Washington. Aug 48ueaket Crisp
authorizes the statement that there is no
basis whatever f' r any one ot the maoy
reports circulated regarding the appoint
nient of chairmen of committees. . He

tor speaker He does not expect, to an
oounce tbe committee until eight or ten
days after the organ zstiou Monday. He
may make an exception of the committee
on coinage, but has reached no such de
termination as yet. - The speaker's sole
aim is to do only that which win tie of
tbe greatest service to the par?v, which
mean co-operation w:b the adminittra-
Ion The truth is, it an depends on the
tone of the message. II Cleveland shall

might be considered . wise to put Cock

which- event Cock ran woo-fj ?ve the"
way "and means to become chairman of
the coinage committee. If, on the other
hand, tn president should deem a more
pai ihc policy advisable, it mithtbeenn
sider-d wise to permit Bland to retain
bis position, if be bonld care to do fo.
despite tbe opposing majority . in his
committee. If the compo-itjon of tne

fected by that of the Coinage cor: mittee.

from the city hall in New York to walk
to Sun Francisco in 170 days This io
itself is nothing remarkable, but the
strange part ot thoir long journoy Is rhwt.-'
it is to be performed without eating any
tood. The leader of tho party 4s a cVeui- ..
1st who claims to-have, discovered Rn
elixir tntde from a Madagasc.tr hdrb thtvt -will
siistnio life. He has tried tbe elixir , '
himself for several days, eating no food
at all, and now his idea is to nuke a cru
cial text ol his discovery by subsisting
himself and his .two companions on it
during a walk across Hie coot men t, which
will be admitted to be as severe a test as ' '
could well be devised.

' From Saturday's- Daily
Ray Crojfs, a boy about 13 years rid, son
of Mr. anA Mrs. J. H. Cross of this city,
was drowned iu Mill preek yesterday even
iug soon after half past 6 o'clock. At that
boor he was noticed sitting iu a boat at
tached to tin west hank ot that stream, sod
hailed a boy on the east side and asked him
to go swimming. As soon a possible the
boy came arouud on the railroad bridge, ami
when he arrived at the plaoe Ray' clothe
were in the boat, but he could not be seen.
The little fellow thought Riy was biding
from him, and, after looking around for a
while, went home. After eatiog his sup
per he came down town again, aaw the
clothe in the same place and gave the
alarm, and ear;h immediately began.
Grappling hook were procured and the bed
of tne creek was dragged all night without
finding the body Thi. morning it was
kept up by several p rsons, aud two heavy
charges of giant powder exploded. Several
fish w re brought to the surface by tbe ex
plosions, but these did not accomplish any
other result. About 11 o'olock the father,
who had been at work trying to recover i.i
boy, found him wi'h a grapp ing hook, lio
waa lodged against the second bent of the
rulroad bri 'ge, hi arm and 1 -gs being in
auchr a position that it was almo-t imposai-.
ble for him to have risen to the surface after
he went ioto the water.
It ia supposed that Ray, after calling to
his companion, undressed and went into the
creek. As he could" not swim, and the
water being very deep he sank and drowned.
All morning. tip to tbe hour mentioned, there
had been a large Dumber of people doing
everything possible to recover the remains,
and our citizen displayed their nsiAiUre
hearted generosity. fa"
Mr. aud Mrs. Cross have followed Jo the
grave three of their children two boys and
a girl since they have resided in this city,
snd in the loss of the fourth one at Tbe
Dallea they have the heartfelt sympathy of
the community, - -
