
too. Mr. Morse of Massachusetts is the only
other Republican member of tho culli—
luittec rcturncd
Only three of the old ltcpubliran mem-
bers of the committee on banking and
currency are n- nliit'ifitl '1 hey are Messrs.
Walker of Massachusetts. Russell of (ion
noctlcut and John-on of lndlnna Mr.
Walker is the senior Republican member
He has from the beginning of his con.
grosslonnl career taken an active interest
in financial questions. and his chances of
securing the (‘litlll'lilftllilhlp Would be the
best.
(if the six present Republican numbers
of the cmulnittuc on ceilings. weights and
measures. five have been reelected to the
fifty-fourth congress. They are in the or
dcr named: Stone of Pennsylvania. John-
son of North Dakota, llingley of Mainc.
linger of lawn and Aldrich of llilnois.
Mr. Stone would naturally become chair
man of the committee. but it is suggested
that in case of Mr. lleed becoming speak-
er he might have a personal policy with
reference to silver which he Would want
to pursue. and in that event might want

(J. ilurrows of .ugan will become
chairman of the “dye and means com-
mittoe, with Mr. Ilcod in the speaker’s
chair. but there is little doubt that he
will be given this important post. which
carries with it the ltspubllcnn leadership
on the floor of thc house if he fails in his
ambition to succeed fienator l’atton to his
seat in the senate. With Mr. ltscd in the
speaker's chair and Mr. Burrows in the
tenets, there would be only three Repub-
lican members of the present committee
left to choose from. these being Messrs.
Payne of New York. iialzoll of Pennsyl-
vania and llopklns of Illinois.
l). B. llendarson of lawn is the ranking
Republican member of the upprnprhr
tions columittcc. with Messrs. (fogewell of
Massachusetts. liinghum of i’enhsylva‘
rile. lilngluy of Maine. Grout of Vermont
and Cannon of llilnois coming in the or-
der named. There is likely to be a con-
flict between the first and last named of
this list. While llcnderson .ls now the
ranking Republican member of the coin-
mfttce. Cannon was chairman in the fifty-
flret congress and will probably ask to
have his old place back. it is possible
that neither Cannon nor Henderson will
get the place, for in the event of Burrows
becoming chairman of the ways and
means committee the probabilities are
strong that the out would demand the
chairmanship of the next most important.
which would be that of‘ appropriations
In that contingency (Icnoral Cogswcll' s
chances for being promoted to the head of
the committee would be excellent.
if Mr. Reed becomes speaker of the
house. the Republican membership of the
committee on rules will probably be com—
posed of himself and the chairman of the
appropriations and ways and means com
mittees. lie pursued this plan in the
fifty-first congress. and there is mason to

street house and upon which the ”.000
was obtained was not a bogus corpse. but
was in reality that of the beneficiary, B.
ll‘. Pitsell, and that he was murdered by
Holmes. This is the belief not only of
the detectives of the Fidelity insurance
company. which was socleverly victim-
ised. but of Superintendent of Police Lin-
den and the coroner. They think that the
confession made by Holmes detailing the
conspiracy was 'a ruse to avert the thebry
of his having made away with the man
who for eight years was his partner in
crime.
Mrs Pltzell. wife of the victim or con-
splrator, will be arrested today. but Levi
G. Fousc. the president of the company,
thought it prudent to keep secret until
then her present whereabouts.
' A thorough investigation has been made
in this city and has raised strong doubt
as to the truth of llolmcs' story of the
manner in which they got the body. Not
the slightest clew to show that it was
brought here in a trunk about the time
of the discovery has been found.
Mr. ‘Fouse says that ex-Asslstant Dis-
trict Attorney Marshall 1". Donald of St.
Louis will not be arrested. it was he who
in 1886 prosecuted the famous Maxwell-
Prsller murder case, and much surprise
has been expressed that a man of his
prominence should be even indirectly ccn~
nected with such an affair as this.

NEW YORK. Nov. 10.--Amcng the then—
sands at Madison Square Garden who sp-
pisuded the great Alix. the fastest trot
ter in the world. as she sped swiftly and
gracefully around the tanbark ring was
a stout, bearded man in one of the boxes.
The stout man made himself noticeable
by tho enthusiasm which be displayed
and the admiring comments he made.
Alix had scarcely been taken to her stall
before her half owner. Monroe Salisbury,
who is in charge of the mare. received a
visit from the stunt gentleman.
“My name in if. U. llavcmeyer,” said
he to Mr. Salisbury, “and 1 came to see
if you would sell Alix.”
Mr. Salisbury hesitatcd for a moment.
and than said that. although Alix was
not in tho’markct, he might be induced
to part with her. Mr. Havemcyer wanted
to know the price. and Mr. Salisbury said
that he had several times refused $20, 000,
and that he would not part with her for
less than $30, 000.
Mr. llavemsycr wanted to know if she.
was sound. and he was told that she was.
but that if he had any doubts on the sub-
ject he could have hcuxamincd by a vet-
erinary surgeon. The result of the con-
versation was that yesterday Alix was
carefully examined by Dr. Shepard. who
pronounced her perfectly sound. It is be-
lieved that Mr. llavcmeyer will buy Alix
today.
1ch Ilus a Famous String.
H. 0. llavemeyer, who is the gentle-
man that makes people speculating in
Sugar trust certificates unhappy by put
ting down the stock when it ought to go
up and pushing it up when it ought to
go down. spends the leisure moments left
him from such an interesting occupation
with trotting horses. ills face is among
the best known among the drivers up the
road. He owns among a big stablctul of
horses Bella Vern. 2:08:54, and Charlie C,
2.14 .2. having paid is. 000 for the two at
auction last spring. He also owns Henri-
etta. 2:003", bought at private sale.
The Alix sale will attract attention
among trotting horse owners and breeders
because it will be the largest sum actually
paid for a trotting horse since W. H. Van-
derbilt sold Maud S to Robert Bonner for
$40,000. There has been a great sag in
the trotting horse market during the past
in months, and breeders will regard the
sum paid for Alix as a most encouraging
sign.

in charge of her when she made her rec-

and consistent performer on the Grand

and honest nmro._
Monroe Salisbury said: “i wont to
take the little more back to California
with me. where there is plenty of sun-
shine and drop grass all winter long.
'i‘lIen next spring 1 will show that Alix
can beat 2:03, i don‘t want to sell. for I
don't know whcre 1 could replace her.

"All season long i was saving the
more for the black stallion. but when we
met in lioston it was no race at all for
Alix-dust an easy thing. She went like
an arrow froln the how that day. But
for keeping something back for the lil-
rcctum race Alix would have a lower
mark now i was afraid to urge her too
much. if Mr. iiavormcysr did buy the
mare, i would like to take Henrietta and
Alix to (‘allfornln and train them to go

showing the two minute pair if all went
well. "
