The judge has talked quite freely with
the newspaper correspondents, as is his
won't He says IL will not require more
than ten days for him to organize all of
the house committees. He was hampered
before by promises incident upon his
hard fight with MIR. Mills. No such con-
ditlon will exist now, as he will have no
opposition for his high office.
CHANGE IN CHArRMANsHIPs.
Wilson, of West Virginia, will go to the
head of the ways and means committee
and Mr.. Holman, who is a narrow
obstructiOnist, and Mr.. Bland, who is a
free coinage crank, will be deposed re-
spectively as chairman of the committees
on appropriations and banking currency.
Thus far the expressions of opinions as
TO what congress will accomplish and
how long the session will last can be little
more than speculation. The meeting be-
tween Mr.. Crisp and the secretary of the
treasury to-day was the first conference
of Importance that has occurred. Their
talk was informal and will no doubt be
followed by other conferences when the
leaders of the party begin to arrive here
AT present those in Washington are pre-
pairing to leave for their homes in
order to arrange for the
August assembling. On one subject there
seems to be a unanimity of opinion among
the members of the House. The repeal
OF the Sherman law, among those who
have been seen, is regarded as certain
But upon the final solution of the finan-
cial problem the views vary.
Mr. Byi-um, ofIndiana is now in Wash
1ngtOn. He stated, to-day, that he would
not be in the race against Mr. Crisp for
the chair. but on the other hand he ex-

Representative Ben Russell went over
to Now York last night in response to
Tammany's invitation to celebrate the
Fourth with that society. He will return
here on Wednesday and spend only day
or two and then return home. He has
been stirring up his postotfloes and striv-
ing to find a place in the consular service
for Editor. Underwood of Camilla who he
declared to the President, placed his
name at the masthead of his paper for
for president in 1889 the day after he was
defeated IN 1Sa9 by President Harrison.
This declaration seemed to please the
President and he remarked that he wonld
try and not forget the doughty Camilla
editor
Hon. Holke Smith seemed to strike the
Asbury Park people all in a heap by his
Grafton to the Sunday-schOol children the
OJnef Jay. Even the New York Sun
opens its columns to a most laudatory re-
port of the seeretary's speech. Mr..
Smith arrived in Washington last night
and, as usual, his Office was besieged to-
day by office-seekers and their friends.
THE PRESSURE FOR PLACES
In speaking of the great pressure upon
him, from home people, Secretary Smith
said to-day that over 400 of the 5000
employees under his management were
civil service appointees That in reality
he had only a few hHndraa places at his
disposal, and Of these .Ge0rgiBns had Sc
cured liberal share, so liberal indeed as
to subject him to some criticism. To-day
he appointed to a place in one of his
bureaus Jehn V. Heidi, a son of Doctor
John W. Heidi, the presiding elder of the
Atlanta Methodist district
Capt. Forbes of Atlanta, who has been
here looking after the plnce of register
of wills, has gone to New York on visit.
Robert Andrew jackson, big-hearted
sun-tanned citizen of Tampa, Fla, is here
to secure the Office of collector for his
town. His father was one of the earlier
settlers about Tampa, and the present
candidate is native of his town. 1t is
understood that he has the influence of
Senator Call and Representative Cooper
but Senator Pasco is against him and
Representative Mallory is neutral. He
has made.a good impression here.
