THE HOUSE COMNITTEES.
A Majority Of Them Have an Increase OF
One Member Each,

WASHINGTON Dec. ll.-Speaker Cannon
to-day announced the committees of the
House of the Fifty-ninth Congress, except
those on Rules and Mileage heretofore ap-
pointed. Minority Leader Williams told how
he and the Speaker had reached an AMIGA
BILE understanding regarding majority and
minority representation, the latter generally
speaking. to have one-third Of the member
ship of the more important committees and
three of eight on others. This, in view of
the fact that the Republican membership
was 81 per cent. of the whole, he thought a
fair arrangement,
Mr. Dalzell called attention to the fact
that the representation given the Demo
Gratis was greater in proportion than they
had accorded to the Republicans in the
tifty-second and Fiftythird Congresses
To avoid friction on the Republican side
the total membership of committees was
increased by thirty-six, which provides
places for all.
The most notable asri ynment was that
of Mr.. Tawney rep. Mimi tn the chair
manship of the Committee on Appropria-
tons displacing his colleague. Mr.. McCleary.
who was in line for promotion. The latter
goes to the Committee on Ways :and Means
being fourth on the list, and retains the
chairmanship of the Committee on Library.
He expressed satisfaction with the arrange
ment. especially as he was put so near the
head of WAYS and Means But he was
much nearer the head of Appropriations
this morning.
As an evidence of the value placed upon
an assignment to the Committee on Ways
and Means. Mr.. Gran (Rep., ND may be
cited He gave up the Guardianship of the
Committee on Claims with a 81 900 clerk
attached a place on the Committee on
Agriculture and one on the Committee on
Accounts, the latter having charge OF tAe
disbursiRg of the contingent fund Of the
House,
William Randolph Hearst was placed at
the head of the minority on the Committee
lucky,

NAY DISMISS CASE.
Acquittal Is Likely If Burton ID
Again Tried.

A Washington dispatch says that II
10 doubtful II there will be another
trial Of the Burton case. D. P. Dyer
Of St. Louis. the attorney who prose-
cuted in the other trial, is In Wash
ington to see about it. Under the
decision Of the supreme court which
granted Senator Burton a new trial
he'can be tried on only one count Of
the St. Louis indictment. This count
was the one based on the cash pay
ment OF $500 in st. Louis. The re-
naming four payments to Senator
Burton were by check and the checks
were deposited to bis credit at the
Riggs bank in Washington. The post
office department has been engaged
for several weeks in preparing lite evil
dence for q new trial and there Is
nothing left for Colonel Dyer to do
except proceed unless directed by the
attorney general, MIR. Moody. to dis
miss the case, which is likely.
Lawyers have argued from the de.
cision that 1t would be difficult to se-
cure q conviction now, one fact which
they cite being that the court was d.
vIdsd, five to four, on the proposition
that the indictment stated 90. offense
under the statute.

TO the banquet, but thought better OF
It when the doors opened. There was
only one other negro at the table and
he was so white that his next door
neighbor didn't know he was black"
Gov. Hoch raped the Standard oil
trust hard in his speech and Speaker
stubbs made a plea for oficial In
