WASHINGTON. Feb. 26-The House to-
day went into committee Of the whole on
the deficiency appropriation bill. Some dis
cussion arose over point of order against an
amendment offered Ly Mr.. Rowel Of
Illinois appropriating $500 to reimburse
Robert Smalls for the expense incurred in
his election contest. The point was sus-
tained and the amendment was ruled out
Mr.. Sayres Of Texas, read letter which
Mr.. Scott of Pennsylvania had received
from Col. Lamolt, stating that when he
had accepted the position of private secre-
tary to the President, he had done so with
full knowledge Of the pay attaching to it.
He preferred not to be the beneficiary Of
retroactive legislation; and he therefore
asked that the committee recede from its
amendment appropriatng 5000 for his
benefit. Mr.. Sayres asked leave to strike
out the amendment; but Mr.. Hayes OF Iowa,
objected. The committee then rose and the
bill was passed, the Lamont amendment
being eliminated.

Kennedy, against much objection, per

THE HOUSE COMMITTEES.
Who are Likely to Get the Most Import
ant Chairmanships.

1t is not expected to take Mr.. Reed long to
name his committees. 1t may give him some
trouble to place the hundred and twenty five
or twenty-six new members. but the location of
the old members on the committees of the last
House was of character to be of
assistance to him. There are a number of
minor chairmanships about which there is no
talk yet, but gossip has already fixed the chair
manships of the more important committees.
1t is expected that Mr. Reeds first care will be
TO PROVIDE FOR THE DEFEATED CANDIDATES.
Cannon will doubtless be chairman of the ap-
preparations committee and Mckinley Of the
committee on ways and means. 1t is un-
derstood that Gen. Henderson prefers to
remain on the appropriations committee
and that Mr.. Burrows would be satisfied to be
a member Of the ways and means. They will
probably be assigned accordingly, and may be
each given some minor Craftsmanship besides,
so that they may have clerks.
OTHER PROMINENT cHAIRMASsHIps.
Mr.. Lodge, it is thought, will be chairman Of
naval affairs, Mr.. Bayne Of rivers and harbors,
Mr. Dingley of banking and currency, Rowell
