Deep Water Bill.
Committee Vacancies OecasiOned by the

Reed Against Mills.

Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, May 26-The transfer
of Mr.. Carlisle to the senate leaves two
important committee vacancies in the
house, one on rules and one on ways and
means. 1t is the established custom
70 have the chairman of the
ways and means and the rank
ing member of the minority of
that committee on the committee on
rules. In the ordinary course OF events
Mr.. Mills would go on the rules commit
tee TO succeed Mr.. Carlisle and new
man would be appointed at the foot of
the line on the ways and means. But
Fir. Reed is credited with being dead set
against Mr.. Mills going on the rules COM
Inittee, and II is said that he is thinking
OF appointing Mr.. Blount. whom he has
already placed on the rules committee TO
succeed Mr.. Randall, 10 succeed Mr..
Carlisle on the ways and means, and
then OF appointing Mr.. Wilson of West
Virginia to the vacancy on rules. The
Democrats would prefer to see Mr.. Mills
go on the rules Us the representative of
the minority of the ways and means, and
10 have Mr.. Wilson appointed to succeed
Mr.. Carlisle on the ways aud means.
BRYANT WILL BE CONFIRMED
1t is over three weeks since the
name of David E. Bryant as judge of the
Eastern district of Texas was sent to the
senate. During that time all sorts of
rumors were current rs to his chances for
confirmation. AS previously mentioned
his political allegiance was impeached,
and he was said TO be { milk and water
Republican. Frequent illusions were
made to his reputed connection
with Huntington, the Southern Pacific
people and their methods OF doing bust
ness, in that It was very generally sup
posed that Mr.. Bryant would never
reach the distinguished honor of a judge
ship. To-day the case was brought be-
fore the committee, and it is gratifying
TO state TO the readers of THE
GAZETTE that the star cham
Der proceedings are exclusively known
10 THE GAZETTE correspondent outside of
the committee itself. The committee de-
cided to report the nomination favor
ably, and there is every reason to be-
lieve that Judge Bryant will be con-
firmed by the senate. Every effort
has been made of the members
OF the committee TO keep their action
this morning a secret, but without avail.
The people of Eastern Texas can call
MIN d uCse bryant.
DEEP WATER BILL.
Col. Stewards resolution to make the
Galveston deep water bill q special or
der will be acted upon favorably by the
committee on rules as soon as Speaker
Reed returns from Maine. 1t is the inten-
ton of the friends of the measure
TO pass it at an early date,
and Maj. Mckinley assured Col. Kilgore
to-day that the committee on rules
would report the resolution making the
Galveston bill q special order. AS the
measure has already passed the senate
and is so thoroughly understood IN the
house there seems to be now
no question about its passage.
AS only 81 900, 900 can be used in any
one year, the president will doubtless
sign the bill. At last it seems the Lone
Star state is to have a proper deep water
outlet to the sea. Mr.. Gresham is still
here and is now confident of early sue
cess.
