Will Be Known About De-
Cember Is.
Speaker Reeds Previous Ex-
perience Will Aid Him.
The Most Knotty Problem Will Be
in Maine.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Members OF the
Speaker Reed during the past two or
three days on the subject of committee
appointments believe that the commit.
tee list will be announced before or not
later than the 18th of the month.
Formerly speakers have not been able
10 make their selections before the Christ
mas holidays az general rule, but Mr..
Reed has had the advantage OF q year,
practically, in which TO make up his
mind. He has said 10 several at lie is
anxious 20 have Congress finish its busi-
ness and adjourn as soon as possible, and
all the time he can save on committee Sc
lection Will tend to that result. That he
has not yet finished his list is apparent,
because today be told two or three Con-
gressmen. who talked with him about
their committees, that be would not inter-
fere with them. ii Is understood that
one OF the chief difficulties Mr.. Reed is
contending with is the appointments from
his own State. Messrs. DiEgley, Bou-
telle and Milliken would each be entitled
TO chairmanship under ordinary con-
ditions, because they are among the Oldest
mem bers in point of service. The naval
affairs would fail to Mr. Boutelle and
public buildings to Mr.. Milliken, but to
have the speakership and three chairman
ships given TO n State with four members
might provoke feeling in the less favored
delegations. How to make an equitable
adjustment OF this matter and incur no
resentment is about the most knotty brcb-
| lefn which the speaker has to deal with
apart from a decision OF the relative
claims OF Messrs. Dingiey, Cannon and
EenCersonto the chairmanship of appro-
priations, aud Payne and Dalzeil to ways
and means.

To Take Charge of Funds.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 4.-The secretary OF the
Armenian organization Of Boston. Mr.. Bogi-
gian, is endeavoring TO have the United States
consular officers in Turkey take charge of the
relief funds subscribed in this country, and
sec that IL reaches the people for whom it is
intended. No decision has been reached in
the matter. There are difficulties in the way
one of them being the sultan's idea that the
existing joint commission Of Mmussulmans
and Christians should have charge OF the
money. Armenians in this country do not
have faith in this commission. Representa-
tive Mccall or Massachusetts is assisting Mr..
Bogigan.

SNEAK THIEF.
Went Through a LOdger'S
Sleeping Room.
And Stole Clothing, Jewelry
and Other ValuableS.
Police Looking for the South Main
Street RObber.

A pompous-Iooking boarding house
thief made a good haul in Mrs. Charlotte
L. Farrar's house, 10 South Main street,
Monday morning, and Alfred Rice, a
carpenter in the employ OF the Oakdale
Manufacturing Company, is the victim.
Yesterday morning Mr. Rice forgot TO
lock the door OF his room, and this gave
the thief an opportunity TO help him
self, which he did, taking Mr. Rice's
brand new overcoat, new sack coat, a
vest, new pair of ''Regal" shoes, a silk
handkerchief, pair Of gloves and an
Odd Fellows charm, all valued at s75.
When Mr.. Rice went to dinner he
thought about his room being unlocked
and went to it. locked it and put the KEY
in lis pocket, and as he was somewhat
in hurry, did not look into the room,
so he was not aware OF the fact that he
had been relieved OF bis best clothes un-
til ho went 10 his room in the evening.
Mr.. Rice reported his loss TO the detective
department. 1t was ascertained that a
man answering the description OF the
one that Mrs. Farrar is positive
stole the clothes, went into Sam Marks
pawn shop at O'Clock yesterday after
noon and wanted to exchange the over
coat for a sack coat. The man wanted
more than Marks wanted TO give so there
was no trade. This is the last trace that
detective Merrill has OF the thief The
man that stole the cothes-csne TO the
house Monday evening and said that he
wanted a room for the night. He was
shown a room upon the top floor. At 9
O'Clock the man came down stairs and
said that he would like 20 see an even
ing PAL er. He was given one by Mrs.
Farrar. This he took TO his room, and
part OF the paper was found in the pocket
OF an old coat that was found in Mr..
Al.
paper was found in the strangers room.
The fellow was evidently tailor, as a pair
of tailor's shears was found in one Of

torial Associations Meet.

remedy the unjust libel laws on the statute
books, and to make them conform with
laws adopted in other States. The joint
committees of the editorial associations
met at the Grand Hotel, yesterday morn
ing, with G.. NJ. Allen, of the Terre Haute
Express. chairman, and j. A. Kemp of
the Salem Leader. acting as secretary.
There were about forty present and the
editors seemed to be very conservative in
their wants, seeking nothing that would
not be of general benefit to the people at
large, as we'll as to the publishers of news
papers. While the Grubbs libel law was I'M
qualifiedly condemned, the measures pro-
posed are In the form of amendments, and
while the responsibility in the libel law is
to be retained, the newspapers are given
the right to make proper retraction. The
recent Minnesota law is looked upon as the
most favorable and just to people and pub
fishers alike. On Mr.. Holtman's suggestion,
a joint committee was appointed from the
committees present to meet Immediately
after appointment to consider the various
bills proposed and decide upon the ones to
be submitted. This joint committee was
composed of the following: c. NJ. Allen, of
the Terre Haute Express: II. >. New, or

the Delphi Journal; f. III. Nauer, of the
North Vernon Banner; j. ID. Hogate, of the
