The thing that has vexed the speaker most, is the construction of the committees so as to accomplish or defeat certain proposed legisla- tion. He desires, above all things, to map out a certain policy for the house, and this can only be done by a proper composition of the committees, He had but little trouble in determining the committees on ways and means and appropriations, bnt some of the less important committees have given him unmensured trouble. For instance, the state department has a policy which it desires to introduced at the earliest opportunity to head off or at least to come in with the republicans, for whom Browne will offer the bill spoken of yesterday.

NeBRASKA City, Neb., Dec. 20.—[Special to the Ber.]—Postmaster McCraig a few days ago received a letter from a Mrs. A. Mattis, of Millersburg, Pa., inquiring concerning Mr. J.1. True, whose history, mysterious disappearance from home and discovery after twenty-five years, was published in the BeE several weeks ago. The lady says his description and part of his story leads her to believe that Mr. True is a brother of hers who left home some twenty-five years ago and was reported to have been killed by Indians, but of which no authentic report had ever been received. Mr, True, who resides in Cass county, some fourteen miles north of this city, upon hearing of the letter, dis- claimed all knowledge of the sister, saying that he never had a sister, and further that his former home in Pennsylvania was Mifflin- bul'g, instead of Millersburg, as published. He leaves for Pennsylvania in a few wecks, preparatory to the state university, and a res- olution to that effect was adopted. 5 F. B.
