Speaker Carlisle announced the full list ol
committees to-day. The West Virginia
members have been placed as follows;
Snyder gets the least Of all, the third place
on the committee on enrolled bills, which
will have little or nothing to do. The
only place that Wilson gets is the filth en-
the District Of Columbia committee. Gip.

on the River and Harbor. General Goa
got the tenth place on Naval Affairs and
the eighth on the committee on Alcoholic
Liquor Traffic. It is understood that Glib

It's committee room Is in the hats OF its
members, and it is not probable that it will
even have a meeting.
OHIO sTATEsMRS.
The Ohio delegation has been badly
dealt with. The worst treated man in
Congress is George L. Converse and his
friends promise that he will make things
interesting for Carlisle and his followers
upon every opportunity on the floor Of the
House. Ben. Lsfeyre is the most degraded
member Of the House in the makeup Of
the committees. He Is removed from the
Appropriations committee and dropped to
committee upon which he will never be
heard Of. All this because Of his lying
promises in the Speakership contest Its
