 French Despatch noaG eauoon Duo at Com stantinnpIe To-day-others to Arrive SinGlS-The sultan swears to Protect Said Facha.
 London, Dee. 12,--A Constantinople dspatch to the Times states that the second French dispatch boat, the Eau con, is due to arrive at Constantinople tomorrow and that the second dis patch boats of the other powers will arrive singly later
 The Times prints a dispatch from its correspondent saying that Said Pacha's return to his home was due to the pressure brought to bear by Tahsln Effendi, the sultan's first secretary, and Tewtlk Pacha,
 A Constantinople dispatch to the Daily Telegraph states that it is gen. erally felt that Said Pacha has stulti- fled himself by leaving the embassy.
 The Chronicles correspondent states that some persons say that Said is playing a deep game, and that these, perhaps, are better informed than those who believe that he has acted foolishly.
 The Chronicle prints a Constantinople dispatch saying 1t is reported that the sultan swore on the Koran to protect Said Pachas life and liberty He also presented to Said a large sum of money and granted him pension of 1865 monthly.
 The sultan seems to have taken Q fit of generosity toward apparently sus- pected persons. He sent rosary worth f2000 to Kiamil Pacha, former grand vizier and increased his annual stipend to f5,O0O.
 Dispatches from Urumiyah under date of December 10 say it is now cer- tain that the Hamadien cavalry de- stroyed 200 villages in the Vilayet of Van and that 30 GOO homeless Armenians are focking to the city of Van Ac- lernment is doing nothing to prevent out rages upon Armenians.

Illho nlsnster necnlleA.

Cleveland, Dec, 19,--John Vevera of this city has incurred the censwe of Bishop Horstman in case which he calls the terrible Elbe disaster, On his passage to Europe on the steamship Lahn Veyera had as a fellow passenger q SlaV whose name is unknown. Jos seph Holecle was also a passenger The Slav became ill. Holecll wore a collar such as Catholic clergymen wear and some.o of the passengers thought it would be joke to have the terror-strick2n Slav make a confession to Holeck, who was willing to carry out his part of the program, Vevera, as a Catholic, pro tested against the farce and caused 1t to be dropped.
 Holeck and V5vera were both passen- gers on the Elbe on the homeward jour ney. Holeck' was lost Vevera was saved. Vevera received the following letter from Bishop Horstman last week:
 My attention has been called to cor respondence in the Bohemian paper Volnost, in which MT. Holeck, who went down in the Elbe, relates how you brought a poor seasick Slavak to him, as if he were a Catholic priest and that the Slavak made his sacramental con- fession to him. If the facts be true, Holeck has already been judged, but you are as guilty as he of most ter rible sacrilege."
 MT. Vevera asserts that he prevented the sacrilege. and asks that the bishop withdraw the accusation.

MAIL SrEAMER OVERDUE.
Anxiety About the Scotsman Felt at Hall-

fax.
 Halifax, N. S. Dec. 12,-Concern as to the safety and whereabouts of the mail steamer Scotsman is felt to-day. She is now between three and four days overdue from Liverpool, She is a fast and able boat and has had favor able winds for the last thirty-siX hours. A. c. Jones & Co, her agents here, say they believe the Scotsman has picked something up. She is too long overdue, they state, to put her non-ar- rival down to heavy weather. They do not think she is disabled because she is a twin screw steamer and would be able to proceed with one screw if one set of engines broke down. The agents place particular stress on the fact that the steamer has had favorable winds for the last thirty-six hours, Mails which left Liverpool the day after the Scotsman sailed have arrived here via New York The Scotsman has a large pas. enger list.

He Finds It Hard Work to Make Up His
 Committees,

NNmlhlitees.
 Washington, Dec 12. was not un- til yesterday that Speaker Reed began the serious work of forming his com mittees. Until that time he had devoted his leisure to hearing the applications of members and eudeavorlns to satis- f. himself not only as to their indivd- uai capacities, but as to their fitness for the assignments they desired, It can be positively stated that the speak, er is still undecided whom he will ap- point to the chairmanship of the appro- priahons committee, ana there are strong surface indications that he is equally uncertain regarding the ways and means chairmanship.
 IL has been generally expected that the appropriations committee would be given to MT. Henderson of Iowa, who was the ranking republican, member in the last congress. This, it is believed, will be the final disposition of the mat, ter but it is as yet unsettled, Speaker
  rassing to place MT. Henderson at the head of the committee, and equal em- barra.ssments would attend any at tempt to supersede him. Equal unoer- tai,nty exists as to the ways and means committee.
 There is no reason to doubt that MT. Dingley of Maine will succeed to this chairmanship, although the friends of MT Payne of New York still assert that this honor has been reserved for him. l Should Speaker Reed decide to give | the chairmanship to New York and re- | fuse Mir. Henderson of Iowa the chair manship of the appropriations commit tee, it is not unlikely that MT Dingley of Maine may himself succeed to the ap l propria tions chairmanship.
 Speaker Reed will not in all prob ability announce his committees until | the very last of next week. The an nouncement may be delayed until the | very last of next week. The announce ment may be delayed until tho follow l ing Monday if the adjournment for the holidays be postponed until that date. Neither is it likely that the speaker will announce any single committee in the meantime, not even the committee on rules.
 Speaker Reed has made no plans fol l the Christmas holidays. He has declin- ed number of invitations which would take him out of the city during that period. His present intention is to re- main quietly in Washington.
