THE COMMITTEES.
Forecast AS to Jhairmen When Ap-
pointments Are Made.

The appointment of committees viii
be the next matter to engross the at
tention of the lawmakers. However
the announcement of committee APP
pointments will probably not be made
before Thursday. The senate commit
tee on rules was, however, named yes
terday, and Speaker Roylance will
name the house committee on rules this
afternoon. There will likely be less
committees at this session than for
merly, as for example the committee on
appropriations will probably be done
away with and the duty will devolve
upon the committee on ways and
means, which has had little or nothing
to do heretofore. A proposition to this
effect was received with much favor
last evening among members of both
houses.
Enough is known so far to warrant a
reasonably correct forecast on the
chairmanships of some of the more i'm
portant committees.
In the senate the chairmanships will
be distributed about as follows:
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES and bridges, and
fish and game.
Cannon-Public health and enroll
ment.
Chambers and mining and pri-
vate corporations.
Evans-Ways and means, and public
lands.
Nebeker-Labor, militia and counties.
Peery-Railroads, and fish and game.
MISUNDERSTANDING and mumclpal
corporations.
Robison-Live stock and public build
ings.
Smoot-Elections and insane asylum.
Tanner-Agriculture and irrigation.
as-Manufacture and commerce
and contingent expenses.
Whitney-Education and federal rela-
tions.
Wright-Capitol grounds and Ii
braries.
Kiesel-Claims and public accounts,
and memorials.
ShurtIiff-Prison and reform school.
The chairmanships of some of the inn
portant house committees will probably
be:
Bennion-Ho and live stock
Cook-Highways and bridges.
Cummings-Prison and reform school
Clyde-PubIic lands.
Farr-Manufacture and commerce.
Fisher-Private corporations.
Forman-Labor.
Fullmer-Agriculture and irrigation.
reenWood-Counties, and ways and
means.
Reconsideration.
Horne-Art "a new committee) and
enrolment.
Jackson-Militia and elections.
Lapish-Public health.
Lloyd-Federal relations.
Observation-Disclosures.
O'Neil-Counties.
Parry-Ways and means.
Shepard Municipal corporations.
Stewart-Judiciary.
Wheeler-MineS and mining.
Welch-Fish and game.

has lost his mustache, but the change
makes him look handsomer.
One fact which was noticeable as evil
dence that Republicans in the senate
are not going to be sighted, was that
either Senator Howell or Senator Alder
were on every committee appointed by
President Nebeker-
BY an inadvertence Senator Cannon S
name was omitted in the roll call for
president of the senate, and Mrs. Can
non herself had to call Secretary Ham
mond'S attention thereto, that she
might record herself for Senator Aquila
Nebeker.
Only ten of the senate officers were
present TO be sworn in, Messrs.- A. S.
Hawley and Reuben Nebeker being the
absentees.
Ex-senator John T. Caine who drew
the short term two years ago, came
into the senate chamber shortly before
the opening. He greeted his fellow
members of the Second senate effusiv-
ly, but there was a wistful look about
his eyes and he sighed reminiscently as
he took a back seat and realized that
ne was a ''has-been." Mr.. Game left
before the senate was called to order.
When Secretary Morris announced
the vote on the Democratic slate he
gave it as, fifteen for and three against
the nominations. There was an in
slant cutlery. I think that is correct, -
said President Nebeker. Il under
stood that Senators Howell and Alder
and Kiesel voted against the nomina-
tons" But Mr.. Kiesel said he had not
so voted, and the vote was changed to
16 to 2

Legislative OBSERVATIONS.

The senate chamber and the repre-
sentatives' hall were we'll filled with
spectators during the process OF organ
ization. Ex-members Of the legislature,
public officials and citizens generally,
were in evidence. The attendance of
interested spectators will probably in
crease daily.
Members of the legislature are
warned not to- tamper with the mes
senger signal and alarm boxes when
ringing for the elevator. Yesterday a
Republican member thought he was
pushing the indicator button, but in
stead he rang for messenger. A SIM
liar inadvertence may result in bring
ing a squad of policemen or the fire

is least expected

WORK OF IDAHO LAWMAKERS
STEPS TAKEN TOWARD RE-EN-
ACTMENT OF LAWS.
Extended Controversy Over the Ac-
ceptance of Telephone Courtesies-
Free Homestead Memorial.
fSnecial to The Heraldl

