Negative Votes.
Washington April 29.-The senate
formally organized for business by
adopting the list of appointments to
committees drawn up by the majority
of both parties.
The expected fight against the adop-
tion of the lists threatened by the
progressive Republicans did not de
velop, Senator La Toilette contenting
himself with reading a formal protest
against the selections made by the
regular Republicans.
The La Toilette statement, pre-
pared at a conference of the thirteen
progressiyes, Senator Kenyon, the new
senator from Iowa, having Joined the
original twelve, set forth at some
length the growth of the so called pro-
gressive movement in the Republican
party. II asserted that the progress
sive Republicans entertain marked
and well defined differences of opin'
ion from the regulars; that the pro
gressives now have more than one
fourth OF the Republican membership
in the senate and they have become
q Settled and established fact in po-
litical history"
The progressives, it was claimed
had a right to one-fourth representa-
tion on the various committees. The
protest was directed especially
against the finance committee, on
which the insurgents" wished to
place Senator Bristow. and the inter.
state commerce committee, on which
Mr.. La Toilette desired a place.

of persons not friendly to advanced

that the finance committee had beer

When Mr. La Toilette had conclud

An unusually unfortunate
event occurred last Sunday
night in the burning of the resi-
dknce of Mr.. D. B. Walker, on
Ellis Street and Railroad Avenue.
Mr.. and Mrs. Walker were across
town, sitting up with a sick
child, when the fire was disr
covered by someone passing by.
The belief is that the fire was
started by rats eating matches,
since the whole roof was ablaze
before the fire was discovered.
All of their clothing, bed ding and
the better part of the furniture
we're burned, while that which
was saved was so badly damaged
as to render it unfit for use
