SPECULATION ON THE COMMITTEES.
A number of the friends of Speaker
Carlisle, In private conference. this morn
ing, thought 1t best for the speaker to de-
fer the appointing of the committees nm
til Monday next. 1t was understood the
committees could be named tomorrow.
but by fixing the date of their announces
ment on Monday, the speaker would have
an opportunity to avoid all the minor
errors, which might be made by earlier
announcement. AS result of the confer
ence it was decided that Mr.. Morrison
should announce it in the resolution, re-
| ferring to the holiday recess, that when
the house assemble on Monday,
no business will be transacted
but list of the committees will be read.
AS yet no authoritative statement as to the
| make up of the committees can be made.
Speculation, however, is freely INDUCED
in by the members of the ways and means
co nm1ttee. These members say, of course
| it will be composed of men who entertain
the same ideas as Carlisle on the tariff,
and Mr.. Morrison is acknowledged to be
| the chairman. s. J. Randall continues
| the most prominently spoken of as chair
man Fof the appropriation committee;
The speaker encountered some difficulty
| in determining the heads of the commit
tee on foreign relations, and the commit
| tee on agriculture. It is generally believed
| that Cox, New York, will be made chair
| man of the former, and Hatch, Missouri,
| of the latter. Carlisle, in an interview to.
| day, said the list OF committees sent out
would be for the most part merely specu-
| lative.
| TIE SWINE REPORT.
| Mr.. Curtis, member of the commission
appointed by the president to investigate
diseases among swine, has returned from
! the west end submitted; the report Com
| missioners Loring and Curtis visited all
the great packing houses of Chicago, and
examined the condition of the hogs on
farms, and reports great deal less disease
among the western swine than reported.
| So far Is the feeding is concerned he is
satisfied it is conducted in manner con-
ducive to the health of the animals, and
l
for the reports circuI stsd to the effsct that
hogs are fed on the ofsl from the sIaugh-
ter houses and farms. Mr.. Curtis e1-
presses the opinion that two inspectors for
each packing house will be sufficient to
thoroughly inspect all the pork for foreign
or domestic markets. The report
states, the western people he found to be
extremely anxious for the adoption of an
| efficient system of the inspection of pork,
80 that they as well as the foreign market
will be protected against trichina and SIM
liar diseases. Therefore, they are willing
to cooperate heartily with every attempt
made by the government to give American
pork good reputation, based upon
thoroughly good quality. 1t is suggested
by Commissioner Loring that the western
hogs might be improved by an infusion of
new blood of good quality as the close
lin and in" breeding pursued by many, es-
pecially in the case of Poland
China hogs, tended to increase the pro-
duction of fat and somewhat enervate the
constitution of the animals. full COM
mission to investigate the diseases of
American swine will be called together by
the department of agriculture in January
next. Commissioner Loring says no doubt
they will be ready to report az that
| time.
THE CoLoRED COMMITTEE.
The executive committee appointed by
the colored Dational convention at Louis
Mile, KY, which consists of two delegates.
from each state, met to-day in this city
Chairman Pladger, Atlanta. called the CON
vention to order, and the roll as taken,
being called was as follows: Delegates on
proxys from Alabama, Georgia, District
Columbia, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana,
Massachusetts, Missouri, North Carolina,
Texas, Virginia, New York and New Jer-
sey. The chairman stated that
since the meeting of the convention the
civil rights decision by the supreme
court had aused considerable agita-
tion among the colored people, and this,
no doubt, would affect the discussion of the
present meeting. But the members should
not lose sight of the main principles emu
| merated at the Louisville convention. He
suggested that q subcommittee be ap-
pointed to draw up one memorial for pre-
sentation to congress, and also one to
| recommend policy in regard to politics,
if any, the committee should adopt. Fred
