"Yes, / am having some trouble In

The republican senators held a

The senators who will serve on the
democratic congressional campaign
committee for 1908 have been named
as follows. Clay, Taliaferri, Martin,
Stone, Newlands, Latimer, owen, Cul.
berson and Taylor.
The senate discussed for two hours
a bin to allow a suspension Of the
law requiring annual work on mining
claims, in the course of being perfect
ed, to the amount of at least 500 an
nually during the year 1908. The bill
was urged because of the difficulty
of securing funds for prosecuting the

IN CONGRESS
HOUSE


Speaker Cannon did not complete
Bis committee assignments until near
" IL o'clock Wednesday night. To
insure the printing OF the official lists
In time for Thursdays session, each
committee table wal sent to the pub
lie printer Wednesday night a. soon
as It vas finished. Mr.. John Sharp
Williams. who by virtue Of his mi
nority leadership had the naming Of
democrats to the various committees,
worked behind closed doors all OF
Tuesday and Wednesday and sent his
completed list to the speaker Wednes-
day night. The assignment task was
heavier this vi Jan eeyr before, for
two reasons: creating Of about
50 additional conmitteeships BY the
enlargement OF each Of the more Inn
portant committees BY one republican
and one democrat on account Of In
creased membership Of the house and
the fact that many members foresee
in the speakers selections an effect
real or fancied--on the presidential
situation.
The more or less III feeling that has
long existed between Congressman b.
A. DeArmond Of Missouri and John
Sharp Williams Of Mississippi, minor
ity leader In the house, eliminated
Thursday afternoon In a brief but rat.
tling fist fight. The set-to took place
In the cloak room Of the house. Just
after adjournment of that body, and 1t
required the efforts Of six fellow con-
gressmen to get the belligerents apart
and out of striking range OF each
other.
The house got down to actual work
Thursday and transacted considerable
business. All that had remained to
make this possible was announcement
OF the committee appointments, which
was made by the speaker. The sew
eral chairmen became alert with re.
gard to their rights and forced the
reference to committee OF several
propositions on which immediate &C.
ton was desired. This was not ac.
complished, however, without more or
less debate, which at times grew
warm.
The first money appropriated by
the present congress was awarded
Thursday. The amount was $4,000
