THE COMMITTEES WHICH ARE GIVING HIM
MOST NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. AFFAIRS, LABOR
AND COINAGE, WEIGHTS AND MEASURES
CONTESTS FOR CHAIRMANSHIPS.
Speaker Carlisle is about half through with
his committees. He has skeletonized the list
and has most of his chairmanships settled and
Is fitting the members in their places. The
committees he is having The most difficulty
about are the foreign affairs, labor and coinage,
weights and measures The committee on
foreign affairs is the most trouble to him. The
fight of last Congress is renewed, and Mr. Perry
Belmont is very hopeful Of success this time.
In the last Congress the committee was given
to Governor Curtin in spite of his bitter oppo-
sition to Mr.. Carlisle's selection as Speaker,
and Mr. Belmont did not get over his disap-
pointment during the session. This time Gov
ernor Curtin favored Mr.. Carlisle for Speaker,
and for that reason Is supposed to be on a
stronger footing than when he won before,
but the fight upon him is being pressed
more vigorously than them and charges that he
was governed by Secretary Frelinghuy sen, and
some similar charges have been brought for
ward as reasons why he should be promoted"

the fact that he is the only democrat in the

The fight Is being pressed so warmly and there
is SO much personal feeling involved that il is
rumoreu that Mr. Herbert, of Alabama, vino
was quite an able member of the ways and
means committee, Will be chosen rs a compro-
mise and be given the craftsmanship.
Inc scramble for the labor committee Is not
connned to the craftsmanship. About one-third
OF the members of the House want to get on
that committee, and Mr.. Carlisle is having a
hard time to choose. The craftsmanship, it is
generally considered. will go either to Foran, OF
Ohio, or O'Neil, of Missouri, both OF whom are
good men for the place and are pressed with
nearly equal earnestness by labor organizations
In various parts OF the country.
1t Is settled that Bland is to hold the chair
manshlp OF the coinage, weights and measures,
but the composition of the committee is CIV
ing the Speaker much worry. Pressure is
being brought to bear by Bland and the other
silver men to have none but advocates of the
silver dollar placed upon it; while on the other
hand great influence is exerted to have it con-
structed in harmony with the administration.
In this way the Speaker is subjected 10 a heavy
crOss-hre that Is very harassing.
The Secretary Of the Navy, it is said, will
have much to say about the composition of the
naval committee. Mr. Hewitt, 1t is conceded,
will be at its head and O number of others
whom Mr. Whitney favors will be placed upon
it.
Mr.. Blount of Georgia. it is said, is to be the
chairman OF the post office and post roads COM

The ranchmen OF Graham county. Arizona,

New YORK, Dec 2S.-The Post financial article
says: ''The stock market gossip that filters
through the news agencies into the street was
all bullish this forenoon, quite as bullish as
they were bearish last week and the week be-
fore. The most conspicuous OF these
rumOrS are that new pool has
been formed in Lake Shore and New York
Central, and that both are to declare larger
dividends sooner than has been expected.
The increase of earnings of the North western
and the Omaha has also given all the granger
stocks better support. A large part OF this
change in the tone of the gossip is because a few
spectators who have been on the bear side
have avowedly changed, and are now bulls on
the Vanderbilt and Granger stocks. Conse-
Quently all the gossip which emanates from
such quarters is open to quite as much suspi-
cion as was their bear talk and deceptive
market was undoubtedly bullish this forenoon"

STORIES OF RACE PREJUDICE.
SYRACUSE, n. Y, Dec. 2s.-E. NJ Cravath
teiegraphs to morning paper here that the
alleged Fisk jubilee singers who appeared In
this city last week under the management of
81. Cushing, have no connection whatever with
his Institution and the of the title "Fisk" by
them is unauthorized. The refusal of Troy
hotels to entertain these people was extern
sively advertised. An interview with Mr.
Cushing in this city was telegraphed to New
York newspapers and considerable sympathy
has been aroused. Insults, which Cushing said
the singers had received, were shown not to
have been inflicted on the company he now
manages, but on the genuine Fisk Jubilee singers
during their travels n few years after the war
when prejudice was marked.
