The fact that the minority places on the 9
Committees were were filled BY Mr.. Williams
accounts for many changes. He "a Mis-
sippian. nag apparently overlooked the
fact that thtrG are any Democratic menu
beers Of the House from other tnan1 ING
states OF the far South. Z Mississippi Lou

In the course OF the general discussion
In, the HOUSE to-day, KepresentatiSe

Mr.. Williams Is opposed!Ao tho, Congress

Railway for tho fast mail service bet WGen
WA shIpston ,ard. New Orleans: ~ q 4 mas;
always opposed It. Mr.. Swanson has al
way 8, favored it, He.and other: Vlrginians
argue that, such fast, service Is Of great
value TO- the business men of the State,
ind the rcprcs entat lives from the other.
States or the South are unanimously Tor
hq granting Of the subsidy X they are
from States affected BY this feature OF

It is not unlikely that Mr.. Williams. SO
sironEE: IN his oppos ton to the subsidy
may. attempt 70 line up the Democrats
81 The House against It this year. There
Sc a.; possibility OF. his being able to de-
feat it, but the Senate Is certain to vote
tsYe subsidy, and 1t is believed that the
House would have TO yield. 1t Is said
that the railway may not ask, for the
subsidy this year, as the fast service
brought 1t in debt last year 1t is said
