Presented to the Senate by Acting Presi- dent Manderson and Not a \Vord Raised in Protest Against Them. The Senate Committees. WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.—The president .1 sent to the senate the nomination of Stephen B. Elkins, of West Virginia, to be secretary of war, vice Redfield Proc- tor, resigned. Mr. Manderson presided in the the reading of the journal Mr. Man- derson said: “I lay ‘ .. before the senate - ‘3 «Lethe credentials of $§Dnvid Bennett . ' Mania senator from ' y 2' '. ,3 . :the state of New ~- . ..llll.\\\\ll- l m "" " The clerk mad STEPHEN n. ELKINS. the credentials, which were attested by David B. Hill, gov- ' ernor, and by the secretary of state, and. were accompanied by a certificate of the proceedings of the legislature in joint ses~ swn, Signed by Edward'F. Jones, lieutenant governor, and by the clerk of the senate, and by Speaker Sheehan and the clerk of the assembly. - / At the close of the reading the president pro tem. said, “These credentials will be placed on file,” and there was no further comment. The Democratic senators held a caucus before the meeting of the senate for the purpose of taking action on the assignments of Democratic senators to committees made by the caucus committee of the minority. The caucus was a harmonious one, but there was much talk over the list submitted. The action of the caucus committee in not as- signing Senatcr Elect Hill, of New York, and Vance, of North Carolina, was ap- proved. These gentlemen havc not been sworn in as senators, and it was decided that to assign them to committees would not be exactly in accordance with law, that it would set a bad precedent and that it would cause considerable trouble. In the caucus committee Senator Gorman, its chairman, had held out for leaving a va- cancy in each of the committees towhich Messrs. Hill and Vance would be assigned. He met with considerable opposition, and it was finally decided that certain senators should be placed on certain committees with the understanding that they would relinquish these assignments to make way for the two absentees when they were sworn in. The committees to which it was de- cided to assign Mr. Hill are interstate com- meme, immigration, territories, and rela— tions with Canada. Messrs. German and Cockrell will take his place on these com- mittees until he is sworn in. Senator Ran- som will hold the places assigned Senator Vance until the latter returns to Washing- ton. .

THE H0 USE COMM ITTEES. It Is Conceded That Springer Will Item] the “’ays and DIeans. WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.—-The membership of the ways and means committee will doubtless be increased to fifteen members. Besides Mr. Springer, who it is generally conceded will be its chairman, those prom- inently mentioned as associates are Repre- sentatives McMillin (Tenn), Turner (Ga), Fitch (N. Y.), Stevens (Mass), Bryan (Neb.), Outhwaite (0.), Bynum or Shively (Ind), and Whiting (Mich), from the' Democrats, and Reed (Me), McKenna (Cal), Hopkins (Ills), Harmer (Pa), Hender- son (Ia.), and a New England or a New York Republican. Mr. Bland, it is almost certain, will head the coinage committee, and it is maintained by many that only those members who have hitherto held free coinage views will be selected as associates. The civil service committee will, it seems probable, be represented by men who are in sympathy with the law. MRS. BLAINE PERSECUTED. James G. Blaine, Jr.’s, “'ife Compelled to Ask for Police Protection. NEW YORK, Dec. 18.— Mrs. James G. Blaine, Jr., has found it necessary to ask the protection of the police against the detec- tive which she says her husband has put on her track. Mis. Blaine is in this city attending a referee’s hearing in her suit for divorce. She is registered at the New York hotel. The collision occurred in the night. The crews of both vessels were roused by the shock and great excitement prevailed for a. time on the decks of both vessels. It was finally discovered that the jib boom Of the other vessel, which was a Russian bark, had pierced the side of the Kentigern, through which the water poured. On board the Russian bark all was confu- sion. The men were doing everything im- aginable in their efforts to escape death. Some were praying, others running to and fro. All the time the fierce gale lashed the angry waves, and both vessels shipped huge bodies of water. Shortly after the Russian bark swung astern and was driven on the rocks, where she broke and began to settle. In a little while she disappeared from sight and carried all hands with her. The captain of the Kentigern says that to launch a boat to go to the vessel’s assistance was impossible, and nothing could be done. After repairing the injuries done to his ves- sel he sailed for New York. The Russian bark had a crew of twenty- six men. To Determine Field’s Sanity.
