LAST OF The GANG.
Two More Counterfeiters Captured in.
New Jersey.

Washington. Dec. 29.-CaptureS
made last night near Newark N. j.,
of two more counterfeiters, are be-
lieved to have put the entire gang in
the hands of the secret service. Fol-
lowing the raids Tuesday night on the
plant in Brooklyn, when Jacob Dross,
Frank Speilburg and Aaron Silver were
taken with a peck of spurious quarters
and dimes and a. bushel basket full of
counterfeiting instruments, the detec-
tives trailed the remnants of the gang
into New Jersey.
Last night near Newark they took
Max Silver and David Garin and cap
tured the largest quantity of counter
felt coins ever found in one raid in
the history of the secret service. Seven
thousand dimes, one thousand quar-
tiers and sixty mouldszwere found with
the fugitiYes. ~. ~

fore the caucus.
McGilIicuddy Has a Show.
It is believed that one of the two
new Democratic members from Maine,
Daniel j. McGillicuddy. will be elected
to the committee A Mitchell Palmer
of Pennsylvania is another likely can
dfdate. He served on the Pinchot-Bal-
finger investigating committee and
showed himself a man of ready. and
dependable ability. Probably Mr..
Rainey of Illinois, who has made some
of the most trenchant speeches on
tariff matters can get a place. From
Missouri the choice lies between Mr.
Lloyd, the Democratic whip and
Judge Shaekleford. The latter has the
support of majority of the state dele
cation, but may prefer the chairman
ship of the committee on the District
of Columbia, of which he is the rank
ing minority member. The delegations
of Indiana and Ohio are expected to
put forward candidates. General Sher-
wood of Ohio is likely to be the mem
Der from his state.
1t is not believed wise that the eau
Gus will instruct the new committee
in the method it shall pursue, whether
to prepare a complete general tariff
measure or separate bills Mr. Under
wood is in favor of separate bills. and

w. II. Mackey. United States marshal,
mas received word that James Anderson,
arrested in connection with the Neodesha
mail pouch robbery, may be wanted by
the state in connection with the Bern
hardt murder at Olathe. Anderson, it is

CROSS INTO SONORA.
Mexican Rebels Invade State Hitherto
Undisturbed.

Douglas, Ariz., Dec. 29.-Rebel activ-
ity in Mexico has manifested itself in
the state of Sonora for the first time.
A band of instructors, evidently
marching from Chihuahua, have ar
rived at the mining camp east of Ma
cozari.
Fifty regular Mexican troops arrived
carly today at Aguaprieta across the
border from Douglas. having marched
overland from Naco. It was announced
that they would proceed to NacozaTi
with the intention of meeting the rebel
band.
The leader at Naeozari spoke good
English and inquired. at the mining
camps if the mines were owned by
Americans When informed that they
were he assured the Americans they
would not be molested. The leader
said he had been educated in Chicago
and was a stranger in Sonora.
The regular soldiers searched the
houses Of Mexican employees, taking all
guns and ammunition Some of the
Mexicans were impressed into service
and others Joined of their own accord.

RIVER BETWEEN THEM.
Armies of Hayti and San Domingo
Have Not Come Together.

Washington, Dec. 29-While the
armies of Rayti and San Domingo are
rnassed on either side of the Perdanales
river, no fighting has taken place, &C
cording to dispatches received by the
war department from United States
customs officials.
The Clyde line steamship Cherokee,
which took seven hundred soldiers to
the Dominican side of the river. landed
the troops in good order and returned
to Santo Domingo. There are probably
twice as many Haytien troops on the
opposite side OF the river. The Domini-
can gunboat Independence, which con-
voyed the Cherokee to the Perdenales
river, is expected to return to Santo
Domingo. This reinforces the belief
that llostilities will be avoided and that
the boundary dispute will be settled by
the committee to be appointed by the
two countries.
The only danger at the present time
seems to lie in the possibility of the OPP
posing armies getting beyond control
of the governmental authorities.

Underwood to Head Committee.
oscar Underwood of Alabama, now
the ranking Democratic member, is
expected to be elected chairman of
the new committee by reclamation.
From time to time criticisms have
been offered on the choice of Mr.. I'm
derwood, because he comes from the
Birmingham district and has largely
these, however, have been put the
character and record of Mr.. Under
wood. He came into the house after
the passage of the Wilson tariff and
has participated in the two great tar
iff struggles since that time, which
resulted in the passage of the Dingley
and the Payne-Aldrich tariffs The
most ardent low tariff men believe in
him and the ultra-conservative men of
both sides of the house are Outspoken
in their recognition of his ability and
integrity AS chairman of the more
powerful ways and means committee
he would be the leader of the house,
and it is planned. as an evidence of
confidence, to choose him by acclama-
ton.
There are other Democrats on the
present committee who, under the
old method of selection, would be re-
tanned by reason of their service.
Champ Clark, the present ranking
member will retire when he becomes
sneaker The member next in length
of service after Mr.. Underwood is Mr..
Pou of North Carolina, who has indi-
Gated his intention not to serve long
er. His vote with the Republican pro-
tectionists on the lumber duties in the
Pavne-Aldrich bill has been much dis
cussed among his colleagues, and Mr.
Pou acknowledges the force of the OBJ
lection that is made to his further SER
vice on the committee. The same OBJ
lection is made against Mr.. Broussard
of Louisiana, who voted with the Re
publicans for the sugar schedules in
the present tariff, and Brantley of
Georgia, who voted for the Payne

the consensus of opinion among house
Democrats is that the fight should be
made first of all on certain highly un-
popular schedules. such as those on
wool, cotton and sugar
Mr.. Underwood favors in a mild way
a permanent tariff commission, but the
committee that will result from the
caucus action will probably have a
majority against such body. The
Democratic leaders say that they can
get all the information they desire at
slight cost, without setting up another
bureau which will be a drain on the
treasury.
