IF REED IS ELECTED SPEAKER Hermann to Have the Chairmanship of the Klvera and Harbor., and Burrows the Ways and Means Chairmanship The Appropriations In Ioulit, Wahwnqton, November 20. The House Committees which are expected to he of the greatest importance in the next Congress are those on Ways and Means, Appropriations, Rules, Banking and Currency, Coinage, Weights and Measures, Rivers and Harbors, and Pub lic Buildings and Grounds. The first three named always head the list in or der of importance. The others are ex pected to assume importance in the next Congress because of the specittl condi tions which will prevail during that Congress. The Banking Committee will certainly be one of the most important committees on the list, if there Bhould be an effort, as it is hinted there may be, to revise the currency laws and change the present B.VBtem. The probability of an ell'ort to secure silver legislation and the further probability that the Repub lican party when it comes into power in House may want to formulate a policy . on this question, will have the effect also of advancing the Coinage Committee to a position of the first rank. The Rivera ami Harlmrs and Public Buildings Com mittees will have the delicate task of providing for public improvements, so far as the committees of the House can accomplish this work. With so many new men as there will be on the Repuhlican side of Congress, and all of them feeling that it will be necessary for them to make a showing to their constituents, there will natural ly be a pretty general clamor for ap propriations for postoffice buildings, custom-houses and river and harbor im provements. While the Republican party has always shown a disposition to ward liberality in public improvements, there is probability of an effort to hold their miscellaneous appropriations as low as possible. The low condition of the treasury and the fact that a Presi dential election will be so near at hand will prove strong arguments in this di rection, as will the possibility of a Presi dential veto. The Republicans at pres ent have six of the seventeen members of the Rivers and Harbors Committee, and all their members have been re elected except Henderson of Illinois. With Henderson out of the way Her mann of Oregon takes first place in the R-pnblin membership of the Com mittee, with Stephens of Michiean, Hooker of New York, Grotvenorof Ohio, and Reybarn of Pennsylvania following in the order named. It cannot, of course, be known whether the next Speaker will follow the seniority rule. If he should, Hermann would become Chairman. Milliken of Maine leads the Repub lican membership of tbe Committee on KITCHEN FURNITURE, 1'0T8 AND PANS, KETTLES AND CANS, fact, everything In tho line of Kitnlion I Utontils should be ptirciiaseu at neiiomy a lium-h's store.

Public Buildings, and tbe chances are, if Reed becomes Speaker, Milliken will be made Chairman of this committee. Morse of Massachusetts is the only Re publican member of the committee re turned. Only three of the old Repub lican members of the Committee on Banking and Currency are re-elected. They are Walker of Massachusetts, Rus sell of Connecticut and Johnson of In diana. Walker is the senior member, and his chances for the Chairmanship are the beBt. Of the six present Repub lican members of the Committee on Coinage, Weights and Measures five have been re-elected to the Fifty-fourth Con gress. They are in the order named: Stone of Pennsylvania, Johnson of North Dakota, I'inglcy of Maine, Hager of Iowa and Aldrich of Illinois. Stone would naturally become Chairman of the committee if he desired the place. In the natural order of events Bur rows of Michigan will become Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee. With Reed in the Speaker's chair there is little doubt that he will be given this important post, which carries with it the Republican leadership on the floor of the House, if he fails in his ambition to succeed Senator Patton in the Senate. With Keed in the Speaker's chair and Burrows in the Senate there would be only three Republican members of the present committee left to choose from, these being Payne of New York, Dalzell of Pennsylvania and Hopkins of Illinois. Henderson of Iowa is the ranking Re publican member of the Appropriations Committee, with Cogswell of Massachu setts, Bingham of Pennsylvania, Ding ley of Maine, Grout of Vermont and Cannon of Illinois coming in the order named. It is possible that neither Can non nor Henderson will be given the Chairmanship in the event of Burrows becoming Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee; the probabilities are strong that the East would demand the Chairmanship of the next most impor tant committee, which would be the Ap propriations. In that contingency Cogs well's chances for being promoted to the head of the committee would be excel lent. If Reed . becomes Speaker of the Honse, the Republican membership of the Committee on Rules will probably be composed of himself and the Chair men of the Appropriations and Ways and Means Committees. He pursued this plan in the Fifty-first Congress, and there is reason to believe that he would revive it rather than imitate Crisp's pol icy of distributing the honors. THEY WILL LECTURE. Walte of Colorado and Breckinridge to O. oa the Platform. Denver, November 20. Governor Wait has decided to go upon the lecture platform. He will make a short tour in the West before hii term expires, de livering his first lecture at St. Louis and going from there to Chicago. After his term expires he will lecture in the East. BBECKIXRIDGK OS THE TARIFF. Lexington, Ky., November 20. C. D. Hess in an interview to-night said that the report that he had contracted with Colonel W. C. P. Breckinridge for a lect ure tour was true, and that the Colonel would begin at once. Ilia first subject will be " Ten Year Among Tariff Reformers." WORDEN