NEARLY COMPLENEs THE LIST.

WASHINGTON, Dec -Secluded in a room
somewhere up among tisp closets under the
roof Of tho Capitol Mr.. Oaflislo has been busy
all day. Besieged and bonsbarded In the Speak
ers room. and in his prifats parlors at the
hotel. Mr.. Carlisle detsrn1f4ed to hide himself.
They searched for him to-day. but could not
find him. Cunning euidea took him in hand
when he entered the C<pitol. piloted him
through the caverns and n5ysterious passages.
and led him safely to the sretreat. Here. with
names epapers. letters. Recommendations. and
requests before him. he uearly completed his
committee lists. and will doubtlcss be ready
to announce them on Mondey.
The Speaker took tho chaAf wholly free from
promises respecting the cufsmttee places. and
yet he has not escaped veryeerious embarrass-
ment. Pressure comes frq1n both parties. and
the Republicans have begG5d favors with about
as much assurance as anyDemocrat There
will he some very serioua3 dsappoin ntments.
Mr.. Cox and Mr.. Belmknt. for instance.
will be disappointed. Neither will be
made Chairman OF theS Foreign Affairs
Committee. Both have warmly desired
the place. and both have had strong pressure
brought to bear on the Speaker. Until within
few days Mr.. Cox had been listed for 1t. Mr.
Carlisle fet that Mr. Cox's fears Of experience
both In Congress and on thAt committee enti-
tied him to it. and 1t is pretty safe to say that
II ODonnell had not been hanged Mr.. Cox
would have boon named forithe place. But the
hanging OF O'Donnoll causSd the zeal Of some
OF tho friends of Ireland u exceed what Mr..
Carlisle deemed to be discretion.
Mr.. Finerty's speech the other night, in
which he denounced Mr. Belhont. was followed
by personal influence broudht to bear on the
Speaker against Mr. BelmcAt's appointment.
Mr.. Finerty declared in his slhbeech that the
hanging Of O'Donnell was Assuf1icient cause
for war between the United Btates and Great
Britain. The Speaker at 1nes e, decided that It
