An analysis of the standing committees of
the House shows that the east gets all of the
really important chairmanships: that is those
which reiateto the revenues and appropriations,
and which usually control the legislation of the
House. There is great deal of grumbling be-
cause Pennsylvania has three representatives
on the ways and means committee and New
York none at ali. Neither is New York repre-
sented on the important committee Of COM
merce. The ways and means committee az or
ganized in protective tariff to the core. Ex-
speaker Randall is well provided for, being
given place In the ways and means committee
and the craftsmanship Of the committee on pub-
lie expenditures. Some prominent democrats
nave been sent to the rear. notably Abram S.
Hewitt OF New York: Mr.. Holman Of Indiana:
Gov Curtin. OF Pennsylvania Mr.. Cobb, Of In
diana. and Mr. BlOunt. ofGeOrgia All of these
gentlemen, save Gov. Curtin have had service
on the appropriations committee. They are now
assigned TO very Insignificant committees. Mr.
WhitthOrne has been dropped from the naval
committee and ex-Seeretary Robeson placed
upon It, Mr.. s. S. Cox. of New York has been
sent to the rear, and Mr. Spear. of Georgia, a
young but promising member. has been pro-
NOTED to membership on the ways and means
committee.
The chairmanships are distributed by States
as follows: Pennsylvania gets z: New York, 81
Indiana, g. Maine, 1; Massachusetts. 2: Califor-
MIA, 2; Nebraska. /; Wisconsin. 81 Illinois. 8;
Kansas, 1; OHIO, 3; and the other states about
one EACH
The committee on the District of Columbia is
largely made up of new members Chairman Neal
and Messrs. Holman and Klotz have served with
it heretofore Mr.. Barr represents the Harris
burg district of Pennsylvania. Mr.. Urner the
slXtn Maryland district. adjoining the District of
Columbia. Mr. Smith is the New York indie
pendent who entered the republican caucus and
voted for Mr. Hiscock for Speaker. Mr. Pierce
ls from Indiana, Dezendorf from Virginia. Gar
rlson from Virginia, Cassidy from Nevada, and
Allen from Missouri. The last three named are
democrats. The committee altogether is con-
sidered strong and intelligent one. as is also
the Senate district committee.

The Reported Invasion Of the Indian

Upon the publication few days ago of ru-
mors that Capt. Payne had actually entered the
Indian Territory with another band of Oklahoma
settlers. Secretary kirkwOod addressed an in
quiry to the Secretary of War on the subject.
VINO IN turn telegraphed to Gen Pope In reply
Gen Pope says there is no truth i'm the news
paper rumors referred to, and adds: .'For Payne
or any party of his to occupy any part of the
Oklahoma district is impracticable. I have
camp of mounted men there, and they scout it
continually. They occasionally pick up a few
stragglers and have now five, arrested few
days since. There is no sort of danger Oh any
attempt even to settle in that region. Every
precautiOn has been taken to prevent intrusion
into the Indian Territory. and there is no doubt
our measures will be entirely effective. EXag-

contrary are for effect on Congress"
