Is NOW REPUBLICAN.
SENATE COMMITTEE REOR-
GANIZATION CARRIED.
Popullsts Hold the Balance of Power
BY Refusing to Vote the Democrats
Lose Control of the Upper Branch of
OF Congress.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3l.-The commit
tees of the Senate yesterday passed to
the control of the Republicans. The
Populists, with the exception of Mr.
Kyle of South Dakota, declined to
vote, and the Republicans, having a
plurality of the Senate, were thus en-
abled to adopt the resolution by vote
of 80 to 2s. Mr.. Kyle voted with the
Democrats against the reorganization.
A two-hour debate followed the
adoption of the resolution by which
the change was effected, the purpose
of which was mainly political. The
Democrats, under the leadership OF
Senator German, ably seconded by
Senator Harris, attempted to show
that the reorganization was effected
by an alliance between the Republic
ans and Populists, contending that the
silence of the latter, by making posi-
sible the reorganization, indicated ac-
ouiescence. He also insisted that the
Republican assumption of control sad
died them with the responsibility for
legislation.
The Populists, led by senator Alien
of Nebraska and Senator Butler of
North Carolina, denied that they were
in any fashion responsible for the re-
suit. The Republicans, under the
leadership of Senator Mitchell chair
man of the Republican steering COM
mittee, and assisted by Senators Hoar,
Hale, Allison and Chandler, combatted
the arguments of the Democrats by
asserting most emphaticaily that the
Populists had even refused to make
any suggestions as to their committee
assignments, and had, as matter OF
fact, been left by the reorganization
in the positions to which they had
been assigned under the Democratic
control of the Senate, The Republic
cans strongly protested also against
being held responsible for legislation.

CLINTON, Ill, Dec. 30.-The killing
of State Senator w. II. Taylor by

once summoned, failed to agree and
were discharged. A new jury was
made up and returned verdict of
iustifable homicide. Pace charged
Taylor with having alienated the
affections of his wife, but the latter's
friends scout the idea.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-The report
that Iowa Indians have leased $4,000
acres of land from the Kaw tribe, in
tending to live off the rental of their
allotted lands to whites, is disputed
by Indian officials. All leases made
by or with Indians require the APP
proval of the Indian bureau, and In
dams cannot abandon their allotments
and move onto reservation lands only
by authority of an act of Congress.
This action has never been allowed
and the Indian bureau will not author

You have often noticed the many
timed bars and bands that rise in
the shape of ''forked tongues of
fame" from wood burning in the
CRATE. 1t is ten to one, however,
that you never have thought to fig
ure on the cause of the variegated
hues presented by flames. To bring
the matter quickly to the point, we
will say that the many colors are the
result of combustion among the diff
ferent elements of the wood. The
light blue is from the hydrogen and
the white from the carbon, the vio-
let is from the manganese, the red
from the magnesia and the yellow
from the soda, which are constituent
parts of the wood. ... .. .-
