THE SENATE FINANCE COMMITTEE.
Some Important Changes to be Made at the
rin Will Not Accept the Craftsmanship.

Washington, March 29.-It is quite
likely that the finance committee of the
Senate will be reorganized and new
chairman selected when that body
again meets. This reorganization, it is
contended by the friends of Senator Nor
rill, the ranking Republican and former
chairman will not be made in opposition
to the wishes of the Nestor of the SEN
ate who for so many years had servedlon
that committee. 1t is said by the Sena-
tors who are in a position to to know.
that Mr.. Morrill,, appreciating the
onerous duties that will devolve upon
the chairman of the finance committee
during the next Congress. and his own
advanced years, Che is now 85), is not
only willing to retire from the place he
filed with SO much credit, but he inti-
mated his desire to do so. Senator Sher-
man, formerly chairman of this commit
tee, will proba bly, succeed Mr.. Morrill,.
Mr.. Morrill, will not leave the committee
altogether, but according to the present
programme. the total mem bership will
be increased by two, giving each party
an additional member. By this process
the Republicans will have two men to
place on the committee, and the field has
already been canvassed for available
candidates. The silver men will not be
ignored in this, and there appears to be a
desire to conciliate this portion of the
party as much as possible. At first the
silver men discussed the advisability OF
putting Mr.. Teller on the committee.
He,is now on the committee on judiciary
ana appropriations and declined to con-
slider the finance committee as one of his
billets. IL appears to be settled..that the
silver men will designate Mr.. Cameron
of Pennsylvania as the extra Republican
to take the place of the Democrat who
will retire. Senator Platt of Connecticut
will be named as one of the two addi-
tional mem bers, owing to the increase in
mem hersbip. Senator Plaut is acceptable
to the silver men despite the fact that
he is entirely opposed to their way of
viewing things financial.

WANTED In PENNINGTON.
A Boston Boy Criminal of Extensive
Experience.
He Stole Horse and Carriage at Farming
ton But Has Many Other Grimes at His
Door-He Will Not Insist on Extradi-
tion Papers.


Boston, March 29.-Fred W. Lake, alias
Harry G. Arnold, youthful crook, well
known to the Boston police, was arrested
last evening by the officers of Station Il.
He is wanted by the police Of Farming
ton, Maine, on the charge of larceny,
said to have been committed some two
years ago at that place. Lake is charged
with being fugitive from Justice, and
this morning stated he would waive the
necessity of securing requisition papers
and accompany an officer to Pennington.
Lake, who is but twenty years of age,
said he was under the impression that
the affair had been settled by his mother
while he was in the Concord reformato-
ry. He was released from the institu-
tlon only three or four months ago. The
charge against him this time is said to
be that of stealing q horse and carriage
from livery stable keeper in Farming
ton shortly before his arrest in this city
in July, 1898, on a charge of conspiracy to
swindle and defraud. The warrant for
his arrest is held by Detective Sylvester
of the aine town, who will come to
Boston after his prisoner. Lake, alias
Arnold, is the son of a we'll known Grim
inal who is now serving a three years.
sentence in the House OF Correction at
South Boston for conspiracy. On July
IL, 1888, the younger Lake, who then
gave the alias of Harry c. Arnold, and a
man named James r. Fuller, were arrest
ed on the charge of conspiracy to defraud
through means of an alleged broker"
business. A third man who afterwards
proved to be the older Lake, managed to
effect his escape by jumping out of a
window. The latter was afterwards ar
rested in Chicago and brought back to
Boston. Lake, the younger, on his arriv-
al at headquarters was recognized as one
who had been brought into the Office be-
fore on charge Of larceny, and Fuller
WAS recognized as an ex-convict of the
state prison. Young Lake was arrested
yesterday evening in the house at 81
Stamford street.
