appearance. Neadcck telegraphs that
he will be here tomorrow. The informa-
fion here Is that Mr. Chapman cannot
return for several weeks and perhaps
longer. but his associates will look after
him in the matter Of committee places
The Michigan men share the general
apathy because Of the Fact that the
former speaker and most of the other
old objects Of the house are likely 30 be
reelected without the usual exciting
contests incident to reassembling OF con-
gress
Mr.. Crisp has talked with some Of the
Michigan men in a general way. IL Is
pretty well understood, as % what share
Michigan is 10 have in the leading com
mittees The delegation wants Mr..
Whiting retained on the ways and
means committee. which is by far the
most important committee and is ex-
eeptionally important Just now, owing
10 the proposed revision of the tariff.
Mr.. Whiting has had two interviews
with the speaker. and there is every rea-
son 90 believe that Michigan will again
be honored with a place on thlt com
mlttee.
Judge Chapman viii receive chair
manshIp. although IL is not yet decided
whether he will remain where he was
two years ago, at the head Of the CON-
mittee on the election OF the president
and vice president. or wall be advanced
TO the dignified position of head Of the
foreign affairs committee. The latter
place has been vacated by Mr.. Blount,
~. 10 Haruots and
Chipman is in the line OF advancement.
IL will be especially important at this
session, owing 10 the Haw allan question.
Mr.. Weadock may secure the chair
manship Of the library committee. The
new library Of congress is about COM
pleted. so that the chairmanship will bo
made prominent during the session. Ii
has an unusually large amount OF
patronage connected with IL Should
this change be made. Weadock would
retire from the river and harbor COM
mittee. In which case Mr.. Richardson OF
Grand Rapids would probably succeed
Weadock in looking after Michigan's in
forests in rivers and harbors.
Mr.. Belknap's purpose here is for the
purpose OF contesting the seat Of Rich
ardson. The latter has the advantage
Of being on the rolls, including the pay
rolls.
Burrows will probably remain on the
ways aud means committee, in which
case Michigan will have double repre-
sentation in framing the new tariff bill.
Stephenson. who halls from the upper
peninsula mining district. will probably
land in the committee OF mines and
mining. He has heretofore had good
thing in the rivers and harbors commit
tee. but being a republican. IL is felt
that he can be spared from that com
mittee, and placed whore his mining ex-
perience viii better fit him for work.
Mr.. Moon. who has secured quite a
Michigan reputation on liquor ques.
tions, is slated for place on the CON-
mittee on liquor traffic.

Owing TO Writings important place
on ways and means. he has teen much
sought since arriving. for interviews
Some OF those have not clearly expressed
his views. 30 that Mr. Whiting today
gave The News the following statement;
