WASHINGTON. ID. c., Jan. 5.-"Minne-
sofa has Jared exceedingly we'll at the
hands of the speaker" said Edmund
Rice. this afternoon. I'VE have re-
ceived recognition upon important COM
mittees If l had had my choice l
might have selected the committee on
commerce. to which Judge Wilson has
been appointed, but am as well pleased
to be placed upon the committee on ap-
preparations, and also on the expenses
of the war department. | should have
been pleased to see Judge Wilson ap-
pointed upon the committee on Judici-
airy, and he would probably have liked
10 be SO placed, but the committee on
commerce is equally Important. The
selection of Judge Macdonald for the
committee on public lands is high
compliment to the state, as we'll as to
the Judge"
Congressman Lind says: Il am
pleased with my designation. There is
to be considerable work done in my
committee, | am informed, but am
ready for it
Knute Nelson says: Il am kept along
in the same line of work with which |
am familiar, and | am satisfied and
pleased. Mr.. Carlisle is fair man, and
has done we'll"
Congressman Macdonald says: 81 am
more than pleased. As new member
/ could hardly have expected to be ap-
pointed upon committee so important
as the committee on public lands, but to
be appointed Oh that committee and
also upon the equally important COM
mittee of merchant marine and fisheries
is compliment to me and TO my state
no less than if | had been an old men,
Der and had been appointed to the
chairmanShipOfa an important committee.
/ think the speaker has done full JUS
tice to our state. would like to have
Judge Wilson placed upon the judiciary
committee and did what could to Sc
cure him that position. but there were
too many old Democratic members seek
Ing the place to reasonably expect the
speaker to place our faVOrite judicial
member there. | am confident that he
would have done so if possible, but the
pressure upon him was too great. The
older members were here demanding
positions, and Judge wilson dlu not
seek it, but was at home. However,
Judge Wilson will be of more practical
service To the West on the committee on
commerce than he could have been on
the judiciary committee. 1t is one of
the most important committees of the
house and many who sought positions
on that committee are bitterly disap-
pointed because they failed 10 get
there"
Congressman Wilson says: II am
satisfied with my position upon the
committees"
Delegate Clifford says: II am glad to
be on the committee on territories. 1t
is a good committee for me, and will
enable me to get good work for Da-
kOta."
After the executive session of the
senate this afternoon the senators wan

and Minnesota members in the house
Senator Davis said: 1.-The Democratic
members from Minnesota have cause to
congratulate themselves and their party
for the positions which they have re-
ceived. They are able gentlemen and
deserving of good Places
