Washington. April 6.—The third day
of the extra session of the Sixty-sec
ond congress found the democratic
members of the house still confronted
by several problems of organi/aiion
and the legislative program not yet fin
ally decided upon.
It was the hope of the leaders that
a numl>er of the new committees could
be organized today. Representative
Mann, the minority leader, entinisted
with the duty of selecting the minority’
memherphip, expected to be ready
with nominations for several of the
more important committees soon after
the house met today. The house then
would witness the inauguration of a
new era in national legislative affairs.
The new committees are to be elect
ed by the house itself. The democratic
nominations have all been prepared by
the ways and means committee acting
as a committee on committees and the
slate thus made up will go through
without a change. The democrats also
are expected to vote for the minority
selections.
Considerable interest centers in the
assignments that are to be given to the
republican insurgents in the house. It
has been reported that ^Ir. Mann
would prove liberal.
The senate committee on commis-
tees may be engaged today in com
mittee selections but the session of the
senate Itself probably wall continue
only a fe>v minutes and will be ad-
jotirned to meet again on Monday. The
house may adjourn over tmtil Monday
also if the committee elections pro
gress satisfactorily.

Washington, April 6.—In the seat-
drawing contest Tuesday North C/\r-
olina fared pretty well. Representa
tive Doughton drew' the best s'^at
and gave it To Mr. Page so that the
latter could be by Fitzgerald, chair-
main of the committee on appropiia-
tions. Representative Kit chin fared
worse than anybody else and fell in
what is known as “The Cherokee
Strip.”
The patronage committee has n‘.
loosened up yet, and some of the boys
are an the anxious bench.
Fuller Wishart, a Charlotte !ad
has been a page here for more than
a year. Mr. Webb has been able to
keep him on but Fuller ma.v have to
walk the plank now to give wav to
older persons. Two thousand do!l»i’:
worth of patronage will not go vin>
far among a district full of constitu
ents.
A numbet of Confederate veterans
are ex))ecting their last rewards at
the hands of the party. R. McMathe-
son, of Taylorsville, and .Tames C
Smith, of .Asheville, are among the
Tar Heels here.
The feature of the first day o
congress was the story to the ef
fect that Col. WMlliam .Jennings viriu
ally declared himself a candidate for
the presidential nomination. His mos;
intimate friends say that he is goin^
to run. This came as a surprise to
many people here for it has been
said time and again that Oham;)
Clark was the Nebraskan’s candidate.
Immediately after the st(jry conferti-
ing Mr. Bryan’s intentions was whis
pered about the caiiitol the leacier
of the national democracy appeared
on the floor of the house, just before
the gavel fell, and was given a real
ovation. There was nothing fictitious
abotit the ring of the applause that
came from congressmen and soecfa-
tors. What happened indicated very
plainlv that ('ol. Bryan is not ,^ei
dead politically. Two minutes later
Governor Harmon, who always uns
well in Ohio, came in and was greet
ed with a jojful round of applause
liiit there was as much differeiice In
the two demonstrations as tlieve is
Ijetween a negro campmeeting and a
negro wake. Bryan caused the big
noise. The Buckeye man \\as at
disadvantage, however, for very few
per.sons in the house knew him oy
sight and everybody knew Bryaii.
I l)elieve tnat this ma(ie the differ
ence in the receptions of the t\\o
men.
Col. Bryan has said that Col. Roose
velt and 'President Taft won before
the people on his policies and he be
lieves that nis time has come.
Mr. Bryan may not be the next
democratic candidate i).ut he niust
be prayerfully considered. This is the
concensus of opinion here today.
The democrats of the houwe have
had three more good days. Harmony
is the watchwoid.
Mr. E. S. Reid, of Charlotte, was
here for the op-ening day. So was M.
L. Shipman, of Raleigh.

to have it referred to the committee on

! The Vermont senator, as a member
of the committee, voied last session

I Never before in the history of (he

El Paso, Texas, April 6.- News dis

Madero’s Camp. San Andreas, near
Chihuahua, Mexico, April 6.—Orders
have been sent throughout the insur
recto ranks lo be prepared for instant j cl'at'Kes ot
east of Chihuahua, to this point, which
is within 3.5 miles of the city.
'I'he nature of the proposed move
ment is not divulged.
Abram (U)nzales, the provisi(nial gov
ernor of Chihuahua state, frequently
holds conferences with Madero con
cerning the regTilation ot ins-uiiecto
territory.
At Madera, a town of about 600 peo
ple, the insurrectofj liave ordered a
police and municipal system under Al
bino Freis, father-in-law oi General
Orozco. Two saw mills and two box
factories are being operated at Ma
dera by their owners under permission
from the insurrectos. ^ ^
All Americans in the mines and the
lumber cai .p» in that neighhorliood
are receiving sui»]»lies through insur-
reoto courtesy.
The Mexican Northwestern Railway
running 180 miles to Madera is under
complete control of the insurrectos,
who have two trains and American
crews at their command. Whenever
the officials of the railroad wish to
send a su})ply out of Chihuahua City,
they mus’l first obtain permission
from the 'exican officials and then
obtain a permit from J.Iadero io enter
insurrecto territory.
“Can we send a provision train to
Madero?” is a question frequently sent
lo Odozco from Chihuahua City. In
this way a kind of bi-party agreement
is entered iiito between Governor Ahu-
mada in the city and the insurrectos
in the field. The trains and railroad,
hov/ever, remain Ai the ontrol of the
insurrectos.
