ARE GETTING TOGETHER.
Personnel of the New Rules Commit
tee Is About Fixed.

Washington, March 23.-There was
a gradual getting together today of
the Republican regulars on the ques-
ton of selecting the members of the
new rules committee of the house to
be chosen at the party caucus tonight.
From all sources, it seemed to be the
general opinion that the following Re
publicans would be named:
Dalzeu (Pa.), Smith (Ia.). Fassett
IN. W, Longworth (O.), Lawrenc &c
(Mass.), Kahn (CaL).
The tentative selections are arranged
in the order of their probable choice
There is no doubt about the first two,
who are members of the present rules
committee. Fassett and Longworth
are practically certain. Lawrence and
Kahn are more in doubt. but If they
filled by Mccall (Mass.) and Smith
(Cal). The latter is not satisfactory
to the insurgents, however. The in
surgents today seemed fairly we'll
there was no prospect that a member
of their faction would be placed on
the committee, the insurgents them
selves have not insisted on it. The
personnel of the above named commit
tee Is satisfactory to most of them.
Some Of the insurgents may not at
tend the caucus tonight, but the ma
Jority will do SO. There was little hos
tile talk among them today. Unex-
pected signs of revolt have appeared
III the Democratic camp. Representa-
tive Fitzgerald N. Y. is the bone of
contention. He led the band of %
Democrats of the reservation at the
beginning of the present session when
they left the leadership of Champ Clark
and voted with the Republicans for
the adoption of the present rules.
1t has always been charged by the
more faithful followers of Clark that
for this treason Fitzgerald was given
his place on the retiring rules commit
tee Now that it is proposed to allow
Mr.. Fitzgerald to retain his place on
the new committee by electing him
In the Democratic caucus Thursday
night, signs of discomfort are appear
ing.
The fact that Fitzgerald voted with
the party consistently during the recent
turmoil has greatly mitigated what was
regarded as his former offense in the
eyes of the Clark followers but there
are still a score or more Democrats,
who are opposed to him.

AFTER THE PACKERS.
Prosecutor Applies to the Governor
for Extradition Papers.

Trenton, N. J.. March 23.-Prose-
cutor Garvin of Hudson county today
made application to Governor Fort for
the extradition of Louis F. Swift of
Swift & Co. and Edward Morris Of
Morris & Co.. who are under fndict-
ment on the charge of conspiracy in
connection with the charge that the
cold storage Of these companies are
made use of for the purpose of raising
the price of meat.
Governor Fort took no action and
is keeping his promise made last week
to Samuel Untermeyer, counsel for the
packing companies, that he will give
a hearing before the extraditions are
allowed.
The supreme court today allowed
the writ of certiorari as applied for by
counsel for the packing companies in
connection with the proceedings to
have the western meat concerns bring
their books into New Jersey for in
spection by the grand jury.

occurred.
