Senator Ayers Accession.

This, however, is only one Of the factors
that have operated in changing the atti-
tude of the committee on this bill In the
Senate yesterday afternoon Senator Bur-
rows Of Michigan, member of the COM
mittee on military affairs, arose to request
that Senator Alger of his state be given his
place on that committee. He stated that
Senator AlgeE had not yet been assigned to
any committees, and that there was some
question as to the advisability at this time
Of making general assignments for him,
but that his distinguished service as head
of the army was such as to make IL de-
sirable that he should be a member of the
committee on military affairs. For that
reason Senator Burrows desired to with
draw from that committee and to have
Senator Alger substituted in his place. This
was DONE and today Senator Alger met
with the committee for the first time. This
action is filled with significance, because
Senator Burrows has always been regarded
as opposed to the staff bill, as proposed by
the administration, whereas Senator Alger
is in favor of it's passage. That means a
gain of two votes for the bill when the
committee acts upon 1t.

What Has Brought the Change.


Several events have together brought
about this change in the attitude of the
committee toward the bill. Senator Hawley
was uncompromisingly opposed to the meas
ure, and his influence as chairman of the
committee was such that it could not have
been reported favorably. He is a strong adj
mirer Of General Miles, and would not, I'M
der any circumstances, approve measure
that would result in a change of the army
organization in such way as to absolutely
nullify the influence Of the commanding
general in the active work of the army.
General Hawley has not been able to attend
a meeting of the committee at this session
of Congress. He has greatly chafed under
this restraint, and had he had his own way,
it is believed by a number of senators who
are acquainted with his feelings in the mat
ter, that he would have been at the meet
ing of the committee today and would have
exerted his influence against the bill. They
say that the urgent command of his phys
ician that it would be unwise to leave his
home to go to the Capitol was the only
thing that kept him away from the meeting.

THE CARNIVAL PARTY.
First Event Under the Auspices Of the
Civic Club q Social Success.

The Carnival party given Thurs
day night at Mikes hall, under
the auspices Of the Civic Club, wal
a decided success notwithstanding
unfavorable weather conditions
The attendance was not so large a,
was hoped for and the receipt,
were proportionately curtailed, but
those present enjoyed the evening
thoroughly and no end Of fun re.
suited from the masking.
The costumes were gotten up in
good shape and represented a wide
range Of characters, from the coun-
try negro TO the eighteenth CEN
fury courtier. The prize for the
best lady's costume was awarded
to Miss Charlotte Stoddard, and
that for the gentlemen went to
Col. A. NJ. Rhodes, who had rig
ged up an original design that was
indescribable, impenelrable and
fantastically ridiculous.
Mr.. o. +. Saunders was made
king Of the Carnival and Miss
Frances Parker was chosen queen.
An intricate and beautiful grand
march followed by cake walking
and numerous pleasantries were
the features of the evening. The
music was supplied gratuitously
by the Third regiment orchestra
and was Of high character, add
ing in no small degree to the pleas
ure Of the event.
Mrs. NJ. w. Sims and Mrs. w.
S. Howell are due the thanks Of
all for the manner in which they
worked for its success to the end
that the Civic club might realize
on the entertainment and further
its work in the matter of public
Improvements. We hope the la.
dies will have mora favorahfa cou.
ditions when they next entertain
and that the public will show
greater appreciation.
