'J ho speaker H expected tomorrow to nu-
nounco his committees. 'J'lio pioblomlth
which be has struggled for two wcom past
bids fair to bu solvoa. Wlmiovor selections
tnnv bo in a Oo , ttioto will bo more heartburn
ings and disappointments than In any stiug-
RO of UivO chiu actcr In congress for ttio past
twontv Jems. The defeat of Mr. Mills was
in llHoll BO utioxpoutcd by his admirers that
they have found it extremely dlfllcult to ro-
covur from llioir disappointment. It does
not nppoar that Speaker Crlsu uill put much
salvo on the wounds of the vanquished. In
spltu of the stionuous efforts inndo by the
Uomour.itlo leaders like Gorman , Cuillslo ,
Gny und others to induce Mr. Crisp to altct
bis determination to appoint Mr. Springer
and to substitute Mr. Mills in his place ,
thu speaker nbidos bv bis ( k'torininalion to
bo his own arbiter In a matlur for which his
own Judgment will DO hold responsible. Ho
points to thu fuet Unit it Is no now thing
for a successful speaker to select Mis chair
men of ways and mentis outside of bis
strongest competitor for the chair. Ho call *
the attention of these who have been
wging Mr. Mill * ' candidacy to the tact
that in the i-'oity-fourtti congress , Speaker
Kuir preferred William K. Motrison to
Samuel J. Kandall , that in the Pony-fifth
eoiigioss , roinandoVood was boIULlod by
Mi Uaiidnll , o\ur Mr Bluckbuin , who u.is
bis chief compuiitor , and In tl.o Fortj-eighth
congress , when Mr. C.ullslo , who is now bo"
biiongly utglng the necessity of Mill. , ' ap
polnimonlas speaker , ho again selected
( oionel Moirison over Mr. Htndull who had
been his best oiponent | in the canvass. Thoio
aio good ntULCdents , sajsMi. Crisp's friends ,
to jubtify the speaker In his determination
to select Mr Springer in the place of tbo
cage from Corsiuinn

Mr. Springer then is to so to the head of

bold and , at thosamo tlmo , a shrewd one * .
Ho attached himself to the foitunesof Air.
Springer In the spoakciship light and stcoj
by him until the end upon personal assui-
nuco from Mr. Springer that ho should bo
tiikon care of for bU loyalty. As Mr.
Spriugei's following made the successful
candidate for s-peakor , Springer was in a po
sition to dlctato terms which , it Is undoi-
stood , ho did prior to the tiansfor of his vote
to that candidate. His Illinois ft tends. In an
appeal to Mi. Crisp , uskcu him to locogiiteo

As this was the lust request of Senator Plumb

Judge of Crimes Poster has concluded his
Inquiry into the nssiiult upon the man-of-wars

In the streets of Valparaiso on October 10
last , and passed tbo testimony over to tbo
procurator fiscal , or stt.to's attorney , who ,
In accorJanco wltb the Chilian cilminal pro
cedure , will lay down the law in the cuso ,
nftor which the Judge will give bis decision.
I have seen the entire testimony. Tbcro
nioTOO pages of It. It goes on to say that
the Baltimore's men , who were arrested ,
stated that a citl/en and ether pai ties
assaulted them. Theio was not tlio slightest
ovidenoo of handcufllng or bad tioatmcnt by
the police ofllcors. The seaman Gurrott
thought , but was not sure , that a policeman
stabbed him.
Had All Itcon Drinking.
"All of the Baltimore sailors , vvlth the ex
ception of ono Brown , who aupoifed to have
boon sober , acknowledged thit the } bad boon
drinking. Thirty American sailors wctu
ai rested In the llrsi instance.
The court of Inquiry wf s kept waiting for
ovitlenco that was ovenatod , in arriving nt
any conclusion , because Captain Schloy of
tbo Baltimore stated that Minister Ugan
would orocuio other wltne sos to the afti-ay.
The judge adds that the inquiry is now con
cluded without thcso piomisod witnesses
being pioducod.

knocked him down. He doo.i not think that
the stabbing was the cause ol Turnbull's
death.

Ofilccr Johnson lifted him in his aims to
carry him to n neighboring diug store At
that moment , It Is allogrd by the Baltimore's
men , the Chilian police came up and llred at

him.

mixed up In the not. lit ) bad n revolver in

simuly to defend hlm-elf. TSo Judge says
that thcro Is stiong doubt as to Cortex' com-
plicitv In the affair.
One of the witnesses testified that l.o saw
thrco pollccnion holdinir Klggin when bo was
shot. Our sailors' btoiios vveio the same us
they gave aboaul the Baltimore utter tbo
iibbault. The evidence of the saloonkeepeis
