THE MEX HOUSE
NO CHANGE LIKELY IN THE OF
FICIAL FORCE.

Since the discussion of probable extra
session of Congress arose there has been
some talk among republican members of the
House of the organization of the official
force of the House for the Fifty-ninth
Congress. 1t seems likely that there will
be no change in the officers of the House
and that the existing organization will re-
main intact.
The combination of state delegations.
which has rendered the existing organiza-
ton possible will be made again. Illinois,
Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio Michigan,
New Jersey and Wisconsin, with a total
vote of 131, which is five more than a ma
jority of the republican caucus, will decide
the selection of officers, and it is understood
that the states mentioned will stand pat''
with their present appointees.
Illinois, Of course, will have the Speaker
ship. Pennsylvania will name the clerk of
the House and there is no other thought
resentative in Congress, and who has filled
the position since the Fifty-fourth Con-
greSs.
New York will name the doorkeeper and
Mr.. Frank B. Lyon, who has been an en-
plOye of the House since the Fifty-fourth
Congress and who received the unanimous
nomination for the office. will be retained
by the New York delegation. Ohio will
keep Capt. McElroy, civil war veteran and
longtime politician, in the postmastership
New Jersey is well satisfied that Mr.. w.
j. Browning, who has been chief clerk
since the Fifty-fourth Congress- should
stay.
Wisconsin will name the sergeant-at-
arms, and no one dreams of suggesting
other than Col Casson, former secretary of
state of Wisconsin, and incumbent of the
Office of sergeant-at-arms since the Fifty
fifth Congress.
All these officials are popular with the
members and all have records for efficiency
as well. The group of state delegations
whose combination made the organization
possible see no reason for changing, it is
said.
1t Is claimed also that this distribution
of the elective officers of the House is con-
ceded to be on fair geographical lines. With
the Speakership to Illinois, the sergeant-at-
arms to Wisconsin. the postmastership 20
Ohio, it is conceded that the clerk and
doorkeeper should go to New York and
Pennsylvania, the two states having the
largest republican delegation.

RESERVATIONS ACCEPTED.
French Ministers Asked to Serve Until
Successors Are Named.

PARIS, January 1S.-The Combes ministry
presented its resignation to President Lou
bet at the Elysee palace this morning and
the president accepted it, but asked the
ministers to individually carry on their
functions until new cabinet is formed.
NJ. Loubet will begin the consideration OF
the formation of new cabinet this after
noon. He has summoned the president of
the senate, NJ Faliieres, and the president
of the chamber of deputies, Paul Doumer,
to the Elysee for conferences at o'clock
in the case of the former and at ) o'clock
in the case of the latter.
These conferences will determine whom
NJ. Loubet will invite to form a ministry.
NJ. Rouvier continues to occupy the first
place, but his chances are less certain than
at first owing to the belief that a Rouvier
cabinet would not last long on account OF
the internal divisions of the parliamentary
groups.
NJ. Combes, in his letter of resignation,
says, in part:
Il have the honor to present my resigna-
ton as president of the council and that Of
my colleagues. 1t is not without senti-
ments of profound regret that see myself
obliged to renounce the realiZa ton of the
which the republican majority in the cham
Der explicitly and repeatedly approved. But

gram to a realization"

REFORM PEASANT LAWS.
Mirsky's Significant Circular to Gov
ernors of the Provinces.

ST. PETERSBURG, January 1S.-The
minister of the interior, Sviatopolk- -Mirsky,
has sent circular TO the governors of the
provinces in which conferences have been
convened to consider reform peasant laws,
pointing out that the idea that the i'm
perial ukase of December - has radically
changed the principles of the laws is due
to misapprehension-
The ukase, proceeds the circular, confirms
anew the necessity for necessarily striving
TO attain the goal marked out therein. The
decree of January IL, 1904, provided for
revision of the peasant laws on the basis
of the reforms of 1861, and ordered that
due consideration be given to the inViola-
bilty of communal property, while at the
same time facilitating the removal of indi-
vidual peasants to their respective COM
munities without the eXpropriation of their
holdings therein.
These principles are fully preserved by
the ukase OF December -, which ordered a
revision of the peasant laws with the OBJ
ject of bringing them in unison with the
general legislation of the empire enabling
the peasantry TO fully enjoy their rights as
free cOuntrymen in accordance with the
spirit of the law of 1861.
The circular adds that the ukase by no
means precludes the preservation of the
old status of the peasant, which had been
evolved from ancient times. There can be
no question OF the complete abolition of the
recognized status of the peasants which
is requisite for the fulfillment of their own
special needs In proof of this may be
cited that other classes existing under the
general laws also have special communal
organizations.
The circular calls attention TO the fact
that the ukase OF December 70 specially
dwelt on the urgent necessity for uniform
ity in the judicial procedure, in order to
secure the legal equality of all classes and
assure the necessary independence of the
judicial authorities
In conclusion the circular says: The
considerations above set forth by the min
lister of the Interior have been approved
by the emperor The minister therefore di-
reets the governors to take all measures
TO assure that the work of the provincial
conferences is continued and brought to a
conclusion with the utmost rapidity, and
that the members of the conferences arc
granted power 10 freely state their opin-
ions, so that fun expression may be given
10 the true views OF those conversant with
the needs of the peasantry'
