THE NEXT HOUSE
How the Members Stand in Re
lation to Chairmanships.
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

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.

Denver, November 20. Governor
Wait has decided to go upon the lecture
platform. He will make a short tour in

livering his first lecture at St. Louis
and going from there to Chicago. After
his term expires he will lecture in the

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

ever, that be is going to China to watch
the operations of tbe two contending
armies.

London, November 19. Mail advices
from Witu, East Africa, dated the mid

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.

Chicago. November 19. " Lucky "
Baldwin has filed a bill in the Circuit
Court to prevent the enforcement of a

The California Hlnea.
San Fbancihco, November 19. 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.

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. Rand, President of the Burrard Inlet

which has a charter to build a line from
here to Snmas to connect with the North
ern Pacific, denies the truth of the ru
mor that an English company hai pur

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,

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

served a term in prison, having been
found guilty of cutting a boy's throat.
Ludwig Rosenbeck, charged with mur

bomb which killed the boy. Ed Fox,
charged with murder and arson in hav
ing touched olf the bomb. .Leo worm,

reassembles, a resolution of inquiry as
to the action of Secretary Gresham in

such a foreign policy as is now contain
plated should properly have the atten
tion and judgment of Congress.
