UNOFFICIAL LIST OF MEMBERS SENT
TO THE PRINTER.

Republicans VIII Have Two-thirds of
the Whole Number of Seats Only
Thirteen Northern Democrats on the
Rolls - Twenty-eight Contests Likely.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 2S.-Not until
DOW have the officials of the house felt
sufficient confidence in their, unofficial
list of representatives to send it to the
printer. AS finally prepared the list
shows 244 Republicans, 1o4 Democrats,
Populists, silver, and | vacant.
The Republicans will constitute more
than two-thirds of the house member.
ship. Sectionally tl& Republican ma
jority will be divided as follows:
New England states &c, Old Middle
states 66, Middle Western states 90; Far
Western states 20, Southern states, SO.
Few Northern Democrats.
The Democrats secure only l3 mem.
bers in the Northern states, California
and Massachusetts, contributs one each;
Illinois, Ohio and Pennsylvania two
each and New York five. The Demo-
Gratis secure six solid state delegations,
those of Arkansas, Florida, Georgia,
Louisiana, Mississippi and South Caro-.
lima; the Republicans secure 10 solid
delegations, those OF Connecticut, Della.
Ware, Idaho, Indian Iowa, Maine,
Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, North Dakota,
Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota,
Vermont, Washington, West Virginia
and Wisconsin. So.
Twenty-eight Contests.
In all rs contests may be made from
the Southern states and majority of
them are to be instituted by Republi-
can candidates against Democrats, but
it now appears probable that there will
not be so many. Mr.. Myers, who it
was expected would wage contest for
the sat from the Sixth Arkansas dis
trict, is now quoted as saying that he
will make no effort to secure the seat
in the face of the fact that his oppon-
ent is credited with a 5000 majority.
Late advices also indicate that Lee

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 2S.-The develop.
ments Of the second days session of
the transmississippi congress have not
been without interest for the advocates
Of the free coinage Of silver, who have
been anxious to secure definite express
sion from the congress in favor of the
white metal ....
Not alone have the minor features,
such as warm applause when free coin
age was mentioned, been encouraging,
but the organization of the committee
on resolutions, with Congressman W.
J. Bryan of Nebraska as chairman and
R. A. Marshall of Texas as secretary,
has been highly delighting. Neverthe-
less there is as yet no certainty that the
matter will 60 beyond this In the
convention there is a strong element in
favor of international free coinage only
and another opposed to any expression
whatever upon the subject by the con-
gress. Whether the bimetallists will
be strong enough to overcome both
these elements cannot be told. Yet
there is certainty that the main
struggle will be upon this portion of
the resolution committee report anc
the battle will not be of brief duration.

WASHINGTON, . Dec. 3.--Beyond the
passage Of the regular appropriation
bills, it seems probable that little in the
way of legislation will he accomplished
at the short session Of congress, al
though several important propositions
I will doubtless be pressed to the front:
Among the members OF the dominant
parry in the house, oyer half of whom
were defeated for reelection, there is a
great deal Of bitter feeling against the
administration for real or fancicd
grievance. 1t will be the purpose of
: the Democratic leaders to curb as far
as possible the Display Of resentment,
but the Republicans viii spare no pains
TO provoke and goad their defeated adj
versaries into letting loose .,
Their Was of Wrath.
In the course of the session it is under
stood the Nicaragua canal project will
be brought TRominentty forward. The
impeachment Of Judge Kicks of the
Northern district Of Ohio will also
furnish a diversion before the holidays
if the judiciary committee, which in
vestigated the charges, should present
a resolution of impeachment and it
should carry. The trial would occur in
the senate, the chief Justice presiding.
Impeachment proceedings are rare and
novel, and this one, the first since the
trial of President Johnson, would at
tract national attention, No definite
programme has been arranged in the
house for the week, The committee on
appropriations, however, has two bills
almost prepared, the pc ensions and for
tifcations bills, and tIey will be re-
perted at once.
