majority of the Demo-
cratic members of the house seem
contended with the places assigned them,
but a few, among them Springer, express
loud dissatisfaction. The latter, 1t is sad,
expected to be made chairman of the COM
mite on elections, the position he occu-
pied in the Forty-sixth congress. Bat he
is not even made member of that COM
xnittee or given any other position he re-
garded in kessing with his experience,
and long service, as member OF house.
The reason, it is said, why Springer was
not given place on the election's COM
mitsee, was, he is known to be unfriendIy
to Manning, upon whose case that
committee have to pass Judgment.
Springer himself attributes his exclusion
as he regards it, from all important COM
mittees to the hostility Of Morrison. just
after adjournment of the house, Springer
went up to Morrison, who was standing in
front of the speakers desk and said you
have done id mean thing to me and
all I've got to say is, that Pll remember

Springer walked away. s. s.
Cox, is angry at his as
signment to naval affairs instead of to
foreign affairs, and telegraphed his refusal
to serve. Horr, of Michigan, said he
thought the make up of the committees
all the way through was horrible. The
committee on commerce, with which he
was most familiar ha said, was made up
in the interest of the Reagan bills" Cur
tin said, he thought the committees will
give general satisfaction; they could not
have been better. Judge Lowry, Mcmillan,
Cobb and many others, said about the
same thing. Judge Murphy, of Iowa, said
he believed IS per cent. of tine house was
we'll pleased. The appointment of Floyd
King, chairman of the levee and Mississippi
river improvement is regarded as good
authority for the continuation of the work
ON that river, as King has conspicaously
identified himself with that subject. TIE
selection IS looked upon as indicating the
speakers interest in improving the Miss
issippi river. Gen. King believes in lib
eral appropri ation for that river, and says
he will do his best to lead congress to the
same way of thinking. Henley, of Cali
fornia, says the pre- sent house will probably
raise the rate on wool and put a number
of articles on the free list, including GER
tain drugs, possibly salt. Twenty nine of
the ffty-fve ahairmanehips go to the
south.

THE BOSTON JOURNALS COMMENT.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.l
Boston, Dec. 24-The Journal will say
tomorrow morning that according to ira
ditions of congress Hon. Leopold Morse
should have been given the craftsmanship
of the naval affairs committee, to which
Speaker Carlisle has assigned Mr.. Cox, of
New York. Mr.. Morse was at his home
to-day, and explained some of the circum-
! stances which governed the course of
events. The Carlisle dilemma grew out of
the Cox Belmont quarrel over the chair
mauship of the foreign affairs com
mttee. The speaker agreed to
| leave the matter to the New York
delegation for settlement, but the
| NEW 4OIh ucllDOIs NSIC uuoOiS w lIhhS
an amicable adjustment Mr.. Carlisle
accordingly named ex Gov. Curtin, of
Pennsylvania, for chairman of foreign
affairs and Mr.. Belmont as Second mem
Der of the committee. To appease Mr..
Cox, the charm anship of naval affairs was
| selected as the most available honor of
adequate worth. 1t is safe to say that Mr..
| Morse will really be the working head of
the naval affairs committee. Mr.. Cox has
never been upon the committee, and has
taken no part in the management or dis
cussion of naval affairs. In fact Nj.
Morse will doubtless be chairman of the
Committee all but in name. His ideas
upon the policy to be pursued In the de-
partment are pretty we'll known. he be-
lieves in building and properly equiping
a navy. If this cannot be accom- piished
he would sell the navy yards. He does
not believe IN constructing a navy by pri-
vate contract. The cost of creating q
proper plsnt for building and equipping
| IRON men-ofwar, be believes, would bs q
profitable investment. At present the
navy yards are equipped only for the con-
struction of wooden ships. He woald
build a navy first for home protection, and
he would supply fleets for foreign service
later.
