WORK
 FOR ELIHU ROOT

Washington, January 18.-(Special.)- There is quite a disposition among some of the younger senators to resent what 1t is predicted will be the policy of the Senate republican leaders in giving important committee assign ments to MT. Root of New York. It is stated that Messrs. Aldrich and Hale are to welcome MT. Root to their bosom. as an old member and give him the best at their disposal. Foreign affairs, military affairs and judiciary are all mentioned as places for MT. Root.
 This goes mighty hard with senator ial precedent which has always been insistent that new senators go on un- important committees. MT. Roots desig- nation on any of the committees sug- gested would promote him over the heads of perhaps 20 senators who have been waiting for several years to fall through seniority into these places.
 If the Senate republican leaders have the intention to advance MT. Root over his fiedgling rights it may not be a wholly bad idea. It Is pointed out, how ever, that great Secretaries of State and great lawyers do not always make great senators.

RELIEF WORK IS
 NEARLY FINISHED

Rome, January 1S.-The American re-
 lief committee which was organized for
 the purpose of directing the American
 charities in connection with the earth
 quake sufferers, has been dissolved. The
 committee met today Ambassador Gris-
 com presiding, and decided that the
 purpose for which it had been ap-
 pointed had been accomplished, the
 giving of immediate foreign aid, where
 aid was most urgently needed. The
 Italian authorities have now every thing well in hand and the American committee was unanimously of the opinion that it would be better to with
 draw than to continue as body in- definitely.
 While the committee will cease to
 take active part in the direction of the
 relief work. the individual members will
 lend their efforts to the securing of
 need still of funds.
 The committee has received addresses from the admirals, generals and mayors
 of cities in the earthquake zone, ex-
 pressing appreciation and gratitude for the delicate and tactful way in which American aid was so generously given. In cash alone, the relief party on the steamer Bayern distributed $3o,000 thus exceeding the estimates and be- ing obliged to borrow money. So urg- ent was the need at the hospitals; where thousands of refugees were be- ing cared for, that the medical supplies carried by the Bayern were soon ex- hausted. The vast supply of provis- ions on board the steamer proved all too small for the innumerable calls
 made upon it.
 The feature of the work of the Amer ican relief party was the speed dis played in coping with the situation.

BRUTALITY ASSAULTED AND CHOKED NEAR UNIVERSITY. FALLS UNCONSCIOUS IN HALL AT BOARDING HOUSE.

 Dr. Somerville, the college physician was immediately summoned and made a thorough examination. It is his opin. ion that MT. Merrill was attacked from the rear and later choked. There does not seem to be any doubt that the object of the assault was robbery, in- asmuch as Mir Merrill's pockets had been rifled, although his watch still remained on his person. During the night MT Merrill rested quietly and his condition this morning seems to be encouraging. He has several times reused from his stupol sufficiently to recognize his friends and to inquire if his watch was safe

It is claimed that after a struggle the po- lice seized and publicly tore the flag into strips and trampled it in the mud. MT.
