will be satisfied If il can be Thomas VI. Coahley,

reason for this indifference TO office on tie part OF
the delegation is frankly stated by General spinola
He and several other members who have served two or
three terms are anxious to be charen OF committees
in the next Congress- and will try TO deliver twenty
three votes IN the Democratic caucus to the candidate
for speaker who will promise TO satisfy Their more OF
less modest demands. Mr. spinola puts himself down
for the Committee on Military Affairs. Ir Flower
he thinks ought TO be chairman of the Committee on
Banking and Currency, and Mr. Cummings, another
Tammany colleague, ought to succeed Mr. FarqnharN

For the last twenty years Deacon
White, as he is familiarly called, has

circles, and the news of his suspension
comingso suddenly and unexpectedly,
produced shock that was all the more

to long speculation in corn, not in

by an unsuccessful endeavor to corner
the corn market. The climax Of to-
days catastrophe has Incorporating
