Speaker viii, To-day, Name
House Committees,
The Senate Will Take Up the
Panama Canal, This Week.
Holiday Adjournment Not Fixed, But
Expected Thursday, Dec. n.

Washington, Dec. 10.-Speaker Can
non will announce the committees of
the House, tomorrow. This will practi-
cally complete the organization of the
popular branch of the 59th Congress.
The appropriations committee which
perhaps has the heaviest task to per-
form, will first consider either the
Legislative or the District of Columbia
appropriation bill. But the outlook is
that neither of these measures will re-
ceive committee attention before the
holidays.
That there will be no lack of legisla-
tive propositions is indicated by the
1868 bills which have already been in
troduced in the House since the opening
Of this session. Many of these are
known as private bills, affecting only
individual interests.
While no date, thus far. has been de-
cided, the holiday adjournment is fully
expected, Thursday, Dec. q. Leaders
are disposed to expedite consideration
of the Philippine tariff bill and the
hearings will undoubtedly begin as soon
as the ways and means committee has
organized.

of the fire. 1t caught from an over
heated shafting. This plant was in
stalled in 1888 at a cost of $4,000. AT
the time of the fire it was owned by
a stock company of local capitalists,
the stockholders being the First and
Second National Banks of this town
and the three officers John r. Nc
Clellan, president; Edward p. Page,
treasurer and Charles L. Young sup
erintendent.
No insurance was carried on the
stock as it was shipped from the mill
each day. But little stock was on
hand at the time of the fire. The
total insurance on the building and
machinery was $4,000. The loss will
exceed that sum. The Skowhegan
Pulp Co. also owns the brick mill oc
cupied by the Maine Spinning Co.
The only damage was to the fire
wall, which was slight. Work of re-
building the mill will be begun at
once. Thirty men are thrown out OF
employment.

OBy Associated Iress.l

Skowhcgan. Me, Dec. 10.-A fire
that is believed to have been caused
by an ovcr-hcated connection in the

mill of the Skowhegan Pulp Co, this
morning, while the adjoining factory
of the Maine Spinning Co. was badly
damaged by water The losses will
aggregate $4,000; insurance, $4,000.
A thick brick wall between the two
buildings saved the factory from de-
struction. Had that structure gone
the entire business section of the town
would have been endangered.
The pulp company is a corporation
organized by local capital. employing
80 men and has Il daily output of IS
tons. The cost of the plant was
$4,000.
The loss to the Maine Spinning Co,
on machinery and stock, Will reach

SkoWhcgan, Ne, Dee. 10.-(SpeciaD.
This town was visited by another
disastrous fire, this morning, which
completely destroyed the plant of the
Skowhcgan Pulp Co., located on the
north side Of the river. The mill was
in OPERATION ut the time. One OF the
grinder men, Paul Machette. was the
first to discover the fire. He smclled

found a small blaze near IA shafting,
about the size of his head. He rush
"a back ana notified the night fore
man. Timothy Mitchell, who seized a
pail Of water but was unable to reach
the blaze owing to. the dense smoke.
The alarm was then runS in form box

two stories high and is Il total loss.
So rapidly did the flames spread
that several of the employees had bare
" time to escape into the open air.

Adjoining the burning building was
the two story brick mill occupied by

fire wall between the two saved 1t
from being destroyed. Tho damage to
this mill from smoke will be slight.
Its water wheel. however, WAS located
