Changes Are Few.

Ou6uke8 AEo 39Ws
 There are not many changes of com- mittee assignments among those agreed upon today by the Democrats of the Sem ate.
 Senators Morgan and Pettus retain their same committee places, except that Nor gan retires from the chairmanship of the Inter-oceanic Canals Committee. Senator Carmack goes to that committee for a new assignment and also to the Com- mittee on Organization and Investigation of Expenditures in the Executive Depart ment. The latter. committee will assume much importance fin the event of Con- gressional investigation of the Postoffice and other departments.
 Bailey of Texas gets three new assign ments, Finance, Privileges and Elections and Relations with Canada.
 McLaurin of Mississippi gets a new as- signment in going to the Committee on Claims. Money retains his old commit tee place.
 Berry of Arkansas gets an important new assignment in going to the Commit tee on Commerce. MT. Clark, his col league. who is newly assigned all round, Is well placed for a new member, going to such important committees as Territo- ries and Immigration.
 Stone of Missouri goes to the import ant committee on Commerce.
 It seems that there has been a change in the program as agreed on a few days ago, that Senator German should go to the Appropriation Committee, instead of the Finance. It was understood Dubois was to take a place on that committee. Daniel. Teller, Bailey and German are regarded as strong team for the minor. ity on the Finance Committee.

BOTH ARE ACQUITTED
JURY TURNS LOOSE JOHNS AND
 MILLER.
To Those Who Heard the Strong Charge of the Judge the Yer dict Came as
 Surprise.

Cincinnati. Nov. 0.-D. V. Miller of Terre Haute and Joseph M. Johns of Rockville, Ind, were acquitted tonight of the charge of conspiracy to extort a brlbe from John J. Ryan, made by the Post office Department
 The verdict of not guilty was received by the crowd with demonstrations that could not be suppressed by the court of ficers.
 As soon as court was adjourned and Judge Albert c. Thompson had retired. pandemonium broke loose among the friends of the defendants. The defend ants finally broke away from the crowd of friends to shake hands with the jurors and wept like children as they did 50.
 Chief Postoffice Inspector Cochran and MT. Robb, Assistant Attorney General for the Postoffice Department, who had as- sisted District Attorney McPherson and Assistants Mouliner and Darby in the prosecution. left for the East before the verdict was rendered.
 Among the cries of the jollifiers was that of Where is John J. Ryan?" Ryan had been the central figure during the two long trials, but he was not present tonight.
 The jury retired shortly before ?. m. and rendered its verdict after deliberating six hours. It Is understood that a ma jority were for acquittal from the start. It is generally understood that there was doubt as to Miller's connection with the transactions between Johns and Ryan.
 The charge of Judge Thompson during the afternoon occupied an hour in its de- livery and was very strong. To all who heard the charge to the jury the verdict was surprise. as it was thought the jury would be unable to agree.
 The Federal ofiiicals acknowledge their disappointment in the outcome. They state that this case was not like any other postal cases that are pending as this case simply dealt with the action of Miller when he was an assistant attorney in the Postoffice Department.

Cottol- Trade Authorities Are Some
 what Pessimistic.
 Boston, Nov. 2O.-Cotton trade authori- ties reviewing the general situation sum up their observations with reference to existing market conditions as follows:
 Business is bad or mills would not take chances in reducing wages. and on the other hand operatives know that busi- ness Is bad, or they would not accept a reduction without Q strike.
 Last year the mills had to contend with the extraordinary fuel costs. This year it Is high-priced cotton. The Southern mills are as badly off as the New England mills What they save in labor and fuel costs and cotton freights. they lose in ability to secure the right management and adequate financial accommodations al the rates which few mills can borrow.
 In substantiation of this view 1t Is said that New England mills have less than two months supply of cotton on hand whereas in normal years they have by the middle of November a six months' supply.

 we can assure you that although the Borgia apartment has been placed at ths disposal of the Secretary of State, it car be visited as usual by the public. While the apartment is illuminated by electric. ity 1t has been furnished in harmony with the art decorations
