AS nearly as can be gathered from the
expressions of many Senators the assign

on Appropriations and Finance, but the

their requests. There is no vacancy in
the case of the Finance Committee and

the agriculture and forestry, coast de-
fenses, epidemic diseases, mines and
mining, quadro-centennial; Dubois to
manufactures, enrolled bills, imlnigra-

name of Senator Kyle does not appear
upon the list, although Senator Peffer,
his Alliance colleague, is placed on five
ommittees-claims, census, improve
lnent of the Mississippi River rail
road, and civil service. 1t is learned that
Senator Kyle was approached with q view
OF ascertaining his preferences, but his
response was non-conmittal, and vaguely

and Democratic caucuses. Doubt has
