CONSIDERABLE DISGUST
Said to be Felt Among Republican
Over Judge Woods Appointments.

Said to he Felt Among Republicans
Over Judge Woods Appointment.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2t.--The Times
prints the following: Lawyers and
judges were quietly conferring all day
over the nomination of Judge Woods of
Indiana as judge of the United States
circuit court. Quite number called
on Judge Gresham of the circuit bench
to ascertain his views, but that gentle
man was reticent. But that he was
Disguised was apparent to every caller.
He could scarcely realize that such a
nomination had been made and to some
of his intimate friends he is said to have
expressed himself as much displeased
with the presidents choice. One ad-
mirer of Judge Gresham of considerable
prominence, man whose voice was
heard in the national Republican con-
vention in Chicago in 1888, said: "I
have reason TO believe that Judge
Gresham will never serve on the circuit
bench with Judge Woods. He will re-
sign first. Should the Indiaia man be
confirmed Judge Gresham will take it
as personal insult from the president
and the Republican party, and in case
Harrison is renominated he will quit
the bench and perhaps before that event
becomes possible

PIERRE, 6. D., Dec. 2l-The act Of
congress which gave the president
power to declare the Sioux reservation

Sioux Indians must give their consent

The halfbreed Indians now claim that
IL the decision is upheld declaring them
not Indians, then the necessary number
of names were not secured by the COM
mission, and the reservation was never
legally opened. Large numbers of FL

blood has yet been shed, though it is re

whites off from their claims with their
guns. Two islands in the river opposite
Pierre held by halfbreeds have been
gobbled up by whites. They are con-
sidered very valuable.

The Committee of tho Last House VIII
stand for the Present One.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 2i.-The meeting
Of the committee on rules was not held
until short time before the time fixed
for calling the house to order, Messrs.
McMillin and Reed being tardy in their
ARRIVAL. When they did reach the
speakers room business was speedily
transacted. The committees provided
for by the rules of the Fifty-frst con-
gress were ordered to be reappointed by
the speaker. There was no change in
list made. At this meeting the mem
bership of the ways and means commit-
tee was increased to fifteen in order to
provide places for certain gentlemen
who could not otherwise, at least, be
satisfied. This was the only regular
committee that was increased, Several
of the select committees, notably that
on world fair, were increased some
what. The list of committees, MIR.
Crisp announced to his colleagues, were
ready for announcement to the house
next Wednesday.

the report Of the committee on rules as
to standing committees. In connec-
ton with the report Mr.. McMillin pre-
sented an order directing the speaker to
appoint the following select committees:
Reformed civil service. election of pres
ident, vice president and representatives
in congress, thirteen members each;
alcoholic liquor traffic, emigration and
naturalization, irrigation of arid lands
and quadro-centennial, eleven members
each: ventilations and acoustics, seven
each. After the report had been read
Mr.. McMillin stated that the changes
made by the committee had not been
many. The committee of ways and
means had been increased from thirteen
to fifteen. because since the committee
was fixed at the former number the
membership Of the house had largely
grown and the Importance Of the COM
mite made it fit that it should keep
pace in size A concurrent resolution
was adopted that congress adjourn on
Dec. 90 until Jan. 8.

MILLS WOULDN'T TAKE IT.

Second Place ON the WAYS and Means
Commitree Declined by Him.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2f.-Mr. Mills has
been offered second place on the ways
and means committee, together with the
chairmahship of another important COM
mittee, and he has declined to accept
such an assignment. The tender was
made in letter from Speaker Crisp.
1t is said to have been perfectly courte-
ous in tone and otherwise unexception-
able, but Mr.. Mills would not have it.
An answer to the proposition will reach
Speaker Crisp sometime during the day.
In it Mr.. Mills will say he has served ON
the ways and means committee for ten
years; that he was chairman in the
Fiftieth congress, and that If any reason
exists why he should not beat the head
OF the committee the same reasons will
prevent the acceptance of subordinate
place ON the committee Notwithstand-
ing this refusal Of Mr.. Mills to serve ON
the ways and means committee, it is
said that Speaker Crisp win appoint
him chairman Of the other committee

as proposed. ratner that on posromces
and postroads, commerce, merchant
marine and fisheries. Close friends Of
Mr.. Mills and the speaker both agree
that Mr.. Mills understands he will not
be appointed chairman Of the committee
on ways and means, although Mr.. Mills
admirers still hope that the speaker will
thus honor him. A report has been cur
rent among Mr.. Mills friends that Gov
ernor Hill and other politicians, alarmed
by the sentiment aroused over the re-
ported intention of the speaker not to
place his old chairmanship at the dis
posal OF Mr.. Mills, had sent an envoy to
Washington to present to Mr.. Crisp
their arguments why it would be bad
party policy to thus treat the former
leader Of the majoriy in the house. 1t
was also said that this envoy was no less
a parsonage than ex-Secretary Whitney.
Mr.. Crisp and his friends say they have
heard of the arrival of no such person,
and are free to express their opinion that
no such person can be found in the city.

Southern Representative Oppose His
Plan or Appointing Northern Men
to the Best Places.
A Rumor that Mills Would Get the
Ways and Means Chairmanship
Flatly Denied.
Prominent New Englanders Say Free
Silver Legislation Would Be
Fatal Error.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 81. - Speaker
Crisp's plan to put Northern men at the
head Of the ways and means and appro-
priation committees is meeting with
considerable opposition. The effort ut
the displacement of one of the proposed
chairmen seems to be directed more
against Mr.. Holman than against Mr..
Springer, although it must be aclrnowi-
edged that the friends of Mr.. Mills were
candidly asserting that he would not
only be offered the craftsmanship of the
ways and means committee, but he
would accept it. It was said that Mr..
Mills had been offered the Craftsmanship
under pledge that he would not sub
init any general tariff bill, and this fact
alone tended somewhat to discount the
story. No foundation could be found
for the story, and indeed it was denied
most emphatically by those who are
known to be in the speakers counsel.
They say that Mr.. Crisp had not deviated
from his original intention in regard
to those chairmanships. At least
two prominent Southern senators
slabored for some time with the speaker
in order to induce him not to appoint
two Northern men, but their views were
not sufficient TO induce the speaker to
change his mind. Another interesting
development in the committee situation
is the presence in Washington of ex-
Representative Collins. of Massaohu-
sets, who was chairman of the Demo
cratic committee of that state. Mr..
Collins had quite long conference with
the speaker, in which the present politi-
cal status of New England was thor
eughly discussed. Mr.. Collins Is under
stood to have told the speaker that it
would be ruinous to the Democratic
party in New England and throughout
the East IL any free silver legislation
passed the house at this session. There
is no question but that the New Eng
Land Democrats In congress feel that not
only their election, but the continued
success of the party in their section de-
pends upon the absence of any silver
Legislation during this session. The
feeling against passing of any silver
legislation is growing in the house, and
it is doubtful whether silver bill
would be passed If it were to be report
ed. A plan is now being formulated
and quietly discussed among the MEM
bers, which, il it meet with favor will
be introduced with the end In view of
practically disposing Of the entire silver
question.
