Hosom-Amenities of the Special
Session of Congress.
Washington. June 24.-TSpeciall-
Speaker Cannon has intimated strong
~ that he will announce the other com
mittees of the house on the last dav of
the extra session He does not diyu1pe
who among the leading Republicans
will get the more important chairman
ships outside of those who have been
named for the small number of corn
mitfees that were appointed in March.
1t is generally conceded that Uncle Joe
win have powerful weapon with
which to keep .'in the middle of the
road some of the Republicans Of the
house who have been afiliating with
the insurgents. 1t is even declared
that landing on good committees in
the case of some men will depend very
much on how they behave when the
contest takes place over the confer
ence reports on the tariff bill which
will have to be submitted from time to
time before the measure is finally e,S
acted into law. There is much reioic-
ing among members when they reflect
that they will not have to wait until
next winter to find out how they will
be placed on committees.
Anxiety About Committee Places.
The Democratic members Of the
house, as a rule, are uncertain as to
how they will fare when the commit
tees are made up The fear is that the
minority Representatives who bolted
their party caucus and helped the Re
publican organization to retain its grip
on things 1T the opening OF the SEES
sion will be well taken care of by I'm
Gle Joe at the expense of the stanch
followers CO Champ Clark Some of
these Democrats are already well
placed, notably Fitzgerald of New
New York, who landed on ways and
means. and Broussard of Louisiana,
who was put on the same committee.
Some of the other Democrats who
bottled will be put on leading commit
tees. like interstate and foreign COM
anerce. rivers and harbors. appropria-
lions. the judiciary and postofnces.
Speaker Cannon does not conceal his
|. intention Of making it hot for men on
both sides of the political fence who
.deied him and the regular Republican
organization of the house.
ro..trn,+ Ses the AaiMssn+aue
In the discussion of the wood pulp
and print paper schedule of the tariff
bill Senator Brown Of Nebraska. who
had offered amendments placing both
on the free list, was telling of the
great benefits that would be showered
upon the masses Of the people. Sena-
tor TilIman of South Carolina got into
the discussion and wanted to know If
the duty On these articles was greatly
reduced or removed entirely would the
publishers of newspapers in the large
cities reduce the price of newspapers
and lessen the cost Of advertising MI
Brown did not think this would be the
result. Then The South Carolinfan In
his pitcIforlS style declared that Il
newspapers asking for low duties on
their material did not also advocate
low duties On the clothes he wore they
were hulnbugs. and he hoped they
would not get the favor they were ask
ing Of congress.
