Democrats Surprised at Mr.. De Ar
mond's Selection.
Speaker Cannon has appointed the follow
Ing committee on rules: The Speaker. Dali
zell (Pa), Grosyenor Ohio. Williams

Considerable sirpriss was occasioned to-
day among deTnoerats Of the House over
the appointments OF ME-. De Almond Of Mis-
souri, on the committee on rules instead OF
Mr.. Underwood of Alabama. who was one
in the last Congress. Mr.. De Almond was
appointed by request of Mr.. John Sharp
Williams, the leader of the minority in the
Among democrats today it was said that
the selection of Mr.. De Almond is con-
strued as being a recognition by the leader
Of the sentiment which existed in favor of
Mr.. De Almond for minority leader, and
which was waived in behalf of Mr.. Will
iams The selection, therefore. is in the
line Of further harmonizing personal fac
lions among the democrats and solidifying
that party in the House.
Mr.. Underwo6ds friends declare that
while he would have been pleased to have
been reappointed, on the rules committee he
has no heartburning over the change. They
say that he recognizes. the propriety Of the
minority leader selecting a colleague of his
own choosing for the important work which
service on that committee involves, and
they declare positively that the transfer
will make no change in the cordial rela-
lions existing between Mr.. Williams and
Mr.. Underwood.
1t is said that Mr.. Underwood probably
will go on the committee on appropriations.
Mr.. Gooch of Kentucky is an applicant for
appointment on the District of Columbia
committee. Mr.. COwherd of Missouri is
trying to get out Of reappointment on that
committee, but the Speaker Is said to be un-
willing to excuse him.

Republican Senatorial Caucus.

The republican senatorial caucus was in
session this afternoon for about one hour.
Nearly every republican senator was pres
ent at the meeting, which was held in the
marble room short time after Nhe Sen
ate adjourned. Senator Allison. as chair
man of the caucus. presided. He was in
structed to appoint a committee on COM
mittees, which will at once take up the
matter of proposing the names of sena-
tors to fiji republican vacancies on all com
mittees
The question of the committee on inter-
oceanic canals came up and was discussed
for a short time. Several senators expressed
the opinion that this committee should De
reorganZed with republican chairman IN
place of Senator Morgan. No resolution was
offered and no instruction was given in any
form by the caucus that this should be
done and 1t will be left to the committee on
committees 1t is quite generally believed
that this committee will adopt the course
of naming a republican. who will probably
be Senator Hanna, as chairman of the COM
mittee although Senator Hawley OF Con-
necticut and Senator Plat of New York
both rank him on the committee. Senator
Hannas advocacy of the Panama route has
placed him In commanding position. whfch
1t Is quite generally conceded. makes him the
natural chairman of the committee.
The only other matter taken up by the
caucus the appointment of chaplain
to succeed the late Rev. Mr.. Milburn. The
suggestion that the Rev. Mr.. Prettyman

Senator Allison. The appointment of this
committee will not be announced until to-
morrow.

several prominent republicans this after
