WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug %. $685.
The committees of the House were an
nounced yesterday. They present many
interesting changes, not the least Of
which is the appointment Of W. L. Wi
son Of West Virginia, as Chairman of Tbs
Committee on WAYS and Means, while
| Nj. Springer, who occupied that position.
is placed at the head of Banking and
| Currency. Mr.. Wilson is au ardent
| tariff reformer, and his appointment has
been discounted for some time. Mr..
| Savers of Texas is placed Mt the head OF
the Appropriation Committee. a place
which he is most excellently quail
fed to I'LL, ana Mr.. Holman Is no
longer sven a member OF the committee.
This Is perhaps the change that will ex-
cite the most criticism. but to those VINO
know how unpopular MIR. Holman is and
how incapable he is of commanding the
respect of the House, the change will be
instantly recognized as being for the
good of the country.
The New jersey delegation fares most
exce1lently. The State gets Two CHAIR
manships. Mr.. G~eissenhainer goes TO
the head of the COMMITTEES on lmmigra-
lion, and Representative English OF
~ w R0lS bttG UVttOA SbatA AtA6o Ia
exactly as was expected. He Is at the
head of the Committee or Alcoholic
Liquor Traffic. not an important commit
Tee but one that gives him q pleasant
room. Mr.. Geissenhaincr is in second
place on the Naval Affairs Committee.
aud Mr.. English is also on Private Land
Claims.
Mr.. Cadmus remains upon the District
of Columbia COMMITTEES, the Committee
on Public Buildings and Grounds, a po-
sition which is equal TO Il chairmanship
and which Will enable him to look eftsr
the public buildings at Paterson and
other New Jersey cities. As a New Jer-
sey man is Supervising Architect it was
particularly appropriate that the State
should be represented on this ommtt-
tee.
Mr.. Cornish is on Manufactures. a
place which he particularly desired. Rnd
on Merchant Marine and Fisheries. OF
which COMMITTEES u New jersey Con-
gresham was last year chairman. Mr..
Damn gets two assignments, ona upon
the LABOR Committee aud tue other on
the Committee Of Expenditures upon
Public Buildings, aud Mir. Fielder is
placed upon the COMMITTEES on Invalid
Pensions.
The Republican members are also sat-
isfed with their positions. Mr.. Garduer,
of the Teuth District. is a member OF the
Committee on Postotacss and Post Roads
and Mfr. y~Loudens1sger is on pensions. It
will thus be seen that the delegation has
no reason TO complain. It would have
been a pleasant thing to have hao repre-
sentation on Rivers aud Harbors, but OF
course, the delegation could not expecs
everything.
THE PUBLIC PREMIERSHIP.
Mr.. w. s. Mexican of New Jersey
came down to Washington today to looK
up the Public Partnership. Mr.. Mexican
had hts eye on this place some months
ago bttsrather dropped out of the race
until last Saturday, when he heard some
things that encouraged him. There is a
rumor today that the President Is wait.
ing until the New York State Democratic
Convention is held next month with the
view of offering the position to ex-Public
Printer Benedict Ii the latter should not
be again the Deputy Secretary of State,
the position he now holds. Mr.. Mexican,
however, believes that action will not be
delayed so long, aud mas faith in the In
1usnces which are at work for him. He
thinks that the President will make the
appointment soon after returning TO
Washington, and will continue TO remain
in the fight, although he Is not allowing
himself to lose any sleep while he is wait
