I ) . C. , Nov. 15. [ Special to
Jim. I In the reorganisation of the
Kcnnteimmcalately after the Ith uf March
next , thcro can bo but llttlo dsuot as to who
will bo the premier of tnnt body. Senator
Sherman , who now practically controls the
foreign policy , so far as llio sonata ls con
cerned , will bo succeeded by Senator .lohn
T. Morgan , of Selma , Ala. Although Sena
tor Morgan has never occupied any diplo
matic position hu bus made the foreign re
lations ot the country his especial .stud ) ' , nnd
It Is conceded that ho is in this
respect tha best equipped democrat in
the Donate. Thi best evidence ol his
ability llos In the fact that Pruildent Hum-
son soloi'teil Mr. Morgan to bo ono of the
liorlncr sea Arbiters , The now chairman of
the foreign relations committee wns a "rebel
brigadier" In the literal sense of the word ,
having Joined the confederate army ns a
private und loft It as a brigadier general ;
but In allot his speeches Mr. Morgan has
nlways shown that ho can rlso nbovo party
nnd sectionalism , so that Senator Sherman
\\lll Imvo us his successor In the chairman-
chlpof that committee ns able a man ns it is
possible f rth-jtloinocratto party to furuish.
C'o * l < iMl lor Approprlutloin.
Unfortuimioly this cannot DO said of the
great camuiitlco on approbriatlons. That
chairmanship will go by right of succession
to Soiinlor Francis Marion Cockrell ofVnr -
rcnsbunr , Mo. Scnalor CockreP Is a well
informed man and able debater , but ho has
the aamo narrowness of conception on na
tional mattois , counted with the same liber
ality for homo appropriations , tuat Imvo dis
tinguished Chairman Holman of the house
committee on appropriations. Senator Gor
man oC Maryland in the aule.it democrat on
tbo coiniullleo and has nlways lo 1 Iho minor
ity on appropriation debutes , but Senators
Cockrell and Call oulrank him on Iho com
inlltco , nutl ho cannot therefore succeed Mr
Allison In tno chairmanship , unless both
of tnosc gentlemen yield lo him. which is
hardly lo lie oxpeelcd. It is Iho general be
lief that Mr , fiortnnn will modciuly resume
his old chairmanship of Iho committee on
printing , and will hereafter divldo h s time
between editing Iho Congressional Dlroclory
nnd chopping off republican heads in tno
government printing ofllce. If tin accepts
this chairmanship the first head to fall under
his keen guiMolino will bo that ofV. . H.
Michael , the present editor of the Directory ,
who , as commander of the local post of the
League of Union Veterans , issued n general
order Just before the recent election in
which tie called upon all members or the
order to support President Harrison , and di
rected attoulioii to Mr. Cleveland's pension
record.
Itncn Tin' the Finance Committee.
There will bo a dlgnltlod scramble bolwecn
Senators Voorheoa of Indiana mm Carlisle of
KonliicKy lor the chairmanship ol" the
finance committee , which In Iho sonalo lakes
churco of all revenue bills. Tbo difference
between the two gentlemen is that Scnalor
Voorhoos knows praciically nothing about
the tariff , but stands nt the head of the com
mitted , whllo Mr. Carlisle knows all about
the democratic side of tlio tariff , but stands
nt the foot of thu democratic side ot tlio
committee. It can bo said of Senator Voor-
nre.s , however , thai ho has made a lifo study
of the cuiTiinoy question , having been the
Ural [ imminent man In ihoest to advocate ,
u nnlf century n'go , an unlimited Issue of
proenbicks and free coinage of silver. It
inny bo that Mr. Yoorhoos will be given a
chance to cxpialn his record upon greenback ,
silver and ether currency before iho chair
man of llnnnco is selected.
Senator Voorhcos' colleague. Senator
Duvia Turplo , Is slated by popular opinion
for Iho chairmanship of the pensions com
mittee , of which ha is nt present the ranlclng
democrat.
Senator CJcort'O ( .Jraham Vo t of Kansas
City , Mo. , will probably no chairman ot the
committee on nublic buildings und grounds ,
now piosulcd over by Millionaire 1eland
Stanford of Calllornin.
Senator Calvin S. Hrico or Lima , O , may
outrun Senator Alfred H. Colqulll of At-
liuitii , Ga , und become chr.irmnn of the com-
liulteo on postnfllccs and past roads. Sena
tor .lames L. Pugh of Kufula. Ala , , will un
doubtedly succeed the venerable Air. Hoar
us chairman of Mio Judiciary and Senator
Hansom of North Carolina will bo chairman
of the committee OQ commerce , which In the
semite nisumos the duties or the river and
harbor comnMtoo In Iho houso.
