CRISP WON'T PRESIDE.

His Friends Prefer to Have Him Fully
Recover Before Coming Out.
WASHINGTON, Jan. Al is definitely
settled that Speaker Crisp will not call the
House to order to morrow when it recon-
venes after the customary Christmas recess.
The speaker continues to improve In health,
but his recovery is very slow and has not
yet progressed far enough 20 make it safe
for him TO leave bis room. The speaker has
not seen any memoer OF the House since
Dec. 20, except Representative Catchings
of Mississippi, with whom be talked for q
few minutes yesterday. Mr.. Catchings told
him there was no necessity FOR his presence
in the House while it was engaged in the
preliminary work df legislation, such as the
introduction and reference Of bills. He ad-
vised the speaker TO rest for q week or more
before resum1Ag his duties as presiding
officer. Nothing was said about q speaker
pro tenn. and Speaker Crisp did not indicate
bis preference. There seems to be a general
belief on the part of the democratic men,
bers that Mr.. MoMillieu Of Tennessee should
be selected as speaker pro TEN. There mad
been talk of caucus Tonight TO select a
vice speaker TO be elected wheA the House re-
assemblies tomorrow but number of in
fiuential members said that they saw no
necessity for a caucus and that none would
be held.

Kerr. Mr.. MoMillin, member of the rules
committee, said tonight that the House
would then proceed to the election of a

next day a resolution will be presented de-
fining the jurisdiction OF the several com
mittees In les islAtive matters. 1t is not ex~
pectsd that it will encounter any opposition.
After its adoption a call of the states for

The Case Not Yet Decided by the

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4-The BOYD -Thayer
case, involving the question Of the citizen
ship of Boyd and as a consequence his eligi,
bility to the Office of governor of Nebraska.
to which he was elected, was not decided
by the United Stases supreme court TO-
day. Aninquiry into the matter deve.op the
fact that only eight Justices sat in the hear
ing or the case, Ju,tice Bradley being alb
sent on account of illness. The premature
announcement that the court had decided
the 7 case in favor Of Boyd by a vote Of to
8 cannot te correct, therefore, as fer
as respects the majority by which the de-
cision is alleged to have been reached. The
Justices, OF course, will say nothing what
ever as to the case IN advance OF the an
nouncement from the bench of their deci-
sion.

somo chance utterance with respect to this
case was overheard and mistaken Cor an
expression with regard t. the Nebraska
