HOUSE ORG ANIZATION
A New Candidate for the Office of Ser
geant-at-Arms.
Capt. Sherwood Getting Some Points
ON the POstmas sterxhip-Another
Applicant for the Chaplaincy.

New vigor was infused into the contest
over the House organization by the arrival
today of Mr.. b. F. Russell of Missouri, can
didate for sereeant-at-arms of the House.
He made his headquarters at Wizards, in
connection with those of Maj. Mcdowell,
candidate for the clerkship. and Mr.. Glenn
of New York, aspirant for the doorkeeper-
ship. This contiguity Of quarters, however,
is disclaimed as indicating pooling of is
sues between the men occupying them
There is great deal of talk about com
bine" between these candidates, neverthe-
less, and the gossips usually group the
three names together when referring to
them.
Russell and Mckee.
Mr.. Russell is backed by the entire Mis-
souri, delegation. He is the editor of the
Crawford Mirror, published at Steelville
and was speaker of the republican house in
the legislature for a number of years. The
rivalry between Mr.. Russell and Capt. Nc
kee for the office of sergeant-at-arms will
now become vigorous, and both men will
line up their respective forces. Capt. Nc
Kee has received many encouraging as
surances and is feeling reasonably confident
of success. His headquarters are at the
Ebbitt House.
Capt. Sherwood. ,Rriends.
Ex-Postmaster Sherwood of this city,
who has been mentioned Sc an availability
for postmaster of the House. visited the
candidates today and took some points in
campaigning. Capt. Sherwood's political
quaiEtance may not be as extensive as
some of the others, but the friends who are
back of him influential, and he pos
sesses the advantage Of wide experience in
one of the busiest and most Important post
O1ilceS the country. :
Rev. DR.. Fisher of Topeka, Kan, who
has announced his candidacy for chaplain
of the House. is said to have the unanimous
backing of the delegation from his state.
AS all of the other elective offices are be-
ing claimed by men from states east of
the Mississippi, the friends of DIR. Fisher
think he has a good chance.
Southern Statc~' cI.fms.
1t transpires tina; the claims of the south
ern republicans for two OF the elective
offices are not being received with much
favor by the northern and eastern men, and
are especially obnoxious to the westerners.
They take the ground that the south will
be amply recognized If given some of the
appointive offices, and the political import
ance of the southern republicans does not
warrant aiming at a shining mark

SQUEEZE by A SALT COMBINE.
Ii May Cost Chicago Packers Half n
Million.

CHICAGO, November 20.-A local paper
says: The leading packers in the stock
yards, as well as the lesser ones, are wor-
ried by the salt combine, which has been
raising prices until now it seems the ef-
feet of salt trusts squeeze will cost tho
packers a matter of 100000 to 100000 .
year.
Rock salt has been advanced in price
nearly 100 per cent. The packers dispatch
ed trusted men to find out whether salt
could pe bought elsewhere. Their agents
have returned and reported that the COM
bine seems to have secured everything.
Packers instead Of S2.75 ton, are now
paying 45O to $4.75 for their rock salt.

EEFRESENTATIVE HENDERSON.
What He Says About Probable Tariff
Revision.

nSNlSlohs
Representative Henderson of Iowa has ar
rived in Washington for the session, and is
at the Shoreham. When General Henderson
left Washington last spring he was in bad
health, having suffered during the entire
winter from an irritation of the wound from
the amputation of his leg during the war
An operation was performed, by which some
of the diseased bone was removed, and now
he is in as good health as he ever enjoyed in
his life. He has gained thirty pounds and
is looking splendidly.
During the campaign" he said to Star
reporter today, Il spoke six days week.
sometimes twice day, and never in my life
have 1 stood a campaign better"
No Tariff Revision Likely.
Speaking of the approaching session, he
said:
1T would be foolish to attempt a revision
Of the tariff during this Congress. We know
in advance that the Congress and the ex-
ecutive are at the antipodes and that no
revision the republicans could make would
be agreed to by the President. We should
be patriotic and think of the needs of the
country first of all, and, if it is possible to
get the President to join us in this we should
do so. I do not think We can come to any
agreement to increase revenue by internal
taxation but we shall wait and see what the
President has to say. 1t is his right and
duty to make suggestions to Congress, and
we shall act upon them, / am sure, in a
patriotic spirit, according to our best judg-
ment.
No Need of 81 Record.
II think any increase of revenue must
come from customs, but we have no need
to make record. Our record is made; we
believe in protecting American industries
This does not mean that we adopt the Nc
Kinley schedules"