'J'lio chiiirmnnslilps of thu various select
committees which ire now hold by demo

At tonight's session President , Loucks
delivered llio annual address , lie cnlogbcd
the late President Polu , commented on tno
crisis through which the allinr.ca had passed
and said the trouble in the Industrial situa
tion was not because of produc
tion of wealth , but because of its un
just distribution through special privileges
conferred on the Industries and private cor
porations. To remedy that condition re
quired a change of laws , ivnich chances hud
uccn formulated In their demands , and to
that extent thpv had become a political or
ganization and their minds wtro trainee to
look for relief through political action at the
Inllot box , itttner than Ihrough com
mercial co-operation , as had been at
tempted before. Continuing the address
says : When wo uccumo fully convinced
that relief must come through political
action to repeal the special privileges con
ferred on favored classes , \ > o woto con
fronted with two enemies the one. thos < J
who were to bo deprived of special priv
ilege. " , and who , controlling unlimited
wealth , through which they con
trolled the industries of tbo na
tion , the press burl the political
machinery of Loth political parties , are loth
to lose tuoir so-called vested rights. Thny
rc'-orted to abuse , ridicule and miaronrosen-
tation to destroy organized labor bv wielding
a tremendous power. On the ether hand
many Joined our ranks from selHsh motives ,
hoping to use the political upheaval to
their own personal advantage , The
enemy from within will prove moro
dangerous than those from without.
Some were scared off by the former ; many
were sido-tracued by the latter in their ef
forts to use the organizatiou for their own
personal political advantage , or prositulo It
to the politico1 parties with wnlcti
they woio aftlliatcd. Those have
urovcd our worst enemies. It is for
tunate that thcro has boon nri early
opportunity tor testing1 our ilovotlon to '
piiuclplu. Honor to those- who have stood 1
Iho lest and remained faithful. If any have
proven unfaithful they wo no longer worthy
or confidence unit should bo lomoved from
our counsel. The result in the end will bo
beneficial to the order and the ciuso. "
The coiicludlni ; ' , ' , OJO words of President
Louck's speech wciu directed nuainst the po
litical methods of the south. To southern
peopletils words were very offensive.

PAIUS , Nov. 15 [ Now York Herald Cable
Special to Tliu Ilau.lTho council of min
isters has uccldcd , under the responsibility
of the minister of Justice , M. Ulcard , lo pro
ceed against the Panama company. M.
do Lus.iops , the throe administrators and alt
the contractors are lo bo made parlies to the
m-oocedings.
A ministerial crisis is Imminent , and a
great scandal will doubtless bo the outcome
of this. The ministry was dlvld.'d upon Iho
question. There were frequent and violent
debates , the itorniy scenes being caused by
M. Hlcard , M. Viotlo , minister of public
works , and M. Hourgeois , minister of tmollc
Instruction , who strongly urged the prosecu
tions. The others were opposed lo lhat
course for political reasons. On Satin day
the scene was so violent between M. Hourn
gcoUandM. Uouvier , mini ; tor ol llnance , tnat
President Carnet was obliged to intorfore.
On Monday the Chamoer passed the resolu
tion making nil citizens , even Iho great dig
nitaries of the Legion of Honor , liable lo
nrrcst for cause. This was an indication
that Count do Losseps xvns to be prosecuted ,
for ho wears Iho c-und cross of Iho national
ordor. In splto of that , however , Iho min
istry did not care to pro ° s the trials , because
a number ol the deputies and politicians are
compromised. They preferred lo get away.
Ordered Din Prosecution ,
At the council held this inornlup , M. Carnet -
not presiding , M. Ulcard , minister of justice ,
said :
"iVs Iho chlof Justice of France , I order
the prosecution of the administrators ot the
Panama canal , "
His colleagues could not bellovo tholr ears.
It was true , however , and they were obliged
to bond. Before anything can bo done the
deputies Dollove that the ministry will fall.
It may fall tomorrow , porhap" , upon the
press bul , for not having taken ttio responsl-
bility for that measure. H Is impossible to
foretell the consequences.
As 1 Imvo said , a great number of politi
cians are actually compromised , not directly
by having taken part In the Panama scheme ,
but in having accepted "commissions" un
der forms moro or less disguised. The
names are known , and the whole world will
coon flee a lot of dirty linen washed.
AVImt It ISrlii s About.
The questions are : Is it necessary ! No. Is
it raoraU Yes. Is It material ! No. For
now nil hopes of reconstructing the
Panama company as a Fronoh affair Is
lost. In fact , it Is not politic , and uo
0110 will regret Its disappearance. Tbo
deputies , senators ind journalists
impllcitod are knonn , but wo hart dubbed l
M. do Lcsseps "The great Frenchman " lt lt
Is \ hard lo see a man SI years old placed nl
tbo bar as a criminal. It will bo a terrible
blow lor the gioat French industry , nnd
many names will corao forth sullcd , and it
will result In much injury to our piosligo In
the world.
This affair has engendered n fooling of un
easiness ( throughout the republic. Franco
must suffer for it. What wo want is mon in
command whosu honesty ib beyond ijuestion.
If uo are deceived public opinion will change
rapidly. Wo have nn example in recent
history , nnd since the unhappy days of the
reign of lioulangism the world has not
such an agitation.
Ti enioniloiis .Sums
Tlio figures which serve as a basis for the
prosecution show that out of J.1100,000,000
francs only 171,030,000 francs were used
properly. Tbo remainder dlsnppaaieil among
newspapers , whicn received SUIOJ,000 francs ,
and politicians , who receivedb,000JOJ ( ftunes.
The contractors nro to bo prosecuted ns nc-
compllces. for they expended on the work
only 7,000,000 francs out of 20.000,000 francs
for ono account , nnd for another 0,000,000
francs nut of H,000,030 Ir.incs received. In
all the burly-burly the news has created It Is
imnassiblo to distinguish between the true
and the false rumors , but the preceding
llgures uro correct. JAujrus Si. Cunc.
