This will require several months. for

an intcrminablc task. Then ii was
suggested that typewriters of unusual
size, large enough to receive the sheet
without injury. be constructed and FUR
nished with fancy type. but none of
the manufacturers of writing machines
could give satisfactory guarantees. so
ii is about determined to have the text

NEW MEN in CONGRESS.
Very Few Experienced Congresamen Will

Washington. Nov 2O.-There will be
more inexperienced men in the next
congress than in any that was ever as
sembled. The Democratic tidal wave
OF 1892 swept out of political existenc"
great many of the old Republican
members, while the landslide of. this
fall has carried away about as many
of the older Democrats.
There are tifty-seven committees IN
the house of representatives, but there
are only forty-six Republican members
of the next house who have had eNper'
ience In congress- SO that eleven green
men will be given chairmanships, some
thing that has never occurred before.
Both parties combined have not re-
elected sufficient number Of old mem-
hers to furnish more than one man of
experience 10 each of the committees.
The oldest Republican member of
the next congress will be Mr.. Harmer
of Pennsylvania, who has served eleven
terms The second in length of service
Is Mr.. Cannon of illinois, who has sery
ed ten terms, and the third is Mr.. Reed
OF Maine. who has served nine terms.
Mr. Bingham of Pennsylvania has
served eight The following have serv-
I'd SIX terms: Hit of Illinois, Henier-
son of Iowa. Dingley and Milliken NJ
kins Of Illinois. Boutelle of Maine, Bur
rows of Michigan. Herman of Oregon

Burn, Brosius. Wright and c. w. Stone
