ARRANGING SENATE COMMITTEES.
A BAsELEss STORY OF FRICTION AMONG THE RE
pIrRIICANS-TuE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.

n
PUBLICANS-THE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.
Washington Dec. 8 (SpeciaD-A story was put In
circulation today to the effect that the Republican
Senator's were having trouble the appointment OF
committeeman to fill the various vacancies which have
occurred since last session. Senator Sherman, the
chairman of the caucus selected committee OF nine
to fix up a list Of appointments those OH the list being
Cullom OF Illinois; Mitchell, OF oregon; Hale, oil
Maine: Cameron OF Pennsylvania; Plumb, Of Kansas
SAWYER of Wisconsin; Hawley, Of Connecticut; Teller
OF Colorado, and Carey, Of Wyoming. 1t was said
that the far Northwestern Senators were dissatisfied
that they had not larger representation on the COM
mttee but 1t turned out that they had simply asked
for one appointment that of Senator Carey, ana taf
Mr. sherman had concurred In this wish with entire
promptness and cordially.
With senators Sawyer, CullOm, Plumb, Carey Teller
and Mitchell on the committee the interests of all parts
of the West are likely to be carefully looked AFTER
There is always good deal Of friction developed Ill
any effort to reaYrange the committees, for senators
are only human and the desirable chairmanshlps
carrying with them desirable quarters at the Capitol
and the services Of the hlgherpriced annual clerks,
never fail TO prove the subject Of much rivalry and
contention among the poorer placed Senator's who aspire
to them. The Republican list will be made up, how
ever, without much difficulty, following the general
principle of seniority of service The nominating COM
mtee in fact hopes to complete its work by tomorrow
or Thursday.
The Democratic Senators to-day reelected Mr.. Cor
man. of Maryland permanent chairman Of the Demo-
cratic caucus and Mr.. Faulkner of West Virginia.
permanent secretary few vacant committee places
on the minority side will be filled by a steering com
mteen and the selections will be announced as soon
as the much fuller Republican list is ready.

THE MASSACHUSETTS DEMOCRATS COULD NOT

Washington Dec. FISHERMAN Ioar, Of Massachn-
SETS when asked why he did not vote for Speaker on
the rolcall to-day, said: "Last fall in an Interview
stated that in the coming contest for the Speaker
ship would vote for candidate who would not
promise to use his influence If elected Speaker against
the consideration Of bad financial legislation ana the
extension of silver coinage. When Mr. Crisp became
the candidate of the party asked him to give me this
promise which he declined to do. Having gone into
the caucus i did not to vote for any one else
but its nominee but could not vote for him and Keep
my word. In my judgment, however, he VIII do eA-
acty what he refused to promise to do
Representative Williams, of Massachusetts, was also
asked why he did not vote for Mr.. Crisp. He said !:
did not vote the rolca for Speaker for the sole
reason that could not do and keep faith with the
people of Massachusetts,. In the last campaign took
he position distinctly that would not support any
man for the Speakership who did not express himself
In favor Of the suppression Of feeconage legislation

self and though opportunity has been given him to do
So he remains silent the question: as he has right

SENATE ELECTION CONTESTS.

MEssRs DUBOIS AND CALL SWORN IN-cAsEs TO
BE INVESTIGATED BY THE COMMITTEE.
Washington, Dec. (speciaD.-The Idaho ana
Florida election contests were practically settled 10
day I'm the Senate-at least for some time to comedy
the swearing in Of Messrs. Dubois and Gail. Inc
claims OF Messr Claggert and Davidson were referred
to the Committee on Privileges and Elections for cx-
animation with instructions to report upon them later
in the session. 1t Is extremely improbable, however,
that either OF the contestants will ever be able to make
ont case strong enough 10 secure favorable !udg-
ment by the Committee
The Committee on Privileges md Elections Is now
charged with looking into the titles OF three Sen
ators who are active members OF the body-Messrs.
Call Dubois and Chilton-and q question is likely to
be raised against Mr. Brice OF Ohio, who Is charged
with not having been inhabitant OF that State at
the time he was chosen senator. But no member
OF the Senate whose name Is now entered on te roll
seems TO be in any grave danger Of losing his seat by
the vote OF his felow-Senators.

Folger the Naval Chief Of Ordnance has received an
interesting report from Commander Jewell, the officer
in charge OF the torpedo station at Newport, X. L.,

many valuable tests at the station during the year. but
the results not always made public until they are
sustained by trials that approach more nearly the
conditions Of actual service than is possible at Newport
This is true especially OF smokeess powder, In the
manufacture OF which both the Army and Navy are

from the confidential reports that find their way the

such samples OF smOkeless powder have been sent
TO America however. show less perfect results than
the domestic product
In fact, so excellent have been the firing results
with the powder made at Newport that the repre-
sentatves Of foreign services who members Of
legations in this city have resOrted to various means
to samples Of the powder developed by naval
officers in this country. Commodore Foleer is Justly
sanguine of the future OF this powder and said TO
The Tribune correspondent that he believed the use
of gunpowder would be abandoned in short time in
guns OF sixnch calbre and below, and that II would
be replaced by OF the forms Of So
called smokeess powder.

Sneak Thieves Fooled in Their Efforts AT
a Residence Friday Evening.


An audacious attempt was made by
burglars early Friday evening to rob the
residence of Mrs. Q. G, Tatnall, No.
1904 Tatnall street. All of the family
were out of the house at the time but
Mrs. Tatnall and two servants. On en-
tering her bed room Mrs. Tatnall was
startled by the appearance of a mans
figure partly concealed behind some fur
niture. The glimmer of match was
also noticed in the dusk. Harrylng
down stairs Mrs. Tatnall gave some
orders to the servants in regard to
watching the windows. Word was tel
ephoned to the police station and Off
GERS Ingram, Derrickson and Emmons
quickly arrived at the house.
Officer Ingram proceeded upstairs
while the Others watched outside the
building. The bedroom door was found
locked and on being forced open no one
was discovered. Furniture, however,
was found scattered around and there
was evidence of an escritoire having
been pillaged. The superstition is that
the thief, on being discovered by Mrs.
Tatnall quietly stole down stairs after
her having first locked the door in order
to mislead those who would search for
him afterwards. At any rate he got
away without being seen. Two strange
men had been noticed by Mrs. Tatnall
idling about the neighborhood during
the afternoon. Nothing of value has
been missed from the house.

CHICAGO, May 4.-Parishoniers of the
Roman Catholic Church, ut the corner
of Laurel and Vane streets, engaged in
a fight last night but for the prompt
action of the police considerable blood
shed and probable loss of life would
have occurred. The congregation has
been divided over the action of the bis
hop in the case of Father Seller. He
left the church some time ago and a
successor was appointed. Last night
after service nearly 3,0o0pcople gathered
in front of the church and lively argu-
ment was started between the contend
ing factions. From words the crowd
came to blows and encouraged BY the
cries Of approval of the women In the
crowd a hot battle with bare knuckles
took place between q dozen or more OF
the ring leaders of the two parties.
A riot was imminent when some one
turned in call for the patrol wagon
and wagon load of officers from the
thirty-fifth station proceeded to the
rescue. At the sight of the wagon the
crowd broke and run with the excep-
ton of about so men, who continued to
call out words Of encouragement to the
men who were lighting. The fight was
broken up by The police and ID men
arrested and locked up at this station.
