Secretary Hitchcock is so impressed with the Klamath project that he will set aside $2,000,000 more to complete the work. Only two places were vacant in the senate at roll call on the opening day, Mitchell, of Oregon, and Burton, of Knasas, not responding to their names. Congressman Lorimer, of Chicago, wants congress to appropriate $31,000,- 000 for a 14-foot channel from the Chi cago drainage canal to the Mississippi.

Washington, Dec. 5.—Senators anti representatives are devoting much time to the procurement of g >od com mittee places and chairmanships; that is, tbe vast majority are engaged in this pursuit. Some few of the old- timers who are already comfortably fixed are not bothered, but their num her is comparatively small. is being over- Speaker Cannon I whelmed by r requests for committee assignments, and is being flooded with all manner of letters from men of in- fluence, who are working in behalf of Borne of the struggling congressmen. He hae 40 applicants /or every goo«l committee vacancy, and he probably hae a dozen endorsements of every ap plicant. But he is gradually getting to the bottom, and soon will be able to announce the elate as he intends it shall stand during the Fifty-ninth con gress. In the senate, where committees are appointed by a special committee, yet to be selected, there is no such on slaught as is in evidence about tbe speaker’s oflice. Senator Fulton is the only member of the Oregon delegation who is in line for promotion, for he is the only mem ber who is at liberty to participate in the work of congress. As previously in dicated in these dispatches, Senator Fulton will probaby be made chairman of the committee on claims, and there is a long chance that be will become a member of the committee on commerce, the mighty committee that handles all river and harbor bills, as well as other legislation relating to commerce, other than interstate commerce. Senator Piles, being a member new of the senate, will probably not get very good committees. New members are never given desirable committee places. It is a rule of the senate to give the beet positions to men of the longest service, and this leaves little that is desirable for the new senators. It is quite impossible to tell what places Piles will get, though he would be pleased with membership on naval affairs, be«-auee of the Puget sound navy yard. Senator Ankeny is almost certain to secure the chaimanship of the commit tee on irrigation. This is a very desir able place for him because he is thor oughly familiar with irrigation, and understands the subject. Moreover, as chairman of that committee be could doubtless do much to aid the state of Washington in getting better recogni tion under the National reclamation law than it hae received up to this time. Over at the house end there is not much change in sight for the Washing ton members. Cushman has one good commmittee place, on interstate and foreign commerce, where he will get an early chance to go on record on the railway rate question, and he has one other committee, private land claims. Representative Jones is a member of the river and harbor committee and is perfectly satisfied to remain in that one place. He don’t want anything better. Mr. Humphrey faretl very well for a new member two years ago, get ting a place on merchant marine and fisheries, together with two lesser com mittees. Senator Heyburn, of Idaho was one of the most unfortunate new senators in the matter of committee assignments two vearB ago. He secured the chair manship of the committee on manufac tures, his moBt important committee. He will be given better committee assignments than he had in the last congress, but it is impossible to state what places he will get. Senator Dubois, being a Democrat, is on the minoritj side of several im portant committees, but is chairman of none, for minority senators have no chairmanships. His most important place at this time is on privileges anil elections, the committee that will re port on the Smoot case. On that com mittee Dubois is considered the most drastic anti-Mormon member, and he will probab.y be prominently identified with the fight against Smoot. NO. 24 Malheur and Palouse Projects Have Too Many Obstacle*. GREAT CROWD WITNESSES SCENE House Receives a Large Number of Bills and Resolution*—Senate Session is Brief. Washington, Dee. 5. — The assemb ling yesterday of the members of the Fifty-ninth congress for their first ses sion was marked by no unusual inci dents, but it attracted to the capitol crowds of spectators, who took a lively interest in the proceedings. The day was beautiful. The eun shone brightly and the air was keen. Society was out in force and filled the reserved galler ies, while visitors unable to find seats roame«! the corridors to catch glimpses of public men. In the senate the pro ceedings were brief, adjournment being taken after a session of 20 minutes out of respect to the late Senator Platt of Connecticut, but moBt of the spectators seemed to find quite as much to interest them in observing the senators who re mained on the floor after adjournment as they could have expected had the session continued longer. The house was in session for more than three hours, and, while the pro ceedings followed the program that haB marked the opening of congress for many years, there was enough of inter est to hold an exceptionally large audi ence during the entire time. Cannon was re-elected speaker. BILLS OFFERED IN CONGRESS. Every Question Before Nation Cov- ered by House Members. Washington, Dec. 4. — Secretary Hitchcock has canceled the allotment of $2,250,000 for tbe Malheur irriga tion project in Eastern Oregon, and the allotment of $2 800,000 for tlie Palouse project in Washington, which means, in substance, that there is no prospect that either project will be built by tbe government at an early day. The can celing of these allotments does not ne cessarily mean the entire abandonment of either project; it is still possible that they may be constructed at some future time, but not until other pro jecta have been built in both states. The Malheur allotment is canceled because that project is involved in so many obstacles that its early construc tion .is utterly impossible. Tbe secre tary sees no immediate prospect of an adjustment with the owners of the wagon road lands, he sees no prospect of an early understanding with other landowners; he sees no indication whatever that the governmenat could build this project for several years, even if it had the money to spend. He lias therefore turned the Malheur allot ment back into the reclamation fund, in order that it may be expended else where. The secretary cancels the Palouse allotment for very different reasons. This project will cost approximately $6,000,000, and is of such a nature that not an acre of land can be irri gated until tbe entire project is com pleted. It cannot be built in units, as in the Klamath or Yakima country. The secretary hae not $6,000,000 which he can spend in Washington at this time, and has therefore decided to post pone building the Palouse project until more funds are available, possibly for ten years or more. Meanwhile, as he informed the Washington delegation today, he will go ahead and build the Okanogan pro ject, for which he this afternoon allot ted $500,000, and it is believed that before long be will approve and autho rize the construction of the Tietan and Sunnyside projects.

