AFTERNOON SESSION
II had been expected that President
Chillingworth would announce the
standing committees at the opening Of
the afternoon session, but no an
nouneeinent materialized Meanwhile
the Democrats had had their heads to-
gether and it is believed that their rep
resentation on the committees was the
subject under discussion. The Demo
Gratis being seven to the eight Repub-
leans, the former necessarily have the
smaller committee honors. 1t is sup,
posed, however, that there is among
them a divergence of opinion rs to
which Bourbons shall be on the respec.
tive committees President Chilling
worth, seemingly grieved, did not care
to diyulge the inwardpess Of the situa.
ton. He expects to announce the com
mittees today.
