JUpGDE KELLEY's OMISSION.
The omission of Judge Kelley from men,
berShip on the new ways and means COM
mittee is explained by the fact that he
wrote to Speaker Reed requesting to be ex-
cused from further service on this laborious
committee on account of his age and the
present condition of his health. The
Enaakar tbaraYtr.ora r,rnvidad N hnnnra hla
place for him by making him chairman Of
the committee on manufactures and naming
prominent men as his associates.
NATION WIDE.
The committee on ways and means has
been so constituted as to stretch, in respect
to its membership, from one end Of the
country to the other, and to embrace all
diverse views on economic questions,
consisting, as 1t does, of representatives
from Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Maine.
California, New York, Wisconsin, Ken
lucky, Texas, Tennessee and Arkansas, who
represent the agricultural as we'll as the
manufacturing interests of the country.
The committee was selected, it is said by
one who Is in the confidence of the speaker,
with view to securing men who, while
holding diverse opinions on the tariff
question, are conservative in their char
acters, and are likely to come to some fair
and honorable action on the subject of
tariff revision.
The membership of the appropriations
committee is likewise nation wide, repre-
senting the states of Illinois, Ohio, Mary
land, Iowa, Kansas, Massachusetts, New
York, California, Michigan, Pennsylvania,
Georgia, Texas, Ken,ucky and Missouri.
KELLEY's COMMITTEE.
The committee on manufactures, OF which
Ka1laU iG Ohairro1at1 ha haaT, ma a tfn
sually strong, as it is probaSl lie thar during
the coming session it will be called upon to
formulate legislation in respect TO trusts
and kindred subjects
OF the thirteen members of the COM
mittee on ways and means of the Fiftieth
congress, but six will sit around the COM
mittee table during the Fifty-first congress:
Mr.. Breckenridge of Kentucky had to give
place to Mr.. Carlisle, and Mr.. Flower Of
New York, as minority member, succeeds
Messrs. Turner Of Georgia, Wilson of West
Virginia, and Bynum of Indiana. Messrs.
Mckinley and Burrows are the only repub-
lican members of the old committee reap
pointed.
All the old republican members of the
appropriations committee who were re-
elected retain their places on the commit
tee, occupying, however, the head of the
table, instead of the foot, where Messrs.
ANc~hASAAs iOAAOJH AoAJCA DAoNRAAh A0{oo Va
Kentucky and Dockery will now be seated
THE CAUCUS COMMITTEE.
The republican caucus committee to ar
range the committees of the Senate for the
Fifty-first congress completed its work to
day, and will report to the caucus to-
morrow afternoon. OF the present COM
mittees but one will be dropped-that on
the centennial of the constitution and
discovery of America. In its place will be
a committee on the celebration of the
quadro- centennial of the discovery OF Amer
lea. OF this committee Mr.. Hiscock will
be chairman, he having held that position
in the old committee. This committee will
have charge of all bills relating to the
worlds fair of 1892.
TWO NEW COMMITTEES.
Two new committees are provided for
one on immigration, and one on Indian
depredations. The former committee will
have jurisdiction of bills similar to those
introduced during the last congress by
Messrs. Palmer, Morrill, and others, which
failed to secure committee action because
of the stress of business referred to the
committee having them in charge.
OF the committee on immigration
MIR. Chandler will be chairman. When
Mr.. Chandler went out of the Senate last
March because Of the appointment of Gen.
Marston to ill the vacancy until the legis-
lature elected in June, he, Of course, lost
his committee membership, and came in
last week like the other new members,
without place. The organization of this
committee enabled his colleagues to put
him into the chairmanship, Mr.. Moody Of
South Dakota will be chairman of the COM
mittee on Indian depredations. He is the
only senator from new state to secure
craftsmanship. The others are provided
memberships on desirable committees.
ONE OF THE EFFECTS.
The three moro important committees an
nounced to day dispose Of most OF the men
named on them, for place on either of
them is considered equivalent to chair
manship of one of the less important COM
mittees Illinois, having received two
chairmanships to-day, will hardly get the
others she expected-Mr. Hit on foreign
affairs, Mr.. Henderson on rivers and bar
bors, and Mr.. Payson on public lands. OF
these three Mr.. Hit is most likely 10 be
appointed, being the personal friend both of
Secretary Blaine and Speaker Reed.
Mr.. Bingham Is probably the only other
Pennsylvanian who will get an important
chairmauship. He will be chairman of
postoffices. Mr.. Boutele will be chairman
Of naval affairs, Mr.. Milliken Of public
buildings, and Mr. Stewart Of the judiciary.
