 Tho only net loss for the delegation was In not being able to get man on Appropriations in place of MT. ray, Tor, who was transferred to Rivers ana Harbors, because there was general demand that he should serve there on account of the great interest the state has in the improvement or the water ways. .
 But an assignment on Public Build ings and Grounds was saved to Ala bama. 1t was at one time feared that this might be lost. Mir. Burnett got the place, giving up Public Lands. and MT.

SIDE WITH WILLIAMS |.
Democrats Think Minority Leader was
 Right.


 Washington. Dec. 1s.--(SpeciaLl-- Democrats. with but few exceptions, take sides decidedly with Minority Leader Williams in the exciting and unfortunate affair with which he was connected this afternoon few minutes after the session of the House had closed. S<
 They are of the opinion that MT. Williams, after being so grossly in suited by MT. De Armond, of Missouri could do nothing but let his right fist go into the Missourian's face.
 Representative Carlin of Virginia was standing only a few feet away when the dispute arose. He says that MT. Williams tried his best to avoid any difficulty and before he discovered that Mir. De Armond was really angry sug- gested that they repair to the corridor or a private room to discuss the diff ferences.
 When MT. De Armond called MT. Will Hams a liar the Mississippian even then laid his hand gently on his arm and told him that he did not mean what he said, MT. De Armond got hotter still and called Mir. Williams d-d liar. It was then that Mir. Williams struck him and they fought furiously until separ- ated.
 MT. De Armond, it is well known in Congressional circles, has been very Jealous of the minority leader for three years. He was believed to be behind Mir Jones. of Virginia. who tried to nave the Democratic leader deprived of the right to name the Democratic members of the committees. MT. Jones was whipped badly, MT. Williams being almost unanimously sustained by the Democrats.
 Champ Clark has been pushed ahead by MT Williams. and this is said to have nettled Mir. De Armond- The lat ter appears to have made what Is call ed a very bad break.

 The statements of the two men n'- mediately concerned constitute the sole account of the discussion prelim~ ;nary to the encounter, as only rag ments of it were overheard by one or two members nearby at the time.
 Forced to Fight.
 Mir. williams's blow was the first sign of belligerency, and while ne frankly confessed that he was the pny sical aggressor, there is testimony that he forebore Mir. DeArmond's words to length and sought first to drop the dis- agreement and then to carry the dis pute to some less public place; that ne made no hostile move until his veracity had been questioned.
 While MT. Williams has for the last five years held the place of minority leader. a considerable element among Democratic members has favored MT; DeArmond for the position. ResuIp~ antly. there has been more or iess rivalry between them, but the signs of it have been more marked among their following than in the men them selves. In their personal relations, they have been generally friendly, at least to outward appearances. The fact that MT. Williams's recent election to the Senate to succeed MT. Money in 1909 will make this the Mis- sissippian's last term in the House. has encouraged friends of the Mis- souri Representative to believe that he would succeed to the Democratic leadership in that body. The position generally goes with the first Demo- cratic assignment to the Ways and Means Committee. and MT. De Armonds friends find some cause for criticizing the course of MT. Williams in retiring from that committee on the eve of leaving the House and putting In the place vacated Champ Clark of Missouri. MT DeArmond's colleague.

 Selma. Dec. 19. A corps of engineers in the employ of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad has been working for the past few days across the river from Selma. The engineers arrived near Sardis Monday, and since then have been running lines in that neighborhood in all directions The appearance of the engineers around Sardis and Pleasant Hill has caused much speculation upon the part of residents of those localities. They have questioned the engineers closely but have been unable to learn anything from them
 The party of engineers which has been surveying across the river rom Selma during the past week, Is a pdr' of the corps which has been surveying for the Louisville and Nashville around Pine Apple. The survey around Ftne Apple was made for the purpose or changing the route of the road between Selma and Pensacola. The road as it now is, pa assed throuRh a stretch of swamp land of about htty miles around Pine Apple The new survey over which the line will oS built will put that roadbead upon soiio ground and it will also shorten Ine distance a few miles between Pensa- cola and Selma -. The work of the corps of engineers just across the river from here IS also nuzzling to Selmians. No one seems tc be able to figure out what this ne" move means.

 High temperature, deficient precip- itation and abnormally high humid itv were the predominating features )f the water during February. 1907 A moderate cold wave overspread the territory on the last three days, during which period the heaviest snowfall of the month occurred. The monthly departure in temper ature over the northern division was pIGs 6.1 degrees;over the south ern division, plus 3l degrees, and for the western division, plus 4.5 degrees.
 The precipitation was unevenly distributed; fully % per cent there of occurred during the last half of the month. The southwest portion of the territory received tne least amount, while the San Francisco, the Bradshaw and Mogollon noun tain areas received the greatest amount.