Mr.. McMillin, who was prominent during

Mr.. McMillin is a good mixer, Gnd the

The feature of the Tennessee situation
that is attracting most attention among
politicians is the division of the democracy

entail men on both sides for the gnber-
Material nomination. Democrats fear that
IL the war between the free silver and
sound money men in Tennessee is to con-
tinue during the next year. the party will
be so divided there that 1t will not be a
hard matter for the republicans to carry

ing the record of the solid south a few
years ago that the republicans there actu-
ally claimed the state, and claimed that
they were counted out by the democrats.
Tennessee Is one of the doubtful southern
states, and it is thought that if a fight is
waged in the democratic party between the
sound money and silver men there will be
no hope for the democracy when the next
election day comes.

that it seems to me that at this critical mo-
ment in his mission the President ought to
know the facts about him-that he may not
unintentionally do him injustice. He is a
brave. honest man, with warm heart, and
enthusiastically devoted to his work of de-
Tending all American interests in Turkey.
No man ever tried harder to do his whole
duty, and the attacks upon him have often
been shamefully unjust, and generally, when
they have come from responsible parties
they have been based upon partial knowl-
edge of the circumstances. This is specially
true of the last eight or ten months. I think
many missionaries in the interior owe their
lives to his persistent efforts with the Turk
iSh government"

Differences DeveIoDcd.

A most notable and important circum-
stance is thought to be the differences that
have developed between the administration
and Mr.. Sherman on this financial point
Heretofore Mr.. Cleveland and the Ohio Sem
ator have stood pretty close together-so
close, indeed, that many democrats have
complain ed of it. Mr. rCleveland was charged
with taking his cue from Mr.. Sherman. and
Mr.. Sherman has been taunted with being
at the head of the administration repub-
lfcans." But in this matter Mr.. Sherman
sustainS the greenbacks.

they left certain of their household
goods and other personal property
stored in the house formerly occu-
pied by them. There were also a
number of unpaid bills left, and in
an effort to cellect these the goods
aforementioned were attached. Mrs.
Johnson, through herattorney, now
claims that the goods were commu-
nifty property, and were exempt un-
der law from attachment, while the
other side contends that Johnson
has left the state, and intended de-
frauding his creditors, and that the
goods are consequently amenable to
attachment The goods were adj
vertised to be sold under the Will
Jams & Moss execution on the 10Th
inst, but the superior court has
eniOined the constable from pro-
ceeding with the sale ill he has
shown good cause, and the con-

RaIy STOPS The HARVEST.


The past week has been one of
continued rain, and all harvesting
and threshing operations have been
at standstiIl. Considerable grain
is still standing, and it has been
more or less damaged. The rains
have bleached the wheat, and soft
ened some of it so that the grade
will be low. Some of it is also
broken down so that it will be Inn
possible to pick it up with the bin
der. Grain that was we'll stacked
has not been damaged, but poorly
made stacks of headed grain have
wet in somewhat. If the weather
continues dry during the balance of
harvest the loss will not have been
serious, although there will be some
soft wheat. Grain is all Oyer-rlpe,
and few days more of harvest
weather will see it all in the stack.
The price of wheat remains discOur-
agingly low, having dropped several
cents this week, being quoted in the
Pullman market today at y cents
sacked and % cents bulk.
John Prentice has decided that
the wheat of the Palouse country
must be cut with the binder in the
future to insure against damage by
rain, as grain SO cut will stand wet
