At Washington.

Leaving undone one of the main things
for which il VAS called in extraordinary
session, the senate adjourned sine die at
3 40, saturday afternoon. confirmation
of presidential appointments constituted
the only work of the session. The Presi
dents great desire Was that the Santo
Domingo treaty should be ratified. All
hope of this WAS abandoned IA week ago,
and since that the senate has only been
marking time
President Roosevelt had a conference,
Saturday, with Senators ullom and
Hopkins and speaker Cannon of Illinois,
at which il WAS determined to appoint
G. { koklsaat, now United States dis
trict Judge for the northern district of
Illinois, 10 be circuit judge for tue
seventh circuit, and Solomon ri. Bethea,
now United Ststes district attorney Tor
he northern district of Illinois, as
United States judge for that district.
These nominations were later sent to
the senate, together with number OF
Others, including that of Edwin V. Nor.
gan of New York to be envoy extraordi-
nary and minister plenipotentiary to
Korea and Japan, all of which were
confirmed.
A glance at the committe positions Of
the Maine members in the Fifty-eighth
Congress, just closed, compares most
favorably with the positions of the
Maine members In the Fiftieth Congress
Representative Allen was the third
member on two committes-that on
alcoholic liquor traffic and the District
of Columbia He is the seventh MEM
Der of the committee on reform in the
civil seryiee. OF these the district COM
mittee il desirable one, being an i'm
portant House committee. The other
two are of minor Importance. From the
second district, MIR Littletield was fifth
on the judiciary COMMITTEES, sixth on the
committee on revision of the laws, and
seventh on the merchant marine and
fisheries committee. The judiciary and
merchant marine committees are both
important ones, while the other is OF
small importance. Gov. Burleigh was
second on the census committee and
third of the public buildings and grounds
committee Both are Influential COM
mttees in the House. Gov. Powers was
second on the elections committee No.
|; fifth on the territories committee and
sixth on the banking and currency COM
mittee All are good committees and
all are also working committees. In the
Fifty-ninth Congress every one OF the
Maine members will have places still
nearer chairmen than heretofore and
