Congressional wiseacres. and espec-
ially the new members, are. actively
guessing who will be selected by to-be-
Speaker Reed, for chairmanships of the
several committees. The “advance
guard” of Members of the House will
begin to flock into Washington the
present week. Who will be selected as
Chairman of the Committee on Ways
and Means is in doubt. This commit-
tee carries with it the leadership of the
Hones and naturally will be filled by
all old member like Paine, of New
York, Dalzell, of Pennsylvania, or
Hopkins of Illinois. As our Congress.
man Hill beings new member cannot
get it, however well qualified, we care
little as to upon whose shoulders the
honor may fall.
Hitt of Illinois, seems to be slated for
Foreign Relations, and for Naval Af-
fairs, Boutelle of Maine.
The Committee on Banking and Car-
rency is of great importance, for it is
in the power of that committee to re-
port to the House a bill for the retire-
ment of the legal tender notes. It'is
reported that our Congressman Mr.
Hill has expressed to Mr. Reed his de-v
sire to head this committee in the event
he is to, have a chairmanship. By rea-
son of long service in the House, Co].
Russell of the New London district, is
by usage, entitled to a chairmanship
and is said to expect Manufactures of
which Page of Rhode Island was chair-
man in the last Congress. Then Sperry
of New Haven, is most likely to be giv-
en the chairmanship of Post offices, in
the event that Connecticut is accorded
3.1 second one. He came very near be-
lung selected for Post Master General in
both. the Cabinets of Abraham Lincoln
and of James A. Garfield and the latter
is said to have expressed regret that
he did not give the Post ofiicc portfolio
to Sperry. He has by practical service,
won the distinction of being the best
informed man in the country on all mat.
ters pertaining to the postal service.
Hill and Henry if left in the matter
of important chairmanships, may get
subordinate ones which carry a com-
mitte clerk in add.‘.ion to the persOnal
secretary paid for. by the government.
Both will also, without a doubt get
“fill” positions on several of the more
mportant committees.
For the Committee on Appropria-
tions, which holds the purse strings of
the government, there are two active
candidates in the field—Mr. Cannon,
who was at the head of that committee
in the last republican Congress, and
Mr. Henderson. of Iowa, who was its
ranking republican member in the last
Congress. Mr. Dingley was one of the
republican members of 'the Committee
on Coinage, Weights and Measures in
the iast Congress, and if he is not pro-
muted to the chairmanship of the Com-
mune-on Ways and Means Mr. Reed
run}; {tit him at the head of the Coinage
Committee. This committee hascharge
«if rii hills relating to the coinage of
goid and silver, and will determine
u hezher or not, the House is to have an
iflippul'ttlillly to vote upon the question
ol‘ free coinage of silver in any form.

the President will see that‘ all our
Southern neighbors are protected in
their just rights.” .
Mr. Edmunds also urged the great
advantage of the Nicaragua Canal uh-
der American control. After referring
to the many matters to be considered
when discussing the annexation of
Cuba, for instance, he paid a compli'
ment to President Cleveland, saying
that no President had ever been found
lacking in patriotism in looking after
our relations with foreign powers, and,
republican though he' was, he could
heartily say that of both of Mr. Cleve-
land’s administrations, as would, no
doubt, be demonstrated to all when all
the facts came out.
Paris’ 1900 Exposition.
First estimates of the cost of the Pa:-
is Exposition of the year 1900 are new
public property in the report of the
finance commissioners, and they say
that it will take 100,000,000 francs or
something over $20,000,000 to get ready.
This is much in advance of the con-
struction expenditures of the Columbian
Exposition at Chicago, which amount-
ed to $18,322,622, but Chicago may re-
main at the head as the details of ex-
penditures there aggregated the cellos-
sal sum of $25,540,537. The Paris com-
missioners propose to meet their ex-
pense by issuing 3,250,000lottery bonds
of'the value of twenty francs each, en-
titling the holder to twenty tickets of
admission, the right to twenty-five per
cent. reduction in admission to enter—
tainments within the Exposition, and a
reduction in railway and boat fares.
Then at the close, holders of tickets
will participate in the distribution of
cash prizes amounting to $1,250,000.
The French have a genius for raising
money and this plan is suggestive of the
thrifty way in which they devise ex-
pedients to tap thousands of little finan~
cial rivulets. Many American tourists
are already booked "for a proposed visit
to Paris in the year 1900, to attend this
great Fre nch exposition.
Hid Her Diamonds.
A woman living on Wall street who
has read of the recent burglaries in
town became so wrapped up in visions
of the thefts that thoughts of the same
haunted her when she was . asleep.
Sunday night while in a sonambulistic
state she arose from her bed and hid
her pocketbook containing quite a sum
of money. The next morning she be-
came alarmed to find her pocketbook
missing, and not until this morning
did she succeed in locating it where she
had placed it while asleep. This same
woman some time since got up in her
sleep and hid her diamonds in the toe
of her husband’s rubber boots. For-
tunately her husband was awake at the
time and saw her hide them. The next
day, after she had searched in vain for
them, he told her where they Were
much to her astonishment and joy.
