TIE GREAT INTEREST IN THE MATTER
WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec 23-The
Democratic sections of the House were this
morning early filled with members, upon
whose faces there was look of anxious ex-
pectancy and curiosity. Little groups
gathered here and there, discussing the
probabilities and possibilities of the CON-
mittee composition. Although great deal
of credence was placed in the predictions
heretofore made by the press, there was a
general feeling of uncertainty which could
be dispelled only by the official announce
ment of the Speaker. That gentleman was
late in arriving at the Capitol, being evil
IDENTIFY desirous of escaping from the pres
sure for favorable assignment which would
be brought upon him even in tine eleventh
hour.
Little Interest for Republicans.
Everywhere there was an air of anxiety,
except among the Republican members, who
gazed complacently around and now and
then bantered some Democratic colleague
who, according to rumor, would not be a
favorite of fortune. The general curiosity
exhibited upon the floor soon spread to the
spectators in the galleries, and speculation
among them was almost as animated as
among those more personally interested.
When, precisely at noon, the Speaker called
the House to order, he was looking very
much wearied by the arduous task he had
just completed.
In his prayer the Chaplain eloquently re-
ferred to the death of Senator Plumb, of
Kansas. Mr.. E. B. Meredith, Representa-
tive-elect from the Eighth Virginia district,
appeared and took the oath of Office.
