MIR. KEIFER's ASSIGNMENT.

The Ex-Speaker Will Not BE Placed on the
Ways and Means Committee.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-Recent publications as
TO Republican members who will be assigned to
the committee on ways and means state that Mr..
Keifer will be one of the number. This is known
to be an error. 1t was decided from the outset
by Speaker Carlisle that the five Republican
members of the last committee returned to the
present Congress should be reassigned to t he
ways and means committee. These five are:
Messrs. Kelley, of Pennsylvania; Kasson, of
Iowa; Mckinley, of Ohio; Haskell, of Kansas,
and Russell, of Massachusetts. In reaching this
decision the Speaker was guided by the consid
Grafton that, as these gentlemen hSd
been selected by his predecessor, and
as they reflected the views of their
political associates on the revenue question. he
would continue them in their former places on
this committee. This conclusion was doubtless
dictated as much by desire to be freed from
personal annoyances as by considerations of
policy. AT the same time, the Speaker decided
that no Republican should be placed over Judge
Kelley on the ways and means committee, and
this decision was communicated to Mr.. Kelley
within forty-eight hours following the organ
ization of the House. The death OF Mr. Has
kell causing vacancy among the five Repub-
licans named, Mr.. H1scock, of New York, was
selected to succeed Mr. Haskell, and his name
will follow those of Kelley, Kasson, Mckinley
and Russell. Mr.. Keifer will be the first Repub-
lcan on the committee on appropri-
atons. Messrs. Mckinley, Russell and
Hiscock are in full sympathy with Judge Kelley
on all questions relating to the protective tariff,
and will follow his leadership in opposing the
efforts which Mr.. Morrison and his Democratic
associates on the committee will undoubtedly
make to reduce the existing rate of duty Mr..
Kasson claims to be a proteetionst, but would
favor further reductions of duty on a number of
commodities included in The dutiable list. All
the Democrats named for the ways and means
committee, except perhaps, Mr.. Hewitt, of New
York, are pronounced in favor of large reduc-
tions in the entire dutiable list and of making
large additions to the free list.

From what one sees here and hears through

Will go before the Democratic State convention
next spring for nomination for Governor of In

ocratic persuasion said to-day to the CONNER
cial correspondent that they believed Holman
would like to make the race, and would proba-
bly, be candidate. He would no doubt receive
the nomination if a candidate. Nv. Cobb said:
"If Holman is not a candidate ex-Lieutenant-
governor l. p Gray will be nominated 1 really
believe Holman wants the nomination, but
he won't say so. II nominated he will
make a strong candidate. We will nominate in
the early part of June, think, or shortly before

We select delegates TO the national convention

though the Republicans will nominate Dudley

are warm personal friends Carlisle will doubt
less do what he can in the interest of McDon-
AIDS nomtn alton. In fact, that there is large
majority of Democratic members i'll Congress In

MINOR MATTERS.
Rapid Destruction of Carp by the voracious
MnSkrat.

Rapid Destruction of Carp by the voraciOus
Muskrat.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2l.-At u recent meeting of
the Biological Society, held in this city, inter-
esting facts were elected concerning the appe-
tite of the muskrat. Mr.. Henry W. Elliott re-
lated his experience with muskrats in his carp
pond in Ohio. The carp in several ponds known
to him had Deen totally destroyed by these rats,
and on the banks of one small pond the burrows
of about fifty muskrats were seen. The obser-
vations were peculiarly interesting, since this
animal has not hitherto been known to eat fish.
Mr.. Elliott predicted that within few years all
the carp III circumscribed ponds in the West
will be destroyed unless some means of exter-
minating the rats is found. DR.. NJ G. Elzey stated
that he had known muskrats In Virginia to eat
fish. Mr.. True stated that rats and many other
gnawipg animals eat fish at times and that
COWS in Norway and Iceland, as well as in Cape
Cod, eat fish, and deer in the national museum
would eagerly eat meat. DR.. Schaeffer stated
that ponies in the Shetland islands eat fish. Dr..
Ellzey suggested that muskrats could be ex-
terminated very effectively by the use of ap-
pies prepared with strychnne.

Colonel COrkhill called the attention of the

purpose of influencing their action in the case
of N. w. Fitzgerald. He read the article re-
ferred to, which was addressed to the District
Attorney and signed IN. W. Fitzgerald" 1t
criticised the District Attorneys conduct III
attempting to prosecute these attorneys and
in appearing as attorney IN the libel suits
brought by Fitzgerald against certain
newspapers. sit is true, your Honor" said Mr.
Corkhill, when he finished the reading, "that I
am the attorney of the Globe Democrat and the
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, but l have q
right to appear professionally in these cases"
Judge Wyle read the section providing that
persons attempting to influence the action of the
grand or petit jury by writing reading letters,
etc, shall be punished by fine of not more than
81 900, or imprisonment for not more than six
months, and said:

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2l-Tnere are four regi-
ments Of coored troops in the United States army,
Of which two are cavalry and two infantry. The
fact that no eolored man has been selected for
the chaplaincy of one or all OF these regiments
has arrested the attention of certain parties
who have brought the matter to the attention of
the Secretary of War, and who are urging him
to recommend the appointment of colored man
to the first vacancy that occurs in the grade of
chaplain. There are thirty post chsplains in the
army who are paid an annual salary of 81 500,
and who have the rank of flrsJ-lieutenant Rev.
