Ton Republicans and Three
for the Populista
Another Fruitless ballot for United states
senator-But Little Work Done IN
the senateI

The house committees announced by The
speaker yesterday, give to the republicans
ten chairmanships, to the democrats thir-
teen, and to the populists three. The COM
mittees with republican chairmen are ways
and means; appropriation and claims; edu-
cation; military affairs; affairs OF cities; ap-
portionment and approximation; railroads
and transportation; internal Improvements;
water rights and irrigation; state boards
and officers. The democrats head judiciary;
agriculture and stock growing; mines and
minerals; towns, counties and highways;
interpretations and manufactures; rules and
joint rules; printing; en~Rrosament; labor;
game and fsh; federal relations; public
lands, and enrolment. The populists have
chairmen for elections int privileges; inn
migration. and state institutions. The
populists have the controlling votes on the
sommittees on ways and means. privileges
and elections, state Institutions, and labor.
On most OF the other committees the chair
men represent the political complexion.
Not as great interest was shown in the
senatorial balloting az on the day previous.
Tho fact that the democrats had not made
a caucus nomination was pretty generally
known. and az a result it was felt shat there
would be no election. The ballotins
showed only slight changes. Sanders
dropped back one vote owing to q pair,
CLARK gained one. Lockhart. who had vot cd
for Hauser on Wednesday. Hauser lost
