IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.J
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-Ihe Committees ol .no
House of Representatives will not be announced pe
fore next Tuesday. The selection of members for
the different committees is subject Oh great an-
xietv. not only to Speaker Kefer upon whom the
immediate responsibility devolves, but to all the
members of the House. for personal as well as party
reasons and to thoughtful Republicans VINO are
mindful of marty interests. The Republican ma
;ortv in the House is not large One and the 1act Is
generally recognized that any mistake coihhi'teo
NAV result in a Democratic majority III the next
House. which will be elected less than year
hence While there is no doubt thsV
General Keifer fully appreciates TINS
fact. it is at the same time true that ne
is earnestly besought to make appointments which,
in the most charitable view, could not be looked
upon as likely to the interests OF the country
or to strengthen the Republican party.
There is no doubt the Speaker feels under heaVy
obligations to the friends and interests which ele
waited him to his high Office or that he VIII 40 "ha'
he can consistently with his own judgment as to
what is best for the country to repay those Oohea
tions His best friends hope that he will not be IN
duced TO do more than this. Nevertheless, he is
subjected to enormous pressure in behalf OF certain
members who appear to be very confident that their
wishes in regard TO places on certain committees
will be regarded but whose assignment TO such com
mittees would not be generally regarded as fortu-
nate. . l.,
General Keifer spent large portion of to-day
in his room at the Capitol, where he was bese'ged
for hours by members anxious to secure good places
on desirable committees, and by other applicants
for official favors. All reports respecting the chair
manships and membership of different commlttees
are thus far speculative merely 1t is generally be
leved, however, by those whose opportunities 10
ment is good. that Judge Kelly will be chairman of
the Committee of Ways and Means; Mr. HlsCock
inson. of Massachusetts of Elections; Mr. Robin
son or Mr. Reed of the Committee on the Judiciary
and Mr.. RobesOn, of the Committee ON Naval Al
