PAYNE DECIDES NOT TO
Introduce His Resolution on
Representation.
He STILL THINKS 1T GOOD
But Defers to Chairman Han
mas and Others Views.
He STILL THINKS 1T GOOD

Washington, Dec. 16.-Upon the assem-
bling Of the national Republican commit
tee today, Mr.. Payne of Wisconsin made
statement, as follows: 1t is we'll known
by members of the committee. both from
the public press and correspondence with
them, that I have intended to offer and
advocate the adoption by the committee
of resolution recommending to the next
national Republican convention a change
of representation in subsequent conven-
tons. The proposition has received the
support Of almost the entire Repubi-
can press of the country and l have rea-
son 10 believe that upon its merits, as
well rs upon grounds Of eXpediency, 1t
has the support of a large number Of
this committee. | have not in the slight
est degree changed my conviction as to
It's justice, nor have l the slightest doubt
as to its eXpediency. Within day Of
two it has encOunteded opposition which
I had no reason to anticipate, including
that Of the chairman Of this committee.
1t is sufficient for me to say that, out
Of my regard for his opinion and the
opinions and wishes of others high in the
councils of the party, to which, as a loyal
Republican, l feel bound to defer, L am
constrained not to offer the resolution
Senator Hanna.took the floor and brief
" discussed the Payne proposition.
Changes in the basis of representation,
he thought, should be left for the con-
vention to deal with. He did not be-
Iieve that the committee should make
recommendations. Mr. Hanna's remarks
were cheered by the committee. None OF
the other propositions on this SUBJECT
were brought forward. There was some
talk about the large representation from
territories; but no action was taken. The
committee adjourned subject to the call
of the chairman.

PhiIiuDfnes Commission.

Washington, Dec. Ex-senator BeVer-
idge Of Indiana viii be the chairman OF
the committee on forest reservations and
the protection Of game and member OF
the Philippine committee. besides num-
Der of other minor assignments Every
Republican member of the senate VIII be
a chairman of some committee and, OF
course, they will control all committees
as well. The senator from Indiana
wanted to be chairman Of the Philippine
committee, which will be one of the most
important. as it viii soon have TO take
I'D the perpIexing question which Will
grow out of bringing order out OF chaos
in the Philippines.
He also desired to be placed upon the
foreign relations committee, which Is an
other of the prizes of the senate. After
considering the matter for some time 1t
was decided to give the new senator the
craftsmanship of the forest reservations
committee. and he was placed at the foot
of the Philippine committee.
Senator Beveridge is not delighted over
his assignment, as he thought he should
have been given a more important chair
manship and placed on better committees
than those to which he was assigned.