TO HANG The Date for Ilia Execution Set for February 12, 1895. THE CASE TO BE APPEALED The Condemned Man Wa Convicted of Wrecking a Southern PaolBo Train During; the Big Strike Heard Hi. Doom Without Betraying- Kmotlon... Woodland, November 19. The court room was crowded long before 7:30 this evening, the hour fixed for pass ing sentence upon Worden, the train' wrecker. In the crowd were many ladies. The court excluded all jurors in the Hatch trial. When asked if he bad anything to say why sentence should not be passed Mr. Strong, attorney for Wor den, moved to set aside tbe verdict for reasons, first, that the court erred in in structing the jury in matter of law, and second, that the verdict is contrary to the law and evidence. Mr. Strong con tnded that the court erred in not in structing the jury that it might bring in a verdict of murder in the first or second decree, or of not guilty. He read numer ous decisions on that point. On the sec ond point Mr. Strong contended that, if It De admitted mat an me testimony in troduced by the defense be true, only murder in tne secona degree naa oeen proven Mr. Uook in reply reuu iroin the instructions to the grand jury show ing that the court not only instructed in regard to the two degrees of murder, but defined both. He contended that the instructions expressly stated that the three forniB of verdict submitted to the iurv were moved noon bv counsel on both sides, all three of whom were present. Counsel also produced the statutes of 181)1 tosliow that removing a rau,wneiner life is taken or not. is an offense punish able either bv imprisonment for life or death, as, the jury may elect. Judge Armstrong aUo addressed the court in opposition to the motion, and Judge Bush closed tlie argument, in Buppori oi it. The court after reviewing the argu ment and instructions denied Mr. Strons's motion that the case be dis missed on the ground that tbe court had no jurisdiction; that the government was in control of the road and Engineer Clark was in the service of the United StateB at the time the train was wrecked. Mr. Cook had cited many decisions in opposition to Mr. Strong. The court said be did not ueeire to oeiay tne mat ter bv an examination of these authori ties. Proceedings had been taken under the advice of tne Attorney-General of the United States, and if an error had been committed, the Supreme Court can correct it. A motion for arrest of judg ment was dented. The court called uuon Worden to stand up, and sentenced him to be banged in the State prison at Folsom Tuesday, February 12, 1895, between the hours of 10 a. m. and 2 p. m. Judge Grant was much affected as he Dronounced the sen tence, but Worden heard bis doom with out betraying any evidence of emotion. Women's attorneys nave announceu their intention to appeal the case to the Supreme Court. The crime for which Worden is sen tenced was committed July 11 last dur ing the irreat strike. A train was sent out from Sacramento under the guard of United States soldiers, and was wrecked at a bridge crossing in Yolo countv. The spikes were drawn from one of the ties and tie left in position. The engineer in charge of the train, Clarke, and two sol diers were killed. The Output of Flour. Chicago, November 19. Twelve mill ers, representing 600 merchant flouring mills with a daily capacity of 380,000 barrels, met in secret session at tbe Auditorium to-day to consider the prop osition to reduce the output 100,000 bar rels of flour a day for thirty days, or 3,000,000 barrels in all. The scheme was proposed some time ago, owing to a large unmerchantable surplus, but the recent better demand for flour and an advance in price has, it was claimed, changed the complexion of the siuation, and the opinion was expressed bv some of those present that no curtailment would be ordered. It is not thought, however, that a decision will be reached before to morrow. Those present represented mills in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Minne sota, Wisconsin, Missouri and North Dakota. Hatter for the Courts. Washington, November 19. The In dian office is doing nothing in the mat ter of telegrams received from the Indian agent at Muskogee, I. T., regarding the Cook gang of desperadoes. He has been informed that the troops asked for can not under the law be sent into the In dian Territory. It is stated at the In dian office that the whole affair is one with which the agent need not concern himself, as it is under the jurisdiction of the courts. The Indian office has given him permission to use the Indian police in co-operation with the United States Marshals, but further than this he has no jurisdiction. Rebels the Attackers. New York, November 19. A special to the World from Valparaiso, Chili, says : The British Minister to Peru has asked for help, and has protested against the attack on the British ship Siren at Salaveri early this month. The Peru vian government claims it is not respon sible, as tbe rebels were the attackers. The British Minister is said to have threatened to leave, going aboard a war ship. The British squadron is expected shortly. Aa a Military Obaerver. Ban Francisco, November 19. Karl von Steinmetz, a Captain in the German army and a son of General von Stein metz, one of the most distinguished armv officers in Germany, baa arrived from the East en route to China. He is under orders to leave for the Orient on the next steamer, but for what pnrpose be haa not aa yet been advised. He ex pects telegraphic instructions before the steamer sails. It is understood, how ever, that be is going to China to watch the operations of tbe two contending armies. r I ( ti t f n la East Africa. London, November 19. Mail advices from Witu, East Africa, dated the mid dle of October, say sharp fighting baa taken place on the Tana river between 200 Somalia and five Europeans accom panied by twenty-five natives.

