COMMENTS ON THE COMMITTEES
Springer Puts on his War Paint.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-About the usual
diversity of the views are expressed by con.
gressmen tonight regarding the composition
of the House Committees. Representative
Willis, of Kentucky, whose relations with
Carlisle are known to be intimate, says that
In making up the Committees the Speaker
paid most regard 10 the character and ex-
perience of the men TO be placed, aud there
was no intention or desire 10 punish any
body for the part taken in the Speakershp
contest. As proof OF the latter assertion,
Willis refers 10 the fact that Randall and a
number of his prominent supporters are Civ
Ell important chairmsnships.
All members of the New York delegation
occupy Committee places of responsibility.
"If anything" said Willis, "there is danger
of Carlisle having been too soft"
Members of the Ways and Means Com
mittee generally declined to express any
opinion as to the policy the Committee
would adopt.
Calkins who is not q member, says the
new mahe-up iuuICdtto Particular tbuiuei
raised"
The majority Of the Democratic members
of the House seems to be- contented with the
places assigned them. But few, among them
Springer, express loud dissatisfaction. He
wanted to be chairman of the committee on
elections. just after the adjournment Of the
House Springer went up to Morrison, who
was standing IN front of the speakers chair,
and said: you've done damn mean thing
TO me, aud all I've got to say is, I'll remem-
Der you" avery WE'LL" said Morrison, and
Springer walked away.
S. S. Cox is angry at his assignment to the
Naval Affairs, instead of Foreign Affairs, aud
telegraphed refusal TO serve.
Henley, of California, says the present
House will probably raise the rates on wool
and put number of articles on the free
list, including certain drugs, and possibly
salt.
Randall, tins morning, In behalf of the
Commonwealth Club, Of Philadelphia, ten
dered Speaker Carlisle a reception, to be
given by the Club in January, the Speaker
to indicate date.
