Committees Tonight.

FRED w. Expert WILL PRESIDE
OVER RAILROAD COMMITTEE.
VIM. A. RhOades and Lew w. Cooper
Will Get Good Places-Frank $.
Fishback on Finance.

James II. Bllingsley, president of Coun-
Gil, the only Republican who has plums to
hand out as the result of the city election,
will shake his little tree tonight. At the
regular session of the city fathers Mr..
Billingsley will announce the personnel of
the committees for the coming two years.
Because of the clear majority the Repub-
licans have in the new Council-thirteen to
eight-a Republican will be made chairman
of every committee. and the majority of
every committee will be Republicans. AL
though there is no extra salary attached 10
the places they are eagerly sought. because
of the prestige and Importance they carry
with them. AS in all legislative bodies the
business of Council is transacted really in
the committees.
BIG PLUM FOR CASPER.
The most luscious plum of the lot will go
to Joseph II. Casper. representative from
the Eighth ward. He will succeed Thomas
A. Wynne as chairman of the committee
on finance. Mr.. Casper was a member of
Council about ten years ago.
John II. Grail will fall heir to the chair
manship of the committee on contracts and
franchises, generally regarded the Sec
ond most important of the committees. He
is the representative of the Third ward.
having been reelected over Lynn b. Milli-
ken, his Independent opponent, by a ma
jority of over 1000.
Fred w. Expert, who took Wing into camp
in the Fourth ward contest, will succeed
himself as chairman of the committee on
railroads. Mr. Expert gained the reputation
of being one Of the most indefatigable, ener-
getic members of the old Council.
These chairmanships are all that have
definitely been decided by President Bill
Kingsley. 1T is understood William A.
Rhoades and Lew w. Cooper will be well
of one of the big committees Mr.. Rhoades
is the representative from the Sixth ward
Lew w. Cooper is a councilman at large.
FISHBACK ON FINANCE.
OF the Democrats Frank s. Fishback, the
single Democrat to come out victorious in
the for councilman at large, will get
one Of the best places to be given the mi
norfty. He will be made member of the
finance committee. The probabilities are
that James d. Moriarity, the boss of the
minority. who received the complimentary
vote of the Democrats for president of the
body, will be placed on an important COM
mittee. Andrew II. Wahl, from the Fifth
ward. will also not be overlooked In the dis.
tribution of what few good places remain.
The business OF Council tonight will be
largely routine. An ordinance will be intro
duced providing for the changing of the
name of Chambers street, in Irvington, tc
Michigan street. Chambers street is con-
tinuation of Michigan street. New measures
will likely be introduced by several of the
members. The old Council practically
rounded up the business that was pending
and the new body starts with almost clean

NEGRO HANGED HIMSELF.


ST. LOUIS, Oct. 1s.-It is believed by the
police that the mystery of the murder OF
Mrs. Kate Lauman, whose dead body was
found lying by the roadside near Normandy
Thursday has been partly solved through
the suicide to-day of John Williams,
negro. arrested late last night as suspect.
Williams. VINO said he had recently come
from Mississippi, made several attempts 10

suspicion. He was taken into custody and
placed in the Clayton jail last night. He
asserted his innocense. but finally under Sc
we're questioning made the remark: We'll,
there are others in this. I'll tell you more
about it tomorrow"
This forenoon a small fire occurred near
the Jail and caused some excitement. After
il had been extinguished Sheriff Hencken
went to Williams's cell to question him and
found the prisoner dead. He had hanged
himself 1t is thought that the excitement
caused by the fire alarmed Williams into
the belief that mob was approaching the
Jail TO lynch him, and he quickly hanged
himself with a sheet. His body was warm
when discovered.
Acting on the possible clew uttered by
Williams the police are now searching for
others implicated. The body of Mrs. Lau-
man was buried to-day.

HUGE GEYSERS OF FIRE.


HONOLULU, Oct. 1s.-An exploring party
of thirteen. the first to reach Mokuapopo,
the summit of the crater of Mauna Loa,
gives reliable details of the eruption. The
party suffered severely from mountain
sickness and cold. They found the inside
of the crater very active. Out of the mass
of molten lava fiery geysers were shooting
up to the height of 200 feet or more, but
there was no overflow. An increase of
heat in the Dewey crater, lower down. in

value to Canada of Pearse and Wales
islands. the latter practically commanding
Port Simpson, the probable terminus OF
the new Canadian transcontinental rail-
way. and says the decision giving these
islands to Canada is OF no great impor-
tance. The Globe continues:
NO doubt one of the British commits
sioners shrank from the dangerous dead
lock that would have ensued had both
sides refused TO give way in relation TO
the ownership of the head of the Lynn
canal. The fact that Canadian goods are
bonded across the coast strip makes the
Lynn canal question less important than IL
otherwise would be. Canada will never
theless be deeply disappointed with the de-
cision in relation TO the ownership OF the
arms Of sea in the disputed territory. The
finding is a compromise in which neither
side gets all it set out to secure. The de-
cision is final, however, and there will be
no barking back. Every foot of boundary
line is now settled forever, with no possi-
bility of further strife