Timothy Healy, Edward Blake and William O'Brien were the speaker!. THREE LIVES PUT OUT. Dome.tlo Trouble! C'au.e a Double Mur der and Suicide. Elmiba, N. Y., November 19. This city was startled this afternoon over a report that a triple murder had been committed on Hudson street. The facts are briefly these: M. V. Straight, who conducts a flour and feed store, and his wife have not lived together for the past few weeks on account of domestio diffl culties. This morning Mr. Straight sent a note to bis wife asking forgiveness and requesting her to take him bock. She failed to reply. This angered the hus band, and he purchased a 38-caliber Smith & Wesson revolver of five cham bers, although he already had another revolver of like pattern. This afternoon he saw his wife and her siBter. Mrs. Mary Whitford, in the business part of ,i ...ii i .i :i .!.!. vue city, lie luuuweu vuuui uiii.ii wivu- in 100 feet of their home, when he ran up behind them to within ten feet and emptied the contents of one revolver at them both. He then drew the other weapon and fired again at Mrs. Whit ford. After firing the last shot he re marked. "I gueBS I've fixed both of vou," and emptied the other four cham bers into his body near the heart. Meanwhile a crowd gathered in the vicinity of the tragedy, but no one dared to come near him. Straight realized that thev were afraid of him, and shout ed that he would not hurt any one, as he had killed those he waa after. Neigh bors then removed all parties to the house. Mrs. Straight waa shot three times in the back, the balls lodging in the abdominal cavity and the base of the lungs. She died at 7 o'clock this nomine. Mrs. Whitford was shot twice, one ballpiercing the arm and lodging in the posterior side of the thorax and tbe other shattering the spinal column near Its base, the is still alive, Dut is sinn ing rapidlv. The murderer was removed to theOzifen hospital, and regained con sciousness for several hours. He graph ically described the murder to tlie Dis trict Attorney. He is now unconscious, and death is but a question of a few hours. The parties are all well known, respectable citizens of Elmira, and the tragedy has created great excitement. THAT OPIUM. After All It Hay Not Have Been Legal ly Imported. Tacoma, November 19. The 200 pounds of Hong Kong opium that came over on the steamship Sikh is being de tained by the custom-house authorities and will doubtless be seized. The opium was consigned to a Portland Chinese firm, and, duty paid, is worth about $2,500. Under the commercial treaty entered into between the United States and China, and known as the treaty of 1881, there is a very clear and explicit clause prohibiting Chinese from import ing opium into this country nnder any circumstances. Special Treasury Agent Leslie Cullom says that ty reason oi this clause the drug cannot be dis charged here. Deputy Collector Dorsey has detained the opium, and will pre sent the case to Collector Saunders for his action. The seizure, however, 1b practically made. - SufTerlng for Faith'. Sake. Washington, November 19. An in teresting feature of the Seventh Day Adventists' conference waa a recital in the report of Secretary B. S. Horton, which was read to-day, of the persecu tions in which the denomination is sub jected in certain localities. It is reported that two members are in jail at Center ville, Md., for chopping wood on Sun day, In some places it has been impos sible to induce insurance companies to insure church property on account oi fear of incendiarism, and the Secretary said he had oft been served with whitecap notices for trvinir to conduct meetings. The report showed a membership of 854,000 in good standing in the United states. Trying to Iteoover. Chicago. November 19. " Lucky " Baldwin has filed a bill in the Circuit Court to prevent the enforcement of a judgment of $3,428, recovered against him by John McClelland, in which gar nishment proceedings have been taken against the Washington Park Club.

