WASHINGTON GOSSIP
Speaker Crisp in no Hurry
 to Name His Committees.
THE CHANGES OF MIR. SPRINGER
Impression Prevailing that He Will be
 at the Head of Ways and Means.

NIT. Mills Regarded Out of the Ques-
 tion-Work Proceeding on the New Code
 of Rules, and the Committee on Same
 to be Announced To-morrow-Y Yester-
 days Proceedings in the Senate.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 15. - Speaker Crisp has not yet announced the Con- mittee on Rules, which he must do be- fore Congress adjourns for the holiday recess if he would have the full list of committees ready to submit to the House upon the reassembling in Janu- ary The impression still prevails gen. erally that Messrs. Springer and Nc Milan will be the Democratic associ . ates of the Speaker on that committee, but no off cial sanction has been given to it yet. The general assumption that Messrs. Reed and Burrows, or Reed and Henderson, of Iowa, will be the Republican minority has no more substantial foundation. In conversa- tion this morning with 8 reporter, Speaker Crisp's m amer carried with it the impression that it was by no means sure that MT. Reed would be member of that committed.
 Whenever the committee is appointed, however, it will find great part of it's work practically accomplished. Mir. Crisp and a number of the more skilled parliamentarians of the Democratic side of the House are in daily consultation n over the Code of Rules. It is said that they will make but few changes in the code adopted by the last Congress-. Tomorrow the committee will doubt less be named at the session of the House, and before adjournment for the holiday recess will report the list of committees, with their duties and limit of membe rship, so that the House and the Speaker will know just what he has | to do during the holiday recess in the way of committee assignments. When | the Speaker is ready to announce his | full list of committees, the Com mittee on Rules will probably have its code of | rules for the government Of the dous 3 ready to submit.
 | Nothing definite can be learned from the Speaker regarding the selection of 8 chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means MT. Mi Ills, according to all 1 accounts, has not indi cated in any way his desire in come ction therewith, and n one of his friends seem to be able tC speak for him. Whether or not he will be offered the position is question, bu tbe impression prevails that AIT spring CT will be named.
 Gossip makes Mir. McRae, member from the Third Arkansas District, Chair man of the important Committee or Public Buildings and Grounds Mr. Nc | Rae has been in Congress since ISSo and is credited with having been the first representative to propose MT. CrisI for Speaker two years ago.
 Mr. Crisp will remain in Washington until Congress adjourns for the holida! recess, when accompanied by his wife he will leave for his home in Americus

THE SENATE COMMITTEES.

Assignments Made by the Republicans
 Generally Regarded as Satisfactory.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 15-The Republi- can Senatorial Caucus Committees, which was charged with the arrange ment of the Republican representation upon the Senate committees, completed it's work yesterday morning and report ed to a caucus which was called together before the Senate met.
 As nearly as can be gathered from the expressions of many Senators, the assignments made by the committee are generally satisfactory.
 It was found impracticable to meet all of the expectations of the new Sena- tors, but the dissatisfaction that exists is believed to 0e confined to less than half dozen Senators.
 The Caucus Committee assigned Sen ator Cullom to the vacancy on the Ap- propriations Committee, thus giving satisfaction to the Worlds Fair people; and to meet the request of the Pacific Coast Senators that they be given representation on that important com mittee added one to the me m bership and assigned Senator Stewart to the new place.
 Senator Pettigrew, who has always been regarded as friendly to the World 5 Fair project, has been assigned to the
  Quadro- Centennial.
 The list as arranged is subject to some changes, as it is understood when the caucus adjourned yesterday that Senators are at liberty to exchange places if they can make mutually satis- ia ctory arrangements.
 Among the many bills introduced in the Senate yesterday were tha follow ing:
 By Mr. Squires-For 8 monument to Gen. U. s. Grant in the city of Wash ington
 By MT. Washburn-Defning options in 'sfutures'' and imposing taxes there on
 By Mr. Hale-To establish a perma- nent census office and to provide for taking the twelfth and subsequent cen suses.
 By Mr. Gorman-For the relief of night inspectors at New York and Baltl- more.
 By MT. Mitchell-To prohibit abso- lutely the coming of Chinese into the United States whether they are Chinese subjects or otherwise.

New Jerseys Senators.

TRENTON, N. J., Dec 15.-Advance sheets of the Legislativ manual give some interesting statistics regarding the State Senators of he next session There will be sixteen Democratic Sena- tors and five Republicans. There are five lawyers, all of whom are Demo- crats; four merchants, three farmers, two manufacturers two real estate dealers, an hotel keeper, an edi tor, a brewer, a contractor and a gentleman of entire leisure. While the Republicans will have no lawyer they will hay e Senator Gardner, whose fifteen years of experience in the Senate enables him to cope with all the legal questions that may arise. Fourteen of the twenty-on one Senators are natives of New Jersey. Five were born in New York, one in Pennsylvania, and one (Mr. Hudspeth) in Canada. The oldest Senator in years is MT. Fowler of Cum berlaud. He keeps temperance tavern at Vineland, and is Fl. MT. Brown of Monmouth is 69 years of age. Twelve Senators are over 40 and nine are under that age. MT. Rogers of Camden is the youngest, 34 years old. Senators Barker, Cornish and Marsh are each 35. The average age of the Senators is A.

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1891-12-15

SPEAKER CRISP may have made some promises before his election as speaker few men ever occupied the position who bad not done so in their canvass for votes, but he has made few, if any, promises since his election He lets the other fellows do the talking while he does double duty as a thinker; he knows that it will be impossible to so arrange the committee assignments that all the democratic members of the house will be pleased, and, if those who enjoy his confidence may be relied upon he will devote himself principally to the task of making an equitable distribu- tion of the chairmanship and places upon the important committees be- tween the various sections of the coun- try; believing that no representative will allow his personal disappointment to make him angry when he sees that his section is fully represented. It is now almost certain that the lists of commit tees will not be announced until after the Christmas recess, and it is expected that Speaker Crisp will, after all the members have been given a chance to be heard, retire to his home in Georgia, or to some other place, where he can de- vote his time during the recess to mak- ing up the committees.

Pullman CnmpanY Beaten.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 15. An opi nion was filed in the United States Circuit Court yesterday by Jul ges Acheson and Butler dismissing the action of the Pullman Palace Car Company to have the original bill in equity, filed some time ago against the Central Transpor- tation Company, dismissed, and allow ing the motion made by the transporta- tion company, asking that the latter be permitted to file cross bill. The cross bill asks for an accounting by the Pull man company of all the profits derived since the agreement of 1870 from the property transferred to it, and that the amount found due be paid over.
