whether he would accept the place.
The Democratic Senators are dis
heartened at the slim prospect of Spot
ford's admission, and openly express
the opinion that as the Republicans
have manifested an intention to stand
together, Kellogg's admission is prob
able. Since it has been known that the
President desires Kellogg to be seated,
there has been no more talk Of dis
affected Republicans in the Senate. and
the Democrats realize that the Repub-
licans are more united than at the last
session.
The House Committees will probably
not be announced before Thursday. 1t
is intimatsd by Speaker Randall that
they will all be announced together.
The Democratic members say there
is no doubt OF Fernando Woods cleo
ton as Chairman Of the Ways and
Means Committee.
The House adjourned till Wednes-
day, ostensibly to allow Randall to
complete his committees, but the
chronic ~lsziness Of the House and
its irrepressible itching to make
speeches account for the slowness OF
its movements better.

speakers room the hosts of lobbyists,
frail women, etc., who come to Wash

der WAS issued that benceforth only
special permission will admit persons
to the SPEAKERS room during the ses-
sion OF Congress, and those who de-
sire to see members will have TO send
in cards and await the pleasure OF the
recipients. So many passes have been
and will be given, however. that Ran
dall's order will only sift out some of
the most ~implacable lobbyists.

press ana baggage and two passenger
coaches and three sleepers, were
thrown from the track, excepting the
engine and one sleeper. The oyster
car was smashed and all the other ears
more or less injured, but not q psssen
ger was hurt. Examination showed
that the rail had been elevated with q
jack screw, which was still under the
rail. The rail- opposite had been
loosened and turned so that the train
would be thrown into the cattle yards
close by. thus causing u terrible disas-
ter. fortunately the car took an
other shoot and ran into soft ground.
Tho tools with which this devilish
deed was done were taken from the
house near by. The theory is
the fiendish act was performed
by one or more of six section men re-
discharged. Another train was
soon on the spot and the passengers
were taken aboard aud brought 20 this
city. srri wing about eight hours late.
