WASHINGTON. Dec. l2.-Ldeut Gov.

republicans contemplated keeping David b.
Hill out Of his seat In the Senate because
he prefers to be governor of New York till

man Hoar, Of the Senate committee on
elections, says there is nothing In the story,
and he knows the fact that the Senate is
in session does not affect Gov. Hills status
at all. He has never sent his credentials to
the Senate, has never bad his name put on
the roll, has never been sworn in, and has
never gotten any salary as senator. He is

SAN FRANCISCO. CAL, Dec. 12.-The
state supreme court, by five justices against
two, decided to-day that the present grand
jury of the city and county OF
San Francisco is an Illegal body.
The question came before the supreme
court on an application of
-Assemblyman Elwood Bruner for
writ of prohibition to
restrain Superior Judge Wallace from pro-
ceeding against him under indictments
found by the grand jury, charging Bruner
with malfeasance in office. Chief Justice
Beatty concurred in the opinion that the
grad jury had no legal powers, but
thought the writ Of prohibition not the
proper way to bring the matter before the
supreme court.

CRIsP'S COMMITTEES.

The Speaker Don't Expect to Complete
Them Before the hecess.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-Speaker Crisp this
afternoon said that he was afraid he could
not complete the organization of the COM
mittees before the Christmas recess, though
some OF his friends think the work can be
done In few days after he gets started on
the actual work OF framing them.
NOT GOING AWAY.
Speaker Crisp said this evening that it
was a mistake to suppose that he was going
away to some quiet and unknown spot to
deliberate on the committees. He would
stay here until the Christmas recess when
he would go home for his wife. Nothing
has been decided about the Craftsmanship OF
the ways and means committee. He has
not heard from MIR. Mills, or from any one
authorized to speak for him, whether he
would accept If it was offered to him. IL
is evident that this question must be settled
in the speakers mind before he can settle
the question of making the tender,
but it seems likely that the
tender will be made to Mr.. Mills and ac-
capted, aud that Mr.. Springer will be put
second and succeed Mr. Mills when the lat
ter goes to the Senate in the spring, as
everybody here expects him to do. The de-
clination of Mr.. Forney makes it certain
that Mr.. Holman will be chairman Of the
committee on appropriations. His commits
tee will not, however. get back all the SCAT
tered appropriation bills. The influence of
the memters likely to have those independ-
ent appropriation bills has been too strong
for Mr.. Holman. He will, however, secure
caucus action which will keep down the ap-
preparations all around. The resignation
of Mr.. Culbertson leaves the speaker COM
paratively free to appoint a northern man
chairman of the Judiciary committee, though
Mr. Oats OF Alabama, who stood second on
the democratic list, came to see Mr.. Crisp
promptly this evening about it.

His Identity.


BosToN, MASS. Dec. 12.-The father and
mother Of Henry L. Norcross are now fully
convinced that their son was the man whose
insane act in the Office of Russell Sage re-
suited 10 his own death. Additional evil

the visit Of Norcross' father to his sons
office to-day a letter was found In his desk

parents that he was the bomb-thrower. 1t
is said, however, that in the letter
young Norcross informed his mother that
he was going away on Thursday on I'M
portant business. that II successful be should
return Saturday, but il unsuccessful he
might never return. The parents probably
know now as much about their sons actions
in this matter as ever win be known.

ished this morning that the head of the
man who exploded the dynamite bomb In
Russell Sage's office had been identified as
that of Henry l.. Norcross of Somerville, =,

ing to find out who the bombthrower was