Boise, Ida, Jan. 9.-TOday's proceed-
ings of the legislature were productive
of practically no results. The house APP
pointed a committee, to act with a like
committee named in the senate, to de-
wise a plan for the re-enactment of the
laws of the statehood era
There was a protracted debate in the
lower branch over the renewal of the
offer of the Rocky Mountain Bell Tele-
phone company TO place the long-dis-
lance phone at the service of the MEM
bers free of charge. The offer was fin
ally accepted by a vote of 2S to 20, all
parties being divided on the question.
1t was pointed out by those favoring
acceptance of the offer that it was
merely an act of courtesy and did not
involve sinister motives. These asked
why objection was raised TO acceptance
of the telephone offer when all the
members had accepted railroad passes.
In the senate resolutions were adopt
ed, condoling with Senator Fogg of
GrangeVille on the loss of his Wife
A joint memorial TO congress by Sem
ator Stacy was adopted, asking the
passage of the free homestead bill, and
praying the Incorporation in the bill
of the lands embraced in the Nez Perez
reservation. The memorial was sent to
the house 1t was there laid on the
ldO1c Otl 1AiOtiOl1 VI hCDc6 VI hOOlS-
mai, as he wished to have it presented
by Democrat, and to include the lands
of the Occur d Alene reservation.
When Lieutenant Governor Hutchin-
son read his list of standing committees
there were signs of a violent storm be-
tween the majority and the preceding
officer, but this was averted by adj
journment until tomorrow, so as to
give all parties interested an opportu-
nifty of harmonizing differences.

Omaha, Jan. "a special TO the Bee
from Sidney, Neb., says:
There was a wreck on the Union Pa
cific at Sunal, fifteen miles east of here,
at 4:35 this morning, which resulted in
four deaths and eight people being in
jured.
The dead are: Engineer Dell Bon
ner, fatally hurt, died during the after
noon. Fireman John Coleman, Creston,
Ia, Instantly killed. Young woman,
supposed to be Miss Myrtle Armstrong
of Paxton, Neb. Unknown old man.
The injured are: Engineer Fall, bad
ly scalded. Engineer Reese, cut on
head. Chinaman name unknown, scalp
wound, chest injured. Cook on dining
car arm broken, name not given. H.
p. They, Chicago, head and face
scorched, legs bruised. Johnson, fire
man, Council Bluffs, scalp wound, face
badly brushed. Mrs. a. NJ. StarZell,
Rawlins, Wyo., leg injured. George j..
Hunt of Omaha, superintendent Bel
mont Canal company, left leg frac-
tured, abdomen injured; badly bruised.
The trains which ccllided were the
fast passenger westbound, No. 8, which
left here yesterday afternoon at 4
doubie-header, and eaStbOund pas
senger train No ,. The eastbound
train had stopped to take the side track
ID allow the westbound train to pass
and had not been able TO get on the
siding when No 3, running at the rate
of forty-fiVe miles an hour, crashed in
TO it. The engines were piled up in a
mass of scrap-irOn and the cars which
Were badly broken up Immediately
took fire. The passengers who were
not injured, at once set to work to
rescue those in the wreck and with
the exception of Miss Armstrong and
the unknown man none were burned
The bodies of these two were badly
charred.
Relief trains were Immediately sent
to the scene of the wreck and the in
jured taken to Sidney where they could
be cared for, and il is not thought that
any of them except Engineer Bonner,
who died this afternoon, are fatally
hurt.
-Four cars were entirely consumed by
fire and several others were so badly
broken up as to be practically value
less, The three engines, which were
among the finest used by the road, are
practically scrap-iron.
A new track was built around the
wreck and traffic was delayed only
few hours.
Trainmen at the wreck do not at
tempt to account for the accident and
the officials at headquarters here pro-
fess to be equally ignorant. The only
solution they offer is that possibly the
engineer Of the westbound may have
fallen asleep at his post. All the en-
ployeeS involved are among the Oldest
and most trusted in the operating de-
2artment of the road.

FRESHMAN PUT TO SLEEP.
Dave Sullivan Knocked Out By the
Omaha Kid.

New York, Jan. 9.-The fight between
Oscar Gardner, the Omaha Kid, and
Dave Sullivan of Ireland, ended dis
astrously for the latter in the seven
tenth round before the Lenox Athletic
club tonight. Sullivan seemed full OF
fight when the seventeenth round
opened, and went right to his man. In
a clinch the legs of both boxers be-
came entangled, and Sullivan fell to
the floor. The moment he got up Card
ner planted two fearful right swings
on Dawes head and put the Irishman
down and out with a wild left-hand
swing, which landed flush on Sullivan
mouth.

Filipinos Attempt to Burn Quarters Of
tho Washington Volunteers.
Manila, Feb. 22.-The natives Of
the village Of Pace made bold at
tempt last night to burn the quarters of
the First Washington volunteers by
setting fire to the huts adjoining their
quarters in the rear. Fortunately the
wind changed, at the moment the fire
was discovered. and. famed by a stiff
breeze, the flames spread in the oppo-
site direction, destroying fully 30
shacks and houses opposite the ruins OF
the church. The inoendiaries escaped.
Mysterious signals were frequently
made along the enemy's lines during
the night. and this led to the belief
that an attack had been arranged. but
nothing happened.
The rebels are leaving the vicinity Of
San Pedro Macati in small parties. and
are reported to be moving toward Sing.
