WAS CREIGHTON IN IT?
The Chicago Mail Driver Under
Suspicion.

CHICAGO. Dec. 16.-TOday brought
only faint clues to the perpetrators of
last nights sensational mail robbery.
One conclusion is that the robbers were
of the expert class. 1t is suspected also
that there were in the gang men for
merly in the postal service. The booty
is now estimated at g, 500. An interest
ing statement is made by woman who
into the alley. She adds that she saw
no robbers. The inference is that the
driver, Creighton, went into the alley of
his own accord. The police accept this
as evidence that Creighton was not alto
gether ignorant of the ambush.

TO stop all purchases of silver by

mintS to the free coinage of all silver
hereafter to be produced from American

ing of foreign silver upon lis by a sys-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-The opening
of the house today, after the holiday of
half a week. was without special inter
est. 1t was generally understood that
no business would be transacted, and
that the meeting would be merely
perfunctOry one, to enable the speaker
to appoint the committee on rules.
Speculation was rife AS to the compost
ton of that committee, and there was
quite large attendance Of members.
but their time was principally en-
plOyed in conversation with applicants
for minor positions, whom they pO-
litely referred to the officers cOntroll-
ing the various departments Of
the house. Speaker Crisp announced
the appointment of the committee on
rules as follows: The speaker, chair
man; MeSsrs. McMillin, CatchngS,
Reed and Burrows.
Mr.. Oates, of Alabama. offered res
oluIiOn providing for the appointment
of a standing committee on order or
business, to consist of fifteen members.
Referred to the committee on rules.
Mr.. Taylor, of Tennessee, rising, said
that it was his mOurnful duty TO an
nOunce the death of his friend and col
legue, Hon. Leonidas c. Houk. who
died suddenly from accidental poison
ing at his home in May last. Mr. Tay-
Tor delivered touching tribute TO the
deceased CONGRESSMAN, and the house
then, as a mark of respect to the men,
DRY Of the deceased, adjourned till Sat
uTday.
McEEiili0 FaVOrs Mills.
The appointment of the house COM
mittee on rules is regarded by members
of the house as n return TO the former
policy OF appointing members of this
committee without reference to their
other committee assignments. Mr.. Me-
Millin, of Tennessee, who is one of the
new members of the rules committee, is
prominent as a tariff refOrmeT, and was
one of the most active members Of the
ways and means committee. lie says,
however, that he is in favor of the APP
pOintment of Mr.. Mills as chairman of
the laSt-named committee. Mr.. Nc
Millin's selection as a member of the
rules committee is aScri5cd to his par
liamentary ability, his effectiveness as a
deUater and the fact that he is person
ally very we'll liked by the members of
the Democratic side, and will, therefore,
be of great assistance in securing the
harmonious adjustment OF any differ
enceS which may arise as to party pol
Icy. Mr.. Catchings. OF Mississippi, is
firm personal friend OF the new speaker.
and was one of the active maagerS of
his canvass. He is an experienced
member of the house. an active worker
and a clear, forcible speaker.
Speaker Crisp said this afternoon
that he hoped to he able to announce
the house committees by Wednesday,
