SENATE COMMITTEES.
what Has Been Done by the Repub-
Iican Caucus.

WASHINGTON. Dec 9.-The Republican
caucus committee of the Senate was in
session for three hours toad NY datb xzfi
1ourned until tomorrow without completing
its assignment of committee membership
The work accomplished is only tentative.
but so far il has progressed il has
confirmed the forecast of chairmanship as
signments sent out last night. In addition
to these places 1t Is now practically de-
cided that Senator Teller will become chair
man of the committee on claims, Senator
Hansbrough on library. Senator Gallinger
on pensions and Senator Shoup on patents
There has been an exchange of places by
which Senator Cameron takes member
ship place on foreign relations and Senator
Wolcott the place on finance which was
conceded to Mr.. Cameron before he an
nounced his intention not TO stand for
reelection to the Senate. There is a proba-
bflity that this committee will be increased
by the addition of one member. This in
Grease Is 10 be made to give the Republicans
an opportunity to put a silver man and
an anti-siver man on the committee.
Senator Jones, or Nevada. is to be allowed
10 retain his place. but as a Populst and
not as Republican. as heretofore. This
arrangement will give the Republicans six
members, the Democrats five and the Popu-
lists one. On financial questions the COM
ulit<ee will stand 4 to I'm favor of silver
1t Is about settled that the appropriations

TO eleven members. This will enable Sena-
tor Brice to retain his place on the COM
mittee and will give the Republicans two
appointments there. Senator Pettigrew will
receive one OF these, the other will go
either to Senator Quay or to a Pacific coast
man. The Populists probably will retain
their present chairmanships far as they
have them. Stewart remaining at the head
OF mines and mining: Allen of forest reser-
vations and PETER of the committee to ex-
anime several branches Of the civil service.
IT Is possible that Kyle may be transferred
TO a less important committee than educa-
tion and labor Butler will be given a
minor committee and Senator Jones, Of
Arkansas will be restored TO his old place
at the head of the committee on contingent
expenses.
The six members OF the Democratic Sem

Mr.. white Urges the Safe Lighting of
Railway Mail Cars.

Special 10 the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON. Dec. s.--Joseph r. White.
superintendent OF the railway mail service.
has Just concluded his report He presents
an interesting array of facts and figures in
relation TO the letters which are carried by
Uncle Sam. Not the least important por-
ton Of Superintendent Whites report Is
that which relates TO the safe lighting or
railway-ma.l cars. For several years the
postoffice authorities have pleaded with
Congress TO adopt measure forbidding the
use OF coal oil or similar fluid in lighting
the cars in which the mails are carried. In
report after report the various superintend-
ents OF the railway mail service have called
attention to tie immense loss caused the
government by reason OF mail cars and
their contents being burned either by the
explosion or overturn.ng OF Kerosene oil
lamps when accidents happened. Almost
every week. in one part OF the country or
another. such casualties occurred, and. as
the report mentioned fully shows. the great
numbers of fires arising from railroad acci-
dents were caused by the lamps with which
the cars were lighted, and only in very rare
instances by the fires from the engines. In
his report superintendent White again
makes vigorous demand for legislation that
will effectually prevent the recurrence of
such disasters. which involve such tremen-
dous losses. He says. very justly:
The leading bankers. manufacturers,
merchants and prominent citizens OF this
country are very strongly in favor of great
er care in transmission of the mails. be-
cause OF TIE immense loss and trouble
caused by their destruction In railroad
wrecks. when thousands of checks and
drafts are destroyed. often taking years to
trace up and replace. Furthermore, the
average citizen. who. after all, pays the
freight has very decided interest in the
matter, from the fact that letters and
mementoes are often lost which can never
be replaced Every business firm in the
United States is vitally interested in this
question. because. apart from financial con-
sideratfons important communications and
orders are lost which cannot be duplicated
ana frequently can never be replaced. The
leading papers OF the country. in view of the
recent terrible railroad wrecks and the con-
sequent loss OF life, are strongly advocating
the use OF the best and most modern ap-
pfiances by all the railroad companies of
the country, because, while speed is a de-
sideratum, safety is still greater

NO NATIONAL HOLIDAY.

Not Even the Labor Day Act Creates
One, Say the Lawyers.
New York Tribune
There would seem TO be no such thing in
this country national holiday. Law
was set apart by Congress In 1894 In such
manner as to lead the confiding laymen
TO suppose IL at least to be national hoi-
day, Is not such outside OF the District or
Columbia, unless by state enactment The
creation and regulation OF holidays have
been left entirely TO the legislatures or the
individual States
The act of Congress concerning Labor
day was approved on June .. 1894. 1t pro-
vides that the first Monday OF September
known as Labor day, is hereby made legal
public holiday to all intents and purposes,
in the same manner as CHRISTMAS, Jan. I,
Feb. -, May 30 and July are now made
by law public holidays"
Clearly the proper construction OF this
statute can be arrived at only by reference
holidays named: The act making holidays OF
JAN 1. July 4, Christmas and ANY day ap-
pointed recommended by the President OF
the United states as day or public last
or Thanksgiving" was passed In June. 1870.
and was restricted in it's effects TO the Dis
trct OF Columbia. These days are holidays
made so by the various State Legislatures.
The act Of Jan. 81 1873. makes Feb. p a
legal holiday. and the act OF Aug, 81: 1888.
restricted in their application to the Dis
trict Of Columbia. The act referring to La
Dor day says nothing about the District OF
Columbia, but IL does say that the hrst
Monday OF September shall be legal pub
lie holiday. Ito all intents and purposes
in the same manner as Christmas. JAN i.
Feb %. May 30 and July are now made
by law public holidays"
The intents and purposes for which and
the manner in which those days are made
holidays are expressly limited 10 the Dis
trict OF Columbia, and so. by necessary in
ference. is the act referring TO Labor day
The misleading language OF the Labor
day act has led to q prevalent statement
that the first Monday OF September is a hol-
iday throughout the Emitted States by con-
Qressinnal enactment.

the Campbell had been lost with all hands
and that particulars had been sent by let

came in this evening from Marquette,
Mich, says that on Saturday a terrible
