can distribute among the Congressman who
supported him. ranging from $500 10 $4,000
The hardest fight will, in all probability, be
made on the doorkeepership.
III Tammany Hall decides to support Mr..
Turner his chances are good although, in any
case. little fight will be made on him The
light will come from the south and west.
and the name of ex-Congressman Moore of
Texas Is mentioned as the center around which
the opposition will form. Mr.. Moore is not vet
an avowed candidate. but il is understood that
In case he failed to get the appointment of col
iector OF the port at Galveston his
intention was to make the canvass
for doorkeeper. Yesterday the Galveston
appointment was made and the appointed 8
name was not Moore. Whether it be with Mr..
Moore or some one else the south will fight
hard for the doorkeepership.
The claim is that southern Congressman
being debarred from so much patronage around
the departments on account of the ''old soldier
regulation" are entitled to dispense some of
the many positions under the doorkeeper Of the
House.
THE HOUSE COMMITTEES.
The reorganization of the new House COM
mittees is matter Of the gravest interest. The
speaker will have, without interfering with his
10 appoint. 1t is not thought. however. that
the matter will rest there, and many changes
are looked for
Mr.. McMillin Of Tennessee. it is said. has
peen selected as the floor leader Of the democ-
racy, and Mr.. Wilson Of West Virginia will be
chairman OF the committee on ways and means,
succeeding Mr.. Springer. 1t is not generally
thought that Mr.. Holman will be reappointed
chairman OF the committee on appropriations.
MI. Sayers OF Texas is frequently and earn
estiy mentioned as the next chairman Of this
important committee, as is also Mr. Dockery Of
Missouri Mr.. Tarsney OF that state has been
making strong running for the pension chair
manship, and at latest advices had no publicly
announced opponent
Or interest to the District is the chairman
snip OF the District committees In the Sem

committee. Mr.. Hemphill, the old chairman
OF the House committee. is not a member of
the new House. Mr.. Heard and Mr. Richard

spoken OF In connection with the position. A
new man, however, is a possibility.

FEARFUL OF A FLOOD,
East Liverpool. Ohio, for Several Hours
Waited for q Reservoir to Burst.

East Liverpool, Ohio, for Several Hours
Waited for Reservoir to Burst.
EAST LIVERPOOL, ONO, July IA feeling
akin to CONSERVATION was created here yester-
day morning when it became known that the
lower reservoir, situated the hillside $50 feet
above the eastern part Of the city, was in immi-
nent danger of collapse. The reservoir con-
tains about 3,OOO,OOO gallons of water, and
should it burst would involve in destruction q
number Of manufacturing establishments
At q late hour last night the situation was
growing momentarily more critical the water
pouring in from rapidly growing fissure in
the wall in torrents. After several hours Of
apprehension, during which the residents in the
line OF the threatening deluge had mostly re-
moved from their houses, the water was safely
lowered until the danger point WAS passed
The assures in the hill, caused by an incipient
landslide, continue to threaten the safety Of
that section Of the city. This had rendered the
reservoir practically useless as no precautions
can be taken, and any attempt to fill it would
almost certainly result in its complete destruc-
ton.

still on the Ragged Edge

The President has acted on the case Of Paw
Inspector Stevenson of the navy, but in such
. way, however. that it stands in practically
the same condition that it did when the officer
was first examined for promotion about a year
ago. This is the third time that the President
has disspproved the recommendation of ex-
aiming boards for the promotion of this Off
Ger, and the Secretary of the Navy has now de-
cided to order him before still another board
for further examination, pending which he will
retain his place at the head of the list of pay
inspectors and block all promotions below him.

Silver Miners Threatening to Close the
Mines Charged With Insincerity.
CHrYENNE. WYo., July Mayor Charles H.
Burritt Of Buffalo, Wyo., spent several days in
Denver endeavoring to ascertain just what the
feeling Of the Colorado mine owners is in re-
gard to the outlook for silver In an interview
Mr.. BurrItt said:
Although the owners Of the smelters and
the mining men have given notice that mines
in Colorado will be closed down and thousands
of men thrown out of employment on account

pose of threatening the bimetallists In the east
into greater activity in the interest Of free
coinage. The silver producers propose to i'm
prove the opportunity to advance the cause Of
the white metal"
SILVER CIrY, N. M, July The sudden
drop in the price Of silver has caused
the suspension Of operations in practically all
the silver mines in New Mexico. The mines
at Georgetown. Lone Mountain and Hanover
were closed down yesterday. Less than a
half dozen mines which produce silver alone
can be operated in the territory with silver at
its present price. No more than half Of the
silver mines in the territory have been In oper-
alton this year. but the closing down Of the re-
naming ones will be . serious blow to the min
ing interests Of the territory.
PUEBLO, Col, July 1.-The depression in the
price of silver is already beginning to make its
effects felt in Pueblo. All the smelters Of the
city have advised their ore buyers in the
various mining camps of this and
adjoining mining states to make no more
contracts for ore. Yesterday between fifteen
and twenty Of the principal mercantile houses
sent orders to the eastern trade canceling all
orders for fall goods. They state that the re-
duced price Of silver will close the mines and
smelters. throwing many thousands Of men out
OF employment, Gripping the railroads and de-
pendent industries and mining trade.

Some Sweeping Changes Said to Be Con-

1t is rather understood that some changes
will shortly be made in the officials at the
weather bureau. So far no action has been
taken in connection with Assistant Attorney
General Coiby's report on the investigation into
the workings Of the bureau Whether the con-
templated changes will have reference to this
report or not is an undecided matter, but in
general way the changes it is thought will have
reference to a desire Of Secretary Morton to
have officials more fully in sympathy with the
administration.
The rumors today point to a pretty clean
sweep at the bureau, and the cyclone il is said
win carry along with il Chief Executive Clerk
Mclaughlin, who was suspended by Prof. Har-

No actual substantiation Of the contemplated
changes could be found today, although it is

C1cISSATr, July I-George s. Crawford
president Of the Crawford Mill and Lumber
Company, before daybreak yesterday morning
committed suicide by taking poison. This he
did to avoid the disgrace of an arrest on the

levied on the property Of the Crawford Com
pany, taking possession of the two concerns.
Crawford was one OF the leading lumber mer-
chants in Ohio.
