Washington, D. c., Nov. 10Th.
It Is learned tonight that the Demo-
ctraic Steering Committee has decided to
Fecommend that Senator Bailey, OF
Texas. be appointed to one Of the two
Democratic vacancies on the Finance
Committee. It has been matter of much
doubt as to whether Senator German
would be appointed. When Senator Bal
ley left the House to take a seat In the
Senate two years ago. he frankly avowed
his ambition to go on tho Finance Com
mittee. 1t Is realized. or soon will be. I
learn. that the friends OF Senator Cor
man, In view OF his candidacy for the
presidential nomination, do not wish him
to be embarrassed by place on a COM
mittee which. 1t is expected, will have
tc deal largely with tariff questions at
this session. 1t is understood that sena-
tor German takes this view, too.
It is said to. be the desire of Senator
German to bo appointed to the Appropri-
atoms COMMITTEES: Theretis not at press
ent a vacancy on this committee. Two
members of the committee are also mem
Daniel and Teller. 1t is possible that one
CT both OF these may resign from tho
Appropriations Committee, and place
will thus be made for Senator German.
The remains Of Mrs. Monroe, wife Of
President James Monroe, Will be dlsin-
tered at the family burying ground in
Orange Tuesday and brought to this city.
They will: remain here oyer night, and
the next day Will bestaken Ito Richmond
and reinterred in Hollywood. Senators
Daniel and Martin have been invited to
accompany the remains TO Richmond as
honorary pall-bearers.
MONUMENT FOR. WYTHE.
Among the bills introduced to-day was
one by Representative Lamb, providing
for the erection by the national govern
ment Of shaft to the memory of George
Wythe. Wythe's grave In the burying
ground at old st, Johns Church is not
marked or If marked the stone Is 80 un-
rretentious as to be hardly discernibe.
Captain Lamb says he has thought for
years that the national government should
make an appropriation for tho purpose
OF marking the grave of man who took
such prominent part In the formation
of the government in,the early days. He
called attention to the fact that the gov
ernment had erected monument to
Jefferson at Monticello. and he thinks
there are strong reasons why 1t should
similarly honor the memory Of Wythe.
Other national monuments on Virginia
soil are the monument at Yorktown COM
memorating the surrender OF CORVALLIS,
and one at Wakefield. In Westmoreland
county. marking the site Of the house In
which George Washington was bom
other bills introduced by Captain Lamb
to-day were bill for the relief Of Four
Mile Greek Baptist Church. In Henrco
county. and OF Liberty Baptist Church. In
New Kent county. The churches named
were damaged by Federal troops during
the war between the States. Senator
Martin also introduced to-day number
