Washington special says:
Speaker Reed has many surprises in
store for the Republicans of the house
when the committees are announced
next week. 1t comes pretty straight
that the older members are not to be

new members and he has become salts

named as chairman of an important
committee, and that it will be member
who is serving his first term.

Hayward Receives thesNews of
His Early Execution With
out a Tremor.
Pays His Respects to Adry and
Blixt in Most Bloodthirsty
- Language.
Appeal Of His Aged Parents for
Clemency Fails to Move the
Governor.

MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 9.-When Harry
Hayward was informed by Sheriff
Holmberg that Governor Clough had
fixed Wednesday, Dec. II, as the day
for his execution, the prisoner evinoed
no signs of breaking down, but on the
contrary repeated the awful execrations
against his brother Adry, which of late
have been the only indication that he
appreciated the seriousness of his posi-
ton.
"Well, Harry" said the sheriff, as he
approached Hayward, I've come to
tell you that the governor has signed
your death warrant and fixed it for
next Wednesday,"
"That's long time to wait for rail-
road train," was the prisoners ejacula-
ton.
'If you're in the depot it is long
time" said the sheriff, but you're on
the track for eternity. You have
good many things to consider before
Wednesday,; you have little time left to
stay here"
II know that have little time" said
Harry. "There are q few things I'd
like to straighten out, and few folks
would like to get even with"
Condemned Mans Statement.
Harry Hayward's statement, taken in
the afternoon by Jailer West, is some
what incoherent and decidedly blood
thirsty and starts out:
"a short time is just as good as
longer time, and am as ready now as
ever shall be. / had rather be hung
than go to Saltwater for life. If the
governor would come over here and
talk with me I would tell him some
things. I've had good time here, and
will have good time yet. have no
kick coming. They ought to go back to
the old times People are too soft
hearted now. If had Adry here I'd
put his eyes out and cut his heart out,
and I'd have Blixt look ON. Then I'd
cut them up and throw them to the
dogs. Pm not made of milk and
water"
The statement then takes up the mat
ter of the prisoners projected escape.
The main portion of this recital is de-
voted to roasting local attorney, who,
Hayward claims, acted the part of a
friend in need and then played him
false Hayward claims to have paid
this man $465, and that he failed to per.
form what he had promised to do for
that sum.
His Parents Appeal for Clemenoy.
Early Saturday morning Governor
Clough received a petition from 1b6
people of Minneapolis, 20 of whom
are physicians, asking that Hayward's 3
sentence be commuted to life imprison-
ment ON the ground that there is insan-
ity in the Hayward family. After
reading this petition and refusing it,
Governor Clough prepared to write the
death warrant, but he was interrupted
by the appearance of Mr.. and Mrs. w.
! w. Hayward, father and mother of the
condemned man. The aged couple
were heartbroken but asked for moth
ing definite. They seemed to lack the
courage to ask for Communication Of
sentence or even stay. They simply
asked for anything that would save
their boy. The entreaties of the par
ents were, however, of no avail, and
the governor sealed the fate of Minne-
sofas greatest criminal by ordering
that he be hanged by the neck until

WAITING FOR COMMITTEES.
The Week In Congress Promises to BE
Unevsntful.

Uneventful.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The house
programme this week Is a dreary waste.
Until the committees are appointed the
machinery Of the house is blocked and
nothing can be done save by unani-
NOUS consent. Any resolution that
might be presented-and it is in this
form that the sensations that agitate
the lower branch of congress spring
would 60 down before a single objec-
tion.' For this reason no attempt will
be made to do anything until Speaker
Reed announces his committees, which
he now expects to have ready at the
end of the week. Last week several
hundred bills were introduced and it is
probable that fully as many will be
started ON their journey to the statute
books this week.

Senators win Caucus.

The probabilities are that the week
in the senate will be given up largely to
caucusing by all parties and that the
senate daily sessions will be brief, with
little effort at Legislation. The intro
duction Of bills will be continued,
though no work of consequence can be
done until the committees are filed.
There is nothing ON the calendar except
two speeches, one by Senator Morgan
ON the Bering sea question, and the
other by Senator Cullom on his Monroe
doctrine resolution. 1t is understood
that Senator Morgan will pay his re-
spects to Ambassador Pauncefote and
Lord Salisbury.

many to wonder how it was possible for a
man of his Intellectual ability and social

been charged with. True, his is, in one
sense, but an exceptional case. Others
even of higher social standing have from
