THE MISS;< N OF JT Ns1oN Desires |. '.,3e Alabama'S
 MCLaurin. HE SEES THE PRESIDENT Roosevelt, However, is Not a Politician. The Alabama Republicans are Crowd ing Around the Pie Counter,
 But are Not Being Served
 Very Rapidly
HE SEES THE PRESIDENT

Washington, Dec. 6.-(SpeciaD-Ihe presence here of ex-Governor Joe John- ston causes much speculation in Wash- ington's Alabama circles. The Governor has not been in consultation with any of the members of the dele gation and it is stated he has no business with the de- partments or before the courts. He has. however, spent some time at the White House and the inference is natural that he is warming up kindly to the movement of which Senator McLaurin is an ex- ponent to build up new party in the South by the use of patronage distrib- uted among men who have not as rule participated in politics. It is believed that Governor Johnston would not object to do for the Roosevelt regime what Me- Laurin so willingly undertook for McKin- ley. However this may be, the President is not the politician that either the late President was or the ex-Governor is. Roosevelt will not use patronage in any manner which could bring the criticism of men who look to him for the highest interests of the public service.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1901-12-07
Alabama Republicans.

The Alabama Republicans are making a desperate effort to vie with the Nilsson. rians with regard to fighting for the of fees. They have been here in force for some time and will possibly stay longer, but it comes from unquestioned authority that the President does not intend to set tie the several contests from the State before the holidays. The President s style is to deal with one situation at tiEne As soon asshe takes up the Alaba~ ma situation, he will finish it up for good and all. As for the recess appointments of Judge Jones and Attorneys Reese and Wickersham their nominations are among seevral hundred recess appoint ments sent to the Senate within the past few days. The opposition to their con- tirmation, if any exists, has not made itself apparent and no one doubts their confirmation just as soon as the Senate can reach them.
 Marshal Bryan is confident of reappoint- ment, but he is being closely pushed by Walker and A. c. Smith. MT. Smith Is finely endorsed. especially from the Dem- ocratic standpoint He claims to be Democrat, but asserts that if he is ap- pointed he will administer the office in a on-partisan manner. Senators Morgan and Pettus are very friendly to Smith, who used to live in Selma, but this does not mean that the President is likely to choose a, Democrat for M3rshal. The President Is inclined to think, it is said, that the appointment of Judge Jones IS about all that the Democrats have req son to expect.

 Tor Member of Appropriations.

Washington, Dec. 6.-There was large but there were only a few spectators in the galleries. After the reading and ap- prcval of the journal. MT. Gaines of Ten nessee, who has just returned from the Philippines appeared at the bar. where the oath of office was administered to him.
 speaker Henderson then announced the appointment of the following committees:

 At 12:o6 p. m. the house adjourned un- til Tuesday.
 In each of the committees announced today the majority representation was increased one and the minority repre- sentation reduced to that extent. This policy is to be followed in the appoint' l ment of the other comu,ittees MT. Metcaf of California Is the new l Republican member on the Ways and Means Committee. and Messrs. Brownlow of Tennessee Gardner of Michigan and Burkett of Nebraska the new Republican members on Appropriations.
 MT, Underwood of Alabama was the Democrat dropped from the Ways ana Means Committee. Mir. Underwood has been made a member of the Committee on Rules.
 The retirement of MT. Allen of MIS- sissippi from Congress made 1t unneces- sary to drop a Democrat from the Ap- negotiations Committee.
 MT. Wachter of Maryland succeeos MT: Baker of the same State as chairman or the Committee on Enrolled Bills. MT. Ba- ker was not reelected.

PHILIPPINE LEGISLATION.
The Republicans of Ways and Means
 Committee Discussing the Matter.


 Washington, Dec. 6.-The Republican members of the Ways and Means Com mittee met informally after the adjourn ment of the House today and talked over the needs of the Philippines tariff legislation A measure probably will be ready for presentation to the committee next week with the prospect of being re- ported to the House without delay and passed before the holidays.
 The meeting of the Republican members of the committee went over until Mon day when 1t Is expected Representatives Grosvenor and Hopkins, who were absent today will be back. The discussion thus far has turned chiefly on whether the Philippines bill shall be temporary or permanent Chairman Payne being rather inclined to a permanent measure. An other question brought up today was as to the uniformity of the tariff rates to be established. it being held in some quar- ters that the United States should have preferential rates over foreign countries to the extent of 15 per cent. or there- abouts.
 Indications are that the measure will be ready early next week and perhaps by Tuesday, although tho Republican mem bers say there will be no disposition to rush through a measure without mature consideration.
 The committee expects to give a hear ing next week to Cuban representatives now here concerning tariff concessions on Cuban sugar and tobacco.
