LISN COMMITTEE CHANGES lb" M4 VMTab 1A 2h Eo HOW 011 ateset Uar Be All the Senate Comnmitees WMl Sames, The obanges to be made in the committaes of the Senate and House after Marel next will be many and interesting, and before- they are effected there will be much gossip on the subject.

House changes an looked for, owing to the defeat of memabers in the last election and to the failure of others to secure renomination. In the Senate the changes may or may not be confined to defeated members. A good deal will depend on the umerieal position of the republicans, on attitude towar1 silver republicans. on the position of gold democrats, etc. The chat.ges in the Distriat of Columbia committees pf both houses may be conlidarable.

The House committee will be al most a new one In Its cinposition before It gets down to work. Cfhairman Babcock will be at the head of the committee again if he Is not for a cabinet position. Harmer of Pennsylvania, Curtis of lowa, Odell of New York. Shannon of New Yoril are among the republican members of the committee who have been returned. The republican members of the committee who were defeated were Hulick of Ohio, Huling of West Virginia and Milnes of Michigan.

These will all have to be replaced by republicans. Wellington, another republican member, will be in the Senate. and his place will have to be filled. This vacancy will go to a Maryland member. Representative Mudd may get the place, having formerly been a member of the committee.

Only one democratic member of the committee wil come back. He is Representative Richardson of Tennessee. The democrats who will not be in the next Congress are Runk, Maryland; Cobb. Alabama; Meredith, Virginia; Abbott. Texas.

and Cobb, Missouri. There is a certainty of but one change in the Senate District of Columbia committee. Senator Gibson will go out after March. It is not known whether Senatorelect Wellington will succeed him on this ccmimittee. Senator Gorman may have something to may on this question.

The custom of giving Maryland one place on the committee will be referred to again. Senator Hansbrough of North Dakota. another member of the committee. will go out of ofmtce in March unless he is re-elected. Senator Pritchard of North Carolina will also go out unless re-elected.

These are probable changes. For many years North Carolina hap had representation on this committee, the late Senator Vance being one of the members for years. Should Senator Pritchard be succeeded by a demoCrat or populist it Is not known what might be, done. Perhaps in this event the republicaqs would want to fill the vacanc2y caused by Senator Gibson's retirement. The Other Senate Committees.

Silver republicans hold the balance of power, as matters now stand, on a number of Important Senate committees. Of these the -inost important are finance and appropriations. What attempt the republicans will make, if any, to change the complexion of these committeer is a matter of conjecture, but It is predicted there will be some lively times. Much depenls on how the gold democrats act. It is thorght they will certainly join with the republicans in trying to change the finance committee.

As organized early in the year on party lines this committee Is composed of seven republicans and six democrats, the republicans being Morrill, Sherman, Jones of Nevada. Allison, Aldrich, Platt and Wolcott. Jones will no longer act with the republicans on financial matters, thus cutting their membership to six. The democratic members of the committee areVoorhees, Harris. Vest.

Jones of Arkansas, White and Walthall, all siver men. All ofJ these will remain on the committee except Voorhees, who will be succeeded in the Senate by a republican. It is not improbable that the silver men will resist the appointment of a gold man to succeed Voorhees. but It is believed that the republicans will join with the sound money democrats and put a gold standard democrat In place of Voorhees. Changes in Senators will make several Important changes in the appropriations committee.

The republicans on th4s com, mittee are Allison. Hale, Cullom. Teller Quay, Pettigrew, Perkins. It Is probable that all of these will be in the next Senate, but Teller and Pettigrew will act by them, selves. The democrats are Cockrell, Call, Gorman, Blackburn, Brice and Faulkner' Blackburn and Brice will be succeeded by republicans.

Call may come back froni Florida. The committee on foreign relations will have no change except by the retirement of Cameron of Pennsylvania, who will be succeeded by a republican. All the other members of this committee are regular republicans, who will act in thorough accord with the administration. The democrats will have no changes in this committee. The committee on Indian affairs is in the hands of the silver men with a vengeance.

Pettigrew is chairman and Stewart and Mantle are members, credited to the republicans. The judiciary committee will undergo important changes. The republican members of the committee who will be in the next Senate are Hoar, Teller, Platt, Mitchell, Davis, Clark and Thurston. Of the six democrats three will go out. They are Pugh, Vilas and Hill.

