MR.. PLUMB,s COMMITTEE VACANCIES.

HIS DEATH.

CHANGES LIKELY TO BE MADE on ACCOUNT OF
HIS DEATH.
Warrington, Dec. 81 SpeciaD.-The death OF Senator
Plumb has made vacant several important places on
the Senate committees, and further partial rearrang Sc
ment Of assignments the Republican side may now
be necessary. Mr.. Plumb was chairman OF the Com
mittee on Public Lands, place OF great responsibility
and Of wide opportunity for directing and controlling
legislation This post is also Of peculiar value TO
Western public man. bringing him into direct contact
with projects Of especial interest to Western con-
sttuencythe opening up Of new territory to settle
ment the purchase OF Indian lands the reclamation OF
forfeited railroad grants and the modification in a
thousand ways Of the intricate and fareaching system
Of public land administration. 1t was to his grasp
upon the details OF all legislation Of this sort proposed
In Congress- that Mr. Plumb owed In large part his
powerful influence In the Senate. In his committee
he was easily master, and no public land logis-
ation could hope success in Congress without his
consent and cooperation. Mr.. Dolph, OF Oregon. is
left the ranking member Of the committee. and will
undoubtedly succeed TO the craftsmanship. The other
Republican members MessS. Teller. PadoocK
Allen and Pettigrew. Mr. PettiGrew was put on two
years ago as an extra committeeman. ana no ne"
member need now be added though no doubt one NAV
BE- II Mr. Dolph takes the Committee 0 Public
Lands he will have 10 relnquish the Craftsmanship OF
the Committee ON Coast Deiences. Mr.. Squire. OF
Washington and Mr.. Higgins Of Delaware. are both
on this committee. and one of them may be promoted
TO the head Of it If Mr.. Dolph accepts the transfer
to the Kansas senator's former place.
Mr.. Plumb ii has been said, owed much OF MS
influence in the senate to his craftsmanship OF the Pubic
Lands Committee. He held an equally powerful ana
commanding place the Committee on Appropria
tons. The five Republican members OF this committee
have control Of all the money bills which pass the
Senate. and their ability to affect any ana al legis
lstion In one way or another Is enormous Mr PiumD
was the third member In rank the committee. and
had control OF the Agricultural and District OF Column
bis and occasionally the Forifcaions Appropriation
bills. But his interest and efforts were by no means
confined 10 these three measures. ana there was
scarcely any appropriation bill OF any sort passed
which he did not have some hand In Shaping anu
completing. He had taken especial interest IN re-
cent years IN measures affecting the District OF
