The Illinois Statesman. as Predicted,
Takes the Craftsmanship OF the
Ways and Means Committcc--The
Southern Members Claim That
They Are Not Fairly Treated.
WASHINGTON, Dec. e3.-Every con-
gresham who is in Washington-about
one-third of the whole number -ap-
peared in his scat yesterday in an
ticipation of the distribution of Christ
mas presents by Speaker Crisp in the
shape of committee appointments. Col.
Mills, however, was not on hand. The
Mills men are very bitter at the treat
ment their leaders have received, and
are not placated by the small places
given to the Mills supporters. The
southern men severely criticize the fact
that the north has three-fourths of the
important committee places. They say
that the speaker, in his lnxiety to be
