Probable CommIttee Chairmen.

Washington. Dec. 13.-Speaker Reed
did not appear at the capitol to-day.
1t was announced that he remained at
the hotel to work on the committees.
The impression grows stronger daily
that Dingley of Maine will be chairman
of the ways and means committee in
stead of Payne of New York. who, ten
days ago. was supposed to be booked
for the leadership of the majority on
the floor. For the chairmanship of the
appropriations committee the contest
lies between General henderson of
Iowa. the present ranking member. and
Cannon of Illinois. who would have
been ranking member had he not failed
of election to the F'iftv-second congress.
The rivers and harbors Craftsmanship is
supposed to lie between Herman of
Oregon and Hooker Of New York. The
chairmanships of the following COM
mittees seem almost certain: Foreign
affairs. Hit of Illinois; judiciary. Stone
of Pennsylvania; Pacific railroads. r.
r. Powers of Vermont; banking and
currency, Walker of Massachusetts,;
interstate commerce. Hepburn OF Iowa I;
elections. Daniels of New York: naval
affairs. Boutelle of Maine.

ing OF the ambassadors on Tuesday
last reports received from Armenia at
the different embassies were compared

OF enabling the different correspond
ents to complete full reports on the

more severe than the most vivid re-
ports have made them out and the
number OF people massacred Is said to

of a massacre OF the Christians unless
the powers intervene promptly to pre-

A Republican Consultation.

A Republican Consultation.
Washington, Dec 13.-Several repub-
lican members of the house have been
in consultation since the presidents
message was made public to devise
method whereby they could secure
definite statement of the condition OF
the treasury. Mr.. Walker of Massa-
chusetts will endeavor to bring about
an investigation of the finances by an
expert, under the direction of the COM
mittee on appropriations.
After consultation with leading re-
publicans of the house and senate, Mr..
Walker has outlined a plan to throw
light upon the principal matters which
he thinks should be made clear. He
has a resolution, which will be referred
to the committee on appropriations, au-
thorizing the committee to employ a
suitable expert, to whom departmental
officers are requested to give any infor-
nation in their power, and who is to
prepare a statement of the following
matters: All claims against the Unit
ed States that were not paid before
July 1, 1895, that have been favorably
reported upon by any committee of the
house, and on which of such claims the
court of claims has rendered judgment
in favor of the claimant; all claims on
which the court of claims has rendered
judgment in favor of the claimant, but
which have not yet been passed upon
by any committee of the house; a list
of all accounts of congress providing
for any public work, where the work
was not completed and paid for prior
to July 1, 1895, the statement to give
the date of the act, the total sum to be
expended under the act, (or estimate
thereof) and the total amount appro-
priated under or because of the act, the
date upon which the first moneys were
paid out of the United States treasury
under appropriation and the amount
of money paid out during each calendar
quarter under each appropriation up
to July 1. 1895: the value of so much Of
all government work done and approx
ed of by the proper officers on or before
June 80, in each year of the four years
prior to 1885, which had not been paid
for prior to July In each year. When
any of the acts mentioned were passed
| to provide promises to be used in the
place of premises for which the govern
ment was paying rent, the rents paid
| in each quarter of any calendar year
since the passage of the act are to be
given in the statement.
One of the aims of this plan is to
| substantiate the statements made by
| republicans that Secretary Carlisle has
| delayed the payment of appropriations
and held back public works in order
that the treasury might make the best
possible showing.

CONFERENCE OF THE BOSSES
Speaker Reed Did Not Show Him
self at the Capitol Yesterday,
but Remained at His
Hotel and Worked.

Washington. Dec. 13.-The republic
an senate caucus committee. after a
prolonged session to-day. expressed
the opinion that 1t would be able to re-
port the republican membership of the
senate committee to the republican
caucus on Monday. The days devel-
opments make 1t altogether likely that
the appropriation committee will be
enlarged to IL members. in order to
make room for Senators Quay, Petit
grew and Perkins of California Sena-
tor Stewart. who was formerly slated
for membership on the appropriations
committee as a populist, probably will
not get the place, but will become
chairman of the committee on Pacific
railroads. Senator Pritchard of North
Carolina is to be chairman of the COM
mittee on civil service and retrench-
ments.
The proposition of the young
bloods' to push the reorganization of
the senate through prior to the Christ
mas holidays has met with opposition
from the older republican senators,
who recall that they resisted ante
Christmas organization of the senate
when the democrats last gained con-
troll. and should the democrats show
a disposition to resist hasty reorgan-
ization. the matter will probably go
over until after the holidays. The
committee report will be presented
and adopted before an attempt is made
to elect the senate officers.
