The value of the lands in controver.
sy is rated at not less than $5.O0O.-

ROBERT L. HENRY OF WACO.
TEXAS, WILL PROBABLY BE
CHAIRMAN.
SHAPE PARTY POLICY
SEVEN DEMOCRATIC MEMDERS
ARE sELEcreo-FouR REpuD.
LIcANs NAMED LATER.

Washingt0n.-The rules committee,
one of the most powerful of the House
committee OF the SiXty-second Con.
gress. with Representative Robert l..
Henry of Waco. Texas. at its head,
was formally selected by the new
house ways and means committee at
its first meeting.
The ways and means committee,
which is charged under caucus dictum
with the function of selecting the COM
nittees. is not empowered to name
the chairman, but 1t recommended to
the new rules committee that 1t elsct
Mr.. Henry as chairman, which is
tantamount to designation at this time.
The following were announced as
the seven Democratic members
Robert Lee. Henry. Texas; Edward W.
Pon. Smithfield. N. c.: Thomas W.
Hardwick, Sandersville, Ga; Augustus
o. Stanley. Henderson. KY; Finis J.
Garrett, Dresden. Tenn; Martin d.
Foster, Olney, ILL.,, and Matthew r.
Denver. Wilmington. Ohio.
The committee will consist of eleven
members. The four Republicans will
be chosen by the Republicans later,
along with the other Republican per.
sonnel of committees OF the new
house
The members were named In order
of their seniority of service. Mr..
Hardwick and Mr.. Stanley had served
in Congress the same period and the
service of Messrs. Foster and Den
yer has been identical. and to choose
the priority Of rank of these, in each
case. the members of the ways and
means committee drew lots, resulting
in the order given.
There was some discussion of the
programme Of tariff revision, but the
committee is deliberating carefully
over that, which is the greatest task
before It. The committee expects to
report its programme to Congress
soon after April 4th.
The Democratic members realize
there is considerable difference of
opinion among their party associates
in the House as to the methods of
revising the tariff. some favoring
wholesale work on the bill, and others
wanting to amend it schedule by
schedule, in accordance with the views
of leaders like Clark and Underwood.
There Is no conclusion as to wheth-
sr the schedules are to be tackled to
the Canadian reciprocity bill, but the
bill itself will carry Out tho tormo M
the agreement in good faith.

ASK CONGRESS TOSAW
BIG GAME IN WYOMING
Herds Of Elk Said to Be Starv-
ing in and Around YeI-
I0Wstone Park.

10 prevent the extinction of tho big
game Of northern Wyoming Congress
has been importuned to appropriate $780,
600. to be expended with a similar sum
appropriated by the legislature of that
state.
A petition was received by the Senate
yesterday from the Wyoming legislature
and 1t was supported by a long tele-
gram from Gov. Carey and an urgent
letter to Senator Lodge from DR.. w. I.
Hornaday Of the New York geological
park.
1t Is stated that there are about $4,000
elk alone which in summer roam in
Yellowstone Park. but in the winter
invade the Jackson Hole country. They
break down fences and attack the hay
stacks of farmers, but without the feed
thus obtained it was estimated that not
fewer than 5000 Of them would die Of
starvation during February.
Gov. Carey expresses the opinion that
the surplus elk could be removed to the
Big Horn mountains, where he says
there Is an abundance of feed and sug-
gests that a company of cavalry be de-
tailed in aid experienced cattlemen in
removing the animals.
The request for assistance from the
national authorities is based on the fact
that a great many of the elk roam in
Yellowstone Park, which is under fed
eral jurisdiction.

CATCHES ODOR OF FISH.
Policeman Hall Exercises the Sher-
lock Holmes Detective Quality.

The odor of fried fish coming from a
shanty in an alley near 18th and U
streets northwest yesterday afternoon not
only sharpened the appetite Of Policeman
J. w. Hall of the eighth precinct. but II
also aroused his Sherlock Holmes in
stinct
He recalled that Capt. Doyle had read
something about fish having been stolen
late Friday night or early yesterday
morning from cookshop in the rear of
AGO Pierce place. and he thought it was
possible that the stolen fish were being
fried in that shanty.
"Watso' was not on hand to tell him
his deductions were marvellous or that
there was anything strange about the
robbery. so the mystery had to be solved
alone.
Canned goods and jars of preserves had
also been stolen. The policeman reasoned
that If the fish in the pan We're the bass
that had been taken from the establish
ment of Edward Terrence the canned
goods would also be in evidence. And
shortly after he entered the shanty he
saw some of the canned goods.
Samuel Jefferson, thirty-fiye years of
age; Charles Whitley, thirty-five years,
and Isaiah Ross. better known as Duke, y
colored men, were arrested and charged
with having committed the robbery. JEFF
ferson gave his address as 1903 Oregon
avenue, Whitley said he lived at 22.1 18TH
street and Ross said his home was in
Hutton court.
Jefferson and Ross. the police say, were
released from the workhouse at Occoquan.
Va. about three weeks ago. Each de-
PENDANT denied that he had entered the
store, blaming the others for the rob-
berry. charge of .housebreaking was
preferred against the trio. Tomorrow
they will be given Q hearing before Judge
Mullowny.

PARAGUAY NOW FACES

ably Opposes Col. lara.

BUENOS AIRES, February 25.-Advices
received her today state that another
revolutionary movement has begun in
Paraguay.
The political situation in Paraguay has
been involved for some time. Early in
the present year Col. Alberto lara, the
then minister Of war. got the upper hand
Of the government and forced the resig-
nations Of President Manuel Gondra and
Vice President Juan Gaena.
On January 10 the Paraguayan congress
accepted the designations and elected
lara president of the republic. lara re-
ceived good majority. but the choice
was not unanimous.
Since that time the news from Asun-
cfon. the capital, has been censored. but
advices from Buenos Aires have stated
that lara was unable to maintain the
support OF a majority in congress and
that certain deputies made trouble by in
quiring about his employment Of national
funds while minister of war.
Two weeks ago advices from the same
sources set forth that lara had dis
solved congress, established a dictator
ship and proclaimed Senior Ortis, who
was minister of finance in the cabinet
of President Gondra, president of the
republic. lara. it was said. had re-
turned to the post of minister of war
