the legislature this morning, and joint
committee was appointed to attend the

until Tomorrow out of respect to the
memory of the deceased senator. The
Speaker announced the committees, and
it is believed he has made the best pos

are given the consideration Of meas
ures before being subjected to vote in
the legislature. The lack of exper-
fenced. strong men in the lower house
has without doubt been felt by the

members to indicate what committees
they would prefer to serve uron, and
has attempted 10 meet these preferences
as far as possible. In this way he has
secured the best of feeling in the House
toward himself.