Pettus, the successor of Pugh, will be an able man to fill that place, but it would be guesswork as to who will fill the other places. If the silver democrats secure both these places they will be in a minority, even counting Teller with them. Lindsay, gold democrat, Is a member of the committee. The committee on pensions will be considerably broken up. It stands now six republicans, six democrats and one populist, Pefer.

Of the republicans Hansbrough Is the only one whose place Is in doubt. Peffer is a candidate for re-election. Three of the democrats are going out. They are Palmer, Brice and Vilas, leaving Mitchell, Lindsay and Roach. The committee on rules is at present in possession of ttee silver men, Teller holding the balance of power.

The republicans orr the committee are Aldrich, Hoar, Mitchell and Teller. Mitchell will probably succeed himself and will act with the regular republicans. The democrats are Blackburn, Harris and Gorman. Blackburn will go out and the silver democrats will secure his successor, leaving the committee in the hands of Teller, unless there is a radical change and Teller is forced off. This could be brought about, it Is thought, by the gold democrats acting with the republicans.

Nearly every other committee of the Senate is similarly affected. On few of them do the republicans now have matters their own way If the silver republicans choose to act against them. The siver republicans have the power to demand and secure things. Lafayette Post. rafayette Post, G.

At that time a4 of the rLational committee designated a committee of fifty citizens, with Jamed 0. Berv ret at their head. There were a general committee and an executive committee of Ofteen members in 1881, and this arrangement, it was recommended, should be followed 18W2. Mr. James G.

After the list had been made known by publication there was a great deal of dissatisfaction, It being claimed that Mr. Norris-had not selected enough "original 'Cleveland men" on the 'committee. The "central' deroe-tic' committee also felt that they have been consulted and Chair'man Harrity was overwhelmed w4th letters on the subject.

Representative laymen of the Roman Catholic Church here in Washington.

as vell as the clergymen of that faith, deeply deplore the recent publications purporting to give authoritative glimpses of, the present and future policy of the Vatican regardIng the American branch of the church and the leading members of the American These clergymen and laymen say they place no credence whatever in the reports appearing as coming from Rome. The latest report of this kind appears today In the New York Journal, as a dispatch from Rome. The Journal's correspondent says that despite the pressure of the Jesuits, supported by Cardinal Satolli, the pope Is very undecided with respect to the steps which should be taken against Archbishop Ireland. his holiness fearing to provoke a dangerous dualism in the American church. which might even bring about a schism.

Continuing, the article is as follows: "Leo XIU has, however, directly requested from Archbishop Ireland full explanations respecting his conduct. To this end he has uritten him a letter couched In very paternal terms, urging him to conform to the general views of the Catholic episcopate. pointing out that the unity of the church can admit of no differences of opinion, even In matters which do not affect the dogmas of religion. Should this letter produce no effect. the pope will probably request the archbishop to come to Rome, solely that he may discuss matters with him and come to an understanding.

"In short, for the moment the intentions of the pope with respect to Ireland are still very well disposed; but at the Vatican it is feared that this disposition may change at any minute. because the Jesuits are daily gaining more and more influence in the Immediate household of the pope, and because several cardinals who do not themselves helong to this order, such as Vannutelli and Parrochi, are throwing the weight of their into the scale against the American prelate. "Had Leo XIII been a more energetic pope this affair would already have been decided adversely to Ireland; but it must be remembered that his holiness is a very old man, and that consequently he is sometimes subject. like all men. to weaknesses, and it is possible that the adversaries of Ireland may profit by one of these laxer moments in order to attain their object.

"Archbishop Ireland has no friends at the Vatican. but it cannot, on the other hand. be said that every one Is actually against him. I know, for instance, that Cardinal Rampolls, the pope's secretary of state. disapproves of all the proposals to adopt violent measures in this matter, and, as this prelate is the principal adviser to his holiness.

much is certainly due to his Intervention that up to the present the efforts of Satolil and the Jesuits have not carried the day. "If Ireland will come to Rome It may be possible for him to arrange everything. only he ought to make The friends of Archbishop Ireland in Washington are very strongly inclined to belief that no such letter as that Indicated In the dispatch has been written and that if the archbishop visits Rome his journey will be made at some remote date. TWINING CITY'S MYSTERY. The Story Told by a Young Woman Who Has Vanished.

