WASHINGTON, D.. c., August z. 1893
Congressman Fielder arrived here this
morning looking very well after his trip.
Representative Gardner, of Trenton, is
also on hand. The members are very
nicely situated, Representative Geissen-
hainer, the dean or the delegation. has a
pleasant room In the annex of the Airing
lingtou Hotel, looking out upon the
broad plaza on Vermont avenue. Mr..
Cadmus is at the same hotel, although
some of the locSi papers persist in assign
ing him to a private residence on Cor
coran street. Mr.. Dunn. as pre-
out in the suburbs and found
very comfortable quarters at the
old Gales Mansion, at lexington,
IN the extreme northeast section of the
city, where he says the temperature is
ten degrees cooler than it is In the lily.
Mr.. Cornish Is at the Normaudie, DIR.
English is at the Ebpett, where he was
CHARTERED last year. and Mr.. Louden-
slayer is ut Wizards. 1t is thought
probable that Mr.. Gardner will go out to
the private hotel at lexington, where
Mr.. Dunn is located. Congressman
Fielder is at the Normandie.
CONFERENCE OF THE DELEGATION,
The members of the delegation who
were in the city met at loon Yesterday In
Mr.. G~elssenhainer's rooms and spent an
hour or more in social conversation.
The talk vas purely informal, no vote
being taken and no programme being
mapped out. All of the Congressman
had preferences for committee work
it was almost too early to formulate
their desires into & demand for
the reason that the Speaker will be CON-
PEELED to make q thousand shifts before
he finally concludes his labor of assign

contingent does not care to b. put In the
position OF embarrassing him. AT the
same time they know that the Speaker
will take care OF them, and it is more
than likely that the delegation will get
even more this year than it did last.
In the last Congress New Jersey was
on naval affairs, immigration, military
affairs, District of Columbia, war claims,
invalid pensions, Indian affairs. aud
other important committees, in addition
TO the craftsmanship which Mr.. Fowler
enjoyed. This was an assignment of
which no Stale could complain, and the
Speaker is sure to do equally well this
season.
ON H WRONG SIDE.
In the caucus last night the New Jer-
sey delegation voted for DIR. S. S. Yoder,
the former Sergeant at Arms, who was Il
candidate for reelection. II there had
been two more votes in the delegation
DR.. Yoder would have been successful.
but unfortunately ex Representative
Snow of Illinois. who was the rival
candidate. pulled through by q vote OF 96
to 95. As the Sergeant at Arms has not
much patronage the delegation will not
fare as badly as if it had struck the
wrong side OF the DoorkeepershIp fight.
Fortunately for them there WAS only QUE
side to this fight. Mr., Smith of Texas,
who had maze ii good contest, having
withdrawn as soon as he heard that the
New YORK delegation had deserted Turner
and gone over to Hurt. So the latter had a
waikover. When it comes TO the dispen-
sation of patronage, of course, the New
Jersey members Will see that they get
their share.
