and Harbors-Dixie Gets Only One
Craftsmanship.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-Chairman Reed
has scored point by getting all his
committees out before Christmls. He was
congratulated as much upon that this even
ing as upon the success he achieved in max
ing up the committees themselves. Three
men are seriously disappointed and Of
Tended. They are: Mr. Harmer of Penn
sylvania, who, after long service on the COM
mittee on naval affairs, was put off it
entirely at the request of Senator Quay to
punish Mr.. Harmer for voting both for Mr..
Mckinley and for Mr.. Carson against Sena-
tor Quay's expressed wish; Mr.. Cheadle of
of India a, who was tucked away on the
committee on claims, because he headed
the success ul movement to re-elect Blind
Chaplain Milburn, and Mr.. Houk
of Tennessee. who was rewarded for his
mercenary course as thu leader of the
southern squad" during the. speakership
contest by being taken off thevlections and
buried in the militia committee

on their re urn. No one will m urn for
MeSsrs. Cheadle and Houk, but Mr..
Harmer's friends in the Pennsylva ia dele
CATION are weeping over the severity OF his
punishment. the other Pennsylvanians
who voted both for Mr.. Mckinley and Mr.
Carson were all disappointed in their
efforts to get the places they desired, for
Senator Quay had blacklisted them all; but
they concealed their grief and indi gnation
at Mr.. Harmer's treatment. All the Penn
sylvanians swho voted for Mr. Reed are
well placed. Mr.. Harmer was expected to
get up in the HOUSE this afternoon and re-
sign his committee assignment as Mr..
Cheadle did, but he left for Philadelphia
this afternoon to think it over.

Mr., Lester got from Mr.. Reed the repre-
sentation on rivers and harbors, which the