The State Mineralogist's report shows that during 1893 California more than doubled the silver output of the previous year, producing tW7,155 aa against $202,500. The increase was almost entirely due to San Bernardino county, the ores of the Calico mine being worked more cheaply than any other silver ore on the Coast. The gold output was practically the same in both years. This year forty hydraulic mines, winch nave been unprouueuvu for years, are again boing operated. The State Mineralogist believes this will in crease the gold output from $12,000,000 to $16,000,000, and that it will be main tained at the larger figure for some years. Soldier. Orphan.' Home Snlt. New York, November 19. Russell Sage and George Gould moved before Justice Truax of the Supreme Court to day for an extension of time to answer In the action bronght by the Soldiers' Orphans' Home of St. Louis to recover $11,000,000 for the bondholders of the Kansas City road.

Woman Suffrage Tote. Topkica, Kan., November 19. Chair man Breidenthal of the People's party State Central Committee has compiled reports, from all the counties in the State, with tbe exception of five of the smaller ones in the extreme western part, of the vote on woman suffrage. His fignres show a majority against the amendment of 31,175, and complete re turns will probably not alter these fig nres to exceed 200. The Rumor Denied. Vancouver, B. C, November 17. C. D.

THE REASON WHY George K. Whitworth Took the Life of Chancellor Allison. MORE LIGHT ON THE MATTER Ha Furnished the Honey for Campaign Kxpenaea, and Was Then FJected From His Clerkship Murderer Stead ily Sinking and Kxpected to Die. Nashvim.b, Tenn., November 17. George K. Whitworth, who yesterday fired two bullets Into his own body after killing Chancellor Allison, has been steadily sinking all day, and is expected to die before morning. Further light was thrown on the cause of the tragedy when there was filed with the County Register to-day a deed of assignment, signed by Whitworth in favor of the Fourth National Bank, in trust to secure the payment of $0,000 d ue the bank by Whitworth. This leaves no doubt that Whitworth was financially involved. Allison owed him, so he claimed, about $30,000, and on the street the under standing was that this obligation was incurred by Allison in the course of the recent political campaign. It is further assertou that a part of this amount Al lison retuscd to repay on legal grounds. Whitworth was incensed that he should have spent thiB money to re-elect Alli son, and that Allison should then not only refuse to repay, but should eject Wlntworiu iroin nis oitice. Allison's failure to pay up also made it necessary for Whitworth to make the assignment, which waa filed this morning. Whit worth has said since the tragedy that he and Allison could not breathe the same air or live on the same earth. THE LABOR LEADERS. Proposition Made to Unite All Kilstlng Organisations. New Orleans, November 17. The morning session of the Knights of Labor was consumed listening to an address by George Howard, Vice-President of the American Railway Union, who presented a proposition for the consolidation of all the labor organizations of the country into one vast body under a single board of management and with amalgamation interests. He believed that, if such a plan were adopted, labor would be in a position more completely to have its wrongs redressed and more speedily to obtain its rights. Grand Master Sover eign spoke in lavor ol plan proposed Dy Howard, and later delivered his annual address, which was an exhaustive and elaborate reBunie of the work of the or der from its inciniencv. He attributed the decrease in membership of the order to tne depression in uueineno unuico. prevalent bankruptcy, low wages and forced Idleness of tlie laboring classes. He stated that he had traveled 36,41(4 miles since his stewardship and had or ganized eleven assemblies and made ninety-seven public addresses, iteier ring to the American Railway Union af filiation, he advised coalition with this us well as with all labor organizations. His resume of the Pullman strike ter minated in severe criticism of Major General Suhofield and the recommenda tions of that officer for an increase in tlie army, together with the action of Chicago's millionaire aristocracy. He said the latter's presentation of a stand of colors to the Fifteenth Infantry was an indication of "an uneasy desire to subjugate, labor through tlie military power of the nation." He urged the assembly to take a strong ground against an increase of the military force of the nation, and that it advocate a decrease in the regular army and the abolition of the State militia, for from it is coming to the surface the sentiment of a mili tary despotism. Verdict of Not Guilty. "Walla Walla, November 17. In the United States Court this afternoon the jury in the case against Pimps, an In dian charged with the murder of Indian Jake, brought in a verdict of not guilty. The Indians live on the Yakima reser vation. December 13, 180, Jake sud denly disappeared. He was last seen near Yakima City in company with Pimps and another Indian. Jake was drunk at the time, and Pimps was beat ing him over the head with rocks. March, 1H!I4, the body of Jake was found in the river about fifteen miles below Yakima. Pimps was arrested and brought here. He was indicted by the grand jury lasl May, and has since been in jail here. In testifying in his own behalf Pimps claimed Jake rode into the river while drunk and was drowned. Sworn In by the Kinperor. Bkhlin, November 17. In the Lust garten to-day the Emperor administered the oath of allegiance to some new re cruits, and in his address said: "I greet you as my soldiers. To be good soldiers yon must be good Christians. Yon will have to guard and fight for the welfare of the fatherland, and always re member the colors before you must never be 'insulted. Obey the oath you have taken and be courageous, despising death. Think of jour oath and you will become good soldiers. Never forget that you are called to be the defenders of the fatherland, and that it 1b incumbent upon you to protect the order and re ligion of your country. Now go and do your duty taught you by my command." Mot Mow Liable to Deportation. New York, November 17. Charles Wilfred Mowbray, the English anarch ist, cannot be deported until his actions or language make him liable to punish ment. Immigration' Commissioner Sen- ner said yesterday that, although Mow bray bad entered the country under an assumed name, he was not liable under any law regarding the admission of im migrants. " We have no action against him," said Dr. Senner. " We have no law that will touch bim ; so, of course, I can take no action in the matter." Mowbray got past the inspectors on Ellis Island by using a fictitious name. He had shaved oil bis mustache, wbicb changed his appearance completely. Guatemala Preparing for War.

