. WASHINGTON, March 15-Either the
members of the senate committee quoted
in, these dispatches yesterday, or the per
sons who reported what they said, seem to
have been talking at random, for the COM
mittee not only didn't wait for the Repub-
licans to complete their work on the stand
ing committees before giving out the as
sign, lent but when given out they proved
to be practically what had been published
This would seem to show that the MEM
particularly to secrecy are peculiarly liable
TO gairulity--provided that yesterdays re-
port was correct.
- Some Additional Chairmahships.
The list given in these dispatches yester-
day was correct as far as it went, but there
was one omission that was singnificant-the
committee on mines and mining. Stewart
2 Rep, was chairman of this committee I'M
sder Republican rule, is as well known
a radical free silver man and was permit
ted to retain the Craftsmanship by the DEM
ocratic steering committee. No other Re
publican was done such an honor. There
are one or two other chairmanships that
may be noted as follows: George, agricul-
ture; Turpie, census coast defense, Gordon;
national banks, Mitchell of Wisconsin.
Discussing the Elective Oficers.
There was prevailing sentiment in the
caucus committee in favor of a speedy re-
organization of the clerical and executive
force of the senate and the sentiment took
tangible shape Immediately after the adj
journment of the caucus, when the COM
mittee met in Ransom's room for the
purpose of considering the subject.
The Geographical Division.
The south gets thirty-one of the chair
manships, the north and west thirteen and
the Populist senators four. The Repub-
lican committee which is arranging the
minority represent ation on the committees
was at work again yesterday and its report
will be ready for presentation to the Re
publican caucus. Eleven chairmanships
of committees of minor Importance will be
given to Republican senators. The Repub
hcans decline to give out anything. 1t is
said that there has been quite pressure
brought to bear upon the committee to re-
move Stewart from the Repu blican repre-
sentation on the committee on appropria-
tions and it is not unlikely that this will
be done in view of the fact that he has
been kept by the Democrats as chairman
of the committee on mines and mining.

Danger Past AT Ionia.

IoNIA. Mich, March danger from
the high water at this point is past. The
water is subsiding rapidly. The factories,
however, will not be able to resume bust
ness for week, if they do then. After a
two hours search for William SpeckiD,
who was thought drowned Monday night,
it was found that he had crawled out of
the water and gone to bed without notify
ing his brother watchmen of his escape.
Reports from Muir, Portland, Grand Ledge
and other points along the Grand river,
except at tie lower part, show that the
danger there also is over and that the
waters are falling.

The following letter on arsenical poi
soning through green candles was con-
tribuied To The Times in March, 1889.
10y Major Leadbetter. chief constable of
Denbighshire;
A curious case came under my notice
lately which. think. is Of public value.
A children's party and Christmas tree
resulted in most OF the little people and
many of the older ones being seized
with symptoms of mineral poisoning.
The fact OF several who were present
who had not partaken of food or liquid
of any kind being in the number of those
affected directed my attention to the col
ored candles on the tree.
These | had examined 10y the county
analyst. Mr.. Lowe, of Chester. whose
report is TO the effect that the green can
dies were colored with arsenical green
10 the extent that every eight candles
would contain one grain of arsenious
anhydrite. He further reports that the
red candles were colored with verlnilion.
There is no doubt, therefore, that we
have not further TO seek for an explana-
tion Of the symptoms-a crowded room
with the atmosphere charged with ar
senical and mercurial fumes sufficiently
accounting for it. 1t is only fair to state
that learn the candles We're not of Eng
lish manufacture and were bought with