The residents of Twining City were star.tied Tuesday night about 10 o'clock by loud cries of a woman evidently In distress. The cries were in the direction of a chump of bushes and thick undergrowth near the railroad track, and almost within a stoce's throw of several houses. Those who left their homes to learn the'cause of the trouble saw the form of a man emerge frr the wooded land and pass along the rcad to the Pernsylvania avenue bridge. About the same time a young woman came from the same direction. To Policeman Andrews she stated that the man had threatened to kill her unless she submitted to him, but she risked her life and screamed for assistance.

She proved to be a handsome young woman, not rore than twenty-two years old. She was well dressed and seemingly a woman of refinement and education. Her rame she gave as Minnie Anderson, and said she lived in Boston. According to h.r story, she came here three weeks ago to visit her uncle, who, she said, lived in Georgetown. on 32d street.

The man with whom she had been she said she had met while visiting her uncle. Tuesday afternoon, she said, she started frcm her uncle's home with the young man, who was going to show her the places of Interest. He finally induced her to cross the Pennsylvania. avenue bridge, on the pretense that there was a park there. Together, she says, they passed the few bc-uses In TwinIng City, and walked' along the road as far as the railroad track, and then they made a turn.

Then It was for the first time that theI young man had said anything improper to her. When she declined to accede to his; demands she says he drew his pistol and threatened to kill her. Her outcry, she says, frIghtened him away, and he returnedacross the bridge. Policeman Andrews, who was impressd with the truthfulness of the young woman's story, accompanied her to the cars of the Capitol Traction Company at Pennsylvania avenue and 8th street southeast, and sent her on her way home. Yesterday the officer went in search of the young woman, hoping he would be able to get some additional information which would enable him to apprehend the young man, but could not find her.

Neither could he learn anything of the young man's Identity. It is now supposed that the young woman gave a fictitious name In order to prevent notoriety, while some of the ofticers think that she made a mistake in the address. being a stranger In the city. Now the police are anxious to locate the fair one, as they want her assistance in the investigation. Playing the Game.

John Thomas, more widely known as "Sugar Lip," a colored man, over seventy years of age, was on trial before a jury this afternoon in the Police Court charged with setting up a gaming table. Thomas lives In a little hut in the rear of 902-804 street. His place was raided about 10 o'clock last Saturday night by Policeman Warren, who found several there engaged in a game. A sweat cloth and board and some money were captured. "I looked through a crack In the door and saw the game in progress," said Policeman Warren.

"Oh, you did, did you?" commented Lawyer Moss. "You crept up there like a thief in the night and played eavesdropper. Don't you know that eavesdropping is a common law offense?" The question passed unanswered. "Now, isn't it a fact that this old man is harmless and lives like a hermit?" Inquired the lawyer of the witness. "Lives more like a hog," some one plied.Thomas' defense was that the game in progress was a friendly one, the stake being a glass of beer.

He claimed that the paraphernalia captured in the raid was not his prcperty. The jury quickly returned a verdict of guilty. Unfortunate Afair. Harry J. Shumate Is an unfortunate man, and this morning when he called on Sanitary Officer Frank he told of his misf-)rtune.

A large number of interested colored citizer.s many of whom were ladies, met last night at the People's Academy, on 6th Street between and streets southwest. and organized a "Quartermaster and Commissary Employes' Aid Association." All had some claim on the government on account of services rendered in the late war by themselves or some one whom they represented The meeting, which was characterized by order and determination.

was called to order at 8 p.m.. and prayer was offered by Rev. IL E. Gilchrist. The object of the meeting was then explaihed, and the stories of many of the old gentlemen touching their war records were listened to, while the old ladies and younger people could tell of deceased relatives who did service is the war and died from diseases contracted in the line of duty.

The officers were elected: Rev. R. E. Gilchrist, president; Simon Robinson, vice president; James W. Poe, secretary: Mrs.

Sadie Wood, assistant secretary; H. E. Harris, treasurer, Philip Winktleld, chaplain, and Peter Robinson, sergeant-atarms. The following were made a committee on rules: James W. Poe.