PLOT AGAINST CZAR Plan Was Io Capture the Entire Imperial Family. CZAR'S BODY GUARD IMPLICATED Grand Duke Believed to Head Move H.» Object Being to Proclaim Himself Dictator. St. Petersburg, Dec. 2.—It is re ported here that one of the grand duke* plotted to arrest the czar at Tsarskoe- Selo, hie object being to proclaim him self dictator, relying on his promises of complete reform to secure the support of the Socialists and woiking men. Owing to the indiscretion of one of the grand «luxe's ugents, the plot was disclosed to one of tbe czar’B aid-de- earnps, who promptly ordered the ar rest of 20 officers and 25 men in vari ous regiments. The discovery of this plot hae caused great consternation in court circles, more than any revolutionary movement throughout the empire. Can’t Trust His Body Guard. St. Petersburg, Dec. 2.—The guards arrested at Tsarskoe-Selo Thursday night and Friday morning numbered 250, including 10 officers. Numerous rumors are current, including the asser tion that one of the grand dukes is in volved in a conspiracy against the em peror, but none of them can be verified. It only seems certain that no confidence can be placed even in tne guard regi ments. Arrested eoldiers are seen every day, escorted by comrades with drawn swords. St. Petersburg is swarming with Cos sacks, the only troops against whom there is no suspicion of disaffection. It is understood that the whole Cos sack forces of the empire, some 650,- 000, will be mobilized. A conference was held at Count Witte’s residence last night to consider tbe demands of the telegraphers. Count Witte haB declined to receive a deputa tion from the t< legraph and postal strikers, on the ground that they are violating their duty to the state, but he sent a note to the deputation recom mending that the strikers address them selves to their Immediate chiefs. TRY TO DESTROY TREATY. Japanese Torpedo Boat Make* Dar ing Attack on Commi*«ion Seattle, Wash., Dec. 2.—The attempt to murder the peace delegates and de- stroy the treaty between Japan and Russia, which was drawn up by the plenipotentiaries in Portsmouth, and which was being sent to the mikado, was witnessed by officers and passen gers on board the Dakota, on the night of her arrival in Yokohama. Dr. Wil liam Lopp, surgeon of the Dakota, in speaking of the incident, said: “The whole thing happened the night of our arrival in Yokohama. We were lying in Mississippi bay, just out side of tbe breakwater. All the tor pedo boats and war vessels which es corted tbe peace commission were drawn up in a long line. The launch containing the delegation and the treaty left the warship and started for the landing. Suddenly one of the tor pedo lioate, anchored near the end of the line of battleships, slipped her cab.e and started for tlie launch. Tbe torpedo boat made for her at a right angle course. “The people on the launch law the torpedo boat leave the line of craft and they knew what sas coming. The launch was slow, and the torpedo boat came on like a comet. Like a shot from a cannon she rushed on, and in a minute struck the launch, cutting her completely in two, and raced on into the darkness. We could see the men struggling in the water, and clinging to the pieces of the wrecked boat. “Launches from the battleships were at once sent to their rescue, and saved all but one of the occupants. The treaty was also saved/’ Will Oppose Rate Bill. bj Cleveland, Dec. 2. — Grand Chief K'rren Stone, of the Brotherhood of notive Engineers, who announced I«, ztuffalo a day or two ago that the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers would be active in the matter of rail road rate legislation, said tonight with reference to the plane ot the organiza tion that the officers will outline cer tain views, which will lie distributed to subdivisions, and from there word will go to members of the organization. Mr. Stone added that the whole mat ter will be done in secret. More Troops Join Mutiny. Paris, Dec. 2. — Special dispatches from St. Petersburg say that the cab men there have gone on strike.
