THE NORTHWEST WELL CARED FOR.
1t is apparent from the above list that the
senator's from the northwestern states have
been well taken care OF In the matter Of
chairmanships and places on the important
committees. While Messrs. FELTON,, Du-
bols and Hansborough do not seoure chair
manships they get assignments to commit
tees that originate large part of the i'm
portant legislation of congress.
The name Of Senator Kyle does not ap.
pear upon the list. although Senstor PETER,
his alliance colleague, is gieen four com.
mittee assignments. II is@iearned that
Senator Kyle was approached with view
to ascertaining hts preference. but that his
response was non~commit0l, and vaguely
limited at an expectation that the al
lance senator's would receive committee as-
signments from both the republican and
democratic cauouses. Doubt has also been
cast upon his soundness In republican princi-
pies. So that up to this time the republican
GAUGES has been unable to place him, al
though it may do so tomorrow.
THE DEMOCRATIC REPRESENTATION.
The democratic caucus committee had
the assignment of the minority representa-
tion upon the committees under considera-
tfOn for some hours this aftarnoon and dld
little more than consider the complexion Of
the republican assignments upon the
committees. No action was taken upon any
matters relative to the democratic make,
up of the committee and none of the new
senators were considered IN connection with
possible assignments. The committee will
consider the matter again tomorrow.

SOFIA, Dec 14.-rhe French charge daft

pulsion of Journalist Chadouine as a fla
grant and premeditated violation Of the
treaties existing between France and Bull
garia. The Bulgarian government res
piled that NJ. Chadoulne has been sys-
tematcally sending to the French
press lying and caluminous stories about
Bulgaria; that he had twice before been
threatened with expulsion, but, Disregard
ing the warning, had continued TO throw
discredlt upon Bulgaria abroad aud to cro-
ate trouble within the country; that the
expulsion of NJ. Chadouine was not vio-
lation Of the treaties, inasmuch as mono
were In existence that applied to foreigners
who interfered In the internal politics OF
Bulgaria and finally that the Bulgarian
government was unable to rescind the order
Of expulsion, but hoped tho incident would
not disturb the good relations existing be-
tween Bulgaria and France. Immediately
upon receiving the governments reply NJ.
Tanel proceeded to the foreign ministry
and verbally announced that he had re-
ceived Instructions from tho French gov
ernment TO sever diplomatic relations with
Bulgaria. The event has caused great un-
easiness in political circles.

CRISP STILL ALL AT SEA.
NO CONCLUSION YET REACHED AS
TO MILLS.

A Belief Among the Speakers Friends
That the Principal Craftsmanship

That Ee Win Accept Springer
Wants the Place Bad.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-Spehker Crisn
said to the News correspondent to-day that
be had as yet reached no determination as
to the Craftsmanship of the ways and means
committee or as TO any other Craftsmanship.
He expects to decide the question of how
the committee on rules shall be made up
and who shall be the members
OF IL tomorrow, so as to
announce it on Wednesday, and
so that its report Of the rules, at least SO far
as the names and number of the commit
tees are concerned, may be made on Satur-
day. Ex-Speaker Reed and Mr. McMlllin
will almost certainly TO members of the
committee on rules, which may be increased
by one majority member.
TO HONOR HIS FRIENDS.
One Of Mr.. Crisp's nearest friends an
nounces that some Of Mr.. Crisp's most ar
dent supporters may be made members of
this committee. He mentions Messrs
ONeil OF Massachusetts, Catchings of Mis-
sissippi and Montgomery of Kentucky.
among the number of those considered.
Mr.. Springer is working hard for the chair
manship of the committee on ways and
means. He has not got it yet, but be has
hopes. He has persuaded some of Mr..
Crisp's friends TO ask 1t for him, their chief
argument Being that the chairman must be
anorthern man, and that he is the only
northern man who can ill the place.
REED FAvoRs SPRINGER.
Ex-Speaker Reed hopes Mr.. Springer will
be chosen too. He said to-day that nothing
would give him more pleasure than to see
Mr.. Springer leading the democratic ma
jority. MIR. Crisp's more conservative
friends are urging him to offer the chair
manship to Mr.. Mills, and they believe
that he will do so. Mr.. Bland ex-
poets to be chairman of tho
committee on coinage, Mr.. Holman of ap-
proprlations, Mr.. Herbert OF naval affairs,
Mr.. Blanchard of rivers and harbors, Mr..
McRae Of public lands, Mr.. Cummings of
the merchant marine and Mr.. Blount of
postoff1ces. The speakers great difficulty
continues to be the falt that the southerners
are entitled to the principal chairmanships
and that most of the northerners haven't
experience enough to take them.