They Are Charged With Acta of Crime During the Coal Strike. New York, November 17. The Herald says: " Seven men were placed nnder lock and key In the jail in Ridgeway, Pa., yesterday morning, and they will be closely guarded until they are brought to trial. They are coal miners, and at their doors are laid vicious deeds of violence, tbe least of which is the burn' ing of valuable property, the waylaying and beating of men who are working in their places, plotting to kill their em ployers and ending In killing a boy. when the house of a non-nnlon worker was blown up with dynamite. The news was sent to Detective Barring by his partner, Daniel McSweeney. who, armed with warrants and guarded by six of his most trusted assistants, went to the miners houses in the dead of night and drugged the men out of their beds and away to jail, and it is the belief that be fore many hours have passed the com pany of the jail birds will be increased bv nearl v a dozen, who are to be arrested on charges of being implicated In the outlawry. Those who are now in jail are: Frank Myers, who is charged with murder and arson, bavins been, it is said, the ringleader in the burning and destruction of property and having in stigated the blowing up of a house with dynamite, the result being the death of a boy and the maiming of several other persona. It is said that Myers has served a term in prison, having been found guilty of cutting a boy's throat. Ludwig Rosenbeck, charged with mur der and arson, having manufactured the bomb which killed the boy. Ed Fox, charged with murder and arson in hav ing touched olf the bomb. .Leo worm, charged with murder and arson in hav ing applied the torch to many houses that were burned. Sebastian Schwent ner, charged with arson. Joseph Geitel, accused of arson when the strikes were inaugurated in the bituminous coal re gions in Pennsylvania last summer. No miners were more concerned than were those in Elk county and in the north western part of the State, and when the mines were closed none became more vindictive or riotous." SHOT FROM AMBUSH. The Cowardly Revenge of a Slanderer In Georgia. Dublin, Ga., November 17. Five men are in jail here, charged with the mur der of Captain David Williamson, one of the most prominent planters in this State. Captain Williamson has s beau tiful wife. He heard that a neighbor named Jackson had made disparaging remarks about her to a number of per sons, offering himself as a witness of the truth of what he said. Williamson called upon the offender and challenged him as to the truth of his statement. The man broke down under the challenge, whereupon at the niuizle of a shotgun Captain Williamson marched the Blan derer to the presence of the woman compelled him to humbly acknowledge his slander. The Captain then tied Jackson to a tree, bared his back and gave him fifty lashes in tne most vigor ous manner, after which he turned him loose. Several days later the dead body of Captain Williamson was found on the puuuc roau, uia uuuy iairiy riuuicu uj bullet hole.-. One of the men under ar rest acknowledged that the murder of Captuin Williamson was planned by Jackson, who paid them for disposing of his enemy. To Inquire Into Greshain'e Course. Washington, November 17. Repre sentative Bellamy Storer of the Com. milteo on Foreign Affairs of the House intends presenting to Congress, when it reassembles, a resolution of inquiry as to the action of Secretary Gresham in suggesting to China and Japan that this country will act as mediator in the set tlement of the present war. The reso lutions when drawn will ask for infor mation as to whether any departure from the traditional policy ol tne gov ernment, as embodied in the Monroe doctrine, is contemplated by the execu tive branch in becoming a lacior in Asi atic entanglements. Mr. Storer says he had no desire to embarrass the executive branch in any foreign policy that they wish to pursue; but as a member of tbe committee on foreign affairs be says such a foreign policy as is now contain plated should properly have the atten tion and judgment of Congress.
