Monday session Of the house of
representative was marked by one of
the most sensational episodes which
has occurred in that deliberative body
for a long time, and brought TO public
attention a condition of affairs which
The News exposed editorially about
ten days ago.
When the committees for the forty
ninth congress were made up, MI.
John Sharp Williams. exercising the
function which IS his as leader of the
Democratic minority. deliberately
omitted Congressman Lamar. of Flori-
da. and Mr. Shackluf0rd. Of Missouri,
from the committee on interstate and
foreign commerce.
There was a story behind this not
able omission of two of the strong est
and most loyal Democrats in the house
from what would naturally be
one of the most important
committees of the present con-
gress. This story has been well
known among the friends of Messrs.
Lamar and Shacklefcrd ever since
the incidents occurred which gave
rise TO st. But Ia order that It might
be more clearly understood. The News
took occasion To- explain the matter
several DAYS ago.
When The committees we're announc-
cd I'M the house on Monday, Congress-
man Lamar sent TO the desk and had
read a newspaper clipping In. which
Mr. Williams was quoted as claiming
that MessTs. Lamar and Shackleford
had been dropped from the committee
because OF their refusal 10 follow the

minority

the house as to whether General Miles

call for a Democratic caucus for the
purpose Of rendering TO that body his
resignation as a minority leader.

THE SENATE.

The Senate had very short session
yesterday, none of its special commit
tees being ready ~ report, although
it has been expected that the Dowsett
County Act Committee would submit
the result of its lahors. In fact, so
certain was it that this committee
would report that recess was taken
at the noon hour, instead of an adj
journment, but nothing whatever was
done at the afternoon session except
ing to meet and adjourn.
At the opening of the session, the
House returned Senate Bill SO, the
marriage license bill, amended so that
licenses shall be issued by the Treas
urer only The amendments were ac-
cepted, Achi and Kalama voting
against the measure.
From the Accounts Committee, Paris
submitted report showing that the
Senate has been so economical that
as yet it has not used up half of its
APPROXIMATION.
