CONGRESSMAN FROM THIS STATE
FOR GUARDIANSHIP OF NAVAL
AFFAIRS COMMITTEE.
SPEAKER CANNON DOES NOT
ADOPT PRESIDENTS sUGGEs-
TIoN, THOUGH HE THINKS
LITTLE OF F0SS.
President Is in Habit of Consulting
Dayton on Naval Affairs, Instead Of
the Chairman of the Committee,
Having Great Confidence in
His knowledge.

Washington, d. G., Dee. 2.-Sonle new
facts have come out with regard to the
house committees on naval affairs, scan
dals attaching to which make a reform
in the personnel possible. 1t is said
the president has suggested to Speaker
Cannon the appointment Of Aston G
Dayton, Of West yirginh, chairman Of
the naval affairs committee, in place Of
Mr.. Foss, Of Illinois, the present chair.
man. Though it is known that the
speaker does not think very highly of
Eos, he did not adopt the presidents
suggestion. The pressure on behalf Of
Foss, he did not adopt the presidents
strong, and besides the chairman is not
personally involved in any Of the sran.
dals that have been hung about the
committee. His capacity for leadership,
however, is strongly questioned.
When naval matters were under dis.
cttssion the president has been in tho
habit OF sending for Dayton and con.
sulting him about them instead OF send.
ing for Foss. Dayton is second in rank
on the committee, and when naval bills
are before ,the house he generally takes
active charge Of them. Though Foss Is
in nominal charge, the presidents inter.
est in the improvement Of the navy Is
well known, aud ne wants the naval
committee made up of the strongest and
cleanest men who can be found He has
frequently talked the subject over with
Mr.. Cannon, and has urged upon the
speaker the Strengthening Of this com.
udttee, which is now divided into fao-
tions representing the interests of va
rious manufacturers.

Alan by their reticence in regard to the
progress of the railroad scheme. At

him either really or pretendedly indif-
feTent about the matter. His concern,
he told them, was busy in other quar-
tiers, and he really did not know what
they would finally do about IT,

Alan's love affair had also been
dragging. He had had numerous as
surances of Dolly's constancy, but her
eyes had been opened to the serious
ness of offending Colonel Barclay. She
now knew that her marriage against
his will would cause her immediate
disinheritance, and she was too sensi-
BILE a girl to want to go to Alan with
out dollar and with the doors OF her
home closed against her. Besides, she
believed in Alan's future. She some
