bly, commenced the actual business of the

what is much more important in getting
good committees.
The members of the Democratic and
Goo-Goo minority certainly have nothing
TO complain Of
1t is true that Mr.. Rathbone Gardner
does not get anything better than last

that is more than Mr. Richard IL. Com
stock thought he would get when his
letter Of last March, declining the Rcpub-
lican nomination. Is considered.

same craftsmanship that his predecessor,
Senator Woods had. that of the Senate

the judiciary committee, made by tho re-
tirement Of Senator Woods
The Democratic senator from Paw
tucket. Nathan w. Little1eld, is on special
legislation and Senator Champlin re-
tains his place on tho corporation COM
mittee.

treated the Providence delegation with

best adapted TO fill. Mr.. Van Siyck and
Mr.. Baker of Providence are on the judici-
airy committee. Mr.. Kimball gets the
