latest rumor ascribing to Mr.. Reed the
intention of making his colleague-ex-
Governor Dingley, of Maine-the chair
man of the Committee on Ways and
Means and the leader of the next

Of New York. would be made chairman
of this committee in the First Congress,

motion to the craftsmanship whenever the
Republicans should again obtain control

regarded as the probable chairman of the
Committee on Appropriations, the choice
resting between him and Representative
Cannon of Illinois.
The Craftsmanship of the Committee on
Rivers and Harbors is being discussed a
good deal by the members as they drop
in at heaGuuarters The legislation that
comes before this committee is so impor-
tant TO so many sections of the country
that in some respects it is a very de-
sirable committee to serve on.
ANOTHER HUNGRY APPLICANT.
Mr.. Ringer Hermann of Oregon has
served on this committee for many years,
and the interests of his district are large
ly involved in the bills that are prepared
by that body General Grosvenor of
Ohio is also an old member of the COM
mittee, having outranlSed Mr.. Hermann
in the fifty-first Congress. 1t is under
stood he desires very much to be made
chairman of the next committee. Both
these gentlemen are understood to be on
their way to Washington to find out how
the land lies.
1t is said that Representative Aldrich,
of Illinois, has given out quiet tip that
he will apply for membership on the
